Chapter 542 Daddy is the richest
man Xiao Nuobao saw that his father was anxious and became worried, so he stopped arguing and started making small pendants obediently.
Mu Yihan held his daughter and sat back at the table, and Ali hurried to continue to explain.
"It happened half a month ago. Xiucheng was hit by a heavy snowfall and all the houses were destroyed."
"Right now, the streets are full of homeless people, some of whom are even naked, and their hands and feet are frozen to the point of rotting or even dying. There are countless of them." Ali clenched his fists reluctantly.
The more he spoke, the redder his eyes became, and he couldn't help but clench his teeth. "If it was a cruel natural disaster, it would be fine, but the government didn't do anything. This is a man-made disaster! Many people had saved their lives, but because they had nowhere to go, they were frozen to death on the roadside. The officials simply dragged them away and buried them, like dead cats and dogs!"
"The Xiucheng government even closed the city gates seven days ago and tried to cover up the news."
"Thanks to our spies in various places, the news was passed back. Otherwise, they would have wanted to deceive the court!"
Mu Yihan was heartbroken when he heard this.
He was almost furious, and his knuckles were blue and white. "These corpse-eating guys don't care about human lives at all. They are so daring that they think the emperor is far away!"
Little Nuobao interrupted at this time, humming in a baby voice, "Yes, Daddy, I heard Grandpa Wu also talk about the snow disaster. Those guys who eat corpses are really good at deceiving their superiors and subordinates."
Fortunately, Daddy's spy system is spread all over the place.
This way, they can pass the news back to the court without being deceived.
Mu Yihan didn't delay and summoned the spy in, and asked about the disaster again.
It is now winter, and many disaster victims have lost their houses. If this continues for a long time, countless people will surely freeze to death.
The most urgent task at the moment is to protect them from the cold and save the dead and injured.
Mu Yihan thought for a moment and gave the order decisively.
"For matters of state, the most important thing is the lives of the people!"
"Order the Minister of Revenue to come and immediately allocate tens of thousands of taels of silver to send cotton-padded clothes and quilts to the people of Xiucheng, and then mobilize local forces to rebuild houses for the people!"
In addition, there must be a temporary shelter.
Mu Yihan took out the list of local officials and resisted the urge to kill them. He first requisitioned the private homes of all officials to provide shelter for the victims.
After receiving the order, the Ministry of Revenue almost worked non-stop and immediately opened the treasury to distribute silver and food.
Mu Yihan was worried that the disaster relief would be deducted and the people would suffer, so he sent Ali and Xiao Lanyi to Xiucheng to make arrangements in person.
However, 12,000 taels of silver is still a drop in the bucket for a serious disaster.
After Ali and the others left, Mu Yihan glanced at the Minister of Revenue and asked in a low voice.
"Except for the expenses of various departments next year, how much can be saved and can it be settled?"
The Minister of Revenue had expected this, and he sighed and took off his official hat immediately. "Replying to
the Imperial Master, in the past few years, the Murong royal family has been engaged in large-scale construction, extravagance and debauchery, and the losses are too great."
"After you took office, although you have not been extravagant, you have reduced taxes and levies in order to reduce the burden on the people, and the treasury is not full. This is the treasury account that I have taken out. Please take a look at it one by one. I really dare not lie."
Mu Yihan took it and looked at it. He was silent. This silver is really hard to save.
Xiao Nuobao saw that the Minister of Revenue was only forty years old, but his temples were already gray. Only then did she realize that the Ministry of Revenue was not poor, but really had difficulties.
Fortunately, her little Jiuchongtian had earned a lot of money for her father!
Xiao Nuobao took a deep breath, jumped off Mu Yihan's legs, and immediately rushed back to the mansion to find her own small purse!
When she returned to the palace, Xiao Nuobao stretched out her fat paw, which was exactly 30,000 taels of silver.
It was handed to Mu Yihan's big hand...
"Daddy, here!" Little Nuobao patted his chest and comforted him in a baby voice, "Nuobao has saved a lot of money, all for Daddy. Daddy is not afraid of having no money, I will support you if you have no money!"
Mu Yihan just pulled out a box, and he never thought that he would live a retirement life in advance...
He lowered his head and touched the banknotes, and his eyes were filled with sorrow.
"Aren't these your little savings? How can you be willing to take them all out, you little money-grubber?"
Although he knew that he must be much more important than money in the heart of this little money-grubber.
But which father or mother in the world would not be moved to pee when seeing his daughter emptying her money jar for him?
Little Nuobao stood on tiptoe and sniffled, just wanting to comfort his father and tell him not to cry.
But at this moment, Mu Yihan opened the box at his feet, and saw a golden aura inside, full of dazzling gold bricks!
"Ah?!" Xiao Nuobao was stunned, her eyes almost fell into the golden bricks, "Where did this come from, so big and bright..."
Mu Yihan was very relieved, and touched her head, "By the way, there is something you don't know yet."
"Your grandparents were once the richest people in Beijing. They left a private treasury for Daddy. Daddy didn't want to touch it unless it was absolutely necessary."
"But for disaster relief, Daddy just opened it. In addition to this box of golden bricks, there are two large boxes inside. If you count them, at least four or five hundred thousand taels of silver can be exchanged." Mu Yihan said lightly.
Xiao Nuobao's pupils trembled instantly.
What?
There are three boxes of golden bricks alone? ?
Wait, what about her promise to make a lot of money for Daddy? It turns out that the richest man is Daddy himself!
"Ah! Daddy is dishonest, why didn't you tell me earlier, Wuwu made me so nervous!" The little fat girl wailed, and her little body fell down with a thud, paralyzed on the golden brick and was about to roll over.
Mu Yihan was amused.
But his heart was still warm.
He didn't expect that the young lady was so dedicated to running Little Nine Heavens, but the reason behind it was for him and the entire national treasury.
Such a warm little cotton-padded jacket, he must spoil it for the rest of his life, it is the greatest blessing God has given him!
The little nuobao hugged the big golden brick, drooling wildly, and crying and acting coquettishly.
After a while, Mu Yihan picked up the little fat pig, picked up two golden bricks, stuffed them into her hands, and looked at the Minister of Revenue again.
"The remaining things in this box should be put into the national treasury. We can exchange them for 10,000 taels and send them to Xiucheng."
But obviously, disaster relief is not just about allocating some money.
When Xiao Lanyi and Ali arrived in Xiucheng, they saw that the streets were in a state of decay and deathly silence, with only low howling sounds floating in the air.
Xiucheng does not rely on the land for a living. Most people make a living from the local jade.
Now, people have lost their jobs and income. Even if they are lucky enough to keep their houses, they can only wait to starve at home...
