"You!"

Li Er sighed, glanced at Xue Lang, but didn't say much, turned to talk about Xue Lang's sparse play, took out the first one, and looked serious: "I want to listen carefully to Youyang's explanation, about the drought." ”

"Whoa."

Xue Lang reasoned his words in his heart and said: "In the past half a month, the minister has often wandered around the city and outside the city, and due to the drought in Guanzhong, there have been more and more displaced people near the capital. The gathering of such a large number of displaced people is a huge test of law and order and disaster relief capabilities. Drought is a long-lasting disaster, not a few days or a month can be solved, and the imperial court can not ignore the people under its rule, if it is in a short period of time, open a warehouse to release grain for disaster relief, it is okay, if the time is long, public security, food, etc., how to mobilize? Too much pressure! Moreover, this year, there is another locust plague hanging over our heads, which is even more difficult. ”

Li Er wrinkled his brows and nodded with affection: "I have been discussing this matter with the central government recently, and locust plagues and droughts are not easy. For example, the number of households today is much lower than that of Emperor Wen in the previous dynasty. Especially in Hebei, Luyu and other places, the military disasters continued, Liu Heimin made two rebellions, forcibly recruited strong and brave, and it was not a lie that ten rooms and nine emptiness. The number of households in the population is related to taxation, which is related to the social welfare of the world, and at this time, it is the right way to recuperate with the people, and we can only pay a small amount of money. But the heavens are not with me, droughts, locust plagues...... Or did it happen in Guanzhong! ”

Xiao Li was really full of sadness. Guanzhong has always been a place of grain production, with a large population, perfect and mature agricultural and water conservancy facilities. Who knew that as soon as he ascended the throne, he encountered a great drought in Guanzhong, and the drought and locust plague made it even worse.

"There must be no loss in Guanzhong!"

Xiao Li said resolutely.

Xue Lang nodded in agreement and said in a deep voice: "There really can't be any mistakes, and the most important thing is that the people's hearts can't be chaotic." It's just that in the event of a catastrophe, it is difficult to completely guarantee that nothing has happened. Therefore, the minister's method is that instead of letting them make trouble, it is better to mobilize them to do things. Anyway, it's all about disaster relief, it's better to work for relief, there is something to do, there is income, there is a rush, life is more than despair, and you don't dare to mess up if you want to come! As for those who are lazy and take the opportunity to cause chaos, the officials in various places are not decorations, and they should be dealt with strictly, severely and quickly, punished and deterred, and they will not cause a big mess! ”

Li Er looked at him with burning eyes and said, "Let's talk about this work for relief!" ”

"Whoa."

Xue Lang explained his performance in detail: "The minister recently checked in Chang'an City, and the environment is actually not very good. The minister's house is acceptable, but the environment near the homes of ordinary people and low-level officials is worrying. Seeing that it was already spring, while the weather was not very hot and there were not many insects, the minister suggested that the drainage ditch in the city be repaired. After the catastrophe, when the epidemic is prevented, this series of measures and preparations should be done in advance, if it is too late! ”

In the past, Xue Lang didn't like to ride a carriage very much, and he didn't like to ride a horse, and rarely went out, even if he went out, the curtain of the carriage was mostly closed. In fact, although Chang'an City is the capital and an important place in Gyeonggi, the road in the city is actually a dirt road. Rainy days are muddy, dry days are dusty.

In later generations, except for a very few remote mountain roads, ordinary rural and urban roads, either asphalt roads or cement roads, there were few dirt roads. Xue Lang, who grew up in modern times, is actually a little clean.

In addition, the layout of Chang'an, the ditch on the outer wall of the square is actually a sewage ditch, and domestic sewage is discharged from this ditch. It's fine in the winter, but in the summer, the smell is ...... It's ecstasy.

Near the residence of the minister of the DPRK and China, the drainage ditch is cleaned by servants, and the living environment is okay. But ordinary low-level officials and ordinary people, and even in the slums, no one does this, and they don't have that awareness.

In such a living environment, various infectious diseases naturally breed, and malaria is the first to bear the brunt. A generation of famous ministers Du Ruhui died of malaria. In this era, in the most prosperous capital Chang'an, malaria was actually a very common epidemic.

These days, I thought about the things I had seen about the drought and locust plague in Chang'an City before, and then I remembered the malaria incident. coincided with the drought and the displacement of people everywhere, so Xue Lang came up with a way to clean up the sewage ditch in Chang'an City and add a layer of cover to the sewage ditch.

“…… Mosquito bites are actually one of the main ways to spread many diseases. In the sewage ditch, there is stagnant water, mosquitoes like to lay eggs in these places, the measures suggested by the minister are very simple, add a layer of cover, can effectively prevent mosquito breeding and sewage cross-flow, reduce the outbreak of infectious diseases! ”

Xue Lang said very carefully and easily understood...... Even if he wants to talk professionally, he can't solve the problem, so he can only explain it to Xiao Li from the perspective of his own understanding.

Thanks to the locusts, he has established an image among the emperor and courtiers who know the habits of insects very well, and now he is convinced of what he said about mosquito bites that can transmit diseases-

It's quite useful to have an upright image!

And, there's a good thing about it! With Li Er's shrewdness, he can naturally think of -

Rectifying the sanitary environment of the capital is really a matter of morality! At this very time, Li Er actually needs to show his virtue and politics, otherwise, under the continuous natural disasters, he will kill his brother and seize the throne, and it is only a matter of time before he is said to be unworthy of the throne.

Xue Lang's cash-for-work plan has a whole set of plans, and for this plan, he ran to many places within half a month, and almost all over Chang'an City.

His plan was huge, first of all, to gather all the displaced people, register everyone's specialties, and then distribute personnel according to their specialties and skills. For the food directly provided for disaster relief, the imperial court gave priority to the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled.

Mobilize the forces of all the ministries of the imperial court, from the three provinces, six departments, nine temples and five prisons, down to the Imperial Medical Department, etc., all of them must take action. The imperial court can also accept private donations, and the donors are recorded in the register and engraved merit tablets. It's just that all the donated materials need to be uniformly allocated by the imperial court, and private disaster relief is not forbidden, but private disaster relief must also be subject to the dispatch of the imperial court.

Most of the measures are the processes and measures of modern disaster relief that Xue Lang learned from later generations, but some measures that are not suitable for this era have been adjusted. At this time, the advantages of ancient times appeared, at least, the official uniform had absolute power, and the effect of measures and control was better than that of modern times, and modern information was too developed, and there were advantages and disadvantages. At least, in the face of the catastrophe, all kinds of rumors flying all over the sky are things that drag them back, and they really do more harm than good.

Li Er was a decisive person, and when he understood Xue Lang's plan, he directly ordered: "Spread all the courtiers of the three provinces, six departments, nine temples and five prisons to enter the palace to discuss matters." ”

"Whoa."

The palace people rushed away.

Even if today is not a day off, it will take some time to gather officials from all departments to deliberate. Taking advantage of the efforts of the others, Li Er patted another sparse performance and said: "The sparse performance of disaster relief is accurate, and the details and assignments will be discussed in detail after the Zhongqing family enters the palace. ”
