Chapter 90
"Your husband is on duty in the Department of General Administration, so you should know how pervasive the school is, let alone Jin Yiwei."

"I'm afraid he was arrested by Jin Yiwei and sent to prison just before he escaped from the capital."

Princess Anqing deserves to be a virtuous housemate, who can wake up a confused husband at a critical moment. She sat up straight in the golden embroidered Yunxia Zhaiwen Xiapei, and faced Hu Hanshan squarely: "Based on the current situation, it is impossible to escape."

"Father, as a well-known member of the Hu Party, even if he wanted to, he would not be able to retire. The Marquis of Huaixi will not allow father to retire, and Father Emperor will not agree to father's retirement."

"The only way is to create the court situation in the early years of the Han Dynasty, but in this way, more party members need to be gathered. For my father, it is just drinking poison to quench thirst."

Hu Hanshan didn't expect the lady to have such insight, she deserves to be the daughter of the royal family.

Pulling himself together, he patted Princess Anqing's golden embroidered Yunxia Zhai Wenxia peepal, and said with a relaxed expression: "Isn't it just disaster relief, just come up with a way to make it worse."

"This bad thing can turn into a good thing, and maybe it can make a Huaixi Marquis completely break with the Hu party."

Princess Anqing's beaded emerald peony bun moved slightly, her steps swayed, and she said with a dignified smile: "The officials in Jinling say that your husband is ridiculous, but now it seems that you are the most wise one."

"The voluntary resignation of Fu Yujin's marriage is probably not because her husband doesn't like her, but because of her father Fu Youde's power."

Hu Hanshan smiled awkwardly, and stood up hastily: "I'm on duty for my husband, my wife should take good care of her body at home, and strive to give birth to a big fat boy as soon as possible."

Princess Anqing left the arch of hanging flowers as if watching her husband run away, and smiled more dignifiedly: "Prosperous children and grandchildren are one of the three obediences and four virtues of a great woman."

"Since my husband likes Fu Yuxi, the county magistrate will find a way to let her in."

Hu Hanshan was called to the Tongji Gate before he reached the office of the Tongzheng Secretary.

As the deputy envoy for disaster relief, he must supervise the loading of the relief food on the horses, and there must be no omissions.

Hu Hanshan knew how much Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang hated corrupt officials, especially when it came to disaster relief for the common people, and even the slightest mistake could not escape the responsibility.

Supervising the loading of disaster relief food on the horses of the caravan is another tedious job. Even if Hu Hanshan does it, he may not be able to discover the petty tricks of the subordinates.

Hu Hanshan called Li Jun, and Zhang Youwen, who was building a nursing home, to come and help for a few days, and he could sit back and relax: "I will trouble you both."

The subordinate officials originally saw that Hu Hanshan was an honorable son who did not distinguish between five grains, and he was so young, so they wanted to use some means to intercept some disaster relief food.

For a few thousand shi of grain, it is not obvious that there is a loss of thirty or forty shi, and these grains will not be put into the warehouse for inventory in the end, but will be distributed to the victims of the disaster in Jing County.

No one will find out.

When the subordinate officials saw Li Jun and Zhang Youwen, the joy on their faces disappeared in an instant, and they were all bitter faces.

Li Jun has served as a patrol inspector at Tongjimen for so long, and he knows the methods of the subordinate officials clearly, and he has never received any benefits.

Zhang Youwen has gained a great reputation among the subordinate officials in Jinling because of the Nursing House. No one knows that he is an old official.

The subordinate staff could only put on a bitter face, and loaded the grain on the mules and horses step by step.

Hu Hanshan was sitting in a nearby tea shed, drinking tea leisurely, still drinking Fuchun tea.

Before taking a few sips, I saw an old acquaintance, looking at the mules and horses that were loading food from time to time.

Hu Hanshan carried the private kiln teapot, moved to the next table, and patted the old layman on the shoulder: "Hehe, what a coincidence, I ran into the old layman here again."

Fortunately, I didn't call my brother.

If someone from the inferior generation called out "brother", Jiang Yu would put a scabbard on Hu Hanshan's forehead for everything he said.

Hu Hanshan already knew the true identity of the old layman, no matter how scoundrel he was, he would never call his father-in-law's brother a brother.

After pouring a cup of tea for half of his relatives himself, Hu Hanshan said with a smile, "Why does the old layman have time to come to the noisy Tongji Gate?"

Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip, and never took his eyes off the relief food: "The great hermit lives in the city. If you want to cultivate Buddha nature, it will be effective in this prosperous secular world."

Hu Hanshan also wanted to ask the old layman to buy more tea, pretending to be admiring and said, "High! It's really high! You really have a realm."

"But, boy, I heard that drinking tea can help you calm your mind and mind, so you don't want to buy some tea anymore."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced back at Hu Hanshan, feeling a little funny: "Let's say you keep flattering, so you are waiting here."

"If you really want to sell it, you might as well sell it to merchants in Jing County."

Hu Hanshan shook his head: "The merchants in Jing County must be busy hoarding. Where can I find spare money to buy my tea?"

Hoarding!

Zhu Yuanzhang never thought that Hu Hanshan, who was ignorant since he was a child, was actually proficient in governing the country: "You didn't just hear a word from Prime Minister Zuo, and came here to pretend to be here."

Hu Hanshan's face was full of displeasure: "I don't like to hear you keep saying this. The boy was really a jerk before, but since he has a good wife."

"Every day I feel like I'm being reborn."

What Zhu Yuanzhang is most satisfied with in terms of children is that all of them have become talents, especially Princess Anqing's wiseness is most like her mother's queen.

This sentence is exaggerated to the bottom of my heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and asked, "Then tell me, what is hoarding?"

When this word was mentioned, righteous indignation appeared on Hu Hanshan's face: "Now is the time of peace and prosperity, and the price of rice is cheap, but it is only one tael or two silver per stone."

"The drought in Jing County is different. In order to increase the price of rice, profiteers don't sell rice as the years get worse, and they all hoard rice."

"When the price of rice has soared, the grain shop will open to sell rice. As for whether ordinary people will starve to death at home because of the soaring price of rice, the profiteers will not pay attention to it. They only care about them taking advantage of the drought and flood. How much money can you earn?"

This is what Zhu Yuanzhang is most worried about.

The terrain of Jing County is mountainous and the roads are narrow, so the relief food cannot be transported in for a while.

If the merchants in Jing County colluded with the officials and gentry to hoard and hoard, they would know how many ordinary people would starve to death.

This is what happened in every famine in the past dynasties, and the officials and gentry would take the opportunity to annex more land.

Zhu Yuanzhang will not get used to these profiteering businessmen and gentry, whoever dares to touch the rations of the common people will destroy his whole family.

Hu Hanshan drank a big mouthful of tea, and slammed the table: "I want to see, those who colluded with the government and businessmen are all arrested."

"Peel!"

"it is good!"

After hearing these two words, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes shone brightly: "I hope you can unite your knowledge and action."
