Chapter 1029, Hezhou embankment construction silver (1)
That day, Grandma Ye led a group of servants carrying gifts to the General's Mansion in front of everyone. Those who were interested noticed that Grandma Ye did not leave the General's Mansion after delivering the supplements.
As Mrs. An expected, many people in the capital were staring at the movements in General Qi's mansion.
After hearing Grandma Ye's action, no matter what everyone thought, it was true that there were no rumors of chaos.
The days seemed to have calmed down again. The courtiers were going to court and performing their duties, and the people were taking care of themselves, eating, drinking, sleeping.
In the blink of an eye, everyone's attention turned to the trial that was about to begin.
As the time drew near, all the candidates from various places who were due to enter the capital had already arrived. Even Daliang also rushed back to the capital a few days before the examination.
Speaking of this, I have to mention the last general examination. Da Ling originally wanted to participate in the last general examination, but was stopped by Lu Qinghe.
Lu Qinghe persuaded Da Ling like this at that time: "Your Qi family's power has risen too much and too fast in recent years. Although the focus is on Prince Xian, Prince Xian still represents your entire Qi family."
"Your father already holds an army of hundreds of thousands. Looking at the army that seems to be guarding the border, it is much smaller than the threat to the capital. But there is a huge difference between the number of hundreds of thousands and the tens of thousands.
went."
"Prince Xian alone holds a large army and also holds great power. To put it bluntly, it is fortunate that there is no prince now. Otherwise, for someone like Prince Xian, the emperor would not tolerate her if she did not become a lonely minister."
she."
"But having said that, Prince Xian is different. No one dares to touch her just by herself. And because she is here, as long as Qijia doesn't get up too quickly and dazzle people's eyes, she will be your Qijia.
The sea-fixing needle."
The words went around in a circle, vaguely boasting about this and beating that, but in the end they only meant one thing, that is, Qi Kang'an already had a large number of soldiers, and Qi Bao'er had just held a large number of soldiers and also had a lot of power. At this time,
, it would be really eye-catching if Da Liang took another exam and officially entered the court as an official who was listed on the examination list.
Qi Kang'an was too far away to harm him, and Qi Bao'er was too strong to be harmed. Wouldn't it be that Da Ling, who had just entered the court as an official, was the best target to attack?
It can be said that Lu Qinghe was able to say these words because he really cared about Da Lian and treated him as a student.
Da Ling was not the kind of person who waits and doesn't know what is good. After listening to Lu Qinghe's words, he thought about it for a moment and realized that he did not participate in the test two years ago.
It has been two years now. One of the main reasons at that time was that Qi Bao'er had not yet fully grasped the Ministry of War and the Shadowless Army. Now, although I cannot say absolutely that both of them are under Qi Bao'er's control, at least they have.
It’s no longer difficult than it was two years ago.
Daliang didn't need his sister to protect him in court. What he wanted was that if someone tried to attack him and he failed to guard against it, his sister would not be implicated because of him.
He didn't have this confidence before, but recently several things happened in Beijing related to the General's Mansion, which made him sure of this.
For example, his third brother had a fight with the chief censor, but in the end the chief censor resigned and returned home in defeat;
Another example is the matter between the third brother and his sister. For a woman, even a girl who comes from a first-class official's house will be criticized by others if she encounters such a thing. But he has already returned to the capital.
A few days ago, I usually went out to teahouses and bookstores to communicate with the disciples, but I didn't hear any rumors about this matter.
In fact, the higher up people are, the more practical they are. It can be said that there are very few truly immoral people who don’t know what to say. They have their own set of rules for behavior and survival. What should be said and what should not be said has been cultivated since childhood.
It's as if the level has been set early, and it has become an instinct.
Not to mention that Handkerchief will tell everything in private and then spread it. How many people at this level really care about Handkerchief?
Take what Lu Qinghe said to Da Li as an example. He really felt deeply in his heart. But the premise is that although these words he said were very disrespectful, he could still be confident that these words reached the emperor's ears.
The emperor will not punish him.
Also, he had a similar purpose to An Ruhai, wanting to make good friends with Qi Baoer. While showing off his attitude, he also gave Qi Baoer a weakness in disguise.
I've gone too far, come back.
San Lang, who is already twenty-two years old and has been working as a clerk in the Ministry of Household Affairs for more than two years, no longer looks as young and immature as he once did. His whole person seems to have settled down and only remains stable.
However, in Qi Baoer's view, he is developing more and more in the direction of a dean.
"Brother, you are so young, don't keep a straight face all day long. You are not handsome to begin with. If you keep your face dark all day like this, how can any girl look at you?"
Qi Baoer's tone must be as disgusting as possible.
Dali, who was stepping into the study: "......???"
This is so good, who offended his sister again?
He glared at her angrily, "Who has suffered from you today? You are taking your anger out on your elder brother again."
Qi Baoer was not embarrassed at all by being exposed. He put down the pen in his hand and took out a folder with a cover color that was obviously different from the other memorials and threw it away.
"You'll know just by taking a look."
Daliang opened it and immediately smiled, "Why did the local magistrate come to you to ask for silver to repair the river?"
This is a memorial submitted by the magistrate of a county under Hezhou. The key content is:
——The river in their county along the county had problems a few years ago, and they had already submitted a complaint to the court. The court responded that they would issue 200,000 taels of silver to repair the river. But now almost two years have passed, and they
The county didn't even see a penny, let alone two hundred thousand taels of silver.
The magistrate asked the magistrate several times, but the magistrate pushed him back on the grounds that the money from the household department had not arrived. Local officials were not allowed to overstep their ranks, so the magistrate had no choice but to endure it and could only go to the magistrate from time to time to inquire.
However, this summer, Hezhou was unlucky and the rainy season lasted longer, causing problems with river channels in many places. The same goes for this county in the upper part of the country, with several river channels breached.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, the area outside the breached area was not a place where people lived. The county magistrate also organized the people along the river to evacuate to the highlands first as a precaution when the rainy season came.
His life was not seriously threatened.
But the county magistrate is afraid that if the river is not repaired, the people on both sides of the river will surely suffer when the rainy season comes next year.
I don’t know how the magistrate found the connection, but his memorial was not considered a leap in rank, but was borrowed from the memorial sent by the garrison general to the Ministry of War.
The smile on Dali's face grew wider and wider, but that smile made people feel uneasy no matter what.
"If I remember correctly, the money for river construction in Hezhou was allocated two years ago, and it amounted to three million taels."
