The appearance of Alut's family was actually a comfort medicine for Zai Chun's restless soul. Xiao Letian understood this very early!
The pressure on Zai Chun is too great. A teenage child has to shoulder the fate of an empire with the second largest territory in the world. This kind of pressure is not something ordinary people can imagine!
This is the most dangerous job in the world. You have your head in your belt, you have to kill others every day and you have to prevent others from killing you, and in the end you have to make this country achieve a renaissance of common governance!
This kind of twisted and perverted pressure is difficult for middle-aged people like Guiziliu to bear, let alone children!
What's even worse is that the little emperor who has just taken charge of the government has very few people who really obey him. Even his direct descendants are just disobedient and show off their muscles in exchange for the little emperor's trust and rewards!
No one has studied what Qichun lacks from a psychological perspective. If you understand it through research, you will also know the reason why Arut is so favored!
It is this needed plot that Zai Chun can only get from Arute!
The result is that the more pitiful Arut is and the more she is bullied, the nicer Zai Chun becomes to her and becomes obsessed with her!
Rather than saying that Alut’s family cannot live without Zai Chun, it is better to say that Zai Chun’s emotional world cannot live without Alut’s comfort medicine!
As soon as the little emperor scolded his uncle, the queen turned pale with fright. She got out of bed and knelt on the ground to apologize. This time, all of Zai Chun's anger was released, and she went to bed with the queen with eyes full of pity!
"What are you doing? I understand personal cause and effect. Actually, I'm not angry with Baochu. I'm angry with those bastards outside... I'm using Baochu to spread evil fire. Brother, don't be picky! "
Bao Chu was so moved that tears fell down. Which of the ministers in the world has such grace as him, who was scolded a lot and finally allowed the emperor to give such persuasion?
"Your Majesty... I am too stupid to read. I don't understand Long Live Lord's painstaking efforts. How dare I be angry with Your Majesty? I am just angry that I am useless and cannot share the worries of the imperial court!"
"Haha... you! Don't talk about sharing the worries of the imperial court. Just share some of my worries with me!"
"Okay, don't kneel down. When you get up, I'll tell you... In fact, there is no shortage of food in the capital. The refugees will be gone in a few days without relief. They will find a way to survive on their own!"
"There is obviously no shortage of food on the ground, so as long as you are smart, you can still have enough to eat. Even if you poke a broken bowl and beg for food, you won't starve to death!"
"How long have the notices for recruiting workers been posted at the Qinghe construction site? If you go there, you will get wages, food and accommodation, so why don't you go work? Isn't it possible to use work-for-relief?"
"So, I will not allocate any money for relief! If he starves to death again in such a good situation, he deserves it!"
"Besides! Even if you want to provide relief, you can't put all the responsibility on me! There are so many royal nobles in the capital, and they all come here when they are enjoying the blessings. When there is a national crisis, don't they get nothing?"
"Baochu! If you really want to open a porridge shack, I won't stop you. I will allow you to go to the palaces to raise money. You can use as much alms as you can. It's up to you to do whatever you want?"
"This..." Baochu didn't know what to say for a moment. Thinking about it, what the emperor said made sense! It has always been the court's practice to provide relief through work. It is not impossible to ask the royal nobles to donate money. After all, they have been supported by the court for more than two hundred years!
It’s time to put in some oil! But no matter how you think about it, it feels a bit unreliable!
"Okay, okay, it's getting late. It's time for you to go home and visit your father-in-law and mother-in-law. I won't keep you. The court will have more use for you in the future!"
Baochu was so dizzy that he was kicked out of the Yangxin Hall by Zai Chun. When he got outside the military aircraft, he was shaken by the cold wind, "Oh... I'm going to go find those princes and ministers to raise money? That gang How can this be possible, Iron Rooster? Your Majesty, you are trying to trick me!"
But this fundraising is the emperor's will, so he has to do it! Baochu stamped his feet and went to beg for alms!
With a full half sleeve, Baochu knew what these bastards in the capital were like. Before he even opened his mouth, he heard that the uncle of the country was coming to visit, and even the prince had to greet him politely!
Prince Zheng, Prince Rui, Prince Zhuang... and several other princes from Duoluo County were all transferred to him, but the results surprised him!
The Prince of Yu could not see anyone in person, and he was maintaining law and order in the capital. Prince Dun said he was ill and did not see him, but Prince Lao Li did, but in the end the old prince gave him a thousand taels of silver!
What is this enough for? The remaining Prince Zheng, Prince Rui and others gnashed their teeth when money was mentioned and Huazi said, "If you, Mr. Baochu, use silver, you can get away with it without blinking an eye. But how about opening a warehouse to help the victims?" sorry……"
Who is stupid! If I have money, I can spend it on you. Is it okay to have a relationship with you? But should I spend it on the victims? Even if I give up the money, I'm still worried about the emperor settling the score!
Your Majesty has already rejected you. This is a clear signal, a signal of the direction of the political world, indicating that Long live the Lord is too lazy to care about these refugees. You, Baochu, are simply full.
But we can't let Bao Chubai come. Some are given 200 taels, some are given 100 taels, and the most is 250 taels... Hey, hey, you are trying to curse!
Baochu was alone and had a horse. How many restaurants could he visit in the middle of the night? In the end, the alms amounted to 1,650 taels of silver. Is this enough money to buy charcoal for making porridge?
Frustrated, Baochu angrily went home, wrapped himself in a quilt and went to sleep. He decided to run for another day tomorrow and beg as much as he could, and that was all he could do!
In fact, Baochu himself knew very well that there was no famine in the capital, there was enough food, and the price of food was not expensive!
It is because of the war that the rhythm of life in the city has been disrupted. This chaos will calm down on its own within a few days! His porridge shed is fully open for seven or eight days, so that the poor people can survive for a while!
I originally thought that I could raise six to seven thousand taels of silver to last for seven or eight days, but I didn't expect that I went to several princes and finally couldn't even raise two thousand taels!
Zai Chun's mother-in-law felt sorry for her son, so she secretly came to him to comfort him, and finally gave Bao Chu a large package of silver.
"Ah! Mother, how can you use this silver? This is your majesty's gift to the family!"
A full thousand taels of silver, not ordinary silver taels on the market, but a batch of silver ingots cast by Zai Chun alone by the Ministry of Household Affairs, small silver horseshoes, with the word "happy" and patterns of wealth on them!
This is collection-level silver, and most people would enshrine it in the ancestral hall. This is honor rather than money!
The old mother smiled and said, "Since you are willing to open a porridge shack to do charity, this is a good thing. How can your family not support it? But you also know the situation in your family. We are not a rich family, and our life is already difficult!"
"Since your sister became the queen, although there are rewards from the court, as her status increases, the corresponding favors will also increase!"
"After all, our life is actually three times tighter than before... I really don't have any extra money to give you, so I'll just use your sister's gift money!"
"Your sister is a sensible person, and your father's temper is even more so. We just discussed it in the front yard... Just use this money to buy rice and sell charcoal!"
After his mother left, Baochu sat blankly on the bed, looking at the white pieces of silver in front of him without saying a word, and sat there all night long!
