Chapter 257: My second master is kind-hearted

Two hundred catties of millet!

With these two hundred catties of millet, the impact of this drought will be

minimized.

Although life is still not too rich, it is impossible to starve people to

death.

"What a big handwriting!"

With the financial resources of Anshun County, it is impossible to have such a

large handwriting. Then, behind this matter, there must be someone else.

When Mr. Xu came back from the county school in the afternoon, he also brought

a message from Zuoqiu to him.

These two hundred catties of millet were donated to the imperial court by

Master Zhao Er from the Zhao family in the capital. Not only Anshun County,

but also all drought-stricken areas in Xiangyi Prefecture received such a

donation.

"Crazy!"

Knowing that behind this incident was his little uncle, who was like a sieve,

Father Xu's first reaction was that his little uncle had gone mad.

Although the Zhao family is rich, it is known as the richest country.

But for such a large-scale disaster relief, the amount of money donated by

this donation, anyway, Father Xu can't count it.

"It's totally unreasonable!"

Old man Xu couldn't figure it out, and didn't understand what his uncle was

doing.

Based on Mr. Xu's understanding of the Zhao family, they did everything, every

move, every word and deed, all have a purpose. With every effort they make,

they are eager for some kind of return.

This time, it will certainly be no exception.

"Master, what do you want to do so much? No matter what he plots, we can't

stop it!"

Mrs. Xu's remarks really hit the nail on the head.

Father Xu was a little embarrassed, because at the moment when his wife's key

point was broken, he suddenly realized that he was just eating carrots and

worrying about it.

...

At this time, the capital.

In the newly refurbished Qiantian Temple, Emperor Yongping is summoning Zhao

Bingjun, the head of the Zhao family in the capital city, and the elder

brother of Zhao Bingxi.

The Zhao family paid for such a large amount of rice and donated them to the

imperial court for the relief of the drought in Xiangyi Prefecture.

As the emperor, Emperor Yongping was also quite daunting.

He naturally knew the wealth of the Zhao family.

Once, Emperor Yongping also thought about the idea of attacking the Zhao

family.

But in the end he lost his thoughts.

This is because although this method can fill the national treasury for a

while, it is very detrimental to the rule of the court. And most importantly,

this method can easily solve the imperial court’s financial constraints.

Emperor Yongping feared that he would lose the courage to face difficulties

and would take shortcuts.

After all, in addition to the Zhao family, who received the wealth of the Zhao

family, another family with a wealth of enemies will emerge in a few years.

If the emperor only wants to fill the treasury in this way, then this dynasty

will not be far from destruction.

In the end, Emperor Yongping curbed his greed, and with his own efforts, he

kept the court and the world in an orderly manner, and the treasury's deposit

of silver increased year by year.

Even if the Zhao family did not take action during the severe drought in

Xiangyi Mansion, the court could handle it without causing the tragic sight of

twenty years ago.

But now, the Zhao family has put out such a large sum of money, and even

directly used the money to buy enough rice, which can really be regarded as

anxious.

To this end, Emperor Yongping specially asked the servant general Zhao Bingjun

to invite Zhao Bingjun into the palace.

Compared with Zhao Bingzhen's eyes like a sieve, Zhao Bingjun is a bit

upright.

"So, you don't know about this matter?"

Emperor Yongping was taken aback.

Zhao Bingjun, who was the head of the Zhao family, knew nothing about such a

large sum of money transfer, and it was really hard for Emperor Yongping to

believe it.

"Returning to the Holy Spirit, Cao Min really didn't know it."

"The business in Caomin's house has been in charge of the younger brother many

years ago!"

"Although Caomin is the head of the family, he is no longer involved in the

management of these businesses. He is just responsible for the sacrifices

within the clan and the teaching of future generations, and the fields of my

Zhao clan are also taken care of by the Caomin!"

"You are separated?"

Emperor Yongping was stunned. According to Zhao Bingjun's words, the situation

of the Zhao family was clearly divided.

"Going back to the Holy Spirit, Cao Min has not separated from her brother."

"It's just that Caomin and Shedi each perform their duties."

Zhao Bingjun answered Yongping's questions calmly.

Emperor Yongping finally had to accept the fact that Zhao Bingjun really

didn't know anything about this matter. No, it's not that I don't know

anything, at least Emperor Yongping knew that the person who handled this

thing specifically was named Zhao Rui.

As a result, Zhao Bingjun was sent out of the palace, and Zhao Rui was

summoned into the palace.

"Cao Min kowtow to my emperor sage!"

Zhao Rui entered the Temple of Heaven and kneeled after receiving his head.

A full-fledged image of a grassroots who has never seen anything in the world.

"Get up and talk!"

Emperor Yongping stared at Zhao Rui who had fallen on the ground for a long

time before speaking slowly.

Zhao Rui stood up immediately, looked at Emperor Yongping respectfully, spoke

with a loud voice, and said, "Caomin thank you, the Lord!"

The voice was a bit loud, and the emperor Yongping was a little depressed.

"I can hear you, and I don't need to be so loud."

"Yes!"

Zhao Rui quickly responded, looking sincere and fearful.

"I called you to ask you, what reward would Zhao Bingzhen want you to buy food

for the court?"

"Return to the Holy Spirit!"

Zhao Rui spoke again, still with a loud voice, but soon he realized that he

had made a mistake, and his voice fell.

"My second master had previously known that the only son of my eldest was

still alive, so he took the villain to find him."

"It's just that the second master of my family is too old and too excited. He

accidentally fell and hurt his muscles and bones. He is still recuperating in

Anshun County and can't move."

"Now that there is a severe drought in Anshun County, the second master of my

family asked the young man to check it out, knowing that the entire Xiangyi

Mansion was under drought."

"So the second master of my family asked the little one to come back to buy

food for the court."

"The little one asked why the second master of my family did this? The little

one also said that you will definitely consider this kind of thing."

"But the second master of my family said that for the rest of my life, I will

come and go naked and earn so much money. When I die, I can't take a penny

with me. Naturally, I should use the money I earn to do something meaningful."

"Look at it, my second master is kind-hearted, and I don't see others

starving!"

"Speaking of this, the roots are still in my eldest lady's body..."

"The saint may not know, my eldest lady actually passed away due to poverty

and illness, and the second master of my family has been unable to get through

this hurdle..."

"Okay, I get it!"

Emperor Yongping saw that Zhao Rui, a simple man, was going to talk a lot, and

quickly interrupted him.

He naturally knew a thing or two about Miss Zhao's.

Although the details inside, he is not very clear.

However, Emperor Yongping knew very well that Miss Zhao was the wife of

Dingbei Hou Xu Shuoyuan.
