Chapter five hundred and eighty fourth parting again (for jojoo)
Time passed in a blink of an eye, and it was already the day when Liu Mingzhi rushed to Qingzhou Prefecture.
From the Jinluan Palace, Liu Mingzhi accepted the imperial edict under the eyes of all the ministers with different thoughts, and rushed to Qingzhou to control the locust plague.
I glanced at the expressions of the civil and military officials in the court. Some were surprised, some were worried, and some were gloating about their misfortune. All kinds of human behaviors were performed perfectly in the court hall.
Moreover, each and every one of them performed so superbly that Liu Mingzhi was almost moved to tears.
But it was just a close call. There are no true friends above the court.
Amidst the congratulations, Liu Mingzhi bid farewell to the emperor on the throne and left the palace. As for what will happen in the court after he leaves, Liu Mingzhi has no way of knowing.
However, he believed that most of the ministers were gloating over misfortunes. The locust plague now seems to be a punishment from the locust god in the sky. Is it so easy to manage?
Officials in the past dynasties who controlled the locust plague had no other choice but to massively distribute food and set up porridge shops to give out porridge! They independently believed that Liu Mingzhi also used the method of providing food relief to control the Qingzhou locust plague.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the note that his immediate boss, Jiang Yuanming, had given him before leaving and opened it gently: "If you have any difficulties, please write to me and I will do my best!"
Liu Mingzhi felt a little moved in his heart. To be fair, he didn't have a very good sense of Young Master Jiang Yuanming who was insisting on knocking on the door for money in the court hall.
In fact, every time the civil and military officials reached out to ask for money from him, the Minister of Household Affairs, Jiang Yuanming would jump up and down, buckling the rope in such a way that even Liu Mingzhi could not see past it.
It's no different from a shrew scolding someone in the street. This is a high-ranking member of the first rank of the dynasty, so it's really not a good gesture to make such a gesture.
But when he saw this note, Liu Mingzhi suddenly understood Jiang Yuanming's behavior. It was difficult to make a chair for the Minister of Household Affairs. There were civil and military officials asking for money every day!
The Ministry of Industry wants money to build a mutual market outside the Great Wall.
The Ministry of War wants money to replace the equipment of the Six Guards in Northern Xinjiang.
The Ministry of Punishment wants the salaries of the various yamen agents.
The Ministry of Rites wants to offer sacrifices to heaven and ancestors with money.
The officials should prepare money for the imperial examination and repair the palace.
The military commander wants food and fodder, and the political secretary wants money to buy war horses.
It can be said that the entire imperial court is asking for money from the Ministry of Household Affairs. The tax revenue of the national treasury is only so little for one year. If anyone wants to pay, the national treasury will be empty even if it takes eight years. If something unexpected happens,
, not even money for relief.
If Jiang Yuanming doesn't act like a scoundrel and scold his father and mother, the treasury will become a place where mice will leave in tears when they come.
Liu Mingzhi would never admit that he felt that Jiang Yuanming was a good person because of this note. I admire Jiang Shangshu's character.
Gently twist the paper strips in your hands into paper foam, which is effortless for Young Master Foreliu.
When Qi Yun was a sixth-grade master, she could take her husband across the Qinhuai River. If Liu Mingzhi couldn't do this, he might as well find a piece of tofu and kill him.
Glancing at Young Master Song Qingliu, who was holding the Imperial Envoy Seal in one hand and Shang Fang's Horse-Zhancing Sword in the other, he shrugged helplessly: "Why, don't you want to go to Qingzhou Mansion with your brothers?"
Song Qing rolled his eyes at Liu Mingzhi: "Oh, what a sin, your second sister-in-law is pregnant just now, you said it's not good for you to let anyone go, like Lao Jia, why do you have to let me accompany you to Qingzhou!"
Is the locust plague so easy to cure? It can take as little as three to five months, or as long as a year and a half. By the time I come back, your second sister-in-law will have given birth to her child!"
It was a good thing that Song Qing didn't mention this matter, but when he mentioned Liu Mingzhi's heart, he was filled with anger: "Second sister-in-law has just become pregnant and you are like this. Your sister-in-law is about to give birth. You still have to go after what I said!"
