Help reopen the escort agency

Yue Su has his own plan. There is a mixed bag of people in Beijing. It is difficult to find out the details of any case by just pointing at the officers of Shuntian Prefecture. When he was a policeman in his previous life, he worked as an undercover agent and knew the inside story. He knew many secret cases.

, we cannot rely solely on the police, but must also be assisted by informants and others.

If he helps Li Zhong and others reopen the Escort Agency, these people will undoubtedly be his help. Some difficult cases require overt and covert investigation. With the help of these people, it will be twice the result with half the effort. Moreover, the advantage of opening an Escort Agency is that it is a one-time investment, and in the future,

This group of people can be self-sufficient and don't need to worry about it. Li Zhong is an extremely loyal person, and he will definitely have no problem asking them for help in the future after accepting this favor from him.

Li Zhong, Jin Chan and others were all stunned when they heard that Yue Su said that he wanted to help open the escort agency. Who didn't know that their master was as clear as water and as bright as a mirror, let alone asking him to take 10,000 taels of silver?

Even a thousand taels is difficult.

Yue Su saw the different looks in everyone's eyes and said with a smile: "Li Haoran, didn't you tell everyone about the emperor's reward today?"

Only then did Li Haoran react and said hurriedly: "The emperor is very happy today. Not only did he reward us, but he also personally rewarded our family with twenty thousand taels of silver." This was because Li Haoran had a strict mouth, and Yue Su did not tell him to say it.

He usually won't talk nonsense to others.

Yue Su smiled and nodded, and said: "Now the 20,000 taels of silver have been sent to the mansion. Li Zhong, I am cautious about being an errand in Shuntian Mansion. I don't know if your brothers are used to it. If you are willing to continue to open an escort agency, I am here.

I will give you ten thousand taels of silver tomorrow."

"Sir, my lord..." Li Zhong was stunned and speechless now. He really didn't expect Yue Su to be so generous. He quickly moved his seat and knelt down on the ground, "My lord, you are so kind and kind. I can't thank you enough. I am here."

On behalf of my brothers, I kowtow to you."

Finish, "Bang", "Bang" and "Bang" three times in a row. They are all men from the green forest. Joining the government and being restrained by the court is really a helpless move. Some of them want to do the business of robbing families and homes.

They were all persuaded by Li Zhong and asked everyone to follow him and Yue Su. Also relying on Yue Qingtian's now famous reputation, Xiao Xiaoxiao around the capital was frightened, and the big guys felt that there was some future, so they reluctantly agreed. Otherwise, they would rather die.

I won’t interact with the six doors.

Yue Su hurriedly went over to help Li Zhong up and said: "We are all brothers, so there is no need to be so polite. If you continue to run the escort agency, I may have trouble with your brothers in the future."

"My lord, there is something wrong. Just give me your order. We and our brothers will go through fire and water without hesitation." Li Zhong was a man who was quick to spit out his words. During the period of following Yue Su, Yue Su had already tasted it. Otherwise, he would not have given up.

I won't trust him easily.

At that moment, Yue Su simply asked Li Zhong to invite all his brothers to his house, and then asked Jin Chan and Tie Qiu to go out and buy some more food and wine, and start the feast again.

Li Zhong was not ambiguous, and quickly found eight men. These eight men were named Kong Ren, Cao Yu, Yan Bai, Hua Song, Xin Zhen, Wei Huan, Tao Wei, and Jiang Zhou. The eight of them were Jin Chan.

, Tie Qiu, Yin Zhu, some of the men who often ran around in the rivers and lakes in the past, some have seen them before, some have also heard about them. Today they meet, and they are even more happy. They eat meat with big mouthfuls and drink wine from big bowls. Except for the eight of them,

There were also some escorts and ordinary bodyguards who were all nephews and apprentices of these people. Li Zhong did not take them.

Kong Ren, Cao Yu and the others had already heard that Yue Su was going to pay to help them reopen the escort agency. They were all very grateful and threatened that in the future, as long as Yue Su was given orders, he would absolutely obey them no matter what he did. Yue Su looked at such a person

Like Jin Chan and others, he was a straightforward man, and he was even more happy. It was inevitable that he would have a few more drinks and discuss the matter of reopening the escort agency.

