Chapter 42 Drought and Flooding
"Chan'er, do you believe me? Do you believe what I said to you? ”
Chan'er nodded: "I wish to win the hearts of one person, and the white heads will not be separated." Once you thought about giving up your identity as a prince for me, why don't I believe you? It's just that... There are many rights and wrongs in this palace, I only hope that you and I can go to the end safely. ”
Went to the end peacefully? When was the last time she spoke?
At this time, I suddenly heard footsteps approaching outside the door, Chan'er could distinguish it when she heard this voice, there were at least six people coming, including the general? And the emperor! Liang Ping and He Yiruo are also among them, and the rest can't be distinguished for the time being.
Chan'er's eyes rolled slightly, so she bowed her head and whispered a few words beside Situ Ye, and Situ Ye nodded.
When the emperor took Xiang Guo Wenbin, the general Pang Dingshan, the left minister Ling Hao, the Taifu Qin Zhengpeng and He Yiruo, under the leadership of Liang Ping, to the door of the study, Liang Ping was about to shout, but was stopped by the emperor with his hand.
The emperor listened attentively to the movement in the study, it was he who personally ordered Chan'er to be Situ Ye's "Taifu", of course he wanted to know what Chan'er would teach Situ Ye, today was supposed to have something, just heard Liang Ping say that he and Chan'er were in the study, and the emperor wanted to hear it with his own ears.
I only heard Chan'er say: "This question you said is good, but after all, it is a natural disaster, how do you think it can prevent drought and flooding?" ”
Situ Ye thought for a while: "I'm not my father, I'm not as eloquent as him, I can't think of it, what do you say, Mr. Woman?" ”
The emperor straightened up when he heard this, and he was really proud to hear Situ Ye's obvious pursuit, but more importantly, he really wanted to know, what vision they had for preventing drought and flooding?
At this time, in the study, after Chan'er gave Situ Ye a big white eye, she picked up the ring ruler and slapped Situ Ye's palm three times, which was originally good, and Situ Ye said that the emperor would change his opinion of him, but he actually threw the problem to her in a grand manner!
That's why she angrily picked up the ring ruler and left traces of the ring ruler on Situ Ye's hand for the first time.
The corners of the emperor's mouth twitched, is it really right to let Chan'er be his master? She's not communiqué for personal vendetta, is she?
For drought and flooding, it has been a very thorny problem since ancient times, that is, he can't prevent it perfectly. Now that they have talked about it, but because Situ Ye did not put forward good preventive measures, he was given three lashes, will it be too strict?
But then Chan'er's words made the emperor completely change, not only did he change his opinion of Chan'er, but he was also very satisfied with the fact that he let Chan'er be Situ Ye's master, and he also felt that he was wise and martial!
"Natural disasters have existed since ancient times. Although we will have a celestial supervisor to detect the celestial phenomena, isn't there a saying that there are unpredictable storms in the sky? If you don't take precautions in advance, what if you know about them? What to do? So the focus is on prevention. ”
Chan'er pursed her lips, I don't know how the emperor would feel if he said these words in front of the emperor? He wouldn't kill me in a fit of rage, would he? My life is really like a straw, and I could die at any time!
"First of all, drought, no matter which dynasty, droughts are very frequent, and the occurrence cycle has a tendency to shorten, from the beginning of the drought, it has formed a wide-ranging, long-lasting, dangerous disaster chain..."
Situ Ye suddenly interrupted Chan'er's words when he heard this, and asked, "What is a disaster chain?" ”
Chan'er couldn't help but stroke her forehead, she forgot about it, and really thought she was a teacher, but in her previous life, she was not a teacher, but she just taught others, and she really liked to do educational work, if it weren't for her grandfather, she would choose to be a teacher.
So she coughed lightly, and the expression on her face was very stern.
"It's like a rope... And then strung these three things together, it was originally a small danger, but what about after they were strung together? That's not a small danger. If we can let the people live and work in peace and contentment, why can't we dominate the world? Hehe, but I also know that dominating the world is not an overnight thing, nor is it just a solution to the problem of drought and flooding. But Ah Ye, don't you want the people of the world to live happily? Your father is the emperor, you have to be filial, and it is what you should do to propose some good suggestions to solve problems for your father. You feel sorry for your father's daily work for the state, so you can do your best to make your father's people rich, why not? Maybe the method I said can't solve everything, but the truth that adds up, I believe you understand, and your father understands it better. ”
Chan'er's face showed a touch of sorrow: "I am a woman, I never worry about who will rule the country, the only thing I worry about is whether he can make us ordinary people live a rich life, if we can, we will be grateful to Dade, and we will protect it, on the contrary, it will be the opposite." This is also the truth that water can carry a boat and can also capsize a boat. Ah Ye, if you are a common man, what do you think? ”
Situ Ye frowned, he was born a prince, but today he heard this sentence from Chan'er's mouth, which aroused a lot of reaction in his heart, yes, if he was an ordinary person, would he care who was sitting on the top seat?
