Chapter 5 The strong palm of the oars swings against the current
Compared to the situation encountered by Xiaobei, the weather in the capital is obviously much better, only the light snow that drifted for an hour and a half yesterday afternoon, and fell to the ground and melted directly.
Today's court meeting was originally planned to be arranged in the Xuanzheng Palace, Hanyuan Hall is too big, and there is nothing to cover when the wind blows. It's just that the Xuanzheng Hall is laying a geothermal system, yes, geothermal.
To be precise, it is a disc pipe, with a layer of floor tiles on top, which costs a lot, and Li Longji pays for it himself, and the progress of the project is estimated to be at least one month, coiling pipes, building tiles, and doing waterproofing.
If the results are good, the next step is to dig ditches in the spring of the whole capital, lay gas pipes, cables, heating pipes, and increase and expand the water distribution system.
As for fiber optic cables, well, it's a beautiful dream.
Li Longji didn't want to be extravagant, since he renovated the palace, he was already relatively simple. When I used to have no money, I always wanted to make my life more comfortable, and I fought with my ministers just for the surplus financial income, including how to use the internal funds.
When he found that he had an inexhaustible amount of money, Li Longji was reluctant to demolish and build a certain hall, and then demolish it. The meal is as simple as only three or four dishes per meal, and occasionally wraps a vegan dumpling.
The surprise spending was due to the recent domestic economy that had troubled him, and he had to prepare in advance with specific solutions...... Let's discuss it in the court.
So today there is still a meeting in the Hanyuan Palace, and there is also a heater here, which is a radiator made a few years ago.
When the time came, the ministers lined up with empty stomachs, and no one secretly carried food anymore, but waited for the scattered court to eat the meals provided by the palace.
Everyone found a place that belonged to their own grade and stood up, Li Longji looked at the morning scene all the way and walked over, this thing was swaying very much, according to him, it was dizzy, the ministers were surprised first, and then said that whether others believed it or not, they believed it.
They came in the first batch of gasoline engine cars in Datang, which were much stronger than sedan chairs and horse-drawn carriages in terms of shock absorption, and the speed was even faster, and the bumps of the diesel engine were not light.
Li Longji sat down first, Gao Lishi set the microphone, and tried the microphone, 'hey, hey' twice, the sound quality was good, and then stepped aside.
"I'll sit down." Li Longji raised his hand to signal.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone turned around and sat down behind the table, took out their notebooks and pens, and prepared to record the content of the meeting.
Li Longji also took a notebook, turned a page to take a look, looked at the face of Wang Hui, the head of the household department, and said, "Let's talk about domestic economic issues today, Wang Qing." ”
Wang Hui moved the microphone in front of him, muttered slightly, and said: "The data summarized last month shows that the price of goods in most parts of the country has dropped significantly recently, and the price of weaving good third-class silk was 140 wen per horse in mid-June, and it was reduced to 132 wen last month; In June, the average live pig in Henan Province was 6.5 per catty, which dropped to 5.8 last month; Su Zhu, the average price in June was 915 wen per party, 876 wen last month, and so on. ”
Wang Hui paused, the ministers were silent, their expressions were different, and he continued: "Except for salt, the prices of other commodities have fallen, that is, with less money, you can buy more things, and the people's lives are better, hehe!" ”
He laughed, others didn't, because it wasn't a joke.
For a while, there was silence in the hall. After half a minute, Li Longji spoke: "This is the thing, the situation is the case, and the Qing and others know that the development of the economy has always been to control the speed of inflation, that is, the rate of currency depreciation. Now there is no need to worry about this, the currency is appreciating, are you happy? I and Zhuqing are really powerful, and the people have bought cheap things. ”
No one below is happy, if it were thirty years ago, some people might be stupid to think that this is a good thing, a great merit, counting forward, no dynasty has ever achieved such an achievement.
However, the current courtiers have learned a lot of political and economic knowledge, and whether the growth of the consumer price index is positive or negative, it will inevitably reflect the correctness and error of domestic macroeconomic and microeconomic regulation and control, and whether it is the same as its purpose and result is particularly important.
The purchasing power of a unit of currency is equally important, whether it is more or less.
What the ministers are looking forward to is not the current negative increase in monetary inflation, which is not in line with the current law of economic development, and the savings and borrowing interest rates of Datang Money Bank are not negative.
So what's the problem? Datang's currency issuance is less? Is the interest rate on Treasury bonds high? Has people's consumption concept changed? Or is there really an oversupply?
