Chapter 840: How to Relieve Disasters

"Huh. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 As soon as she finished speaking, someone in the minister immediately let out a disdainful sneer and a sigh.

Take the silver, the food, the clothing, the manpower out to help the disaster?

This method doesn't need Su Scarlet to say, they all understand it!

Seemingly...... This Su Scarlet is nothing more than that, I thought she would say something surprising.

"Take silver, food, clothing, and manpower to come out for disaster relief...... Emperor Qi repeated Su Scarlet's words, and the expectation in his eyes instantly turned into a faint disappointment: "It seems that this is the only way to do it now, come here......"

Seeing that the emperor of Qi was about to issue an order to allocate funds for disaster relief, Su Feise immediately stopped: "Slow, the allocation of funds for disaster relief is definitely needed, but...... There is one more thing that needs to be addressed before disaster relief, otherwise...... Even if the imperial court allocates money, this matter cannot be completely resolved. ”

"There are still things that need to be resolved, what are they?" the Emperor of Qi frowned slightly.

"What's the matter?" Su Feise did not directly answer the question of the Emperor of Qi, but swept his eyes over all the ministers present, and then turned his head to the affected people and said: "Come, tell me, since the disaster, can the government have any disaster relief measures? Whether it is soup kitchen, clothing or direct silver, you can say it." ”

"This ......" The people affected by the disaster looked at each other, and then glanced at the Emperor of Qi and the ministers present, but no one dared to say it.

Seeing this, Su Scarlet continued: "Don't be afraid, the emperor is here, you just have to tell the real situation, and the emperor will definitely avenge your grievances." ”

Her voice was extremely gentle, as if she was comforting the child, but in this tenderness, there was enough strength for people to rely on, which made people feel very relieved to listen to

was encouraged by her like this, and among the people affected by the disaster, some people immediately couldn't help but stand up: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Nine, since the disaster, the government has not had any disaster relief measures, and we have not received any assistance, even if there is...... It's also to gag our mouths, so that we don't make these things public......"

"What? The government doesn't have any disaster relief measures, and you haven't received any relief? How is this possible? I have already instructed the government officials in the affected areas to open warehouses and release grain to the victims, and I have also allocated a large amount of silver, food and clothing from the treasury, how can you ......?" said the Emperor of Qi in surprise.

Thinking back to what Su Scarlet had just said that the disaster relief materials had not been delivered to the people at all, her brows suddenly furrowed.

Seeing that the Emperor of Qi did not believe them, the people affected by the disaster immediately became anxious.

I didn't care about any etiquette or impropriety, whether it was appropriate or not, and they spoke one after another: "Your Majesty, what we said is true, and there is no half-truth." ”

"Yes, yes, how dare we lie in front of the emperor? Even if we lend us a hundred guts, we don't dare. ”

You say a word, people, and I say a word.

The faces of many of the ministers present were really pale to the extreme.

But Su Scarlet didn't intend to let them go so easily, raised her hand to signal the people to be quiet, and then asked: "Oh, since the government doesn't have any disaster relief measures, and you haven't received any help, then even if there is anything you just said, it's to plug your mouth, what's the matter?"

"Many people died in this disaster, some drowned, some starved, some froze to death, and some died of disease...... The government is afraid that we will publicize this matter and spread it to the capital, so that the emperor will know, and occasionally give a soup soup to gag our mouths and appease us, but ...... Even if it wasn't, it was rice soup where you couldn't get any rice at all......" When the people who spoke said this, they couldn't help but cry.

As soon as the Emperor of Qi heard this, his eyes immediately widened with anger, and he pointed at the ministers present and scolded: "Is this the porridge made from the bark of a tree? Is this what people eat? I give you so much money every month, but you give these things to my people? Are you worthy of me, worthy of the Qi country, worthy of these people, worthy of your own conscience?"

As soon as the words of the Emperor of Qi came out, all the ministers were so frightened that they all knelt down: "The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry......"

"Kill all of you, bury those who died, and I will be angry!" The Emperor of Qi was so angry that the blue tendons on his forehead burst out, which showed that he truly loved these people.

It's a pity...... After all, the emperor is the emperor, and he sits in the main hall every day, locked in this red wall and yellow tile, and what he can know is very, very limited after all.

And most importantly......

The place affected this time happened to be the border area of the Qi State, and it can be said that the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and he can't control it.

