Chapter 223: Disaster Relief

"Your Majesty! This is a document on the situation in the disaster area played by Qin Cha Li Biao, please take a look at it! Cao Huachun said. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After dinner, Chongzhen asked Bi Ziyan to go back to rest, and he was about to go out to walk away, when he heard Cao Huachun say this, he took it and said: "It's really time!" ”

"Your Majesty! Why don't you see it later? Cao Huachun bowed.

"Forget it! Not bad for a while! I also want to know about the specific situation in this disaster area! After speaking, he smiled and opened Li Biao's recital, and soon, Cao Huachun noticed that the smile on Chongzhen's face quickly disappeared, replaced by a haze on his face, and the strength of the hand holding the document gradually strengthened, and Cao Huachun could see the bulging blood vessels in his hand.

"Your Majesty......" Cao Huachun called softly, but Chongzhen at this time could not respond to him.

At this time, his mind was filled with an ocean of Ze country, full of trees and collapsed houses destroyed by floods and strong winds, his people groaning and crying in pain in the water, and at the same time the surging flood roared and tore through the fragile levees, roaring and rushing towards those who were still struggling, and soon, the sound disappeared, and the whole world was only the sound of the flood raging, and the countless corpses floating on the water.

Even in this hot weather, their thin bodies could not withstand the ravages of the storm and hunger, and from time to time some people fell in the storm......

After a long time, Chongzhen put down the paperwork and said with a calm face: "Go and summon Bi Ziyan, the prince, and the four Aiqing of the cabinet!" ”

"The old slave obeys!" Cao Huachun understood that he should not talk too much at this time, and hurriedly took the order.

Watching Cao Huachun leave, Chongzhen leaned on the dragon chair and closed his eyes, leaning on the dragon chair and thinking about what he had just done, in the future society, Chongzhen is just a small P people, and when he saw where such a disaster happened on the Internet, he expressed deep sympathy for it at most, and then he was silent for a few minutes, now it is different, he is the emperor of this empire, and the people who suffer from the disaster are his people and not have nothing to do with him, of course, it can also be said to have nothing to do with it, but Chongzhen does not want to be a cold-blooded emperor, He hopes that all the people who live in this land can live happily and not repeat the tragic mistakes of history.

"Green Dragon!" Chongzhen happened suddenly.

"What is Your Majesty's will?" A dark shadow appeared behind Chongzhen.

"This time the disaster in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is serious, and the silver allocated by the imperial court does not seem to be completely used for disaster relief, you let Suzaku send someone to investigate! When the time comes, cooperate with ZTE! If there is someone who is secretly obstructing, you don't have to keep your hands, and you will be killed directly! Chongzhen said coldly.

"Humble Command!" The dark shadow said respectfully.

"That's right! Is there any news from Suzaku right now? Chongzhen said.

"Not yet! It should be soon! The Shadow said.

"Suzaku is a weak woman, let her pay more attention to safety!" Chongzhen commanded.

"Your Majesty, rest assured! There is a white tiger by her side to protect her, and her skills are not low! The Shadow said.

"That's good! There you go! Chongzhen waved his hand.

"Humble command!" After that, Chongzhen's back fell silent.

Not long after Qinglong left, Cao Huachun led a few people summoned by Chongzhen in, "Long live my emperor!" Banzai! Hooray! The crowd saluted respectfully.

"All flat! Throne! Chongzhen raised his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone got up respectfully, and then everyone sat down one after another according to their official positions, and finally looked at Chongzhen together, I don't know why Chongzhen suddenly summoned them, but looking at Chongzhen's face, they also knew that it was not a good thing.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chongzhen didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "I suddenly summoned you Aiqing because I just received Li Aiqing's note, and I was very sad after reading this note, as for why you Aiqing should also think about it!" ”

After listening to it, it turned out that it was because of the disaster, and they nodded one after another, they had heard of the damage caused by this disaster, especially Wang Chengen, he had also read the information from Zhongxingwei, and was about to report it to Chongzhen after sorting it out, but he didn't expect Li Biao's performance to arrive first.

"Princess! I think Zhongxingwei also has intelligence, right? Let's talk about it! Chongzhen named Wang Chengen.

"Yes! Your Majesty! The old slave is about to report to His Majesty, in addition to Jiaxing, Shaoxing, Shanyin, Huiji, Xiaoshan, Shangyu, Yuyao and other areas in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, as well as Huzhou in northern Zhejiang, Wenzhou and other areas in southern Zhejiang, there are floods, especially in Huzhou, where tens of thousands of people were drowned, and the loss of property was incalculable. ”

"Why is the disaster so severe?" Chongzhen frowned.

