(It's late again······ Self-blame, speechless······ ）

The snow began to fall for two or three days from the third day of the first lunar month, and people sang about the snow scene at first, but by the fourth day of the first month, they found that something was wrong. Overnight, more than 40 people froze to death in Chang'an, more than 100 houses collapsed outside the city, and an elderly couple over 70 years old in the suburbs were crushed to death. According to incomplete statistics, there are still four or five hundred dilapidated houses in Guangcheng. Jing Zhao Yin Wang Quan hurriedly organized officials to go down to inspect the disaster. Jingzhao officials who were on vacation returned to Bencao to report for duty.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, the emergency documents of the snow disaster in various parts of Guanzhong flew like snowflakes. On the third day of the first lunar month, Li Yan, who was still taking Youning and other princes and grandsons to secretly play in the snow by the Taiye Pool, couldn't sit still at this time. A meeting of the prime ministers was convened, and it was decided that the crown prince would be responsible for organizing the disaster relief work, assisted by Yu Di, Li Xun (household department), Yi Shen (military department), and Zhang Yang (Ministry of Industry). Instructions were quickly issued, and officials from various central government offices also rushed to various places in the snow.

Li Yu said:

"Ask for money to give money (Li Xun), and ask people to leave (Yi Shen). Let the people know that the court is with them. The Shence Army must quickly mobilize to help the people transfer their population and property, the Shence Army has a very bad reputation in recent years, and it is just taking this opportunity to improve the relationship between the military and the people. Most of the people are reluctant to give up the wealth of their ancestral houses, especially many elderly people who want to take care of their homes and houses. The dilapidated houses should be demolished in time and told that the government will rebuild them in time. ”

After the task was assigned, Li Yu's heart still couldn't let go, in the era of backward manpower, a natural disaster was enough to destroy people's efforts for several years. The snow was still falling heavily, and looking at the snowflakes falling tightly like cotton wool, Li Yu couldn't help but pray:

"Thief God, can't you go down smaller?"

Li Zhongyan on the side was startled, hurriedly clasped his hands together, and said thoughtfully:

"Grandpa the Emperor of Heaven, the emperor is also worried about the people, and said casually in a hurry, please don't care about your old man, you have a lot of old people, hurry up and stop the snow, we are all good emperors, sympathetic to the people, never lose morality, if you want to blame you, blame the disobedient Li Shitao••••••"

Li Yu was so crying and laughing by him that he kicked it over, and said:

"This is a natural disaster, what does it have to do with virtue and immorality?"

However, Li Yu immediately realized the seriousness of the Dao problem. Heavy snow fell for three days, and although the government army went all out, the people in the entire Guanzhong were still as many as hundreds of people who froze to death, and cattle and sheep froze to death and frostbite. In this year, cattle are the main production tools, the reproduction rate is low, it takes several years to train a capable cow, in a sense, for farmers, cattle are more important than people, and the government will be fined and sentenced to death if they kill cattle without permission. On the one hand, Li Yu instructed the local government to try their best to help the people, and to prevent the occurrence of freezing to death and frostbite and selling children and daughters, while sighing:

"If the people freeze to death and get frostbitten, let the inner government buy it at the market price of the bullock. Let's buy the sheep at the market price."

Li Yu's plan is to buy these cattle and sheep that have frozen to death and frostbite at market prices, on the one hand, he can give the people a certain living allowance in this way, and on the other hand, after these cattle and mutton are purchased, they may not lose money after they are operated. You must know that it is illegal to kill cattle without authorization, and the rich and noble people in Chang'an City who want to eat beef are not ordinary people••••••

There has been such a big natural disaster, so many people have died, and the loss is so great, although God is mad, but the thinking inertia accumulated over many years is that someone must be found to be responsible, and there is only one person in the whole world who can be responsible for what God has done, and that is the Son of Heaven - Li Yu. According to Dong Zhongshu's theory of heaven and man induction, if there is such a natural disaster, that is, there is a problem with the virtue of the Son of Heaven, and if there is a problem with virtue, it must be corrected, and it is necessary to issue an edict against oneself. After waiting for Li Yu for a few days and finding that the emperor was not very conscious, Du Huangshang finally hid and put the ministers' recitals in front of Li Yu.

Li Yu slapped the table and shouted angrily:

"I'm immoral, tell me where I'm immoral?"

Several prime ministers looked at each other. It is really not easy for Li Yu to be the emperor, he manages such a large country with a disabled body, he has put down three rebellions in the past two years, and he has exempted millions of people from tax exemption alone, he has selected talents and talents, opened up financial roads, and is disabled and strong, how can he be a promising king, and he is also dedicated to disaster relief, and all measures are implemented, which is not many times stronger than Emperor Dezong, who only knows how to do things when there is a natural disaster. Moreover, the lustful and debaucherous nature that Renjun is most likely to commit is not able to take advantage of Li Yu - it's not that he doesn't want to, but his body doesn't allow it.

Several prime ministers slandered God in their hearts, and at the same time looked at Du Huangshang, Du Huangshang hummed and chirped for a long time before saying:

"Heaven sends disasters, naturally there is a reason from heaven, Your Majesty should not delve into it, officials and people everywhere are waiting."

Du Huangsheng, who has always been old and reasonable, actually said such a thing, Li Yu couldn't help but laugh, even Du Huangshang himself couldn't help it, and the embarrassing atmosphere was swept away for a while. Li Yu is right to think about it, if you want to say that you are sorry for God, isn't what you are doing now against the sky? But it's no wonder that I'm the one who took me to play first. Li Yu tried his best to straighten his face and said:

"It's okay for me to make an edict against myself, but it must be reasonable, and I will never agree if there is no reason."

There was still no way, and several prime ministers were dumbfounded, but the smile just now had eased the mood of the prime ministers. Since becoming the prime minister, he has been busy with the national economy and people's livelihood, and Li Jifu, who was writing the "Yongzhen National Planning Book", suddenly raised his head and said:

"Your Majesty is indeed at fault, and it is a big mistake."

The prime ministers were stunned for a moment, and Li Yu asked with a gloomy face:

"What's wrong with me?"

Li Jifu said:

"Your Majesty's mistake is not to vigorously restrain the feudal towns that are not subordinate!"

Not only Li Yu, but the eyes of several prime ministers looking at Li Jifu have changed, this kid is so talented! It not only saved the emperor's face, but also planted the seeds for the feudal town to find fault, killing two birds with one stone, killing two birds with one stone!

Of course, the emperor's edict was written very tactfully, so euphemistic that the town officials knew it in their hearts, and the common people didn't understand it, but the common people didn't understand it, and it didn't prevent them from giving Li Yu the nickname "Tax-free Emperor" at all. Guanzhong was originally exempt from tax for two years, but during a snowstorm this year, Li Yu ordered the tax exemption of several hard-hit states, and the tax of several light-disaster states was also discounted. In addition, at the invitation of Wang Shuwen, Li Qi's family property was used to pay taxes in the six prefectures of Zhenhai, and this nickname is both cordial and appropriate.

After hearing this, Li Yu also laughed at himself: The tax-free emperor is the tax-free emperor, it is better than Zhou Papi.
