Poor family mother and son

Chapter 988 Crowdfunding ([-])

Hu Hengqiu looked back at the emperor apologetically, then bowed his head and saluted, and said sternly: "Your Majesty, I got the news last night. The Marquis of Linyang rushed to fight the disaster as soon as he received the news of the storm in the salt field ten days ago, but..."

Emperor: "Just what?"

Hu Hengqiu: "It's just that the storm was too violent. The Marquis of Linyang's boat was swept away by the storm shortly after leaving Linyang County. His life and death are still unknown, and his whereabouts are unknown."

The emperor gasped: "Swept away by the storm?"

Hu Hengqiu replied: "Yes! The fastest way from Linyang County to Ganzhou Prefecture is to take a boat along the coastline, and it takes less than a day to reach Ganzhou Salt Field;
If you go by land, you need to go through Xuanwei Mansion to the north of Ganzhou Mansion, and then go south to the salt field, and it will take four days without stopping;
However, on the second day after Linyanghou disappeared, landslides and mudslides occurred in Xuanwei Mansion and Ganzhou Mansion. The official roads have been blocked, and the trails have even disappeared! "

That is to say, if Marquis of Linyang took the road by land, at best he would be blocked on the road, and if the situation was not good, he might also be buried under mudslides.

Now, the entire hall was full of air-conditioning sounds—"Hiss! Is Lin Yanghou still alive?"

After everyone finished hissing, Hu Hengqiu continued to report: "At present, the Linyanghou Mansion has sent people to search for the whereabouts of Linyanghou;
At the same time, they also opened the Hou Mansion grain depot, moved out all the grain in stock, and transported it to Ganzhou Mansion and Changguang Mansion;
The Linyang County Government also launched a disaster relief donation activity for the whole county. All the people participated, and the poorest families also donated straw sandals and other items;

The Chu family's transportation team also put aside other tasks, dedicated to transporting relief supplies free of charge, and helping to clean up the mountain road;
In addition, although the saltworks in Changguang Mansion and Ganzhou Mansion could not be saved, the workers employed by Marquis Linyang survived. "

The emperor and all the ministers were very surprised, and the emperor asked directly: "They are near the sea, how come there are no casualties?"

Hu Hengqiu: "The first rule of the Linyang Marquis Saltworks Regulations is: in the event of an irresistible event, life should be the first priority, so when they found that the sea was roaring like a landslide, they all withdrew;

At present, they are all actively helping to search and rescue the people in distress. "

Everyone was completely silent, not only speechless, but also afraid to speak again.

Speechless because who would give priority to saving the lives of the employees instead of protecting the owner's property; not daring to speak anymore because Lin Yanghou is doing real things-even if the people have not arrived, the rescue has arrived first.

People can be absent, and assistance is never absent!

Seeing the dead silence in the hall again, Hu Hengqiu seemed to be unable to bear the silence and wanted to make some noise, and said: "Doing things with conscience is more beneficial to the people than doing things with purpose!"

Who are you talking about?Immediately, the censor quit: "Master Hu, who do you say does not act according to conscience and purpose? Why do people live without purpose?"

Hu Hengqiu ignored him for the obvious change of concept, but continued to report to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I won't go home to get money, and the donation will be directly deducted from this month's salary;
The minister will donate this month's salary, and Lumi will also donate, and all of us in the Secret Investigation Department will do the same. Liu Shangshu, please take care of me! "

Hu Hengqiu gave everyone a look: My secret investigation department is doing practical things, I don't play tricks, donate money when I say donations, and donate food when I say donate food.

He looked at the emperor again, as if he was waiting for the emperor's approval, but in fact he was telling the emperor: You don't have to worry about them not paying. If you have a minister to make a sample, you can directly deduct it from the household department. You don't need to receive money or rice this month!

In fact, donating a month's salary is really not a difficult task for these ruling officials.

Daxuan’s salary policy is a double-salary system, which includes grade salary and post salary. Usually, the emperor ordered to punish someone’s salary.

