Chapter 883: South-to-North Water Diversion
The Chinese military officials of the DPRK did not agree to Su Xiaoman's proposal, but now Shi Ji Zhen stood up.
As long as the official is not stupid, he can basically see that this Shi Ji is really on Su Xiaoman's side.
Su Xiaoman thought that Huang Fengyi would stand up, but he didn't expect that little girl to be quite good at doing things.
Su Xiaoman agreed with Huang Fengyi's approach in his heart, and then stepped forward to continue.
"Back to the emperor, you can really try this matter, and the ministers have already learned about the local situation before this trip."
In fact, Su Xiaoman didn't know much about it, but the place over there seemed to be a perennial drought.
And those incorruptible prefects also said that there was such a situation all year round, so Su Xiaoman dared to say so, and then Su Xiaoman explained.
"After investigation, it was found that the area had been dry for many years, and that kind of dry and cracked land could not grow any food at all."
Although Su Xiao said so, the officials didn't think so.
The military attaché didn't say anything, and almost all the civil officials in the dynasty were old-fashioned, so naturally they wanted to come forward to organize.
At this time, only the newly promoted civil official came forward to refute Su Xiaoman, and he was naturally a little arrogant when he first took the position, so he said.
"Although there are frequent droughts in that area, this is not a reason to reduce taxes, and if some taxes are reduced, it will be difficult for other people to balance."
After this civil official said that, all the officials who opposed Su Xiaoman's proposal kowtowed one after another.
"Please think twice!"
Su Xiaoman looked at the small number of officials who expressed their positions, and then at the officials who did not move, and made a calculation in his heart.
The number of officials who have expressed their stance and those who have not expressed their stance can be said to be evenly matched.
If someone who didn't say anything could support her, there was still a chance that the matter would be viable.
Lu Li listened to everyone's rebuttals, then looked at Su Xiaoman again, and saw that Su Xiaoman was thinking about something, so he turned his head in the direction of the others and asked.
"Other Aiqing don't have any opinions? Let's think about it. ”
At this time, the people who were asked were those who did not express their position, and they were originally afraid of Su Xiaoman, so they didn't dare to speak.
But now that the emperor has asked, they can only bite the bullet.
Some people who were not very optimistic about Su Xiaoman sent an old official to speak.
"The minister does not express an opinion on this matter, and the local situation is best known to Lord Su, so it is still Lord Su."
The implication of this is that I haven't been there, Su Shangshu has been there to know the situation, and the handling method must be more familiar than us.
They didn't object on the surface, and they silently helped Su Xiaoman, and they still gave Su Xiaoman enough face.
Another group of people who were more courageous, thinking about Su Xiaoman, also came out to speak.
"Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that what Su Shangshu said is not unreasonable, and it is indeed good for the people."
Su Xiaoman listened to their opinions and knew in his heart, it seems that the probability of this decree being implemented is still very high.
Lu Li sat on the high seat, pretending to be at a loss, but
He already had it in his mind.
He also thinks Xiaoman's proposal is good, the most important thing in a country is the people's will.
The people's hearts are contained, and they are not afraid that the country will not prosper, but there are also a little difficulties.
In fact, what the opposing officials said is not unreasonable, one place is exempt from taxes, and the hearts of the people in other places will certainly not be unbalanced.
Some of the kind-hearted ones are fine, but those who are jealous will definitely break their mouths.
Thinking of this, Lu Li knew that Su Xiaoman would definitely have a solution, so he questioned.
"Master Su, this is a little inappropriate, if the people in other places are jealous, how can this be good?"
Of course, Su Xiaoman is thinking about this matter, although she is thinking about how to solve the drought, but there is still no specific plan.
Su Xiaoman, who asked this question, had a headache, so he said.
"The minister also considered resolving this matter, and when the decree was issued, it was clearly explained, saying that the reduction and exemption would only be used for drought matters, and the decree would be revoked after the drought matter was resolved."
When the ministers listened to Su Xiaoman's words, they all felt that Su Xiaoman's decision was a bit hasty.
With that said, there was no hope for a solution at all.
Lu Li also felt that Su Xiaoman's statement was a bit far-fetched, so he frowned and said.
"It's a bit far-fetched, but what is the idea of a solution to the drought?"
In fact, Lu Li also understood when he asked Su Xiaoman, after all, he wanted to appease the hearts of many ministers in the DPRK.
Su Xiaoman looked at Lu Li firmly, and then remembered that there was a lot of rain in the south, wouldn't it be better if it could be used in the north?
Thinking of this, Su Xiaoman spoke.
"Back to the emperor, this minister has an idea in his heart."
Hearing Su Xiaoman say this, the ministers of the court were secretly speechless, and they didn't believe that she could think of any way at all.
Some people looked at Su Xiaoman without cutting it, and they all felt that she was a woman and not suitable for the court at all.
