Chapter 48: A few questions to Jin Gong

He nodded: "In the past, when there was no Qinglong Dam, there would be a big flood almost every other year. The year before last, the Qinglong Dam was built, and when it rained heavily in spring last year, there was no heavy flooding. But this year, I don't know if the Qinglong Dam can withstand it. ”

Miaomiao's face was full of worry: "If there is a big flood, I don't know how many people will die downstream." ”

Xiao Yuan was swept here by the flood, and he empathized with the horror of the flood: "Didn't the government organize the people to take refuge elsewhere earlier? ”

He shouted: "Your Highness, how can it be as simple as you think. The land and crops of the common people are there, and no one will leave their homes easily. ”

Xiao Yuanhao was very puzzled: "It's not that they won't be allowed to go home, when the flood waters recede, they will go back." ”

He said, "Your Highness, you don't understand. If the people are left from home, and when they return, their houses and fields are destroyed, it is better not to go back, and to leave their homes to beg for food. ”

Xiao Yuan nodded, once so many people become homeless, this area on the outskirts of Beijing will have to be deserted. In addition, if there are more displaced people, there will be problems with law and order.

She couldn't stay in Wanfu Palace, and after thinking about it, she simply led a few little girls to Jinyi Palace.

Empress Dowager Xu was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered Niu Nei to lead people to chase after her.

The atmosphere in the Jinyi Palace is not good.

With the help of the torrential rain, the Lanjiang River is like a tiger with wings, constantly tearing at the Qinglong Dam.

The news that Jin Yi Palace only got in the morning said that in the middle of the night, the water of the Lanjiang River was only three feet away from the Qinglong Dam. If the flood gate is not opened, I am afraid that Yujing will not be able to protect it.

Once the floodgates are opened, the villages and towns downstream will inevitably be swept away by the floodwaters.

It's not a good multiple-choice question.

"King, open the gates!"

Prime Minister Xiao Longzhuang's tone was very relaxed: "Lanjiang has a lot of water every year, and the people have long been used to it. However, this year's flood is particularly large, and if the flood is discharged, the scope of the flood will be more extensive. O king, send a decree to go down, and let the people of the towns and villages go to other places for a while. ”

Taiwei Yu Conglin snorted: "What Fu Anjun said lightly, so many homeless people are gathered in one place, and a slight accident can cause a riot." King Mu's rebellion in the green shirts at that time is a case in point. ”

Jin Min, the great farmer, also disagreed: "There are too many people who have been affected by the disaster, and it is not easy for so many people to settle down." Eating and drinking are still secondary, and I am afraid that there will be a plague after the disaster. ”

Xiao Longzhuang spread his hands: "Then what should I do?" Watching them drown in their homes? Anyway, the floodgates must be opened, otherwise Yujing City will not be able to protect it. ”

Everyone was arguing, so they all looked at Xiao Qian, waiting for him to make a decision.

Xiao Qian's face was faint, and he couldn't see his joy or anger.

He curled his fingers, drew a circle in several counties in the lower reaches of the Lanjiang River, nodded, and said: "Just do what Fu Anjun said, open the floodgates and discharge the flood." ”

Once the matter was settled, the next step was to discuss how to settle the people who had left their homes.

There are four counties in the lower reaches of the Lanjiang River, and once the floodgates are opened, the first disaster is Zhangping County.

The people of the four towns and eighteen townships of Zhangping County had to be moved, plus Gedang County, Nantai County, and Baima County...... With so many people, it's a big project.

"Father, so many people, all of them are settled, how many days will it take?"

No one noticed when the tenth princess Xiao Yuanhao came in.

She was short, standing on tiptoe no taller than a desk, and her two chubby hands were grabbing the corners of the table as if she wanted to climb up.

Xiao Longzhuang was amused by her simple appearance, and carried Xiao Yuanhao to the desk: "Ah Hao sat up and looked at the map, so it won't be difficult." ”

Taiwei Yu Conglin frowned: "Fu Anjun, this map is not something for His Highness to play with. ”

Xiao Yuan ignored the two of them, and she looked carefully at the map on the table.

This is a more detailed map, on which the rivers, lakes, seas, mountains and plains are marked with various colors of ink.

It's far worse than the current map, but it's still understandable.

Xiao Qian had no intention of teasing Xiao Yuanhao, but seeing that she was serious and remembered the words of the South-to-North Water Diversion, he asked casually: "Ah Hao, what do you see?" ”

Xiao Yuanhao pointed to a large plain on the map and asked, "Which county's field is this?" ”

Xiao Qian looked at Jin Min, the great farmer.

Jin Min glanced at it and said, "The fields here are all good fields, Ruchen remembers well, all the major families have land here." ”

The Yu family has the most land here, and almost half of it is his.

The remaining half, the Dingguo Gongsun family accounts for one-half, and the rest, several major families occupy the land piecemeal, and the few have hundreds of acres.

Therefore, as soon as he saw Xiao Yuan drawing circles on this plain, Yu Conglin's heart was raised: "Her Royal Highness the princess asked why is this done?" Your fiefdom isn't here. ”

Xiao Yuan's good little chubby fingers paused on the map, what? She still has a fief?

Xiao Qian smiled slightly when she saw this, moved her little fat finger, nodded at the Dengzhou Mansion and Qingzhou Mansion in Laizhou, and said, "After you are ready, Gu will give you these two places as fiefs." ”

There were several gasps in the hall.

Both of these places are close to the sea, and the land is fertile, not to mention the grain for the time being, and the salt tax paid every year alone is quite a lot.

The king actually gave these two places to the ten princesses, which shows that he is very fond of him.

Xiao Yuan didn't know how rich these two mansions were, so he just looked at the sea on the map, thinking that he should be able to eat seafood every day in the future.

Her attention quickly returned to the large area of fertile land near Qinglong Dam: "Gong Jin, do you know how many acres of fertile land there are?" ”

Jin Min and Yu Conglin glanced at each other, and the latter pursed the corners of his mouth slightly.

Jin Min said: "Your Highness, there are 30,000 acres of fertile land in this place that is recorded and has a master. ”

Xiao Yuanhao asked, "What about the ones that are not recorded?" How many? Are they all ownerless? ”

Jin Min didn't expect Xiao Yuan to ask this, and after thinking about it, he said, "Your Highness, you have to go back and turn over the file." Because there are many fertile fields here, most of the fields that have been given to the family by the kings of the past dynasties are here. Except for 30,000 acres of fertile land with owners and 10,000 acres of royal fields, the rest are uncultivated wasteland. ”

"Oh? Which piece is it, you can show it to me. ”

Jin Min wasn't sure what Xiao Yuan meant, so he had to look at Xiao Qian.

Xiao Gan still couldn't see joy or anger on his face, but his eyes were slightly sarcastic, staring at him.

Jin Min's heart suddenly pinched.

Since the death of the queen, the king has become increasingly suspicious and moody. Jin Min didn't know if there was a flaw in his words, and in Xiao Qian's oppressive eyes, he had to bite the bullet and ask, "King, this ......?"

"Show her!"

Jin Min's body trembled invisibly, stretched out his hand to draw a circle on the map, and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, this large area is an ownerless wasteland. ”

Xiao Yuan felt that something was wrong here, so he asked, "Didn't you just say that this large area of land is all fertile land?" Since it is fertile land, why is no one cultivating it? Isn't it a waste to leave the ground there for nothing? ”
