Chapter 1600 Six Days Later

The fourth prince came back and said it was a big deal or a small deal. Except for the eldest prince and the third prince, several other emperor brothers and brothers all went to the Shili Pavilion outside the city to greet him.

The snow still did not stop, but it was a little smaller than before, but the wind was even stronger. The floating snow was rolled up and then threw it back, and it was like the snow was getting heavier and heavier.

The world is in a daze, as if there is no dividing line.

There was no one under the ten-mile long pavilion. The snow on the ceiling was nearly a foot thick. No one dared to go in and admire the carved beams and painted buildings, for fear that the snow would collapse the roof and smash themselves into it and turn them into pies.

Several princes were huddled in the carriage, and the roof had accumulated about an inch of snow, and the ruts behind the carriage were no longer visible.

After waiting for two quarters of an hour, the princes' convoy was covered so that they could not see the color.

In addition to performing brotherly and respectfulness in front of his father and mother, the princes have never been "unity and friendship" as they are today. Eight princes squeezed into two carriages, drinking tea and snacks around the charcoal stove.

It's cold, and it's still warm when people are crowded together.

The second, fifth and sixth princes were in a carriage, and they were discussing how much jade the fourth prince could bring back.

The seventies, eighties and nineties are competing with each other in another carriage, who is closer to the fourth prince, because they think that the fourth prince will naturally bring back the Wosma. At that time, they must make friends with the fourth prince.

, get one.

A guard came to report that he saw the Fourth Prince's convoy. Several princes immediately jumped out of the warm carriage, wrapped their fur hoods tightly, and then adjusted their expressions of excitement, joy and expectation.

The convoy was very long, and each carriage was covered with tightly and thick snow was accumulated on it. The fourth prince and Hu Hengqiu were walking in front of him.

The fourth prince turned his head slightly and whispered to remind Zheng Chunqiu, who was wrong half of the horse: "Sit up straight! Look at what you look like!"

The howling wind and horse hooves covered the fourth prince's voice. Zheng Chunqiu only saw the fourth prince turning back and talking to him, and he couldn't help but lean over and ask loudly: "Your Highness, what did you say?"

The fourth prince glared fiercely and said again: "Sit up straight! Look at what you look like!"

Zheng Chunqiu's mouth surrounded by the scarf could not help but squeeze.

What does it look like? The eyelids are almost frozen, and the tears stimulated by the cold wind keep sticking the frost on the upper eyelashes to the lower eyelashes, so the eyes can't open!

The worn sheepskin scarf covered most of her face, but it was frozen. She just curled her lips and let the frozen snot rub her mouth against the scarf.

Just like that, he felt the wind burrowing his neck. At this time, Zheng Chunqiu shrank his neck and bowed his back, wishing he could make himself a lump.

The fourth prince was so angry that he threw off the whip, pulled out an empty sound, and then turned his head to Zheng Chunqiu and ordered: "Someone is picking him up in front, you can hold him to me!"

Zheng Chunqiu barely sat upright.

He knew what the Fourth Prince meant, and saw someone greeting him in front of him. The Fourth Prince had to demand his prince's dignity.

But Zheng Chunqiu had countless complaints in his heart - you want your dignity, what do you care about me? I don’t want dignity, so do I have dignity?

Don’t say I don’t have it, the dignity of the Fourth Prince can not last for a few quarters of an hour? If someone lifts up the tart cloth on the carriage and sees that it is not jade, will your face fall to the ground?

Those tightly covered carriages were indeed stones, rocks, and jade.

There are grain bags stacked on the top, which looks tall and rewarding on the carriage board.

Yes, the national team must be a little decent.

"The fourth brother!"

"Fourth Brother!"

"Fourth Prince!"

The brothers' voices came, and the cold wind made them feel a little distracted.

The fourth prince's face was almost frozen, but he tried hard to shake the muscles on his face, trying to fill his excitement.

