Dai Jinyun came back to see Du He and said worriedly: "Teacher, when I just left Jingzhao Mansion, I saw my uncle was very angry. With his temper, my uncle would probably go to the palace to complain. At that time, if His Majesty takes the blame, what should I do?
good?"
Du He waved his hand: "Father is busy with everything, how can he be in the mood to care about such trivial matters? Don't worry."
Du He was very careful about Li Er's temper.
…
Royal Palace.
Royal study room.
Li Er was sitting behind the table reviewing memorials.
Zhao Yang walked in and whispered: "Your Majesty, Sir Dai, the Minister of Civil Affairs, would like to see you."
Li Er raised his head and said, "Oh, it's Dai Aiqing. Quick, let him in."
Dai Zhou walked in, his face covered with black lines, and he was in a very low mood.
Seeing this, Li Er put down the memorial in his hand and asked curiously: "Dai Qing's family, a few days ago, the national treasury was empty. You have worked hard for the country. It's just that now Du He has brought one million yuan to the national treasury."
, the Ministry of Civil Affairs does not have to worry about running out of money, why are you so worried?"
Dai Zhou stepped forward, saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, it's not one million guan, it's 800,000 guan... Just now, I personally took people to Jingzhao Mansion to transport money. Who knows, Du He got there first.
A million dollars were transported away."
After saying that, Dai Zhou thought Li Er would be furious.
Unexpectedly, Li Er picked up the memorial again and said lightly: "That day in Taiji Hall, Du He did say that there is still a shortage of one million yuan for disaster relief in Chang'an City. It is not only the commercial tax of Jingzhao Mansion, but also Du He's.
It doesn't hurt to give him an extra 200,000 yuan, as long as he doesn't make it public..."
Dai Zhou was stunned.
He knew that Li Er was protecting Du He.
If those people in the court knew that Du He had extra money of 200,000 yuan, I am afraid that the memorial to impeach Du He would fly into the palace like snowflakes again.
"I resign!"
Dai Zhou was very depressed.
…
Chang'an Disaster Relief Temporary Command Center, the most important matter has been resolved.
With money, all disaster relief efforts are carried out in an orderly manner.
Following Du He's instructions, the city management brigade continued to increase their efforts to requisition all construction materials.
A month has passed, and no one in the entire Chang'an City has been able to build a new mansion.
All the grievances have been concentrated, and there is already a situation that seems to be overwhelming.
…
Hou Mansion.
Hou Junji stared at Hou Yi with wide eyes.
Hou Junji said depressedly: "Yi'er, it was you who told my father that after demolishing the Hou Mansion, we could start rebuilding it in three days. Three days and three days, more than a dozen. Three days have almost passed, and there is no movement.
Do you know that everyone in the Hou Mansion is almost in despair?"
Hou Yi consoled him: "Dad, rebuilding the Hou Mansion is not something that can happen overnight. Nowadays, disaster relief in Chang'an City is the top priority, and everything must be done with the overall situation in mind."
Hou Junji said worriedly: "Yi'er, tell me honestly, do you have no money at all? The so-called two hundred thousand yuan is nothing?"
Hou Yi shook his head and said: "Dad, I do have 100,000 guan. This is the money I have earned in Datang Construction Company in the past few years. The remaining 100,000 guan was promised by the teacher. The teacher will never lie...
"
"fraud……"
Hou Junji muttered.
…
Command center.
Hou Yi stood in front of Du He and said helplessly: "Teacher, my father can no longer suppress me. He came to me again this morning and threatened to kill me if the Hou Mansion doesn't start construction within ten days."
Drive him out of the house and sever the relationship between father and son...Teacher, how about I bring some craftsmen over and do some digging first to make my father feel at ease?"
Du He stood up, walked around and said, "Ten days..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Xu Zhiyuan and Wei Shuyu coming hand in hand.
As soon as he saw Du He, Xu Zhiyuan said hurriedly: "Prince-in-law, in recent days, there has been great public dissatisfaction. Many big households can no longer suppress it."
Wei Shuyu said: "Brother Du, forcibly requisition the building materials of the big families so that they can't repair their mansions. It's okay for a short time, but over time, there will definitely be trouble..."
Several people looked worried.
Du He listened and said nothing.
I think back then, when the Guancheng Brigade forcibly requisitioned all the building materials, it was Bai Fengqiu who took the blame, and everyone directed their anger on Bai Fengqiu.
Now that Bai Fengqiu has been demoted out of Chang'an, these big families will naturally transfer their grievances to the Guancheng Brigade.
After a while, Du He raised his head and smiled slightly: "I've almost built up my anger, it's time to take action."
With that said, Du He walked out.
Dai Jinyun asked hurriedly: "Teacher, where are you going?"
Du He didn't even look back: "Go visit Mr. Dai!"
Dai Jinyun's expression changed: "Teacher, you must not do this... My uncle is very angry because the Dai Mansion cannot be rebuilt and because we took away an extra 200,000 yuan in taxes. If you go to see him, nothing good will happen...
…”
But Du He's back has disappeared.
…
Dai Mansion.
main entrance.
The steward of Dai Mansion looked at Du He and said, "Prince Du, I'm sorry, our master is not here."
Du He looked at the housekeeper and asked with a smile: "Did your master tell you to say that?"
"Ah, how did you know..." At this point, the housekeeper suddenly covered his mouth and let the leak slip.
Du He said with a smile: "Go tell Mr. Dai that there may be a few heavy rains in the past few days. Living in a tent may be inconvenient. If he doesn't want everyone in the Dai family to continue to live in tents, I will
A way..."
"Prince Du, please wait a moment!"
When the housekeeper heard this, he ran inside excitedly.
Du He waited for a while, but saw no movement, so he turned around and walked back, muttering: "It seems that I underestimated Master Dai's patience. This guy is quite strong-willed..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, and a hurried voice shouted: "Your Majesty, stay here!"
Du He turned around and saw the housekeeper running up in a hurry.
The butler said out of breath: "Consort, our master has invited you."
When Du He saw this, he said amusedly: "Butler, is Master Dai still angry?"
The housekeeper nodded: "Exactly... The master is very angry. The prince must be more careful later. The master has a bad temper these days. I have been scolded by him several times..."
"It doesn't matter, let me go and see him!"
…
Inside the Dai Mansion.
Next to a tent, under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree.
Dai Zhou was sitting on a chair and suddenly dropped the teacup in his hand to the ground.
"This is unreasonable. I am a dignified minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and a high official of the imperial court. I don't even have a house and can only live in this tent. Isn't it a joke to everyone in the world!"
"It's all the fault of Du He..."
"unacceptable……"
"There is also Jin Yun who is a pickpocket. I really want to expel him from Dai's house and cut him off in two."
Dai Zhou slapped the chair and said angrily.
Dai Zhou and Hou Junji were consistent in their treatment of their nephews, that is, they both wanted to sever ties and dissolve their relationship.
Then I heard Dai Zhou say: "Young man Du He has harmed me. If he dares to appear in front of me, I will kill him with a knife."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a voice from the side: "Master Dai, I'm here, you can chop me to death. If you don't chop me to death today, you are not a man. Come on, chop me to death..."
