The next day, Su Qing received the summons and went to the palace early.
By that time, Xiao Hansu, Mo Xu and Mu Yuchen had also arrived.
Jing Ziheng talked about how to resist the drought this time.
Fortunately, Su Qing had already presented the memorial to him.
After reading it, he talked about it in the morning today.
Duke Lu also agreed and felt that Xiao Han Sue's advice is great.
So Jing Ziheng planned to wait for the drought to be resolved and the soldiers to come back, and then give them promotions after rewarding the three armies.
Su Qing had seen the method Xiao Hansu gave to resist the drought.
It was not an immediate method, but it would be very good for the future.
What they needed to discuss now was how to carry out the plan smoothly so that the victims of this disaster could Survive the drought successfully.
Although the war has basically subsided, the food and grass for the three armies must not be moved.
If it is moved, it is likely to shake the foundation.
Therefore, Xiao Hansu's plan is to provide this batch of disaster relief food from officials and rich people, which means to collect donations.
After reading this suggestion, Duke Guo of Lu agreed.
He said that he would donate one thousand taels of silver first, and then other officials would follow.
Those who were able would donate more, and those who were not able would donate less.
The emperor would reward them one by one.
He thanked them and promised to give them gifts after the disaster was over.
Su Qing and others knew in their hearts that Duke Lu did not really want to help these people who were affected by the disaster.
He was a dignified Duke and only donated one thousand taels.
How many other officials in the court dared to do more than him?
It seems that he is helping to raise money for the drought, but in fact he is suppressing other officials in disguise.
Xiao Hansu and the others knew that Duke Lu wanted to take advantage of the severe drought to suppress them.
After all, the drought was not a matter of one or two people, and the people in the court alone could not save them.
It is estimated that Lu Guozheng was very proud at this time, Xiao Hansu, that arrogant boy.
This time it is destined to be deflated.
But he never expected that Jing Ziheng had a secret plan with him.
He only told the first half, but not the second half of the plan.
The emperor's imperial edict has been issued.
This drought is serious.
In order to alleviate the drought, everyone in the city has been summoned.
The rich pay.
Those who have no money contribute their efforts to help the disaster-stricken people build a paradise together.
In fact, there are many rich people in the capital, but everyone knows it well.
It is simply idiotic to ask them to spend money and food to rescue the people who are currently suffering from the disaster.
If the Emperor Meng doesn't do something, where will the white snowflakes and silver come from?
Xiao Hansu and Mo Xu have also put forward specific countermeasures in their memorials.
The first is to raise funds by name.
However, the rich people in the capital are all money-hungry roosters.
Most people are unwilling to give money to help others, so someone needs to offer a certain temptation.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.
Businessmen are the lowest, but many of them are often rich, but there is also a saying that being rich is unkind, so they will not easily pay for it.
At this time, I don’t know who sent the message, saying that the emperor intends to use the situation of fundraising to recruit officials.
After hearing this, those rich households went to the donation places desperately to send money.
But at the end of the day, it’s just a small amount of money.

It doesn't solve any real problem.
In the evening, the emperor also heard the news.
The next morning at court, Long Yan was furious and ordered a thorough investigation to find out who had released such nonsense.
Finally, after much investigation, it turned out that it was the Duke of Lu who had released it, and there was evidence.
When the emperor saw that it was the Duke of Lu, he said that he must be caring about the people affected by the disaster.
Although the method used was wrong, his heart was commendable, so he would not pursue it and praised him.
Everyone thinks about it, the Duke of Lu agrees with this proposal to raise funds, but does it make sense that he only contributed one thousand taels of silver?
So it is possible that he would want to help the emperor "share the worries".
Who makes him an assistant?
Where is the Assistant Minister of Civil Affairs?
So he had to wear this tall hat even if he didn't want to wear it.
This result seemed like he had gained a lot, but it offended the wealthy households in Jing Dynasty, and he felt itchy in his heart.
At this stage of the plan, the overt and covert fundraising failed to raise enough money, so Xiao Hansu single-handedly promoted another plan, which was to cause trouble in the residences of certain officials in recent years.
Speaking of which, I came here.
After Su Qing and the others left, Su Yi found a few secret guards with good skills to pretend to be me.
They occasionally went out to commit crimes, but those who went there were usually the minions of Duke Lu or for others.
The residence of an unclean official.
In order to confuse the situation, I also went to Prince Zhesu's Mansion once.
When Xiao Hansu found out about this, he even had a fight with Su Qing.
Let's not mention it for now.
Whenever they go back, they never steal anything, they just make a fuss and leave.
Therefore, for more than three years, the Duke of Lu has been suspecting that I am really not from Su Qing.
They just took money from the Su family and went to his Duke of Lu's mansion to make a fuss.
I won't say this for now. carry.
This day I came and started taking action again.
They said that although they were bandits, they also wanted to be officials.
But what should I do if I don’t have money to donate to the government?
So they decided to rob That night they randomly selected a wealthy household and planned to rob them, but they happened to be stopped by Su Qing, Xiao Hansu, Mo Xu and Mu Yuchen who were passing by in the middle of the night.
Although the property was not lost, they escaped when I came.
I declare that sooner or later they will come out to rob again.
They are bandits and usually don't pay attention to what's going on in the city.
Although the emperor has clarified the official donation incident, their attitude clearly shows that they don't know.
So everyone in the capital's wealthy families begins to feel insecure.
Who knows what they will do next time?
If you come out to commit crimes again, whose house will you choose?
On this day, the emperor thought of a way to alleviate the crisis in the city.
He decreed that in order to relieve the disaster, there was not enough money and food.
As long as people contributed money and food, the country would return half a cent of profit on a bi-monthly basis.
Obviously, the profits offered by the emperor are much higher than those deposited in banks, and they are also safe.
Because the Jing Dynasty strictly prohibited usury, and the late emperor felt that the prices in the capital were too high, he wanted to suppress them, so he issued a policy that required the bank's interest to be no more than three years a year.
Therefore, most banks only had two a year.
Share profits.
And according to the benefits given by the emperor, which is equivalent to three years, it is also insured.
Why don't they put it into the national treasury?
After such a fuss, enough money and food were raised, and the rest was for officials from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Household Affairs to share the responsibility.

In order to prevent them from embezzling, the emperor sent Prince Zhesu to be the supervisor.
He needs to have status and ability, and the key point is that he will not take bribes and bend the law, let alone anyone trying to bribe him.
Because he was assisting military affairs, he could not speak in civil affairs, but he still spoke very forcefully.
In addition, he had a grudge against Duke Lu, and he would not cooperate with Duke Lu just to get some money.
Therefore, this time the supervisor It has to be him. x2412141:
