Chapter 13 The East Palace Treasury
“It’s time to eat,”
In front of the hot pot, the chef who helped the chef shouted loudly, with a long tail sound, spreading far away.
In fact, there was no need for him to shout. The pot was surrounded by refugees. They were all drooling and staring at the hot pot. If someone hadn't maintained order, they would have rushed over long ago.
This is one of the relief points of the Daxing County Government. It is responsible for reliance on refugees in the east of Daxing City. Since the refugees come from the east, it is the most valued here.
Before the Ministry of Revenue issued the silver from the Ministry of Revenue, Su Sheng could no longer wait and directly used the silver from Panku in the county to start relieving refugees.
"Don't panic, take your time," a crisp voice calmed the crowd. A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl stood in front of the pot to comfort everyone. The girl had a pretty face, but her voice was extremely nice, and her big eyes added a bit of beauty.
He reached out and took the porcelain bowls and wooden bowls he handed over, and then handed them over.
"Thank you, Sister Xiaocao." A boy in his teens took the bowl and looked at the food in it.
"Zhuzi, eat it quickly!" Xiaocao didn't bother to say much, hurriedly took the next bowl and continued to get busy.
Zhuzi held the rice bowl and went to the side to eat in big mouthfuls. While eating, he looked at the busy grass.
He and Xiaocao were refugees who came to Daxing together. He was alone, while Xiaocao had a father who could cook. This time, the court provided disaster relief, Xiaocao and his father were selected to help the kitchen together.
Xiaocao is very kind and takes good care of Zhuzi.
"I will definitely work hard and repay Sister Xiaocao in the future." Zhuzi said firmly at his thin body.
Thinking in my heart, I couldn't help but look at the table not far away. There were a few yamen runners registering there next to the table. Although the court used work for relief this time, I could still find work that I could do...
I heard from the old man that the imperial court used to let them have free meals when they were disaster relief, but why did they still have to work when they arrived in such a wealthy place as Daxing?
But it’s good to work. Although Zhuzi is only in his teens, he can do something to help adults, so that he can get hungry again.
"The person who cleans the river has recruited people, who is willing to hurry up." A middle-aged man shouted as a small foreman.
"I'll go." Zhuzi quickly put down the bowl in his hand and replied.
"Little brat, can you do it?" the little foreman squinted his eyes and looked at the pillar, and said with some doubt.
"Uncle, I'm going to tell you that my water quality is good. I can't do it if you say I can't build roads, but there is absolutely no problem in cleaning the river." Zhuzi patted his chest and promised.
"Okay, just you!" The foreman set the pillar down skeptically. He knew if the water would come to the river. He could not make a false statement.
Zhuzi looked back at the grass that was still busy, turned around and left with the foreman.

"rustle"
The sound of Peacock Feather rubbing the paper spread throughout the room.
Yang You sat at the main table and worked hard to calculate the accounts handed over by Yao Silian. There was already a lot of straw paper on the ground.
Yao Silian sat behind the table on the left. His task today was not to teach, but to be led by Yang You to strengthen the men and be responsible for distributing the things of refugees.
It is okay to let Yang You calculate the calculations, but he is confused about these government affairs. Fortunately, Yao Silian did a good job and managed the disaster relief work in an orderly manner.
"Your Highness, this is a newly sent note."
Wang Xi pushed open the door and placed a thick stack of folds on Yao Silian's table.
"It's another memorandum of the county magistrate to apply for disaster relief projects." Yao Silian picked up a copy and looked at it, shook his head and said helplessly.
Since Yang You promulgated the labor-for-relief, except for Su Sheng, the county magistrates of each county have been working hard to pull projects, and all the disaster relief work has been handed over to the deputy.
Build bridges, paving roads, building water conservancy, and building schools. In just one morning, the handovers handed over were more than a hundred times that of this year's corvee labor.
What's more, there are some counties slightly far from Daxing that have not been sent yet.
If all of them were reported, it would probably be more than twice as much.
"Thank you for your hard work, Yao Shishi." Yang You also smiled bitterly. In any era, officials are the same. Whether it is necessary or not, they are working hard to pull projects. Let's start first, and attracting funds means performance.
He had no choice but to distinguish these things, and he could only rely on Yao Silian to distinguish them himself. Fortunately, Yang You gave Yao Silian great autonomy, and he picked and selected some necessary projects at the forefront, and some outrageously rejected them directly.
I worked for another afternoon and finally finished my work.
"Your Highness Wei is invited!" Just after finishing his work, a palace maid came to report.
Yang You followed the palace maid back to the East Palace, and saw Concubine Wei sitting at the dining table, with four or five plates of steaming food on the table.
