Chapter 141

"The arrangement is almost done. This time, His Royal Highness intends to personally escort the relief money. By the way, he will take a look at the people's situation on behalf of the Holy One, so as to comfort the victims."

"In that case, it seems that His Royal Highness King Yong doesn't need to go with him?" Song Qingshan was obviously a little surprised that Xie Yang went there in person.

"The students only learned about this this morning, saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specifically went to beg for His Majesty's decree."

Obviously, Xie Chu just found out about this matter.

Song Xieyu on the side seemed to be still looking at the armor carefully, but thought secretly in his heart.

I remember that Xie Yang disappeared for a while after Xie Yang’s birthday banquet in the last life, and I haven’t come to find myself for a long time. At that time, I thought it was because he liked the new and hated the old, and I made a big fuss in the mansion because of this. Song Qingshan couldn’t stand it anymore, so he told himself that the south was flooded , Many places were affected by disasters, and the people were in dire straits. Xie Yang went to observe the situation of the people, and then he stopped his crying, but he was still dissatisfied. After Xie Yang came back, he bought a lot of gifts and coaxed himself well.

Wait, a lot of money to buy gifts, Mo Fei also went to escort the relief money back then?Then did some of this heavy gold come from this relief silver?After all, the prince personally escorted him, and no one dared to ask how much.

And where the relief money was used, who it was sent to, and how much each person sent, there is no way to check, even if it is greedy, no one knows, such a cost-effective deal, Xie Yang would not have imagined how powerful it is What's more, I have already spent almost all of his family's wealth during this period of time, so I will definitely seize the opportunity to get money like this.

"Third brother, how much is the relief money? Why did His Royal Highness personally protect it?" Song Xieyu asked curiously.

"This time the flood is quite serious. The imperial court allocated 100 million taels of silver for the relief of the victims. The amount is really huge." Xie Chu didn't expect Song Xieyu to be interested in this matter, so he answered seriously.

"Will all the money be given to the victims?" Song Xieyu still asked with her head held up, looking very interested.

Seeing that Song Xieyu was interested in the affairs of the court, Song Qingshan was not angry, but felt that he and Song Xieyu had something to chat with, so he sat down and opened his mouth.

"This relief money is generally used to build temporary shelters for the victims, buy relief food, and most of it is used for compensation for the victims. Local officials will report the loss of all the victims of the disaster, and then calculate according to the reported amount. Victims compensate."

Song Qingshan explained to Song Xieyu in detail.

Song Xieyu lowered his head and thought for a while before speaking again, "Dad, didn't you say that the number of people affected by this disaster is large, there are so many refugees, and the things in the hands of the officials are too complicated, how can they be counted?"

Hearing this sentence, both Song Qingshan and Xie Chu were taken aback, they didn't expect Song Xieyu to think of this.

Indeed, in the past years, the disaster situation was reported by officials, and then the court allocated funds according to the reported situation. Everyone never thought about whether the data reported by the officials was true and reliable. Most of the disasters were small counties, and there were not many officials, except to appease refugees. Besides, there are really no extra people to make specific statistics. Besides, after the disaster, a large part of the refugees will leave their hometowns and live in new places. So where will the compensation be distributed?

Thinking of this, Xie Chu frowned. If this is the case, the amount of relief money this time is very large, and many links in the middle are blurred. If the prince has other thoughts, he will not be aware of it at all.

Seeing Xie Chu's solemn expression, Song Xieyu knew that Xie Chu had already thought of the problem, and it might not be so easy for Xie Yang to be greedy for ink this time.

"Teacher, can I discuss matters in the study?"

After a long time, Xie Chu raised his head and looked at Song Qingshan with dark eyes.

"His Royal Highness, this way please." Song Qingshan hurriedly led the way.

Song Xieyu didn't want to ask more about the following matters, only knew that Xie Chu and Song Qingshan discussed in the study for a long time, and then Xie Chu went directly into the palace after leaving the mansion.

Since Xie Chude is smart, I am afraid that he has already found a countermeasure.

Three days later, the relief silver team was about to set off, and the amount of silver was huge, so the Holy One sent an elite army to escort them, tall horses and well-equipped, and all the people in the city came to watch.

Xie Yang was at the front of the team, full of spirits, not to mention how proud he was, and according to his own plan, when he came back this trip, most of the money spent by the mansion would be returned, and his mood immediately improved a lot.

Seeing that the hour was approaching, the Holy Majesty hadn't spoken to let the team set off, but was fixedly looking in one direction, as if waiting for someone to appear, Xie Yang gradually became a little anxious.

"Father, the time is coming, don't delay the auspicious time." Xie Yang urged without a trace.

"Wait a minute, your Uncle Wang hasn't arrived yet."

Xie Yang's heart was horrified by what the emperor said, why is Xie Chu involved?
"Father, this is it?" Xie Yang asked in confusion.

"Yang'er, the amount of relief money that was escorted this time is huge. Father was worried that you would be under too much pressure alone, so he asked your Uncle Wang to go with you. There was someone to take care of you on the way. Besides, your Uncle Wang often handles such affairs after all. The experience is also richer, and if something happens to the place, you two, uncle and nephew, can also discuss it with each other, so you don't have to worry about it alone."

"My son, thank you, Father, for your compassion."

Xie Yang bowed his head to thank him, he had already gritted his teeth in his heart, if Xie Chu went with him, wouldn't all the previous plans be scrapped?Immediately, there was a trace of resentment towards the Holy One in his heart. He was not worried about himself, but he was obviously looking for someone to watch him, but he just said it nicely on the surface.

Sooner or later, I will take your place at the commanding heights of power.

Xie Yang clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves, his knuckles turned white, which showed his strength.

Not long after, a carriage passed by from a distance, and the brows of the Holy Majesty who were slightly furrowed were relaxed.

"My brother sees the emperor, there are some minor matters in the house that have been delayed, and I hope the emperor will not blame him."

Xie Chu got out of the car and saluted the emperor, his words were full of apologies.

"It's okay, the time is just right." The emperor stretched out his hand to support Xie Chu, shook Xie Chu without a trace, and then pulled away.

"The auspicious time has come, the team will set off." After receiving the emperor's permission, the old eunuch shouted with a long tail.

The chariots and horses set off slowly and moved forward.

"Uncle Wang is old and a little dull. I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will give you some pointers along the way." Xie Chu nodded slightly, and followed meekly.