"That's what you asked for. Do you have to trick that guy or something?"
"Ichiko Sakai!"
"Yes, Sakai Kazuko, that name is so fucking fucked. If you had not tricked Sakai Kazuko and recuperated at home, would something like this have happened? Can you blame others for committing suicide? It's so petty.
I have to do the same thing as you, a bastard, so who can I ask to explain to you?"
"I didn't know it would be like this. If I had known it would be like this, I would sleep with my wife at home and not interfere with this. Do you think I am happy? If it weren't for Your Majesty, forget it. Don't mention it.
This has happened, where are the imperial guards?"
"We are all waiting outside the south gate. The Imperial Guards and Imperial Chariots are also ready for you, Mr. Liu. The five thousand New Army Longwu Guards are not sure whether they are going to provide disaster relief or to suppress bandits! Although I have never seen the New Army.
Blood, but the combat power is more than ten times stronger than that of the soldiers!"
Liu Mingzhi frowned: "Long Wuwei? Is the scale of the Imperial Guard so high? Shouldn't the new army go to Yingzhou?"
"Who knows, maybe His Majesty thinks that once the trade routes are opened, there will be no need to fight in Northern Xinjiang, so he should think of other ways to continue his troops for the time being!"
Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief. He always felt that things were not that simple. Could Long Wuwei be used by the imperial guards?
Although it is just a new army that has never been on the battlefield, it is not much worse than the Imperial Guards in Dalong Capital City, because the Imperial Guards in the Capital City are also elite and have seen very little blood.
When the imperial guards see blood, it means that Dalong's empire has come to an end. They have all been beaten back to their hometown. What else is there to say!
"Okay, don't think about this anymore. Say goodbye to your family. I'll wait for you at the south gate. Don't make me wait too long. What are you thinking about not seeing your elder brother for a day?"
Song Qing's mouth twitched and shuddered, and he watched Young Master Liu get on his horse and leave in disgust.
"Go home."
Liu Song turned the carriage around and rushed towards Liu Mansion!
After tea, Liu Mingzhi jumped out of the carriage and looked at the people standing outside the house, his heart sank.
"Old man, I'll leave the family to you!"
Liu Zhi'an nodded solemnly: "Be careful on the road. Doing something you know you can't do is not smart but a fool. Be smart!"
"I know, don't worry!"
"Mom, please take care of yourself!"
"Mom, I know!" Mrs. Liu's eyes were a little red: "Zhi'er, pay attention to your health, don't starve yourself, your health is the most important!"
"Mom, don't worry, the child will take good care of himself!"
The son traveled thousands of miles and the mother was worried. Even though Young Master Liu had already married and established a career, Mrs. Liu was still uneasy. However, at this point, she could only let nature take its course and could not disobey the imperial edict.
The agreement signed by the four major families and the emperor did not violate the emperor's order!
"Madam, I'm sorry, my husband can't stay with you anymore. I owe you too much!"
Qi Yun gently stroked Liu Mingzhi's cheek, not showing any shyness even if everyone was present: "Husband, take good care of yourself. I am waiting for you to come back, and your children are waiting for you to come back!"
Liu Mingzhi nodded heavily: "Don't worry, my husband will come back in good health, take good care of the children and wait for me to come back!"
"I know it!"
"Qing Shi!"
"I'm here!"
"Take care of your sister and take care of yourself!"
"Don't worry, husband, I will not dare to be careless!"
"Ying'er, please be obedient."
"Uh huh huh!"
"Willow Pine!"
"Master!"
Liu Mingzhi put his arms around Liu Song's shoulders and walked to the corner: "I'll rush six hundred miles with Han Zhong to send the contents of this letter to the East China Sea and hand it over to Jiang He. I also gave the five million taels of silver notes to Jiang He. He read it.
You will understand if you believe it!”
"Yes, little one, go right away!"
Liu Song ran into the mansion to find Han Zhong without hesitation.
Liu Mingzhi looked at the bright blue sky and sighed: "I want to see if a ninth-grade master can withstand the red cannon's thousands of shots!"
