Datang: God-level son-in-law, salted fish will become stronger

As soon as the postman entered the palace, he asked the officials of the household department to go back to the household department to collect the accounts.

Dai Zhou went forward and saluted and said, "Return to Your Majesty, I have already checked. Datang has already developed agriculture rapidly, and the grain reserves in the eight prefectures near the disaster-stricken states are enough for disaster relief."

"Just this..."

"It's just that there is really not much money in the treasury. The Military Academy and the Martial Arts Academy have invested a lot of money."

"Although a lot of commercial taxes have been collected this year, there is still a shortfall of 100 million taels for disaster relief."

The words fall.

All civil and military officials were silent.

One million taels of silver, this is not a small number.

Li Er paced towards the hall, frowning tightly.

He didn't expect that he would be short of nearly one million taels of silver.

I saw some rich money just now, and now I took it all in.

at this time.

Qin Mu opened his mouth slowly, and murmured, "If there is a shortage of relief money, take it from the Mangya Bank."

"The power should be borrowed from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Let's solve the flood first."

yesterday.

Qin Mu sent the bearded guest out to find out all the Hu merchants who had an affair with Li Juncai.

If he wanted to charge some interest from these Hu merchants, Li Er probably wouldn't bother with him.

"Hehe..." Li Erxi raised his eyebrows, "If that's the case, the money issue will be handled by Mangya Bank."

Immediately afterwards, Li Er looked at Dai Zhou.

"Dai Zhou, you can just send someone to Mangya Bank to get the money, and give Mangya Bank an IOU. When the treasury has enough money, just pay it back together."

heard.

Dai Zhou saluted and said: "It's Your Majesty, I will order people to go."

Originally, he wanted to tell Li Er.

In addition to the little money in the treasury, there are also many IOUs, all of which are owed to Mangya Bank.

But he saw that Li Er was having a hard time recently, and the money would not be repaid in a while, so he didn't bother to add trouble to Li Er.

in the temple.

Li Er glanced at Changsun Chong and the others, and pondered, "You four boys should follow Qin Mu and the crown prince this time."

"The right is to teach the four of you a lesson."

The words fall.

The four of them hurried forward and saluted, "It's Your Majesty, this humble minister takes orders."

Li Renfa had already cleaned up, and Li Er didn't bother to argue with the four of them.

Furthermore.

If Li Juncai was really guilty, even if the four of them went to investigate the case, they would not be punished.

Li Er waved his hand, "Okay, let's come here this morning."

"Qin Mu and Cheng Qian dispatched troops immediately, and they must eliminate the flood in the shortest possible time."

The two stepped forward to salute.

"Leadership."

"My son leads the order."

Down in the morning.

Riding a fast horse out of Chang'an City, one after another government orders were passed on to the three affected areas.

Qin Mu also notified Qian Duoduo.

Let the Mangya branch in Sanzhou assist the local governments in disaster relief as quickly as possible.

The bearded guest and the Jin Yiwei had also set off ahead of schedule.

Investigate and collect evidence of corrupt officials.

Every catastrophe is bound to be accompanied by man-made disasters, and Qin Mu wants them to pay the price.

Chapter 668: Disaster Area (4/5)

The next day.

Chang'an City.

Under the leadership of Qin Mu and Li Chengqian, all the Zhenwu Army and Xuanjia Army were dispatched.

People's soldiers are like this.

Go into battle to kill the enemy and defend the country.

Rescue disasters and save the common people when they are quiet.

Qin Mu and his party hurried on, abandoning all luggage and supplies.

Now, Mangya Trading Company has opened all over the state roads of Datang, and the rescue supplies have already arrived in the disaster area one step ahead of them.

This year, Li Chengqian is 14 years old. Under Qin Mu's teaching, he is proficient in all aspects of literature and martial arts.

It was no longer the teenager who broke his leg while riding a horse.

Now, he was able to ride his horse beside Qin Mu without losing the wind.

Li Chengqian has been with Qin Mu for four years, so it is not surprising that he has achieved this level.

This time, apart from Chang'an Four Young Masters, Chen Pingan and Wang Fangyi were accompanying the army.

After Wuju Enke.

