Chapter 272 Even if it’s difficult, it must be done
"Yang Hao?"
Zhao Kuangyin had almost forgotten him recently, but he had heard of this name again yesterday. It was said that Yang Hao was now devoting his whole life to making a fortune. He had a partnership with the son of a wealthy Shandong gentry to start a business with a thousand pieces of gold. Yixiaolou invited an acquaintance of the poet monk from the Western Regions to perform some tricks rarely seen in the Central Plains, which made the people fascinated. Many ladies and ladies from wealthy families came in groups to watch, and the news spread to The palace is coming.
He was worried about food at the time, and because the matter was of great importance, he did not dare to publicize it to avoid disturbing the public sentiment, so he did not mention a word to the people in the harem. When he was full of depression, he heard his daughter happily asking the palace maid about this matter. He even wanted to trick her elder brother into taking her out of the palace incognito to learn more about the matter. He was so angry that he even scolded his daughter and cried. Unexpectedly, she heard his name again before the court today.
Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly asked: "Yang Hao? What can this person do?"
Zhao Pu then told Yang Hao about transporting grain and transporting people. Zhao Kuangyin didn't know that Yang Hao used to transport food, but he thought of his ingenuity in bringing 50,000 people out of Han safely with only 3,000 soldiers. Things can't help but move my heart.
Zhao Guangyi saw that this problem was going to hit him in Kaifeng Mansion. He really shot himself in the foot. He quickly stepped forward and said: "The officials, I thought, Yang Hao transported grain from Bazhou to Guangzhou." It turned out that the relief was only grain and grass for one side of the city, which was needed by tens of thousands of people. Compared with Kaifeng water transportation, it was a world of difference. As for the move of relocating people from the Han Dynasty, although it was a fantastic idea, there was no difference between relocating people and transporting grain. It would be too far-fetched to conclude that this person is useful based on the similarities."
Zhao Pu immediately said: "In the official family, one method can be used and all methods can be mastered. What I mean is that this person can face the crisis, think what others dare not think, do what others dare not do, be creative, and constantly have clever plans. So Kaifeng When it comes to running out of food, we might as well let him give it a try. Now that the court has no other options, what's the harm in letting him give it a try?"
Zhao Guangyi immediately retorted: "The three envoys are responsible for water transportation. The issue of Kaifeng's food shortage is of great importance. Only you and I, a few important officials in the court, heard about it. Now I have ordered the 16th grade to enter the court to participate in politics, and I have asked you to inquire in the south." If the government officials are in trouble and the small officials are in trouble, will there be no one left in the Song Dynasty? It’s simply a joke.”
Zhao Pu said without being humble or arrogant: "The ruler is short, the inch is long, the wisdom is unclear, and the spirit is unclear. It is inevitable that important ministers in the court are not good at it, and ordinary petty officials or villagers in the mountains and fields may not be good at it either." He cannot have any special skills. As a prime minister, he is the leader of hundreds of officials. It is his duty to appoint talents and talents. If the official is small, Pu was originally just a secretary in the army. In terms of official position, he is not as good as Yang Hao today. Respect..."
"Mr. Zhao's words are wrong. I think..."
"Shut up, everyone!"
"Your Majesty!" Seeing Zhao Kuangyin's anger, the quarrelsome Er Zhao and several ministers who were watching the excitement all bent down, and the title was changed to the most formal honorific.
"You, you, you," Zhao Kuangyin pointed at them angrily and yelled: "So many of the pillars of the court have no ideas. When a disaster comes, they will only blame each other, the three secretaries, the Privy Council, the Zhongshu Province, and Nanya Kaifeng If all the ministers and ministers in the government are gathered together, they will just imitate the scoundrels in the market and quarrel and quarrel?"
"Your Majesty, please calm down and I will admit my guilt!"
"This matter is due to the Third Secretary, and the Third Secretary should be responsible!"
As soon as Zhao Kuangyin said this, the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Chu Zhaofu didn't care about offending Zhao Kuangyin. He knelt down with a "卟嗵" and opened his throat. Just as he was about to complain, Zhao Kuangyin said again: "It's about Kaifeng."
Millions of people, Nanya should also give their full support."
Zhao Guangyi opened his mouth and saw his elder brother glare at him and continued: "Zhao Pu is my prime minister. The matter of millions of my people is the most important event in the court. Zhao Pu must also fully cooperate with this matter. Also, Zhao Guangyi opened his mouth.
Li Chongju, the Forbidden Army is full of pot-bellied men who can eat food. There are not so many wars now, and Chengdu cannot just sit there and eat nothing. You must be ready and ready for orders at any time. If the army needs to be dispatched, it must be dispatched immediately without any delay.
