Unparalleled Fortune in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 224 The Beginning of the Snow Disaster

"How to say?"

"I asked Su Peisheng to investigate. Many houses in the farms near the capital have collapsed, and many widowed and lonely old people froze to death."

This is only near the capital.

The scope of the snowfall this time is not small, and other places will only be worse than the capital. The key is that there is no explanation for the disaster relief bank.

Tong Cheng'er was taken aback when she heard the words, and then fell silent. These things seemed very close to her, but they were actually far away. In this life, she grew up carefree. Had a natural disaster!
"what can I do?"

When she asked this question, her first reaction was to donate money. After all, she didn't seem to be able to help much except money.

"No need for now, I will go see Huang Ama tomorrow and tell the situation first."

After dinner, Yinzhen went to the study to write notes.

Tong Cheng'er was not idle either, trying to recall things about the snow disaster, but then she couldn't think of anything.

Before going to bed, Tong Cheng'er said to Yinzhen: "How about I donate some money, I don't know how to deal with the snow disaster, but it will definitely use money."

Yinzhen: "Don't worry about these, you keep the money first, and I will tell you when you need it."

Yinzhen is very clear about his thoughts, because he has a lot of money, he always thinks about how to spend it, and feels uneasy about keeping it, so he has no problem with it.

Anyway, no matter how you spend it, you will always get more money than you get out, so you won't be able to starve little Fujin.

Tong Cheng'er nodded and fell asleep.

The next day Yinzhen went directly to Qianqing Palace to meet Kangxi.

He handed over his brochure: "Huang Ama, it has been snowing continuously for the past few days, and now the capital is impassable, and my son is worried, so I asked people to check the farmhouses near the capital, and found that many farmhouses have collapsed, and the people's homes are uncertain. Therefore, many people died of frostbite, and the officials in charge of disaster relief were indifferent. My son checked the whereabouts of this year's disaster relief funds, and found that the Ministry of Household Affairs had allocated a sum of 10 taels of relief money the day before. My son begged Huang Ama to investigate thoroughly .”

Kangxi is also suffering from a headache when he looks at the heavy snow falling outside for the past two days!He knew about the allocation of funds by the Ministry of Household Affairs for disaster relief, but he didn't know that the relief money was not being used in real terms.

He won't just listen to Yinzhen's one-sided words, but he cares about what Yinzhen said.

"It's hard for you to have a heart."

Kangxi was very relieved to see that Daxue cared about the safety of the people, but at the same time he thought of the prince, and couldn't help being disappointed, but it's a pity that the prince is not so caring.

If the crown prince came to say these words today, he would probably be so happy that he couldn't sleep.

"The minister has received the salary, so it should be."

The implication is that this is as it should be.

Kangxi was naturally more satisfied when he heard the words.

"I will send people to investigate what you said. If it is true, I will not spare the common people lightly."

Embezzlement with disaster relief money from the imperial court is poking Kangxi's heart!
Finally, the household department had some money, and he himself was not willing to squander it. He was concerned about the safety of the people, and he deliberately said that he would be more lenient on the way of disaster relief. These people simply took his words as nonsense.

It's okay to obey the positive and violate the negative.

"Huang Ama Shengming."

Yinzhen's words are not wrong. Although Kangxi is partial to the prince and values ​​reputation, he is still quite holy in essence.

After Yinzhen left Qianqing Palace, he returned to the mansion and met An Linyu.

They should have met yesterday, but yesterday was too late, and the people sent by Su Peisheng couldn't find anyone else.

The academy started to get on the right track, with a dedicated person in charge of being the dean of the academy, An Linyu had fewer things to take care of.

The sewer has also been repaired, and I am busy with business matters recently.

The reason why the people sent by Su Peisheng failed to find him yesterday was mainly because they were entertaining, and when they got home, it was already midnight and drunk.

So today he came over when he got the news.

As soon as Yinzhen went to the palace, he came.

When Yinzhen was away, Tong Cheng'er asked him to wait. When Yinzhen came back, the two went into the study.

An Linyu: "The servant has seen the master."

Yinzhen: "There's no need to be too polite. I have a lot to say today. Sit down and talk."

"Thank you, master."

"You can see that the snow keeps falling. The people I sent said that houses have collapsed in many places. If it continues like this, it will definitely not work."

"Master, please tell me what you need the slave to do."

Yinzhen: "Do you still have contact with the artisans of Xiu Academy?"

An Linyu nodded: "There is a connection."

At the beginning, the task of building the academy was heavy, so he invited more people. In order to ensure the quality and quantity, and because he was rich in money, he was also generous. Those people have never stopped. Before leaving, he said all the big projects, remember to look for them again.

"It's good to have contact. The snow hasn't stopped yet. See if you can get them to start working now and build a shelter."

An Linyu didn't expect this to happen, and was quite moved when he heard the words. He was rescued by the kindness of the master, and he felt warm in his heart. Hearing what the master said, he was naturally willing to do what he could.

"The slave will contact them when he returns."

Yinzhen nodded: "I won't give you the map, no matter what it is, it must be big, and it must be strong against wind and snow."

An Linyu: "The servant understands."

After Xu Zhen finished talking about this, he also said some precautions, including where the shelter was built, and a series of questions. After talking, make sure to say all the questions that came to mind.

"That's all for the time being. I won't keep you for lunch anymore. You can do it now. When this matter is over, I'm treating you to dinner."

An Linyu nodded when she heard the words, and then took her leave.

After leaving Si Age's mansion, An Linyu walked into his own mansion with a look of emotion on his face, and he was not idle when he returned, mobilizing all his forces to prepare for the construction of the shelter.

The craftsmen who built the academy at the beginning lived in different places, the heavy snow was flying, and the carriages were impassable. They were notified one by one on foot. Even if there were servants to help, An Linyu was very tired.

Seeing him coming back with half of his leg lost, his wife couldn't help frowning and yelling at him: "You, you can't worry less, it's not too late, find someone in a hurry, and freeze yourself up, You don't feel sorry for yourself, I feel sorry for you."

An Linyu looked at his wife who was concerned about him, and took her hand: "Madam doesn't understand."

"I don't understand, but I love you."

"My life was given by the master. The master was kind and saved me from the sea of ​​suffering. Even if I gave this life, I should have given it. Besides, the master didn't want my life. He just asked me to do something for me What can be done, looking at those suffering people, I can't help but think of myself at the beginning, if the shelter can be built soon, maybe one more life can be saved."

He is repaying his favor and redeeming himself.

He felt that what he did was like helping himself who had nowhere to go.

Hearing this, his wife sighed: "You idiot, but no matter what, you have to take care of yourself."

An Linyu nodded: "Madam, don't worry, I know what's going on."

He is not a person who has no sense of propriety, and now his wife and children are hot on the bed, life is beautiful!He naturally takes care of himself.

"As long as you have the numbers, just tell me if you need anything. I can't help with big things, but I can still help with small things."

An Linyu smiled: "Thank you Madam for your understanding. Madam takes good care of myself and the child, so I can have no worries."
