On the first day, before nightfall, Han Youhua spent 67,000 coins.
There is good news and bad news.
A large amount of rice, flour, cloth, and the daily needs of the people were sent to the north of the city.
Ji Ying led a group of craftsmen and common people to quickly build a simple and large market nearly a mile long, along the official road.
The identities of the two princes Can Gui and Zhou Yan were displayed there, and many merchants and aristocratic families wanted to give them some face.
There was a lot of bad news. It was snowing heavily again, and some "refugees" came one after another from various counties. The number was not large, just a few hundred.
They can be resettled, have a good meal, sleep, and go directly to work. The problem is that the Ministry of Rites has directly destroyed it. The refugees are originally under their control.
Han You scolded him for a long time. After asking, he found out that the Ministry of Rites was like this. Everything was within their responsibilities, and everything could be outside their responsibilities. If there was something related to them, but others were willing to take over. , then they don’t need to worry about it. If you do more, you will make more mistakes, if you do less, you will make no mistakes.
From the perspective of the Ministry of Rites, the appearance of refugees and the settlement of Han You was equivalent to the absence of refugees.
However, these refugees said that two more counties were affected by the disaster. Snow had accumulated for days and many houses collapsed. Seeing that the new year is approaching, the price of food in these two counties is getting higher and higher, and the official food has been released. , not enough. If the people living outside the city have no savings in the first place and their houses are not habitable, they can only become refugees and run to the capital.
Han You is worried about another thing. More and more discounts are being sent to Beijing, all of which are related to disasters in various areas.
The ancients were most afraid of this and were most taboo about this. Now is the first year of the new king's accession to the throne. The disasters in various places are so severe that it is easy for people to think of such things as "warnings from heaven".
As luck would have it, misfortune never comes alone. Han You was already in a bad mood, but a Jingzhao government official came back, and Han You caused trouble.
Han Bairen went to the Beijing Camp in the morning and took several heads of the household department to start checking the heads. At first, he looked businesslike. However, after checking for a while, Han Bairen finally revealed his true nature. He transferred three general banners and one school captain , a deputy general hung up the flagpole.
Finding problems and reporting them to the court is the formal procedure. You cannot do things based on Han Bairen's preferences.
Now is the critical moment for Han You to implement the "replacement" plan. It is conceivable that many courtiers and family members will make a fuss about Han Bairen.
Lao Han is also a talented person. He has hung the flagpole for so many people in Gongma camp. He has not returned to the city at night. He has taken several officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs to other Beijing camp camps. He probably stayed in other camps at night and was also arrested. I really found out the answer and was stabbed by others.
Han You thought about it. He originally wanted to go there, but he also thought about his son going to settle matters for his father. It was easy for his father to lose face, so he simply went about his own affairs.
When night fell, Han You checked the accounts and found that the material acquisition was going well. He stretched himself out and took his people back to the Han Mansion to sleep.
After a night of silence, Han You got up early the next day, changed his clothes, and prepared to go to court. Firstly, he would go to the court to smooth things over for his father, and secondly, it was time to meet Zhenzhang with the ministers.
This time, Han You did not take the "special passage" and stood honestly outside the palace, waiting with the ministers to open the palace door.
After the palace door opened, Han You followed the civil and military personnel to Jingzhi Palace. When he reached the bottom of the steps, he stood at the end of the line of military generals.
During this period, no one from Wen Chen's side glanced at Han You, as if nothing happened.
Han You knew in his heart that at least a third of this group of civil servants who were just like normal people wanted to die without their bodies intact.
Seeing that the whip was about to be blown, Zhou Zhenghuai, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, suddenly walked over.
After all, he was the minister, so several military generals gave way.
"Why bother, why bother."
From the capable to the ministerial level, which one is ill-informed and which one is stupid.
Yesterday Han You sent people to buy people's livelihood supplies on a large scale. How could Zhou Zhenghuai not know about it, and how could he not guess what Han You was going to do.
“The sky is brighter when you take a step back.”
