Chapter 15 Court-Raising Donations

The palace is quiet and terrible, the poem shouted by Fuquan is magnificent and majestic, but it also makes people emotional, he shouts out sadly, and the poem fully depicts the horror of the flood, which makes people can't help but substitute for the scene, so as to be fascinated.

"The sorrow of Konghou is not returned, the sorrow of Konghou is not returned......" Fuquan read for a long time, Liu Hong woke up, but his mouth kept repeating this sentence, there seemed to be mist in his eyes, and he didn't seem to have come back to his senses, and then he looked at Fuquan before he praised: "Wonderful, wonderful, although the genre is new, but the poetry is very good, it is really good." ”

Fu Quan arched his hand and said: "Uncle is wonderful, the little nephew doesn't dare to be." ”

The emperor spoke, and Zhang Rang and Fu Wan, who were present, dared to reply, and they couldn't help but admire, after all, as long as people with a little knowledge can feel the scene inside from this poem.

Just kidding, this is a poem by the poet immortal Li Bai, full of chivalrous courage and fairy wind bones, can it be bad?

"This poem is excellent, how can there be a way to live under the water? I have ordered Guangluxun and Dasi Nong to allocate money and grain for disaster relief, and the people of Luoyang should be able to survive this disaster year. ”

Zhang Rang happened to smile at this time: "Your Majesty is merciful, and the people will be grateful if they get money and food!" ”

Fuquan was stunned when he heard this, the family had already extended their hands to the affected people, could they have a way to survive this year? Didn't the emperor know?

When he saw that Liu Hong's face did not seem to be fake, he thought about it in his heart, this emperor ascended the throne at a young age, and he was better than the hands of the women and eunuchs in the deep palace, what he could know should only be what the palace eunuchs and women wanted him to know, and what he didn't know was only when the court was openly discussing politics and the court, he would automatically choose something that could let him know before telling him.

It's just that this time the land of the people of Luoyang was forcibly seized, most of them were from the Luoyang family, and even Elliang, a giant businessman in Xuzhou, went to see the land, and wanted to come to the palace The eunuch women also participated in it, and the rumor did not reach the ears of the emperor. Do you think that no matter whether the court is in China or abroad, will anyone speak out about this?

After thinking about it carefully, Fu Quan said: "Uncle Qiqi, although the imperial court provides disaster relief, the living give grain, and the dead give money, which is enough for him to barely survive, but under the big water, the people's residences are destroyed, and they still need to be repaired, and the death and burial of relatives in the family all need money and food, which is not a small number, and the court's money and valley relief are all imitating the precedent of the previous dynasty. ”

"The son of Hugh is arrogant, how can you talk about major national affairs like you, the yellow-headed child, the treasury is empty, Your Majesty has a benevolent heart to gather the needs of disaster relief, how can there be any money to reward?" Before the emperor could reply, Zhang Rang beside him was anxious, and their eunuch group had been eyeing the land outside the city for a long time.

I didn't think that the young man of the Fu family would mention this stubble to the emperor at this time, if the emperor gave more money and grain, so that the people would no longer sell their land, their plan would not be in vain, and he said angrily.

Liu Honggang listened to Fu Quan's words, his face changed slightly, and he just thought that he would save more and reward some money and food to the victims. Later, after listening to Zhang Rang's words, his heart changed, Guy recently he also wanted to repair some palaces, and it was not enough to give money and food to the victims, but now he donated again, which really made him feel distressed.

Later, Fu Quan shot back: "Zhang Changshi's words are different, Emperor Gao and the three chapters of the civil covenant law, to Emperor Wen's bold 'change of law', 'Ti Ying to save his father', but also to abolish corporal punishment and abolish 'slander and evil words', why is it inappropriate for the kid to talk about the disaster?" Yu Gong, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, there are clouds in the Book of Songs, and under the world, it is not the king's land; This means that the world is His Majesty's world, and the affairs of the world are also His Majesty's affairs, so the Son of Heaven has no selfish affairs, and the people of the world can talk about it; In private, the Son of Heaven is my family, my fourth ancestor Chen Gongshang Gaoping Princess, my uncle Wan Gongshang Emperor eldest daughter Yang An Chang Princess, my mother Song and the queen are of the same clan, relatives talk about family affairs, it is ordinary, dare to ask the regular servant, why can't the kid talk about disaster relief? ”

"Shaft! You, you ......" Zhang Rang's face flushed, he didn't expect Fuquan to be so sharp-toothed, and he didn't know how to argue for a while.