"Back to Your Majesty, from the intelligence point of view, the reasons for this disaster are as follows: first: the recent rainfall in the south has been frequent, and the rainfall is much heavier than before, resulting in a sharp rise in the water volume of various rivers and lakes; Second, it is naturally affected by hurricanes, and the rain is naturally more powerful by the wind; Third; The jungle in the affected areas has been drastically reduced, and the entire mountains in many areas are bare, and the rain has washed directly from the mountains to the cities, counties, and villages, and there are mud and rocks, which has increased the degree of damage; Fourth, the riverbed is silted up and the flood discharge capacity is reduced; Fifth, the accumulation of sediment and sediment around the lake has led to the shrinkage of the lake and weakened the function of regulating and storing flood peaks. The sum of these five points caused the severity of this disaster. ”

"Not bad! The intelligence is very meticulous! It's the same as what Li Aiqing said! Chongzhen nodded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Chengen said.

"What else is there?" Chongzhen asked.

Wang Chengen looked at the ministers present, and then said: "Also, according to Zhongxingwei's investigation, more than half of the one million taels of silver allocated by the imperial court this time have been embezzled by officials at all levels, and less than one percent of the silver has reached the hands of the people, and the same is true for the food for disaster relief, the detailed evidence and list Zhongxingwei is collecting, Your Majesty, please give the old slave a little more time, I believe that the old slave will be sorted out soon!" ”

After hearing this, Chongzhen frowned and nodded: "This disaster is so serious, this corruption is still like this, I am really disappointed, Zhongxingwei must do his best to investigate, no matter who it is, it will not be tolerated!" ”

"The old slave obeys!" Wang Chengen said.

Then Chongzhen looked at the other ministers and said, "This is Li Aiqing's recital!" The five of you take turns looking at it and then talk about what you think. ”

As soon as Chongzhen finished speaking, Cao Huachun took the note in Chongzhen's hand, and then handed it to Sun Chengzong, and then everyone took turns to look at it, and it didn't take long for this note to be handed back through Cao Huachun, and then Sun Chengzong said: "Your Majesty! Weichen thinks Li Biao's suggestion is very good! The repair of rivers and reservoirs, the clearing of rivers, the return of lakes to farmland, and the corresponding afforestation are all very targeted measures! There is also allowing the victims to participate in the reconstruction and disaster relief of the disaster area, which can reduce the pressure on the imperial court, second, it can also bring benefits to the disaster victims, and thirdly, the imperial court can also gain the hearts of the people. ”

The three or four of them nodded one after another, expressing their approval of Shoufu's words, in fact, they have nothing to say, Li Biao has said what should be said, this person is also the person they recommended at the beginning, Li Biao did not disappoint them, and they naturally have to recognize his achievements in front of the emperor.

Chongzhen looked at Sun Chengzong and said, "The teacher thinks it is appropriate to carry out military reform in Jiangsu and Zhejiang now?" ”

Sun Chengzong shook his head after hearing this and said, "It's not appropriate at this time!" ”

"In that case! How to transfer the reserves, it is impossible to transfer them from the Beijing Division, far water cannot quench the thirst of the near, in this case, what advice does the teacher have? Chongzhen said.

"Why does Your Majesty think you should send troops for disaster relief?" Sun Chengzong asked rhetorically.

"Why? Didn't you all feel good just now? Chongzhen was stunned.

"Your Majesty! This Li Biao also said that the dispatch of troops for disaster relief can exercise the army's ability, and the army in the south has not been in actual combat for a long time, and the previous battles are all small battles, and they cannot be exercised at all; This can enhance the relationship between the army and the people, which is beneficial to the country and the people! Wechen suggested that the troops be transferred directly from the south, and the Ministry of War would send a document to the Ministry of War in Nanjing for deployment, and the leader of the army, Wechen, also thought about it, just that Shi Kefa, the performance last time was still good! Sun Chengzong said.

"Weichen seconded!" The other four went straight to the point.

"So be it! After a while, the military department will directly issue an order! That's right! The main duty of the army this time is to carry out disaster relief, there must be no disturbance to the people, if there is disobedience, it will not be spared, and take this opportunity to see the ability of these armies of mine, and the soldiers who can't do it will be eliminated directly to the reserves! Let's do it together! Chongzhen said.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Several people said at the same time.

"In addition, Bi Aiqing! The household department will send another million taels to disaster relief! Directly sent by the household department, ZTE Wei is responsible for transportation! Directly sent to the Zhejiang region, the use of the silver was directly carried out by the household officials, and Zhongxingwei was responsible for supervision! Chongzhen commanded.

"Weichen Command!" Bi Ziyan received the order.

"I read the report and know that the household is short of money now, and I will ask Cao Huachun to transfer one million to you in a while!" Chongzhen Road.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Bi Zi bowed to the truth.
