Kowloon wins

Chapter 145 It's all the fault of the Yellow River ([-])
Chinese people have always had the habit of joining in the fun, this is the quintessence of the country, even if you are as expensive as the third master, you can't avoid it. The problem is that some people can join in the fun, and some people will be in trouble if they get involved. How big it is, but Hong Qing knows it well. Once this big storm hits, as long as the elder brother who stays in the capital, no one can escape it, even if the third master himself does not owe money to the treasury, But there are many people trapped in those slaves and relatives and friends.

Obviously, even if the third master wants to hide and watch the fun, he can't do it, but if he really wants to get involved, let's not talk about whether he can profit from it, even if he can, it will inevitably violate the taboo of the old man, and it is not good to have no land and work hard In Hong Qing's view, the best policy is to walk, but it's not easy for him to say this himself, nothing else, the third master is a very decent master, as a son, he can occasionally give advice to the old man , if everything has to be arranged for him, then it will definitely plant the root of disaster. Maybe the third master will not care about it at the time, but he will definitely keep it in his heart. He will come out in due time. If it goes wrong, it will be a big mistake. Hong Qing was unwilling to do such a thankless task. Because of this, Hong Qing did not intend to answer the third master's question in person, but cast her eyes on Old Master Chen.

"go!"

Old Master Chen obviously saw the hidden meaning in Hong Qing's gaze, he only raised his brows, and said a word concisely.

"Let's go? Master means..."

Hearing what old master Chen said, the third master couldn't help being taken aback, frowned and thought for a while, but still couldn't understand it, so he had to tentatively ask half of what he said.

"Courtiers are not the only ones involved in the deficit of the national treasury. The same is true for local governments. If you really want to pay off your debts, the momentum is definitely not small, and the branches are spreading. It is difficult to be alone. Instead of being in a dilemma, it is better to find another way. Leaving Beijing for the time being, you can sit Look at the storm."

Old Master Chen nodded indifferently, and explained in a casual manner.

"Well……"

Although Mrs. Chen didn't say much, the meaning inside was very clear. The third master can understand it, but what he understands is what he understands. Facing this kind of fish in troubled waters that may make a lot of money This is a good opportunity, and the third master is really reluctant to be a visitor. In view of this, the third master hesitated and pondered for a long time, but he couldn't really make a decision.

"Father Wang Mingjian, my child thinks what the master said is true. Today, the capital may become a whirlpool. It is the best choice to stay out of it."

With the old master's opening, Hong Qing could naturally expand on the following words, but he was not in a hurry to say what was in his heart, but echoed sincerely.

"My lord, my subordinates think what the master said is not unreasonable. Instead of drifting in chaos, it's better to stand on the shore. This is the way to win in sincerity."

Now that Hong Qing had opened her mouth, Li Minquan didn't dare to neglect her, and rushed to echo her.

"Well, that's fine. It's just that the current situation is ambiguous. If you leave the capital with an excuse, you may be criticized. If Huang Ama takes the blame, it's not good. After all, you need to have a proper regulation."

Seeing that Hong Qing and the others agreed so much, the third master couldn't stand his own opinion anymore, so he nodded and agreed, but he still had a lot of doubts about how to leave the capital.

"Father, don't worry. This matter is easy to hear. Now that the Yellow River has burst its embankment, relief is urgently needed. Father can recommend it himself. There is absolutely no reason why the emperor will not allow it."

Hong Qing already had a plan in mind, seeing the embarrassment of the third master at this moment, she couldn't help but smiled, and answered quickly.

"Well, this can be done, but there is no bank in the household department, and it may be difficult to do the embankment. What should I do?"

Hearing Hong Qing's words, the third master's eyes lit up at first, but soon dimmed. He obviously didn't think that the governor of Henan would be an easy task.

"Father, don't worry, my child thinks that this matter can be used to make some contributions. First, it can make an indelible contribution, and second, it can also set up a situation for the situation in the capital. It should be a good thing that kills two birds with one stone."

Relief in Henan is indeed not a good job, but Hong Qing has other considerations, so she plans to dig a big hole and leave the brothers in Beijing.

"Oh? How can you see it?"

The third master was stable by nature, and he wasn't a person who liked to take risks. Hearing Hong Qing speak so confidently, he immediately regained his energy, and the tone of asking questions seemed a little impatient.

"Father Wang Mingjian, this matter seems to be possible..., if it is arranged in this way, it may have a miraculous effect."

Hong Qing quickly sorted out her thoughts, and explained the strategy she was thinking in detail. The ingenious conception immediately caused everyone in the room to be amazed.

"Okay, then it's settled. Tomorrow morning, the king will immediately recommend himself!"

The more the third master thought about it, the more he felt that the strategy Hong Qing said was feasible, and in a good mood, he actually took a picture of himself and made a decision with great interest...

Two flowers bloomed, each showing one branch, not to mention that the third master had made a plan to dig a hole for all the brothers to jump in, but he said that the fourth master who had just learned of the Yellow River's embankment was also in his house. In the study room, he was discussing matters with his confidants, but fourth master's expression was obviously not as relaxed as third master's, not to mention gloomy, his brows were also wrinkled into a big "Chuan".

