After sitting and saluting, the four of them retreated to sit on both sides of the bookcase and saluted in turn.

This is Li Yuzhen's daily routine work report after arriving in Guangzhou.

If there was anything that was difficult to decide, Li Yuzhen solved it on the spot, which greatly improved the work efficiency and accelerated all processes.

For example, the local financial endowment and the central government are three or seven points, the central government gets seven, and the local government retains three, but Guangzhou has suffered two major disasters one after another, and it is not enough to rely on these "three", and it is necessary to ask the imperial court for instructions to withhold taxes, and Li Yuzhen can decide on the spot here, and there is less time for the approval of the performance.

Another example is the work of requisitioning and dispatching the soldiers of the Zhichong Prefecture for disaster relief and cleaning up the ruins, because of Li Yuzhen's direct order, there is a lot less delay and prevarication. Because the Tang Dynasty is a separation of military and government, the Zhichong Prefecture is not under the control of the local government, the defense envoy only obeys the orders of the military department, and the observation envoy can only negotiate the transfer of troops and cannot refer to the law, so it is inevitable to delay and grind. And Li Yuzhen supervised the military department with Shangshu's right servant - this is the ministry directly under the emperor, and the sage issued an edict in addition to the prime minister and granted her the right to supervise the ministry - commanding Helian Tieshu is justified, and his words are certainly more effective than Song Jideng.

For example, the civil official is not monolithic, for example, Cai Bonian is from a poor family and scholarly background, and he is known for his thrift and thrift as an official, and most of the family officials who pay attention to enjoyment do not get along, and they are a little harsh and harsh in the financial and tax allocation, and Song Yu and the two are guarded against as greedy officials, and every money must be calculated and understood, and the accounts of the request are carefully examined again and again, so strict that people jump to their feet and curse, if it were not for Li Yuzhen's decisive approval and coordinated disposal, Song Jideng and Yu Tingfang would have to roll up their sleeves and fight with him.

For another example, with the warrant issued by Li Yuzhen, the procurement and transportation of disaster relief materials from the neighboring road has become smooth and fast, and there is no longer any procrastination and various excuses.

……

In short, this daily meeting has become the core of Guangzhou's government affairs, all instructions have been issued and implemented quickly, and all thorny affairs have been resolved...... From top to bottom, there is a positive outlook.

It is known that the princess of Qin is in Guangzhou.

Nothing can reassure people's hearts and minds more than the future crown prince visiting the disaster area in person.

She rode a horse every day to patrol the city, sweat and blood horses mighty horses, her people are more handsome, people see her purple robe and sword, they feel a force, that is a kind of calm, calm power: confident, calm, noble, powerful - as if with her, no difficulty is difficult. People can't help but bow their heads, and they can't help but raise their eyebrows, wanting to follow. In the aftermath of a disaster, people especially expect strong leaders to emerge and give them shelter, hope, and confidence. And Li Yuzhen fully met people's expectations, which made her prestige in Guangzhou high, unmatched, and the nursery rhyme that was sung has long been silently annihilated.

Now, nearly three months have passed since the earthquake, batches of disaster relief materials have been transferred to Guangzhou, one-third of the ruins in the city have been cleaned up, the roads and public facilities damaged by the earthquake are being repaired and restored, and the affected people have moved into tents and temporary sheds according to the unified plan, and each area is guaranteed to have cleaned and disinfected and filtered wells, and built separate toilets for men and women, with sewage pipes under them, so as to eliminate the source of the epidemic after the disaster.

The most severely damaged by the earthquake is Nancheng, which has basically become a ruin, because the epicenter is in Nancheng, and the second is that Nancheng has the most civilians and poor households, and they live in shantytowns and thin houses, which collapse after an earthquake. The civilian houses in the other three cities were also the most damaged, with cracked walls and broken roofs, most of which were uninhabitable. At yesterday's regular meeting, Yu Tingfang submitted a proposal for the discussion of the shacks, thatched houses, and thin adobe thatched houses in the poor areas, and the thin adobe thatched houses in the civilian squares, and rebuilt them into tiled houses with standard adobe walls, using the cheapest tiles, which are stronger and safer than the previous "dangerous houses" and "inferior houses", and greatly reduce the fire danger.

