Domineering husband

Chapter 131 Sheng Hong Just Wants to Hear His Opinion and Donate Money

"Your Majesty, this humble minister's method sounds ridiculous at first, but who makes all your princes outstanding? Even if you choose with your eyes closed, the princes you send out will definitely be able to rescue the flood disaster beautifully for you. "

Li Qiao still looked innocent.

Just kidding, he can complain about the third and fifth princes in private, but how dare he speak the truth in front of his own father.

Besides, the last time the fifth prince came to look for Sheng Hong, the conversation between the father and son was finally known by the seventh prince, who then informed him.

This shows that Qiuxian Hall is not airtight, what he said here today can be spread out tomorrow.

Forget it, he is a little fifth-rank official, so he won't get involved in this matter.

He didn't believe that Sheng Hong really couldn't make up his mind.

Sheng Hong was sitting behind the court case. Hearing Li Qiao's glamorous flattery, he couldn't help reaching out and nodding him: "It's about millions of disaster victims, but you won't tell me the truth? You give it to those concubines in the Imperial Academy?" You really just said what Ji Shi said in class?" "

You are the pillar of talent picked out by me, why don't you even tell the truth about this kind of thing?"

Li Qiao: "..."

Good guy.

Give him value.

He showed embarrassment: "My lord, I really don't know the two princes." "

Then, based on the little information you have learned, who do you think is suitable?" Sheng Hong asked again.

"..."

Is it necessary for him to give an answer?

It took a lot of effort before he swallowed back the sentence that came to his lips. How about you look at the fourth prince or the sixth prince.

It seems that Sheng Hong only intends to choose from the third and fifth princes.

These two are really inappropriate.

As far as he knew, the third and fifth princes hadn't really done anything important in recent years.

Moreover, in his dispute with the Duke of England, the fifth prince showed only aloofness.

Can such a fifth prince really consider for the common people?

There is also the third prince, he is really afraid that after the third prince arrives in the disaster area, he will brainwash the victims first, so that the victims will remember that they owe him, or he is too busy wooing local officials to pay attention to disaster relief.

His worry is not his own thinking.

Just look at Lord Lu, just an ordinary fifth-rank official, the third prince can put his side concubine's concubine sister in his place.

If he went to the four southern mansions and saw the officials in these places, would the third prince be able to resist not making friends?

But now Sheng Hong only asks these two princes...

Is Sheng Hong planning to take this opportunity to train the two princes?

Before someone submitted a paper to ask for the crown prince, Sheng Hong just suppressed the paper and did not reprimand him.

In the past few months, the two princes have put their disputes on the surface, and officials from the court and China have stood in line one after another. Sheng Hong seems to have not seen this series of things.

Sheng Hong must have acquiesced.

The last time Sheng Hong was ill for a month, it should be that Sheng Hong himself was afraid, so he had to choose an heir carefully.

The third prince was born by the empress, and the fifth prince was born by Concubine Dong Gui. Sheng Hong wanted to exercise the prince's ability, but he couldn't avoid these two princes no matter what.

Since he had to choose one of the third and fifth princes...

He raised his eyebrows and said seriously, "According to the little information I have learned, I think it is better to send the two princes to the disaster area."

"Send them all?" Sheng Hong was a little surprised and raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, you wrote an article before, recalling that you were ordered by the Supreme Emperor to go to Dongshan Province for disaster relief before you ascended the Great Treasure. At that time, the Yellow River in Dongshan Province burst its embankment, and that time you saw half-grown crops soaked in water. I saw the houses destroyed by the flood, and I also saw groups of helpless and displaced victims." "

If the two princes went to the disaster area in person and saw the tragedy you saw back then, they would step on the ground like you did. In the mud, after returning to Beijing, I will definitely show compassion for the people like you, and love the people like a son."

Li Qiao moved out a small essay written by Sheng Hong to explain his point of view.

If it is necessary to choose one of these two princes, it is better to let both of them go, at least they can supervise each other.

But when Sheng Hong heard this, he snorted and laughed: "You are scolding them for not caring about the common people now, and for not loving the people like a son.

" Even a humble minister dare not scold the prince."

Li Qiao immediately showed a look of sincerity and fear when he heard this.

"That's all, as you said, let them both go. I was really touched when I went to the disaster area. Those scenes have never been forgotten." "I hope they can also see the suffering

of the people ." In the eyes, imprinted in the brain."

Sheng Hong sighed slightly as he spoke, agreeing to Li Qiao's proposal.

Li Qiao: "?"

His eyes widened instantly.

"Well, Your Majesty... are you really going to send the two princes to the disaster area?" "

Yes, isn't that what you just proposed?" Sheng Hong asked back.

"This...how about you think again? How dangerous is the front line, and there may be a plague after the flood, why don't you send a few more ministers who can run errands for the two princes? The safety of the two princes is the most important thing. Li

Qiao tentatively proposed again.

