Halfway through Mao time.
There is still half an hour until midnight in winter.
In the past, the main entrance of Jingzhao Mansion was always deserted at this hour.
At this time, dozens of officials gathered.
The strange thing is that despite the large number of people, no one started talking.
Dozens of pairs of tired eyes always looked at the streets outside Jingzhao Mansion from time to time.
As if eagerly waiting for someone to arrive.
Inside the gate of the mansion, groups of government officials passed by from time to time.
If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that at least half of the group of government officials appeared at the gate of the mansion in this short morning.
As time goes by slowly.
Except for the people who got up in the morning, there was no one else on the street in front of Jingzhao Mansion.
Gradually, the officials who originally stood at the entrance of the mansion gradually became restless.
For a time, the entire Jingzhao Mansion seemed to be shrouded in an invisible haze.
The heavy and uneasy atmosphere suppressed everyone's heart and could not help but feel a sense of despair that was on the verge of suffocation.
Since Xu Yiyin left.
Everyone has been waiting here, waiting for Xu Yi's return.
No one knows why Emperor Zhengde summoned Xu Yi in such a hurry.
No one knows why the person coming from the palace is not a eunuch, but a heavily armed Ouchi Mingguang battalion.
No one knows whether Xu Yi's trip is auspicious or unlucky.
Now, all they can do is wait patiently.
Unknowingly, most of the officials in Jingzhao Mansion became like grasshoppers on a rope with Xu Yi.
When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed.
Just when everyone was panicked.
A carriage suddenly appeared at the end of the street in the distance.
"Here it comes! A carriage is coming!" the official shouted excitedly.
"Where are they?" The officials who were at the back and whose altitude was not too high all stood on tiptoes or even jumped directly on the spot, just to see the man return with their own eyes.
Zhang Yuan frowned and looked intently. There was indeed a carriage approaching quickly not far away.
For some reason he always felt that the specifications of the carriage were wrong.
But then he thought about it. He had heard about the palace sending carriages to pick people up, and even had the honor to ride in them once.
But he had never heard of the palace sending a carriage to see someone off.
"Huh~!"
Zhang Kaiyuan let out a heavy breath and thought to himself: "Perhaps the Sixth Prince left the palace and returned in search of a carriage."
Thinking about this.
Zhang Kaiyuan quickly walked down the steps and walked towards the carriage.
As soon as Zhang Kaiyuan moved, dozens of officials behind him naturally strode to follow him.
This time, the driver was so frightened that he hurriedly stopped his horse.
Dozens of officials wearing various official uniforms were walking towards him, and one can imagine the feeling.
Fortunately, this place is only a few dozen steps away from the main entrance of Jingzhao Mansion.
As soon as the carriage came to a complete stop, Kaiyuan Yuan and others swarmed over.
Kai Yuan and others saluted without waiting. @·No mistake first release~~
The curtain was opened from inside, and a middle-aged man in a medical officer's uniform walked out of the carriage.
The middle-aged man was completely stunned by the sight before his legs even landed on the ground.
The captain of the palace, Kai Yuan, the leader of the third squad, the chief bookkeeper and the clerk of the sixth squad, it can be said that except for Jingzhao Yin Xu Yi who has not yet arrived, the rest have arrived.
'Are you here to greet me? "The middle-aged man couldn't help but murmur to himself.
But soon, he put that unrealistic idea out of his mind.
Without him, he was just the chief registrar of Taiyuan Hospital. How could He De allow Kai Yuan and others to greet him in person.
While Wu Shiping was stunned, dozens of officials in the entire Jingzhao Mansion were also inevitably stunned on the spot.
I got the wrong person and made a mistake...
Fortunately, everyone has not yet come to salute. If they salute... it will be great fun.
Wu Shiping forcibly composed himself, and then he bowed his hands and said, "Wu Shiping, the chief registrar of Taiyuan Hospital, has met Mr. Fu Wei and all my colleagues."
In an instant, all the officials came to their senses.
They all returned the favor.
For a while, the originally frozen atmosphere was slightly relieved.
Zhang Yuan collected himself and then said, "Did Master Wu's trip go smoothly?"