.The food shortage in Bianliang this time is a tough battle. It is the most difficult battle I have fought. All yamen must work together to overcome the difficulties."
When the ministers heard this, they said: "Well, the official said that we were trying to blame each other, but he was lucky enough to tie us all together and not one of us escaped."
Zhao Kuangyin had finished scolding him, flicked the sleeves of his dragon robe, and shouted sternly: "Retreat! Chu Zhaofu, Zhao Guangyi stays!"
"I wonder if Lord Fu Yin has summoned my subordinates to inquire about anything?" Yang Hao's eyes turned a little red when he saw Zhao Guangyi.
Yang Hao's gift was met with the smell of alcohol. Zhao Guangyi now relies more and more on Yang Hao and has already thought of taking him as his own. Zhao Guangyi has always been generous to the people he likes, so he also
He didn't blame him too much, but said gently and honestly: "As for the Kaifeng fire prevention matter, you did a good job. I heard that you opened a building with a partner, and you socialized a lot more, and sometimes drank.
It’s inevitable, but it’s not advisable to drink too much when you’re on official business.”
"Yes, is it just for this matter that Mr. Fu Yin summoned the official? If there is nothing else, the official will retire. There are still important things to be done in the office."
Zhao Guangyi still didn't know that he had allowed Tang Weihu to pretend to be a tiger, and put a big blame on his head. As soon as Yang Hao saw him, he remembered the picture of Zhao Guangyi's erotic palace "Xiling Xing Xiaozhou Empress Picture". Zhao Guangyi wore a futou on his head and had a dark face.
She had a fat body and a huge instrument under her crotch, lying on Xiao Zhou Hou's body. Xiao Zhou Hou's delicate body was held by several palace maids, and she could not bear it with her hands and forehead. The Xiao Zhou Hou who had never met her in her mind suddenly became
The appearance of Tang Yanyan.
At that time, the master often did not avoid the maidservants in the inner room. Not only did he ask them to serve in the same room, but he also sometimes joined in for fun. This ancient style was not something he was ashamed of. Yang Hao, as an ordinary modern person, could not accept it in any way.
With this concept, when he thinks about Yanyan being ravaged by him, he becomes extremely angry. When he imagines that he wants a palace maid and a eunuch to serve him, it is simply an act of prostitution in public, and he becomes even more furious. Therefore, he does not need to go through this
When the emperor reviewed the case, the Yin of Nanya Prefecture, who held the power of life and death, became disrespectful in his tone.
Zhao Guangyi couldn't help frowning when he heard his tone, but he only thought it was Yang Hao's misconduct after drinking, so he didn't blame him and just said: "Let's put aside any important matter. Now there is a more important matter.
It concerns the common people of the country, so you must listen carefully."
Zhao Kuangyin angrily rebuked the court and put this burden on all officials, but after all, no specific measures for transporting grain were proposed at that time. As soon as the court dispersed, Zhao Kuangyin and Chu Zhaofu were left behind, and Chu Zhaofu was scolded first.
, let out a sigh of relief, and then ordered Zhao Guangyi to summon Yang Hao immediately after returning to the Yamen and ask him to come up with a solution.
Although Zhao Kuangyin did not immediately agree with Zhao Pu's opinion in court, he was so sick that he sought medical treatment. Now he could only hope that Yang Hao would be able to find a solution.
Zhao Guangyi did not dare to prevaricate the emperor's brother anymore, so he had to agree and immediately summoned Yang Hao after returning to the Yamen. After hearing what he said, Yang Hao immediately woke up half drunk, and even put aside his jealousy towards his love rival for the time being: "
What? There is so little food stored in Kaifeng?"
Zhao Guangyi spread his hands helplessly and said: "Originally, the capital of a country should have enough food for at least three years. However, the court has used too much food in recent years. Food is needed for marches and wars. Food is needed to provide relief to the victims of the Yellow River breach. It is necessary to conquer Shu.
After the border, in order to appease the people, a large amount of grain was shipped, so the grain in the government treasury was somewhat insufficient to provide relief.
When Luo Gongming was here, he carefully planned to keep Kaifeng's grain reserves at least for half a year. He originally wanted to take a break to recuperate after conquering the Han Dynasty, and then stock up on a large scale. Unexpectedly, Luo Gongming because of this
He went home to reflect on his corruption case, and then he was directly demoted to the local government. The junior officials of the Third Chief of Staff only focused on their own trivial matters, and no one pointed out the rough guy Chu Zhaofu, which resulted in the current situation."