Lu Li listened to Su Xiaoman's words, and thought about letting her continue, so that maybe this matter could be implemented smoothly.
"Oh? What an idea. ”
Su Xiaoman listened to the full house, and was not timid, so he spoke.
"Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that the flood in the south is in trouble, and the drought and water shortage in the north are in danger, why don't the two sides complement each other and solve the disaster situation of the two sides?"
The more Su Xiaoman spoke, the more reasonable he felt, so he became very confident, and then spoke.
"So why don't we come up with a south-to-north water diversion project to ease the situation between the two sides?"
Shi Ji really didn't expect Su Xiaoman to think like this, thinking about it carefully, this is really a good way.
Shi Ji Zhen secretly admired here, and the ministers stopped questioning one after another.
If this matter can be successfully implemented, it will be a two-party problem to solve, and it is indeed worthy of recognition.
Lu Li looked at the confident Su Xiaoman, but he didn't expect her to think of this method, which was indeed worthy of recognition, so he spoke.
"I think Su Shangshu's proposal is feasible, what is the objection of Zhong Aiqing?"
Because the kind of idea that Su Xiaoman said really solved Donglan
The issue of the people's livelihood in the country is somewhat unreasonable when it is opposed.
Therefore, the ministers who had refuted before all bowed their heads, and there was no opposition in the court for a while.
There are a few people who are not used to seeing Su Xiaoman, and they also closed their lips in this silence.
Su Xiaoman saw that there was no opposition from the court, so he stepped forward and said.
"Your Majesty, since there is no opposition from the ministers, can the decree of temporary reduction be issued first?"
Lu Li also knew that it was time, so he clenched his fist against the corner of his mouth to hide the smile on the corner of his mouth, and said in a steady voice.
"Then it was decided first, the drought places in recent years have implemented tax exemption decrees, notified the local government, and posted notices to show the people."
Speaking of which, Lu Li had already controlled his emotions, put down his hand, and continued.
"There is also the matter of Master Su's south-to-north water diversion, and I ask Su Shangshu to put more effort into finding a solution as soon as possible."
Su Xiaoman was of course very happy when he saw that his proposal had been approved.
But this kind of happiness can't be shown outside, and then said to the emperor who has ascended the throne.
"Obey."
The ministers in front of the hall all dared not speak, after all, what Su Xiaoman said was not unreasonable, so they all quieted down.
After arranging the tax reduction and exemption, because there was no prime minister in the court, the ministers in the court persuaded Lu Li to identify him.
Lu Li originally thought about giving it to Su Xiaoman, but not long after she was promoted to Shangshuwei, she didn't want to arrange for others.
Lu Li, who was annoyed by the ministers' questions, shouted and stopped.
At this time, there was no suitable candidate in the DPRK and China, and the matter will be discussed in the future, and now Su Xiaoman, the secretary of the ministry, will replace the post of prime minister and exercise the rights of prime minister. Other things are being decided later. ”
After Lu Li made such an announcement, everyone understood the truth of the matter.
Although it is said that Su Xiaoman will replace the position, this is clearly to let her do it, but it is not public.
But the emperor has already made a decision, so there is no room for negotiation, and everyone has gone to the emperor wisely.
In this way, Su Xiaoman, as the secretary of the ministry, was a part-time prime minister to assist the emperor.
After the next day, the government decree was promulgated to reduce taxes.
Although the people in some places have also reflected this, it is also inconsequential.
The implementation of this decree will give sufficient benefits to the land of famine.
When the prefect over there learned of the news, they went to the direction of Beijing to their subordinates, thanking the saint for his wisdom.
In addition to the gratitude of the local prefects, the people also knelt down to express their gratitude.
At that time, the people in the corrupt places were even more excited and kowtowed to express their gratitude.
After solving the corruption of the prefect, the people in other cities who had fled returned to their hometowns one after another.
Even if that place is dry all year round, it is the place where I was born, and my hometown is a pure land for everyone, so of course it is better to go home.
After solving the tax problem, Su Xiaoman took the place of prime minister
, every day in the study to help Lu Li sort out government affairs.
Su Xiaoman once suspected in his heart that this Lu Li must have wanted to let him work, so he made it so difficult for himself.
Su Xiaoman looked at the reports from the prefects in his hand, it was really a big one, so he asked Lu Li next to the voice.
"You just want me to help you share the government affairs, right, what will replace the position of prime minister? Are you all liars? ”
Lu Li calmly looked at the documents in his hand, and it was not wrong to say that he was a little selfish.
Keeping his wife by his side all the time is his real purpose.
Looking at the angry Su Xiaoman, Lu Likou explained.
"How can you say that, I would have asked you to accept the position of prime minister, but I was afraid that if you were promoted too quickly, some people in the court would not be convinced."
Even if Lu Li said this, Su Xiaoman would not feel that what he said was right, so he ignored him and looked at the report in his hand with resentment.
