Chapter 219: Offering Disaster Relief Strategies
"The rest of the grain and grass today will not last more than two days at most. Some of the victims had no shelter but no food or clothing. John Chen, answer truthfully. He didn't know why Shangguan still asked this. But since she asked, he answered truthfully.
Shangguan still nodded and continued: "Lord Chen, I still have to say some rebellious things. ”
John Chen still bent over, and his words were even more respectful. "The princess has an overreputation, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
"I now probably know what to do about this disaster. ”
When Chu Chen heard this, his eyes swept towards the woman one after another, and both of them had expressions of surprise and uncertainty. saw that the woman looked confident and very sure.
"Lord Chen said that the silver taels for disaster relief have not come down for a long time, and the current situation will not last for two days at most?"
Therefore, it is still recommended that the use of a war-ready granary can solve the root of the problem. ”
At first glance, John Chen felt as if his whole person had been struck by lightning. The complexion was black and white. He really shouldn't have any hope for this woman and use the war granary? Sure this is not for him to die? John Chen regretted his praise for Shangguan just now. Originally, he thought that she would give him some good attention, but he didn't want to make a search idea.
He swallowed his saliva and said, "This ...... This is absolutely unacceptable. The granary of preparation for war is related to the society of the country, and this warehouse must not be opened. Without the emperor's reputation, the ministers did not dare to open a warehouse to release grain. Is this a capital crime? Even if you give the minister a hundred trembling fears, the minister will not dare to make a mistake?"
Chu Chen on the side was a little calm, although Shangguan's words were too unrealistic, but they were the best way to solve the problem. So Chu Chen and John Chen both stood on different positions.
"The emperor once had a holy decree to set up war preparation granaries all over the country, which was for the soldiers to use once there was a war conquest. Without the order, it is not allowed to open a position without authorization, and the violator will be punished as a crime of resisting the order. This oracle is truly known to the king?"
John Chen saw that there was someone standing in his position to help him speak, and his originally tense emotions instantly became suddenly in a state. It was like a stone that weighed on him and was removed.
"What the prince said is very true, and it is very important to prepare for the granary. Without an oral command, the granary for war preparation could not be opened, which was to flout the king's law and ignore it, and the ministers did not dare to make a mistake in panic. After John Chen finished speaking, his eyes swept lightly to the man in Xuanyi.
"I still know that this matter is very important, but if I don't open the warehouse and release the grain, will Lord Chen have a better way?" she glanced at John Chen, and when she saw that he didn't speak, she continued: "If the disaster situation is not better controlled, and the victims do not have a place to live, there will be a large number of riots, and the scene will be even more unimaginable. ”
"Is it possible to open a granary for preparing for war? Far more serious than a mass riot? The people are His Majesty's people, Your Majesty is the belief of the people, and the emperor has always governed the dynasty with the world in mind. The heart of holiness speaks for itself. Lord Chen turned away thousands of victims, doesn't this make the emperor bear the name of inhumanity and injustice?"
"What the princess said is very true, but for generations. War ready food for the whole country. It is used to provide soldiers. To open a granary for the war, the emperor Shengyu is required, and the prince knows this better than the lower officials, and the ministers never dare to make a mistake and open a warehouse without authorization. John Chen resisted angrily, opening a position without authorization This is the punishment of copying the nine clans, even if he has ten guts, he does not dare to despise Sheng Yu. Seeing this, Chu Chen on the side interjected in time.
"Since Lord Chen knows, this king doesn't talk nonsense. Open a warehouse and put it away. ”
Chu Chen's words were like a * thrown at John Chen, and his old face was even more ugly. Carrying a heart of seven up and eight down, I was stumbling for a long time, and I couldn't say half a sentence.
Chu Chen's king-like momentum pressed him not to say anything, he was scared half to death of what Shangguan still said, but now he is even more difficult, riding a tiger, and his body is even more trembling.
"The so-called war conquest of the imperial court, is it to protect the peace and happiness of the imperial court and the people?" Chu Chen saw that he hesitated, so he gave him a political lesson that did not require money.
John Chen still looked nervous, he lowered his head and acquiesced: "Of course. He replied respectfully, but because of Chu Chen's powerful momentum, he tried to restrain his chaotic heart.
"In that case, is there any war at the border at present?" Chu Chen continued to ask. John Chen still shook his head and replied seriously: "Not at the moment~"
"War is regarded as a man-made disaster, but river disasters are natural disasters. How many homes have been destroyed by the torrential rains for several days? Famine has spread everywhere, and tens of thousands of people have lost their homes and are displaced everywhere. A man who is a husband cannot feed his wife and children, a father cannot protect his children and grandchildren, and every family has no rice to cook. ”
At first glance, John Chen was like getting a life-saving talisman, and the whole person suddenly relaxed. The originally nervous body was released, and the old face suddenly danced with his eyebrows, and he was guaranteed by Chu Chen, this is undoubtedly the best life-saving elixir, you must know that Chu Chen's power in the Xingyue Dynasty can be said to be equal to that of today's saints. His words are like the emperor's mouth, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu have spoken, if he is thinking about hesitation, isn't he too ignorant?
