Blessed wife descends from heaven

Chapter 266

"Baozhu, don't be restrained and anxious. In private, you should call the queen mother grandma." Xu Shi was both happy and sad when he saw the queen mother, worried that she would not be able to bear it, so the queen hurriedly cheered for the queen mother and looked up Kindly explain to Lin Baozhu who is sitting down.

Hearing the empress's words suddenly made her dumbfounded even more than what Lin Baozhu heard from Madam Liang, and she didn't know how to accept it.Looking at the expectant eyes of the Queen Mother and the encouraging and gentle comfort from the Empress Dowager, she opened her mouth but didn't know what to do.

"Queen Mother, according to my concubine, Baozhu is overjoyed, and I can't recall it for a while. Why don't you first hear why Baozhu entered the palace this time? After all, the future will last forever. After all, I can figure out the relationship with you."

After all, I am used to seeing things, the queen's words can be regarded as a solution to the sudden embarrassment of several people.Therefore, Lin Baozhu also changed the topic according to the trend, and did not mention the matter of her mother, so naturally she skipped the link of acquaintance with the Queen Mother.

To be honest, she didn't know how to deal with an old man Zhao, and if there was another empress dowager, if she really recognized her, she would have to have other relatives of the emperor.In this way, not to mention too much involved, maybe it will not be of any benefit to my own man.

So, she naturally made up her mind and delayed the matter of admitting relatives first.As for the rest, we will talk about it later.

"Returning to your mother, the minister's wife came this time to say hello to her, and to see the emperor." Lin Baozhu stood up and saluted, then continued after a pause, "Although Zhang Ji belongs to the minister's wife, it is After all, it belongs to the Great Zhou, and now that the south of the Yangtze River is suffering and the people are suffering, Zhang Ji is willing to contribute a small amount of effort, just to help the emperor and the court to solve the problems."

As soon as her words fell, she saw the emperor walking behind him, and happened to hear her words.After paying respects to the Empress Dowager, he immediately sat aside, served the tea brought by the palace servants, and looked at Lin Baozhu for a while.However, he couldn't see any similarities between her and that one. If it wasn't for the fact that the news from the secret guard could not be faked, he would never have thought that she would have such a daughter with such a delicate heart.

Seemingly realizing that his thoughts had gone far away, the emperor's face darkened a little, and after a while he sighed and said: "The crown prince is the prince of the Great Zhou, and the Lord Protector is a general I trust. It is indeed my sincerity to ask him to protect the crown prince's safety." The meaning is not to take the opportunity to get rid of the Duke Protector."

He has been able to sit on the throne for many years, how can he fail to understand Lin Baozhu's worries and the real reason for handing over Zhang Ji?However, he is not a tyrant. Even if he was afraid of a lot at the beginning, most of them were for the purpose of stabilizing the Great Zhou Dynasty.Just like what happened to the Zhao family, if the situation at that time could not support a puppet who could obey him, even the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River would not be able to survive in peace.

He admitted that there were many involved in that year, including the Zhang family.He even single-handedly pushed the woman who was connected with him into a desperate situation.But now, the country is peaceful and the people are peaceful, and the situation in the court is not as unpredictable as before. How could he cut off an excellent property of Dazhou at will?

What's more, if Taoshuwan Zhang Ji's method is feasible, it will only benefit the people of Dazhou in the future.He has expectations for Taoshuwan, like a prince.

Now that he has passed the time to open up the territory, but the prince is at the age of enthusiasm. If the prince is in power, with the backing of a place with rich food, grass and financial resources like Taoshuwan, Da Zhou will probably go to a higher level.

"Besides, don't worry, I know your scruples, but I will tell you the truth today, I will never stand still in the Jiangnan epidemic area. Now the imperial doctor and the imperial doctor have already set off, and they are coming out of the capital. The medicinal materials will be in place soon. If you have the heart, why bother to take the risk yourself, instead it makes people worry, it is better to prepare food, grass and medicinal materials in the rear to supply the disaster area." In fact, what the emperor said was not only for Lin Baozhu Listen, he also told the Queen Mother.He was grateful for the Queen Mother's devotion to him, but he couldn't solve the Queen Mother's knot. Now that the Queen Mother values ​​Lin Baozhu, and Lin Baozhu is the only blood of the Zhao family, it is not suitable for taking risks.

In the end, Lin Baozhu finally got the order to allow her to leave the capital, but she still went south after returning to Taoshuwan, but the emperor didn't give her an accurate word.It's possible that everything went according to her will, but Lin Baozhu was a little at a loss.

Back in the mansion, Lin Baozhu discussed with everyone and decided to go back to Taoshuwan to prepare.If there is any more bad news, or if Zhang Mandun can no longer be found, let's talk about going south.After all, no matter what you do, you have to prepare first.

As Zhang Ji sent truckloads of food and medicine to the disaster area, the family finally received the letter from Zhang Mandun's family that he had not sent back for a long time.Only then did I know that the officials and bandits colluded and robbed the relief money several times. In addition, the flood was caused by the instability of the river dam and some people filled their own pockets. Therefore, the prince ordered a strict investigation.After some investigation, the prince has become more than just a thorn in the side of many people?It simply makes those people wish they could eat their flesh and drink their blood.

