Those who can comfort themselves are comforted, and those who should be comforted are comforted. Now we can only wait for Cao Song to arrive in Beijing.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Cao family is simply "declined and lucky". Either this person is sick or dismissed from office. Cao Yong, the head of the family, thought he was unhappy.

In fact, it is indeed the case.

It was not for Cao Song's business, but for the Ministry of Revenue to be busy.

Since Zhang Tingyu was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, the responsibilities of the Ministry of Revenue were naturally mostly on Cao Yong.

In order to show his "gratitude", Yongzheng did not take Cao Yong's "same as Minister of Works" as the Minister of Works, so Cao Yong had to spend half a day to deal with the affairs of the Ministry of Works every three days.

Although the flood in the south is just coming to an end, the disaster relief matters this winter and next spring must be prepared.

The floods this spring and summer are once a century. Even though Li Wei had already written a memorial and mentioned the dam construction and flood control, Yongzheng also allocated money. However, the officials below delayed and actually built the dam and prepared fortifications before the flood arrived.

There are 336 prefectures and counties in the six southern provinces and forty-three prefectures and counties, and millions of people are suffering from disasters. This number is reported now, and there are still some new prefectures and counties that have not been reported.

Taxes should be reduced and exempted to provide relief for money and grain according to the disaster situation.

This is a tedious job. Fortunately, each department is responsible for the province. Cao Yong, the secretary of the school, only needs supervision.

In addition to the heavy burden of government affairs of the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works, what he was depressed was the word "relief".

Since ancient times, there have been fewer officials in "disaster relief"?

He can have a clear conscience, but he cannot guarantee that others will not be crazy.

If he indulges in the world, he will not only be sorry for the people, but also be punished by the crime of "miss supervision" when the matter is revealed.

Whether from a conscience or from the current situation of the Cao family, Cao Yong was unwilling to bear this charge.

Now the first thing he thought about is to plan ahead and think of a proper way, formulate various disaster relief rules, and use this to make an imperial approval to form a decree. In this way, officials at all levels have laws to follow in their actions.

If anyone commits any of them, he will not be able to affect others.

He studied law in his previous life, and often translated the Qing Dynasty's laws in this life, and now he finally found the "showing his strengths".

In addition, Jiang Jian, an aide who was born in Zhengming, picked up the vacancy. Cao Yong stayed in the study until midnight every night. After spending half a month, he finally drafted a disaster relief paper.

On the evening of August 30th, Cao Yong's relief bill came to the imperial court.

This document has more than 30,000 words, starting from the lawsuits of the Ministry of Revenue, to the governor, governor, governor, prefect, prefect, county, and minor officials who are not in the right place, all the scope of responsibility for each person in the relief are clearly marked.

This was not fabricated out of thin air, but the powers issued by the Ministry of Revenue...

point.

However, the previous part of everyone's disaster relief was mostly a custom, but now Cao Yong is literally specific.

Then the corresponding punishments are slackness, minor mistakes, fallacies, etc., and naturally greed and blackmail are the serious crimes.

Each one comes to the Qing Dynasty law and does not transcend words.

Logically speaking, since it is a punishment for not doing errands well, then if you do errands well, you should be rewarded. It is just that Cao Yong is not a fool, so he will not be thankless about how to encourage and praise officials. You can think that only Yongzheng can do those things.

Yongzheng hated officials' greed for ingenuity the most. When he saw this memorial, he immediately understood Cao Yong's profound meaning.

This is a premiere.

If this relief article is implemented according to this relief article, even if officials cannot be greedy for relief money and food, they will no longer think like before, and will be involved in one piece as soon as they are involved.

An innocent person is wronged and a unclear person is shirked. If you are not innocent, you will be a shocking case.

Yongzheng's eyes lit up and he looked up and told Chen Fu: "Go and invite Prince Yi."

Yongzheng was worried about the health of the Thirteenth Prince and did not want him to suffer the pain of running away. He left a duty room for the Thirteenth Prince in the side hall of Qinzheng Hall. When the Thirteenth Prince was late, he stayed in the garden to settle it.

Since tomorrow is a grand court meeting, Yongzheng had just discussed the government affairs with the Thirteenth Prince until late at night, and the Thirteenth Prince was allowed to go out. The Thirteenth Prince was placed in the side hall.

Now that Yongzheng was so energetic that he was attracted by this memorial, he couldn't help but tell him that Thirteen and his brother came to discuss.

After a moment of absence, the Thirteenth Prince came in with Chen Fu.

Yongzheng glanced at the Thirteenth Prince and ordered Chen Fu: "Go and get a velvet blanket."

Chen Fu responded. The Thirteenth Prince looked at the clock. It was almost midnight and said, "There is a great court tomorrow. It would be better for the emperor to place it earlier..." Yongzheng pointed to the side of the kang, and watched the Thirteenth Prince sit down, and said, "Thirteenth Brother is not there either! I am going to sleep. I saw a good thing and am energetic again." As he said that, he picked up the note from the kang and handed it to the Thirteenth Prince.

In the sixia, the two men lost the restraint of the king and ministers and had a little more brotherly freedom.

It was not that the Thirteenth Prince was favored by him, but that he knew how to get along with him in this way, and he was most concerned about the emperor.

"What a thick fold is two inches tall," said the Thirteenth Prince, who took the fold and said with a smile.

Yongzheng smiled without saying a word, raised his eyebrows and signaled him to open it and look.

The Thirteenth Prince opened it, put away his smile, and showed a bit of solemnity.