Yuan Qianyao coughed, reminded everyone that he wanted to speak, held the microphone in his hand, and said: "I think that it is the investment in science and technology that has increased the output of the original basic raw materials, so the processing cost and sales cost have been reduced, but the labor cost has not changed, so such data has appeared." ”
"I don't think so." Yu Wenrong accosted very impolitely, and said: "Chen thinks that the investment in science and technology has always been correct, especially in the cultivation of grain and oil plants and livestock, the previous food consumption was large, and now the consumption is small, it cannot be said that the population of the people of my Datang Dynasty has decreased, but when people take in nutrients for their bodies, they have more ways to choose."
The processing cost is not low, there are labor cost factors, the more advanced the technology, the higher the labor cost paid; Correspondingly, the cost of sales has not decreased, and sales must have advertising, and its cost has been on the rise, as can be seen from the profitability of various newspapers.
So what is the reason why the data for the first two months does not match my and my expectations? It remains to be studied, Your Majesty, the minister is finished. ”
Yuan Qianyao glared angrily and secretly scolded his mother, what did you say? You analyzed a large chase, which remains to be studied? What people want to know is why and what to do.
Yu Wenrong avoided his gaze and said embarrassedly: "Don't look at me like this, I'll be shy." ”
"Hahaha......" Li Longji laughed.
The other courtiers also couldn't help laughing, and even Zhang Zhong, who was usually not smiling, also curled up the corners of his mouth.
Everyone is very happy, no one is worried about the situation of this data, the so-called melancholy means that they can't think of a way, but they are not panicked, because there are still two people who are qualified to go to the court but because of Zhang Zhong's existence, they are not in the court and are taking children in the capital.
If you really can't think of a way, you can only trouble other couples. The problem is very serious, the sorrow is generated by himself, but it has not yet reached the point of exhaustion, I believe that those two people speak out, and everything will return to safety.
"Don't do that, okay? I'm still young, and I'm probably sleeping, so do I have to call my parents? Be careful to run to your house and cry. Li Longji said with a smile.
The people below laughed again, the early dynasty is a very happy thing, as long as it is not a disaster and a dead person in a certain place, everyone comes to the court with a happy mood.
Anyway, if the problem can be solved, it will be solved directly, and if it can't be solved, it will be pushed directly to Xiaobao and Juan Juan, and then follow the study, who will let the two of them always look calm and light no matter what situation they face! It seems that any problem is not a problem for them.
"Yongcheng, come on, don't tell me that you don't go to see your grandson on weekdays, let alone just look at your grandson and don't ask questions." Li Longji looked at Zhang Zhong and said.
Zhang Zhong has always adhered to the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, and when he heard the voice, he immediately stood up and replied respectfully: "Yes, the minister, about the domestic economic ......."
"Let's explain." Li Longji interrupted Zhang Zhong's words.
Zhang Zhong's serious face immediately turned into a happy look, and he changed from the cold, strict face of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu to the face of a kind grandfather, glanced at Li Longji gratefully, and replied: "The little guy can already sit up, and occasionally he can climb a few steps, and he rarely cries, even if he cries, the time is short, generally he urinates and is hungry, and the daily crying adds up to less than a quarter of an hour."
I like to laugh, I see everyone laughing, I can play for a long time when I catch a toy, I babble in my mouth, I don't know what I'm talking about, Xiaobao and Juan Juan have also become children, a small ball can actually accompany Ming Ming's bones for half an hour, and crawl everywhere with him, there is no bed at home, the floor, the carpet on it, are crawling, and the minister also crawled over to talk to Ming Ming last night, and his leg hurts. ”
"Hahahaha......" Li Longji laughed again, very cheerful.
Jiang Cen of Sinong Temple immediately took the opportunity to speak: "Yongcheng, my little granddaughter is four months older than Ming Ming, and she climbs better, why don't you send her over to play together?" My granddaughter is virtuous, dignified and generous, graceful, and suitable for IKEA, and when she grows up, she must be a good person, and she will be able to grow up. ”
"Ahem! Jiang Qing, the court is on the agenda, and there is no need to talk about homely things. Li Longji interrupted Jiang Cen's words and told him not to talk about family affairs, everyone went to court, and said: "Although Pan'er is older, however, his age is not suitable for many people; Those who are young do not ......."
"Your Majesty, I have something to say about the recent increase in currency." It was Li Linfu who came out at this moment, after he said this, he immediately looked at Zhang Zhong and said: "Brother Yongcheng, you and I have known each other for nearly ten years. The clothes are not as good as new, and the people are not as good as the old. Brother Yongcheng, we know each other, my little girl ......"