It is also proposed that the government shall bear 30% of the construction money - as a disaster relief fund, the people will bear 70%, and this 70% will be advanced by the government, and the people will sign a loan contract and repay the loan in installments over 10 or 20 years......

Cai Bonian's face turned black at that time, and he scolded Yu Tingfang for "fainting!" Ridiculous! Brain scum! How much money does Guangzhou have? Song Jideng also felt that "I'm going crazy!" ”……

How bold does it take to make such a decision? -- According to the statistics attached to the notebook, there are 117,000 and hundreds of civilians' shoddy houses that need to be rebuilt, and this is definitely a big project that costs money, and it is estimated that the Guangzhou government will spend more than 10 million yuan at once, which is more than the total tax revenue of Lingnan Dongdao in a year, and it will take 10 or 20 years for the commoners to recover the loans.

Cai Bonian and Song Jideng agreed on this time, and they both wanted to stretch out their hands and strangle Yu Tingfang: This kind of proposal should be thrown into the gong bucket and drowned! Do you want our whole Dao to drink the northwest wind next year!

The two vehemently opposed.

Li Yuzhen didn't make a decision on the spot, but after the regular meeting, it was rumored that Gong Cao had joined the army Sheng Yu Nian, and accompanied by Yu Tingfang and Sheng Yu Nian, he inspected Nancheng.

Song Jideng and Cai Bonian were very worried when they heard this.

At this time, the two of them were sitting in the study, their bodies were straight, and their expressions were very serious. When Yu Tingfang opened his mouth to say something, the two of them stared at him with four eyes, and they dared to kill you if they dared to say that the loan house bill would kill you!

The corners of Yu Tingfang's eyes twitched.

Helian Tieshu laughed out with a "poof", his sunken eye sockets were full of interest, and he had an expression of "sit back and watch you fight". He is the defense envoy in charge of the army, and the food and military resources of the defense department and the prefectures under it are all allocated by the military department, and are not under the control of the local finance, even if the Guangzhou Assassin Shi loses all the financial and tax revenues of the entire Lingnan East Province, it has nothing to do with him, so he is very idle to watch the play.

Yu Tingfang coughed, opened his handbook and made a routine report: "There was no new situation yesterday. Che Chong Province continued to clean up the rubble and found two fatalities – a total of 3,216 people killed so far. The Medical Officer's Bureau reported: There were no new cases of cholera, no other epidemics, and the number of cases of summer fever increased by 143......"

As he spoke, he finished his work neatly, closed his notebook and tucked it into his sleeve, and then raised his eyes to stare at the ebony pedestal desk calendar standing on the bookcase—the back page of "yesterday" that had been turned over was facing them, and it was written in ink pen: 80.

This is a "Brahmin number", named because Brahmin monks brought it in, and has been widely used in Datang. The numbers on the calendar page indicate that 80 days after the earthquake – this is how Li Yuzhen warned them: Don't delay in dealing with disasters.

After Jingzong, the rule of officials was slack, and the officialdom was slow to make decisions, and the implementation was delayed, which had become a common practice, but the princess of Qin State obviously hated this "common practice". Yu Tingfang's slender eyes flickered, thinking about the likes and dislikes of this person's administration, so he said in a straightforward and frank way: "After submitting the proposal yesterday, Xia Guan was anxious, and he desperately wanted to implement it as soon as possible, I wonder if His Highness has made a decision?" ”

Immediately felt a knife-like gaze.

Song Jideng Cai Bonian looked at him with his eyes.

Yu Tingfang felt that his figure was so thin that his official uniform was fluttering, but his face was thick and thick, and he was not afraid of picking his face.

Li Yuzhen said in a cool voice: "I have attached this book to the political affairs hall. Today is May 21, and by mid-June at the latest, there must be a chapter approval. ”

Yu Tingfang's voice was excited, "Wow! "Straighten up and take a long look.

