Jiangsu and Zhejiang are a stone's throw away from Jinling, and a scene that happened in Muzhou was introduced to the capital in a blink of an eye. For a time, there was a lot of discussion about the Muzhou break. The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and the Imperial Historical Tower, the recitals and articles of impeachment of Li Guang flew to the Xuande Pavilion like snowflakes, and this kind of impeachment against the governor of a province was not qualified to be deliberated by the cabinet.

And some of Lu Chuan's things in it were ignored by everyone.

Xiao Jiasui is temporarily in charge of the cabinet's affairs, which can be described as authoritative, but what the cabinet can do in this matter is to thoroughly investigate the origin of the matter. He wouldn't hide anything for Li Guang.

As for King Chen, is he in Muzhou? That's a matter for the Security Division.

Xiao Jiasui and Li Guang only nodded in friendship. The latter's rise and fall was meaningless to him, and the matter was a little sensitive, so he didn't dare to hide anything for Li Guang.

When he entered the Xuande Pavilion, he saw that Zhao Mingcheng, Jiang Jing and other cabinet ministers were already inside, so he only nodded and said to Lu Qian: "Your Majesty, Li Guang and Lu Ren's self-defense has been submitted, and I respectfully ask for the Holy Judgment." ”

By this time, it was almost August, and the rain that had lasted for several months in the south was coming to an end, and the water level of the rivers had fallen.

"There are a lot of things this summer, and people can't live in peace. I originally wanted to go out to patrol the north in June, but now I don't know when I will push it back. "Heavy rain has fallen in the whole south for several months, and the most serious disaster is in the Yangtze River basin. It's not that there is a suspicion of slapping Lu Qian in the face, and this matter can't be sent to the cabinet. "I won't read the excerpt for self-identification, you tell me first, what does it say?"

What can the two of them say, just tell the truth one by one. Lu Qian has already seen the secret twists and turns of the Security Division, and even Lu Chuan's twists and turns, to be honest, Li Guang and Lu Ren are both excusable.

You must know that the flood only divides the Anjiang River, and Li Guang and Lu Ren decided to dig the embankment, but they took a big risk. If the Anjiang River is flooded and Shenquan Town is not saved, wouldn't the responsibility be greater?

During this period, all the magistrates in the south where there was a breach of the levee were dismissed from their posts and punished, and even more people were implicated.

Li Guang and Lu Renneng made the decision to divide the flood under pressure, at least the two of them still have something to bear.

The "investigation report" between the Security Department and Lu Chuan is very clear, and there is no anger left in Lu Qian's heart after reading it, but this matter is related to his face, and the personnel involved should be punished or punished. "Merit is merit, transgression is transgression, meritorious merit should be rewarded, and meritorious merit should be punished. I will leave this matter to the Cabinet. ”

It was very simple to kick the ball, and none of the ministers present had a second word.

Lu Qian got up and paced to the window as he spoke, looked at the clear sky outside, and muttered, "I'm in a hurry to go to Saibei." "The big five-year rally is not to be missed.

Emperor Lu conquered Saibei, and the army of Lu Qi swept through the grasslands, and the Khitans, Zhufu, and Mongols all surrendered. But how can this surrender be ensured to be permanent? The Li Tang Dynasty at the time of its prosperity conquered the Saibei grassland, but in the Li Tang Dynasty, how long did the fighting between the Central Plains and Saibei stop?

Only the complete sinicization of the Saibei grassland can be done!

Lu Qian wants to sinicize the entire Saibei, which is a very long process, and the autumn hunt once every five years is an important relief. This is not only a good opportunity to contact the feelings of all parties, but also a good opportunity for Emperor Lu to have an in-depth understanding of the various departments in the north.

While contributing to the central government's management of the grassland tribes in the south, north, and west of the desert, this is also an opportunity for Lu Qian to listen to the leaders of the tribes come to complain.

Solving their problems and having detailed face-to-face discussions is always more thorough and effective than writing and exchanging papers.

It will allow him to have a deeper and more thorough understanding of all aspects of the situation of the steppe tribes.

Xiao Jiasui and other ministers of the imperial court all knew that unless it was a great change, the meeting once every five years would never be broken.

"The rain has stopped in various parts of the southern country, and the water situation of the large and small rivers has eased; There is also an autumn rain in the north, why should the Central Plains be worried? The minister thought that His Majesty could lead people to Yanjing. "After the water situation in northern Hubei has eased, Xu Guanzhong has already returned to Jinling, and he doesn't have to worry about no one sitting in the center.

Time passed in an uproar, and Lu Qian saw that Tianneng received a prayer from the local government asking for tax exemption and exemption, and the treasury also allocated a lot of money and materials. Even because of the financial shortage, there are already proposals to issue government bonds.

