Chapter 170: Discuss the plan

Everyone looked at Yun Wanqing suspiciously, not understanding why she suddenly said the words of going out of Beijing together. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yun Wanqing glanced at everyone and said softly, "Just like the eldest brother said, we really want to help those people, but it is still unknown whether these coals can reach those people in the end, after all, not all officials have the people in mind." So in order to ensure that the people can really benefit, why don't we go along? Besides, the road is closed by heavy snowfall, and the road is difficult to transport, and we don't know how far the coal will be transported if there is no one to transport it with us. We may not be able to help if we are too far away, but we can help as much as we can in several states and counties near the capital. ”

Everyone was silent, Yun Wanqing was right, they talked about how to help the people, but no one proposed to go out in person to see what the situation was, what was the use of talking about it?

"Qing'er, what do you think?" Yun Zirui said.

Yun Wanqing thought for a while and said, "Now the top priority is to mine the coal as soon as possible, and then let's set off to different places with the coal transportation teams, and by the way, according to the local situation, help the people get out of the mountains to ensure their life safety." ”

"But Qing'er, let's not talk about how to help the people out of the mountains, whether we can deliver coal to every state and county smoothly is not certain now? After all, many roads were blocked by heavy snow. Yun Zijie said with a frown.

Yun Wanqing sighed and said, "It's up to people!" We are all on the main road, and during this time of mining coal mountain, we first sent personnel to find a way to open the road. This is very necessary, after all, we are not only transporting coal, this heavy snowfall, I don't know how many houses have collapsed, the people must also lack food and clothing, we have to find a way to transport some daily necessities. ”

Everyone didn't speak for a while, and finally Situ Chenyi stood up and said, "Okay, I agree with Qing'er's opinion, let's do it according to Qing'er's method." It's just that this matter must be approved by my father, Qing'er, you can go into the palace with me to meet your father, and if you have any questions, you can discuss them directly. ”

In this regard, everyone did not object, Yun Kening insisted on accompanying him into the palace, and the others went back to their homes and waited for their news.

After today's conversation, Yang Xu and the three of them finally understood why Situ Chenyi, who had always been cold-hearted, was attracted by Yun Wanqing. Just ask such a wise woman who is smart, courageous and cares about the people, who can not be tempted? If it weren't for the fact that the two of them had already made a marriage, even Yang Xuhuan and Zhou Bojian would like her.

Yun Wanqing, Yun Kening and Situ Chenyi entered the palace together, at this time Situ Kai was excited about the coal mountain reported by Situ Hanyu, and then he also thought that how to transport this coal out was a troublesome problem, and the father and son discussed for a long time and did not think of a suitable solution.

"You came just in time, Han Yu has already told me about the coal mountain, I can immediately send a large number of people to mine together, but after this mining, how can we send this coal out?" Situ Kai is also a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people, and he sincerely thinks about the people.

Situ Chenyi replied, "Father, we came here for this reason, Qing'er said that you should send some people to clear the roads to various states and counties first, and then you can transport coal smoothly." ”

Situ Kai frowned and said, "Clear the road? Not to mention this time-consuming and labor-intensive, the most important thing is that the snow has been falling all the time, and it is useless to clean it up, and it will still be slowly covered by snow. ”

Yun Wanqing said softly, "I have a way to do this, as long as we sprinkle salt on the cleaned road, the snow will not be able to condense again in a short time." After that, as long as the convoys carrying coal kept moving, those roads could no longer be blocked by heavy snow. ”

"Salt?" Everyone was a little strange, and they all suspected that they had heard it wrong, how could salt have this effect.

Yun Wanqing nodded affirmatively, "Yes, it's salt." Salt melts snow, and although it doesn't last long, it doesn't take long. ”

"That's no problem, I immediately divided the soldiers into two sides, mining the coal mountain while clearing the road." Situ Kai said, raising his hand and preparing to call someone.

