When the emperor returned to Tianqian Palace, he was just in time for the small court meeting.

During this period of time, the Great Yan Dynasty was not stable, and the locust plague was basically unavoidable, so it was time to see if it could be controlled and not let the disaster spread too much.

The drought in two northwestern provinces was also very severe, and it was mid-April, and there was still no rain, and patches of fields and mountains began to wither.

Not to mention irrigation, the water storage everywhere is insufficient, and even the water used for food is insufficient.

The emperor was discussing countermeasures with several Shangshu when he saw Pei Jingqi come in.

"Meet His Majesty Liang." Several Shangshu saw Pei Jingqi and hurriedly saluted.

"You don't have to be polite, you are busy with your business, don't worry about this king." Pei Jingqi hurriedly said, but saw that the emperor's face was not good, so he hurriedly retreated.

"I think the proposal of the Ministry of Industry is very good, build an artificial river channel to divert water into the northwest, and immediately come up with a charter for this matter." The emperor looked at several ministers and whispered.

"Yes." The Ministry of Industry Shangshu hurriedly said.

"But Your Majesty...... In this way, the amount of work is too huge, and it requires countless manpower and financial resources to do it well, and it is ....... Tobe Shangshu couldn't help but open his mouth.

The emperor couldn't help but interrupt him, and said loudly: "And it may not be possible to see results for many years, but the imperial court has paid a lot because of it, right?" ”

"Yes." Tobe Shangshu nodded hurriedly.

"I know that building such a diversion channel may not lead to the driest place in the northwest within ten years, but as long as this channel is built, the drought will be alleviated, and most importantly...... In a few decades, the drought problem in the northwest will be completely solved, and the flooding in the south will be alleviated. The Emperor said loudly.

When everyone heard this, they didn't dare to say more, and quickly nodded.

For the emperor, the people's livelihood is a big plan, if the common people even have a problem with survival, then what else to do?

So, these troubles must be addressed.

"In addition, whether or not to build reservoirs and reservoirs will be handled by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households." The Emperor whispered.

"Yes." Everyone hurriedly responded.

This reservoir and reservoir were still what the emperor heard from her when he was chatting with Bai Yunyi the day before yesterday.

Moreover, the girl was particularly in favor of the water diversion project proposed by the Ministry of Industry, which made the emperor particularly surprised.

Will the children's families also pay attention to these things?

Although it may take decades to do this, future generations will have a good life because of it.

He is a king, so he naturally has to take a long-term view.

After taking care of a few more things, the Emperor waved his hand and motioned for everyone to retreat.

Pei Jingqi waited outside until everyone left, and he didn't run in.

"The ministers meet the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Have you negotiated with Shen Qingyang?" The Emperor asked in a low voice.

"Of course, for this reason, the minister also privately paid out of his pocket to invite him to Zuiyue Tower to drink flower wine, he fell in love with a Qing man who had only come recently, a thousand taels of silver, and the minister was bleeding profusely." Pei Jingqi was very speechless.

When the emperor heard this, he really wanted to reward him with a fried chestnut.

For such an important matter, can't these two second-class goods find a normal place to talk? I have to go to that kind of place.

"Hey, hey, man, it's good to talk about it after two drinks, and if you have a beautiful woman to accompany you, it's even better to talk." As if he knew what the emperor was thinking, Pei Jingqi hurriedly defended himself.
