Chapter 278 The Fake Eunuch Being Torn Apart by a Chariot 09
The best strategy Lan Jingrun suggested was to establish a refugee camp in the suburbs of Beijing.
Due to the flood in the south, many refugees have recently poured into the capital. They have no place to live, are hungry and have no money, so they have committed many thefts and robberies, which has had a great impact on the stability of the city.
At the morning court session, the court officials were arguing about this matter. Some said that porridge should be distributed in the city; some said that they should be driven out of the city; and some said that they should be given some work to earn money to survive by themselves...
There were many suggestions, but Lan Jingrun was not satisfied with any of them.
The floods in the south continued, and there was an endless stream of refugees. The capital was so small that it was impossible to accommodate them all. Even if it could accommodate them, the pressure on public security and management would be great.
Of course, we can't drive them away by force.
People who are extremely hungry are most likely to cause chaos.
Lan Jingrun is not afraid of unrest, but if he does not handle these things well in his current position, he will bear some consequences.
Besides, he is a tyrant, not a coward.
Lan Jingyue’s suggestion was indeed good, but if he was the one who did it, it would be a big problem.
If he really built a refugee camp, his support would probably be much higher. After all, this is a great thing to win the hearts of the people.
But Lan Jingrun still agreed.
He said with difficulty, "Of course, I can, but the flood in the south has caused me to allocate 200,000 taels of silver just now... The national treasury is really not well-off now, so I'm afraid I can't allocate too much silver to you, alas."
Lan Jingyue clenched his fists.
The treasury is not rich?!
When did Qin Wuxue come back, he didn't bring him gold, silver and treasures?! He didn't even have to support the soldiers Qin Wuxue brought with him!
So what if we allocate two hundred thousand taels? Who knows how many more two hundred thousand taels there are in the national treasury!
How dare he cry poor?!
Although Lan Jingyue was dissatisfied, he believed that this was a godsend opportunity to plan something big, and he had to seize it.
So he clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty only needs to allocate 5 taels to me, and I will find a way to pay the rest. It is also a good thing to settle the displaced refugees, and I am willing to do my best."
Su Yi was listening at the side and couldn't help but sigh.
You are worthy of being called a lucky guy, you really know how to speak.
Lan Jingrun sighed and said, "But I can only give you 5000 taels."
Su Yi hissed secretly.
How stingy! Giving so little!
Lan Jingyue also raised her head suddenly and looked at him in disbelief.
5000 taels?!
Are you trying to get rid of the beggars?!
Take his Rongwang Mansion for example, the monthly expenses are several thousand taels. Building a refugee camp requires people, food, and soil and rocks... Which one doesn't cost money? !
Lan Jingyue frowned and said, "5000 taels is really not enough."
Su nodded aside.
Far from enough.
Lan Jingrun glanced at her, his face darkened, and he said to Lan Jingyue: "I can give you another 1000 taels at most. If you still have difficulties, you can put the refugee camp issue on hold until the treasury is more abundant."
Lan Jingyue: "How can this be delayed? Those refugees can't wait."
Lan Jingrun said impatiently: "Then how do you say we can solve this problem? I don't have any money."
Lan Jingyue was silent for a long time, took a deep breath, and finally agreed: "Okay, then 6000 taels, and I will find a way to raise the rest."
Lan Jingrun smiled, "Well, if the job is done, I will reward you handsomely."
Lan Jingyue: ...
How can you ask for a reward for someone who only knows how to complain about being poor?
He bowed and left.
Before leaving, he glanced at Su Yi.
Su Yi understood what Lan Jingrun meant, and said to him, "Your Majesty, I will go and see the prince off."
Then he stood up and walked out.
Lan Jingrun stared at her back and threw away the chopsticks in his hand: "I don't want to eat anymore!"
Su Yi bowed his head and followed behind Lan Jingyue.
It was not until she left the Wansui Palace and reached a corner with few people that she straightened her body.
Smiling, he said, "Did the prince bring the money?"
It was quite surprising that he didn't send assassins but came to the palace to find her in person.
Lan Jingyue looked at her steadily and took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve.
Su Yi's eyes lit up and he rubbed his hands excitedly.
It’s been done.
But Lan Jingyue didn't give her the money immediately. Instead, she asked, "I heard that you are looking for your sister."
Su Yi paused and said nothing.
"I have found her for you. Do you want to see her?"
Oh, no wonder there was no killer, he wanted to threaten her.
Su Yi asked back: "Where is she?"
"The palace."
"Oh, then I'll be gone."
Lan Jingyue: ...
"Didn't you save up some money to give to her? I can give her the 1000 taels on your behalf, as long as you..."
Su Yi interrupted him: "It doesn't matter about my sister, but the 1000 taels are mine, you have to give it to me!"
Lan Jingyue:!
This is the first time I have seen such a greedy killer. For money, he even gave up his relatives, even though he doesn't have any sisters in the palace.
Lan Jingyue pinched her eyebrows with a headache.
However, in the blink of an eye, the banknote in his hand was snatched away.
The man dressed as a eunuch in front of him licked his fingers in a very ungraceful manner, and then started counting the silver bills with his movements, which were both mercenary and skilled.
Lan Jingyue: (⊙?⊙)
...Is this really his own killer?!
"Don't doubt it, it's your Tatsunobu assassin, he's genuine... well, 100,000 taels, no more, no less. Now that the money is in place, I should get down to work."
Su Yi put away the banknotes, put away his laughing expression, and said coldly: "What do you and I want to do?"
Entered professional state in one second.
Lan Jingyue was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to come to her senses.
He stared at her and whispered, "This prince wants Lan Jingrun to leave the palace."
Su Yi did not hesitate: "Yes."
Lan Jingyue: "...Are you so sure you can do it?"
Su Yi didn't say anything.
But the indifference and calmness in his eyes calmed Lan Jingyue's heart.
He even had an inexplicable feeling that this person would do a good job for him and would not betray him...
Having said everything that needed to be said, Su Yi was about to go back, but was stopped again.
Lan Jingyue suddenly warned her: "Don't be disrespectful to the imperial concubine in the palace. Otherwise, I will not forgive you!"
After saying that, he threw a small bottle to Su Yi and strode away.
555: "It's the antidote to the black corpse poison."
Su Yi nodded, put away the medicine bottle, and walked back slowly: "I suspect Luo Chenyu has reported me, otherwise the favorability value would not be -80."
555 was a little angry: "Obviously, yes, this bad woman."
"Has the favorability value increased now?"
"You just stole 0 taels of luck, how come... Shit! It really went up, 555, oh my god!" was amazed, "Why?"
"Because he saw my value..."
"You've just returned after such a long time. Did you send Prince Rong to the West to worship Buddha?"
Su Yi: ...
(?_?)
I really admire Lan Jingrun's words.
I couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Your Majesty, sometimes you say things so harshly that I don't even want to pay attention to you."
Lan Jingrun paused in drinking his tea, and his pretended leisurely expression froze.
Incredibly, he said, "You, say it again!"