Yun Wanqing hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Father, mining coal mountains requires a lot of manpower, the more people the better, and you must not disperse other people to clean up the road." ”

Situ Kai looked at her suspiciously, "How can you clean up the road without soldiers?" There's no way you're going to let those ministers go, right? ”

Yun Wanqing said with a smile, "Those ministers are naturally not good, the military generals are fine, what if the civil officials faint before they start working?" But they can't, aren't there a lot of subordinates in their house? Dozens of subordinates were transferred out from each house, and there were quite a few of them. ”

Situ Hanyu frowned and interjected, "But how could those ministers obediently send people out to help, as long as they talk about this matter, they will definitely push it back." ”

Yun Wanqing shook her head and said, "No, I promise." We only need to make a public list, and announce how many people have been transferred from each government in front of everyone, and those ministers will definitely rush to let their families come out to help. ”

Yun Wanqing can no longer understand these ways of being officials, and the officials in the court have more or less some comparative thoughts, if they know that their opponents are more than their own people, they will definitely be unwilling and feel that they have lost face. In this way, the provinces will definitely send more people than they imagined.

"Good idea, these adults usually like to compare with each other, if we make such a public list, they will definitely fall for our tricks and rush to send people out." Situ Hanyu said happily.

Yun Wanqing then said, "Also, we can recruit people to come over and help together." The minds of the people are relatively simple, as long as a little benefit is given, those people will definitely come out to help. ”

There is no opinion on this.

Situ Chenyi said, "Father, there is one more thing. It has been snowing for so long, and the cold is only one of the problems, but the more important thing is what the people want to eat? Therefore, the sons implored their father to open a warehouse to release grain, in addition to sending coal to the people, we should also send them grain. ”

Situ Kai frowned in embarrassment and said, "The harvest of grain in our early summer country is very average, and the grain in our granary is prepared for the soldiers at the border pass in the coming year, if we open the warehouse at this time to release the grain, it means that the soldiers at the border pass in the next year will be hungry." ”

Although Situ Kai felt sorry for the people, he was a little worse than the soldiers. After all, if there were no soldiers guarding the city at the border, the early summer country would have been reduced to the plate of other countries, and by that time, there would only be more dead and wounded people.

"Father, can we let the ministers of the court and the central government hand over some grain to each government and distribute it to the people?" Situ Hanyu mentioned.

Before Situ Kai could answer, Yun Wanqing preemptively said, "This is absolutely impossible, asking the minister to send people to clean up the road is just a contribution, and if it involves their interests to let the governments send grain, let's not say whether they will agree or not, this matter is not good for the reputation of the emperor, and it is easy to cause people's hearts to be discouraged." The benefits outweigh the costs. ”

Since ancient times, the reputation of the royal family has been very important, and it is obviously not wise to let everyone know that the royal family cannot even provide a little food to support the people, which will disturb the people's hearts.

"Father, in fact, Qing'er has an idea, but it will take some time to realize. However, Qing'er wants to ask her father to open a warehouse to release grain first, to help the people get through this difficulty, and next year, Qing'er will have a way to repay you ten times the grain. Yun Wanqing said.

Yun Wanqing has lived in the early summer country for so many years, and she still knows a lot about the agriculture of the early summer country. Only one crop of grain is grown here, and the variety is also very simple. In fact, Yun Wanqing has long had the idea of letting farmers plant two crops of grain, as well as corn, sorghum and wheat, which can also be planted, and when this matter is resolved, give her some time, she will definitely be able to grow food that is no longer afraid of not being able to eat.

Situ Kai looked at Yun Wanqing in disbelief, he knew that Yun Wanqing was very smart, but he didn't believe it when he returned him ten times the grain.

How could Yun Wanqing not see Situ Kai's suspicions, she said confidently, "Father, in fact, this grain can be planted with two crops, and in the interval between these two crops, other foods can also be planted. You believe me, when this incident is over, Qing'er will personally go to the ground to test, and she will definitely succeed. Qing'er promised that in the early summer, the country would never be short of food again. ”

Situ Kai looked at Yun Wanqing with a shocked face, and his face was still excited, because he knew that Yun Wanqing was not a person who said anything, and if she could make a guarantee, it showed that she was sure that she would succeed.
