Chapter 54 Drought Prevention Deployment
Yinren left the Qintian Prison and walked quickly to the Qianqing Palace. found a few eunuchs and asked them to notify the senior officials above the third rank to quickly enter the palace to discuss matters. Those eunuchs did not dare to slack off, and went down in three steps and two steps.
After a quarter of an hour, all the members put down their daily work and came to the Qianqing Palace. "The ministers have seen His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose."
Yinren didn't shout enthusiastically, so he went straight to the point. "As we entered September, it didn't rain for a few days. Can the ministries put forward this drought-fighting work? ”
As soon as Yinren's voice fell, Li De, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, stepped forward and said: "Your Highness Qiqi, according to the experience of previous years, the Ministry of Industry has begun to prepare. ”
Yinren pondered slightly for a moment before he continued: "Other matters in the hands of the Ministry of Industry will be put aside for the time being, and we will first start to solve the matter of drought resistance and drought prevention." ”
"There are still places where money and materials need to be used, make a list, one to draw up an excerpt for the orphan, and one to give to the household department."
Saying that, Yinren glanced at the household book and said: "Nowadays, the treasury is quite full, but it is not surplus. Drought-fighting silver is indispensable, but you also have to find out where and what it is used for. ”
Hubu Shangshu was a spirit, and hurriedly stepped forward to say yes. The prince is taking this opportunity to beat himself. If he is really stupid, he cheats at this juncture, and is greedy for some silver, I am afraid that the prince will not easily spare himself at that time.
Yinren explained some more things before he spoke: "Everyone present is smart people, what to say and what not to say, I think you should all know"
Saying that, Yinren asked these officials to retreat. The news of the severe drought in Beijing, Yinren is still ready to press for two days. If this news is suddenly exposed, then what you will face will no longer be a drought, and there will be turmoil in advance.
Everything has to wait for the various tasks to be ready, and the best time is to explain the drought situation in two days. If you rashly expose this news now. The people will inevitably panic, and the panic will bring turmoil.
At that time, the commoners and the nobles will inevitably clash over the problem of water sources, and the two sides with a huge disparity in strength will inevitably suffer innocent people.
In the afternoon, the drought-fighting folds handed over by the Ministry of Industry and the budget folds handed over by the Household Ministry were placed in front of Yinren. Yinren couldn't help frowning slightly when he looked at the excerpt of the Ministry of Industry's book, and the drought relief measures in previous years can be described as simple.
Yinren glanced at the fold slightly, and then said to Zhang Bao: "You personally go on a trip and call the master of the Ministry of Works, Li De." Zhang Bao got the order and hurried down.
Yinren took advantage of this effort and took out the fold handed by the Hubu Shangshu and took a look. Fortunately, the knock I just made should be of some use, and the quotations on this are reasonable. Budgets are also within the reach of the State Treasury.
After reading the two excerpts, Li De, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, arrived at the Qianqing Palace. Yinren didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Your measures to fight drought are really simple. Without waiting for Li De to answer, Yinren continued: "After you go down, you will start preparing to dig drought-resistant wells in various places. The manpower and material resources needed are directly reported to the household department. ”
Send Li De away, Yinren stayed alone in the Qianqing Palace and had a slight head, this drought is really difficult to solve. Even in modern times, the year of the great drought is not so good. What's more, at this time, there is no corresponding science and technology.
No artificial rainfall can be made, and water cannot be diverted across river basins. Everything can only rely on the water source of this one-third of an acre. After thinking about it, Yinren could only add a method to Li De's plan to build a drought-resistant well.
Drilling drought-resistant wells is actually Yinren's helpless move. Digging a well is actually a way to kill chickens and get eggs. When surface water dries up, pumping groundwater can withstand it for a while, but it can't last long.
It's just that if you don't dig drought-resistant wells, if there is really a big drought, then the people of the capital and Zhili will not be able to resist it for a while. Even if he kills chickens and takes eggs, Yinren has to do this. I can only hope that this drought can pass as soon as possible, and I will think of a way to see if I can make up for it afterwards.
It's just that this dry well is still a little particular, and Yinren doesn't know if the people in the Ministry of Industry know about it. The well still had to be drilled in a low place and at the foot of the mountain. Groundwater is abundant at the foot of the mountain, while water is easy to come out of the low-lying areas.
If the location is high, there is a good chance that the well will be a dry well. Not to mention the waste of human and financial resources, it will not have any effect. However, after receiving the plan from the Ministry of Industry, Yinren's heart was finally more steady.
I don't have much experience in this kind of thing, and the things I know are still introduced when I watched the news when I watched the local drought in my previous life. This time, after reading the plan handed over by the Ministry of Industry, Yinren had to sigh at the wisdom of the working people.
The things recorded above are basically consistent with the content of the news I used to watch by myself, and the details are extraordinarily detailed. I was so worried that I was unnecessary. It's just that the result is good.
After solving the matter here, Yinren asked Zhang Bao to grind it again and began to write an edict. Kangxi is not there, Yinren is in charge of the country, but Yinren does not have the right to issue a decree for Kangxi.
However, at this time, Yinren can write an edict, and when the time comes, it will be stamped with the prince's golden seal and the jade seal of the country, and the effect will not be worse than Kangxi's holy decree. After all, the crown prince is in charge of the country, which is equivalent to the reign of the monarch.
The first order to be issued was to exempt the capital and Zhili from taxes. Although the autumn harvest is now approaching, the drought has had little impact on the crops. But the will to exempt from taxation still has to be issued.
Not for anything else, just to appease the people. You must know that there is already a great drought, and the people are most uneasy at this time. A decree to exempt the people from paying taxes for one year can soothe the restless hearts of the people.
Another will was handed over to Suncheon Mansion Yin. After waiting for two days, I made preparations on my side, the peasants in the capital and Zhili. They need to be organized to grab it. But they could no longer water the crops. This water source still has to be prioritized to ensure the normal use of people.
After writing these two decrees and stamping them with two large seals, Yinren asked Zhang Bao to put away the two decrees first. These edicts have not yet been delivered.
The two edicts on Yinren's side were written, and the eight-hundred-mile urgent letter written by Kangxi was finally sent to the palace. Yinren looked at the content on it and groaned slightly. Yinqi married the Mongolian Gege to succeed Fujin, according to Kangxi's temperament, this kind of thing shouldn't be. Looks like something must have happened outside the plug!
