Chapter 191: The Law of Response

"Yes, it is Cangzhou, presumably the situation there, Qiubai knows best. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Luo Qingran also knew Mu Qiubai's background, so he didn't feel surprised by his reaction.

"However, since I can remember, there has never been any major natural disaster in Cangzhou, and almost all of them have been smooth."

Mu Qiubai still can't imagine that Cangzhou, which has beautiful mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery in his memory, will have a big flood.

"But I remember it like this." Luo Qingran nodded affirmatively.

Mu Qiubai also knew that she was not a person who would exaggerate, and besides, Luo Qingran really didn't need to use this to deceive him, thinking that Cangzhou was the place where he grew up, he also began to be a little anxious.

"Does Miss Luo know the exact time of the flood?"

"This, I don't know, I just know it's coming." Luo Qingran shook his head and made an apologetic expression at Mu Qiubai.

Mo Yao saw that Mu Qiubai was a little stunned, so he comforted: "Qiubai, it is useless to ask these questions now, the most important thing is to start preparing and find a way to minimize the damage." ”

Luo Qingran listened to Mo Yao's words and hurriedly said: "Exactly, Qingran came to find a few people today, and it was also for this matter. ”

"Oh, tell me, what do you think?" Mo Yao thought of Luo Qingran's novel ideas, and began to wonder what she was going to do this time.

Luo Qingran saw that the three of them were staring at him, and he didn't have time to be pretentious, so he told them his plan first.

"Several of them are transparent people, and naturally know, but when there is a serious disaster, the most feared is that some merchants will hoard grain and not distribute it, and raise prices, and if there is really a major flood, the harvest of the grain fields in the south will be reduced, so that the people will be terrified; In fact, the people do not want much in their hearts, nothing more than to be fed and clothed, and have surplus food at home, if a serious disaster comes, they will have no good harvest, they will not be able to eat, they will have to pay taxes, and they will be exploited by others, which is more likely to cause instability among the people, and there may even be riots, so it is the most important thing to let them have enough to eat; There is also one thing, which is a sudden illness, and even more seriously, there may be a plague, these two things are the biggest problems to be solved at the moment. ”

The reason why she didn't say that there must be a plague was also because she thought that if they had prepared for it this time, would they have avoided such a terrible disaster?

"You're right, these two things are indeed the biggest problems after the disaster." Mo Yao looked at Luo Qingran's eloquent appearance, and for some reason, he suddenly felt very relieved in his heart.

"Yes, Miss Luo's words are true," Mu Qiubai also nodded and agreed, "Although Qiubai has not personally experienced the disaster, he has also heard his fathers mention that after the disaster in some places, officials and businessmen colluded to make profits from it, which led to the misery of life and the misery of the people. ”

When he said this, he didn't mean to carry Mo Yao on his back.

Anyway, how he offended the magnates in Huajing City, Mo Yao knew very well, he just didn't have a good impression of most of the officials, so naturally there was no need to hide it in front of Mo Yao.

And Mo Yao himself did know a lot about some of the shortcomings in the officialdom, so he didn't blame Mu Qiubai for his "disrespectful words", but was anxious to know Luo Qingran's plans.

Therefore, he asked, "Since you have proposed this, what are you planning in mind, why don't you tell me and listen to it?" ”

"If the prince and Qiubai can trust Qingdian, then Qingzhi has only one idea, which is to hoard food and medicine."

She thought about it, it was impossible for them to stop the natural disaster, and even if Mo Yao went to Emperor Qiyang to talk about it right now, how could Mo Yao open this mouth?

Could it be said that Luo Qingran dreamed of foreseeing a disaster in the south? Obviously not.

Besides, even if Emperor Qiyang reluctantly believed their "nonsense", it was too late to send people to the south to stop the flood.

Therefore, all they can do is to stock up on food and medicinal herbs as soon as possible when those profiteers and corrupt officials have not yet reacted, and do their best to properly arrange the lives of the victims when the catastrophe really comes.

As long as the person is still there, everything else can be repeated.

Moreover, she believes that if there is really a major flood, the imperial court will inevitably allocate funds for disaster relief, and Prince Duanjin will definitely not allow those corrupt officials to embezzle disaster relief silver and other goods, and these are precisely the hope for the disaster victims to live.

"Your idea is not bad, but how much to hoard and how to hoard still needs to be carefully discussed." As soon as Luo Qingran said that he wanted to stock up on food and medicine, Mo Yao had a plan in his heart.

He thought about it for a long time and felt that what Luo Qingran said was very true.

In fact, he has always known that some businessmen and officials have always secretly colluded in order to make profits together, which is indeed a big problem, but the so-called Shen Ke is difficult to eliminate, and such things cannot be solved by his own efforts, so as long as they do not violate his bottom line, he rarely cares about these things.

After all. Even Emperor Qiyang has no way to take these, and many times he turns a blind eye.

However, if there is really a serious disaster, and there are still people who want to take this opportunity to make personal profits from it, he will not tolerate it!

"Does the prince want to reveal the matter to the emperor?" Luo Qingran thought about it and asked.

After all, Mo Yao's identity is different from them, and the ones he needs to consider are naturally different.

"I can't say it for now," Mo Yao shook his head, "It's a bit of a thing... Some nonsense, but it involves a huge amount, and if there is no definite basis, it cannot be said to the imperial brother. ”

He also thought about this problem, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of a convincing reason to explain this matter to Emperor Qiyang, besides, he had to involve Luo Qingran in a little carelessness, which he was also unwilling.

It's just that this reason is buried in his heart and not spoken.

Luo Qingran was actually similar to what Mo Yao thought, and the reason why he asked this question was just to ask for peace of mind.

Yes, she didn't want Emperor Qiyang to know about this matter for the time being.

The ancestor of the Luo family, as a minister, does not say anything about the fault of the heavenly family, but Luo Qingran felt uncomfortable when he thought of the last order given by Emperor Qiyang in his previous life.

Although Emperor Qiyang was also "forced to be helpless", in the end, it also caused so many people to die in vain, which is really sighing.

In Luo Qingran's opinion, if he can't keep his subjects in the face of major events, he can't be called a Ming Jun!

Of course, she would never say such a "rebellious" remark, but it did not prevent her from making other calculations in her heart.

So she deliberately asked: "Qing Dye has an idea, I don't know if I should talk about it?" ”

"That's all that has been said, if there's anything you can't say, let's talk about it."

As soon as Mo Yao looked at her expression, he knew that most of the things she wanted to say were related to herself, but she might still have concerns and didn't dare to say it explicitly, so she asked. (To be continued.) )