Situ Ye went out to practice this time, and he also heard a lot of people's voices and grievances. Those ordinary people, some even only know that the emperor is the king, and they don't know anything else, and they don't have time to know.
They just have some grievances, but when they can't get justice, they will scold the emperor for being mediocre and incompetent, and they will scold the world for being as black as a crow, but a few of them know how much of their affairs can reach the ears of the king!
If someone in the court stands up and speaks for the common people, mentioning yì, good building yì, the emperor adopts it, and then the common people will say that the emperor is good and the emperor is wise. This is a very one-sided thing in Situ Ye's eyes.
He finally knew why his father let him go out with Seventh Brother to practice, and his father wanted them to understand a truth.
As an emperor, he is not a god, just a person, he really can't think about everything thoughtfully and meticulously, as a person in a high position, the only thing he can do is to do his best to make the country peaceful and make the people rich, and don't listen to biased beliefs.
"The people at the bottom don't care who is sitting on top of them, they only care about whether they can live a happy life! It's not selfishness, it's human instinct! Is that right? ”
Just like when he hoped to join hands with Chan'er, the two of them were free in the mountains and rivers, who would be the emperor of the country at that time, did he care?
No, he doesn't care, and he doesn't even care, whether that person can make the country stable and whether he can keep the foundation of the former Jin Kingdom.
"Yes, because they are just ordinary people, and although they want to be rich, they don't want to be rich. To put it irreverently, even if the dynasty changes, they are still only the lowest class of the people. But if the current emperor can prevent trouble before it happens, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, if there is a war, young people will naturally voluntarily join the army, they are not for anything else, but they are worried that the next emperor will not be able to let their parents live and work in peace and contentment! With such thoughts, why worry about having no soldiers in the army? ”
"That's right! So that we are one step closer to being invincible, alas? Wait, how do we digress? ”
Situ Ye suddenly remembered that they seemed to be discussing the problem of drought and flooding!
And the emperor outside the study obviously let out a breath of turbidity, you finally realized that you were off topic? However, Chan'er's words are really reasonable, if there are more people who voluntarily join the army, they will naturally be invincible on the battlefield.
Although it can't be invincible, it's really a step forward.
When the Taifu looked at the emperor's appearance, he knew that the emperor was very satisfied with this woman who spoke, but who was she? A female streamer dares to openly talk about the government! Do you want to be able to do it?
I only heard Chan'er say, "Okay, let's talk about how to defend against floods and droughts in front of us, in the previous dynasties, there was no shortage of displaced people and social turmoil due to this, which turned into rogue bandits, armed uprisings, and even large-scale uprisings, crisis dynasties." ”
After hearing this, the emperor glanced at the general, and the general had a smile in his eyes, she was really still so bold that she dared to say anything! He didn't believe that a few of them were coming, Situ Ye didn't hear the footsteps, so if he said this at this time, it must have been Chan'er's idea.
"We should take precautions in times of peace now. When a disaster strikes, we can't do nothing because we have taken precautions, we still have to fight against drought, for example, we can provide relief, resettle for food, protect vegetation, improve crops, improve farming techniques, etc. ”
Situ Ye originally wanted Chan'er to talk about it briefly, but who would have thought that Chan'er would be able to say such a meaningful thing, but what does protecting vegetation and improving crops have to do with drought prevention? And how should farming techniques be improved?
Chan'er could see Situ Ye's thoughts, after all, this is ancient times, many of them will not understand, if it is a modern person, there should not be any doubts: "In fact, nature is very harmonious, but with the exploitation of agriculture, resources are destroyed, which leads to soil erosion and desertification, which increases the occurrence of natural disasters such as floods and droughts to a certain extent." If you don't believe me, you can ask to go and inspect it in person to see if there are more droughts, floods and other disasters in those places where the wasteland is strictly opened? ”
There is no need to personally inspect this issue, and it can be distinguished according to the local reporting and tax situation, and it seems to be related.
"Those who are good for the country must first eliminate their five evils. This is not just talk. And if floods and droughts are frequent, where will the country get so much food to relieve them? Therefore, the focus is still on drought prevention and disaster relief. ”
Situ Ye nodded, of course he knew, "How to prevent it?" ”
"I have read an ancient proverb, in which it is proposed that the way is to 'serve the people in agriculture, thin endowment, and extensive accumulation', etc., 'to prepare for water and drought', which means that farmers can have a certain amount of grain storage, which is the idea of valuing agriculture to prevent disasters, and it is also equivalent to hiding wealth for the people."
