Hu Lian knew what Xin Yande was looking at and what he was thinking.
"I know!" Xin Yande's voice was bitter, "But... I just thought that if a river could be diverted from there, whether in Sizhou, Huai'an, or Huaibei, there would still be a waterway that could be diverted when the flood comes.
"As he spoke, he sighed, "Otherwise, the court will spend a lot of money this year, which means it will last for three to five years. After three to five years, it will have to..."
"No one dares to do it!" Hu Lian also sighed, "The civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will not allow anyone to have such an idea, and the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty will not allow anyone to have such an idea. It is the emperor who tolerates you, and you can
Everything is safe and sound. If the emperor had not tolerated you, based on what you said that day, you would have been dead and buried long ago!"
Xin Yande didn't say anything, just smiled lightly, and his smile was thought-provoking.
"Perhaps!" After a long time, he spoke, "Perhaps after the emperor has ruled the world for thirty or fifty years, when the words and laws follow, things may turn around!" Then he sighed again, "But in these thirty or fifty years, things may turn around.
Zhong, hey... the people!"
"Sir, why are you like this!" Hu Lian comforted him kindly, "You and I both know that many people in this world come to this world just to suffer!"
These words immediately silenced the surrounding people.
The greatest ambition of these scholars is to bring peace to their family, country and the world.
But sometimes, many things are contradictory. They want to do things for the people, even if it is for the good of the people, but they have to stand on the opposite side of the people.
At their age and official position, they actually already have the answer in their hearts.
Being able to protect many people is partly a result of them doing their best.
At this moment, Qianhu, a guard in Jinyi, suddenly came over.
The scar on Li Shiyi's face was as ferocious as a centipede. He looked at the worried adults, and then raised his fingers at He Pingan.
The latter silently pulled away and followed Li Shiyi to an inconspicuous place.
"Say!" He Ping'an whispered.
"The fish are here!" Li Shiyi sneered, "At midnight tonight, the ship will enter the port! After a midnight rest, we will rush to Yancheng!"
He Ping'an rolled his eyes and said, "Keep staring!" He said, and ordered, "Brother, Du Tang has repeatedly warned us that we should just keep an eye on things we shouldn't do...?"
"Brother, don't worry, I know!" The scars on Li Shiyi's face became more and more ferocious, and he took a sip, "Huh, it's damn hard to drink clean water here in the disaster area. Those who have power in the court just don't contribute, so why not?"
Are you taking advantage of the calamity to make money? You are really not a fucking thing!"
"They are nothing at all!" He Ping'an sneered, "They are just lucky enough to be escaped by their father. If it were an ordinary family, huh, they would be beaten eight times a day!"
~~
Three days later, the Forbidden City.
Tang Fu, who was wearing a unicorn uniform, slowly approached the Qianqing Gate under the guidance of the guards.
At the age of forty, a man is at his peak both mentally and physically. In addition, he has been leading troops abroad for many years, and Tang Fu's movements are full of the authority of a feudal official.
"Two...two...second uncle!"
Among the guards on duty outside Qianqing Palace, the head guard Yuan Xingye was stunned for a moment, then jumped up and rushed over, hurriedly saluted and said, "Second uncle, why do you come back to the capital so soon?"
Seeing his nephew, Tang Fu's stern face became more smiley, "Is it fast? It only takes five or six days to take the post road!"
"You said it's easy, but if you change the horse but not the person, the person will always be on the horse and never get off..."
"That's not a piece of cake!" Tang Fu said with a smile, "When I went on an expedition with your grandfather, within a month, except for getting on the tuba, I never got off the horse, and I slept on the horse's back! "
"No, what my nephew means is that you are already this age..."
"You brat, I'm asking for a beating. You dare to say that I'm old!" Tang Fu gave him a fake kick, and Yuan Xingye smiled playfully.
The guards next to him saw it with envy and envy.
"Let's go home tonight. I'll go to see the saint first!" Tang Fu patted Yuan Xingye's shoulder again and laughed brightly, "You have a good time with the little ones at home, and bring your wife and children with you. Take a look!"
Yuan Xingye thought about it, "You haven't gone home yet?"
"I just got off the horse and changed my clothes!" Tang Fu said with a smile.
Suddenly, Yuan Xingye felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
My second uncle was doing a good job in Xi'an, but he was suddenly transferred back to the capital. It was so thought-provoking.
"My nephew will show you the way!" Yuan Xingye was in front, leading Tang Fu towards the Qianqing Palace.
As soon as he passed the Qianqing Gate, the guards on both sides of the Duanmen came to greet him.