"Zhang Shangshu, let's talk about economic matters first." Wang Hui interjected with a cold face, shook the notebook in his hand, and said to Zhang Zhong: "After work, I hope to bring my family to the house to discuss money and other matters, and state affairs are important." ”
When the ministers and Li Longji secretly scolded Wang Hui for being shameless, Zhang Zhong finally had time to speak.
"Chen, Rong Chen think about it, it was a mess just now, and he forgot what to say for a while." Zhang Zhong was speechless, how old is his grandson, and he actually started to be booked by others.
After thinking about it for a few seconds, Zhang Zhong regained his train of thought and said: "The technology released by the Ministry of Industry and Sinong Temple has always been a basic industrial technology, to put it bluntly, it is a technology to improve agricultural output and preliminary processing, and face the people's livelihood.
As a result, the production of grain increased, and the initial processing efficiency of the handicraft industry increased, and this year, when the results were manifested, the influence of the Ministry of Industry and Sinong Temple was encountered, so that a seemingly short-lived cost decline was created. ”
"I have thought of this, but since it is a decline, the volume of trade will inevitably increase, so why not increase taxes?" Li Longji asked.
"Tax revenues have increased, but now they have not entered the statistical period, and they will not be seen until the end of the year. The reason for not increasing is that the local government has pressed taxes for several months, and the profits obtained are used by the local government. ”
Zhang Zhong replied, which means that there is only a land tax, no one supervises it, and people collect the money and wait for the end of the year to report it, so that the money can be used for other purposes in the next few months, and the profits obtained become additional local income.
When Zhang Zhong said this, he didn't have any idea of attacking the local yamen, the yamen had a lot of money, and it was an extra income, which seemed very dangerous, but in fact there was no big problem. In many places, the yamen will publicize this part of the money.
The people can see and know that there is a part of the extra income in the yamen, and this part of the money is not under the control of the imperial court and can be used freely, so it will inevitably be spent in the future and let the people intervene and explain the use.
As for hiding from the people and then being greedy for himself, Zhang Zhong really doesn't believe it, if you do that, the cost and benefit are not proportional, it is not as much as the reward that officials get after their term of office expires, and once they are found, they will have nothing, including their lives.
Li Longji bowed his head, he is also very satisfied with the current rule of officials, the investigation is strict, the reporting system has been improving, the cost of dereliction of duty is too high, and the officials are not willing to take risks, it is not cost-effective.
But he still has a question: "In this case, why don't merchants take advantage of low prices to hoard and artificially inflate prices?" ”
"They don't dare." Zhang Zhong said four words proudly.
The ministers know the truth that Zhang Zhong said, the price can fluctuate, but the hoarding and harm the market, the result is definitely bankrupt, and it is okay to make a small fuss, once the scale is formed, Zhang Xiaobao will inevitably make a move, but how to make money if the scale is not formed?
It doesn't matter if you talk about the bottom line, or if you talk about the red line, anyway, whoever crosses and who dies, you earn the money you should make, and if it is too much, it will not work. Of course, except for luxury goods, if you sell luxury goods to sky-high prices, Zhang Xiaobao should not have seen it.
"Hmm~!" Li Longji responded.
Zhang Zhong continued: "From the minister's side, we can only continue to release some technologies, finishing technologies, so that basic products can form more grading, thereby raising some prices, and the rest is a matter for the cultural, sports and education departments." ”
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Education is separated from the six ministries, and the functions of the Ministry of Rites partially overlap, but they are affected by it but not under its jurisdiction, and the functions are naturally three major aspects of culture, sports, and education, and there are more subdivisions.
It is independent, and it is related to other departments, the education of the people's livelihood to the Ministry of Rites as the priority, the officials also belong to the Ministry of Officials management, the construction site is controlled by the Ministry of Industry, there are economic and administrative problems, Dali Temple and the Imperial History Terrace are not mistaken, if the large-scale sports competition, need to coordinate with the Ministry of War, the money will inevitably not be able to bypass the household department.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Education is under the management of Zhang Jiuling, he has changed many departments, and finally volunteered to come here, he has a part-time job in Zhongshu Province, otherwise there will be less central departments, and the power will be relatively small.
When he heard Zhang Zhong mention him, he picked up the pen and said, "Please ask Zhang Shangshu for advice." ”
"I don't dare to give advice, the price of products has fallen, to put it bluntly, it is caused by the large application of raw material production technology, and the people's consumption purpose is too strong, and they only buy things that they usually use.
We can't say that we don't let the people use technology to produce in large quantities, in fact, as long as we leave it alone, after the first half of the year or so, prices will naturally rise, the market will self-regulate, the price of basic commodities is low, and the unit processing labor cost of other reprocessing industries remains unchanged.