Wu Shiping cupped his hands and smiled and said, "Thanks to Mr. Jing Zhaoyin, all your lords and colleagues, everything went well on this trip."
This remark was not meant by Wu Shiping to compliment everyone.
But this is the fact.
As the actions of Jingzhao Mansion became more and more intense, the people of Chang'an City seemed to be gradually twisted into a rope.
Originally, it would have taken at least more than ten days to count all the medicinal materials and register them in categories based on the medical officer transferred from their hospital.
But with the influx of a large number of folk doctors, how many days did it take? All the medicinal materials used for disaster relief have been sorted out.
Zhang Kaiyuan smiled, exchanged a few pleasantries, and let him into the Jingzhao Mansion.
Everyone then waited patiently at the main entrance of Jingzhao Mansion again.
The accidental episode did not alleviate the depression in everyone's hearts.
On the contrary, it was slightly aggravated.
Nothing else.
If Xu Yi really leaves this time and never comes back, let's not improve his official position and make a fortune and a series of other interests.
Just thinking that the great situation that everyone has worked so hard and painstakingly to open up in the past few days will completely fall apart with Xu Yi gone forever, everyone feels as if they have eaten a mute and eaten a yellow lotus. The pain is unspeakable.
Just as the atmosphere in front of Jingzhao Mansion condensed again.
On the street not far away, a figure appeared again.
One person and one horse galloped towards the location of Jingzhao Mansion.
When most of the officials saw this, they all rubbed their eyes wildly, as if they were afraid of admitting the wrong person.
Only Zhao Shou remained silent among the crowd.
When he saw the man and horse galloping towards him, his face instantly showed a look of ecstasy.
"Sixth Master! It's Sixth Master who's back!" Zhao Shou exclaimed, then passed the crowd and ran towards that person quickly.
When everyone saw this, they no longer hesitated immediately and followed Zhao Shou's figure with strode towards the man and horse.
The other side of the street.
Seeing Zhao Shou and dozens of officials from Jingzhao Mansion quickly greet him.
Xu Yi couldn't help but feel a flash of shame on his face.
After gathering his composure, he immediately accelerated his horse and ran towards the crowd.
"Hey!" As he approached, Xu Yi gradually slowed down his horse, and then he picked up the reins and stopped the horse.
"I will pay my respects to Mr. Jing Zhaoyin." Kaiyuan Yuan and dozens of other officials looked at Xu Yi on horseback. They breathed a sigh of relief and saluted in unison.
Xu Yi turned over and dismounted, raised his hands in return and said calmly: "Everyone, please get up quickly."
When everyone stood up and saw their haggard faces and bloodshot eyes.
Xu Yi couldn't help but feel ashamed.
After leaving the market stall, Xu Yi could have rushed all the way in advance.
But I don’t know why, maybe it’s to confuse the eyeliners behind me, or maybe I want to relax a little while it’s still early.
Or maybe it's because he hasn't experienced the nostalgia of the city for a long time.
he......
He actually...
He actually found another stall and ordered another dish of mutton in a water basin...
Looking at the tired faces in front of him, Xu Yi couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
At the same time, I kept warning myself in my heart that I should remember today’s lesson and never let down my guard again in the future!
Calm down.
Xu Yi bowed deeply to all the officials and said solemnly: "It was Yi's greed for food and drink on the way that made all my colleagues worried for a long time. Yi would like to apologize to you all."
"And I promise that I will not make today's mistake again in the future. I hope all my colleagues will bear witness."
As soon as this statement came out, dozens of officials, including Kaiyuan Yuan, were all as confused as Monk Zhanger, with their heads full of confusion.
Xu Yi naturally didn't explain too much.
When I came, I felt ashamed.
Secondly, it won't be long before the news that he ate two bowls of mutton from a water basin will most likely spread throughout Chang'an City. By then, everyone will know. .
What Xu Yi didn't know was that today's apology would become a good story in the near future and would be circulated for a long time.
When everyone was confused.
Zhang Yuanyuan calmed down and asked the question that everyone was most concerned about at this time: "Did your trip go well?"
