"Accurate!"

The emperor waved his hand, and Eunuch Jia made a pot of tea for Fu Xiaoguan.

The emperor and the five ministers here were all frowning in thought at this moment. Fu Xiaoguan's words basically explained the reasons why the relief materials could not fall into the hands of the victims, especially the last sentence, triple the profit. If they commit any crime, those officials will bet on the ten times profit even if they know they will be beheaded.

This is human nature, which means it won’t work for anyone else.

There must be honest officials among them, but in this environment, such honest officials cannot play a role.

The top and bottom collude together to form a net, and the mesh of this net may be a certain high-ranking official in the court.

Fu Xiaoguan simply found a seat against the wall and sat down. While drinking tea, he wondered if staying there would be a way to flatter his father-in-law.

Not long after, Taifu Ning spoke.

"Are you being a bit alarmist? Is it possible that the administration of officials in our dynasty has deteriorated to this point?"

Before Fu Xiaoguan could answer, the emperor spoke: "Taifu Ning, what the official said is very detailed." After saying that, he took out a memorial from the Long Case and asked Eunuch Jia to give it to Mrs. Ning. Fu said again: "This is the latest memorial. Yan Xibai is currently in Henan Prefecture, Xijing. The price of food here has increased fifteen times, not the twelve times Fu Xiaoguan said."

Tafu Ning took the memorial and looked at it carefully, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and the anger on his face grew stronger.

"I have arrived alone in Henan Prefecture. The city gate here has been closed, and there are hundreds of thousands of victims outside. I mingled with the people giving porridge when I came out of the city gate. I saw that the porridge was clear, the soup was short of water, and there was only a handful of corn. The victims were The dishes are all in a state of death. Although they are not in a state of starvation, they are not far away. When I asked about the victims, they said that the price of food has gone up to the sky, and there is not even half a penny left in the bag. "

"I saw some strong men forming a team, and I was worried about mutiny, so I went to ask them. They said that they would starve to death if they stayed here. It is better to go to Jiangbei Road. It is said that there are good people in the lower village of Linjiang Prefecture to take in the victims. , the food is very good, and there is money for hard work. If I go late, I’m afraid I won’t be able to catch up.”

"I returned to the city and asked about the price of grain. Rice has risen to 260 Wen per catty, sorghum is 120 Wen per catty, and wheat is 200 Wen per catty... Not only the victims have no money to buy, but even the residents in the city Also complaining endlessly."

“When I went to the government, officials said that disaster relief was being distributed every day, but there were too many victims and the government could do nothing.”

"My dear, I am heartbroken! I will definitely investigate these corpses of officials who are corrupt and pervert the law!"

This memorial was a secret report and had not passed through the Zhongshu Province. As it was circulated one by one, even Yan Beixi's face changed color.

After a long time, Dong Shangshu bowed and saluted the emperor: "I am guilty! I am in a high position, but I did not expect that the disaster relief food and wages of the Ministry of Household Affairs were corrupted to such an extent. I am willing to accept your majesty's punishment. Thank you to the world! ”

When Fu Xiaoguan heard this, he thought that this must not be possible. My father-in-law should not be jerked off by His Majesty, so he stood up.

"The people think that this is not Dong Shangshu's fault."

Your Majesty was stunned, why did this guy excuse Dong Kangping?

But Yan Shidao knew something clearly in his heart. This boy was quite clever.

"The responsibility of the Ministry of Household Affairs includes disaster relief. All materials are allocated to various states and counties through the Ministry of Household Affairs. The Ministry of Household Affairs has the responsibility of supervision. Why do you think it is not Dong Shangshu's crime? ?"

His Majesty asked a question, and Fu Xiaoguan had to answer it, and he had to answer it to the point in order to solve Dong Shangshu's problem.

"Back to Your Majesty, the common people think that the officials in each state, county, and county are all appointed and evaluated by the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Household Distribution distributes materials based on the disaster statistics compiled by each state. If there is any deduction in the materials distributed, this is of course wrong. The responsibility of the Ministry of Household Affairs, but if there is no problem with the materials distributed by the Ministry of Household Affairs, it is the responsibility of officials at all levels. Although the Ministry of Household Affairs has the responsibility of supervision, it does not have so many officials sent to monitor everywhere. On the contrary, There are many officials in the Ministry of Personnel, so of course the Ministry of Personnel is the first to take responsibility. I feel that now is not the time to hold the Ministry of Households responsible. Should we return to the topic of disaster relief and discuss ways to improve it? "

Fu Xiaoguan was just making a joke. He successfully diverted the topic. The emperor thought, yes, this disaster relief strategy has not yet come to a result, so he said: "We will discuss this matter later. Now everyone still has some ideas about this strategy. Any questions? ”

Dong Kangping sat down nervously and glanced at Fu Xiaoguan.

Yan Beixi spoke: "I still have a question, Master Fu."

Fu Xiaoguan bowed quickly: "I don't dare, please tell me."

He doesn't know Yan Beixi. It's still the same point of view. The older the person is, the bigger his official position will be, especially the last one who speaks, who is probably the prime minister.

"Those businessmen have raised the price of food so high, but the victims have no money to buy it. Why do they do this?"

This is the limitation of people's vision in this world. It may also be because they have lived in temples for a long time and do not know the suffering of the people.

"First, businessmen control food prices not to sell to disaster victims, but to make money from wealthy people in the city."

"Second, food prices are gradually rising. When a disaster occurs, assuming that the victims of Henan Prefecture fled here immediately, they still have money on them, although it is not much, but at this time They can still buy some coarse grains, but then the price of grains gets higher and higher, and they can no longer afford it, so they rely on the government to provide them with porridge. But what should they do now? Businessmen came to buy their fields, and in order to survive, they had to sell them at low prices."

"So the real purpose of raising grain prices is for the fields. Think about it, the fields of hundreds of thousands of people have been handed over to those businessmen so simply and extremely cheaply. What a bargain it is. ? This is their fundamental purpose. As for food prices, it is just a means to achieve this purpose. ”

Everyone suddenly understood, whispering to each other, and nodding frequently.

At this point, the disadvantages of the old method have been basically explained. Fu Xiaoguan waited for a while and then added: "According to my understanding of the victims, if food prices do not rise, they can basically survive until the flood." Retreat."

"In just ten days, they will be able to return to their homes and start farming again. The life will definitely be difficult, but they will not have to flee. Moreover, after the floods recede, the fields will be more fertile, and they will basically be there next year. In good years, their lives will get better again, instead of being like they are now without their fields, and it will be meaningless to return to their homes.”

"If Your Majesty were to extend a royal favor at this moment and exempt the victims from taxes, and even provide cattle and farm tools and seeds, the victims would be grateful for your Majesty's great imperial favor."