It will make people in the planting, breeding, and textile industries work very hard, and as a result, their income is the same as before, or even declines, while the income of other industries has increased. ”
Zhang Zhong flipped through the book, and there were dense small characters on it, which he learned from his son and daughter-in-law in his daily life. In the past, he thought that he would study hard and one day learn all about his son's family.
The result is that the more you learn, the more complicated it becomes, the formulas are set by one, and the theories are one by one, even so, the son and daughter-in-law always say that their knowledge is too shallow, and many of them do not understand.
Zhang Zhong could only sigh that the skills of the two people were as deep as the sea, and they were also modest.
Now the book has a record of the situation that will occur, and as soon as he paused, someone hurriedly cooperated: "Which three?" ”
"First, the smarter people immediately make the switch, grow other crops, raise other livestock, or move towards finishing; Second, the people don't know what else they should do, and he has been used to planting what he planned before, and he is not making money, but he is still holding on; Third, the family needs money, but there is no money yet, seeing that the more things are planted and raised, the more they will lose. So ......"
Zhang Zhong stopped at this point.
Li Longji said above: "So we can't let prices rise naturally, the law of the free trade market can regulate the economy, but it can't save lives." We can't just look at the data to deal with the problem, otherwise what's the use of you and me? ”
"What should the minister do?" Zhang Jiuling is still holding a pen and remembering.
"In the name of the imperial court, increase the number and content of winter sports competitions, increase the prize money of the competition, and increase the number of winners." Zhang Zhong said.
Then he said: "Xiaobao is ready to lower the interest rate on savings, and I ask Your Majesty and you to pass this resolution, so that you can artificially intervene in the purchasing power of money." The Ministry of Industry and the Si Nong Temple will release a part of the product finishing technology free of charge, and at the same time the money bank will provide an interest-free three-year loan related to these technologies, and the interest rate of the money bank's reserve will remain unchanged for the time being, so as to control the merchant's annexation behavior and prevent them from taking advantage of this opportunity to expand the scale of their private property. ”
The ministers, including Li Longji, were all writing and drawing with their heads bowed, calculating whether the situation when the various measures were carried out was in line with expectations.
After a while, everyone stopped writing one after another.
"Anything else?" Li Longji asked.
"Yes, I wrote articles in various newspapers and magazines, writing stories about the preciousness of life, and even fictional plots, so that the people can cherish their current life and not commit suicide, especially to write about the welfare of Datang, and compare it with the previous ones, depicting a better future. The court has benefits to follow, you can eat without money, you can afford to raise children, and you can cure diseases. ”
Zhang Zhong said and spoke, and began to reminisce, recalling the years before his son Xiaobao, it was really bitter, and the life of the head of the family was not easy, let alone the villagers.
Then with his son Xiaobao, everything began to change, not only changed his own family, but also changed the world of Datang.
Many courtiers followed the memories when they heard about various benefits, including Li Longji.
Some people smile in their memories, with a trace of self-confidence, a trace of pride, and a sense of achievement.
They even thought, what Li Kui, Wu Qi, Shang Ying, Guan Zhong, Sang Hongyang, at that time, you were powerful, you have the ability to try it in the current Datang? Your little political and economic means are really too weak.
Do you know what the relations of production are formed by the contradiction and unity between the private economy and the public economy? Do you understand the interaction between monetary regulation and GDP? Do you know what the industrial system ultimately does?
I know, very simple question, I even know how to achieve commodity plunder in the process of currency exchange in international trade, what is the value of surrendering without a fight? I can make the people I am bullying financially continue to beg me to bully them.
But even so, I still have to be cautious, walk on thin ice, and dare not be lacking. Because I am in Datang now, I know very well that my ability is not enough to control the current domestic economic situation of Datang, it is too complicated.
I can't just look at the data to administer, I must first understand the psychology of the people of all strata, and what I am thinking about now is not whether the treasury money is enough, but how to spend this part of the money well, so that the people's living standards can improve as a whole.
People like you think it's very powerful to make some money for the treasury, but in my opinion, it's really sad, is it difficult to put money into the treasury? It's not difficult, and if I don't count too much of the actual national situation, I can fill the treasury.
But this is not my purpose, I can't be so selfish, for me, the difficulty is how to make the people of Datang feel warm on a cold day, how the elderly can take care of their days, and ...... A child's smiling face.
What politicians, economists, military strategists, and writers all stand aside for me, and with me here, it's your turn to speak?
However, even if I am like this, I am just one of the many beings standing in the court, and the ones I will will have are the basic qualities that all the officials who come to the Hanyuan Hall today must have.