In an instant, countless pairs of eyes looked at Xu Yi quietly with expectant eyes.
Xu Yi returned, and everyone's worries were half relieved.
As for the remaining half, whether to put it down completely or hang it up again depends on Xu Yi's next answer.
In an instant, the atmosphere in front of Jingzhao Mansion solidified again.
What's more, he didn't even dare to take a breath.
Xu Yi looked at everyone and nodded slightly.
When everyone saw this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as they knew that the trip went smoothly, as for what Emperor Zhengde and Xu Yi said between them, it was not their place to ask.
Xu Yi smiled, then waved his hand and said: "It's still early, so why don't you go and rest for a while? It won't be long before Jingzhao Mansion will be even busier than before. By then, if you want to rest, you will be in trouble." It’s as good as heaven.”
As soon as this statement came out.
Instead of showing any signs of distress on their faces, dozens of officials were all smiling.
No one knows better than them what busyness means at this critical moment.
No one knows better than them what they can get in exchange for being busy.
In an instant, dozens of officials all bowed their hands and said goodbye, quickly walking back to the house, cherishing the hard-won short rest.
...
Time passes like a fleeting moment.
In the blink of an eye, it's half past midnight.
Xu Yi sat behind the desk and slowly scanned every face in the lobby.
At the same time, Zhao Shou stood under the high platform holding the roster and recited the names one after another.
After many days, the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion was once again overcrowded.
Except for the doctor from the Ministry of Industry and his staff, all the other people who were outside have returned.
After a while.
Xu Yi sat behind the desk and ordered in an orderly manner: "Huo Chenghu, Qu Jingyi, Tian Shuliang, Wen Boxing, Fang Zhong."
The words are over.
"I order you, according to yesterday's deployment, to seal down all the trading houses and search all the houses!" Xu Yi ordered in a deep voice.
The four of them immediately raised their hands and saluted, saying loudly: "Obey the order!"
Xu Yi immediately looked at Kaiyuan Yuan and Qiu Ming, and said loudly: "Kaifai Yuan, Qiu Ming!"
When the two heard this, they immediately strode out of the queue and responded loudly: "The official is here."
Xu Yi ordered in a deep voice: "Order a hundred people from the Ministry of Household Affairs to do their best to liquidate the grain, gold and silver and other items that have been seized from the trading houses."
"Command the commanding officer Kai Yuan to take charge of the central city and take charge of the overall situation!"
The words are over.
The two of them bowed their hands and said loudly: "Follow the order!"
With two orders, the originally overcrowded lobby of Jingzhao Mansion instantly became spacious.
Xu Yi immediately looked at the rest of them and ordered in a deep voice: "Except for the Imperial Hospital, everything remains as usual."
"Follow the order!" Everyone responded loudly, and then quickly walked out of the lobby of Jingzhao Mansion and plunged into the busy day. _o_m
It doesn't take a while.
Only two masters and servants, Xu Yi and Wu Shiping, were left in the lobby.
Just when Wu Shiping and others were feeling frightened and uneasy, they didn't know why Xu Yi left him and others alone.
Xu Yi picked up an account book from the desk.
He looked at the crowd and said, "I have already read the account books submitted by Master Wu."
Wu Shiping paused and said hurriedly: "Sir, this account book was checked by my subordinate personally. There will definitely be no problem with the accounts."
Whether there is any problem with the accounts, Xu Yi only needs to make a conversion and get the result quickly.
Seeing that Wu Shiping misunderstood.
Xu Yi chuckled, and then said: "Master Wu misunderstood, I did not say there was a problem with the accounts."
Hearing this, Wu Shiping couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Xu Yi in confusion.
Xu Yi's face straightened and he slowly said, "I'll take a look.
The various types of medicinal materials in this account book are relatively complete in terms of quantity and type. "
"I left Master Wu and others alone. My original intention was to let Master Wu and others divide it into several packages of medicine for treating typhoid fever."
Although most of the victims outside the city died of hunger, it is undeniable that a large number of victims also died due to lack of timely treatment for typhoid fever.
Wu Shi's face showed a thoughtful expression.
After a while.