"Greetings to my mother." Yang You saluted.
"Yu'er, come and have something to eat. Thank you for your hard work today." Wei Fei helped Yang You up and pulled Yang You to the dining table.
Wu Ma handed over a bowl of dried porridge in time. Yang You took it, drank it in one breath, and sighed comfortably.
"You're so hungry! Have some food now." Concubine Wei hurriedly greeted Yang You for dinner.
Yang You had been busy for a long time and was already hungry, so he started to eat in big mouthfuls.
As the saying goes, half a young man is poor, and soon the table of food has disappeared into Yang You's stomach.
Concubine Wei waved her hand, and the palace maids put away the cup and plate. All the palace maids, led by Ma Wu, also retreated with the situation.
Yang You sat upright and knew that Concubine Wei had something to say.
"Yu'er has grown up." Wei Fei looked at Yang You and said with relief, "This time you did a good job. This time, you helped the refugees in time and built a large number of projects. Even the prince was like this."
When Wei Fei talked about the prince, tears fell down instantly, obviously it was a scene of sadness.
Yang You was very embarrassed because she had no feelings for Prince Yuande, and Concubine Wei didn't doubt anything. After all, the prince had been lost for many years, and Yang You was still young at that time!
"This is what the child should do. After all, these refugees are the ones who let them enter the customs, so they will not care about their lives or death." Yang You gently comforted Concubine Wei.
"This is the first time you have been involved in political affairs. If you don't understand anything, please ask the ministers in a timely manner and don't make your own decisions."
Concubine Wei said cautiously, she was afraid that Yang You had just come into contact with political affairs and was young and energetic, so she could easily turn good things into bad things.
But she didn't know that Yang You had a soul that was a thousand years later and was not a child raised in the deep palace.
"Don't worry, mother, the child must follow his mother's teachings." Yang You looked at Concubine Wei and said seriously.
Concubine Wei nodded with relief, reached out and Ma Wu came in with a tray.
I reached out and dropped the steps on the tray, and saw an exquisite key placed inside the tray.
Concubine Wei reached out and picked up the key and placed it in Yang You's hand.
"Do you know where the key is?" Wei Fei said mysteriously.
"I don't know." Yang You shook his head and said.
"This key is the key to the treasury of our Prince's Mansion. It has accumulated wealth for decades of the Prince's Mansion. Now you have grown up and are the only heir of the Prince's Mansion. Now this key is in your custody. As long as you think it is right, you can control the wealth within at will."
Concubine Wei closed Yang You, held the key, and said solemnly.
Yang You was stunned. He did not expect that Concubine Wei would send such valuable things. He didn't care about these wealth. As a time traveler, he could even get huge wealth without losing the interests of others. Just like a four-wheeled carriage, in time, there would be a lot of money, but it would take a certain amount of time to cultivate the market.
Yang You suddenly felt a soreness in his nostrils, and he felt the deep love and trust of Concubine Wei for him.
"The child will definitely not let down his mother's expectations." Yang You held the keys in his hand tightly. With these wealth, many of his plans can be implemented in advance.
He knew that Concubine Wei must have discovered something unusual about her, but she did not doubt herself, but thought that Yang You was stimulating in Luoyang when she sent Yang Guang.
After all, my actions in the past few days have already been effective, and my intention to compete for that position has gradually been noticed.
Obviously, Concubine Wei also heard about it. As a royal family, how could she be insensitive to such things?
Moreover, Yang You's performance has been amazing enough these days, but no one expected that Concubine Wei had made such a big bet.
Yang You suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he thought of a solution to the shortage of refugees' funds.
"Mama Wu, are you right to say I did this?" After Yang You left, Concubine Wei fell on the chair as if she had been drained from her strength.
"I don't know." Wu Ma appeared behind Concubine Wei and responded.
"You! You are still so cautious. We are like sisters, so don't call me a servant." Concubine Wei blamed her a little.
Concubine Wei couldn't wait for Wu Ma's answer and said to herself.
"How can you delay such a thing? There is only one chance. If you don't seize it, you will regret it for life. I didn't give it to You're not here because You're not a fight at that time. Now You're finally sensible. Even if it's just a whim, with such wealth control, it's enough to achieve a career."
"Besides, we are already much behind. The two bitch sons are almost in a state of chaos. One is following the emperor and the other staying in Dongdu. Our Yu'er can only chase after him."
Concubine Wei kept muttering to herself, almost inaudible in the empty hall.
Wu Ma had never responded, but just stood silently behind Concubine Wei. In fact, she knew that it was not only the savings of the Eastern Palace in recent years, but also the huge wealth accumulated in the era of the Prince, which would be an astronomical figure.
