Chapter 439: Sticking to the Decree

"Those who are able to read and tell fortunes are fooling people, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you don't have to believe them."

"After all, you are the crown prince of the dynasty, if you believe those people, it will be bad for us in Great Xia."

Several ministers stood in the lobby, and they said everything they wanted, their faces full of helplessness.

Chen Mu lifted his eyelids and glanced in the direction of the ministers.

"How can you be sure that they are charlatans? One of the three had predicted accurately that there was a possibility of landslides and mudslides in Meicheng and the other city. ”

"That's why I brought them back, so don't think about it."

Chen Mu described what happened in Meicheng and another city to several adults.

The adults frowned.

"Your Highness the Prince, the old man's prediction of the landslide was advocated by himself, and you did not hear his prediction with your own ears, although you also asked him about the weather in other cities afterwards."

He was right, but just once or twice doesn't prove anything.

Of course, Chen Mu understood this truth, he had already tested Cao Lao and Cao Lao's senior brothers and disciples many times, and none of them missed the weather evolution.

It was precisely because of this that Chen Mu was willing to believe their words, and now seeing that these ministers were still holding on to this matter, Chen Mu frowned a little impatiently.

The ministers didn't notice the look on Chen Mu's face, and seeing that Chen Mu didn't say anything after they said this, the ministers continued to make persistent efforts.

"In addition, there is really no need to establish the weather monitoring office, how can such a large-scale natural disaster happen every year, we have established the weather monitoring office, and we have to allocate money to the officials in the government."

"We also have to maintain the operation of the government, which is also a big expense for us."

Those ministers tried to persuade Chen Mumo to waste money, but Chen Mu sneered.

When those adults heard Chen Mu's voice, they were so frightened that they looked up in the direction of Chen Mu, and Chen Mu said expressionlessly.

"People, I've already sent it out, and the matter of this decree has been arranged, do you want me to change the decree?"

The ministers looked at each other apprehensively.

"But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......"

"Needless to say, if this time, the two small towns really broke out in the floods, and the people of that town were moved to the high ground in the future, and the towns were destroyed due to the impact of the floods......"

"I'll send you to those two small towns, so that you can help the disaster."

Disaster relief is not an easy job, and besides, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry again.

If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really sent them to those two small cities for disaster relief, then they would definitely have to suffer in those two hours!

Seeing this, several adults were taken aback, and knelt down in fear, Chen Mu saw this, so he waved his hand and drove the person out.

Although the ministers of the court were dismissed, the people in Beijing were quite dissatisfied with Chen Mu's decision.

After all, Chen Mu listened to Cao Lao's words before deciding to send the minister to those two small cities.

If Chen Mu had reacted only after listening to the words of the scholars of Jingzhong University, then the people would not have felt anything.

However, the identities of Cao Lao and others are different, and as soon as Chen Mu's decree is issued now, some people immediately remember the events of the previous dynasty.

In the previous dynasty, an emperor listened to the words of the warlocks of the rivers and lakes, and made a wrong decree, which led to the invasion of the border city by the iron hooves of other tribes, which caused hundreds of people in the border city to be displaced and the people were not able to make a living.

Some people are worried that Chen Mu will be like the emperor of the previous dynasty, and there are countless complaints among the people.

After inquiring about the news, a guard sent the news to the palace.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the people in Beijing seem to be quite dissatisfied with the decree you issued, do we want to think of spreading rumors to help Cao Lao and others strengthen their momentum?"

"If Cao Lao and others are portrayed as god-like beings, maybe the people in Beijing will be willing to believe them."

The guards also planned to do so out of good intentions.

Chen Mu chuckled and waved his hand.

"No, if you do this, it will confirm the rumors in Beijing, and you don't have to help Cao Lao and the others gain momentum."

"Wait a few more days, and when the torrential rain falls, and the floods break out in those two small cities, the people of the capital will naturally be willing to believe the words of Cao Lao and others."

Having said this, Chen Mu shook his head helplessly and sighed again, fortunately, the officials he sent acted quickly.

Only one day later, he had already arrived in those two small cities, and the news sent by Chen Mu in advance had also arrived in those small cities.

Officials in the city had already begun to prepare to move the people to the nearby high ground.

In one day, all the people were moved to the nearby high ground, and the people were in a state of panic.

I heard that some adults in the capital came in a hurry, and came to their town not for anything else, but to help them avoid the impending floods.

Even the people in that city didn't want to believe the words of Cao Lao and others, and after being moved to a nearby city, some people were quite dissatisfied.

There are many folk rumors, all of which say that Chen Mu was bewitched by traitors and did such things that cost the people and money.

When the news reached the palace, Chen Mu ignored it, he calculated the time and walked out of the main hall, looking up at the sky.

The capital was not close to that small city, but even so, he could catch a glimpse of rolling dark clouds gathering in the sky, Chen Mu sighed lightly and said in a low voice.

"There is still half a day, just after this half a day, the rainstorm falls, those people in the city, as well as the people in the capital, will know that my plan is not wrong."

Meng Qing also responded, she walked from behind Chen Mu and draped the big coat on Chen Mu's body.

Now the weather is getting cooler, and although it is noon, there is a breeze blowing, but people still can't help but shiver.

Chen Mu noticed Meng Qing's movements, turned his head with a smile and glanced in Meng Qing's direction.

Meng Qing also felt quite uneasy, the words of Cao Lao and the others had indeed been confirmed several times.

But this time the stakes are high, if the city had not been flooded.

That Chen Mu listened to the assertion of the warlocks of the rivers and lakes and made the decision to work hard and lose money, and the news would also spread throughout the capital.

This is no small matter.

This will affect Chen Mu's prestige among the people.

Chen Mu is just the crown prince, and he has not yet ascended the throne, if someone takes advantage of this time to make trouble behind his back to smear Chen Mu's reputation.

Even if it affects Chen Mu's status......

Countless thoughts flashed through Meng Qing's mind, and she bit her red lips lightly, and a little sadness appeared on her face.

Chen Mu didn't care, he turned around and hugged Meng Qing, and walked towards the main hall with Meng Qing, and said at the same time.

"It's okay, the decree has been issued, no matter how much you think about it now, there's no need to hesitate, and wait for it, I believe in the judgment of Cao Lao and others."
