Daming: I'm rotten, my father is Hu Weiyong

Zhao Qingyuan and Huang Zicheng obviously underestimated the pervasiveness of the Secretary of General Affairs and Inspection. The groom who drove the two of them was an old servant of Zhao Qingyuan's family for many years.

But they didn't know that this seemingly honest and honest groom had always been the agent of the General Secretary's inspector.

Every word they said in the carriage, they thought that even half a word would not be passed on, actually reached Hu Hanshan's ears without missing a word.

Hu Hanshan and Li Jun did not sit in the carriage with silk curtains, but rode two big Liaodong horses, and their voices were neither loud nor soft.

In public, there is no need to worry about what they say will be leaked.

It has always been the inspectors of the General Administration Department who inquired about the officials, and there has never been a precedent for officials' cronies to inquire about the General Administration Department's office.

Before Zhao Qingyuan came over, he had already arranged for a cronies to hang around Hu Hanshan.

Before this cronies could stay for long, he was randomly framed by the inspector of the General Secretary's Yamen for a crime and sent to the prison of Yingtian Mansion.

Zhao Qingyuan was still kept in the dark until now, thinking that his cronies were still looking for news from Hu Hanshan.

Hu Hanshan nodded, and the inspector who was in charge of delivering the news withdrew respectfully.

Hu Hanshan was tricked by Zhao Qingyuan, but he smiled all over his face: "It's really sleepy and the pillow came, Ma Zheng of this county is thinking about how to get rid of the two of them."

"The two of them ran into each other courting death, and gave the county horse a good excuse to punish them."

Li Jun understood what this nonsensical sentence meant: "Could it be that this time the distribution of relief food will not be handed over to the bureaucratic gentry in Jing County?"

Hu Hanshan nodded: "Zhao Qingyuan and Huang Zicheng think they can deceive the horses in this county, thinking that the horses in this county don't know the way inside."

"They made a mistake in their wishful thinking. Not only does the county horse know the way inside, but he also hates their hypocrisy that they claim to have saved many ordinary people."

Hu Hanshan knew that Li Jun was not just a general, but also quite official-minded.

Just use one incident of the Donglin Party's ruling, and say the truth about it with deep hatred.

Floods and droughts occurred in the local area, and the imperial court provided relief, but the food was cut in half before it left the capital.

No matter whether it was food or money, half of it was intercepted by the officials of the six ministries, regardless of whether the common people were greedy for ink.

When the relief money reached the local chief secretary's yamen, it was cut in half again.

The officials of the Chief Secretary Yamen used various excuses to embezzle large sums of food and silver.

The relief food funds finally reached the local prefectures and counties, and they were once again cut in half.

The little remaining relief food was distributed to the local gentry who had no shortage of food and drink. It was called distribution on behalf of others, but there were no more on behalf of them.

Li Jun originally thought that no matter how greedy the officials were, they would have to leave some rations for the common people and keep a living.

But it never occurred to me that from inside to outside, from top to bottom, no one treats ordinary people as human beings.

If you starve to death, you will starve to death, just thinking about how much money you can make by taking advantage of this national disaster.

Li Jun cupped his fists in the direction of Jinling, and he admired the current emperor Zhu Yuanzhang even more: "Emperor Hongwu is still wise. For the common people to have a good life, he will not tolerate corrupt officials in the slightest."

Hu Hanshan quite agrees with Li Jun's words, and it is precisely because of this that those scholars in later generations who have mastered the pen have tried every means to discredit Emperor Hongwu.

At the stall where the two were chatting, Zhao Qingyuan stopped at the post station with Huang Zicheng and several officials from the Ningguo Mansion.

It's only been a long time since I left Jinling. Although it's time to eat, things always have priorities.

The most important thing now is to rush to Jing County to relieve the disaster-stricken people there.

As for food and drink, Hu Hanshan has already prepared some dry food and water, and it is enough to eat while walking.

Zhao Qingyuan waited until the inn set up a banquet, and asked the chief follower to invite Hu Hanshan. The meal was mainly to discuss the distribution of disaster relief food.

Hu Hanshan had just sat down and hadn't had a sip of tea yet.

Zhao Qingyuan said the countermeasures that he had thought about for a long time: "I don't know what Deputy Envoy Hu thinks about this disaster relief."

Hu Hanshan ignored Zhao Qingyuan, and took a sip of tea by himself: "Yes, this tea is really good, it is considered the top grade of tea."

Yi Cheng thought that he was ingratiating himself to Prime Minister Zuo's eldest son, so he stepped forward to salute: "The post office bought Huangshan pineapple tea for a few dollars, and the young prime minister can just drink it as he pleases."

Hu Hanshan didn't wait for Yi Cheng to finish speaking, with a cold face, he overturned the Eight Immortals table: "The horses in this county let you eat, and the people in Jing County are still eating leaves and bark."

"It's better for you to leave at your leisure, and you're still here to enjoy the big fish and meat, discussing how to share the credit."

Zhao Qingyuan looked at the blue and white glazed folding plate that fell on the ground, his face turned colder, but he laughed in his heart: You have offended the officials of Ningguo Mansion by yourself, let's see who will speak for you.

When Hu Hanshan got angry, Zhao Qingyuan took a cold breath and said: "It's fine to do some stupid things in Jinling to show off your prestige."

"Now that you have left Jinling, no one will spoil you. If you don't hold back your bastard temper, you will delay the major event of disaster relief. You will have to be sent to Jinling for interrogation."

Zhao Qingyuan's words directly entered the minds of Ningguo Mansion officials, reminding Hu Hanshan that he would not protect bureaucrats and gentry, and always wanted to protect those muddy legs.

Ningguo Mansion judged these officials, and they would definitely stand by Zhao Qingyuan's side, and put an end to their thoughts of taking advantage of Zuo Prime Minister Hu Weiyong.

Sure enough, after these words were finished, the Ningguo Mansion officials made a move that they thought Hu Hanshan would regret, and took a few steps closer to the young master Zhao Qingyuan.

The general situation has been decided, and Huang Zicheng began to perform the duties of the Jiangxi master: "As usual, the distribution of disaster relief food should be decided by the parents and officials. The proprietor means that the people in the county should start first."

The officials of Ningguo Mansion understood the meaning of master Huang Zicheng and were very pleased. It seems that the imperial envoys who came this time will not become an obstacle to the officialdom of Ningguo Mansion, preventing the grain merchants in the jurisdiction from hoarding.

As long as the grain merchants are pushed to the front, most of the money will fall into the hands of Ningguo government officials. If something goes wrong, the grain merchants only need to be pushed out as scapegoats.

Officials of the Ningguo Mansion have already regarded Zhao Qingyuan as their own, and this year's carbon and ice tribute to the central officials is indispensable to Nanxionghou.

"My official agrees that the people living in Kuodu County are relatively concentrated, so we can save more people by going to the relief first."

"It should be a good policy for disaster relief, I admire it."

"That's how the matter is finalized. The young prime minister was right to reprimand me. This meal really shouldn't be eaten. I'd better go to Jing County to provide disaster relief as soon as possible."