When it comes to rank, the official will be directly demoted.

Therefore, officials will not be able to afford a month's post salary, because there is still a grade salary, and the grade salary is the same as the post salary.

Or say that "everything is inferior, only reading is high", and the iron rice bowl can be served only after studying and taking a test of merit to enter the official career. Once this iron rice bowl is served, it is really "one person gets paid, and the whole family is not hungry".

However, Hu Hengqiu also donated the Lumi of the month, which reminded the emperor: money is easy to raise, but food is the most difficult thing.

The country's grain reserves cannot be counted on the granary in the south, and the whole country is counting on the granary in the north, which is simply not enough to eat.

But is there really no food?Nor is it.

Not to mention anything else, Hu Hengqiu is a fourth-rank official, and his family has two years' worth of food in the warehouse, which means that from now on, if he doesn't receive Lumi, the family's food storage will be enough for two years.

In other prefectures, there are job fields and their own farms, and they basically have enough grain for more than three years, and they will replace it every year, replacing old grain with new grain.

Chen Liang usually takes part of it for public welfare, such as porridge, and sells the rest in grain shops.

No one will starve to death of these officials. If they are corrupt officials, they will hoard more money, food and rice. Isn't there a saying that goes "Three years to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver".

Therefore, what Hu Hengqiu did not only express his strong will to support the disaster area, but also found a way to raise food.

Who the emperor is, he can tell a little bit, so he said: "Hu Aiqing is really a hardworking person, I can't let you compare, so, half of the rice grain sent by Huangzhuang this year will be donated by me and the queen." !"

There are not many lands under the direct control of the royal family in Daxuan, and their uses are relatively single. They are used as experimental fields. If any new grains are reported, the emperor will order them to be tested in Huangzhuang to show his concern.

The output of Huangzhuang is generally used to reward courtiers, which is not enough to support the royal family.

The faces of the ministers were ugly again.

You two, the monarch and his ministers, were blocked by this step by step. First, Hu Hengqiu directly donated the current month's salary and Lumi. The emperor said that it should not exceed one month's monthly salary. Fortunately, you will also fill in the Lumi.

As for the emperor, follow suit and bring out the queen's share. Why, we have to ask the daughter-in-law to donate another share when we go back?

The emperor smiled and looked at his courtiers——that's what I mean!
have to!Don't say anything, just donate, the emperor takes the lead, who dare not follow?Fortunately, it's not too much to donate.

The emperor is very happy, look, I have inspired you to donate bit by bit, not to mention the more donations, and it is still unreasonable, if it is still not enough for disaster relief, I still have room for the second wave, the first wave three waves.

Not only that, but I just had a flash of inspiration and dragged the queen to me. Now not only will you go home and let the back house do your best, but my harem will definitely "share my worries", how good it is!
The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the top and bottom are united, the country is peaceful and the people are safe!
At this time, Eunuch Li came forward to report in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the team of the Fourth Prince has reached thirty miles outside Beijing."

Chinese New Year is approaching, and the jade mines in the country of Vos have already passed the mining period. The fourth prince came back so late, and it seems that he got a lot of money.

Back then when Chu Qing offered ten thousand catties of jade, the emperor didn't send anyone to meet him, and the fourth prince just went out on an errand, so he didn't have to go to pick him up.

But as a royal father, he always has to go back to the palace and wait for his son to come back to pay his respects.Besides, I haven't seen him for a year, and I really miss this son a little bit.

Isn't there a common saying in the folks, far away is fragrant and near is stinky.

On weekdays, he doesn't pay much attention to this fourth son, it's really because his mother and concubine are too utilitarian, and they are a little mercenary in raising a good prince, and they are a little too arrogant.

But I haven't seen each other for a long time, after all, they are father and son, and they are always connected.

The emperor glanced at the sky outside the palace, and when the time had passed, he gave Eunuch Li a look - it was getting late and there were not many people, so it was time to do something serious.

So Eunuch Li announced loudly, "Retire!"