Otherwise...... will not let her take advantage of this loophole and use this opportunity to attack Princess Yunzhen's ambition and establish her own prestige.

"The emperor is angry, in the opinion of the grass people, the reason why the government occasionally gives porridge is not only to stop the mouths of these victims, but also for another reason, that is, to organize riots. Su Scarlet said, paused, and continued: "They also said just now, this disaster has killed a lot of people, and the people have watched their relatives and friends die one by one, that kind of fear, that kind of helplessness, is indescribable, and wanting to live is the most basic consciousness of everyone, so if the government doesn't even use the porridge boiled with tree bark, and forces people to be anxious, the victims are very likely to unite together, break through the yamen, and grab the food in the yamen to eat, and then ...... Not to mention the officials of one government, even the officials of ten government offices can't be suppressed, after all...... It is their duty to suppress the people, and the people rebel against them for their lives. ”

In the final analysis, no matter what reason the government is giving, the purpose of their grooming is for themselves, not for the people.

The Emperor of Qi was trembling with anger, as if he couldn't believe that there was such a unconscionable minister under his subordinates, he clenched his fists and said: "Kill, kill all these people!

"Yes. The words of the Emperor of Qi fell, and immediately a guard responded and ran out.

Seeing this, Su Feise continued: "The local government should indeed be killed, but ...... Are they the only ones who should be killed?"

"What does Lady Nine mean......" Emperor Qi had become more and more appreciative of Su Scarlet's abilities and began to ask her opinion.

I have to say that although Su Scarlet is only a woman, she is hundreds of times stronger than the ministers present.

At least...... In this case, she was the only one who dared to stand up and discuss disaster relief with him, while the others ......

"Has the emperor thought about it, why the imperial court has obviously allocated the disaster relief materials, but the affected people can only occasionally drink porridge made from tree bark? Where did all these disaster relief materials from the imperial court go? Or, whose pocket did they go to?" Su Scarlet raised her eyebrows, but without waiting for the Emperor of Qi to answer, she continued: "The local government officials are all nine-grade sesame officials, the largest and largest are no bigger than the seven-grade, such petty officials, they have the courage to embezzle so many disaster relief materials?" Not to mention having the guts, even if he borrowed ten more guts and asked him to embezzle so many disaster relief materials himself, it was simply impossible, unless they didn't want to die, in that case...... Then these disaster relief materials are certainly not embezzled by themselves, but have been divided among them, who are these people? I believe that there is no need for the grass people to say more, and the emperor also knows that if there is no one to cover them, who would dare to be so arrogant?"

"You said this, is there any evidence?" What Su Feise said, the Emperor of Qi had indeed thought of it.

But...... Thinking about it, after all, this is a matter of accusing the minister, how can it be done without evidence?

"Evidence? The imperial court obviously allocated disaster relief materials, but the affected people did not receive them, this is evidence, if it weren't for someone embezzlement, so many disaster relief materials could have disappeared out of thin air?" Su Feise said sneeringly, but did not argue: "Of course, the grass people are definitely not the kind of people who talk nonsense, and they know that everything is justified and well-founded, so long before the grass people and the Ice Dance Princess entered Beijing, the grass people had already taken advantage of the Ice Dance Princess to send people for disaster relief, and secretly left evidence." ”

"Wu'er sent people to help the disaster?" Su Scarlet's words fell, and the Emperor of Qi immediately burst out in surprise.

Not only that, but the eyes of the ministers present also quickly flashed a flash of surprise.

It is not surprising that such a shrewd person as Su Scarlet would secretly leave evidence, but the ice dance ......

This rude and willful princess would take the initiative to send people for disaster relief?

That's a big deal.

"That's right, when the Ice Dance Princess passed through Yicheng, because she couldn't bear to see the people of Yicheng displaced and incapable of food and clothing, she paid 100,000 taels of silver and ordered people to go to the local government and merchants to buy food, and set up a tent to give porridge and distribute it to the affected people, and the grass people took advantage of the Ice Dance Princess to order people to go to the local government and merchants to buy food, so that the people who bought it left the purchase account book as evidence...... With these ledgers and the list of sellers, I believe that the emperor can follow the vine and find out the backers hidden behind them. Su Scarlet said with a light smile.

And when her words fell, the hand of the Emperor of Qi hidden under the sleeve robe was immediately squeezed tightly, and the invisible anger burned under his eyes, and everyone present could feel the murderous aura emanating from him.