Song Jideng Cai Bonian's face collapsed, and he had the expression of encountering the great famine.

As soon as Li Yuzhen saw this description, he knew that the two of them were not convinced, even if the government hall approved it, I am afraid that the implementation would be discounted, so it was natural to dredge up his thoughts, so he slowed down his voice and said:

"Emperor Taizong said: 'The country is peaceful, live and work in peace and contentment,' and he also admonished: 'There is a room in the world that cannot be safe, and a husband who cannot eat, that is, the responsibility of the prime minister.' But how can you live in peace? ——'Food, clothing, and housing', and then 'walking', this is called: the four major livelihoods.

"However, the prosperity of the country is not achieved overnight, and the solution to people's livelihood cannot be achieved overnight. Therefore: food is one, clothing is two; To, go, for three, for four.

"Throughout the reign of the country, the first legislation promulgated seed grain loans, cattle loans, and farm tool loans, and then Zhaoxuan changed the law and established green seedling loans - in order for the people to afford to eat, which is to solve the people's livelihood of 'food'. In the Changzhi Dynasty, four years ago, the government hall issued a new law, promulgated cotton field loans, and promoted cotton planting - this is to further solve the people's livelihood of 'clothing', so that there are no people who freeze to death in the world. ”

Of course, Song and Cai understand the truth of promoting cotton planting. Because of the overcoming of cotton planting technology, it can finally be planted in the north and south of the river, and it is no longer the only show in Hexi, and the price of cotton will inevitably fall from a high place under mass production, and when its price is so cheap that farmers and farmers can afford to wear cotton jackets and cover cotton quilts, the number of people who freeze to death in the country will be reduced by half in the cold and snow season every year.

"Since the Zhaoxuan reform, the country has become more and more prosperous, and the central and local finances are abundant, and they have the ability to consider, and should further consider, the people's livelihood of 'for three, for four' - after food and clothing, it is housing. Local governance is about living and working in peace and contentment. What is Settle House? There are no thieves, no bandits, no trouble, no murder and extermination, officials are not strict in exploitation, and the folk morality is good -- this can be a 'top' in the performance appraisal of the officials; but under the rule of the people's livelihood, the small people do not have enough to eat, they do not have warm clothing, and they live in a house where it rains and snows, can this be called a peaceful residence? This kind of magistrate, even if he is a clean official who hangs high in the mirror and is as honest as water, will never be able to get 'excellent' in the performance appraisal of the officials! Why? ”

Li Yuzhen's eyes were sharp, and his voice was also sharp, "Because of people's livelihood!" Why did the performance appraisal of the ministry set the three policies of 'enriching the people, strengthening the people, and wise the people'? Because I raised the people of flying eagles, not a group of poor and ignorant quails! -- The three major local sins: poverty, weakness, and ignorance, this is the dereliction of duty of the local governor. Still want a performance appraisal? ”

The three local governors sweated silently, thinking about how many sins they accounted for in the "three major sins"? …… The sweat on my back was getting worse.

Cai Bonian, who had the strongest opposition before, was a well-known Qing official, and he couldn't help but put the words on himself, and his face suddenly flushed slightly, which was quite unpleasant.

Helian Tieshu let out a "ha" in his heart, and his eyes rolled in his eyes, looking at the nervous and sweaty appearance of these civil officials, he felt quite happy. couldn't help but glance at Li Yuzhen again, and secretly said a "service". Not everyone has the ability to sit on the throne and give orders, and not everyone has the ability to sit on the throne to make the talented local officials bow down and listen to the lesson! - You can't do it just by being the princess of the Qin Kingdom. In addition to the momentum of the strong, she has a unique bearing, a charm that is convincing and followed. After a long time, Helian Tieshu understood: this kind of bearing is called pattern.