These two princes are so unreliable in their affairs, if they don't send a few ministers who can really handle affairs with them, the people in the disaster area will be miserable.

Li Qiao didn't want to delay the reconstruction of the homes of the people in the disaster area because of his nonsense.

"What you said is reasonable. Besides, there are many disaster-hit places this time. If you only rely on the two of them, if you want to resettle all the people affected by the disaster, it may take a long time." Sheng Hong nodded, and agreed

again Accepted Li Qiao's proposal.

Li Qiao: "..."

His opinion seemed so important.

What kind of medicine is sold in Sheng Hong's gourd?

Naturally, Sheng Hong would not explain his doubts, Li Qiao could only leave the palace in a daze.

However, thinking of the behavior of the two princes, he couldn't help but pray in his heart that Sheng Hong would send more stable officials. At this time, Shengjing was peaceful and lively, but millions of people who were hit by the flood were homeless. Can't sleep at night.

well.

After leaving the palace and returning to the Hanlin Academy, what should Li Qiao do? When it was time to get off work, he got off work and went home on time.

The weather was cooler, but Tao Zhu still came to pick him up. Looking at Tao Zhu's familiar smiling face, he got into the bullock cart, closed the door of the bullock cart, and then took Tao Zhu's body, which was one size smaller than him, into his arms.

"Let me hug you."

Leaning against the carriage of the ox cart, Li Qiao hugged Tao Zhu tightly in his arms, and let out a long breath.

"What's wrong?" Tao Zhu immediately asked with concern while stretching out his hand to hug his shoulder.

"I just think it's not easy for the people in the disaster area. I didn't save much for my entire life, but when it rained heavily, all that little property disappeared." There was no money in the treasury, and Sheng Hong couldn't compensate the people for their losses at the original price

.

What Sheng Hong can do is to exempt the tax for three years, and then distribute some grain, seeds, and a little money so that the affected people can rebuild their houses and replant crops.

For the remaining losses, those affected people can only consider themselves unlucky.

In fact, it is very good for Sheng Hong to achieve this point. The treasury is empty, but Da Sheng has to spend money everywhere. Even if Sheng Hong wants to compensate at the original price, he has no ability.

However, behind these four words, there are vivid people behind the millions of disaster victims.

That's how he cheered up.

What's more, the third prince and the fifth prince may not know what to do with this errand...

Sigh.

Does Sheng Hong have to choose between these two princes?

Can't it be changed to the fourth prince or the sixth prince?

Tao Zhu didn't know that Li Qiao was worried about the third and fifth princes. Hearing Li Qiao's words, he couldn't help asking about the details of the disaster area.

He himself has never experienced a flood, but through Li Qiao's description, he can imagine that scene.

What's more, he has lived a good life for a few years, and he has never forgotten the hard life in the Tao family.

Just imagine, if the Tao family he worked so hard to support was washed away by a flood, and the only food he had, the one hundred and sixty-nine copper coins he managed to save, were all gone, then he really wanted to die I have my heart.

After thinking for a while, he asked, "Can we donate food and clothing to the people in the disaster area?" "

...Not for now, let's not get out of the limelight."

Li Qiao shook his head.

He is a small fifth-rank official, if he donates, will the other officials donate?

If other officials follow suit, then 80% of them will put the account on his head.

"Can this be regarded as being in the limelight?" Tao Zhu pursed his mouth and frowned.

"Yeah, who made us not ordinary people now."

Li Qiao said and patted him on the back lightly: "Don't think about these things, it will only increase your troubles. What did you do today?" "

... ...Today, I'm going to play with Xiaorui on the skateboard at home."

Tao Zhu's voice was very low, and after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but bury his cheek in Li Qiao's neck.

The people in the disaster area are suffering. He has been playing roller coaster for a long time today, and the joys and sorrows are too great. He is too embarrassed to talk to Li Qiao at the moment.

Li Qiao understood what he was thinking, smiled and patted him on the back: "This world is full of suffering. If we keep focusing on suffering, we will not be able to survive this day.

" , we have our own lives to live."

"Well..." Tao Zhu answered as softly as a mosquito, his mouth was still pursed, and after hesitating for a while, he couldn't help but said: "We really shouldn't be in the limelight, so can you Go to the Holy Majesty and donate food and clothing quietly?" "

No, the movement of food and clothing is too big, why don't you just donate the banknotes directly? Leave it to the Holy One, how about it?"

Li Qiao: "..."

"How is it?"

Seeing that he didn't answer, Tao Zhu urged him.

"Tomorrow, I'll ask the Holy Majesty." Li Qiao said immediately.

This behavior is... stupid.

Really silly.

The world belongs to Sheng Hong, not their husband and wife. They don't have to do good deeds to act like thieves.

