Chapter 107 The Great Drought

The severe drought in the southwest, the invasion of the Qianxiang Kingdom, and one after another troubled Zheng and Di could not help being a little irritable, but no one in an important position would not be scolded until the queen gave birth to a son-in-law. Many, the infant child was named the prince immediately, and in the same year, Emperor Zhenghe accepted the advice of officials from the Ministry of Rites and began to enrich the harem.

The matter of Zhenghe's selection of concubines has little to do with Jia Zhen. The invasion of Qianxiang Kingdom is under the control of the Ministry of War. Although the Southwest Drought is under the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry, this is also an opportunity for the Ministry of Officials to clean up the Southwest officialdom.Liang Min and the others were quite smart, finally calmed down and retreated from there.Jia Zhen was not in a hurry to send errands to Liang Min and the others. Although the imperial court had not had as many talents as the crucian carp crossing the river these years, they were not as stretched as before. trip

"Last time when Liang Min and the others got involved in that incident, you got a lot of gossip. How dare you use a newcomer? What if you get caught?" Hu Ji couldn't help persuading. "Didn't we also experience this way? Liang Min and the others are good now, but they may not be useful in this matter. The folk customs in the southwest are tough, and Liang Min's temperament is too peaceful, so it is not suitable. Besides, as long as I am in this position, there will be no Don't invite gossip, there are a lot of rumors coming from Jinling, looking at me in the capital, don't you know? I don't know when I have so many more relatives and nephews." Jia Zhen thought of Butler Ning I couldn't help being a little angry when I sent the letter to myself, a bunch of uneasy things.

"You are the patriarch. Besides, the emperor also has poor relatives. It's okay for them to borrow some light." Hu Ji would not admit that he was gloating. "Why don't you try it? I don't know why I have a nephew whose surname is not Jia and who is not even considered as the Third Road." Jia Zhen gave Hu Ji an angry look, and continued, "I can't bear it." I can't afford the blessing of having many children and grandchildren. Besides, the boys in the clan are enough for my headache."

"Brother, this just shows that you are capable. As the saying goes, rich people have distant relatives in the deep mountains, not to mention you are not in the deep mountains. However, it is better to take care of it as soon as possible, and don't let others ruin your reputation." Hu Ji also called at the beginning. He was joking, but he was serious when he said it. There are only a few kinds of ups and downs in the officialdom that are most taboo, not to mention that Jia Zhen does have a lot of power now.

"Instead of blocking other people's mouths, it's better to cover their ears." Jia Zhen sighed, outsiders only thought that the emperor's confidant, the court's important minister, and the title of the title, how glorious she was, and many dignitaries and Qingliu saw her. If you want to save yourself, you have to sell some face, but others don't know how careful and meticulous you are in doing things, you dare not make the slightest mistake, and you have to figure out the meaning of the above, which is really tiring.Not to mention anything else, let's just say that four or five out of ten of the imperial historians' memorials were about impeaching themselves, and many people are waiting to make up stories for themselves!

"If you dare to speak, you are not afraid that walls have ears." Hu Ji spat. He knew that Jia Zhen's words were so soft that others would not hear them, but he still reminded him dutifully. "I just said it casually. I will leave the matter of the severe drought in the southwest to you. Liang Min and the others will be released after staying for a year or so. I still have to figure out where to send them?" Jia Zhen changed the subject, He wanted to send them all to places with bad mountains and bad waters, so as to educate the local people and improve the local economic level, but it didn't make sense logically.

"Don't even think about places like Yongzhou and Liuzhou. People may not know what they think of you. It's better to choose one or two good ones from some down-and-out officials. You may not be able to produce Liuzhou, Han Changli's. .” Hu Ji said with a smile. "Well, I don't expect to produce a few Liugongs and Hangongs. Besides, I think your method is not appropriate. Maybe by then we will all become bureaucrats who exclude them. Public revenge and political opponents, how can we compare If we can get one of their pens, we’ll all be the ones who show bad faces in the future.” Jia Zhen smiled and said, he admires Du Fu, Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan and others, but after all, such talents are a minority, and most of them are in the final analysis. I don't know how to be an official.

"None of us has ever sung a white face and a red face, but we just want to say that we have to show some real skills." Hu Ji hates the so-called literati's vain brains and sour routines the most. To write poetry is to drink and go out in the green, but I have to spend some energy to study what the people are suffering. "It's done, don't put on that face, I know you have prejudices, let him do it anyway, anyway, the Holy Majesty is also arranged, so there is nothing wrong with the two of us." Jia Zhen threw down the booklet in her hand, Replaced with another one. "I've opened my eyes. I failed the rankings. I didn't write poems to satirize us. Seeing that we don't care about him, I became more and more excited. Listen to what he said. Now he is even more dissipated. Women's knowledge is inferior. If you don't say anything else, just talk about his style, I don't want to see him, even if he is an official, this evaluation may not be good." Hu Ji was so angry when he thought of this matter, he endured it. Can't help complaining.

