My Favorite Manly Husband

Chapter 82 Disaster Relief

Shen Yanbei never thought that he had just had a good time not long ago, and it won't be long before he will have a good time again.Just the way the scenery is done is slightly different.The last time the number one scholar paraded through the streets, he used his strength to fight for it, but this time...

Well, he was labeled as a celebrity around the emperor.

The Imperial Academy compiled it as a sixth-rank official. Even if the Beijing official is slightly higher than the local official, it is still too low. Since ancient times, there has been no imperial envoy with such a low official position.But who is Zhao Yu? He has already turned Gu Changfeng, who should inherit the title of marquis, into the son of Duke Zhenguo. It is not difficult to turn Shen Yanbei, who is from the sixth rank, into an imperial envoy.

So Shen Yanbei was promoted.All of a sudden, he changed from a sixth-rank Hanlin editor to a fifth-rank Hanlin bachelor.

Although it seems that the official position has only been raised by one level, the speed of promotion is unprecedented. After all, Shen Yanbei has only been in the Imperial Academy for a few months!Moreover, the Hanlin Academy is a place where qualifications are boiled down, and it is not easy for Hanlin officials to be promoted every time. Because the number of officials in the Hanlin Academy is fixed, there must be vacancies in front of them, so that they can climb up step by step.

According to the general rules of promotion, Shen Yanbei will have his first opportunity for promotion after one year. From the sixth-rank editor to the sixth-rank minister, if he wants to become a Hanlin bachelor, someone in front of him needs to make room. two to three years.It is conceivable that Shen Yanbei's jump directly dumped others for three years. Who would believe it if he wasn't the emperor's celebrity?

Of course, everyone dared not believe it, but it was one thing to believe it, but another to be dissatisfied.Those six-rank attendants and attendants who had been waiting for several years stared at the position of a bachelor, but Shen Yanbei took it as soon as he came, why?

Which one who can enter the Hanlin Academy is not a person whose belly is full of ink?And our qualifications are deeper than his!

As a result, there were voices of opposition in the DPRK and China, especially the old prime minister who always believed that young people should be down-to-earth and not too ambitious.

In the face of everyone's doubts, Zhao Yu coldly reprimanded: "What I want is talents who can contribute to the country and the people, not nerds who can only write and write. No matter how well written an article is, it is better to come up with an article that can make people's grains better." Feng Deng's method."

"Shen Xiuzhuan cares about the common people, and came up with a way to increase grain production, so that the common people in the south can enjoy a good harvest. Therefore, I specially promoted him to be a Hanlin scholar as a reward."

Standing up, Zhao Yu glanced coldly at all the ministers in the audience, Zhao Yu said indifferently, "If all the lovers also have such a wonderful idea in their hearts, tell them quickly, I will definitely reward you."

Everyone was shocked. It turned out that Zhuangyuan Lang had come up with the idea of ​​harvesting rice in the south!No one dared to object.

The servant received Zhao Yu's signal, and ordered Shen Yanbei to read the imperial edict in public.

Everyone suddenly realized that this was the real purpose of the emperor!He couldn't help turning his eyes to the young man kneeling in the Golden Luan Hall.The handsome young man held the imperial decree in his hand, and his face was indifferent, showing no joy at all.Only this concentration is enough to make people admire.

Is Shen Yanbei really as calm as he appears?That is impossible!

The ministers standing on the left and right, their official uniforms are either embroidered with cranes, golden pheasants, peacocks, or lions, tigers and leopards. The lowest visual inspection is that they are all fourth-rank officials.His daughter-in-law is the son of Lord Zhen Guo, who will inherit the position of Lord Zhen Guo in the future. Lord Zhen Guo is a first-class Duke, and he will definitely stand in the forefront when going to court. If he wants to go to court with his wife, it means that he must be qualified to go to court. The fourth-rank officials of the dynasty!

It took five years for the current prime minister to be promoted from the head of the Hanlin Academy of the fifth rank to the fourth rank minister who is eligible to enter the Wenyuan Pavilion to pay homage to the prime minister!

After such a calculation, Shen Yanbei was dumbfounded.

Don't you just want to go to court with your wife?It's so difficult?

The cruelty of reality makes people cry. Shen Yanbei, who has never been too ambitious, finally sees his situation clearly - your daughter-in-law has run ahead, and you can't even get in the door!

Gritting his teeth in his heart, Shen Yanbei, who set foot in the Golden Luan Hall for the first time, smiled slightly as the ministers stared at him with unknown meaning.

