Recap Chinese Drama "The Long River 2022" Episode 13

Nov 20, 2022

County magistrates from all over the country usually oppress the people and do all kinds of evil, but now they pretend to be clean and protest the relocation. Because of this, they partnered to put pressure on Jin Fu, and even threatened to go to Beijing to sue. Chen Huang was furious when he saw this, and directly exposed the thoughts of these dog officials.

However, the ancients said that "small kindness is the thief of great kindness", if you want to remediate the Yellow River, you must let the people relocate. What's more, Kangxi was determined to create a prosperous world, and the treasury was used to help the people rebuild their houses, choose another good land, and pay back the silver. Therefore, in the relationship between the small situation and the big situation, the dog officials were speechless and left in shame.

Due to the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, Qianlong had no choice but to canonize Concubine Zhao as empress, but he was not at all happy, so he went to the imperial study room to review the memorial that night. In the early morning of the next day, all the ministers came out to accuse Jin Fu and Chen Huang. Kangxi sternly reprimanded him, and used the excuse of warning the ministers to attack Suo'etu and Mingzhu in disguise.

Regarding the delay in issuing silver bills from the Ministry of Accounting, Ethan A responded that they had already sent them to the frontline to pay for the soldiers, and they also made various excuses. Kangxi was furious because of this, saying that Jin Fu and Chen Huang stayed in the river and worked hard without complaint. On the other hand, the ministers sitting in the capital who were enjoying the food and drink, complained and slandered every now and then, all because it made them jealous and gang up.

When Jin Fu inspected the relocation situation in the river, he didn't know that the people rarely left their homes voluntarily. Basically, Chen Huang coerced and lured them to forcibly demolish the houses. Because of this, some people hated Jin Fu and wanted to assassinate him. Fortunately, Jin Fu was fine and was still calming everyone down.

After returning to the River Governor's Mansion, Jin Fu tried his best to persuade Chen Huang to be considerate in doing things and restrain his mad temper, otherwise he would definitely suffer a big loss in the future. Chen Huang knew that he had done something wrong, and his tone gradually softened. Jin Fu asked him to check the stock of food in the warehouse, at least for now to ensure that the people have enough to eat.

Yisang'a complained to Kangxi that the household department really had no money, and Suo'etu took the opportunity to suggest adopting Yu Zhenjia's river control concept, but Gao Shiqi hurriedly refuted, and the rebuttal was justified. Kangxi was upset, so he took Gao Shiqi to the library to think about countermeasures, and finally decided to embezzle internal funds and send them to the River Governor's Mansion.

Since the internal funds belonged to the private property of the royal harem, including the birthday of the queen mother, Kangxi discussed with the empress dowager Xiaozhuang and could only borrow 500,000 taels. Although the money is not too much, at least it can suspend the urgent need. Kangxi felt relieved, passed by the queen's bedroom, went in for a few words and then left.

The mysterious man throws a throwing knife to warn Jin Fu, warning him that if he continues to harm the people and work for the tiger, he will surely take his life. Everyone speculated about the origin of this person's identity, but the scope is too wide, either he is a self-proclaimed chivalrous person, or he is a minion appointed by the county magistrates in various places, but Jin Fu doesn't pay attention to it at all.

Since the last time I was defeated in the River Governor's Mansion, the county magistrates actually went directly to the Governor of Liangjiang, A Xixi, and begged him to come forward to make decisions. Although the county magistrates were filled with righteous indignation, they were all outspoken and did not dare to write a report to the emperor, and they all knew that the emperor used his private treasury to allocate money, which showed that Jin Fu and Chen Huang were deeply favored, and no one was willing to offend them rashly.

At this moment, A Xixi learned of Jin Fu's visit, told the county magistrates a few words, and then went to the study to meet each other. Jin Fu knew that Ku Yin had been forwarded to He Governor's Mansion by the Governor of Liangjiang, so he explained his intention of coming. If Ku Yin had not arrived, he hoped that Axixi would lend a helping hand and borrow the silver in the name of the government. A Xixi pretended to be embarrassed, saying that there is no affection for private loans, and public loans still need to be reported to the court. Obviously, he deliberately made things difficult for Jin Fu.