I'm so ordinary, but I'm proud, I'm proud of my Datang, if you're still here, my Datang can sweep all your countries within a year, just because I'm so ordinary in Datang who is stronger than you. What's it called? Oh, the heritage.
The courtiers had their own ideas, and Li Longji also thought bitterly after some memories, and then looked at the ministers below and said, "Zhuqing, you still have to study hard." Yongcheng, is there anything else? ”
Zhang Zhong nodded: "Yes, but it's not for this matter, it's after the spring of next year, Xiaobao and Juan Juan plan to build a large number of buildings, which is expected to cost 100 million yuan." ”
"How much?" Li Longji, who has always been calm, couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise, and the faces of others changed and changed.
"100 million guan, 100 billion wen, my family out of 10 million, Your Majesty, you out of 10 million, the treasury out of 20 million, Datang Qianzhuang out of 10 million, the remaining 50 million, Xiaobao and Juan Juan are responsible for raising, but it's not my family, my family can't come up with so much cash, oh, Xiaobei They may come out with a million yuan, this is not counted in it, let them out, if they want to come out.
There is also a group set up by our officials, to come up with 1 million, the recent financial data is good, the New Year dividends, first set aside 1 million. ”
Zhang Zhong listed it indifferently, and the units were all counted in tens of thousands.
Wang Hui's face was not very good-looking, he couldn't help coughing twice, and said: "Brother Yongcheng, the group has a million yuan, as an individual, I have no objection." However, with such a large amount of money used, why didn't my household department get the slightest news? ”
"Because, the news was released today and now." Zhang Zhong was calm.
"Your Majesty." Wang Hui was sad and indignant.
Li Longji frowned, a pencil brushed around in his hand, and he didn't land for more than 20 circles, and suddenly he spoke: "Zhang Qing, I want to talk about you." ”
Wang Hui was happy, and the corners of his mouth turned up.
"I know that you always think that Xiaobao and Juan Juan have great ability, but no matter how big the ability is, it is difficult to raise 50 million yuan, and next year's budget for the welfare departments such as medical care, education, pension, and reemployment should be made first, and if there is still a surplus in the treasury, you can increase investment.
In addition, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty that I saw in front of my eyes, in the past, the welfare was good, the wealth was not expensive, and the family property was not lacking, if there is a balance in the group's accounts, why not use it for the people and the country? Money will depreciate if it is placed there, and money that does not depreciate is as discussed today, which is worrying. ”
Li Longji said earnestly.
So countless resentful eyes converged on Wang Hui, Wang Hui found that he was innocent and cold, and he didn't know if the heat fan with dual functions of humidification and heating that Zhang and Wang promised to send after the dispersal of the dynasty today would be returned to his home.
"Your Majesty, the minister impeached Zhang Zhong for major matters concerning the country without first consulting with the Zhongshu Order." Yu Wenrong's voice sounded.
"The minister seconded the proposal." Su Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said to cooperate.
Yuan Qianyao followed: "The minister thinks it's the same." ”
"The ministers seconded the proposal." Another group of people were impeached at the same time, even including Xiao Song, the secretary of the Ministry of War.
"The minister also impeached the Bohai Governor's Mansion to make Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan stay in the capital for a long time, and they don't have anything to do, I am afraid that they have other hearts." Some officials from the Imperial Historical Observatory took advantage of this matter to point the finger elsewhere.
"Oh? So I want to know, where do you want to impeach the two of them? Li Longji asked.
"The minister doesn't know, the minister only impeaches." The person replied.
"Well, I know." Li Longji praised.
"The minister impeached Zhang Xiaobei, Wang Xiaoyuan and others for acting wantonly, and they were afraid of heresy." Another Yushitai was not willing to be lonely, and when he saw others impeached, he followed suit.
It's just that after he finished speaking, he found that the situation didn't seem right, why was the emperor unhappy, it was no problem for his colleagues to impeach Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan before.
Then he looked at Yuan Qianyao and Yu Wenrong, the two of them were from Chinese books, and saw the two of them glaring at him, and he suddenly realized that he had played the wrong person.
Before impeaching Zhang Zhong, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, he knew that it was because everyone had a tacit understanding, and every time the dynasty would inevitably find something wrong with their family, it was not that the Zhang and Wang families really had problems, but a kind of protection.
Once a courtier does not have any colleagues to oppose it, it is not good, so everyone is looking for some problems, it is estimated that this time they are excited to choose the wrong person, adults can impeach, and the things that should be sent will be sent to the home, impeachment of Xiaobei...... A bit excessive, isn't it?
