1248. Chapter 1248 Wrestling with the Emperor 【02】
Wen Songzhi took Shen Mingtang and Mo Ruhui and chatted behind their backs.
After they finished speaking, they laughed loudly, and their kind laughter made Cuizhuyuan even more lively.
Cuizhuyuan mobilized almost all the literate girls and borrowed some accountants from Fei Yunhai. It took them more than ten days to sort out all the accounts.
Fortunately, there were not as many people as before, and they only came in twos and threes. There were only dozens of people in a day, and Shen Mingtang, Mo Ruhui and others could accommodate them.
At this time, the government offices in the capital were also in dire straits. More and more victims were crowding into the vicinity of the capital. They all came from a long way. They could have stayed in nearby cities, but they took a detour to the capital.
The imperial court organized a special disaster relief team, and they went to investigate. The victims all insisted that the capital was a prosperous land at the feet of the emperor, and they would definitely have enough to eat when they came.
However, the cities they passed through were not very prosperous. If they all stayed, they would soon be unable to afford food, so they headed straight for the capital.
Everyone had that idea, and as a result, the capital city was surrounded by victims.
Originally, the emperor scolded Zheng Haichao and asked him to solve the problem, but the results became more and more frequent. Zheng Haichao was worried that his hair would turn gray to no avail.
The emperor called him a waste, and then established a disaster relief department under the leadership of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Hubu was worried to his heart's content at this moment. It was like a sudden disaster. The originally good life was disrupted by these disaster victims who appeared out of thin air.
If it doesn't work out, they will follow Zheng Haichao and get out.
All of them had sad faces, and those who went to court had their heads drooped. They just prayed that the emperor would be in a better mood and not notice them, so that they could survive this morning and go back to the Yamen.
Who knows whether the emperor will lie to them or not, and unlike in the past, he was still annoyed by waiting for the ministers to jump out and say that the ministers had plans to report. Today, he took the initiative and directly asked the Ministry of Household Affairs.
"What kind of regulations did you come up with!"
The Minister of Household Affairs was immediately trembling with fear. He was about to step out with his right foot but hesitated, hesitantly, and looked at Shen Can with his eyes.
Although there are so many nobles in the capital, if those uncles and marquises do not have a good current position, those titles will be empty, and they will just receive a little salary every year.
It's still the boss who has the real power.
The number of years that Shen Can could serve as prime minister and the fact that he remained standing through so many great events fully demonstrated his excellence and the degree to which he was trusted by the emperor.
Therefore, the Minister of Hube immediately looked at him for help.
Shen Can also knew it, but he kept his eyes down and said nothing. This matter was so strange that he was also puzzled.
Besides, with such a big incident happening in the Shen family, these people made a lot of sarcastic remarks while watching the excitement.
Hum, help, he wants to see the fun.
Shen Can was thinking in his heart but remained silent.
The Minister of Household Affairs was almost dying of anxiety. It was only March and it was cool and refreshing. He was already sweating profusely. He glared at Shen Can and muttered silently, Prime Minister Shen, Ancestor Shen, it was me who was wrong before. Isn't it okay?
From now on, I will definitely serve you like a cow or a horse, and I will definitely listen to you in everything.
Shen Can seemed to hear his thoughts, just as the Minister of Tobe stepped forward...