Bonds have been played with at the Jockey Club for many years, and 'treasury bonds' are not unfamiliar to cabinet officials, and the issuance of treasury bonds has been mentioned ten years ago. The previous few mentions were gone, because the imperial court really didn't have difficulties to that point, but now......

A major flood in the south and a severe drought in the north will require the construction of water conservancy facilities in the northern and southern provinces, such as reservoirs and dams. It all takes money, lots and lots of money!

In the midst of the noise and shouting, the time entered August. After a few autumn rains, in the Mid-Autumn Festival, while the osmanthus flowers are fragrant, the fallen leaves have fallen in Jinling City.

The military department made several folds in a row and asked about this year's autumn hunt.

Should I go to "Autumn Hunting"?

That's the way to go, of course!

Can't you just stop doing it just because it's dragged on? As for the disaster situation of drought in the north and floods in the south, a few months can not be underestimated, and the statistics of the northern and southern provinces have been summed up in Jinling, and the people affected by the disaster have risen in a straight line like rockets. The aftermath is more like a cow's hair, but it's the cabinet that is busier.

Did this catastrophe that was launched by the north and the south at the same time have any impact on the Lu Qi Dynasty? Naturally, there is, but it can't move Lu Qi's foundation.

In a major drought and a major flood, the number of people affected by the disaster in the northern and southern provinces has easily reached several million, and the reduction of grain crop output in various localities and even the failure of the harvest are a foregone conclusion. However, the Lu Qi Dynasty has been in charge of the world for 20 years, and the people are not more than a year old?

Therefore, the Central Plains can't be messed up.

There will be no scenes of starvation all over the wilderness, cannibalism, countless homeless people, and white bones everywhere.

The prestige of the Qi army was of no use in the face of natural disasters. It's like a piece of tissue paper, and the tiger skin is pierced with a slight stab. However, the aftermath of the Lu Qi Dynasty made this catastrophe that arose in both the north and the south dissipate invisibly.

The state treasury suffered heavy losses, and the relief expenses of the victims in various places, combined with the impact of taxes and autumn grain production, caused the state financial losses to be at least 20 million silver dollars. But no matter how big the loss is, Lu Qichao will have to hold it all.

"This year, there have been many disasters in the provinces. I don't want to see the people suffer from natural disasters everywhere at the same time. "There are too many hands and feet that can be done in disaster relief, and there are too many things to do, and those people, and the guys who did not act in the disaster, all deserve to die!

"Virtue is only good governance, and government is to support the people. It is impossible to regenerate under natural disasters**. It is better for the state to spend more gold and silver than for the people to be hungry and displaced. This wish should also be the wish of the court's important ministers. ”

is about to go to the Northland, and Lu Qian wants to leave a clear attitude towards these things at home.

"Today, I give you these words, so you must keep them in mind."

"Ministers are taught." A cadre of ministers said in unison.

Lu Qian has been traveling for more than 20 years, and he has been doing the country for 20 years, and the drought and flood are by no means this year. But this year's disaster is definitely the most affected, from the south to the north of the design of more than a dozen provinces.

The autumn grain output in various provinces has been greatly reduced, and there has been no harvest in many places. The tide of displaced people, a grain of sparks, and the land that corrupts several provinces in the blink of an eye are all idle.

However, in the current Lu Qi Dynasty, the changes in grain prices in the market rarely exceeded 30%, and the grain prices in various places soon fell again. It can be said that the current Lu Qi is really qualitatively different from the previous dynasties and dynasties in the past.

"There is money and food in the treasury. Local official warehouses and granaries can all be used if necessary. The prefectures and counties of the provinces that have suffered disasters are exempt from taxation and exempt from taxation when they should be exempted. "This is a matter of money, food and financial resources.

"The ministers obey."

"Tax cuts, tax exemptions, bereavement pensions, relief, loans, and resettlement of displaced people involve a lot of strategies, money and food, and the Yushitai and local public security and law enforcement agencies, as well as the Security Department, have all widened their eyes. Look at who dares to stretch out his hand, and he will not be spared. ”

After everyone retreated, Lu Qian turned back to the inner study and plunged into the sea of books. The inside is no longer a secret story about the disaster situation from all over the world, but the information about the tribes in the north of the country that has been accumulated for a while.

Being an emperor is both easy and not easy.

Lu Qian has his own grand plans, so the path he chooses is not easy, although many of them are not done by themselves, but they must have a 'know'. However, how many incidents will happen every day for hundreds of millions of people across the country? There are so many ministers in the court, how many flies and dogs will be born in a day?

Just this simple 'knowing' already exhausted him.
