Chapter 247

"Amita Buddha, I finally received a reply from the princess and concubines." The governor's wife, Mrs. Fan, chanted the Buddha's voice, and their invitation letters were sent for several days without any movement. I am really worried that the princess and concubines have plans. Remember to provide you with wonderful novel reading on your mobile phone in one second.

Now that they were finally summoned, Mrs. Fan breathed a sigh of relief. He heard from the master that the prince had a bad temperament. Mrs. Fan arranged for the maids to prepare for the imperial uniforms they would wear tomorrow, and was worried about the gifts they gave to the prince's concubine. At this moment, Luoyang City, what else can I give to her at such a disaster?

The grandson-in-law Wang, holding Mrs. Fan's imperial edict, came over and said with a smile, "I have asked them to take care of the clothes. Grandma, see, can it be done?"

"You have always been careful, what's wrong?" Mrs. Fan looked at her belly and smiled deeper on her face, "Don't work anymore, just rest more."

"Wenma said, don't always sit in the house. Walk in the yard every day to make you stronger." Wang sat with Mrs. Fan and asked, "Grandmother, please give me some gifts to the princess?"

"I have to take it. But now at this time of disaster relief, the Empress may not be happy if she is given a heavy gift, but she cannot go empty-handed."

Wang looked around and pointed to Wei Zi with flower buds on the table. "Luoyang peonies are famous all over the world. Grandma, why not take a few pots of peonies and ask the Empress to enjoy them."

He reminded Mrs. Fan, "So, you have a good idea." He called two wife to come in and asked the famous peony in the mansion to put together six pots and deliver it to the princess tomorrow. "In fact, there is also a peony garden in our governor's office, and the peony in it is all famous, but this is our intention, different."

The grandparents and grandchildren were talking when they saw Mrs. Fan's nephew Li Shang coming to pay his respects. Mrs. Fan asked, "Why are you here now? You are so busy that you can't catch any shadows."

Li Shang asked his aunt and grandmother for care, and asked his cousin's wife, "The shops were all closed a few days ago. Now the shops are all opened by the third prince. The businessmen in the imperial capital brought by the third prince. They are not allowed to be involved in their affairs. The third prince sent people to take care of them. I am not idle as the order of the municipal government."

Li Shang sighed, "It's not that I like to seize power and take on things, so I didn't do that. I'm going to say that my aunt, grandmother and sister-in-law can't believe it. Now, outside, a pound of apples costs 100 taels of silver, and a chicken costs 50 taels per pound. By pound, a slightly fat hen costs 100 taels, who can afford to eat?"

Mrs. Fan was dumbfounded, "No. I heard that the food brought by the third prince is only one tael of silver and one stone."

"The food is cheap and the medicinal materials are not expensive, but apart from these two things, all chicken, fish, elbow, meat, fresh vegetables, fruits and melons are sky-high. How can people live?" Li Shang patted his thigh and worried, "There is a lot of complaints in the city. I just went to my aunt's side, and I was very worried when I saw that he was also very worried."

Mrs. Fan and Wang's grandson looked at each other, and Wang advised Li Shang, "Don't be anxious, brother, can't afford to eat only our family? Why are you anxious? When others see you are anxious, they will be your gun. Just follow your grandfather peacefully. If you have a job, you will be a job, and if you don't have a job, you will serve your grandfather. Your prince has such a noble status as his noble, and for the first time, he will come here. The old saying goes, "Don't show anything. Be careful that your high-ranking fire will burn on your head."

Li Shang was impatient. After Wang's careful analysis and persuasion, his anger was half gone and he laughed, "What my sister-in-law said is, if there is anything wrong with my sister-in-law, I will just punish me."

"You are a man's house, and we women's affairs are not noisy." Wang asked Li Shang smartly, "Didn't it mean that the Emperor went to Yecheng before he arrived in Luoyang? If he could find out the matter in Yecheng, it would be of some help to our Luoyang."

Li Shangfa complained and went there. Mrs. Fan said, "I am still young and have no worries. I'm so anxious about everything."

"My brother Shang has always been honest." Wang pondered, "Your Highness, the prince, just want some filial piety, and you don't have to speak. You have this kind of thing in the officialdom. Now that you are rich like this, you are not very decent."

Mrs. Fan has been an official with her husband for the rest of her life, and she has never seen such local merchants close down, which will make the foreign merchants she brought to make a fortune.

Governor Fan bowed deeply to Censor Zhuo, "It was supposed to be the officials who went to pay tribute to the Lord in person, but now I still have to go to the humble house to go down, and the officials are uneasy."

"What are you upset? This is my order. After all, I have to stay in the Governor's Office with the Third Prince. If you go to the Governor's Office, do you want to pay tribute to the Third Prince? It is the hardest thing to deal with him. Let's go out and stop talking for a while." Every time Censor Zhuo mentioned the tone of the Third Prince, he always made Governor Fan suspicious. After all, he was really dissatisfied with His Highness. Who is not so kind to the face? This Censor is blunt.

After thinking, Governor Fan led Censor Zhuo to the main hall to serve tea. Censor Zhuo asked, "What's the matter?"

This is different from the officialdom, and it is too straightforward.

Zhuo Jingshi raised the corner of his lips, picked up the teacup and opened the lid. A stream of Chencha fu rushed straight to the door, almost choking Zhuo Jingshi. Zhuo Jingshi covered him back, "Okay, why are you asking me for nothing? If you really have nothing to do, I will leave."

"No. That's right, sir, since the market closed, the chamber of commerce has visited the first few times. Due to the flood, it is true that the business of shops in the city is light. But now, shops in Luoyang are not allowed to open, but only merchants in the imperial capital who followed His Highness to operate. The merchants in the city are impetuous, and I don't know where they offended His Highness. There are also several groups of gentry in the city." Governor Fan told the difficulties truthfully.

