Chapter 168 Something happened again
Four men were also having a heated discussion in the study, expressing their own opinions, all for the sake of a decree from the court.
"Shameless! It's clearly the court's responsibility to provide disaster relief, but now they're asking us to go over and reward us? Who cares..." Nanchen, a usually calm and composed strong man, was cursing the court's inaction and shamelessness with a dark face.
"What the second brother said is true. They also asked us to help Qin Di. How could they have the nerve to do that? Qin Di has ambitions towards us. They still have evidence and haven't cleaned it up yet. Have they forgotten? The gentle and elegant Fifth Young Master Hua Heng was so angry that his face showed anger.
"Brother, what do you say we should do? We'll listen to you!" Ye Xiao looked at the eldest brother Ling Wuxin. He had been silent ever since he received the imperial decree document sent by the palace steward!
"In fact, the freezing disaster in Longxi is much more serious than that in Qin. A large number of horses, cattle and sheep have frozen to death. I wonder why they didn't arrange for us to support Longxi, but asked us to support Qin. What's their intention?" Ling Wuxin said in a deep voice without any change of expression.
"Brother, in my opinion, Longxi has border troops guarding the northwest. This is what he is really afraid of others interfering." Ye Xiao pointed out the crux of the problem.
"It has been half a month since we last received reports from various places. Now we have received an imperial decree, which shows that the problem is really serious. We might as well take advantage of the situation and publicize the problem of the cold wave in the north while promoting the literacy competition. Scholars still need it." Ling Wuxin said, tapping his fingers lightly on the table.
"Propaganda is easy, but what about aid? And rewards?..." Nanchen pointed out the problem that made him feel uneasy.
"The aid should be given. I have already made arrangements in Longxi ten days ago. We will help those who need it. I believe they already know how to deal with it. As for Qin, now that it has been publicized, let's do it in a big way. We have to let some people contribute to raising funds and grain. The Beiying will take over after the grain money is raised. We will decide how many to escort out separately! Give priority to those pro-Qin elements to raise funds. This will be handed over to the third brother! As for the reward, do you really think he will send women here for nothing? Humph! I don't believe it at all. This is just to make people try their best to give him the means to do things. Therefore, our aid will be given to the local people who need it most in Qin, and we will distribute it all the way as soon as we enter Qin and see that the people are living a bleak life. As for the government, just send them a document of aid data. It is impossible to get supplies!..." Ling Wuxin explained the problems one by one, and asked Nanchen about the progress of the construction of the new camp of Beiying. He also asked about the delivery of military uniforms, bedding and backpacks by Dada Industrial Park.
"Brother, your plan is more comprehensive!" The brothers found that the problems that originally bothered them were transferred to people who were willing to accept them, and they all relaxed at once. The boss is indeed the boss, and he can turn the situation around no matter how bad it is.
"Everyone, get busy. The New Year is not far away. We should try to send out the donation materials in five days, so that they can be delivered to the needy people before the New Year!" Ling Wuxin waved at a few people and told them to get busy.
"Report, Master!..." An Yi happened to arrive outside the study room at this moment, waiting to be summoned by his master.
"Come in and tell me what's the matter." Ling Wuxin looked natural. He had originally planned to write a few more letters, but was interrupted by An Yi.
"The princess asked me to deliver this book and have it printed in large quantities as needed. Uh... Master, there is a question I don't know whether I should ask." An Yi thought of the unhappy faces of the princess and her sisters, and he felt that he had to leave it to the master to resolve. He was a person who only followed orders, so he shouldn't bear these responsibilities.
"Speak!" Ling Wuxin looked at the secret guard in surprise. He had always been a man of his word, but now he was hesitating and unwilling to finish his words.
"I stopped the princess and her sisters from coming here, but I saw that they looked unhappy and seemed angry..." An hesitated for a while, but still felt that it would be better to speak out! The pressure was released at once.
"Oh..." An Yi felt the intimidation brought by the gazes of several people at the same time, as if to say that he was very brave for daring to make his own woman angry. They themselves had never dared to make their wives angry.
"Master..." An Yi was afraid, but he couldn't beat four people, so he had to ask for help from his master in a wronged manner.
"I understand. You go back first. Don't restrict them. Try to let them do whatever they want!" Ling Wuxin said and waved his hand to send him away. The most important thing for him was to protect his wife.
"..." The brothers looked as if it was a great bargain for him to let him go.
"The text Mengqiu, haha, it is indeed the most suitable. Then let's print all the books in the Mengqiu series... just print 10,000 copies. These are most suitable for educating the people." Ling Wuxin's mood has improved visibly since he received the gift of books from his wife, and now he is even more happy out loud!
"This will make the literacy contest much simpler. The books can be distributed starting tomorrow, right? Should they be distributed to the teachers who have registered for literacy?" Hua Heng was also happy to have some free time. It was like completing a big task, which was really great.
"Well, how about letting Laowu take charge of this matter?" Ling Wuxin asked Hua Heng with a smile.
Hua Heng, who just thought he could be free from trouble, secretly sighed that he was careless. Looking at the boss's attitude, he was afraid that he would have to watch it from beginning to end, which would probably take about half a year. Hua Heng's expression gradually cracked. The boss was too cruel. He used one person for multiple purposes and really used them to the extreme!
"Okay! I'll try my best!" Hua Heng replied.
"Third brother, is it difficult for you? It will take a lot of effort to peel off a layer of skin from those greedy guys..." Ling Wuxin felt that he could not favor one over the other, so he should also care about the third brother.
"Don't worry, big brother. I may not be able to play tricks on you, but I can definitely beat those crazy people. It doesn't matter if they are praised highly. Everyone knows it, so why are you afraid that they won't pay..." Ye Xiao raised the corners of his lips and gave an evil smile.
"Hahaha... I know you have the ability, so I'll praise you. Just promote a slogan to ordinary people: When the cold wave hits, Shu is full of love. When one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid! Everyone should make a quick decision! Don't delay the New Year!" Ling Wuxin's mood was much better now, and the depression brought by the government order was completely dissipated.
