Seeing Ruisheng's steady appearance today, Xu Xun sighed in his heart that the little guy was training in the palace for several months, and finally had a bright future. But when the person stepped down, he was forgetful and blurted out the young master's appearance, he suddenly felt helpless. However, when he heard what Ruisheng said clearly, he couldn't sit still. He stood up and asked, "How did Eunuch Xiao talk about this?"

"Since I officially entered the list of the Silijian, Eunuch Xiao asked me to organize the letters of the Silijian. Today I sorted out the things on the archives shelf, but I heard Eunuch Xiao and Eunuch Li talking outside. It was Eunuch Li who was not in line with me to pick up the words, and said that Mr. Shouning valued the young master very much, and intended to ask for something in front of the empress, betrothed to you, and said that Eunuch Xiao had a unique vision. Eunuch Xiao only played Tai Chi but did not respond. Later, Eunuch Li seemed to feel bored and left.

"Does Eunuch Xiao know that you are behind the bookshelf?"

"This..." Ruisheng didn't expect this. When Xu Xun mentioned it, he was stunned for a moment. He frowned and thought for a while, and then said hesitantly, "I don't know if Eunuch Xiao Xiao is there. He stood there for a while and said something about Shouning Hou was very calculating. He didn't say anything else, and then left. I was afraid of showing flaws, so I deliberately hid for a while before coming out."

"Ho... Eunuch Xiao is so smart, how could he forget where you were? People must have known it a long time ago." Seeing Ruisheng's surprise, he drooped his head, Xu Xun couldn't help laughing in silence, pointing to the chair next to him to signal Ruisheng to sit down, and then said solemnly, "Remember, when encountering such a thing in the future, don't be too busy, keep calm, and don't be too busy to inform us. You have lost a lot of points in Eunuch Xiao's eyes. What if someone else takes this excuse to cause trouble for you?"

"I understand..." Ruisheng muttered this in a low voice, and then raised his head, "But I didn't run out privately! It was Eunuch Xiao who asked me to give it to the young master... No, no, I'm sending a message to the prince. It said that since last year, there has been a severe drought in all parts of the world. From southern Zhili to northern Zhili, there has been little rain everywhere. Only then did the emperor issued an order to exempt the last year's money and grain from Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan, Dezhou, Shandong, Jinan, and Datong Prefecture, Shanxi. Therefore, the Ministry of Revenue refused to plead the money and the avant-garde of the government army on this grounds, saying that the Kuli had no money. His Highness was very unhappy and made a fuss in front of Emperor Wansui for a while. Finally, he patted his chest and said that since it was his soldier, he came to raise money and was scolded by Emperor Wansui, so the money would be allocated from the inner treasury."

Xu Xun didn't expect that Ruisheng Geng was really responsible for his business afterwards. When Ruisheng mentioned the severe drought, he remembered that it did not rain for a long time when he was in Jinling last year, not to mention it after he arrived in the capital. At the beginning of winter, it had been a few light snow, but after the snow in the twelfth lunar month, it seemed that he had never seen any rain and snow again. Now it has been at least one or two months. However, in addition to the northern Zhili, many prefectures and counties in the world are also rampant, which is a bit tricky.

So, after pondering for a while, he suddenly asked: "Ruisheng, you are sorting out the documents in the Sili Supervisor. Do you know how the weather harvest and taxation situation in various places have been from last year to this year?"

If Xu Xun asked those major problems, even if he was the old master, Ruisheng would not dare to say a word. But now when he heard such a question that was not a big deal, he would be much more relaxed. After thinking about it, he replied seriously: "It's not good. Not only last year, it seems that it has been since the previous two years. There are floods and droughts everywhere. I report to exempt money and grain here, and I ask for taxes there. In short, there are disasters everywhere. It is for this cabinet and the six ministers and other old people who have frequently asked to retire due to disasters and disagreements. I remember that Yuanfu Liu Ge Lao Lao's third time, second auxiliary Li Ge Lao Lao's second time, and Ma Shangshu and others have more people, each of them at least three or four times."

"I see……"

Although the Ministry of Revenue's refusal to allocate funds was annoying, the prince made a big fuss in front of the imperial court, and the emperor took out the money from the inner treasury. Xu Xun was quite grateful and made up his mind to scold the two people. Therefore, seeing Ruisheng finishing the serious matter, he muttered the plots of Shouning Hou again. He smiled and comforted: "Don't worry, the matter has not reached that point. Perhaps it was because of Eunuch Li who intends to put pressure on Eunuch Xiao. After all, everyone knows that Eunuch Xiao offended Shouning Hou for the case in the past. This matter is not final in front of the Empress."

"Who has the final say?"