Yang Hao was stunned for a long time and said: "It's hard to save manpower. There are so many important ministers in the court who can't do anything. How can Yang Hao be so virtuous? There is nothing he can do if he is a lower-ranking official."
"I also know that there is nothing you can do." Zhao Guangyi comforted him considerately: "This is simply a dead end game that cannot be solved. In my opinion, if the officials do not disband most of the forbidden troops, Bianliang City will starve to death.
No matter where there are floods or droughts in the world, whether there are thousands of miles of red land or swampy foreign countries, there is no such thing as the people in the capital starving to death. If such a scene occurs, it will simply be a sign of national destruction.
It's hard to say. In the end, the government can only withdraw its troops, disarm, evacuate residents, and rush to transport food. This may reduce the food shortage disaster to a minimum. But since the government has thought of you, you must find some way to submit it. Just say, "
There is no other way. Is this the way to be an official?"
Yang Hao said numbly: "There is really nothing I can do about lowering my official position."
When had Zhao Guangyi ever spoken to such a nice person? When he saw Yang Hao still looking like he was desperate, his heart gradually became angry, and he said angrily: "There is no other way, but I have to work hard and write a detailed statement."
Come up with the table."
He turned around and took out a thick stack of files of different sizes, slapped it in front of Yang Hao, and shouted: "Take it!"
Yang Hao was stunned and said: "What?"
Zhao Guangyi said angrily: "The officials want to see you in person and give you two days. This is all detailed information about water transportation, river courses, river construction conditions, the amount of grain and grass that can be transported every day in the past, and the daily rice consumption of Kaifeng's population.
Food, the areas where food and grass can be collected, and the various methods that the ministers of the court have come up with can be used by Sasuke to think about it. You have to do your homework to avoid losing the face of our Nanya in front of the officials."
Yang Hao silently held up the information, and Zhao Guangyi said again: "There will be another court meeting the day after tomorrow, and I will take you to the palace at that time. Remember, this matter is of great importance and must not be leaked. Once the news spreads to the people, it will cause a stir in the national public affairs.
Prices are skyrocketing, everyone is panicking and grabbing food, and people's hearts are floating. Even if you have ten heads, it won't be enough."
"Anyway, I can't help it. Whoever can do it wants to go! Two days later, the original thing will be returned!" Yang Hao thought, then turned around and left with a dull reply.
Looking at his back, Zhao Guangyi felt angry and amused, and couldn't help but said to himself: "This stupid young man, I didn't expect that he would be even more stupid when he was drunk. Even this government doesn't take him seriously."
"Sir, Feiyu is sending a message! Feiyu is sending a message!" Bisu ran in quickly.
Miaomiao's hands, which were turning the abacus with her delicate fingers, stopped, and her ears suddenly stood up. From Yang Hao's constant drunken talk that night, she heard that it was related to Miss Tang, and this Miss Tang was
The unmarried wife Yang Hao mentioned will be the future mistress of the Yang family. How could she not care?
"What, bring it quickly!" Yang Hao was looking at the pile of clueless water transport information on the case in a daze. When he heard this, he rushed forward, grabbed the secret letter from Bisu's hand, and waved Bisu away.
He couldn't wait to open the letter.
When I unfolded it, I found that it was wrapped in a letter. The outer one was written by Bo Fan Siqi, the Lord of Luzhou. The letter mentioned that everything in Luling was going well now. The new magistrate Zhang Jizu only wanted to have no faults but not meritorious deeds, and adopted the strategy of governing by doing nothing.
, and there was no conflict with them. He also mentioned that the Tuoba Qiang people and the Tubo people were fighting more and more fiercely, and they no longer had time to take care of Luzhou, so he could rest assured.
At the end of the letter, it was mentioned that Tang Yanyan suddenly left and returned to the Tang family. Soon there was news that she was going to marry a powerful man in Kaifeng, but it was unknown who she was going to be. Before leaving, Tang Yanyan asked her
A trusted maid sent a letter to Mu Cen.
Yang Hao saw that his name was written on the letter, so he didn't open it, so he opened it and read it carefully. After reading the letter, Yang Hao's face suddenly changed. Miao Miao fiddled with the abacus beads uneasily, and saw
His expression suddenly became tense.
"Hahahaha..." Yang Hao tore the letter into pieces and threw it forward. Miaomiao quickly walked over and said, "Master, you... what's wrong with you?"
"Okay, she has no choice but to live up to the kindness of the king. Haha, I am still worried here. It turns out that she has already gone on her own!" Yang Hao was filled with sadness and anger. He was not a young man in love. He had a relationship with senior Mo Yan in his previous life.