Zhou Zhenghuai did not deliberately lower his voice: "No matter how capable you Han You are, how many people you can treat kindly, you Han You just treat the people kindly..."
Lao Zhou turned around and said loudly: "Those beasts whose ancestors were so shameless and humble that they were killed by five thunderbolts and their entire family were all waiting to see your joke."
Wenwu looked sideways and understood. Lao Zhou supported Han You as always.
Seeing that many civil servants were looking at him, Lao Zhou stared and shouted: "What are you looking at? I am talking about you. If you have the ability, come out of the palace and have a fight!"
Before Han You could say anything, Qian Ji, the Minister of Rites, walked over and laughed.
"I also have a lot of food stored in my house. The younger members of the family have also stored food in Xia County. I have ordered my servants to pick it up this morning. However, I can't let you take advantage of it. I will charge you 80% of the market price. Every cent is essential. .”
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Shouting and Situ Yu, the Minister of Household Affairs, also came over. They didn't say anything. The former nodded in greeting and the latter gave a salute.
Many civil servants looked shocked. They knew that Han You was well connected in the "high-level circles", but most of them thought that these "high-level circles" were loyal to the emperor and were only for Han You, the emperor's personal soldier. It's just about face, personal relationships are casual.
Seeing that three of the six ministers openly supported Han You, many people began to murmur in their hearts.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Zhao Tai, the official minister, also came over.
However, Artest did not support Han You. He came over and pointed at his nose and scolded: "Han You, look at the good things you have done. You and Zhao Xiong..."
Don't say too much, just mention your name.
Han You said cheerfully: "What's wrong with Zhao Xiong?"
"you…"
"Did I misunderstand?" Han You said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Your fourth uncle went to the Han Mansion yesterday and what he meant was that he would not let me touch Zhao Xiong. I didn't touch him either. Not only did I not touch him, but We had a great time talking, and Zhao Xiong was too embarrassed to say goodbye even if he didn’t give me some money. Why, you’re not happy? If you’re not happy, why don’t you go find Zhao Xiong!”
Han You was still smiling just now, but when he said the last sentence, Han You changed his face.
Zhao Tai's heart skipped a beat at this change of expression, and he realized something was wrong.
In fact, he came here just to say something about Han You. He didn't do it very well. He gave you 500,000 guan, and then you turned around and sold it to me, and then sold me another 500,000 guan, pocketing us inside and out. The Zhao family has millions of dollars, but we, the Zhao family, are being treated as fools.
Seeing the cold look in Han You's eyes, Zhao Tai asked subconsciously: "Have I offended you again without knowing it?"
"What do you think? Is your money for me? It is for the palace. If I don't send it to the palace, once His Majesty knows about it, he will think that I am greedy for money. But I want to send it to the palace." , not to mention that I can’t make a penny, but His Majesty has to strictly prohibit me from touching Zhao Xiong, do you think I can’t see through your little tricks?”
"You actually saw through it." Zhao Tai said expressionlessly, "You are so smart."
After finishing speaking, Zhao Taihe walked back leisurely as if nothing happened.
"There is no good person in the Zhao family."
Han You was not surprised at all, Zhao Tai was this kind of birdman.
"That's right." Qian Ji smiled and scolded: "If it weren't for the Zhao family, who could have contacted so many people privately to target you."
"What."
Han You was confused: "The merchant would rather not make money but put pressure on the Ministry of Household Affairs to target me. Is the Zhao family the mastermind behind this?"
Qian Ji nodded and said a name, Zhao Xiong.
Han You was stunned for a moment, and then his mind started to spin rapidly.
The merchant must have been planning this matter for a long time. At that time, Zhao Xiong didn't know that Zhao Tai would become a servant, and he didn't meet him, so it was understandable that he would do these things against himself.
Qian Ji warned: "Zhao Xiong is extraordinary. Don't be impulsive or make a big fight."
"Before, Zhao Xiong secretly targeted me..."
Han You burst out laughing: "This is great."
After saying that, Han You ran away and ran towards the outside of the palace.
He was not worried about his father's affairs because Huang Youwei went to court today.