Yue Su was drinking, but inside the cabinet, there were dark clouds.

"It has been raining heavily for days in Henan, the river water has risen, and three dams of the Yellow River have been closed in the Huaiqing section. Hundreds of thousands of victims have poured into Kaifeng, Zhengzhou and other neighboring counties. Henan's chief envoys have written letters one after another, requesting the imperial court to send money for disaster relief. You see, what should be done?

How to deal with it.”

In the flower hall, Ye Xianggao looked around. As usual, this kind of matter would have been settled at a cabinet meeting, and there was no need to take it home for study. But now, the Ministry of Revenue really doesn't have much money, and the emperor uses it to build the Jiaotai Palace.

One hundred and fifty thousand taels, Liaodong has raised wages a few days ago, because the person in charge of Liaodong is Sun Chengzong, a member of the Donglin Party and the Minister of the Ministry of War. Even if the court has no money, Ye Xianggao has to find a way to force the Ministry of Household Affairs to raise it for him.

Seeing the floods in Henan, the originally good year was suddenly turned upside down, how could it not be annoying? Ye Xianggao held a cabinet meeting for a day, but did not come up with a proper strategy. Several cabinet members could only light lamps and boil oil.

Of course, since it was a major event involving the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Revenue, the two ministers were invited even though they had not joined the cabinet. The minister of the Ministry of Industry was naturally Feng Quan, and the minister of the Ministry of Revenue was Chen Dadao.

During the Tianqi period, the Household Secretary changed frequently. Chen Dadao's predecessor was dismissed after only working for a month. This old man was pretty good and has been working for half a year. Although he could not withstand the pressure, he paid

The emperor was scolded a lot for building the palace, but because he pleased the emperor, he was able to stay in office.

After Ye Xianggao said these words, no one below said a word. Only when you have money can you find a way. If you don't have money, there is no way. Seeing everyone staring at each other, Ye Xianggao looked at Chen

Da Dao, said: "Chen Shangshu, Henan is now urging money for disaster relief. As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, you must come up with some opinions."

"Yes, yes..." Chen Dadao nodded awkwardly and said carefully: "The Yellow River burst its banks, and disaster relief is a big matter. Logically speaking, we should allocate funds for disaster relief immediately, but the Ministry of Revenue really has no money now. The military pay allocated to Liaodong a few days ago

, I finally managed to squeeze it out, and I can still get up to 50,000 taels at the moment."

"Henan has been hit by a large area of ​​​​disaster, and there are refugees everywhere. Fifty thousand taels of silver is enough for what you can do. I think your Ministry of Household Affairs seems to be quite rich. Didn't you still provide money to build the Jiaotai Palace for Your Majesty two months ago?" Ye Xiang said coldly.

Said coldly.

"This..." Chen Da Dao quickly lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Two months ago, the weather was good. Who would have thought that it would suddenly turn sharply and the Yellow River would break its banks. I didn't expect that either."

"You haven't thought about it, so don't you, the Minister of Household Affairs, know how to prepare for a rainy day? The disaster is serious now. If we don't provide disaster relief, there will be a civil uprising. Can you bear the responsibility?" Ye Xianggao said solemnly.

"I..." Chen Dada said, unable to answer a word.

"I just wanted to invite Chongmei. Let's see how you end up this time." Chen Dadao is not a Donglin Party member, and Ye Xianggao certainly won't give him a good look. Then he added: "Think about it again, everyone must come up with it before dawn.

It’s just a calculation.”

Han Xu, the second assistant, rolled his eyes a few times and said: "Brother Jinqing, the disaster relief work is urgent. Even if the Ministry of Household Affairs cannot come up with money for a while, the court must take action. I don't think it's better than this. Please appoint a chief minister."

Members, first go to patrol Henan to calm people's hearts. As for the money, we can raise it bit by bit and then transport it there."