"The minister obeys, and the minister will do it. "John Chen thought of this, where did he still think of the people who were stopped here? He was now all focused on the granary of preparing for war, so just as he was about to leave, he was still hurriedly stopped by Shangguan.
"Lord Chen, stay. The woman's voice sounded, and when she saw her coming, she hurriedly stopped her.
John Chen immediately stopped walking. He turned around and said, "Princess Niangniang." What's the matter with summoning the officials?"
Why are you calling for nonsense?, the woman rolled her eyes secretly.
"Lord Chen, the food problem has been solved, but the refugees who were stopped at the city gate and some of the victims in the city have no place to live. In the cold winter, the weather is already cold and biting. After this disaster, the victims of the disaster have been seriously affected mentally and physically, and this includes the elderly and weak women? Without a place to live, what is the use of just having food? Could it be that Lord Chen is allowed to sleep in the open without food. ”
"The princess's lesson is that the lower officials are not thoughtful. Just now, he put all his heart on the granary of war readiness, and he left those people behind at all, and he had to admit that this woman did have her advantages. She thought of such a big thing as opening a granary for the war. I'm afraid I can't find anyone as bold as her in today's world.
"There is not much silver left for disaster relief. There were no tents left in the city to appease the victims. Xia Guan is also worried about this matter. After John Chen finished speaking, he sighed helplessly.
"My lord, there is not much left and there are no extra tents? Leave thousands of victims behind and ignore them? Prevaricate and can't do anything? Thousands of victims are homeless, and the cold wind is cold, even if you give them a bite to eat, it is equivalent to slowly strangling them, and the method is thought up by people. ”
John Chen's face changed, and then he said, "What is the princess's opinion?"
After her advice, John Chen obviously believed that she would give him some good attention, so he put all his hope on Shangguan Yi.
Chu Chen's gaze swept to the woman on the side, and then said indifferently: "This king also wants to know what Ran'er has a high opinion?" This woman always releases her charming edge all the time.
"Donate," the woman said, turning her gaze at the man.
"Donations?" John Chen and Chu Chen glanced at each other.
"That's right, it's a donation, and I still don't have much time to marry the prince, but I also have a general understanding of the development trend of my country. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has always ruled the world with benevolence. In particular, the speed of development in recent years can be said to be the best country in the Kyushu continent, not only prosperous and powerful, but also the country and the people, the wind and rain are smooth, and this is the case in all states and counties. We still believe that donations are the easiest and most important way to solve problems quickly. ”
"The capital is more than ten days away from Fuzhou, and the people affected by the disaster are Fuzhou close to Cangcheng. We can use these two days to expand the channels for donations in the nearby states and counties, and when the imperial court has not yet sent each other the silver taels for disaster relief, we will use the silver taels obtained from the donations to roll the disaster-fighting tents in Cangcheng or outside the city. ”
John Chen nodded again and again in agreement, and Shangguan still spoke. Chu Chen also had an expression of approval.
"Go on. ”
"In order to provide food and clothing to the displaced people as soon as possible, it is still recommended to use authority. Of course, it is not that it has been forced by power, but it is just to issue a donation document to those merchants and landlords. As for how much they have, let them do as they please; after all, we are now a society governed by the rule of law, and of course we cannot abuse power for personal gain. ”
"During the donation period, you can't use power to force people. If it is found that it is light, it will be dismissed and investigated, and severely punished. Some small households do not need to be informed. Mind setting up donation channels in places with the largest number of people on the streets. I ordered some officials to go to the counties in various states and counties on errands. Work together with local officials to record and check each amount, so that nothing is missing. ”
"I still heard what Master Chen said, there is still a surplus of silver taels for disaster relief? Set up some tents, or buy some winter quilts, and organize some large wealthy businessmen to fast in the places where the most people are affected."
"Finding some clever girls to take care of the injured victims will of course be better. Also, I'm looking for a volunteer, and the volunteer's explanation is free. Everything is not for profit but for the pleasure of helping others, and dedicates one's time to help those in need without profit. ”
She knows that there is no such thing as a volunteer in ancient times, but she believes that there are some well-wishers everywhere who are not interested in profit but only for the pleasure of helping others.
is a smart and wise woman, which not only reduces the happiness of the affected people, but also buys the court a lot of days. It's really a great way to get the best of both worlds.
At that time, John Chen admired Shangguan's plan. Then he straightened out his emotions and bowed to Chu Chen: "The lower official understands, the lower official will order someone to do it." ”
"Well, go ahead. She nodded at John Chen and smiled back.
After Chen Hanmo left, Chu Chen quickly hugged her thin waist and lowered her head to his chin, and the men hugged each other as if no one was around, and the sun descended into a very beautiful scenery.
"I always knew that you were very smart, but I didn't know that you were so delicate, but what side of you did I not know?"
"Uh......" The woman rolled her eyes. Then she teased and changed the subject: "So you are saying that I am different from the outside?"
She said and quickly pushed the man away. She ran as fast as she could, and then she turned around and grimaced at the man.
In the carriage, I saw a little boy poking out his cute little head.
"Sister Ran. ”