Thinking like this, this person was very anxious and sweating profusely.
Gao Lishi couldn't help it, so he had to prompt: "You said that Xiaobei and they are running around, what is wrong with such a small child?" ”
"Ah yes, what they did was wrong, Your Majesty, everyone, do you think, Xiaobei they are so small, running far away all day long, how worrying, they don't want to think about it, what should they do when they are tired? What should I do if it's cold? It's just too wanton. "This man is in a hurry.
"How did that come about?" Li Longji asked.
"Inevitably, Your Majesty, you think, they're out there, are we worried? If you are worried, you will not be able to do things well, and if you do not do good things, let the people suspect, what is not heresy? After saying that, the man let out a long breath, and after a while, sweat had soaked through his clothes.
Li Longji bowed: "Hmm~!" It makes sense, Qing worked hard. ”
"It's the duty of a minister." The man hurriedly responded.
There was a blank period of more than ten seconds of sound in the court, and just as Li Longji asked about the government, Jiang Cen of Sinong Temple saw that no one spoke, opened the notebook, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, according to the statistics in the temple, the foreign crops such as tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, and sweet potatoes in my court have reached the number of plants spread throughout the country, and the minister proposes that corn should be ...... by administrative order."
"The Emperor, Your Majesty, Yinzhou Urgent, Yinzhou Urgent......"
Before Jiang Cen could finish speaking, a high-decibel shout came from the gate in the distance of the Hanyuan Palace, and Luo Bin rode a mountain bike on a wide wheel.
The ministers didn't pay attention to the bicycle, but Luo Bin's shouting, what happened to Yinzhou?
A few seconds later, Luo Bin stopped a balance wheel, threw the car, came to the bottom of the official's table, first poured two mouthfuls of people's water, and then grabbed the microphone, and said: "Your Majesty, Yinzhou Daily, heavy snow, overwhelming, half a day's waist, day and night, far county and village, ....... huh, far county and village for the name of the light, more than 1,500 mouths, all ...... Call...... All ......"
Li Longji only felt that his heart was beating faster and his whole body was weak, and the courtiers were also solemn.
In the past, when Datang's technology was not advanced and there were no benefits such as medical care and education, the life and death of 1,500 people did not matter to them at all.
What day will no one die? In which year did fewer people die from the disaster? Don't say fifteen hundred, fifteen thousand people will die if they die. Hundreds of thousands of people were displaced when they fled the disaster, and the few who died on the road have long been accustomed to it.
But now it is different, there will not be a drought in which hundreds of thousands of people will not be able to eat and flee, let alone be able to eat easily, as long as the people are still there, other problems are not a problem at all.
But suddenly, there was a place where there were 1,500 people, and the snow was waist-deep for half a day, and it rained for a day and a night, and it didn't stop, and the man ......
"Bastard!" Li Longji slapped the table and stood up, looking angrily.
Luo Bin hurriedly gasped twice: "Your Majesty, forgive your sins, calm your anger, more than 1,500 mouths, all of them are trapped in thick snow, however, I sent a call to ten people to inspect last night, urgently sent troops, and collected them." ”
"You ......," Li Longji gritted his teeth and pointed at Luo Bin.
"The villain should be damned, he ran in a hurry, and His Majesty was angry." Luo Bin grabbed the microphone and knelt there, not daring to look up.
Li Longji sat down slowly, thought for a while, and said, "What did Jiang Qing say about corn administration?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, because the people in many places are accustomed to planting a certain crop and are not very familiar with the new crop, they are not accepted, and the minister thinks that an administrative order should be issued to force local planting."
Jiang Cen glanced at Luo Bin, as if he hadn't seen it, and replied according to the emperor's words.
"Do you have to make an executive order? I thought that there could be other methods, such as newspapers, saying that Xiaobao and Juan supported the cultivation of corn. Li Longji expressed his considerations.
"Dashan, please also ask Your Majesty to inform the two of them." Jiang Cen was waiting for this sentence, it was not good for him to go to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to discuss, and ask others to come forward.
Li Longji bowed his head, and suddenly said: "Speaking of this corn, I have built a cold storage for Zhuqing this year, and I have stored a lot of mature ears before harvesting. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The ministers no longer need to rehearse, and they thank each other very tacitly.
As for Luo Bin, no one paid attention to it for the time being, and it seemed that he had forgotten the news just now.
"Villain...... Do villains have it too? Luo Bin was about to ask what to do in the affected area, but the moment he said his words changed.
"No, go and care about Xiaobao and Juanjuan, and then talk in one breath, go down." Li Longji glared at Luo Bin indignantly and said.
