Chapter 591: Merit
Pingbeihou Mansion specially set up several courtyards, and the people living in them are famous doctors invited from all over the world. Not all doctors, but also monks and priests, the kind commonly known as magic sticks.
When external forces were unstoppable, Wen Jiuxiao had no choice but to pin his hopes on gods and Buddhas.
These famous doctors who came or invited back, no matter whether they can cure Yu Zhi or not, the Pingbei Hou Mansion will treat each other with courtesy, if they want to go back, they will give them money, and if they don’t want to leave, they will stay in the mansion. OK
Most of the doctors chose to stay, not out of greed for wealth, but because there are so many colleagues, they can discuss medical skills together. Those who can be invited or come to see Yu Zhi by themselves have some real skills. Such people often care more about their own medical skills.
The great Gu master invited from Southern Xinjiang has arrived, and the imperial physician pointed out that Yu Zhi was not infected by Gu. Wen Jiuxiao didn't give up, and sent people all the way to Southern Xinjiang to invite the great Gu master from Miao's village.
Wen Jiuxiao was doomed to be disappointed, the great Gu Master shook his head when he saw Yu Zhi's face, "It's not Gu poison." fragrance.
On the contrary, the priest of his clan who came with him stared at Yu Zhi for a long time. The priests in the Miao family's village are also great witches in their clan, and they are the ones who can communicate with the heavens and the earth and are closest to the gods.
He looked at Yu Zhi for a long time, and then said something to Wen Jiuxiao, which translated roughly meant to let Wen Jiuxiao do more good deeds and accumulate merit.
Wen Jiuxiao was thoughtful, and on the morning of the third day, he asked for an order to go to Jiangnan Road for disaster relief.
Jiangnan has a lot of rain this summer, and it has been rainy for half a month since the beginning of summer. The Yanjiang River finally broke its embankment, and the flood affected the entire Jiangnan Road.
Relief for disasters is inseparable from money and food, and this is what the court lacks the most.
Years ago, even though Cheng’en Gong’s Mansion and Zhongqinbo’s Mansion were copied, another gold mine was added. It seems that the treasury has received a lot, but more has been allocated.
Jiangnan is rich and prosperous, and 40% of the national treasury’s taxes come from Jiangnan. This time Jiangnan suffered a flood that had not happened in a century, and the people were displaced. Naturally, the court couldn't ignore it. For the disaster relief, the courtiers had been arguing for several days.
From the candidates for disaster relief to the supplies for disaster relief, there was arguing and arguing, but there was no result.
Because of Yu Zhi's illness, Wen Jiuxiao didn't have the heart to pay attention to the court. His Royal Highness asked how much food the treasury could squeeze out, and he answered truthfully. Anyway, the whole capital knew that he was going crazy because of his wife's illness, and no one dared to He was suggested to be the minister of disaster relief.
Indeed no one dares! To be honest, those ministers who are not used to Wen Jiuxiao don't want to trip him up, but dare not! They have really understood Xiao Wen Shangshu's insanity of retribution, that kind of reckless madness.
In court, who doesn't have many political enemies? No matter how much you hate each other in your heart, you will have scruples in doing things, and you can even greet each other with a smile when you meet. Xiaowen Shangshu is not, he doesn't care, he will never stop dying, who dares to provoke such a lunatic easily?
In order to pray for his seriously ill wife, the man who can donate half of his family property, the man who can kowtow to the temple from the foot of the mountain... the man who is not afraid of people's words, is not afraid of outsiders' eyes, and is so cruel to himself, Who dares to offend him?
They are also afraid of being retaliated by Xiaowen Shangshu! They don't want to be watched by a wolf.
If they send Mr. Xiaowen to the south for disaster relief, and his wife looks like she will die at any time, if... When he comes back, there is a sentence that is very suitable for the occasion: Tianjie has trampled on the bones of the public.
Wearing that Jiuxiao took the initiative to invite Ying to go to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief, everyone was shocked. His Royal Highness asked with even more concern: "Mrs. Wen's condition..."
Wen Jiuxiao was silent, and only said one sentence, "I also have selfish intentions in going to the south of the Yangtze River. I want to accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and pray for my wife."
The prince and all the ministers looked numb... They didn't know that there is a word called "love brain" in modern times. If they knew it, they must make a sign with these three words written on it, and put it firmly on Wen Jiuxiao's head.
No matter what Xiaowen Shangshu was for, he took the initiative to stand up, and even His Royal Highness was relieved.
Sure enough, he made several suggestions on the spot, one of which was to borrow money from merchants for food.
The treasury has insufficient money and food, but the merchants have it. If you are willing to borrow, the imperial court will issue an IOU, which can be used to offset business taxes. The three lenders with the most loans will not only become imperial merchants, but also get a signboard inscribed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself.
All the ministers... their faces became even more numb. As expected of the Minister of the Household Department, he easily solved the problem that they had been arguing for several days.
Of course, some people questioned, would any businessman be willing to borrow?
They were slapped in the face in just one day.
As soon as this decree was announced, businessmen immediately came to sign up. Not only were they willing to borrow food, but they were also willing to donate money and medicinal materials. There was only one request, and that was a signboard inscribed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself!
More than one businessman is like this, the first four people are all like this.
The courtiers were shocked, this, this is real money, are they not afraid of losing money one by one?
