Chapter 313 Going north to provide disaster relief
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Han Palace hosted a full moon wine for the little county. As the fourth uncle, the emperor naturally had no choice but to give the reward, of course, the money and cloth and satin were given.
Not long after Zhu Song's daughter's full moon banquet was completed, the fleet that went to sea to sell salt was also back. This time, she went to sea to sell salt and gained a lot. Although she didn't go too far, the court is now in a hurry to use money and get the money back according to the annual salt tax. This is not easy, let alone the amount of nearly three million taels of salt sold through sea routes is added.
After the money arrived, it immediately entered the treasury. The prince also began to show his skills and immediately began to deal with the court's measures against the disaster in the northwest.
Zhu Song originally thought that even if the money was collected, the matter would be over, but the day the money arrived, the meaning of the Eastern Palace came.
It was the grandson who came here in person to invite Zhu Song to the Eastern Palace, saying that the prince had something to ask for.
Zhu Song looked questioning. The prince’s money has been obtained, so he can do whatever he should do when it comes to the disaster in the northwest. What should I do if I have nothing to do?
Zhu Song felt that nothing good was going to happen, but the crown prince was the crown prince of the court. Although the emperor has only verbally affirmed the position of the crown prince and arranged the crown prince's family in the East Palace. There has not been a formal enthronement ceremony yet, but the crown prince is the crown prince. If there is any matter, the subjects have to go.
Zhu Song followed the grandson to the East Palace. When he arrived at the East Palace, he found that the prince and the princess had been waiting in the courtyard for a long time. When they saw Zhou Song, they knelt down without saying a word and called uncle.
Zhu Song was shocked, and he became more convinced that nothing good would be wrong.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, get up quickly, get up quickly!"
After the prince and the princess got up, Zhu Song did not give them a chance to speak, and immediately asked, "Your Highness, it must be a problem to ask me to come, right? Your Highness, the prince is still a famous saying!"
After hearing this, the prince and the princess smiled silly, and the prince said with a smile.
"Uncle Twenty is not in a hurry, let's go into the house and talk about this!"
Zhu Song raised his hand and refused, "Boss, can't you open the skylight and say something bright? This is the silver for selling salt, just arrived and entered the treasury. Your memorial on the disaster in the northwest has not been sent out accurately. Just call me here. You must have something to do. If you want me to make up the money again, then there is no!"
The prince smiled awkwardly and said in embarrassment: "Uncle Twenty has enough money. There will definitely be no problem spending this year, but there is still a problem now. The total amount of money sent to the northwest to provide disaster relief is 6 million taels, and each of Shaanxi and Shanxi is 3 million taels. But if you follow the ordinary route and process, you will not know how much you can leave when you arrive at the local area!"
Zhu Song suddenly understood, oh, this kid wants to preside over the disaster relief.
This is not a difficult job, and it can even be said to be a good person, because disaster relief is equivalent to making merit. Parties in the court will try their best to compete for this contribution. Which party will make the contribution to the benefit of the party? Not to mention how much money can be withdrawn from the disaster relief funds, it is just that you can show your face from the emperor.
Zhu Song understood that the boss's foundation is not stable in the court now, and his credit and wealth are not yet on the heads of him and his subordinates for the time being. Instead of doing things, it is better to sell it for yourself. In addition, by relying on his own ability, I think it can make the prince feel at ease. Even if Zhu Song takes a few points, he can't get too much.
Another point is that Zhu Song is in charge of the Jinyiwei, and the Jinyiwei supervises the world, but it is a great deterrent. As long as someone dares to make disaster relief funds from Zhu Song, then wait to search the house.
After Zhu Song understood this, he realized that the prince was not intentionally cheating him, and to some extent, the prince helped him, but he had gone out too many times this year.
Zhu Song said with some embarrassment: "It turns out that it's not difficult to say it's a matter of fact, and there are some benefits. But I've been out at the beginning of this year. I went to Jiangnan in the first half of the year and had to go to the northwest to provide disaster relief in the second half of the year. My princess and children haven't been with me for long. Can't I change to someone else to go there?"
After hearing this, the prince was very embarrassed: "Uncle Twenty, I know that Uncle Twenty is really too tired this year, but my nephew really has no choice. Now the court has just stabilized. Even if the officials in the court have those who defect to my nephew's disciples, my nephew will not feel at ease to use it."
"The people in the northwest have been waiting for the disaster relief funds from the court for a long time. If the court still cannot take appropriate measures, the people in the northwest will have no way to survive."
Zhu Song was really helpless and understood the second and third brothers’ mood. The prince did have two tricks, which was quite annoying. He stood on the family, country, and the people of the world without any chance of rejection.
When the Crown Princess saw Zhu Song hesitating and said at the right time: "And Uncle Twenty can also do our business well when he goes north. Although the northwest has suffered a disaster, the court's disaster relief funds have arrived. It is estimated that you will recover from it in no time. This is a big deal, Uncle Second Master!"
When the prince heard this, he was anxious and touched the princess with his elbow: "Why are you talking about this?"
Zhu Song watched the couple sing and reconcile. Although Zhu Song still admired the prince very much, this bastard was not good enough to always play like this.
Zhu Song looked at the prince squinted his eyes. The prince might also feel guilty and dared not look at Zhu Song's eyes.
"Boss, you said, "I'm not bad to you, my uncle, I'm pretty good at treating you three brothers, right?"
The boss nodded repeatedly: "Uncle Twenty naturally said to my nephew, and my nephew really respects Uncle Twenty. There is really nothing I can do about this, I really can't find anyone."
"Then can't you be honest with your child? Why did you say that you were so mean to your 20th uncle? You sang and reconcile with your wife."
Zhu Song never used the airs of his elders to teach the third son of the Zhu family a lesson, but he had no idea. This boss used to be so honest. Why do you think you are useless to mess with these things?
In fact, Zhu Song really wronged the prince. Although the prince was stingy about business, it was rumored that he liked to slash bricks, but it was not his idea. This was the temporary idea of the princess.
At most, the couple discussed that they couldn't agree on the one on the left and the other on the right, and they had to calculate the truth no matter how hard they were.
But even so, the prince and the princess were still unable to raise their heads because Zhu Song said.
