Chapter 1009: Disaster Relief Ambassador
The main hall suddenly became in an uproar, because there was an eight-hundred-mile urgent twist and turn from Heyang County, and there was a flood disaster written in Heyang County's order, and the entire Heyang County was submerged.
The flood was relentless, the farmhouses, the farms, and the trees were soaked, countless dead and injured people, and the refugees rose sharply, waiting for rescue like the country of Bailize.
At this moment, the courtiers were shaken, and even Luo Zhaoyun himself was a little shocked, this was no longer the original script.
Emergencies and even greater floods require greater rescue forces, money, food, manpower, and so on, which are by no means insignificant.
In the second year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, all kinds of ruins are waiting to be rebuilt, the war in the south is still unsettled, and the consumption of materials is extremely great, if there are more floods along the Yellow River, resulting in displaced people everywhere, once the disposal is not appropriate, can not be rescued in time, so that the people can live, then the disaster area is likely to trigger a new peasant uprising.
When starving to a certain extent, they will lose their minds, burn, kill and rob, and the weak will eat the strong, and there will be heroes and bandits who will take the opportunity to pull up the team and harm one side.
Luo Zhaoyun has already sensed the seriousness of the matter, and it is urgent to provide disaster relief and save people, and gather money and food!
"Your Majesty, how is the disaster?"
"It's very serious, you can see for yourselves, and circulate it." Luo Zhaoyun waved his hand and let the eunuch pass to the queue of civil officials.
The government hall and the six ministers of the three provinces watched it first, and they were surprised and shocked by the content above. The Yellow River burst its banks, flooding a lot of people, destroying fertile fields and villages, and even Heyang City was flooded, and it is likely that more than half of the people in the city were killed or injured.
Floods are often followed by plagues and famines, and the impact is even greater.
"Compared with the disaster in Heyang County, Huayin County is a small disaster."
"Yes, this is more serious, and even in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River, there will be other embankment breaking points, which need to be investigated carefully."
"It is best to issue a letter of amnesty from all localities to warn the banks of the Yellow River, Huaishui and other major rivers to pay attention to river flood disasters."
The ministers talked a lot, and what they showed was a look of righteousness and awe-inspiring and worried about the country and the people.
These ministers are human beings, and it is impossible for them to say something inappropriate at this juncture, adding fuel to the fire and touching the anger of the people.
Wei Zheng blurted out: "No matter whether it is a big or small disaster, the imperial court must not be lazy, and it should formulate disaster relief measures as soon as possible, send people to the disaster area of the Yellow River breach, and preside over the local disaster relief mission." ”
Luo Zhaoyun is still, he has calmed down, calculated several possibilities, and also had some worst-case plans, how to deal with the disaster, appease the people in the disaster, and not cause large-scale deaths, plague and flu, and so on.
"Whether it is Huayin County or Heyang County, the way of handling is similar, and the measures of Gao Shangshu for disaster relief are also useful to Heyang County, first of all, we must appoint a minister to go to Heyang County to preside over the overall situation, which is related to the life and death of thousands of people, and affects the stability of the society, and the responsibility is not insignificant."
Luo Zhaoyun was halfway through his words, paused, glanced at the ministers, and finally stopped at the eldest grandson Wuji, for ordinary people, although they trust the ability, but the relationship is not as iron as the eldest grandson Wuji, after all, when they were young with each other, they already had a relationship, plus the relationship between the eldest grandson and the queen, it is more reassuring to use this person.
"Eldest grandson Wuji, as a household servant, you are more familiar with the transportation of money and grain, the conversion of expenses, etc., and the official products are also suitable, I will be appointed as your minister, go to Hanoi County, be responsible for the east of the river, the disaster relief ambassador on both sides of the Yellow River, and be fully responsible for the relief of the victims and the repair of the river, are you willing to take it?"
"Eat the king's fortune, share the worries for the king, the minister is the same as the political affairs hall, and as the household servant, the profit of the society, the minister bows to the end, and the personal gains and losses are not hesitated!"
Luo Zhaoyun nodded and said: "With your words, I can rest assured, this time I go to the disaster area, I can transfer a few people to help, after all, the disaster area is vast, and people need to take care of it everywhere, just dispatch it alone, you don't have to do everything by yourself, and you don't have a clue." ”
The eldest grandson Wuji's heart moved, understanding that this was an opportunity for His Majesty to give him a chance to promote people, he sighed and said: "After listening to Your Majesty's words, the minister has an epiphany, and plans to formulate a few people as the minister's deputy or coordination to handle the disaster relief in Hedong and Hebei. ”
"Oh, there's something going on, you can make it clear in the lobby, and I can assign it to you on the spot."
The two of them sang and harmonized, and skillfully operated the situation well, and they could promote some practical talents to deal with this important matter.
"Tuntian Division member of the Ministry of Industry, Wailang Dai Guan, palace attendant Zhang Xingcheng, right prison guard Sima Wei Shishi, Dushuitai army Jia Runfu ......"
The eldest grandson Wuji said five or six names in a row, all of them were officials of four or five grades, in addition to having a good relationship with him, the most important thing is that these people are talented, with ordinary backgrounds, at most they are born as local squires, or a family of declining officials, unlike the real lords and nobles, they have not been taken seriously, and it is suitable to deal with this matter with him.
After Luo Zhaoyun listened, he nodded with a light smile, feeling that the eldest grandson Wuji was still very good, and he got off the donkey down the slope and facilitated this matter.
"Yu Neishi, you come to draft an amnesty for me, the county towns along the Yellow River will be exempted from paying taxes, and the affected areas will be exempted from taxes for three years, so that the people can rest assured, the imperial court will help them and rebuild their homes, and they will never stand idly by."
"Obey." Yu Shinan stepped forward and accepted the task.
Luo Zhaoyun turned to Gao Shilian and said: "How is the household department calculating, how many materials and money treasures are stored in the treasury in the capital now, this time here, I don't let go of the truth, and I also let the ministers know in their hearts, the current situation of our country's treasury, next, how to allocate money and grain, how to collect and fill the gaps, so that it will be carried out smoothly." ”
