The road to becoming a god through the Red Mansions

After Jia Lian said something like this, all the officials of the household department, their eyes lit up, and they patted their thighs to applaud.

As the servant of the household department, Mr. Sun is also older and looks more stable than the others. At this time, he is also smiling: "What you said is feasible, and besides those jobs, there are many other things that can be dealt with." Do it for the refugees. It will be winter in a few months, and the winter clothes for the border soldiers have not yet been made. The Minister of the Ministry of War has blocked our Master Zhao many times, and we were all fooled. But seeing the cold weather It’s too late.”

Several other people also chattered and came up with many ideas: "Qiuwei's examination room has been in disrepair for a long time. During the examination last year, it leaked rain and wind. Many exams got sick because of it, and the trouble was ugly. Now there are With manpower, the left and right materials can also be cut from the nearby mountains, wouldn’t it be cheaper for both?”

"Since we need to cut down trees, why don't we build the road to Dongshan along the way. It was said to be repaired a few years ago, but we haven't been able to find manpower and time."

……

Jia Lian and several adults from the Ministry of Household Affairs discussed for a long time with each other, and Mr. Sun drew up a booklet, which was going to be sent to the palace later, and asked for instructions today.

There are a lot of trivial things that have been backlogged in the six parts, which have not been done in the past, either because it is difficult to find manpower, or because the money is not available, and so on.But now these disaster victims always have to eat, and most of the meals are donated by the wives and grandmas of the noble families. If the court subsidizes a little, it will be very nice.

As for wages, for these disaster victims, it is something that they dare not even think about, and there is no hope at all.In the eyes of the victims, it is a fluke to be able to fill their stomachs when they leave their hometowns and flee famine, and to return to their hometowns after the flood recedes.

Now that I got Sun Shilang's note, I immediately called six officials to start a discussion.

In fact, the emperor was also very troubled. Whenever there was a natural or man-made disaster, there would always be people who would yell at the current innocence and disasters. As the emperor, he would have to write an edict of guilt and review what he did wrong.But the emperor is also very wronged, the whole country belongs to him, doesn't he think about his own country?All the evils done by corrupt officials were finally piled on the emperor, and now a large number of refugees are pouring into the capital, and there are refugees everywhere. Those who don't know think that Dagan is about to perish.

Fortunately, the Crown Princess came forward and raised a lot of rice grain, barely maintaining the rations of the victims in recent months.But that is a drop in the bucket. These victims not only need to eat, but also have a place to live. They also need to receive medical treatment and daily life. They are citizens of the Dagan Kingdom, not beggars.

This kind of begging every day has no backbone at all, and the treasury of the Dagan Kingdom is not a cornucopia, and there are so many things that can't be produced, but now the strategy presented by Sun Shilang is different.

First of all, it is effective. Whether it is building roads and bridges, or cutting down trees to make winter clothes, it is not a difficult way of life. Although it is a bit hard, most of the refugees can get started and do not need any further training. ;

The second is to save money. After all, the princess is quite powerful, and the food raised can still feed the victims for a month. After the work is done, it will naturally be distributed there, and there will be responsible for their meals;

The third is the emperor's personal reasons. He really wanted to repair the Longevity Garden as soon as possible. This Longevity Garden was built by the emperor and dedicated to the present Empress Dowager.Therefore, the Longevity Garden has been rushing to work almost all night, but now due to the flood, the Longevity Garden has naturally stopped working, so it can't be returned to the Queen Mother to repair the yard, isn't it waiting to scold.

It's just that others can wait, but the director of the Tai Hospital said that the queen's body can't wait anymore.Now hiring disaster victims to repair the yard, wouldn't it kill three birds with one stone, firstly, it can catch up with the work, secondly, it will gain a good reputation, and thirdly, it also means praying for the Queen Mother.

Because of this, today, with a big wave of his hand, he told the household department that the cost of the Wanshou Garden will be paid from his own private treasury, and there is no need to use the state treasury.Hearing the words, all the civil and military officials present all shouted long live, praising today's filial piety and loving the people like children.

It's very comfortable to be flattered nowadays, but he didn't continue to ask for the cost of any project. He waved his hand and asked the various departments to go back to deal with the work-for-relief matter. This made the Minister of the Household Department sigh in disappointment.

But for Sun Shilang and Jia Lian who came up with this good idea, they are not stingy now. Sun Shilang can't be promoted now, so he rewarded him with gold, silver and treasures; up.

He has been promoted two grades in two years, those who used to want to see Jia Lian's jokes, now their eyes are red with jealousy, and they want to say some acid words from time to time.Jia Lian didn't care, he felt that he had escaped the vulgar tastes of dandies, and now he was a young man with a lot of pursuit, not to mention that he had to raise a son and a daughter-in-law.

