Chapter 153 Accident (1)
"I'm going to see the emperor!"
"I'm sorry, I'll give you a seat!"
Zhu Yunxi finally finished the breakfast in front of him, waved his hand, and asked the eunuch to bring a stool for Li Jinglong and Xie Jin.
Poor Zhu Gaochi, a bowl of meat porridge was just cold and was about to eat a few bites, but the eunuch next to him reached out and snatched the bowl directly. He could only smack his lips and lick his lips.
Since he sat here, he had never eaten anything except the initial burning of his mouth.
"Xin Yande has a memorial, Huaibei floods..." Zhu Yunxiu was speaking when he suddenly realized that Li Jinglong's posture was very awkward, as if one leg was out of control, and said, "What's wrong with your leg?"
Li Jinglong first rubbed his knees, then stood up in panic, "Your Majesty, I am worried about the floods in Huaibei recently that you can't sleep or eat at night and forget to eat day and night. Therefore, I... I am also a little anxious!"
As he said that, his voice felt a little sad, "After all, my hometown is from Sizhou, and Sizhou was affected by disaster...but I am a foolish and useless person. The emperor does not know how to serve the emperor, and the subordinates do not know how to appease the people, so I can only do it in a hurry!"
"When I think of the emperor tossing and turning every night for the Sizhou flood, I feel even more nervous and depressed. I was walking at home last night while thinking about the emperor's difficulties. I accidentally stepped on the empty steps and sprained my ankle!"
Xie Jin next to him, his butt was hanging in the air and could not sit down for a long time. He was already stupid when he looked at Li Jinglong who was talking nonstop.
"You fuck... so fuck... so fuck..."
The most talented man in the Ming Dynasty, at this moment, there is no word to describe the shock in his heart except for the two words "fuck".
"It's you! You, Li Jinglong, are really good at making trouble. Your knees are uncomfortable, and they are just causing trouble to worry about the country and the people? Fortunately, you are uncomfortable with your knees. If your waist falls off, you can't say you're tired?"
Zhu Yunxi looked at Li Jinglong and said softly, "It's rare that you have this kind of worry about the country and the people, sit down!"
"Thank you, the emperor!" Li Jinglong bowed to thank him, then sat down with Xie Jin's shoulder, grinned and gasped.
And after sitting down, one of the legs stretched out straight, as if it wouldn't bend back, and it would take a lot of legs.
"You are suffering from knees, not disabled?" Xie Jin looked at Li Jinglong and said in his heart.
"Two things!" Zhu Yunxiu always spoke concisely and straight to the point, "Xin Yande gave me a memorial. The flood in Huaibei is far more serious than the memorial being reported!"
The ministers in the palace stopped talking.
Everyone understands this principle. Local officials always avoid the important and say less, because if you can say too much, it will make you incompetent.
"There are rough calculations outside Huaian City, there are 80,000 victims!" Zhu Yunxiu glanced at everyone and continued, "The 300,000 stones of grain prepared by the Ministry of Revenue is a drop in the bucket, so I promised Xin Yande to open the Huaian military warehouse to release grain!"
"Emperor!" Xu Huizu stood up and said, "Huai'an's military warehouse is to give military rations to the towns in Liaodong! Now that we have moved, we will have to wait for autumn rations if we allocate them. There will be half a year left, and the towns... Once the soldiers go hungry, they may worry about mutiny!"
Zhu Yunxiu was silent for a moment and opened his mouth and said, "Each town imitated the capital's rules, and used silver as military pay, and the soldiers bought it themselves."
Xu Huizu did not think, "Emperor, the capital camp is because it is stationed in the capital and there is no shortage of silver and money. But where did the towns get so much cash... It has always been made with rice..."
"The court has never taken a slight amount of the military farming income of each town and garrison office over the years!" Zhu Yunqiu said without hesitation, "Will the soldiers go hungry after waiting for a few months? Even if the money is not enough, the Songjiang cotton cloth can be allocated to pay so that the soldiers can buy it on the spot. Besides, what I am talking about is not the border army, but the local garrison office. Is it that the annual surplus of the local garrison office recorded in your Five Army Governor's Office empty? There are also military warehouses in Henan and Shandong, where grain is stored in millions of stones. Can I watch the soldiers go hungry?"
