Chapter 441 (1/2)

”Young master, your majesty has ordered to see his wife.”

Lin Shuping came to Liu Zhao and said quietly.

Liu Zhao eyebrow light Cu, ”know the reason?”

”It is said that his majesty is worried about the refugees outside the city, so he summoned his wife to inquire about the specific situation.”

Liu Zhao shook his head slowly. ”The situation of the refugees outside the city is the same as that of Hubu. I'm afraid it's not so easy for the emperor's grandfather to summon Xiao Jiu at this time. ”

Lin Shuping said quietly, ”young master, is your majesty watching the emperor and grandson?”

”No nonsense.”

Lin Shuping quickly pleaded guilty, and then secretly looked at the door, no one eavesdropping.

He added: ”if you don't think so, it doesn't mean that other people don't think so. Madame's ability is second to none among the numerous Royal and grandsons' wives. His majesty always attaches great importance to his wife. At this very moment, your majesty suddenly summoned his wife. Isn't it meaningful? ”

Liu Zhao stares at Lin Shuping, ”even if there is a deep meaning, you have to hide your guess without any trace.”

Childe's eyes are so frightening.

Lin Shuping shivered for a moment, ”old slave, remember what you taught me.”

Liu Zhao also said: ”go outside and watch. Don't let anyone in.”

”Yes, old slave.”

People come and go in the Yamen of the military department.

Liu Zhao sat in the ward as if he were an old monk. No one knew what he was thinking.

……

Gu Jiu came to Xingqing palace smoothly all the way. After being informed, he followed the internal servant to the palace to see the emperor.

He had known that the son of heaven had apoplexy and hemiplegia. When she saw it with her own eyes, she found that the situation of the emperor was more serious than she had imagined.

”Sun's daughter-in-law comes to see your majesty!”

”No gift. Get up and talk. ”

”Thank you.”

Gu Jiu stands up, head slightly low, to show respect.

The rest of his eyes are paying attention to the movement of the son of heaven.

If the emperor's right hand could not move, he would not be able to read the memorial, so he could only let someone write for him.

But listen to the voice, the emperor's speech is still clear. It's a lot better than the vagueness of the rumor.

It seems that the doctors in the hospital have taken out the real ability to regulate the body for the emperor.

”What's going on outside the south gate?”

The emperor asked gently.

Gu Jiu slightly bowed down, ”Your Majesty, everything is going according to the plan. At present, half of the refugees have moved into new houses. The remaining half of the refugees will move into their new houses by March and April at the latest after this winter. ”

”Oh! You surprised me. I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. You not only solved the problem of feeding the refugees, but also let them live in new houses. Great

”Thanks to your Majesty's good fortune, the refugees will have a chance to live in new houses.”

The emperor wanted to laugh, but he couldn't.

He ha ha two, since stroke, rare happy once.

”You are very capable.”

Gu Jiu a face of fear, ”Sun daughter-in-law is just a little bit better than ordinary people.”

The emperor waved, ”you get closer, let me have a good look at you.”

Gu Jiu has a strange feeling in his heart and subconsciously looks up at the emperor.

The emperor's eyes are kind.

She looked at Chen Dachang again.

Chen Dachang stands beside the bed like a piece of wood. When his majesty doesn't need him, he will consciously reduce his sense of existence.

Gu Jiu takes a deep breath and walks forward slowly.

”Get closer.”

Gu Jiu continues to move forward until he is two steps away from the Dragon bed.

This is a relatively safe distance.

The emperor raised his head and looked at her face, as if to find something.

Then, Gu Jiu heard a proposition.

”Have you ever thought about the project outside the south gate when the new emperor takes over the throne?”

Gu Jiu was shocked.

Even Chen Dachang, who was calm and restrained, changed his face slightly.

Gu Jiu's mouth is dry and his tongue is dry. ”Your Majesty's Hong Fu Qi Tian will surely live a long life.”

Besides, any answer is to die.

I'm working hard for Nanzi, because you can support the project. When I am no longer here, the new Emperor may not give you an opportunity to continue operating outside the south gate. ”

Gu Jiu is sweating hard. She can't figure out the meaning of the emperor's piercing the window paper.

Is it to test her, or to see her joke.

”Don't be afraid. I'm not going to scare you.” The emperor suddenly appeases Gu Jiu.