"The national treasury owes a lot now, and it happened to encounter such a disaster, what should we do?"

With a solemn expression, the fourth master gave a brief account of the report sent to Beijing by the governor of Henan, Rong Zhu, and then sighed with worry - it has been more than a month since the fourth master took over the household department. Apart from daily affairs, he only did One thing is to check the country's silver inventory, and the results are shocking. The supposed 300 million taels of silver are actually short of nearly half. After calculating the whole country's game of chess, the amount of this loss has to be increased by a few percent, and now the actual silver deposit is only less than [-] million taels, which is extremely difficult to meet the daily expenses of the court. When the Yellow River broke its embankment, the fourth master was already struggling. Although the old man hadn't asked about it, the fourth master had to make preparations early.

"Fourth master, don't worry, your majesty really wants to ask, just tell the truth, but there are so many people in the court borrowing treasury silver to spend their days, if this wind doesn't stop, the country will be in trouble, with your majesty's sageness, he will definitely not sit idly by. It is inevitable to clear the debts, since the fourth master is in the household department, responsibility is unavoidable, but it is also possible to be brave in doing things."

Dai Duo is now the chief counselor in the fourth master's house, so he knows the real situation of the household department and how difficult it is to catch up with him, but in his opinion, this matter must be done with all his strength, not only It is a great opportunity to share the worries for the Holy One, and it is also a great opportunity for the fourth master to show his loyalty. Even if things fail, with such a courageous performance, he will definitely add a lot of impression points to the fourth master.

"Well, this can be done, and I am confident that I can do it. However, paying off the debt is something later. The current embankment collapse is tricky. What can Spring Breeze teach me?"

Fourth Master has long planned to pay off the national treasury, but this matter is too involved, and if no one is fully prepared, Fourth Master really dare not move lightly. At this moment, when he answered Dai Duo's proposal, he seemed to be full of confidence. In fact, he hadn't made his final decision yet, so after a few vague words, he changed the topic.

"Fourth Lord has learned from you. This servant thinks this is a great opportunity. As long as you deal with it properly, it may really solve the treasury's calamity."

Dai Duo has followed Fourth Master for many years, so he has a deep understanding of Fourth Master's temperament. He could tell that Fourth Master was still hesitating, so he smiled and made an astonishing conclusion.

"Oh? Spring Breeze, please tell me in detail."

Right now, all the grown-up brothers have resigned, and they all threw off their arms and started to work hard. The fourth master is not to be outdone, and urgently needs an opportunity to break through the siege. Hearing Dai Duo's words at this moment, his interest immediately increased He grew up, but when he saw his eyebrows raised, he asked a question in surprise.

"There is nothing strange about this matter. The river construction is under the responsibility of the Ministry of Works. Now that the Yellow River has broken its embankment, how can the Ministry of Works be blameless? Somebody will definitely criticize the prince of Chengjun for this in the court. If If it can be planned properly, it seems that the third master can be included in it, and the fourth master will be happy to see it succeed, and if this is the case..., maybe the third master can be the fourth master to help you out of the fire, so why worry about the uncertainty?"

Dai Duo smiled confidently, and explained the strategy he was thinking about. Naturally, the idea was to dig a hole for the third master to jump.

"Well, Master, do you think it's possible?"

It's a big matter, and although Fourth Master can be considered a decisive person, he didn't dare to make up his mind lightly. After pondering silently for a while, he threw the question to Master Wen Jue who was sitting by the side.

"Amitabha, goodness, goodness. This strategy of wearing a benefactor will not only solve the disasters of the victims in Henan, but also pave the way for the great affairs of the fourth master, and even sell the favor of the thirteenth master. It can be said to kill three birds with one stone."

Master Wen Jue obviously agreed with Dai Duo's suggestion very much. As soon as the Buddha's name was proclaimed, he showed his support without hesitation.

"Well, the strategy is a good strategy, but if the third brother refuses to do it, what should we do?"

Hearing that Master Wen Jue also agreed with Dai Duo's strategy, Fourth Master's heart moved, but he didn't dare to speak lightly about whether he could successfully put Third Master into the case.

"Fourth master, please rest assured, unless the third master is willing to put the handicraft department on the other side, otherwise, even if he knows it's a trap, he can only jump down with his eyes closed. Fourth master, please wait and see."

Dai Duo had obviously planned everything out long ago. Hearing what Fourth Master said, he immediately chuckled, and the language must have given the answer incomparably.

"Well, whatever, let's make a decision first, wait until tomorrow morning, and make a decision according to the situation."

The fourth master pondered for a long time with his face changing, and at the end, although he still had doubts, he still couldn't stop his enthusiasm for making meritorious deeds, so he blurted out a sentence with twinkling eyes.

"Fourth master is wise."

Dai Duo can barely be regarded as a wise man in the world, so he can tell that the ambiguity of the fourth master at this time is completely different from the previous ambiguity, but he dare not point it out, so he just respectfully salutes, his face full of understanding Unspoken smile.
