Chapter 194: The World
Longzhou
Since the beginning of summer, there have been more reports of flooding in various places.
Not only floods, but also droughts and wind and insect pests.
As a large country, its territory is directly proportional to the problems it encounters.
The emperor was not in a good mood these days, and his body was a little unwell.
It's an old problem, it's just ordinary hemorrhoids.
After sitting for a long time, a ball of flesh grows in the anal opening, and then the bowel movement is not smooth.
He had this disease several times, and each time he was cured for several years after being treated by the imperial doctor, and then he recurred a few years later.
This disease is more annoying, now the emperor has to sit in his seat for an hour, he has to get up and take a walk, or go to the special bathroom to take off his pants and change into a special towel that can absorb water.
It's all like this, how can you be in a good mood?!
After reviewing the documents all morning, Emperor Wenwu was upset.
Troublesome! Troublesome!
This wants something, that wants something, more than half of the forty-three states are causing him trouble!
Despite this, Emperor Wenwu still had patience, read all the documents, and gave solutions as in previous years.
Those who ask for money give money, those who want food give food, agree to the requests of some people, and rain down thunder on some bad things!
After Emperor Wenwu wrote another instruction, he took a break and looked at the rest of the people in the hall.
In addition to the ministers who were reviewing documents and talking in whispers, there were also descendants of the royal family.
There are men and women among these people, and women are only a small minority.
The descendants of Emperor Wenwu are also in it, but there are only three of them, and they are not that kind of excellent talents.
In the choice of descendants, Emperor Wenwu also has his own considerations, he still respects his father's wishes, as long as it is a descendant with royal blood, whether it is his son or not, he is eligible to run for the emperor.
Emperor Yanwu refers to his descendants, and Emperor Wenwu has also been an emperor for a long time, and he is naturally more affectionate, and he lacks too much affection for his women and sons.
If it was for the sake of the country, he wouldn't mind passing the throne to his brother's good talent.
The talented descendants have been arranged by Emperor Wenwu to serve in various states and cities, and they have become familiar with the operation of the country from the grassroots level.
Emperor Wenwu himself came up like this, so he felt that this system was very good.
Although the excellent candidates have been released, there are also some royal children left by their side.
Emperor Wenwu quickly stood up, stepped down from the high treasure seat, and came to the side of an old man in his fifties.
"Defeat the enemy, can you encounter a problematic report?"
Emperor Wenwu greeted this grandchild in a normal tone, and this old man was the grandson of his elder brother.
Jiang Kedi quickly stood up and said: "Everything is normal, most of them are reports about officials in various places, among which there are some people who do nothing, and there are also some rat thieves, all of whom have been instructed in accordance with the regulations. ”
Emperor Wenwu nodded, "It's just a matter of doing nothing, rat thieves, kill if you deserve it!" ”
Jiang Kedi said respectfully: "Yes! ”
Emperor Wenwu casually picked up a report on Jiang Kedi's desk, and put it down after reading it.
This is talking about an official of Muzhou, who applied for Muzhou ID cards for the descendants of several pioneers for a little personal gain.
The instructions are simple, capital offense.
Emperor Wenwu had dealt with a lot of documents, and at this time he said: "It's been this kind of thing all day long, when you were dealing with government affairs today, did you encounter a report that you remembered?" ”
Jiang Kedi quickly said: "I remember everything, but if I want to say that the most impressive thing is Wang Lanling, the governor of Heishui County, who didn't do anything when he was dealing with the floods, and took 20,000 people to study how to make roast chicken and roast duck delicious." ”
Emperor Wenwu showed a thoughtful look, although he had a lot of magic every day, he still had some memory of the name Wang Lanling.
After all, he became an official at such a young age, and he is still a very talented person in his own right.
Emperor Wenwu had already snubbed this person, and he didn't expect to hear this person's name again.
"Oh, I also know this person, how did you give instructions?"
Emperor Wenwu wanted to know Jiang Kedi's instructions.
Jiang Kedi said: "Although there is some unscrupulous business, but according to the report, this person has managed more than 20,000 people in an orderly manner at a young age, and when he does not use the money and grain in the county, he only relies on some support from the county town, and borrows a lot of money from various households in the city, and the county officials and villagers are all admired. ”
"When you don't delay the water control, it is interesting to make some roast chicken and roast duck."
Wang Lanling did not commit a major crime, so Jiang Kedi did not fall into the ground, and everything was restored as stated in the report.
Emperor Wenwu frowned, "Show me." ”
"Yes!" Jiang Kedi quickly rummaged through the processed documents.
Soon Emperor Wenwu got a recent report on Wang Lanling.
The emperor no longer pays attention to this person, but this person is a person who leads more than 20,000 laborers to carry out forced labor, and it is a dereliction of duty for the secret agents of Heishui County not to report this matter!
The emperor wanted to know how Wang Lanling scavenged money from the county, he just wanted to know this, as for how to control the water...... This emperor didn't care.
It's good to drown, save trouble, anyway, it will be overcrowded again in a few years.
After the catastrophe and illness, it was the time when the imperial power was at its most stable.
This is, the world!
The world of the emperor's family!
Jiang Kedi's instructions are very simple, one word, [read]!
This is an intelligence investigation sent by his subordinates, and Jiang Kedi wrote a reading word, which means that he knows it and doesn't care about it for the time being.
For example, those who steal the country's money from rats are of course severely punished.
Seeing this reading, the emperor didn't care, he mainly wanted to know what Wang Lanling had done for a while.
There are disasters every year, and there are also things like collecting taxes and greedy for money in various places, so the emperor doesn't care what the local officials do, as long as there are public grievances, they are not good officials.
If after the flood, the victims do not burden the court, do not complain about the court, do not wander around, and stay where they are honestly, it will be a success in water control!
How many people died has never been something that the emperor cares about, he only cares about the trouble caused by this matter.
If Wang Lanling can make the people of Heishui County peacefully accept the fact that their house is flooded, then for the emperor, this is the most advanced experience in water control!
The emperor will also control the water and people, but he does not know how to borrow money from the common people, and those people will not refuse, will not resist, and will not be dissatisfied.
What did Wang Lanling do?
Windmill mills, forced labor, buying supplies from merchants, growing vegetables, catching fish, making noodles, and building reservoirs......
Doing things in a mess, it's obvious that he is a person who is willing to do things, not a person who messes around.
Soon the emperor read the report, which did not say how Wang Lanling borrowed the money.
"Are there any other reports?"
Jiang Kedi said: "I haven't seen it yet, this month should be the only one." ”
The emperor was a little angry, and at this time, the eunuch next to him said in a timely manner: "Holy Lord, Wang Lanling sent a document yesterday, and it is still in the archives." ”
"Bring it!" The emperor also realized that he had said that he didn't need to look at Wang Lanling's report anymore, and nodded at this time.
Soon the eunuch went to get something that the emperor didn't need to see, and handed over the report written by Wang Lanling to the emperor to the person who should have been.
The emperor took a look at it and was not interested.
I still have to pay it back......
He was most afraid of paying back the money.
