Red makeup against the world

Chapter 474
Xu Wenmin naturally knew that this kind of business was managed by the Shangyi Bureau.Even if He Jin is the number two eunuch in the palace, he can't be suppressed by force, and naturally he has to give some benefits.

The reserve price in his heart is [-]%.Forty percent, already lower than his expectations, it seems that this He Jin is a good person and knows how to keep people on the front line, otherwise he would not have climbed to this position.

Immediately nodded readily, "Okay! I will follow your lord's orders."

After negotiating the business, Xu Wenmin asked people to serve snacks such as Four Seasons dried fruits, salt and pepper peanuts, goose palms, and a jar of Fenjiu. The two of them relaxed and drank freely.

If you drink too much, you will naturally talk more.

It turned out that this He Jin was not that ordinary commoner, his father was originally a fourth-rank Beijing official during the late emperor's time.Convicted and beheaded for corruption of ink, his family property was confiscated, and the whole family was locked up to wait for exile.He was only eight years old at that time, and when the palace was selecting servants, he gritted his teeth and signed up.

He was enlightened at the age of four and read some books with his father.Bearing the burden of humiliation in the palace, relying on the ink knowledge in his chest, he climbed to today's position step by step.

These were all Xu Wenmin pieced together based on his few words.

After a drink, the relationship between the two became much closer.Seeing that it was getting dark, Xu Wenmin sent He Jin back to his residence in Beijing.

……

Heavy rain washed against the imperial city, and in the imperial study, Wu Sheng stood proudly.

Behind the dragon table, Emperor Qinglong leaned back slightly, leaning on the back of the dragon chair, with a smile on his lips.Only in front of his trusted confidants would he show such a relaxed look.

"So, you have won a big victory? This three-three formation is interesting. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

"The last general dare not take credit for it," Wu Sheng said neither humble nor overbearing, "Uncle Yongle Wu Uncle found this formation from a volume of military laws at home and gave it to the last general. After several rehearsals, it came into use."

"Bo Yongle? Why is it him?" Emperor Qinglong felt a little headache when he heard this name.

"In order for the Beiya army to win the martial arts performance, he thought of many ways." Wu Sheng said: "Your Majesty, please understand his father's intentions."

"Then what does he want?"

Wu Shengdao: "Uncle Yongle wants to dispatch the team of soldiers who caused the death of his second son to northern Xinjiang, and he will finally ask the emperor for permission."

This was the idea Wu Zhengxiang gave him. It is absolutely unrealistic for Emperor Qinglong to put the perpetrator to death in the life lawsuit caused by the conflict between the two armies.It's better to transfer them out of the Gyeonggi camp, and wait until they arrive in northern Xinjiang, and then take care of them slowly.

Faced with this unreasonable request, Emperor Qinglong only agreed after a little thought.Although he didn't want to see the two armies as close as one family, he also didn't want the conflict between the two armies to continue to escalate.

At this time, making some concessions, just exiling some people, can calm the dissatisfaction of the Beiya Army, and at the same time give Yongle Bo some compensation, which is very cost-effective.

Wu Sheng strode out of the imperial city and brought the news promised by the emperor back to Beiya.

People in the Beiya were encouraged, yesterday's martial arts performance was won, and today those veterans who caused trouble were punished.All of a sudden, the Yamen was full of joy, and they respected Wu Sheng even more as a god for accomplishing this.

Master Mao twitched his beard and said with a smile, "I'll write a letter right away, entrusting my friends in northern Xinjiang to take good care of these veterans."

Everyone echoed, among these honorable children, which family member did not work in front of the border?When this force is mobilized, those people will feel better.

Glancing at the seething people, Wu Sheng winked and asked Master Mao to follow him into the room.

"These soldiers are all serving the country after all. I only want the life of the veteran who caused the accident, and the rest will suffer."

Master Mao cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry about being an old man."

……

A few days later, just as Hao Mingyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, worried, the excessive rain really caused the Yellow River to break its embankment and divert its course.

The Yellow River broke its embankment from Dizhou, diverted its course to the north, and rushed towards Laizhou and Dengzhou.Memorials from the disaster-stricken areas flew to the capital like snowflakes, and the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs were extremely busy.

It's not easy in Luoyang city either.

The heavy rain of the past few days has just stopped, and Luoshui overflowed the embankment in the middle of the night, flooding a piece of houses in the low-lying area.Many people were woken up by water in the middle of the night, panicked.

Fortunately, it has been raining heavily for several days, and Jingzhao Mansion has a plan in advance.Responding in a timely manner, the police officers and the water dragon team were dispatched overnight, and all the people went into battle, rescued these people from the water, and evacuated them to a temporary safe place. No one was killed.

For example, the spacious Guozijian, Fuya, Dabei Temple and other places have taken in many people.Only when the flood recedes can they rebuild their homes.

But these people's belongings were all soaked in the water, and when the flood came up, they only had time to escape with a little gold and silver, so how could they care about their belongings?Eating and drinking water is a problem.

The Jingzhao Mansion drew up a booklet, and Emperor Qinglong quickly approved it, rewarding the messengers who had done meritorious service in protecting the people, and opened warehouses to release grain to help the people affected by the disaster.

As the Yellow River broke its embankment and the Luoshui River spread, all merchant ships stopped shipping.No matter how familiar the old boatmen are with water, they dare not sail on the flooded river.The waterway has been changed, God knows how many deadly whirlpools are hidden under the calm water.

Without the cargo ships going north and south, the price of goods in Luoyang City suddenly rose.

Due to the timely opening of positions, the price of rice remained basically stable.Even if the household department was given a hundred heads, they would not dare to allow the price of rice to soar under Emperor Qinglong's nose.

But for other goods, such as tea, salt, etc., the price is one day, and the price is soaring.The eastern suburbs were flooded, and even fresh fruits and vegetables in the city were now a rarity.

It is midsummer, and once the rain stops, the temperature rises suddenly.The sun shone through thick clouds, and the whole city of Luoyang seemed to be shrouded in a huge hood, making it extremely hot.

Xu Wanzhen checked the warehouse and discussed with Mrs. Xu.

"Grandmother, there are more and more refugees on the street. They all come from the Dizhou area according to their accents, and they fled to the capital to seek a way out, and the government can't control them."

Mrs. Xu nodded: "It's not easy for them. Those who drag their families with them, if they are not desperate, who would want to leave their homes."

"I ordered food from the warehouse, and I want to set up a porridge shop at the door, steam some steamed buns, and help these victims. What does grandma think?"

"How many days can it last?"

Xu Wanzhen shook her head, "It's hard to estimate. If there are many people who come to collect it, it may only last for five or six days. If there are few people, it will be no problem to last for half a month."

"You just go ahead and do it, but remember, your own safety is the most important thing." Mrs. Xu sighed, and said: "Among the victims, there are also those who take advantage of the fire, so don't let that kind of person take advantage of it."

Xu Wanzhen nodded and said: "It's still grandma who is considerate, Zhener will think carefully."

The little maid outside the door said: "Master Su is here."

"It is said that after a catastrophe, there will be a catastrophe. I will invite my little uncle to see if I can make some preventive medicine."