Fourth Prince: "Second brother, fifth brother and sixth brother... you are all here! It's so cold, you guys shouldn't come out, your mother should be worried!"

The second prince's eyes passed by the fourth prince and kept glanced into the car behind.

I heard that a few years ago, Linyang Hou and his friends got back a large jade of 10,000 kilograms, and the former Minister of Works, Old Man Huang, sat on the stone and came back with a car.

The scene was rumored at that time, saying that it was a car of stones, scattered with dust, but everyone was watching like a mountain of gold.

The second prince couldn't help asking: "The fourth brother, the stones are not afraid of the cold, what are you doing when covering them?"

After thinking about it, I felt that this question was not good. I seemed to be staring at other people's achievements and didn't care about my brothers, so I added: "This year's sudden cold is probably not warmer than Worth. You should sit in the carriage.

Inside, there are so many oil cloths and felts that cover the carriage, so you can keep warm. Why don’t you take good care of yourself when you go out?"

Who doesn't know how to shelter from the carriage? If it weren't for the need to enter the city, the Fourth Prince would have to save face, otherwise he wouldn't be able to ride a horse.

He would not show his face. Zheng Chunqiu was shameless, but he was a prince and had to hold on and pretend.

Now, my face was so fanned by the cold wind... that I won't move anymore!

I didn't feel the snot flowing out, and crystal snot flowers formed on my beard.

"Fourth brother, get on my carriage and warm it up!" The second prince invited me warmly.

Zheng Chunqiu had already dismounted and greeted the princes, but no one paid attention to him.

Now seeing the fourth prince getting on the second prince's carriage and the other princes also returned to the carriage, Zheng Chunqiu breathed a sigh of relief and ran to the rear and got into the carriage - whatever he liked, it would be warm for a while!

Damn! Why is the sky so cold? It makes him think he hasn't come back in Voss!

Two hours later.

Fortunately, I roasted it in the carriage for a while, otherwise Zheng Chunqiu might have been frozen to death by now.

At this moment, the fourth prince was kneeling in the imperial study room, and Zheng Chunqiu was kneeling at the gate outside the imperial study room, kneeling in the snow and ice.

The emperor, who had already heard the report from the Fourth Prince, had a more cloudy face than the sky outside, and his breathing sounded even more whirling than the cold wind outside.

He was so angry that he didn't know what to say!

In a year, I brought back less than 3,000 kilograms of jade? So many cars are loaded with rocks?

After working on it for a long time, it was all about face-saving projects!

The things that can be brought back in three carriages, and after getting back in more than 30 cars, those who don’t know the inside story can think how capable the Fourth Prince is!

The eunuch who had heard the message came back and reported that the fourth prince brought more than 30 cars into the city with snow and wind on the wind, which moved the emperor very much.

I felt that this fourth son had only arrived back now, and he must have been delaying the New Year just like Chu Qing, just to scrape the ground, so that the emperor would be too distressed and happy.

Now it's time to use money, and the emperor is thinking about how to make money.

Although all officials were called on to donate money and food together, disaster relief can be said to be a bottomless pit.

The disaster has affected a wide range of areas and caused great harm. By raising funds, it can only relieve the rush for a while, but it can't stand it for long.

The resettlement of victims, post-disaster reconstruction, road dam construction and other projects are all going to be carried out. It is better to be cold in the north and warmer in the south. However, with such a big flood, so many people and animals will probably cause a plague.

Grain and grain in various places will suffer from varying degrees of loss. In the beginning of the next spring, tax exemptions will be required to be exempted from severely affected areas. For moderate and mildly affected areas, taxes will be reduced as appropriate.

Agriculture is the main source of taxation for Daxuan. In this way, the Daxuan treasury will be in a "sagging" state for at least three years.

The emperor originally wanted to put jade into the market and gather the money from the wealthy families in the Daxuan period, but look at this "prosperous" son!

"Bang!" A crystal clear glass, along with half a cup of milk inside, hit the edge of the fourth prince's knees, and the warm milk splashed his robe.