Luo Bin hurriedly said: "Yes, the villain retired." ”
When he left, Li Longji pondered, looked at the sky, and said to the ministers: "This year's snow is not small, and the preparations that should be made must not fall." ”
"Yes." The ministers responded in unison.
Regarding the matter of Kaiguang County, everyone didn't mention it, and it was clear that Xiaobei and their team belonged to the first few in all the armies of the Tang Dynasty.
Usually, it feels like the Royal Forbidden Army and Jin Wuwei are the first in combat effectiveness, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's team is second, and Xiaobei is third.
But the ministers themselves knew in their hearts that the first was Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's, and Xiaobei was the second, and the members of the team needed to go to the border around Datang to kill the enemy, and some had to follow the fleet out, and then they could be qualified.
Moreover, including Li Longji, everyone knows how high the technology level of Xiaobei and their team is, and the most advanced technology in China must be used first by their side.
It is a comprehensive team, and there is no shortage of talents in all aspects. If they want, they can pull the team to find a place to form a country directly.
Departments such as education, medical care, military and military, finance, diplomacy, and scientific research will be able to support it immediately.
With such a combat effectiveness team relieving disasters over there, if it still doesn't work, he and others can't think of a way in the court, can they really continue to dispatch Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's seedling protection team? Even if it is dispatched, it will not be too late in time.
Li Longji also thought the same, but he still couldn't help but worry about Xiaobei and them in his heart, so the agenda of the court meeting passed quickly, and everyone stopped continuing to impeach, and if there was something to say, the bill was decided immediately.
Seeing that the early dynasty was about to disperse, suddenly Luo Bin ran back and shouted: "Your Majesty, in the area under the jurisdiction of the Bohai Governor's Mansion, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's deputy envoy asked to see him outside the palace. ”
When Li Longji heard this, his eyes straightened, and he couldn't help but think of what Xiaobei had said, 'What kind of trouble is this?' ’
The civil and military officials were stunned, and then went to see Zhang Zhong, who was confused.
******
When Zhang Zhong was confused, Xiaobei and the others were at a loss.
When I woke up early in the morning, the snow around me was piled high again, and from time to time someone pushed the snow into the distance. The naturally falling snow was enough to reach the heads of the little shellfish, and the piles that were blown up by the wind were even more than three meters long.
The camp has always been manned to clear the snow, and when it is piled up, it is pushed far away by makeshift sleds, and it is not afraid to pile it up nearby, for fear that the wind will blow and bury the tent.
What made Xiaobei and them dazed was not how big the snow was, but what they were going to do to let the children who had rested until noon and then get up to be called up by the adults of Kaiguang County.
Many of the children opened their eyes as dazed as Becky and the others, and only after recalling them did they realize that they were in the camp, not at home.
Judging by the ruddy faces of the children, we can tell that they slept soundly last night, and from the way they rubbed their eyes, we can tell that they have not slept enough.
Under the gaze of Xiaobei and them, the adults in the county began to take out the two tablets, find a high place to stabilize them, then burn incense, and then take the children to kneel, saying all kinds of good things in their mouths.
After about two minutes, Sun Mao raised his head and shouted: "Ancestors and ancestors, I will be in the dark." Present the heavens and the earth to comfort the lawsuit. There are people in the Tang Dynasty today, and they must not die in vain. Little treasure juan, eternal life. ”
The other county citizens who could speak shouted in unison: "My heart and I wish to do the heavenly proclamation, and the little treasure cuckoo will enter immortality." ”
There are little dolls who can't speak, and they also call 'babbling'.
Xiaobei They are so dazed, they feel a kind of solemnity, a solemnity, a kind of piety from the people in the county, except for the doll who is not sensible, no one acts at will, and even the doll is shouting the words that only he knows what they mean, and they have never cried.
Xu Yilong opened his mouth slightly, he finally felt the power of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan in Datang today, which was more direct than when they got married before. When is this? When the people fled the disaster, they did not forget that every household brought the tablet of longevity, and the first thing to do when they got up early in the morning was to make incense.
No wonder the families and clans, including their own family, all bowed their heads after knowing that they had been calculated by Zhang Xiaobao, and the land that the family had accumulated before was gone, endure; In the past, only people in the family could learn knowledge, and the fact that ordinary people rarely had the opportunity to go to school was broken, forbearance; After exchanging it, I found that the conditions of the wagon are no longer so monopolistic, endure.
Sure enough, they are all smart people, so what if they can't bear it? Whoever speaks up will die! The little treasure of our family and our juanjuan in the mouth of the people only need to climb high and shout......
Xu Yilong shuddered, not daring to think about it anymore.
