Wei Zhongxian did not stay in Jiannu for too long. Firstly, he wanted to return to the court to resume his duties, and secondly, he was worried about his life.
Although this Amin seems to be very enthusiastic on the surface, he even wants to take his brother's position, and he may be killed one day, so it is better to be cautious.
After returning to Kyoto, he immediately returned his orders to the emperor.
Chongzhen was extremely satisfied with how he handled this matter, but Wei Zhongxian was now in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies and had nothing to reward him, so he asked him what he wanted.
Wei Zhongxian, on the other hand, was so upset that he burst into tears and said that he wanted to share His Majesty's worries.
Seeing this scene, the emperor was very satisfied and rewarded him with ten thousand taels of silver. As for the remaining share, he asked him to give it to Hu Yunqing.
It was autumn in a blink of an eye, and Wei Zhongxian went to build a slave once.
But what he didn't expect was that even with the help of so many shells from him, Amin and Huang Taiji would lose three out of three battles! Just a noob.
But even so, he still sold the cannonballs to Amin and instigated him to continue the war.
After returning to Kyoto, according to the emperor's order, he came to Hu Yunqing's home as soon as possible.
"This guy Huang Taiji is really awesome."
After listening to Wei Zhongxian's words, Hu Yunqing touched his chin and couldn't help but frowned. Regarding the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, except Kangxi, he felt that the most powerful one was Huang Taiji.
If this guy lived a few more years, Daming would probably forget faster.
"No matter how powerful this guy is, he can't escape Mr. Hu's magical plan."
Wei Zhongxian quickly poured the water and said with a smile, "In the end, he was not controlled by us. In the end, he was just destroying himself by fighting with us."
Hu Yunqing just smiled and didn't say much.
He is a time traveler after all, and has so many buffs.
If this is the current situation, it is still unclear whether we can turn the tide on our own.
But in the final analysis, these men are never his opponents.
"If you still need cannonballs, arrange for someone to deliver them to him."
He picked up the banknotes on the table, counted them, and said with a chuckle, "After all, they might be better at it than fighting among us."
"That's true. Speaking of ruthlessness, they are really ruthless."
Wei Zhongxian sat back on his seat, "You don't know, Amin killed several of Huang Taiji's envoys without even seeing them, and asked them to send back the dead man's ears."
"Huang Taiji still wants to seek peace."
Hu Yunqing nodded, holding the teacup and muttered, "It would be really difficult if Dorgon and Duduo were still here."
But now that both of them are dead, Huang Taiji is unable to survive alone.
"By the way, there has been a severe drought in the northwest and the Central Plains recently, right?"
He didn't struggle with this for too long. After all, for him, Daming could still continue to support it.
"It's exactly as the master expected."
Wei Zhongxian is naturally aware of these things. After all, Bi Ziyan from the Ministry of Revenue has applied many times, hoping to be able to adjust grain for disaster relief. After all, Shanxi merchants have stored so much grain that it is now difficult to buy it on the market.
Although there are some in the national treasury, the distant water cannot save the nearby fire, and the remaining prefectures and counties are already in great difficulty.
"It's exactly as I expected."
When Hu Yunqing heard this, he nodded immediately and said in a deep voice, "This is a natural disaster and cannot be alleviated by power."
"Sir, I have saved so much food in business now that there is very little left on the market."
Wei Zhongxian frowned and couldn't help but said, "Can your Majesty close the net? After all, people must starve to death now. When the time comes..."
"Not yet."
Hu Yunqing shook his head, put down the teacup and said, "Now that they have not shown their flaws, there is no reason to punish them. Besides, what if they are forced to panic and directly take food to join the slaves?"
"Besides, they are not the only ones with food in their hands."
He smiled nonchalantly, "This year's weather is indeed bad, but it doesn't have a particularly big impact on potatoes, corn, and sweet potatoes."
"Brother Xian and I have planted so much here, isn't it enough to solve the problem? Besides, if I want to do this, the emperor will have to give me more, right?"
Not only did he want to earn money from establishing slaves, but he also wanted to earn money from the Ming Emperor.
"Sir, that's fine."
When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he smiled awkwardly. I am afraid that only the young master in front of him dared to put his idea on the emperor's head.
Moreover, it is estimated that His Majesty will not say much.
"By the way, the disaster in the northwest is very serious. You have to ask my dear brother to tell Wei Zhongxian as soon as possible. There can be no chaos and no deaths."
Hu Yunqing didn't pay attention to Wei Zhongxian's expression, and still said with a serious face, "Remember?"
"Understood, I will definitely convey it."
Wei Zhongxian was secretly proud. No matter what, he still made Mr. Hu remember his name, which was indirectly a good thing.
"By the way, there is one more thing I need you to help me with."
Hu Yunqing stood up, looked out the window at Zhu Si and others who were harvesting sweet potatoes, and said, "Although I am currently holding the position of a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, I have never had any dealings with the government. I recently set up a factory, and you can help me I'll run and get the transaction voucher for me."
"I'll definitely help!"
Wei Zhongxian stood up immediately and spoke without hesitation.
Such little things are easy for him.
Of course, if Hu Yunqing goes to Shuntian Mansion, those guys will definitely fawn over him. It is not difficult at all.
"That Mr. Hu, what kind of shop is the factory you are talking about? What is its main business?"
Wei Zhongxian still couldn't help being curious and asked.
"As for the business, we have everything and we do everything."
Hu Yunqing stretched, turned around and replied, "Isn't there a drought now? My main life is selling and collecting food! It won't be long before the victims of the disaster in the Central Plains will flock to the capital."
"When the time comes, I will collect a group of these people and let them work for me. This will not only solve the problem of the government, but also allow my brother and I to accumulate a certain reputation."
After all, if you want to become bigger and stronger, you must have momentum.
As long as you build up your good brother's reputation, everything will be much easier in the future, whether in government or in public.
"Young Master's idea is really great."
Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but smile when he heard this. In this way, not only were the victims taken in, but they also saved some money and food for the court!
Definitely a great thing.
"Don't worry, I will handle this matter for you right away!"
Wei Zhongxian spoke without hesitation.
