Chapter 323 The meat in the tiger’s mouth

In this way, the people in Kaiyuan have benefited and benefited. Who do you remember in your heart? You must remember His Highness, and the people in the northwest also got food and seeds. Even if the disaster year has passed, otherwise it will be winter in less than half a month. It will be heavy snowfall in the sky, and the people have no place to live, and they will not be frozen to death by the roadside.

His Highness can think about the people and the people, but the King of Jin cannot do this step. He still wants to cut into his pocket. He is afraid that one of the 20% of the money he mentioned will be in his own pocket.

It's really disgusting! It's disgusting! It's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes than to be an official without making decisions for the people.

"Your Highness's money is easy to divide, but whether it is 320% or 50%, my Highness means that at least more than 90% will fall into the hands of the victims and the people."

"This year of disaster in the northwest, the court has issued some relief silver before. The relief silver is almost hundreds of thousands of taels, not a small amount. But today, the officials saw the Taiyuan scene. There were countless people starving to death on the roadside along the way. I am afraid that the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver did not fall into the mouths of the people."

"At that time, the court could not come to arrest this matter. After all, the court had just been stable. If he had kept holding on to these trivial matters at that time, he would be afraid that it would be counterproductive, so the superiors would turn a blind eye."

"If all the three million taels of silver were used on the people, it would solve a lot of problems for Shanxi. This year, the people will not starve to death after eating, but what about the next year? Is it always necessary to buy seeds?"

"After the people have seeds planted in the fields, even if the people's livelihood in Shanxi is ready, it will be completely recovered in less than two or three years. But if half of the three million taels are digged out, only one and a half million taels will be left in the mouths of the people in a province, how many mouths can they have? Not to mention buying seeds."

The King of Jin did not have such high moral integrity or noble spirit. He heard Ye Biqing's words, but he thought he was dissatisfied with his own highness, or he was not satisfied with the price himself. He was also an official and wanted to make some money, which is understandable.

King Jin made four fingers.

"Four and six points, this is the biggest concession for our Shanxi officials. As for the people of Shanxi Province, please rest assured. As long as this winter is over, everything will be fine. In the coming year, our Shanxi government will preside over the course of the people and distribute seeds to the people! We will definitely not drag down the court again."

Ye Biqing sighed: "Your Highness King Jin, the officials also know that it is difficult for Your Highness. Your Highness is nothing more than trying to continue to be firmly in Taiyuan. Your Highness just wants to tie the officials of the whole province to him, for fear that someone will divide the power in your highness, right?"

When the King of Jin heard this, he panicked first, then calmed down, and warned with fierce eyes: "Slandering the Prince is a serious crime. Even if you are the official of the Jinyiwei, if I want to go to the emperor to sue the emperor, you will not be able to escape!"

Ye Biqing sneered and said that this dog man was greedy, but he still warned himself so childishly that he really didn't know how to live or die.

"Your Highness King Jin, I heard from my highness that the emperor now has to do a lot of things, build the Great Wall, and go to the West to the treasure fleet. Your Highness is also the King of Seizure. You should also know that the tribes outside the pass are getting more and more restless. In the future, the emperor will inevitably lead the imperial commander and fight with these herdsmen tribes outside the pass to the death."

"No of the three things that the officials knew were cost-effective. Your Highness knows how determined the emperor had to allocate three million taels to provide disaster relief to Shanxi! You are simply snatching meat from the tiger's mouth!"

"If Your Highness wants to sue the lower-ranking official, the lower-ranking official will probably not escape, and will inevitably be dismissed, and may even be exiled. But Your Highness, don't forget what your Highness said to the lower-ranking official just now!"

To be honest, the King of Jin was dissatisfied with the King of Yan usurping the throne, but now he is the emperor, and he also understands that he is no match for the Fourth Uncle at all.

Now people have to bow their heads under the eaves. If everything said by Ye is true, then this is really a snatching meat from the tiger's mouth. The tiger has given you the meat. If you don't eat it well, it's your problem. The tiger will get angry.

But King Jin is a prince after all, and if he wants to suffer such an unknown loss, he will never do it.

"Mr. Ye is right, but what Lord Ye said just now, I remember every sentence in my heart. I also want to ask Master Ye a question. Why does His Highness, the uncle of King Han, have to transport grain from the northeast to the northwest to sell it? That is my uncle's vassal territory. With so much grain, I bought it with silver. Those grain merchants have made a fortune and will not secretly respect my uncle secretly?"

"Buns are not eaten by one person. This plate of big buns always has to be eaten by others, so that everyone can keep silent and expose this matter quietly. When my uncle 20th uncle did this, he asked you to eat this plate of buns. Of course, others are dissatisfied, but they are afraid that there will be endless troubles."

Ye Biqing looked at His Highness King Jin and smiled: "What is your highness saying? Although my highness is also greedy for money, there is a saying that wealth is good. This is what my highness is."

"Take what should be taken, and don't take what should not be taken. My Highness's move is also for the sake of the people of Shaanxi and Shanxi. If the people live a stable life, can the officials of the two places not live a stable life?"

"In short, if Your Highness is willing to let grain merchants from Henan and Shandong account for 5 and grain merchants from Northeast China account for 5, then we will have no problem. Just wait for the grain merchants to arrive, and we will open the warehouse and release the grain immediately."

"If Your Highness disagrees, it will take some time before the grain merchants can arrive. Your Highness will go back first and wait. Think about it carefully. The lower-ranking official was very tired all the way, so he would not disturb him much, so he said goodbye."

After Ye Biqing said that, she got up and left. The viscera of King Jin was almost twisted together, but it was reversed! It was really reversed. This woman was really extraordinary. No wonder she could be confused by Uncle Twenty.

After leaving the restaurant, Ye Biqing directly asked someone to rent a small courtyard that was large nearby. All the money was hidden in the courtyard, with three floors inside and three floors outside the courtyard, and eight thousand imperial troops were protected by the Jinyiwei on the outside of Taiyuan Prefecture.

The eight thousand imperial troops were led by Chen Zheng, and the military power was in Chen Zheng's hands. What Ye Biqing could mobilize was that His Highness later allocated fifty people to him, a total of one hundred Jinyiwei.
