Chapter 21 Manpower and Seedlings

"The matter of money and food is settled." Solving the headache, Zhao Hao was finally a little easier, "What about the manpower needed to strengthen Heti, do I have any ideas?" ”

"Manpower is even easier." Zhao Ming was a little skeptical that the ministers at the scene were blind. Can't such a large group of people be seen? "It's enough to use the disaster victims to work instead of revitalizing."

"Work for vibration?" Liu Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, asked, no one dared to underestimate this prince who had not yet left the cabinet.

"That's right, cash-for-work! To repair the breach, the men of the Kago River were recruited among the victims. The number of working days per day, as if the private hired short-term workers were distributing money and food, to strengthen the river is a matter closely related to the victims living near the river, and they do not have to worry about the disaster victims not having to work hard. Second, we can dispel the doubts of the victims and prevent people from stirring up trouble for no reason. Third, the money and food were distributed in the form of labor, and the victims of the disaster were relieved. The victims have food in their hands and do not panic in their hearts. It is also of great benefit to the subsequent reconstruction of the affected areas. can also pick out the lazy and lazy people, and waste money and food in vain. Zhao Ming said it in detail one by one.

"His Royal Highness is thoughtful and very quick in practical matters. Is there anything in the world that is born to know? Liu Li, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was shocked.

Relief for the victims has always been the biggest headache for his Ministry of Rites, and there is no one, and if he accidentally causes a rebellion, the Ministry of Rites will catch the biggest pot. Now that the method of the Six Princes is handled, the possibility of rebellion is greatly reduced, and the biggest problem of the Ministry of Rites is solved. Not to mention holding a handful in your hand, even if you want him to worship Liu Li as a teacher, you can discuss.

In the past, relief for the victims only thought that the victims would not die. Usually, the victims are gathered in one place to give soup porridge and clothes, and once the disaster is over, they are repatriated to their hometowns and ordered to clean up the aftermath of the disaster. Officials of origin who are already in the affected areas have become paid for food?

At the time of the disaster, they did not die, but the number of people killed and injured after the disaster was even higher, and the tragedy of Yi Zi eating was discovered. More often than not, the victims are more willing to follow the disaster relief officials and go where they can eat, and if they are forcibly repatriated, there will be a lot of rebellions against the officials, and it will take several years to restore the original state. Now, the victims have something to do and can feed their families. Even the money earned and the savings may not be able to last until the next autumn harvest!

"What His Highness Sixth said is extremely reasonable." Zhang Ya, the secretary of the Criminal Department, pointed out some deficiencies, "The strong victims can be dealt with in this way, but what about some old and weak women and children, and young children with drooping hair?" I am afraid that the strength to repair the river is insufficient, but I am rash and idle to distribute the same money and food, I am afraid that someone will stir up injustice and encourage the victims to make trouble! ”

"Women, children, old and young, can't repair the river, laundry and cooking. The strong and strong repaired the river, the lonely old collected firewood, the weak woman cooked, and the young son washed and delivered food, each with his own work, and eighty percent of the adult men were given money and food. Even if he does things slowly, or even useless work, as long as he works, he can be uniformly distributed, and ordinary people see him working together, and get less money and food than themselves. If there are still people who are not angry, they must be people with evil intentions, and they will stay to do something! Dispose of it! Zhao Ming's tone came out of nowhere, and a chill scareled the ministers.

"Then I don't know what else His Highness has to suggest for post-disaster reconstruction?" Hubu Shangshu Xiao subliminated with a little respect in his tone, and no longer regarded Zhao Ming as a child, as an important minister of the country like himself.

"The money and food that the victims carry to repair the river are not enough for the next autumn harvest, right? If the money and food distribution is too heavy, other non-disaster victims are afraid that it will be profitable and will move when they hear the news. First, even three million taels of money can't afford it. Second, manpower is too wasteful. It is detrimental to national strength. Why did Your Highness teach me? ”

"The Seedling Method is viable!"