Chen Pingan went to Zhenwu Army as a captain, Wang Fangyi went to Xuanjia Army as a captain, Tang Xiujing went to the Ministry of War, and the rest were distributed among the various armies.

They are all the hottest figures in the various armies.

But worth mentioning.

The disaster relief team in the south of the Yangtze River this time did not have a single veteran, and the oldest among them might be Changsun Chong.

Such a young team is truly unprecedented.

For this disaster relief, Qin Mu transferred Chen Pingan and Wang Fangyi to Li Chengqian's side as guards to protect his safety.

By the way, enhance the relationship between them.

The two of them will surely become Li Chengqian's right-hand men in the future.

In the palace, Li Er was not idle either.

He said to civil and military officials in the early court: "If I am not virtuous, the emperor will send disaster."

It is because he has not cultivated his virtue recently that disasters come from the heavens, and because he is blind and treacherous, the yin and yang are confused and the rain is abnormal.

In order to make up for his mistakes, Li Er decided to fast for half a year.

During the period when the son-in-law and the prince Jiangnan were helping the disaster, all civil and military officials were ordered to talk about their gains and losses, rectify the officialdom, and set the record straight.

at the same time.

Qin Mu led the two armies and was rushing on the official road to the south of the Yangtze River.

Due to the rainy season.

The official roads in many places are muddy and difficult.

"His Royal Highness, your disaster relief this time is also considered a private visit, go back and talk to your majesty, let's repair the official roads in various places."

"This official path is too difficult."

Cheng Chumo followed Li Chengqian and suggested with a big grin.

Li Chengqian said with a smile: "What General Cheng said is true, but you are not unaware of the situation of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The people's livelihood in various places has already exhausted the treasury. This official road... can only be delayed."

"That's right." Cheng Chumo nodded, "The household department is indeed not very rich. It would be much more convenient if the official roads were paved with blue bricks."

"Pave green bricks?" Yuchi Baolin exclaimed: "Old Cheng, are you really stupid or fake? The common people don't even have enough bricks to build houses! You use them to pave roads? Why don't they all be dug up?" .”

What Yuchi Baolin said was correct.

Rough words are not rough.

If you use blue bricks to pave the road, let's not talk about the cost, cost, maintenance...

Just this throw, that can't stand it.

Li Chengqian responded: "General Yuchi's words are very true, so the construction of official roads is difficult and long."

Several people were talking.

Qin Mu didn't talk to him.

However, this incident reminded him that if possible, it would be good for him to get out the asphalt and undertake the construction of the official road of the Tang Dynasty.

As we all know, engineering is the most profitable.

After going back to this matter, I can really study it.

The premise is that the treasury is rich.

Qin Mu did the math, and this time, Li Er already owed him nearly 400 million taels of silver.

This money can no longer be owed like this.

After returning, when Li Er is rich, he has to settle the bill.

"Hehe..." Cheng Chumo smirked, "I think things are too simple."

......

Fifteen days later.

Qin Mu has led the rescue team to the border of Jiangnan Road.

After arriving.

Qin Mu asked Li Chengqian to take command and lead the people to the hardest-hit areas to rescue and provide disaster relief, repair river embankments, and help the people.

Subsequently.

Qin Mu and Xue Rengui plunged into the victims.

There are three things to come here for disaster relief this time, one is to save the people, the other is to rescue emergencies, and the third is to eliminate evil.

If you follow the big team.

They will not be able to see the true appearance of the disaster.

but.

This time the flood was far more serious than they had imagined, and not only the eight states were involved.

Qin Mu and Xue Rengui rode horses in the outskirts of Yuezhou.

Hunger is everywhere, floods are thousands of miles away, people are in dire straits...

Teams of government soldiers, having no time to take care of the victims in the past, pushed the flatbed trucks full of corpses to the side of the cremation fire and burned them on the spot.

The flood is terrible, and if there is a plague after the flood, it will be even more terrible.

In the face of natural disasters, human life is often as insignificant as worthless.

"Master, this flood is far more serious than we imagined."

"Look at the disaster victims, it's endless."

Xue Rengui looked at the pyre of burning corpses on the side, and at the victims on both sides of the road, with downcast eyes.

"Yes." Qin Mu couldn't help but sigh, "The area affected by the disaster is far more serious than we imagined."