What is the promotion?In addition to qualifications, the most important thing is performance!Oh, it seems that there is still a relationship?

All right, he can run for performance, but don't use it for building relationships, he has Daqi's most useful nepotism!

After the court disbanded, the default rule was that the highest official left first, and Shen Yanbei, the youngest official, waited quietly with the imperial decree in hand until all the ministers in the court had left before leaving.But the prime minister turned a corner and walked up to him.

"Your Excellency." Shen Yanbei cupped his hands in a gesture.

The prime minister was born in a poor family, and he can understand the feelings of the common people who have worked hard for a year to reap a good harvest. He was surprised that Shen Yanbei could try to help the common people increase their income.Because of this, he changed his mind about Shen Yanbei, but he still felt that the young man in front of him was too impetuous, so he lowered his status and said a few words: "During the trip to Minzhou, remember to save the people from fire and water, and don't associate with greed, hatred and ignorance. .”

Shen Yanbei expressed humility to be taught: "Yes, I will keep this in mind."

Seeing Shen Yanbei like this, the prime minister felt that Ruzi could still be taught, so he nodded and left.The rest of the ministers dispersed when the Prime Minister left, but Zhang Youzheng, who was deliberately walking behind, said meaningfully when he passed by him: "The earthquake in Minzhou, landslides and ground cracks, the roads are difficult to walk, Mr. Shen must be careful in everything during this trip!"

Hearing the deep meaning in his words, Shen Yanbei smiled: "Thank you, Sir, for your reminder." He was suddenly promoted, and everyone would stare at him closely. Naturally, he would be rewarded if he did a good job. If he didn't do well, these people would have There is more to say.

Zhang You was stroking his beard, feeling very satisfied.He is a person who cherishes talents. When he first saw Shen Yanbei's article, he felt that this young man had a lot of potential. Unfortunately, the young man kept himself clean and did not send invitations to anyone. But it doesn't matter.

The waiter who was waiting at the side stepped forward and said: "Lord Shen, the emperor has a favor."

When Shen Yanbei went to the imperial study room, he saw Zhao Yu standing with his hands behind his back. Seeing him coming, he just said a word of excuse and asked someone to give him a seat.

"This earthquake disaster is serious, how to deal with the aftermath, can Shen Qing deal with it?" The time since the founding of Daqi was still short, and he had never experienced such a severe earthquake, although Zhao Yu ordered Shen Yanbei to escort the imperial envoy for disaster relief Money, but still want to test his handling of troubles.

"People are displaced and need to build temporary resettlement sites. The elderly, weak, women, children, and disabled provide herbal medicine, food, clothing, etc. It is inevitable that the refugees will rob them, and they can work for relief, and organize young and strong people to rest in their houses and rebuild their homes..." In modern times Shen Yanbei once experienced a major earthquake in a certain place. At that time, the whole country was mobilized. Food, daily necessities and medicines were delivered to the disaster area as quickly as possible, and enthusiastic people from all walks of life sent warmth.But the ancient conditions were backward, and he hadn't been to the scene yet, so he didn't know the situation at the scene, so he could only give a rough idea.

After thinking for a while, he added: "After a catastrophe, there must be a catastrophe. It is necessary to do a good job of disease prevention and deal with the corpses in time to prevent the hot weather from becoming diseased."

Zhao Yu frowned, and said: "I ordered the imperial hospital to call eight imperial physicians to go with you, and I will give you a handbook to mobilize food and medicine from nearby counties and counties. You can do as you see fit."

Shen Yanbei flattered him sincerely: "The emperor is wise."

Without further ado, Shen Yanbei entrusted Su Qingze to take care of the decoration of the restaurant and explain the things in the field. After tidying up briefly, he went to Liuyang County by water under the escort of the imperial army the next day.

After Shen Yanbei left, everyone knew that this scholar Shen was well-educated, not only good at writing articles, but also good at farming, he was really an outlier among literati.

According to Shen Yanbei, there is nothing wrong with farming. If his wife is here, it would be even better to farm the land with her and return home!It's a pity that the daughter-in-law is thousands of miles away, and this meeting should also go to the border.

Shen Yanbei sighed, packed up his mood and went to see King Jinyang.He only met King Jinyang once, and the last time the old lady of the Su family had her [-]th birthday, King Jinyang and his wife came to the meeting uninvited.

Thinking that this person had planned on his daughter-in-law, Shen Yanbei felt uncomfortable.I don't know if the Princess Jinyang and her younger brother, who also made him feel uncomfortable, caused trouble for King Jinyang.