Wu Shiping raised his hand and replied: "This is not difficult, but this method cannot increase or decrease the medicinal materials in time according to the patient's own condition, so as to achieve a complete cure."
Xu Yi said with a serious face: "If the dosage is controlled to a certain amount, can it be effective in treating mild patients and saving the lives of severe patients?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Shiping clasped his fists without thinking and said, "If that's the case, it's not difficult. May I ask, sir, how much of these medicines should be prepared?"
Xu Yi ordered in a deep voice: "Get the right amount first! Then we will increase it depending on the usage."
But similarly, even if all the doctors in Chang'an City were invested, it would be a drop in the bucket.
Xu Yi's move can at least save the lives of countless victims as much as possible.
As for why it is necessary to take stock first and arrange later.
Quite simply, since the drought broke out, due to the inaction and reckless actions of the previous two Jing Zhaoyins, the accounts of medicines used for disaster relief in the entire Chang'an City have actually been in disrepair.
In addition, I don't know if it was to cover up the fact that the previous two Jing Zhaoyins were corrupt, all the medicinal materials used for disaster relief in the warehouse were scattered and mixed together.
When Zhou Qiping was appointed as Jing Zhaoyin, he obviously devoted all his energy to food and anti-corruption.
This is also the fundamental reason why Xu Yi sent all the medical officers from Tai Hospital to check out the medicinal materials as soon as they came to report.
Xu Yi calmed down and then ordered again: "In addition, there are 3,000 copies of medicinal materials for preventing typhoid fever for 100 people."
As soon as this statement came out.
A troubled expression appeared on Wu Shiping's face for a moment, and he slowly said: "There is nothing wrong with the medicinal materials for preventing typhoid fever for 3,000 people. The problem is that the existing medicinal materials lack the main ingredients of the two golden sore medicines."
Xu Yi frowned slightly, and then asked in a deep voice: "Can I buy those two medicinal materials in Chang'an City?"
Wu Shiping nodded and said: "Yes, those two medicinal materials are not too scarce. Ordinary drug stores will have some in stock."
Xu Yi frowned, slowly studied the ink, then picked up the pen and wrote a few lines on the paper, stamped with Jing Zhaoyin's seal.
He handed it to Zhao Shou beside him and motioned for him to send it off.
Then he said: "Go to the treasury with my official documents to collect the money."
Is it still a problem that can be solved with money? What's more, after successive house raids, the most important thing in Jingzhao Mansion is money.
"Follow the order!" Wu Shiping took the sealed document and saluted.
...
When there were only two masters and servants left in the lobby.
Xu Yi slowly moved aside the medicinal materials account that he had already seen.
Then he picked up the grain and grass accounts presented by Qiu Ming and others from the Ministry of Accounts and looked at them carefully.
While reading, I picked up a pen and wrote down symbols on the paper that were different from this era.
With these symbols, it would take others several days to calculate the accounts clearly.
It only takes an hour or two with Xu Yi, and most of the time is wasted on copying and converting.
For this reason, Xu Yi was never afraid of others tampering with the accounts.
This is also the fundamental reason why Xu Yi has not promoted it for a long time.
It's just not until the time comes.
...
Noon (11 a.m.)
Xu Yi threw the last account book aside casually.
Holding the Langhao pen, he completed the last step in three or two steps.
In an instant, the amount of food before taking office appeared on the paper.
Looking at the amount of food in front of me, it was down to the bucket.
Xu Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "This is not enough food for disaster relief for more than a month! If this food is really used for disaster relief according to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if it is the lowest standard, it can only last for half a month at most."
You won’t know if you don’t check, but you’ll be shocked if you check.
.
What Tian Yichu, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, said on the day of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony was completely fart.
"Huh~!"
Xu Yi let out a heavy breath. What happened now, even with the donations from the people and the food obtained from the house raids.
The food gap in Guanzhong is still a huge problem.
With the current amount of grain reserves, it is tantamount to wishful thinking to wait for the next batch of disaster relief grains to be shipped to counties.
"It seems that we have to take it from the people and use it for the people!" Xu Yi stood up slowly, a cold light flashing in his eyes.