But Tao Zhu like this made him soft-hearted and made him want to hug him well.

His bamboo brother is too kind.

In the afternoon of the next day, Li Qiao entered the palace to see Sheng Hong.

After becoming a fifth-rank official, if he wanted to enter the palace to meet Sheng Hong, he could hand over the sign. If Sheng Hong was willing to see him, then he could meet Sheng Hong.

Sheng Hong is a vigorous and resolute person. Last night, he issued an imperial decree to let the third and fifth princes set off overnight to the disaster area to preside over the local disaster relief work.

Sheng Hong's decree was beyond everyone's expectations, and no one thought that he would send the two princes out.

The third and fifth princes didn't expect either, but the imperial decree had been issued, they hurriedly packed their luggage and rushed to the disaster area with light clothes.

In addition to the two of them, Sheng Hong also sent four ministers to go together, one of whom was a cabinet scholar.

Li Qiao is quite satisfied with this list, even if the third and fifth princes are unreliable, but with these four ministers, there should be no troubles in the disaster area.

Qiuxian Hall.

"Li Aiqing, why are you here today?"

Sheng Hong was reading the brochure, he raised his eyelids and glanced at Li Qiao.

"Your Majesty, my minister came home from duty yesterday, and told Fulang about the people affected by the disaster. Fulang couldn't bear the suffering of the people in the disaster area and wanted to donate some money, but he didn't want to say anything, so this minister came to see His Majesty, wanting to quietly Hearing

this, Sheng Hong was very surprised, put down the memorial in his hand, looked at Li Qiao for a few seconds, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Your husband wants to donate, so do you want to donate?" Is it?"

"I am willing to donate. However, I have a lot of worries, so I didn't say it yesterday." Li Qiao replied honestly.

As a modern person, when encountering such a thing, the first reaction in my mind is to donate money.

But he can't donate at will now.

"You want to do some practical things for the common people, but you have a lot of worries. This is actually my fault. From now on, whatever you think in your heart, just say it out. This Hall of Seeking Virtue is not said to be impenetrable, but it can still be kept secret from you."

Sheng Hong laughed and said, "Li Aiqing, how much money do you and your husband plan to donate to the people in the disaster area?"

What kind of shit luck did he have, Li Aiqing and his wife were actually singled out in this imperial examination.

pillars.

A true pillar of prosperity!

This is exactly what he needs!

Li Qiao: "..."

Can it really be kept secret?

But since he's here, he won't consider keeping it secret.

Looking at the smile on Sheng Hong's face, he was silent for a second, and then said: "Weichen and his wife are willing to donate the proceeds of last year's vermicelli, a total of two hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver." This is the result of a night of discussion between him and

Tao Zhu .

Now that he has made such a foolish act of quietly donating money, the tens of thousands of taels is too little to take out. After all, even 220,000 taels can't do much.

It is better to donate more, one is to help more people, and the other is to impress Sheng Hong.

Since the money has been spent, it can't really just help others without thinking about him and Tao Zhu.

With Sheng Hong's personality, he definitely wouldn't take the money for nothing.

After Li Qiao's words fell, Sheng Hong couldn't help taking pictures of the case.

Li Aiqing and his wife are magnificent!

This number is much higher than he imagined.

He thought that if Li Aiqing and his wife could donate 50,000 taels, it would be enough, but who knew it would be 220,000 taels of silver!

If the two hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver were shared equally among all the victims, then each victim would get two hundred and twenty Wen.

Not a lot, really a lot.

And if you use it to buy food, you can buy a lot of food.

"Li Aiqing, I thank you husband and wife on behalf of the people in the disaster area. Don't worry, I will spend all of this money on the people in the disaster area, and I will never let anyone be greedy." He promised

Li Qiao with a serious face.

"You and Lao Qi have a good relationship, so how about I let Lao Qi take your money to the disaster area in person, how about it?" "Let the

Holy Majesty decide, the Seventh Prince will handle the affairs, I don't worry."

Li Qiao said hurriedly.

Now he is really relieved.

The Seventh Prince is not afraid of the Third and Fifth Princes, and is even jealous. If these two princes want to cause trouble, then the Seventh Prince will never let these two princes do what they want.

Before the Seventh Prince left, he specially came to say goodbye to Li Qiao and Tao Zhu.

Unexpectedly, a smile appeared on his face.

He also asked someone to donate some silver, and made up 300,000 taels.

Although he is a prince, but in terms of earning ability and family savings, he is absolutely inferior to Li Qiao.

It's great that Dasheng has a couple like Li Qiao and Tao Zhu.

Very very good.

But, how could this couple have a friend like Meng Yue?

Headache.

If it wasn't for the sake of the couple, he would have already killed that idiot.

He did go to Beijing for a change of mind.

He needs to calm down.