This is called superficial work, not practical, only imaginary, and it is completely done for the world to see. It shows that the court still cares about the people in the disaster area. Although there is no money, I hope you don't worry, there will be bread. As for the

How many people starve to death is none of our business.

Since the actual situation is not enough, it is enough to deal with it in a virtual way. Everyone is still in a hurry to go home and finish the meal. Immediately, Han Xu's proposal received a response from everyone. Shi Jikai was the first to agree: "Brother Xiang Yun.

What he said is absolutely true, we should first send people down to calm people's hearts, and then try to help the victims and rebuild the river works."

“It makes sense.” “It should be so.”…

Ye Xianggao had no other choice now. Although he knew that the face-saving project would really help, it was still better than nothing. He nodded and said, "Brother Xiangyun's suggestion is indeed reasonable, but you guys think, who should be sent?"

It would be more appropriate for a senior official to go to governor Henan."

"This..." Upon hearing this, everyone shut their mouths.

If this is a safe thing in the local area, it would be a good job to be a governor. Everyone is eager to put one of their own people in it. But who would be willing to send one of their own people to die knowing that he is a scapegoat?

The governor was ordered to provide disaster relief. If after you take office, you have no effect at all and continue to displace the victims, or even cause a civil commotion. By then, it is certain that you will be involved in the disaster, and maybe you will have to hinder your future. In fact,

It's not a good job. You know, if you don't have money, you can't do anything, and you will be in trouble.

Seeing that no one was talking, Ye Xianggao looked at Feng Quan and said with a smile: "Feng Shangshu, who do you think would be better for governor of Henan?"

Ye Xianggao also knew that this was not a good thing, so he went to Feng Quan first instead of asking his own people.

Feng Quan was not an idiot. How could he take on his own people for such a useless job? However, his reaction was quick and he immediately thought of someone. He replied: "Mr. Ge, in my humble opinion, this disaster relief mission was ordered.

The governorship of Henan is a matter of great importance and must not be taken carelessly. Only by electing a high-ranking official with high prestige and integrity can we appease the people and avoid betraying the divine grace."

Although Feng Quan did not mention his name, as soon as he finished speaking, everyone here immediately realized who he was talking about. On this night, the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party reached an unprecedented consensus and drove Yue Su away.

people.

Feng Quan took a very superficial view and just wanted to harm Yue Su, but old foxes like Ye Xianggao took a much deeper view than him. "Yue Su, this stumbling block, must be driven away. Once he leaves, the government will inevitably

Everything will be in our hands. When Wei Zhongxian is killed, who else in the world can compete with us. Moreover, once Yue Su goes to Henan, he will definitely have a narrow escape from death, not to mention that there will be no money to provide you with disaster relief, which will cause the disaster victims to suffer.

Those royal relatives in Henan are enough for you to eat a pot. There are princes and princes in Henan, and they are the ones who commit crimes. Don’t you, Yue Su, flaunt your iron-faced secrecy? I will let you see with your own eyes, you are in charge.

Or don’t care?”

Ye Xianggao couldn't help but sneer in his heart when he thought about this, but he still had a kind look on his face. He nodded slightly and said: "Feng Shangshu's words are reasonable. We should indeed choose a minister who has a reputation and is honest and fair. It's just that

Looking at the capital, there are not many such high-ranking officials. Chen Shangshu, do you have any good candidates?"

Chen Da Dao was definitely not a mediocre person to be able to reach this position. It was just that he did not belong to the Donglin Party and he did not despise being associated with the Eunuch Party, so he was always excluded and impeached. The person proposed by Ye Xianggao and Feng Quan,

Of course he knew it, but Yue Su was deeply favored by the emperor, how could he speak first? He pretended to be confused and said: "Oh, there are not many such high-ranking officials in the capital, like Ye Shoufu and Han Cifu, although they are very good

He is virtuous and talented, and has a high prestige, but it is really inconvenient for all the officials to be busy with official duties. By the way, Yang Lian, the deputy censor of the capital, has a good reputation and a high prestige, so I think it is very appropriate for him to go."
