"You don't need to send people from the imperial court, don't you even want to do it for this Jing Guifei herself." Seeing that his plan had failed, the squire of the Ministry of Works couldn't help but blurt out a retort.

"There are obviously ready-made people but they can't see it, I don't think Master Shangshu is old enough to get to this point."

Bai Jingyin took a few steps forward and looked at Ling Xiang:

"I heard that the responsibility of suppressing the mob this time has been given to the hussar general, in the end, the tiger father has no dog son, with the two Lord Ling here, my Daqi can be regarded as worry-free." She paused, "I just don't know, why did the prime minister produce a mob, do you have any opinions?" ”

"Since the concubine has asked, Weichen should express his opinion a little."

Ling Xiang arched his hand, looking very humble, but in fact, he meant something:

"The people take food as their heaven, and the heavens are angry and bring disasters, disturbing the livelihood of the people, so that the fields are completely destroyed and displaced. If you don't have enough to eat, and many of you starve to death, but no one cares about it, you will naturally feel resentful, and you will be exhausted, and you will inevitably have an accident. ”

"What the prime minister said is exactly that the reason for the riots is, in the final analysis, that the people are in turmoil. In my opinion, the plan for the present is to renew hope to this outcastic mob, so as to put an end to it once again, otherwise we will become 'tyrants' if we only rely on force to suppress it. ”

"Hopefully." Ling Xiang disagreed, "What the people hope for is their livelihood, and Niangniang herself knows that disasters are irreversible, so how to give them." ”

"There are many ways to survive, and this road is temporarily impassable, so it's better to change it."

Bai Jingyin put away the Kanyu map and asked Father-in-law Fu to go back.

"It takes manpower to build the sluices, and after the disaster, there were many more displaced people. Rather than let these people live in grief all day long, it is better for the government to gather them together and give them work for relief. These people are busy with things and have an income to support their lives, and they naturally have hope to live. ”

Bai Jingyin swallowed, moistened his throat, and continued:

"As for the ones that already exist, I still think that the method of appeasement is more appropriate than the use of force. If the local officials do not act to the extent that the disaster is serious, they should be rewarded and punished even if they are killed, and this is also a warning to other magistrates, so that they dare not ignore the people. At the same time, the imperial court can also make up for the losses of each family after the reconstruction work is completed, so that who can still commit a riot, and if there are still those who insist on rioting, I am afraid that their intentions will also be intriguing. At that time, it is reasonable to severely punish and suppress it. ”

When he said this, Bai Jingyin looked at Ling Xiang and raised his eyebrows lightly, as if he was demonstrating to him again.

Ling Xiang's face was indifferent, looking straight ahead, but the hands holding each other couldn't help but tighten.

"In this way, the hussar general is a lot easier, and he should thank you."

Yuan Ruiming didn't want to give Ling Yugui this opportunity, Bai Jingyin said that Zhao'an was indeed in line with his wishes, and it also made Ling Yugui's wish to see the majesty of the big tree in the people come to naught.

Ling Xiang couldn't wait to dismantle Bai Jingyin on the spot,

But for this kind of 'pulling hatred', Bai Jingyin himself enjoys it very much.

“

We gather all the displaced people in need, and the young and middle-aged people are laborers, and they can work as much as they can in exchange for 'labor service points', and then these points can be exchanged for corresponding disaster relief materials; as for those who have no labor force, such as the old, weak, women and children, they can directly enjoy the food and clothing sent by the imperial court to provide relief. ”

Bai Jingyin suddenly felt that if this development continued, she was about to bring the collective economic system to ancient times.

"But now is the time when the old grain is close to the new grain and the new grain has not yet come out, and the food stored in the imperial court is really not much, and opening a warehouse for disaster relief can only solve the temporary difficulty. It would be okay if there were fewer people in the affected areas, but the number of people visiting the affected areas this time, the amount of food distributed through work and the impermanent distribution of food was too large, and I am afraid that it would be difficult to cope with it. ”

Tobe Shangshu stepped forward and said, with a bitter face, very optimistic about the situation.

"Then what if you set aside the money to buy rice and grain?"

"Niangniang is really not at home, I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are." Ling Xiang found another point where he could attack Bai Jingyin, so naturally he would not let it go, and stroked his beard and said: "It is purchased by the imperial court, does Niang Niang know what the consequences will only be." Judging from previous years, the imperial court bought grain on a large scale, the supply exceeded demand, the merchants were cunning and profit-seeking, and they would definitely hoard goods and not take the opportunity to raise prices. Moreover, land and water transportation also need money, and the transportation expenses alone are only a lot of money. ”

Although Ling Xiang came to provoke trouble,

But Bai Jingyin also had to admit that what he said seemed to be the truth, and it was also something she had to consider.

"Is there a way to punish profiteers and avoid high transportation costs...... Bai Jingyin pondered, not only muttering.

These words fell into Ling Xiang's ears, and he snorted coldly with disdain,

"Such unrealistic fantasies, I'm afraid they will only exist in dreams."

Seeing that Bai Jingyin didn't immediately refute this time, Ling Xiang was very proud when she finally had no choice.

"What is the prime minister's opinion?"

Yuan Ruiming opened his mouth and asked rhetorically.

Ling Xiang stepped forward and bowed his hand slightly,

"Although Weichen is not as smart and ingenious as Niangniang, but he also saved some rice and grain in the suburbs of Beijing for emergencies, and he is willing to contribute all the flood for the victims, in addition, I also hope that your colleagues can contribute their own strength, and this minister is here to take the lead in donating 10,000 taels of silver for disaster relief."

"Wan Liang—"

"I actually donated so much at once."

The courtiers discussed and calculated in their hearts, Ling Xiang took the lead, and if he didn't donate, he would appear stingy and incompetent, and how much he could donate was another question.

"In the end, it is the prime minister of my great enlightenment, selfless, worried about the country and the people." What Yuan Ruiming said is not salty or light, and it has a deep meaning.

10,000 taels seems to be a lot, but how much of it is directly or indirectly looted from the people's fat and people's ointment, only he, the 'big rat', knows. Moreover, there is a private appropriation of water conservancy funds in the past, just like he discussed with Bai Jingyin, he will definitely take advantage of this disaster to make another profit, and it seems that he has made up his mind about donations.

"Wechen is also willing to do his best for the people and donate 1,000 taels of silver."

"The minister is also willing

Donate one thousand taels. ”

"The old minister is willing to donate 300 stone of rice and grain, plus 2,000 taels of silver."

The voices of donations come and go, it seems to have become a contest between faces, there are very few people who really come from the heart, and what they care more about is whether to leave a good impression on the emperor for the country and the people, and whether they can go smoothly in their future career promotion.

If it is said that the merchant pursues profit,

These officials who 'help the world' are not like this.

It's a pity that I made a wedding dress for others, and in the end, it was cheaper Ling Xiang, Bai Jingyin sneered in his heart.