The work-for-relief campaign has been vigorously carried out for several months, until the autumn weather became stronger and the weather turned cold, and these refugees gradually returned to their hometowns.However, there are quite a few people who just stayed here because they found jobs in the capital.

Those refugees who worked were given money from the treasury before they left, and each gave three taels of silver, which was enough for them to survive the cold winter and welcome the arrival of the next spring.

In Rongguo Mansion, Ping'er is dealing with Wang Xifeng, she wants to redeem herself and leave the mansion.

Wang Xifeng couldn't believe it when he heard this.She had always only seen servants who had been kicked out of the mansion, crying and begging to stay, and she had never seen a useful maid who begged to go by herself.

"Ping'er, do you understand? Leaving the mansion is not as good as you imagined. Although you have the status of a servant in this mansion, after all, you have no worries about food and clothing, and it is easy to survive. Even if you When you go out, others will look at you high because of the mansion, and you must know that "the seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate" means not looking at the monk's face but at the Buddha's face."

"But if you go out, what's the use of getting the status of a good citizen? Then Lai Shangrong is still a county magistrate, but Lai and his family are still flattering the old lady in our house every day. It's just relying on his grandmother and parents to maintain this kind of incense and affection."

Wang Xifeng likes Ping'er as a maid very much, she handles it smoothly, and she is easy to handle, and Ping'er who has concealed her appearance is ordinary.There will never be any ambiguity with Jia Lian.Therefore, when Ping'er wanted to leave suddenly, Wang Xifeng felt a little bit reluctant in her heart, so she persuaded her earnestly.

"I know grandma's good intentions. But I still want to go out of the house, and I beg grandma to agree." Ping'er didn't say much. Regarding things like freedom and dignity, we can only communicate after the two parties are equal. of.No matter how much Wang Xifeng valued her now, she was just a servant girl who was needed by her side, and she would not really treat her equally.

Wang Xifeng tried to persuade her a few times, but seeing that she persisted, she stopped trying to persuade her.Ping'er still came out several of the alternate maids on the left and right, all of them were very clever and transparent, except for a few big maids who could take care of themselves, there were also a few small maids, Wang Xifeng was also very satisfied.Among them, Qingwen and Hong'er are Wang Xifeng's favorite, and they are quite useful now.

Yes, this time Ping'er took Qingwen from Nanny Lai and brought her back to Wang Xifeng's yard.Although Qingwen is good-looking, she is only an eight or nine-year-old maid now, and it will take several years before she opens her eyes. No matter how jealous Wang Xifeng is, she will not make things difficult for her.

Another thing is that Qingwen is quick-spoken and capable. Now that she is less than ten years old, she is outstanding in her embroidery work.Wang Xifeng likes this kind of maid the most, it's better to put it in her yard than to fight with Jia Baoyu's sisters and sisters all day long.

Wang Xifeng finally agreed to let Ping'er go. Not only did she not ask for any money for her redemption, but she also generously gave many rewards.Knowing that Ping'er is a young girl, it must be hard for her to live alone, and most of the rewards are gold and silver, and there are very few fancy decorations and cloths.

Before leaving Rongguo Mansion, Ping'er paid for it himself, and invited a few good sisters to eat on weekdays. There were two tables of people.

Although everyone didn't understand Ping'er's choice, they also expressed respect for it and sent gifts one after another.Everyone drank, ate, chatted and made fun of, and they didn't go back until about three o'clock. Ping'er arranged for a few maids to send them to their respective rooms one by one. calm outside.

The Rongguo Mansion in this life is quite different from what Pinger remembered. Jia Amnesty did not give up on himself. Although he was greedy for beauty, he was more interested in coaxing his grandson to play; Went to Jia Yucun as the magistrate, let Mrs. Wang take the post of Rongguo Mansion to take the lawsuit;

Everything is going to a good place. These girls should not wither in such a beautiful age anymore.

Before dawn on the second day, Ping'er had already packed up. She first came to Wang Xifeng's door.The couple were still asleep, Ping'er didn't disturb anyone, she only pretended to kowtow three times, then got up and left. Of course her best maid told Wang Xifeng one by one.

Afterwards, several clever women came forward and helped Ping'er take the things she had accumulated in Rongguo Mansion for many years, and the group quietly left Rongguo Mansion through the back door.

"Thank you, ladies, I worked so hard this morning for me. These purses are embroidered by me on weekdays. If you don't dislike them, you can take them back and give them to the children at home to play with." On the carriage waiting at the door, Ping'er smiled and took out several exquisite purses, and handed them out to the helping women one by one.

These rough envoys, who don't see any good things on weekdays, all accepted them with great gratitude.After they all left, Ping'er let out a sigh of relief, got into the carriage and left Ningrong Street straight away.