"What is the Seedlings Method?"

"All the affected prefectures and counties may borrow cash or grain from the local government to subsidize farming before the tax is collected in the summer and autumn of each year. Ten people are one guarantee, supervising each other. Those with less than 10 people will be guaranteed by the local governor. The loan will be repaid with the summer and autumn taxes, and the interest will be paid one cent. Note two points, one of which is not to impose forced apportionment. Second, interest rates cannot be forcibly raised. Anonymous inspections by the imperial historians, and those who borrow non-human accounts will be held accountable for the three levels of the guarantor, the chief and the local officials. Those who forcibly apportioned the interest raiser will directly dismiss the official and ask for the crime and investigate the inspection of the imperial history! ”

"Great goodness!" Hubu Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Can you promote the world?" ”

"I don't know!" Zhao Ming remembered that Wang Anshi's good changes were shattered, and his stomach hurt, "You can use this disaster area as a pilot." I don't know if it can be implemented in the world. Let's see the effect! ”

"The minister is taught, His Royal Highness Xie is instructed!" Xiao Qian, as an important minister in the court, actually gave Zhao Ming a disciple salute, and Zhao Ming was so shocked that he didn't dare, and hurriedly returned the salute.

"Haha, Xiaoliu is really my family's unicorn!" Zhao Hao couldn't bear it anymore and laughed loudly, "If you still have any questions from the ministries, come one by one!" ”

"The heaven-sent talents of the Sixth Highness, the ministers are obedient!"

"Good!" Zhao Hao said three times in a row, I really didn't expect Zhao Ming's performance to be so eye-catching today, donating the knight, working for relief, and the green seedling method. He is involved in national economy, people's livelihood, politics and economy. Zhao Ming unexpectedly handled it properly.

The previous battle against the military exercise also had a unique insight into military affairs, plus a horseshoe on the fortifications. This son is so comprehensive. It's simply the prime minister who has been deposed! couldn't help but remind Zhao Hao of the exclamation of the Book of Rites: There are really people in the world who are born to know! Or is it that people in my royal family do not doubt their loyalty. God bless me Da Zhao, the omen of ZTE is here! Zhao Hao laughed out loud!

"As for the power of disaster relief coordination, the household department is fully responsible." Before Zhao Hao's voice fell, he heard a voice of opposition.

"Wait, I have an objection!" Zhao Ming hurriedly spoke up, what a good opportunity! I don't know how long I have to wait if I miss it, "In order to increase the persuasiveness of this disaster relief, Erchen thought that this disaster relief might as well be led by the royal family." To reassure the hearts of the people. My son is willing to go! ”

All the ministers were silent, and if the name of this disaster relief was not led by the imperial court, it could only be handed over to the royal family. After all, no courtier can afford to buy people's hearts and hats with ill intentions.

"Huh!" Zhao Hao seemed to smile at his own amazing son, his little abacus could escape his own eyes, "My son is very right." However, as my son said, it is more justifiable and convincing to hand over this matter to the crown prince, right? ”

Zhao Hao also nodded at Zhao Ming, looking at Zhao Ming's joke happily, "What do I think?" ”

Oh no! That's not good! The boiled duck is about to fly, and it is all for the prince to make a wedding dress? Zhao Mingcai didn't care what the prince would think when he heard it, and whether he would hold a grudge against him. It's mine, whoever comes to snatch me will chop off someone's hand, looking at my father's playful smile, looking at the meaning in that smile: Come on, I will give you a chance to convince me.

Zhao Ming gritted his teeth and said, "Father and Emperor Ming! This strategy was proposed by Erchen alone, and Erchen understood the omission best. I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't understand the severity, and I'm afraid that he will be stunned. Delay disaster relief and follow-up. ”

Zhao Hao shook his head wordlessly, meaning to say: That's it, you failed to convince me!