"I mentioned everything, and you just complain about it. After all, this man is talented, so he is unavoidably proud and arrogant, which is normal. Why do you, a servant of the official department, have trouble with a man, and instead flatter him? Identity." Jia Zhen rubbed her brows helplessly, speaking of which, this person is a rare thorn in the side. "It's just a few words to you, I'm looking at the Holy One, but I'm quite depressed because of this incident." Hu Ji smiled and continued. "That's right, you're depressed to the point where you are now. This year, he's quite famous in the capital, and he's quite famous among the unsuccessful candidates." Jia Zhen continued, "According to me, this It is still necessary to send talented people to places like Liuzhou and Yongzhou, but it is better to choose a few promising people who need to be polished and experienced, and it is better to make some small mistakes, and it would be better to atone for the crimes."

"Just think about it carefully. We still have to negotiate the division of labor with the two ministries of workers and households in the severe drought in the southwest. I'll take care of this first." After Hu Ji said this, he felt much better, and turned back to work.As for the new poem he heard on the road, he didn't tell Jia Zhen about it. Anyway, the two of them have been talked about too much, and they don't care much anymore.

There was a severe drought in the southwest, and there was no harvest. Emperor Zhenghe had already planned to offer sacrifices to the sky to pray for rain, but this was not an important method after all.The Ministry of Households has estimated the drought situation, proposed tax relief for the Southwest, and will allocate enough food and other materials and other things, and the Ministry of Industry has also come up with a plan-digging wells or canals for water. "It's not that this severe drought not only made the people lose their crops, but also the wells ran out of water. As a result, many people left their homes and many refugees were waiting to be resettled." The proposal is not very favorable. "However, digging canals to divert water is a waste of manpower and material resources. Among other things, the two canals there have long been dry and there is not much water. If you want to drink water, you can only drink water from Pang County. When the canals are dug here, I think it will be difficult. There are not many households left." The minister of the Ministry of Industry shook his head and said, digging wells is actually more reliable than digging canals to divert water.

The Minister of the Household Department calculated the expenses in his heart, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry was not in a hurry, looking down at the plan in his hand. "Then let's do as you said." The Minister of the Household Department did the calculations before he let go. The money in the treasury is arranged, and there is still a small gap. He also figured out a way. So many imperial merchants Salt merchants have gained a lot of benefits from the imperial court on weekdays, so it is time to put in some effort. The Minister of the Household Department unconsciously thought of Jia Zhen's proposal, but felt that it was very feasible. Instead of suppressing and guarding against merchants all day long, it would be better Make the best use of it, so it's not a bad idea to raise some status. Relaxing some clothing and dressing is enough to make these people who are already rich enough to be tempted. After all, what they lack is a status that rivals wealth.

It was the first time that Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was so forthright when he read Shangshu of the Ministry of Accounting. He was still worrying about how to dig more money from the Ministry of Accounting. The Ministry looks so rich and powerful. "The officials sent by the Ministry of Industry are selected?" Jia Zhen, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, glanced at the Minister of the Ministry of Households. It seemed that the books recommended by Liu Hongfei to the Minister of the Ministry of Households were quite useful. Jia Zhen suddenly felt that Liu Hongfei would not go to the Imperial College It's really a pity, but thinking about Liu Hongfei's talent, the Guozijian is too young to be suitable for him.

Hubu Shangshu was a little proud, but he did not forget to praise his subordinates a few times. This method was first proposed by Xu Wenqing, a narrow-minded ghost.Zhenghedi's step is also to attract jade, to see the ability and foundation of merchants and the like.

Jia Zhen had heard Xu Wenqing talk about it. Although it was vague, he didn't care about it at the time. After all, this was not his scope of responsibility, and he shouldn't inquire too much. "Don't worry, it's been checked properly. This is the list." The Minister of the Ministry of Industry has a very good attitude towards Jia Zhen. The few he selected are all doing things with their heads down, and their tempers are easy to get along with. I believe Jia Zhen's vision in choosing people is not bad. It will be bad, this time we must handle things properly.

"The Ministry of War has been busy for the past two days, and there have been more things with me here." Minister of the Ministry of Industry couldn't help complaining to Jia Zhen. He has been working here for many years. It is actually more troublesome than the Ministry of Punishment, and there are many things. Now the Ministry of Industry is not half divided into Qingshui Yamen, a leisurely scene.Speaking of the culprit, it was those people headed by Jia Zhen. "No, no matter how trivial the affairs of the Ministry of Industry are, I really can't do without them. I'm afraid I'll be busy in the future." Jia Zhen said with a smile. "I'm an old bone, but I can't stand your troubles. I originally planned, but now, I just hope to finish the work at hand early and go home to tease my grandson." Minister of the Ministry of Industry said this sincerely , not adulterated at all, how old is he, if it weren't for the fact that the Ministry of Industry is indispensable for the person in charge, he must be worthy of the Holy Spirit, he would have given up his burden and quit.