In theory, the Thirteenth Prince is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. He first passed these notes from the Ministry of Revenue, and then handed them to the emperor according to the traditional and simple rules: it was just that the emperor was used to doing everything himself. In addition, the Thirteenth Prince was not as good as before in the past two years. The emperor read the notes below first, and needed direct instructions from the Holy Prison, and assigned the notes that did not require one to decide to the Thirteenth Prince.

Therefore, Yongzheng read Cao yong's memorial first, and the Thirteenth Prince, the chief of the head, saw it.

At this moment, Chen Fu had already tiptoed in, holding a thin blanket of dark blue velvet in his hand.

"Build the prince on the tui," Yongzheng whispered.

"Cover" Chen Fu replied in a low voice, and covered the blanket on the Thirteenth Prince Tui.

The Thirteenth Prince was watching it, unaware of it.

Yongzheng smiled, picked up another unapproved note and read it.

For a moment, the room was silent, and only after the occasional sound of turning the folds passed for a quarter of an hour, the Thirteenth Prince raised his head, rubbed his eyes hard, and then continued to look.

Yongzheng smiled and shook his head, without interrupting him, but only ordered Chen Fu to light two more candlesticks.

The imperial candlestick in the palace, one candlestick can light nine candles, all of which are one and a half feet tall white wax.

Two candlesticks, one plus, the room was immediately brighter...

Two quarters of an hour later, the Thirteenth Prince raised his head again, but sighed heavily.

Yongzheng put down the imperial pen in his hand and said, "Do you regret it?"

The Thirteenth Prince said in surprise: "The Emperor also remembers the past?"

Yongzheng said: "It seems that there is nothing wrong with the word "cautious" at critical moments. That year, I and the Thirteenth brother went to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief with the orders of Emperor Ama. Unexpectedly, they were in a mess. At that time, they thought that there was a prince there, who dared to fool them. As a result, those widows colluded with each other and how much did they greed? They only suffered the innocent people,..." The Thirteenth Prince sighed and said: "It's hard for Cao Yong to think of these. If it were others, it would be Xiao Gui Cao Sui, only him, he was an old man from the Ministry of Revenue. He knew that the money and grain accumulation of the Ministry of Revenue was not easy, and he had been a local official. He knew that the people were not easy, so he thought of these." Cao Yong seemed to be "cautious" to refine the responsibility for disaster relief: but this "cautious" was also a bit cautious, which seemed a little more passionate.

Yongzheng and the Thirteenth Prince looked at each other, and both of them understood that Cao yong's memorial was a good thing for the country and the people, but for Cao yong himself, it was "thankful" that he wanted to offend a large number of people.

Yongzheng was very satisfied and nodded, "I finally lost my stinginess and looked like a famous minister." He had already praised what he should have. Seeing that Yongzheng was interested, the Thirteenth Prince thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, this memorable memorization is detailed, but it is mostly for preventing punishment. Should I also urge the rewards to show the emperor's kindness?"

Yongzheng nodded with a smile and said, "It should be like this. I want all the officials in the world to know that those who dare to be greedy will never give up: I will not treat good officials who are truly honest and honest in their decisions for the people..."

The next day, the grand court meeting.

Although Cao's mansion is close to the Forbidden City, Cao Yong still got up in the middle of the night because the Holy Lord stationed in the Old Summer Palace.

When he was about to arrive at Xizhimen, he happened to meet Zuozhu, so Cao Yong asked him to get on the carriage.

Although Zuo Zhu did the eight-legged articles in a mediocre way and failed the exam, he was diligent in his early years and read the Four Books and Five Classics with a solid reading. When he was taking the six-part script style, he was the same as Zuo Cheng, and he was the first-class class. He taught the seventh-class top-notch and had to attend the grand court meeting.

"There are so many things happening in the family and I have never bothered to ask. You have moved there for a while, how are you living there?" Cao Yong asked.

Zuo Zhu said, "Everything is good, both the housekeepers and the affairs of the inside and outside are all chosen by the second brother earlier. The adoptive father doesn't have to worry about his son. The son has grown up now..."

Cao yong then asked, "Where is there, is it still peaceful?" Zuo Zhuo said twice, "Hehe": "It was said that people were a little bit used to their ears and my son made me make a small kitchen. The servants and buyers in the grandmother's yard also made a single move, not to mix with the others,..."

In this way, Old Mrs. Ning is not good at making trouble anymore and has no chance to get out for housework.

Cao yong nodded: "The world has so much filial piety. You should do what you should do and take advantage of the great righteousness. If others want to talk, they have to consider the age of age and the strangeness of the changing sons. You younger generations know what you know. I still said the same thing. I have never let your brothers suffer grievances since I was a child, and you are not allowed to suffer grievances..." "Yes, adoptive father" Zuo Zhu responded, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Enjoyant father, the second uncle is a military officer, and hesitated and asked: "Enjoyant father, the second uncle is a military officer, and hesitated to be dismissed from the officialdom: did the second brother also let him leave Jiangnan......" Cao yong's earlier thoughts were also to hope that Zuo Cheng would be qualified for the six ministries to make up for the shortcomings of not being an imperial examination.

But because of the current drafting of disaster relief article, Cao Yong's idea changed.

Zuo Cheng is now following Yin Jishan in Hunan, Huguang and Liangjiang are both hard-hit areas this year. If Zuo Cheng can excel in disaster relief, his achievements will be directly at the imperial front. If that is the case, coupled with the previous credit for investigating local government warehouses, Zuo Cheng's Tengda will not only stay at Zuo Zhenqian, but also the gap between the two brothers will become bigger and bigger...

I burst into tears, I went out during the day, and it was raining.