Outside the city of Minzhou, the King of Jinyang led the governor of Liuyang and the magistrate of Minzhou to greet him: "Master Shen, you have worked hard all the way!"

The Jinyang King in front of him looked tired, and it seemed that the disaster in Minzhou made him very worried.Shen Yanbei turned over and got off the horse with a smile: "No hard work, no hard work!"

"Master Shen came from a long way, and the journey was tiring. This king should hold a banquet to welcome Mr. Shen, but right now..." King Jinyang looked puzzled, "Don't blame Mr. Shen!"

Shen Yanbei said it's okay, let people put the disaster money into the warehouse temporarily, and told the imperial army to keep the money in prison, don't let others rob and rob, so he went to the inner city with King Jinyang and others to inspect.

The situation in the city was similar to what was described in the Jinyang King's Memorial. Countless houses collapsed, and many people were killed or injured. When patrolling all the way, the mournful cries almost drowned out the ears.

Some refugees even saw people like Shen Yanbei in official uniforms, crawling over to kneel on the ground and kowtowed violently, begging for treatment for his relatives.The judge of the accompanying imperial hospital showed his identity and asked the refugee to take him to see the wounded.A group of people dragged the court judge and cried, demanding to see their seriously injured relatives first.

"Nonsense!" King Jinyang scolded, and asked the yamen servant to pull the court judge out.The judge was stripped until his pants almost fell off, and looked at Shen Yanbei with lingering fear.

"There are many wounded in the city. I wonder if the prince has set up a temporary hospital?"

King Jinyang looked helpless: "After the earthquake, a doctor was arranged for treatment, but the medicine was limited and ran out at once. The herbal medicine borrowed by the king from nearby counties is still on the way."

Shen Yanbei said: "The emperor ordered me to bring the imperial physician and a batch of medicines here, Lord Lao asked someone to notify, and ordered people in the family who need medical treatment to come and register, the elderly and children are given priority."

The king of Jinyang was overjoyed, and asked someone to make arrangements.

It was already noon, and there was a yamen servant serving porridge in the porridge shed. Shen Yanbei went over to take a look, and found that the clear soup of the porridge had bottomed out, and the rice could not be seen when he took a spoonful of it.

The King of Jinyang sighed: "On the second day after the earthquake, the King ordered people to open warehouses to store grain and set up a shed for porridge. Now the grain is almost used up. Fortunately, Mr. Shen came in time."

Shen Yanbei did not change his face, but silently counted the numbers in his heart.He traveled day and night from Yongjing City, and it took less than [-] days. At this time, it was no more than one and a half months before the earthquake. In the past two years, the weather has been smooth, the grain harvest has been bumper, and every household has surplus grain. The granaries in Minzhou and nearby counties are all Fengshi, so much food is eaten up?This is not porridge, but three meals a day plus supper and a meal of rice?

With doubts in his heart, Shen Yanbei observed more carefully when he continued to walk forward.

"You bastard just left our mother and son three like this, how do you want us to live..." A young woman with a disheveled face and hands full of dirt lay on a dead body and wept bitterly.

Shen Yanbei's forward steps paused, hesitating and walking over.

The victim whose back was facing Shen Yanbei seemed to have been dug out from under the rubble, and his face was so dusty that he couldn't see clearly.Shen Yanbei's eyes stayed on the victim's hand for a while, and then he went to look at the crying woman, frowning tightly,

Seeing this, King Jinyang stepped forward and said: "This king has ordered that the burial expenses of all those who died will be borne by the government. Lord Shen, don't worry."

Shen Yanbei looked serious: "The weather is hot, and epidemics will inevitably break out. The corpses of humans and animals need to be disposed of as soon as possible. They can be disinfected with quicklime in one place before being buried deep."

King Jinyang turned his head and told the county guard and others to do it.Seeing that the sun was scorching and it was past the time for eating, King Jinyang invited Shen Yanbei to have dinner.Suddenly a servant came over in a hurry and whispered a few words to King Jinyang. King Jinyang's complexion changed, a stern look flashed in his eyes, and he said apologetically to Shen Yanbei: "Princess fainted suddenly, this king Go back and have a look." As he spoke, his eyes fell on the sheriff, and he let the sheriff accompany him.

Lord Zhou, the governor of the county, hurriedly responded, and said to Shen Yanbei: "Please, Lord Shen."

Shen Yanbei smiled and went down to eat accompanied by several people.On the way, he met many family members of the victims who were crying and fighting for the ground. Shen Yanbei had a look of compassion on his face, but he scolded King Jinyang bloody in his heart, and even played him as a fool!
