Chapter 547: The Eighth Master's Calculation [Monthly Pass + 34 Updates]
Although everyone in the Qing Palace is quite sensible and calm today, God today is determined not to let Kangxi live a peaceful life.
It started to snow heavily on the first day of the new year.
Although the monarchs and ministers attending the state banquet all joked that the auspicious snow was a good sign for a good harvest, they were actually a little worried in their hearts.
If it snows like this for half a day, it won't matter. If it snows all night, it won't be too important. On the contrary, it will help to have a good harvest tomorrow.
But if you just click like this...
Then it will be troublesome.
Although the younger brothers were still walking around in the study room one hundred and twenty times today, all the grown-up brothers from age 10 to above were attending the state banquet.
Emperor Kangxi took the Fourth Master over first and asked about it.
The Fourth Master, a top student, always answers questions fluently and confidently.
The general meaning is that in these places on the outskirts of Beijing, there is no need to worry too much even if the snow is heavy.
Emergency supplies should be readily available.
Although Lao Jiu and Lao Ten are handling the data, how can Fourth Master rest assured that Lao Jiu must be asking questions from time to time, and he still knows the big numbers.
Today is the birthday of Emperor Kangxi, and we are planning to hold a big event in March. I don’t want to hear any ominous cries on the first day of the new year, so it’s good to mention this, and I wave to the Fourth Master to step aside.
Lao Shi was a little worried and did not go back after the banquet. He went directly to the fourth master's house to discuss it.
Brother Eighth saw Lao Shi following Brother Four without hesitation, and with a smile on his face, he looked at Lao Jiu and said, "Would you like to come to my place to sit for a while? Your house is also next door to mine, so it's almost the same."
It’s almost done.”
Lao Jiu thought for a moment, then went back to face Jiu Fujin's face, which was indeed quite impressive. He tossed his robe and left with Lao Ba.
"It's been snowing harder and harder lately, do you have any rules?" Brother Eight asked with concern.
Lao Jiu is very shrewd, but he is also the most brotherly among the brothers. After drinking two cups, he said: "Oh, it's not easy. Even if we have food and cotton clothes, what will happen? The most important thing about the snow disaster is the inconvenient transportation.
In which village or town is the house overwhelming?
, it doesn’t matter if the relief supplies can’t be sent in. It’s not a flood or drought, so those people can gather in the town and be given rice and porridge to survive. Now, people have to go to the town just for a mouthful of food. Where to stay at night, there is no place.
Heating is still a death, so it’s difficult.”
The Eighth Prince sighed, "No matter how difficult it is, it must be done well. March is the longevity of Emperor Ama. If there is a disaster at this time and the mission fails, then, let alone Emperor Ama, the civil and military capital of the entire dynasty will be destroyed."
I can't agree! You and the tenth brother...the tenth brother still has the title of Prince Dun, so I'm worried about what you will do then!"
Brother Jiu said: "We only care about the supplies, not the delivery. This matter has nothing to do with our brothers."
"Oh, those high-ranking officials are all top-notch people who have been immersed in official circles for decades. You and your tenth brother have only been on official business a few times. How can you outsmart them?"
Brother Jiu asked worriedly: "What should we do?"
"There is only one way! That is to find a way to get everyone involved now while the job is not hot yet, and bring everyone into this circle. By then, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of War will be able to contribute and share the responsibilities."
Brother Jiu said: "How to do this?!"