"I have nothing to eat before, what business can I do? Besides, there are wages for building embankments, city walls, bridges and roads. Where does this money come from?" Zhuo Jingshi asked, "You governor's yamen still have money?"

Governor Fan shook his head, "The yamen has bought grain for all the money deposited in the money."

"Do you want to ask the court for money again?" Censor Zhuo continued to ask.

Before Governor Fan could speak, Censor Zhuo looked at him, "Since last year, Henan reported many snow disasters, this spring, the imperial court's three allocations of silver funds reached a huge amount of one million. Henan is directly connected to the two lakes. If you buy the 20 taels of silver and one stone of food in Henan with silver, do you believe that Your Majesty can peel you alive?"

"No, no, no, how dare the subordinates behave so ashamed of Junxin? Lord, except for the food allocated by the court, the subordinates bought the food in Hubei, and every turn is recorded in the book." Governor Fan quickly defended.

"You know in your heart that if the court is willing to allocate grains again, the third prince will come directly with the court's relief grain. Now the grain is all from the grain merchants in the imperial capital. These grains also require money. If you don't have silver here, would you ask the third prince to pay? I don't have money!" Zhuo Jingshi said to him, "Are you stupid? If you are capable of disaster relief here, the court can send the third prince here? He is in charge of the Ministry of Justice in the imperial capital, and he usually lives a king of hell. The court is dissatisfied with you, so he will quickly handle the disaster relief matters clearly, and he can give an explanation in the future."

"You are at your age, you have to think about your children and grandchildren." Zhuo Yu rolled his eyes, "It is taken from the people to the people, but now it is just a turn, and it is taken from the wealthy to the poor. Do you not understand or pretend to be stupid? Don't place these disaster-stricken people well, find some tasks for them, and then let them be displaced to the imperial capital to make a living. I think you really have to be safe in your later years!"

Zhuo Censor Zhuo, the chief leader of the Censorate, directly trained Governor Fan as a grandson. Zhuo Censor Frown, "Think about it yourself, the Third Prince will never let himself be blind, and I will never fail in Luoyang. What about yourself? Official position is important, or merchants are important? If you don't have money, eat a tael of rice for a stone, and if you have money, buy chicken, fish, elbow, meat, delicacies, and survive this disaster, everyone will be safe, that's it."

"Yes, what the adults taught me is." Governor Fan gently wiped his forehead and sweated.

Zhuo Jingshi ticked his neck and whispered to him, "I will be the auxiliary of this disaster relief, and the Third Highness will be the main one. As long as there is no big frowned, I can go here. You are also a third-rank official, a provincial governor. If you don't care about it and offend people, the Third Highness will ask me to come forward. If I don't care, he will take care of it himself. Do you miss me or do you want him to ask about your Luoyang internal affairs?"

Looking at Governor Fan with a guilty look on his face, Censor Zhuo snorted, "You threw a stone to ask for directions today. This stone was thrown to me, and it was your luck. Otherwise, you would give the third prince a chance to seize your power!"

"The officials of the lower ranks have no disrespect. In fact, the disaster relief failed, and the subordinates were also worried and uneasy, and they were confused for a moment." Governor Fan apologized.

"Okay. If you have a idea in your mind, you will be able to do things neatly and beautifully. Once the disaster relief is over, we will immediately return to the imperial capital. Who will be here for a long time? Once we leave, you will be safe."

Censor Zhuo really looks down on Governor Fan. He is very sensible and is useless on the right road! With such a sly and tentative heart, why don’t you do the disaster relief work well!

Seeing that when he said that the Third Highness wanted to seize his internal affairs power, he was so scared that his mind was scared. The Third Highness was not permanently stationed in Luoyang Prefecture, so what should he do to seize the power of internal affairs? The Third Highness is now eyeing him to look for the fatal omission of Luoyang Prefecture! You'd better prepare the scapegoat quickly!

Li Yuhua sat upright on the couch in the middle of the upper head. When the decree wives gave a great gift, he made a gesture of helping his hands with his hands, "No need to be too polite, get up."

Let the maid serve tea.

"I received your invitation a few days ago. I have been looking for a time to meet and talk to everyone." Li Yuhua looked at Mrs. Fan, "Mrs. Fan will introduce me to me. Which official's family is here?"

Mrs. Fan then told Li Yuhua the official positions of their husbands one by one. Li Yuhua's eyes stopped for a moment at the wife of Lin County Magistrate Lin. The third brother said that she would prefer this wife of Lin County Magistrate Lin. Li Yuhua picked up a topic now, "What a coincidence, my hometown is also Zhili Prefecture. As for this, we are the same hometown."

Mrs. Lin gave another gift, and Li Yuhua asked her in detail where her hometown was in Zhili Mansion. Seeing that Mrs. Lin was gentle and generous, she also liked Mrs. Lin a little more.

After lunch, Mrs. Lin asked her to have a meal with her and said to everyone, "This cook was originally working in the birthday kitchen. After we left the palace and opened the mansion, the emperor's grandmother was worried that the third brother would not be used to eating outside, so she specially gave it to our mansion. His craftsmanship is pretty good, so everyone tastes it."

When all the ladies and wives say goodbye, Li Yuhua each has their own rewards. Knowing that Mrs. Lin has children at home, she specially gave her more pastry and asked her to take it back for the children to eat.

When County Magistrate Lin returned home, he saw his son holding his chin and staring at a plate of snow-white snacks with a greedy look. When he heard the movements entering the house, the little guy turned around and jumped off the chair and rushed over, hugging his father's thigh with joy, "Dad! You're back!" Then he said, "Dad, are you tired? Are you thirsty? Are you hungry?"