After a relationship that ended without a problem, and in this life, he experienced Luo Donger's life and death parting and Zhe Ziyu's angry departure. He should have been able to deal with it calmly, but he couldn't do it because Tang Yanyan betrayed their relationship.
This relationship!
These ladies from wealthy families are indeed sensible and wise enough. Once the moment comes when their interests are at stake, their first priority will never be their illusory feelings! It's so funny. I want to abandon my career and wander around with her.
Tianya, just like Dong'er's parents, keeps her name hidden and avoids the countryside. Who knows, she has already climbed to another high level. Yes, princess, prince, probably every woman has such a dream, haha
…
"master……"
Yang Hao breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low tone: "Miaomiao, go buy some side dishes and have a few drinks with me, okay?"
"Huh? Oh!" Miaomiao glanced at him worriedly, quickly agreed, and hurried out with her skirt in hand.
Yang Hao held up the wine glass and murmured to himself: "Men are not things, and women...are not things either!" He raised his head and drank another glass of wine.
"Huh? Don't you want me to drink anymore?" Yang Hao glanced at her: "Aren't you afraid that I will bully you if I drink too much?"
Miaomiao blushed and said: "Old... Master..."
Yang Hao suddenly put down his wine glass and slowly leaned towards her: "If... Master, I really want you, will you be willing?"
Miaomiao's face was as red as blood. She held the mat with both hands and slid her hips back: "Master, you... you... you drank too much..."
Yang Hao's face was full of drunkenness, but his eyes were getting hotter and hotter. He was like a big bad wolf pounced on the little lamb, persistently asking: "Do you want to do it?"
Miao Miao was sprayed on her face by his breath, her hands softened, and she collapsed on the smooth bamboo mat. She responded in a soft voice: "Slave... I am willing." After saying this, she closed her eyes tightly.
I closed my eyes tightly and felt that my face was so hot that I could fry an egg...
Suddenly, she trembled and felt Yang Hao's palm gently caressing her delicate and smooth pink cheeks.
"You are willing, yes, you are willing..." Miaomiao closed her eyes, and her whole body tensed up nervously. She did not see the sarcastic smile in Yang Hao's eyes, but waited with fear and expectation for what was coming.
moment.
"You are willing, Duo'er, Wawa, Xiaorao and the others are also willing, haha... Men seek promotion through their talents, and women seek promotion through their own abilities. As long as I nod my head, some of them are willing to serve me with their delicate bodies.
Beauty, why should I feel sad for her? Why should I feel sad for her? Do you think so?"
Miaomiao suddenly felt a chill on her cheeks, as if a few drops of rain had fallen. She opened her eyes in surprise and saw that Yang Hao had burst into tears at some point.
"Master!" Miaomiao quickly slid out on the mat, turned over and sat up, wanting to wipe away his tears, but she didn't dare.
Yang Hao turned around, grabbed a bottle of wine, and stood up unsteadily.
"Master, where are you going?"
"Master, I'm worried, so I went out for a walk." Yang Hao walked to the door, suddenly stopped, and said without looking back: "Miaomiao, you are still young. Although you have seen many things in the brothel, you still haven't
Understand, cherish what you have and don’t give it away to others easily..." He raised the pot and took a deep sip of wine, then stumbled towards the outside.
Miaomiao looked at his lonely back, and her heart felt sore and painful for some reason. Yes, she was still young, more than thirteen years old, and it was early February, but she came from Quanzhou, where there were many girls.
At the age of thirteen, she was already standing in the wild mulberry field nursing a child. She was not young, she was already sensible.
Unknowingly, Yang Hao became the green child in her heart, the first-born cardamom in her heart. However, he only regarded himself as a child, looking at her affection, her promise, her love again and again.
The oath, when... will the master look at her squarely and treat her as a daughter?
Unknowingly, the trace of infatuation in her eyes was drowned by her tears...
On a summer evening, the sky was full of colorful clouds, and the cicadas were chattering tirelessly among the branches and leaves. Yang Hao walked alone in the forest garden, taking a sip of wine from time to time. When he reached the depths of the forest, he was already drunk and hazy, not knowing what was going on between heaven and earth.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a delicate and sweet voice saying: "This little brother, you are so lonely and lonely, why do you use wine to relieve your sorrow?"
Yang Hao opened his drunken eyes and looked into the forest, and saw a person standing under the tree, Pingping Tingting, like a reserved deer, the sky and water in her dress were so beautiful that it was shocking...
