All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 647

The emperor is just throwing bricks to attract jade, the cousin is the "brick", and the Xie Mansion is the "jade" behind.

Yu Youyao was made the county lord, Xie Hui was the first to bear the brunt, and Xie's mansion was rich in heritage, very prestigious among other business people, even Xie's mansion generously donated money, would other business people still hold back?

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are at the bottom of the list. Once the court is angered, it is easy to pick a wrong place for tax evasion and smuggling.

If you have money, you have to have a life.

Mrs. Yu glanced at the bright yellow imperial decree, with a sarcasm on her face: "Every imperial decree issued by the emperor has to go through tedious and even complicated processes. There are dozens or hundreds of links, and each link has related People, after crafting, supervising and checking, and confirming that they are correct, they will be secretly sent to the next link, and each imperial decree will take at least three to five days, and at most more than ten days to complete," she said here, even her voice was clear Sarcasm: "It's only been a few days since the flower fair in Rongjun Palace, and the imperial decree has already arrived at our house."

In order to prevent someone from falsely preaching the imperial decree, the manufacturing process of the imperial decree has set up complex process links. The links are multiplied, refined, and differentiated, which avoids the possibility of exploiting loopholes.

If someone wants to make fakes, it is impossible to make fakes in dozens or hundreds of links at the same time, and it is impossible to buy hundreds of them at the same time.

The first word "Feng" in the imperial decree must be surveyed in advance for the position of the auspicious clouds in the sky on that day, and it can be finally determined with the authority of Zhaojun.

After so many links, it takes a lot of time for an imperial decree.

Therefore, the imperial edicts of the emperor are issued only after careful consideration. In case of emergency, they are issued verbally first, and the imperial edicts are later, and will never be made in advance.

It can be seen that the emperor coveted Yaoyao's money early in the morning, and the imperial decree has been prepared for a long time, and it will be issued when the time is right, and the flower fair at Rongjun Palace is a good excuse.

Yu Youyao also thought of this, and said: "Master Shaoyi, the word Yi is the same as [Yi]. , If you are single-minded, you can live for a long time, and you can be beautiful after a long time. Therefore, those who are good are those who are strong and pure, and those who are poor and who are rich must help, which means virtue, goodness, and beauty."

It's just that the word "Yi" is too heavy, so it shouldn't be given the title with the word "Yi", so "Yi" is changed to "Yi". Although the words are different, the meaning is the same.

Not only rich in this good virtue, but also advocating it with order!

Yi, Mei Ye!

Even if the dog emperor plots against a person, he is also incisively and vividly.

The atmosphere is a bit dignified...

Zhou Linghuai glanced at Yu Youyao: "In the five grains, the winter wheat has suffered a drought, and there is no food to harvest. At this time, it is not harvested, and the people can still eat wild vegetables to fill their stomachs."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the expressions of Yu Youyao and Mrs. Yu became very solemn.

Zhou Linghuai continued: "Rice, millet, and millet are all planted in March and April. God has not rained. In two days, it will be the summer solstice. When the rice arrives at the summer solstice, it is barely planted. There will be no earing, and the planting has been missed at the moment. Although the people have replanted the drought-tolerant Shu Bean, the Shu Bean also needs rain to keep the harvest. The people are counting on the grain harvest in the second half of the year to survive. In half a year, food production has been reduced on a large scale, and famines will definitely occur in all parts of the country."

Every time there is a famine, starvation is everywhere, mourning is everywhere, and ten rooms are empty.

The tragedy of changing children and eating will also compete to be staged.

Just thinking about that scene, Yu Youyao felt terrified: "Is it serious enough?"

Living in Jingzhao, what she saw and knew, she was inevitably confused by the peaceful scene in Beijing and the illusion of a prosperous and prosperous age. She did not expect that there are already many places that are serious enough to cause famine.

Zhou Linghuai nodded: "The imperial court did not release money for disaster relief, and did not show that it attached importance to the drought. It has become normal for officials from all over the country to make false reports, conceal reports, false reports, or not report. , can’t attract the attention of the imperial court. You must know that for small-scale disasters, all the government offices in the prefectures and counties will help the victims. Many people have starved to death across the country, and now in April and May, it is the winter wheat harvest, but the winter wheat has suffered..."

Yu Youyao felt cold in her heart: "The winter wheat harvest was gone, the disaster was out of control, and it even expanded. Officials from all over the country couldn't hide it, so they had to report it to the imperial court. That's why the empress dowager raised money to help the disaster."

The Great Zhou Dynasty was really rotten to the bone.

Those who are officials are greedy at the top and effective at the bottom, not for the benefit of the people.

As a king, he plays power and tricks, does not think about governing the government, and only wants to live forever.

As a minister, he fights internally and externally, and cliques strife. He only cares about power and power, and does not care about the life and death of the people.

The king is not the king, the minister is not the minister, and the people are not the people.

This drought is a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster.

Mrs. Yu also felt sorry for her: "Amitabha, the imperial court is spending too much, the government is rampant, and natural disasters and man-made disasters have caused the people to live in dire straits." Speaking of this, she went to the palace to plot against her granddaughter, and she couldn't help feeling angry: " Being a ruler is not benevolent, harming heaven and earth at the top, harming the people at the bottom, causing the sky to wrath and the people to resent!"

Yu Youyao's heart was heavy: "The emperor and the empress dowager have given me the title of being kind and virtuous. It is a great righteousness to raise donations for disaster relief. I not only want to donate, but also to donate more. It's just..."

Will the money really be used to help the victims?

Zhou Linghuai understood what she meant: "Whether the empress dowager is truly charitable or not is still open to debate, but it is not important. What is important is that everyone in the world knows that the empress dowager's rites to Buddha are compassionate, and the donations are for relief. The name of the victims, since this matter is led by the Empress Dowager, there will be no false relief for the victims."

It's just that how much is used on the victims is still open to question.

But no matter how many there are, it is good to save one.

Yu Youyao understood as soon as she heard it: "So, if nothing else, it is for the tens of thousands of disaster victims in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I must donate this money."

——

On the way back to the backyard, thinking that Yu Youyao had been made the head of Shaoyi County, Yu Jianjia felt blocked, and felt depressed for a while, feeling like he couldn't breathe.

The soft and moist eyes became deep without knowing it, and wet, sticky emotions surged in the eyes.

Yu Jianjia couldn't help coughing.

Bai Ye quickly stepped forward to help her: "Are you feeling unwell?"

"Don't worry," Yu Jianjia shook her head. Seeing no one around, she couldn't help but look back. Yu Qingning, who was behind her, said softly, "Big sister has been made the head of Shaoyi County. I'm still the head." Having experienced such a big battle once, it is probably due to excessive tension and a little fatigue in the body."