Cotton is equivalent to silver, and is both hard currency of this era.
The Ming Dynasty has always been rich in raising soldiers, and no one will treat those soldiers who are fighting badly if they are unlucky. Moreover, as far as Zhu Yunyu knows, the rice and grain numbers on the books of the Northern Guard can completely prevent the soldiers under his command from having food for a year.
Of course, unless someone secretly fills his pockets and makes a random payment...
The emperor's tone suddenly became stern, and everyone was a little confused and dared not touch it.
But some people have guessed the emperor's true intentions.
"First, I transferred my confidant to take office as the chief general, and then took advantage of the excuse of not being in a hurry to transport grain and rice from Huaibei floods for a while, and checked the stored grain of each ward. So, the holes in these years have been clear!" Zhu Gaochi said in his heart, "Good methods and calculations, one after another!"
"And once the warehouses in Shandong and Henan are supplied to the northern guards, the deficits in these two places will never be hidden. In this way, the borers in the army will have nowhere to hide, and they will inevitably appear. Hug the grass and beat the rabbits, it's so high!"
"And these borers are not dealt with by the court. The commander generals he appointed can directly use military laws! At that time, all the troops in the world will be the emperor's disciples. Wonderful, high! In this way, whoever dares to violate the situation in the world will dare to violate the situation. Whether it is the governor's office or the Ministry of War, they will become decorations, and the generals from all over the world will be directly responsible to the emperor. The soldiers in the world will be driven by the arm."
"At the same time, you can also completely strip the vassal kings and guards from all over the country! This new king finally showed his fangs!"
Others may be able to think of something, but they will never think from this perspective. Zhu Gaochi can be said to have received education from the emperor's mind from behind privately. He sees deeper and longer-term than others.
"The flood in Huaibei is important!" Zhu Yunxiu said again, looking at everyone, and finally his eyes fell on Li Jinglong, "But the use of military warehouses is of great importance. Xin Yande, a civil servant, dare not be good at it, because he was afraid that he would not be able to explain clearly after moving. Therefore, the court needs to send someone and a military official..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Jing raised his head and said, "I am willing to go! Work with the Censor Xin to open a military warehouse to release relief."
He wanted to go to Huai'an now. It was obvious that there was a political storm in the capital, and the fool stayed in the capital. Such storm, not to mention being in it, could not even watch the fun, and it was easy to be caught in it at a glance.
At the same time, he also understood that the emperor actually wanted him to go. Anyone who went there was not, anybody could go there. The reason why he got it on the table was that it was a kind of protection for him.
"Sizhou is originally a place where I am a hometown. This time, Sizhou is affected by disaster. I am also anxious! I am not talented and I am willing to go to Huai'an and do my best to serve Sizhou and the people of Huaibei!" Li Jinglong said again.
Zhu Yunxiu looked at him for a long time, "Well, I'm still safe when you do things!"
"You...you are not so good to your uncle and cousins!"
Zhu Gaochi heard it clearly and said in his heart, "I'm afraid that Li Jinglong would get involved, so he specially transferred him to an errand. If it were the Zhu family, he would have the emperor who would have fallen deeper and deeper, right?"
"Whether the old man or the emperor, it's really... His surname is Li Jinglong, but he is not Zhu. Even though he was thinking about Princess Cao, the kindness of the princess, and the achievements of Li Wenzhong, he had already given him enough! But the two of them treated him as relatives!"
Zhu Gaochi silently said in his heart, "The heart is crooked and the butt is crooked. If his family doesn't believe it, relatives who are inseparable are treated as treasures!"
At this time, Li Jinglong continued, "After I went to Huai'an, whenever I passed the military rations, I must check the accounts and record the number of records in the book. How much is released, and when the Ministry of Revenue replenishes, I will make up for it, so that there will be no deficit at all!"
"You are not only going to Huai'an!" Zhu Yun's eyes looked over, and Li Jinglong's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Zhu Yunxi continued, "You have to inspect the entire Huaixi military warehouse. After the flood in Huaixi has come to an end, gradually stabilize, go up the way to inspect the military warehouse in Baoding, Shandong, Central Plains, and the food and farming in various places!"
