The Path of the Peasant Girl

Chapter 179 Chapter 178
The emperor saw him singing, reciting, beating and shouting a lot, and thought of the conditions he just raised, he was very satisfied. This Fu Yuanzhi really has a good eye.

He originally wanted to send him to Xining for disaster relief, and let him build Xining at his own expense.

The emperor started his own soap business and knew how big the profit was. He really wanted to get those profits back, but this thing was the recipe and technology provided by Fu Yuanzhi. He is very disrespectful to cross the river and demolish the bridge.

Besides, Marquis Ningyuan and Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, he also wanted to kick out these two families, but these two families were deeply affected, with a huge family behind them.So you have to think carefully, and you can't follow his ideas.

Fu Yuanzhi was different. His relationship with Duke Zhen was as clear as a mirror in his heart. It was not harmonious at all, let alone defending him.It's not that it can't be maintained, but that maintenance requires him to pay a price, for example-return.

The emperor could have taken and robbed him, but Fu Yuanzhi took the initiative to let him out to avoid a lot of trouble, and he didn't have to think about it all the time, it didn't affect his reputation for benevolence, and he sent people out without any trouble.

It's just three years' profit, give it to him!
The emperor smiled, but didn't agree directly. If he agreed directly, it wouldn't appear that he had this idea long ago, and people could see how embarrassing he was.

The two refused for a while, and after a few more words, the emperor borrowed the slope to get off the donkey: "Okay, I will do what you say, this is what you begged, remember."

"Yes, yes, I begged you." Fu Yuanzhi said in a good voice, cursing inwardly, who the hell is begging you, damn feudal imperial power.

Forget it, he is also an oppressed lower class, and he has to correct his position.

"Then how much relief money the emperor intends to give me, it can't be too little, too little and the people's life will be difficult, the emperor, you can't bear it."

"Hmph, am I that stingy person?" The emperor hummed from his nose.

"Yes, you are rich and generous." Fu Yuanzhi said with a smile, "Then how much money do you give?"

Keep talking about this, no, and don't say a specific number, who knows how many there will be by then.

"How about 10 taels?" the emperor said.

Fu Yuanzhi opened his mouth wide in shock: "What? In such a big county, not only food, but also seeds, cattle, and all kinds of aftermath affairs are needed. One hundred thousand dollars is enough for what?"

What's the use of 10 taels everywhere for the recovery of a county?

The emperor stroked his tightly frowning eyebrows: "Don't think too little, there is no money in the treasury now, 10 taels of silver, I finally got it from the Ministry of Households, and the Minister of the Ministry of Households quarreled with me so much." Let's make a deal. It is said that the canals will be collected in the south, and there are still precautions. Nanzhao Kingdom still has a relationship with the grassland, and it is not very harmonious. One hundred thousand pieces of silver are squeezed out from between the teeth, so you can be content. If you do anything else, Not even a hundred thousand."

Speaking of this, the emperor also felt a little sad.

Fu Yuanzhi said: "There is no money in the national treasury, but there is money in Your Majesty's small treasury, so Your Majesty, can you take out a little bit from your private pocket and give us a little more money for the people of Xining, I will do it for you. The people thank you."

"Hmph, as long as you speak good words, who doesn't know that money is hard to earn? You have to pay for it."

The emperor said angrily: "It seems that there is a lot of money in my servant's treasury, but in fact, the money is useful, so you should stop thinking about it. I tell you, don't even think about it."

What the emperor said was slipping away, he didn't give him a chance at all, and his attitude was very firm, which made Fu Yuanzhi understand at once that it was impossible to withdraw money from his treasury.

So he settled for the next best thing, Fu Yuanzhi said: "If you don't have money, then give me something else, some grain, and some grain seeds. If there is no grain seed in Xining, then the grain for this year will be over." .”

This is possible, the emperor said: "Okay, I will give you grain seeds. If it is grain, I will give you ten carts. If there is no more, you can find a way by yourself."

As the emperor said, he recovered with a heartbroken expression, and knew that there was nothing else to be deducted.

So Fu Yuanzhi also resigned to his fate, and readily agreed: "Okay, since Your Majesty has already mentioned this point, then I will take these things with me."

"However, I applied to take the [-] pieces of silver and the grain and seeds myself. This is better than handing over the money and grain directly to me without going through layers of exploitation."

"You know, there are 10 pieces of silver in the pineapple in the imperial court, but how can the people who spend it on it have 10 taels?"

Layers upon layers of institutions come down, and every time an institution passes by, a layer of oil and water is hung, and finally falls on the common people.

Fu Yuanzhi knew that his words were very big, and he dared to say before the emperor got angry: "If I bring money and grain, I can use all the money and grain on the people of Xining, but if you continue to spread the money like this, every layer of institutions will be stripped off a little bit. , how many fell into the pockets of the common people, then it is hard to say."

"I can guarantee that every cent of the money will be used for the people. You can send an official to keep the accounts with me."

"Or you can send two officials, and give me a few hidden guards, and send you back the situation of the disaster relief at any time."

"Yes, I beg Your Majesty to send someone to accompany me, to send loyal officials and secret guards you can trust."

When the emperor heard it, he kept rolling his eyes at the beginning. How could he take the earthquake disaster funds with him on the road, he can't stick to the manufacture at any time, who knows what he did with the money?
Hearing what he said behind him, his complexion slowly recovered. Thinking carefully about the meaning revealed in Fu Yuanzhi's words, the emperor couldn't help but fell silent.

This is indeed the best way to ensure that officials do not take advantage of their positions, enrich their personal pockets, embezzle money, and maximize the effect of these earthquake disaster money and goods.

If the people he sent to record Fu Yunzhi's actions and see good results, then other places can use this method to do it in the future.

"Your Majesty, just agree, or you can convert the ten carts of grain into money and give it to me."

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

Fu Yuanzhi said: "The transportation of grain requires money, carts and horses, and the grain occupies a large area. Think about it, how much manpower and material resources will it take to transport the money from here? Why don't you give me the silver ticket, and I will go to a place close to Xining Exchange money, and then buy food from the county town near Xining or Fucheng, and then there will be much less stuff to transport.”