The leader was also a son of a meritorious official, named Wang Ke.
"My lord, I'm sorry!" Wang Ke saluted and said with a smile, "Before I meet the saint, I will wait for you..."
"Understood!" Tang Fu laughed, "You are also responsible!"
In the original time and space, Tang He's descendants did not actually obtain the title of nobility. Because a young man and the eldest grandson of Tang He's eldest son died in battle, and another young man died in infancy, so even if they had the iron certificate of the alchemy book, they could not obtain the title of nobility.
In this time and space, when Tang He was dying, he told the old man several times that he could not worry about his children and grandchildren, so the title of his family was passed to Tang Fu, the second oldest.
Tang Fu stood there, raising his hand slightly and letting the guards inspect him.
Yuan Xingye on the other hand felt even more uncomfortable. Since the emperor ascended the throne, the power of his Tang family had once been greater than when his grandfather was alive. First, the virtuous concubine gave birth to the prince in the palace, and then his second uncle was directly transferred from the Taiyuan Guard Commander. The Chief Soldier of Xi'an Town is a rare and respectable family among noble families.
But now...
After inspection, the guard released him.
Tang Fu continued to walk forward, and said with a smile inadvertently, "The palace is more disciplined now than before!" He said, and smiled again, "Remember when warriors entered the palace, no one stopped or checked!"
"Now the person named Deng in the palace has the final say!" Yuan Xingye said with a sore heart, "I am the bodyguard and commander of the army, and I have the help of Cao Guogong's family, so I have to be lenient!"
Suddenly, Tang Fu stopped and looked at Yuan Xingye sternly, "I shamelessly asked someone to work in the palace to give you a good future, not to make you chew your tongue!"
Yuan Xingye immediately whispered, "Second uncle, I am not doing this in front of you..."
"There are some things that even my own father can't say! Not only can't I say it, I can't even think about it!" Tang Fu frowned, "This matter is in the palace, not outside. Trouble comes from the mouth!"
~~
"Your Majesty, Tang Fu, comes to see the Emperor!"
In the Nuan Pavilion, Zhu Yunxi, who was on the Luohan bed, raised his head slightly and said, "Oh, you're back so soon? I thought it would take you half a month?"
"After receiving the order, I did not dare to delay, and worked hard day and night..."
Zhu Yunxi looked at the other party. Even though he was dressed in a unicorn uniform, he could not hide the look of being dusty.
"Bring him a stool!" Zhu Yunxi said, "Sit down and talk!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
In fact, Tang Fu still felt a little uneasy. He didn't know why the emperor suddenly wanted to transfer him back. Moreover, there was no sign at all for such a transfer, which caught people off guard.
The reason why he rushed as hard as he could along the way was because he was afraid that he would be slow to come back and make the emperor unhappy.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi took out a piece of paper from the secret cabinet on the table and placed it on the table. "You, Shaanxi Dusi, have 26 health offices under the jurisdiction of Xi'an Town. Last year, the court did not lack even half a grain of rice."
How come there is a shortfall of more than 800,000 yuan equivalent to food?"
In an instant, Tang Fu could no longer sit still.
"This...should not be..."
"The children are all here, do you want to take a look?" Zhu Yunxi said displeased.
"I don't dare!"
He himself is aware of his shortcomings in office, even somewhat aware of them.
He is an old-school military man. His ability to lead troops was learned from his fathers and veteran generals. Besides prestige, the most important thing in leading troops is kindness.
After he was transferred to Xi'an, in order to win over his subordinates, he inevitably turned a blind eye to some things. Moreover, in his opinion, such things as falsely receiving money and food and taking empty meals were not a big deal. After all, warriors are not
There is no way for civil servants to get money. There are so many guard posts, so many commanders, guerrilla generals, lieutenants and generals, so many thousands of households in Shaanxi Province...>
But it's one thing to know, it's another thing to be stabbed in front of the emperor.
Was he transferred back to the capital because of this?
"To attack Yunnan, I only allocated two million, but in one year you created more than 800,000 holes for me in Xi'an Town?" Zhu Yunxi's tone obviously became more serious, "Among the nine borders of the Ming Dynasty, Xi'an Town belongs to
These two days have been the quietest, but the available military supplies are also the largest. Tang Fu, I leave Xi'an town to you, is this how you lead the troops?"
"I am guilty, please punish me!"
"If something goes wrong, let me punish you!" Zhu Yunxi interrupted Tang Fu, "Can't you say something else?" Then he said, "Oh, if I punish you, the deficit will be solved?"