Li Yuzhen said: "For the prime minister, there must be a political and economic pattern. Those who govern the local government should also have a pattern, not only focus on the immediate financial gains and losses, but also take a long-term view. -- National housing loans, this is a long-term policy. It not only solves the big problem of "housing" of people's livelihood, but also is a long-term interest growth point. Think of the shipbuilding industry, which pulls the interests of maritime trade. Housing is a greater cause than the shipping industry, and the interests of all aspects are pulled, not to mention more than ten times? ”

Yu Tingfang's eyes shone brightly.

Song Jideng and Cai Bonian's eyes also began to flicker.

“…… Guangzhou is the richest state in the south, with an annual municipal tax of 2 million yuan, and has this financial condition, as a trial place for housing loans. Once the trial is successful, it will be promoted throughout the country, and Guangzhou will be the first in the new law. ”

This is a great achievement.

There is no one who has set an example of the new law and has not been promoted.

Although Song Cai and the others have concerns, which one has no ambitions?

But, the question of money......

Li Yuzhen dispelled their concerns, "10 million guan is indeed a large amount, but it is not for your Lingnan finance to come up immediately. To build a house, who said that the government built it? The Ministry of Learning, the Ordnance Superintendent, those logistics military materials, and ordinary ordnance, are they being built by the government? The country hides its wealth from the people, and the richest is not in the government, and the wealth of the people, the government makes good use of it, and it becomes a great benefit. ”

Song Jideng and Cai Bonian only felt that their eyes lit up and suddenly brightened.

Even Yu Tingfang didn't expect a section, his original plan was to allocate 10% from the imperial court, and it was best to strive for 20%, and the rest was borrowed from the imperial court by Lingnan Dongdao, and the household department would be repaid 10% every year, and it would be paid off after ten years. But Song Cai and the others disagreed, because Lingnan East Road will have a tight life in the past ten years, and other matters that need to be spent money, such as building roads and schools, what should we do?

The eyes of the three of them lit up at this time, and they really felt that it was "dark under the light" before, why didn't they think of this!

Song Jideng was so excited that his beard trembled, and he was about to speak, but he was preempted by Helian Tieshu:

"Ha, this one knows!"

Helian Tieshu slapped his leg with a slap, "What His Highness said is the same as the capital construction institute of the Ministry of War and the Ordnance Superintendent, let the merchants bid and subcontract the construction. He hahaha, "Your Highness still has a pattern, we didn't expect the house to be built like this." This is called ...... Jewel in front, eyes covered with? ”

“…… It's the jewel that doesn't know it. "Song Jideng gritted his teeth, the rude guy is vulgar in speech, what,, you!

Helian Tieshu nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, it means that you Zhuyu are in front of you and don't know it." As he spoke, he pointed his finger at himself - Jewel is here, here is here.

Song Jideng and the three: "......" really wanted to pump him.

King Jin covered his mouth and smiled on the side of the screen.

……

When they got up and withdrew, the three civil officials were all smiling and smiling, looking like they were working together to create a pattern, and they didn't see the tense demeanor of yesterday at all. Helian Tieshu rolled his eyes widely: civil officials just change their faces quickly.

After the four of them left, King Jin walked around the screen and grinned, "This Helian tree is interesting." ”

Li Yuzhen got up and relaxed, and said, "He didn't wash the magistrate at will—there was a gap between the military and the government: this was done for me." ”

King Jin: "Huh? "I can't see a tall and fierce appearance, but there is this crooked intestine in my belly." ”

"It's not surprising." The king of Linchuan interjected on the side of the screen, "If the local military and government are in harmony, the saint should be at odds." In front of Zhaohua, Helian Tieshu had to have a discordant relationship with the Lingnan magistrate, which was normal. ”

"......," King Jin understood, "then are they really discordant, or are they false discord?" ”

"Half-true, half-false." Li Yuzhen paced to the big glass window, and his voice was faint, "Guangzhou is rich, and the defense department has a tense relationship with the local government, so it won't be able to get many benefits." "Those thin and cool eyes took out the sunlight and revealed the coolness," for example, smuggling goods at sea...... When the Guangzhou Navy Division was patrolling at sea, it was "blind" and missed a ship, which was a huge amount of money. ”

The Guangzhou Navy Division is subordinate to the Defense Division, and the top boss Helian Tieshu.