Zhao Ming was angry, and said in a vicious voice: "The matter of selling the lord to raise donations is just a palliative solution, which can solve temporary worries, but not for a long time!" Erchen still has a strategy, although it is not as good as selling the lord to gather wealth for a while, but fortunately, the water flows for a long time, and he does not worry about exhaustion. The profits accumulated over time far exceeded the gains from the sale! ”

"Oh?" Zhao Hao just wanted to provoke his son, but unexpectedly found that this kid really had a back hand.

Zhao Hao found that he couldn't see through his son more and more, where did he learn that he had such a great ability in money and food. Judging from the sale of the knight, this kid never lies. It must be a large amount of money to be able to say that it is more than the income from the sale of the lord!

Zhao Hao stopped Zhao Ming from continuing, he was also a little cautious, and the money and grain he got directly were placed in the household department and placed in his internal affairs office, which made people feel at ease. In the future, I will also have more means to grasp the household department.

waved his hand, and he complied with his wishes, it was not good to have such a great merit that the emperor did not say anything, "Okay, since my son is so ambitious, he is willing to share the worries of the country." Father is not good to chill your mind. Proclaim! Zhao Ming, the sixth son of the emperor, cooperated with the six departments to handle the matter of fundraising and disaster relief, and gave the six sons of the emperor tokens to enter and leave the palace. The sixth son of the emperor was given the right to make his own decisions on the matter of fundraising. Command to show the world! I don't care about the rest, I want the three million taels of silver! For three months! Do you understand? ”

"The son is willing to make a military order." Zhao Ming was excited, and knocked his heels to death first.

"There's no need for a military order, I'll do my best." Zhao Hao still loves this son who makes him more and more eye-catching, for fear that if he is not careful, the sixth prince will not come to the stage after slapping him in the face, "My son's intentions are good, you and the household department quickly discuss a charter and hand it over to the cabinet minister of the study so that the edict can be announced to the world." This matter is easy to rush and not to be delayed. Ministry of Works. ”

"The old minister is here!"

"You first arrange for some of the victims to repair the breach, and organize officials who are good at water conservancy to rush to inspect the river, sort out a plan to strengthen the river and submit it to the cabinet, and once the money and food are in place, mobilize the affected people to strengthen the river!"

"Obey the order!"

"Xiao Qian, the head of the household, Aiqing's burden is heavier. The household department had to transfer the money and grain needed by the Ministry of Industry to repair the breach, and it had to cooperate with the sixth son of the emperor to deal with the fundraising, and also calculate the money and grain needed for the implementation of the Qingmiao Law. Fortunately, I love Qing! ”

"Your Majesty's words are serious, this is a part of my household, how can I say that I am happy."

"The Ministry of Rites, the pacification of the victims is the responsibility of your Ministry of Rites as a spring official! Officials were dispatched to various places in a timely manner to comfort the victims and provide disaster relief. ”

"The Criminal Department sent secret agents to infiltrate the victims, and once they found out that they had ghosts in their hearts, they would be traitors and criminals. Check and report, and make a decision! ”

"If there is a dissatisfaction with the disaster, this is the business of the Ministry of War, and the unaffected state soldiers are mobilized to enter the disaster area to be on alert. As for the equipment and horses that were transported to the disaster area in advance, please leave it to the Ministry of Industry! ”

"In this disaster relief, not a single person must starve to death due to the problem of money and food. The sin of this natural disaster is not in the sky. It would be my sin to starve a victim to death! It is hoped that all departments will work together to overcome the difficulties. If there is a difference in the various departments, don't blame me for being unpredictable! In the end, Zhao Hao's face was ruthless, revealing a strong murderous aura, which reminded people of the ruthlessness when the emperor first ascended the throne when he released the three households to smoke a ding!

"If you don't dare, you will work together to tide over the difficulties! God bless me Da Zhao! ”

"Good! God bless me Da Zhao! ”