When more than 1,500 people got up, Xiaobei and others came over.
Xiaobei rubbed her hands nervously: "You guys...... You guys...... Oh, let's eat, let's have breakfast, this morning there is two rice porridge, soy milk, soup and tofu brain, as well as buns, fritters, pies, steamed buns, fried cakes, there are many side dishes, dozens of kinds, everyone wash their hands and eat. ”
Xiaobei originally wanted to be modest and modest, and said something, but after thinking about it, people didn't give her the immortal tablet, she couldn't speak, so she had to introduce breakfast.
Xiao Yuanba stood beside him with an indescribable expression on his face, just like the people of Kaiguang County, who felt the peace and warmth in their hearts after encountering the seedling team when they found that the heavy snow had fallen, they saw that the people in the county were praying to their brothers and sisters early in the morning, and their hearts were also warm.
After doing what they needed to do every morning, the people of Kaiguang County began to enjoy the breakfast provided by the seedling protection team with peace of mind and calmness.
They have never regarded the seedling team as outsiders, and it is impossible for them to pretend to be embarrassed.
The nursing child and the pregnant woman also made their own requests, such as asking for some fruit after the main meal, and canned fruit if there was no fresh fruit, so that the child's nutrition could keep up.
They don't feel that they are excessive, and they don't think that this kind of request should not be, Datang belongs to everyone, the children belong to Datang, and they can contribute to Datang when the children grow up healthily.
"Becky, you know what? I slept so peacefully last night, it's been two months, I have nightmares every night, it didn't work to put scissors under my pillow, and yesterday it was fine. ”
During the meal, a six-year-old girl was holding a big bun and talking to Xiaobei with a happy smile.
Xiaobei is holding a bowl of egg paste, also called water and eggs, feeding it to a two-year-old boy, blowing twice, tasting the temperature and then stuffing it into the boy's mouth, no way, this boy has laughed since he saw Xiaobei, let Xiaobei hug, and rely on Xiaobei to eat.
Hearing the girl speak, Xiaobei temporarily stopped the movements in her hand and said, "Me too, I slept very well yesterday, thanks to bringing you out, or I can't sleep well, I have to worry." Oh, baby, don't grab pickles, eat too much and be thirsty, it's time to feel uncomfortable, come and eat marinade, there is saltiness in the marinade. ”
Today's breakfast is indeed very rich, just to show off to the people of Kaiguang County, or to put it another way, because I am afraid that the people in the county will be very provocative.
The boy who was held by Xiaobei was very obedient, let him eat whatever he wanted, laugh when he took a bite, and laugh at everyone he saw.
At this time, Sun Mao simply arranged the people in the county, walked over with steamed buns in one hand and salted duck eggs in the other, and said to Xiaobei and the others with a grateful face.
"The sky has eyes, ......"
"Don't, Sun County Order, we never believe in the sky, we only believe that if the court does not give up on the people, the people will not betray the Tang Dynasty." Xiaobei hurriedly changed his expression and spoke very deeply.
"Sister Xiaobei, why are you different from just now?" A girl asked curiously.
"Because your county order is an official, of course you have to speak official language, I am not wearing an official uniform, otherwise I will say, the court has not forgotten you, the people in other places in the Tang Dynasty are worried about you, although the snow is cold and warm, this is the victory of our unity, this is the victory of our people."
Xiaobei changed her expression again, more solemn and kind.
The children in the county all looked at Xiaobei stupidly, wondering why the same thing was said in different terms, and the difference was so big.
The little girl who asked before asked tentatively, "Sister Xiaobei, is there anything else to say?" ”
Xiaobei nodded: "Yes, for example, the official newspaper of the Tang Dynasty, the title should be written as 'Strong soldiers transit, a piece of tranquility', the wind and snow are ruthless, people are affectionate, who says that the warm place is frozen and cold." ”
"It's so fun, Sister Xiaobei, you're right, we are really not afraid of the strong army crossing the border, even if the snow is still falling and the clouds are still drifting......"
"Still floating? Where are you going? Come. Xiaobei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly called someone.
"There are already people in full gear, it was difficult to judge the terrain last night, and a team of five hundred people was ready to set off just now, heading to the next place that may be hit by snow." A maid came to report closely.
Xiaobei blinked: "On this day, the snow is falling in one place, what are you running back and forth?" Isn't it difficult to go to the rescue again? ”
"It is difficult, such as facing the water flowing east and forcing the oars to go west."
"That is, against the current?" Becky asked.
Others acquiesce.
"Yes, equip our most advanced things, this code name, against the current." Little Bean raised his head and said.
