The Long River 天下长河 Episode 14

Although Jin Fu had already explained his purpose, Axixi refused to allocate funds for a long time, threatening that even if the victims rebelled, they could still be suppressed by force. It is precisely because of A Xixi's bad behavior of withholding the official bank that Jin Fu notified all the county magistrates to open warehouses and release grain. The officials reacted strongly, and none of them were willing to hand over the public warehouses, bluntly saying that using public grain would be a violation of national law. However, Jin Fu never followed the rules and regulations. The most urgent task was to solve the problem of food for the people. Only in this way could he manage the Yellow River with peace of mind.

Jin Zhiyu was ordered to lead He Bing to the public warehouses in various counties to carry grain. Unexpectedly, the Governor-General of Liangjiang dispatched green battalion soldiers to make trouble. There was a fierce conflict between the two sides, and even the common people were arrested by the green battalion soldiers. After Jin Fu learned about it, he personally dealt with A Xixi, completely ignoring his orders.

Undoubtedly, this act offended A Xixi completely. He became angry and scolded Jin Fu, and was about to imprison them all, but he did not expect that the three thousand river soldiers had assembled and surrounded them, and they had already set up defenses nearby and waited for orders. A Xixi knew that there was a disparity in the number of people between the two sides. Although he had some scruples in his heart, he still bit the bullet and played a rogue, and he was sure that Jin Fu would not kill him in public.

Jin Fu reprimanded A Xixi for his shameless behavior, and then notified Uncle Guo He to check the remaining amount of the River Governor's Mansion, and decided to move the River Governor's Mansion to the relocation site. From now on, Jin Fu announced to help the people build temporary shacks and share the joys and sorrows with everyone until the grain was distributed by the government and the bank. A Xixi felt incredible when he heard the words.

After this matter was over, A Xixi took the initiative to write to Suo'etu to sue Jin Fu, and Suo'etu sent someone to reply to A Xixi to stabilize his mind. Today is different from the past. Kangxi likes to reuse Han people, not to mention Jin Fu's favor is Zhenglong. In fact, Kangxi is as clear as a mirror about the river course. He suspects that Axixi is rich in private pockets and has no evidence, so he plans to appoint an imperial envoy to investigate.

Kangxi adopted Suo'etu's suggestion. On the surface, he appointed Xu Qianxue as the imperial envoy, but in fact he asked Gao Shiqi to conduct a secret investigation. On the other hand, Xu Qianxue came to thank Suo Xiang, but Suo Etu pretended to be profound, and in a few words, he drew Xu Qianxue to work for him, and used the power of the imperial envoy to protect A Xixi.

When Chen Huang heard that the imperial envoy was Xu Qianxue, he was very happy, and really thought that he was here to bring justice to the people. However, at first Xu Qianxue wanted to show off his authority in front of Axixi, and resolutely rejected the fire dragon sable coat he sent, but when he came to the Governor's Mansion, he became the object of Axixi's arbitrary play.

Originally, Xu Qianxue was timid and cowardly, and he didn't dare to offend the power in the court rashly, so when he heard that Axixi and Suo'etu had a close relationship and were highly valued by Kangxi, he changed his attitude instantly. A Xixi's scheme succeeded, and he hosted a banquet in honor of Xu Qianxue, and he was able to buy him off with just a sable coat. Xu Qianxue conveyed Suo'etu's meaning on his behalf, and A Xixi suddenly realized that Suo'etu was dragging himself to cause a civil uprising, and Jin Fu would naturally have difficulty ending it.

After drinking and eating, Xu Qianxue rested for a while in the Governor's Mansion, and then came to the territory governed by Jin Fu. Everyone had been waiting for a long time, and Chen Huang even went to meet him at the intersection. Jin Fu specially prepared Hu spicy soup and coarse grain steamed buns for him, all of which were food cobbled together by the hungry people. When Xu Qianxue learned that there were only five days of rations left in the River Governor's Mansion, and the steamed buns were hard to swallow, he felt a little uncomfortable.