"......" King Jin immediately felt that Helian Xiaoshu was not interesting at all.

Li Yuzhen's cool eyes flashed with a cold light, "Five years ago, the tariff of Guangzhou City was up and down 1.8 million yuan a year; As soon as the Zhao clan fell five years ago, the tariff revenue remained at about 2.1 million guan, an increase of 300,000 guan compared to when the Zhao family controlled Guangzhou—to be precise, it was restored to 300,000 guan. ”

"Ah, I know that!" King Jin nodded happily, "The Zhao clan of the South China Sea is the one who assassinated you five years ago and was completely destroyed by you." ”

Li Yuzhen was silent for a moment, "It's not that I collapsed." ”

How could an 800-year-old family be destroyed by her alone?

It was the giant tree that had decayed, and everyone pushed it.

King Jin blinked his eyes and hehe, "Yes, yes, they brought about their own destruction." "Destroyed by you and the saints.

Li Yuzhen decisively decided not to continue the topic with him, she turned her head and looked at the leafy tung oil trees outside the window, the thin ice eyes seemed to be soaked in the cold air of the ice basin in the room, revealing a bit of coldness:

As soon as Zhao fell, the Guangzhou tariff increased by 300,000 guan - but this was only on the surface: Zhao passed guò various means to embezzle and conceal tariffs. Secretly, there are even larger numbers, which do not go through the market at all.

This even greater profit is at sea: one is smuggling, and the other is piracy.

The Zhao clan's smuggling merchant group and the smuggling pirate group have been destroyed, and the imperial court sailors have seized more than 4 million guan of goods, but the Zhao clan has definitely smuggled and looted more than these four million guan of property over the years - where did the more huge amount of goods go?

Jing'an Division has been investigating.

However, the clues found several times have been cut off, and there has been no clear progress so far.

When he saw the slap in Sheng Yunian, Li Yuzhen felt that he could be a bait.

Of course, doing bait is incidental.

After she sat back on the bookcase, she took a pen and wrote a note, rolled it up, and put it into a book. ”

Yan Chaoyin is the person in charge of the Lingnan East Bureau of the Jing'an Division.

Ling Hulin promised, hid the copper pipe and retreated.

The guard at the door entered the door and said, "The imperial physician Hu Rulin has something to see." ”

Li Yuzhen sighed secretly and said, "See." ”

Thinking in my heart, what did Hu Rulin come to do?

Cholera has been resolved, the most common disease that appears after the disaster is summer heat, and other common diseases do not need to be solemnly attended by the imperial doctor.

Hu Rulin came in and saluted: "See Your Highness." He took out a notebook, got up and handed over the book case with both hands, and said after retreating, "This is a medical treatise written by Shen Zhiyuan Daoist, and after reading it last night, Xia Guan felt that it should be submitted immediately." Your Highness, please take a look. ”

His expression and voice were a little excited, and it was obvious that he couldn't calm down now.

Li Yuzhen raised his eyebrows and reached out to pick up the paper.

The last line of the title book: "On the medical treatment of things".

The handwriting is thin and thin like tendons, but it is thin without losing its flesh, clear and strange, folding the pen and hiding the edge, and the side is like an orchid bamboo wind and bones......

Li Yuzhen raised his eyebrows again.

This is not Yan Liu's calligraphy, but Xue Yao's penmanship - which is rare.

It is a little more slender than Xue Ti, and a little more sharp.

It is like a knife, like a bending iron and breaking gold.

- This is ...... Shen Qingyi's words?

Li Yuzhen lowered his eyebrows.

Open the notebook and look at the ten lines at a glance.

The further back she looked, the more solemn her expression became.

After reading it quickly, her eyes sank for a while, and then she turned it back, word by word, and read it carefully.

For a long time, she raised her eyes.

There was an indescribable glint in the thin ice eyes.

"Shen Zhiyuan, not a doctor."