At this time, Liu Hong felt that the situation in the palace was not right, although what Fu Quan said made him very happy, but he still said sharply: "Shut up, you have to be presumptuous in the palace." ”

Zhang Rang was startled, and hurriedly saluted to admit his mistake, and so did Fuquan. With just this move, Liu Hong saved the face of his henchman eunuch, and taught a small lesson to Fuquan, who seemed to know the height of the sky, and gradually cultivated the emperor's mental skills.

Liu Hong then said to Fu Quan: "What you said is true, but the treasury is empty, and there is no more money to relieve it for a while." In addition, I have been exempted from land rent, and the people should be able to live. "The field rent is the field tax collected, and the grass and straw are the famous cities in the Han Dynasty, referring to the hay and straw, and the grass tax is a strategic resource for the government's financial revenue in the Han Dynasty, because the collected grass is eventually used as fodder for war horses.

Fu Quan's mind changed sharply when he heard this, Liu Hong was right, the treasury really had no money, and he could only rely on tax exemption to help the people.

Or that the emperor doesn't have much money left in his hands, and the eunuchs and the queen mother have money in their hands, after all, he has not been in power for a long time, and many of the money from selling officials has gone into other people's private pockets.

In history, although most of Liu Hong's money from selling officials went into the West Garden, he would still take it out when the country needed it. I think this is also the reason why he loves money so much, on the one hand, it is due to his early life, and on the other hand, he really entered the palace and became an emperor, how can he do it without money?

But soon, thinking about the future generations, an idea appeared in Fu Quan's mind, and he only heard him say: "Uncle Qiqi, the treasury has no money, and it is not impossible to provide relief. ”

"If the Shanze Garden Pond is opened, the effect of this method is limited, and I am afraid it will not be enough for the people of Luoyang to live for long." The opening of the mountain garden pond is the opening of the royal gardens and mountains, forests and rivers by the state, and the people are allowed to hunt by themselves.

"What my uncle said is very true, when the first emperor, Taiwei Chen Gong had written about the misfortune of "three emptiness", so there are not too many wild things to hunt in Shanze Yuanchi, and relief and loans can not solve this dilemma, my law is to work for disaster relief. "Three emptiness, refers to the field is empty, the court is empty, the warehouse is empty, the relief is the court to reward the disaster victims with money and grain, the living to give food, the dead to pay, the loan is similar to the loan of later generations, the state allocates materials, lends cattle and grain to the people, so that their production can save themselves.

"Disaster relief through work? You are wrong, I don't want to do this, but I have already said that the treasury has no money, how can I use labor? Wang Mang Shihuan Tan put forward the idea that the government would provide money and food to the victims, provide them with food and clothing, and make them repair the river water for disaster relief.

"I have a law, so that it can be solved without the court spending a penny."

Liu Hong was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What is the law?" Hurry up. ”

"Donating Nar, Your Majesty has no money, but all the princes in the court are from big families, and one person pays hundreds of thousands, so why worry about the money for disaster relief and river control?"

"Guild donations?"

"No, but if it is rumored that His Majesty has taken the lead in donating money to support the victims, but none of the princes in the court have donated, dare to ask Your Majesty, what should the princes do?"

Liu Hong's eyes were shining, and he blurted out: "Donate!" ”

Sankong source: Yanxi six years, Emperor Huan's car drove Xingguangcheng school hunting, Chen Fan said on the advice: "The minister heard that the king has something to do in the garden, only in the western suburbs of mid-autumn, talk about martial arts in time, kill birds and help sacrifices, and pay homage to Dun, if or violate this, it is wanton, and in today's world, there is a doom of 'three emptiness'!" The fields are empty, the court is empty, and the warehouses are empty, which is called the 'three emptiness'. The increase in troops and the dispersion of the Quartet are the time when His Majesty is anxious and ruined, and when he sits and waits, it is not advisable to raise the flag and show off his martial arts, and he will look at the horses! It rained before autumn, and the people began to plant wheat. Now is the time to lose its persuasion, and to order the battle to drive away the birds, it is not the intention of the sages to show compassion for the people. "The book can't be played.