As for going to the Ministry of Household Affairs to collect food, there is no need to think about it.
The food from the Ministry of Revenue is used to ensure the normal operation of Chang'an City, and it is simply impossible to give it to him.
Therefore, you have to rely on yourself for everything."
Xu Yi turned his head and glanced at the clock beside the desk. It was already about noon.
Then he raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the palace.
After paying attention for a long time, he let out a heavy breath.
Then he slowly took his seat, picked up the Langhao pen again, and slowly sorted out the second big plan, and even the third, fourth, and even the ninth and tenth big plans on the white rice paper.
No matter how many plans there are, they will all point to a big goal in the end.
Nowadays, it’s just a matter of making more preparations to be prepared.
...
at the same time.
Inside the Zichen Hall of Daming Palace. @*~~
Emperor Zhengde slowly opened his eyes on the huge bed.
The concubine who was sleeping next to him had already left after dawn.
"What time is it?" Emperor Zhengde stood up slowly, leaned on the side of the bed, and said calmly.
Zhan Zhu, who has been waiting outside the palace for a long time, will reply after hearing this: "Return to your majesty, it's noon."
"It's already noon." Emperor Zhengde slowly shook his slightly dizzy head.
After all, I am getting older. Even if I take incense and pills, my head will still be dizzy after staying up late.
Zhan Zhu walked in slowly.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you want me to send Dr. Feng to come and see you?"
"It doesn't matter." Emperor Zhengde shook his head slightly.
Then he ordered: "Get my elixir."
Zhan Zhu agreed, and then took out an extremely ornate brocade box with carved dragons and phoenixes from the wooden stand on the side.
Open it and present it respectfully to Emperor Zhengde.
Emperor Zhengde frowned slightly as he looked at the last pill left in the brocade box.
Then he reached out and took it out, raised his head and swallowed it.
The elixir itself was made from various rare herbs mixed with some magical techniques that Emperor Zhengde could not understand.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect or if it’s really a miraculous effect.
After a while, Emperor Zhengde's face gradually turned rosy.
After a while.
Emperor Zhengde sat behind the imperial court.
He frowned slightly and looked at the imperial edict on the imperial case.
He seemed to be thinking about business. In fact, what comes to mind is the scene from the conversation with National Preceptor Li Shaojun a few days ago.
With the advent of winter, the chance of successful alchemy has become lower and lower.
It often takes several days, or even more than ten days, to successfully prepare a batch of elixirs.
In this way, the gold and silver spent on alchemy alone will be a large amount.
Nowadays, there is a severe drought in Guanzhong and the people are in dire straits. Emperor Zhengde is naturally unable to withdraw silver from the treasury to subsidize his own internal funds.
In addition, after the spring of next year, the maintenance of Ganquan Palace and the repair of Daming Palace do not require a lot of gold and silver?
for a long time.
Emperor Zhengde frowned slightly and added two more names to the imperial edict.
Then he slowly put down the imperial pen and looked around.
After everything was confirmed to be correct, he raised the national seal and stamped it heavily.
Wait for the ink to dry.
He threw it to Zhan Zhu and said, "Go to Jingzhao Mansion."
Zhan Zhu took the imperial edict and said respectfully: "I obey the edict."
The words are over.
Zhan Zhu quickly stood up and walked out of the palace.
At the same time, two slightly younger people walked out of the side hall.
The eunuch temporarily took over Zhan Zhu's position.
Not long after I walked out of Daming Palace.
Then he met Eunuch Liu of Shuyu Palace who was coming towards him.
"I've met Eunuch Zhan." Eunuch Liu said respectfully.
Zhan Zhu nodded slightly, without stopping at all, and walked straight forward with the imperial edict in hand.
After Zhan Zhu's figure completely disappeared.
Eunuch Liu just stood up, not to mention that he was a popular eunuch of Shuyu Palace, but compared with Zhan Zhu, he was nothing more than a big one.
Eunuch Liu glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to him.
Then he quickly turned around and walked quickly in the direction he came from.
What he originally wanted to do was no longer important, the important thing was to deliver the news to his master as soon as possible. Update without error@