Gu Jiu feels strange at the moment.

This is not the son of heaven in her mind.

In the impression of the emperor, who will care about other people's life and death.

”Thank you, your majesty.” She showed her weakness appropriately.

The emperor took a breath and continued: ”outside the South Gate of the city, you have managed it very well. Tens of thousands of refugees can be properly resettled. This is a great achievement. No one can deny your credit. But just in case, I have to make some preparations in advance. ”Gu Jiu is nervous.

She glanced at Chen Dachang secretly.

Obviously, Chen Dachang didn't know in advance that the son of heaven would talk so deeply. He simply had no scruples.

”If you have any thoughts on the south gate, please do not hesitate to ask.”

Gu Jiu took a deep breath, ”outside the south gate, it's up to your majesty.”

”Oh! Don't you worry that after a hundred years, the new emperor will embarrass you and forbid you to continue to operate the project outside nanchengmen? ”

Gu Jiu said: ”in order to manage the Nancheng gate, sun's daughter-in-law raised hundreds of thousands of Liang and borrowed 3 million liang from Shaofu bank. If someone in the palace doesn't let his daughter-in-law continue to operate, she won't be able to borrow millions of yuan. ”

”It may not work if you threaten people with money.” The emperor seemed very happy. Maybe it's because Gu Jiu didn't play tricks and always told the truth.

Gu Jiu bowed down and said, ”in addition, it's the court's turn to worry about how to settle tens of thousands of refugees outside the city.”

The emperor nodded, ”refugees are the most boring thing for court officials. They hoped that even if the refugees died of starvation, they would die of starvation at home. They would not add chaos to the government and do not go out to make trouble.

However, no one is willing to wait for death. The common people can not live in their hometown, so they can only escape from the famine and become refugees. In the past, the refugees who had fled to the capital would have to rely on a meal of porridge every day.

When it was warm in spring, the government forced them to drive them away. Year after year, it's been like this. No one cares how many refugees died of disease and hunger during this period. It's you who changed that. ”

Gu Jiucheng panicked, ”Sun daughter-in-law needs a lot of labor to build a house. There are a lot of young laborers among those refugees, which is a pity to waste. ”

The emperor nodded approvingly, ”you're right. It's not only a waste to leave those young laborers unused, but also to see them go up the mountain as bandits. It's amazing that you can organize the young laborers among the refugees and keep them in their own positions. ”

”Sun's daughter-in-law is not as good as your majesty said. Sun's daughter-in-law just happened to meet her and did what she should do. ”

In front of the emperor, Gu Jiu should be modest.

The emperor laughed and said, ”just in case, I plan to set up a county outside the gate of Nancheng in advance. If you have any ideas, please tell me.”

Gu Jiu's heart beats faster and his palms sweat.

Coming, coming!

Finally, we will set up a county outside the south gate.

She took a deep breath and said calmly as much as possible: ”Your Majesty really wants to set up a county outside the south city gate. Sun's daughter-in-law has only one request.”

”Say it

”My daughter-in-law hopes that the person I recommend will be the first magistrate of this county. The South Gate project will continue, and sun's daughter-in-law doesn't want anyone to hold back. ”

The emperor laughed, ”you don't hide yourself at all.”

Gu Jiu bowed his head and said: ”in front of his majesty, sun's daughter-in-law dare not play coloratura.”

The emperor asked, ”who do you want to recommend as the first county magistrate?”

Gu Jiu took a deep breath, repressed his emotions and said calmly as far as possible: ”sun's daughter-in-law recommended Gu Yu as the first county magistrate.”

”Why recommend him?”

Gu Jiu said calmly: ”he has a great reputation. He has been following my father's side for many years. He is very familiar with people's livelihood and economy. He is also experienced in dealing with disputes among the people. With his knowledge and ability, he could not be a senior official of the imperial court, but he was definitely the best candidate for the county magistrate. No one is more suitable for this position than he is

”Oh! Where is he now? ”

”He is now working as an official in the Ministry of housing and a petty official of eight grades.”

The emperor laughed, ”eight grade petty officials, as a seven grade county magistrate, is not shocking. I will consider the person you recommend. ”

Gu Jiu could not hide the excitement, ”sun's daughter-in-law thanks your majesty for Gu Yu, the elder brother of the family.”