"Of course, the prince has the final say!" Seeing that Ruisheng was a little unbelievable, Xu Xun thought that Ruisheng had been reading and reading books and reading for a while, but now he was concerned, so he simply opened the skylight and said, "Don't worry about Miss Shen. I have already made it clear to Your Highness about Miss Shen. With Your Highness blocking him, the marriage will not be done. If it really doesn't work, I just need someone to fan the flames for Sister Zhang, Big and Big, and I am good at this matter."

"Young Master is wise!"

Seeing that the little guy opened his mouth with such a joyful word and forgot his name, Xu Xun immediately laughed and scolded: Don’t fool me with the flattery you learned in the palace! Go back quickly and confess to Eunuch Xiao honestly, and said that after hearing what he and Eunuch Li said that after hearing that time, don’t lose Eunuch Xiao’s heart because of this matter. If you can gain a foothold in the palace, you are all Eunuch Xiao’s backing!”

"Yes, yes, yes, don't worry, young master, I understand!" Ruisheng lit his head like a chicken pecking at rice. Finally, he suddenly thought of two other things and started to go on. He said, "Also, young master, Mr. Xu, the governor of Wei in Nanjing, just sent a memorial to report two deaths, saying that Mr. Wu Xiong and Wu, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, have passed away. Also, the Yuanmai Guren of the Imperial College, Jiuzi, the priest of the Nanjing Imperial College, has also died."

Suddenly hearing the news of these two deaths, Xu Xun was stunned. He had not had much contact with the prefecture of Yingtian Wu Xiong, but the prefecture had once received praise from many people for being honest and fair. After the incident, he had not waited for the Jinyiwei to intervene or Xu Tiao to instigate him, and then he tried the case with illness and was decisive. Such a noble character and worthy of respect actually died when he died, which really made him feel a little heavy. However, compared to Wu Xiong, Zhang Mao, who was old and lost his wife, was more concerned about him. You know, he had been injured for a month in Zhang Mao!

"How is the current situation of that chapter?"

"I don't know, I only read the memorials that Lord Zhang wrote to say goodbye to the wine several times before, and the memorial that he said he was suffering from illness and asked for retirement. I really don't know what the situation is now. Otherwise, I'll ask Eunuch Xiao?"

"No need... In this way, I'll send Tao Hong back to Nanjing for a look and visit Uncle Six."

After seeing off Ruisheng, Xu Xun called Tao Hongc for the past three months. Tao Hong said he was in charge of the study, but Xu Liang invited Mr. Xixi, the so-called Qingke Guard, to teach the slaves who read and read, read, read, read, read, and read, and reward and punishment, which made the slaves who did not accept the new master very much thankful for the virtues. Among them, Tao Hong, who had a solid foundation in his reading, writing, naturally ranked among the top in all his achievements.

Tao Hong stood in front of Xu Xun at this moment. When he heard the words asked him to return to Nanjing, he was shocked and knelt down with a plop, even his voice trembled: "Young Master...Young Master, you don't want me anymore? If I have any mistakes in taming the young man, you will beat and scold him, and the young man must have changed... The young man knows that he has been lazy these days, and has been secretly reading books in the young man's study, and has secretly used the paper you bought to train..."

When Xu Xun saw the little guy kneeling there and looking nervous and scared, he couldn't help but feel angry and funny. He immediately shouted: "You are thinking about something! You are asking you to go back to Nanjing to do business. Who wants to drive you away? Besides, just because you are lazy, reading books and using my paper secretly, you have to stay in the mansion for your life as a cow and horse compensation. Where do you want to go?"

"Ah!" Tao Hong thought the story was revealed, and seemed to be scared. When he heard the clear teasing intention behind him, he suddenly realized it, but he still knelt down carefully and asked, "What do you want the young man to return to Nanjing to do?"

"One is to visit my sixth uncle, that is, your old master, and say hello to me; second, Lord Wu, the prefect of Yingtian, has passed away, and I don't know if his family has helped me back home. If not, you can send me a gift to me and see what else the Wu family needs to help; third, it is also the most important thing. You go to visit Lord Zhang, the priest of the Imperial College in Nanjing. Lord Zhang just lost his wife. I heard that his wife and son both live in the countryside to see if Lord Zhang has gone back or what. If he goes back, you inquire about the news and don't come back in a hurry. If the news is not good, you go to Lord Zhang's hometown.

In addition to visiting the old master, the two things happened next to Tao Hong. It should be noted that when Wu Xiong was the prefect, his former master Xu Tiao was quite trusting. He often sent things to the officials there, so he had met several times. He naturally respected the prefect very much, but unexpectedly, he passed away. Not to mention Zhang Mao, he served Xu Xun in the Zhang family for a long time. During his lectures to Xu Xun, he often came beside him and listened, and asked questions from time to time. However, the old man was indifferent to his teachings and never scolded him, but he often explained patiently. Therefore, after taking a breath, he vomited a vernacular in a depressed manner.

"How could a good person like Lord Wu and a good man like Lord Zhang... How could he be... a good person doesn't live long and will harm Gan Nian!"