Due to various reasons, he joined forces with the prince to act, only as if his whereabouts were unknown in the epidemic area, and his life and death were unknown.The purpose was just to get the golden cicada out of its shell, firstly to protect himself, and secondly, to be able to shoot those people back. Naturally, he also cut off the news from the same family.

But now, with the continuous supply of medicinal materials from the imperial court and Zhang Ji, the epidemic has already been brought under control.Nowadays, people who are not yet in good health feel grateful to the court and Zhang Ji. Whenever they disinfect or work according to the doctor's instructions, they are full of vitality.

The jobs in those messy places are also rushed to do. Knowing that the court and Da Zhou have not given up on them, and knowing that there is hope of survival, who would be lazy and play tricks?

Seeing that her man had news, Lin Baozhu was so happy that she was about to cry.These days, she was going to suffocate her to death, she didn't dare to speak or cry, and spent every day desperately trying to figure out what else Zhang Ji could send.She didn't feel completely at ease until she held the letter in her hand.

I remembered that my man said that the prince must resettle the victims first and rebuild the disaster area before returning.She began to think about how to help each other.It's not for anything else, it's just to make that guy go home earlier and not take any more risks.

The so-called three cobblers beat Zhuge Liang, so now Lin Baozhu called Xiuniang's sister-in-law and Jinruo to discuss it?Naturally, there are still a few shopkeepers working with the family stewards.Because Zhaodi is pregnant now, she can only stay in the capital temporarily to raise her baby. Originally, Lin Baozhu asked Xiuniang's sister-in-law to help her, but I didn't want everyone to worry too much about Lin Baozhu's inability to cope with the south. Personal care, so Xiuniang's sister-in-law came back with her no matter what she said.

"Although Zhang Ji can make money, we can also buy rice, flour and food to send, but those can only solve temporary difficulties. Moreover, there are countless victims, and what we can help is limited." Since the disaster in the south, shopkeeper Xu The shopkeeper and shopkeeper Li have been helping Lin Baozhu handle the accounts for sending things to the south.Now, after comparing the accounts, the two said, "Up to now, Zhang Ji has sent out 3 taels of silver one after another, and there are still a lot of food and medicine. Except for the shops and workshops near Taoshuwan, most of the other places are due to With the transfer of funds, the work has been suspended. Madam, if this continues, Zhang Ji will not be able to bear it before the flood. "

How could Lin Baozhu not understand the stakes?But at that time, she was also at a loss for what to do, thinking that she couldn't let her man be trapped.And money can be earned again, if people are gone, everything is gone.

"Teaching him to fish is worse than teaching him how to fish, mother, the master often teaches us that it's not a good idea to always give relief items." Jin Ruo sighed, and said with a sad face, "If the victims of the disaster come to our side Fortunately, after all, Zhang Ji still has to find people to work, but the south is too far away.”

Hearing Jinruo's words, Lin Baozhu's mind flashed, and he slapped his head suddenly and said, "Relief with work!"

Why did she forget this method? There are so many victims, but they are all labor.What's more, whether it's rebuilding Jiangnan, or rebuilding Zhangji's property and Zhuangzi in Jiangnan, which one doesn't require labor?
Men in their prime can do some physical labor and rough work, and women can also work in workshops or in Zhuangzi's fields.As for the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled, wouldn't there be Zhang Ji's charity hall and private school where they could stay?Can't do heavy work, cleaning and tidying up the house, or doing laundry and cooking, it's always okay.

Sure enough, when Zhang Ji started recruiting people in Jiangnan, the wages remained the same, and he took care of food and lodging. Many victims were very active as if they had found a straw to save their lives.In almost two or three days, several counselors around His Royal Highness discovered this move and persuaded the Prince to follow suit. Afterwards, Jiangnan, which was originally full of sighs, suddenly burst into a new vitality.

Coupled with the example of the crown prince who came from the sky, and Zhu Neng and others secretly manipulating public opinion, even though the disaster victims in the south of the Yangtze River have only filled in half or six of their stomachs, they are still actively responding to the call to rebuild their homes.

Who can be unhappy to be able to build a house for himself and tidy up the village, and get paid by the court?

By September, the south of the Yangtze River was already stable, and officials from all over the country expressed their gratitude to the prince for his benevolence.However, the flood of disaster victims or banditry that everyone was afraid of originally did not appear.

Originally, the reason why there were fleeing disaster victims everywhere in the past, and some disaster victims even ate human flesh in order to survive, but it was because disaster relief officials took money for disaster relief.If the common people have no way to survive, why don't they gang up and rob, and even as long as they can survive, they can do anything.

But now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to relieve the disaster in person, and the relief money was distributed on time.All the granaries were opened to release grain, and the properties of the gangs and officials that the prince and his party confiscated were all used on the victims.

Most of us are from poor people. As long as there is a way to survive, which one will go crazy and become a bandit, and which one will disregard the lives of others for the sake of eating for oneself?
Seeing that Sheng Jin will be here for a full week, Lin Baozhu also accepted the letter, saying that he will definitely come back in half a month.Knowing that the man was safe, Lin Baozhu was naturally overjoyed and didn't know what to do.Wasn't this just a discussion with Xiuniang's sister-in-law, the two of them went to the county town when they had free time, and also bought some things for Sheng Jin.
