Chapter 5: What qualifications do you have to bet with me?

"Your Majesty, Huang Shilang is dedicated to the people and has done his best for my country, and he should be rewarded."

"Your Majesty, you can add an official to Huang Shilang and let him supervise the disaster in the south."

Listening to the advice of these wall-riding officials, Zhao Xuan frowned and felt absurd in his heart.

When Zhang Taiheng and Li Mingpu wanted to kill Huang Maocai just now, they all knew how to protect themselves, and no one was willing to stand up and speak up.

After seeing that they had a clear stance and supported each other, these guys jumped out one by one.

are all a bunch of old oilmen of officialdom who have no bones, and the Great Liang Dynasty is maintained by these people? It is not far from the end of the country.

However, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but listen to their suggestions.

Huang Maocai is a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and he has also added an official to the knighthood, either the secretary of the ministry, or the prime minister of the court.

For a while, where did Zhao Xuan find a suitable official title to give to the other party, but fortunately, Huang Mao understood Zhao Xuan's difficulties, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the minister's personal honor and disgrace of the official title is a small matter, and the disaster in the south is a big matter, I just ask Your Majesty to give the minister a will, and let the minister personally go to Jiangnan to supervise this matter." ”

Zhao Xuan immediately issued an order, "Feng Guang drafted an edict to appoint Huang Shilang as the minister of the Qin Mission and supervise the floods in the south." ”

After Huang Maocai was appointed as the minister of the Qincha, Zhao Xuan asked about the specific situation of the flood.

"Why the floods in the south are rampant, and how do local officials deal with them, Huang Maocai, you tell me in detail one by one."

Seeing that Zhao Xuan rarely paid attention to the people's suffering, Huang Maocai was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Back to Your Majesty, it rained heavily in the south this summer, and the river embankment fell into disrepair, and local officials called on the people to repair the river embankment, but the effect was not good, the river flooded, and many places were diverted. ”

Speaking of this, Huang Mao was full of sadness.

"Your Majesty, the river has been diverted, the fertile fields have been flooded a lot, the people have suffered heavy casualties, the corpses have not been disposed of in time, the plague is rampant, there are already several empty cities in the south of the Yangtze River, the ministers are true in every word, and they will never lie."

When Zhao Xuan heard this, his brows furrowed.

The outbreak of floods in ancient times was inevitably accompanied by plagues, because there were too many people who died, not only many people died, but also many animals died, and the corpses of people and animals were soaked in the flood for a long time, and if they were not dealt with in time, the plague naturally spread.

Therefore, Zhao Xuan said to Huang Maocai, "The embankment is in disrepair, the river is diverted, it has become a fact, rebuild the embankment, do not show, blindly encircle the water, it will only intensify, this method, the ancient Dayu water control has told us, it is better to sparse than to block, build dams, open canals, and introduce the broken river water into other lakes and rivers, which can not be blocked." ”

"Your Majesty."

"God bless my beam!"

Zhao Xuan's strategy of controlling the water made the hundred officials in the hall stunned.

They didn't expect that Zhao Xuan, who was plain and mediocre, would know how to control water.

Local officials naturally know that it is better to block than to dredge, but no one dares to risk being beheaded and let the river be diverted, after all, it will affect countless fertile fields.

Now with the emperor's will, the control of the flood will naturally be twice the result with half the effort.

Seeing that Zhao Xuan proposed a solution to the flood so easily, Huang Mao struck while the iron was hot, "Your Majesty, there is a strategy to control the water, please give Your Majesty another strategy for epidemic prevention." ”

Others, Zhao Xuan doesn't know, as a medical dog, epidemic prevention, he couldn't be clearer.

"First, all the places in the south that have been affected by the plague should be isolated, otherwise let the people wander, otherwise, the plague will spread to the entire Great Liang Dynasty."

"Second, all people must wear masks when traveling, masks can be made of cotton, and after wearing masks, they must be boiled and used again."

"Third, set up a medical hall, collect plague pharmacies from all over the world, gather the people in Langzhong, and I will also send the imperial doctor to the local area."

"Fourth, all the places of isolation must be disinfected, disinfected with quicklime, and all bodies must be incinerated."

"If you neglect it, you will be decided."

"Minister Huang Maocai, obey the order."

Huang Mao just wanted to take the order, but he was stopped by Zhao Xuan, "Plague patients, you can eat more fruits to effectively relieve your symptoms." Aiqing can dispatch fruits from all over the country for defense. ”

Isn't this VC deficiency?

Just eat fruits and vegetables.

"Your Majesty, the south is rich in fruits, and fruits can prevent epidemics, is it appropriate?"

"Your Majesty, the flood in the south, the transportation of fruits will not change, and it will rot in the road, this is not appropriate."

"Your Majesty, there are many kinds of fruits, you can't generalize, let the patient eat fruit, it won't help, I hope Your Majesty will think twice."

Other measures are okay, but eating more fruits can prevent the epidemic, everyone felt that Zhao Xuan was messing around, and for a while, everyone advised one after another.

"Needless to say, do what I want."

Zhao Xuan didn't bother to talk nonsense with these guys, couldn't it be difficult to tell them what sepsis is and what vitamins are to tell them?

In the same way, these guys probably forgot that since there are parallel goods in the south, the fruit will naturally rot, which is not conducive to storage.

It's like where floods are severe, there is often a lack of references to water.

Naturally, these guys don't understand these truths, and Zhao Xuan doesn't bother to talk nonsense with them.

So, in the seriousness of everyone, Zhao Xuan is still the mediocre and incompetent king, and the strategy he proposed to block the water is not as good as the water control, as well as the epidemic prevention strategy mentioned earlier, it is estimated that someone is giving him advice behind his back.

It's just another interpretation of why not eat minced meat.

Suddenly, the thoughts that had originally been looking forward to him fell back into the stomach, and the thoughts of taking refuge in Zhang Taiheng and Li Mingpu's interest group became active again.

Seeing this, Huang Mao sighed softly, but didn't say anything.

When he was a county magistrate in the local area, he had a lot of experience in water control and epidemic prevention strategies, but they were not as comprehensive as Zhao Xuan's policies.

Therefore, he firmly believes that Zhao Xuan is not messing around.

Looking at him as Mo Yang who was smeared for His Majesty, everyone secretly laughed in their hearts, and the two fools got together and were a perfect match.

At this time, Zhang Taiheng, who was beaten, and Prime Minister Li Mingpu also limped in from outside the main hall.

I heard that Zhao Xuan asked the people to eat fruits for epidemic prevention, and he also called it ridiculous.

"It's just nonsense."

"Huang Maocai, Your Majesty doesn't understand, don't you understand either? You're just disregarding human life. ”

They didn't dare to scold Zhao Xuan, but they could scold Huang Maocai.

However, everyone knows that they are pointing at Sang and scolding Huai.

Seeing this, Zhao Xuan sneered, "Don't take your ignorance as superior. ”

Zhang Taiheng and Prime Minister Li Mingpu suddenly glanced at each other, and the former looked at Zhao Xuan, "Since Your Majesty is convinced that fruits can prevent epidemics, why don't we bet?" ”

Bet?

A household secretary is openly in the court, making a bet with the current saint?

Isn't that ridiculous, is it?

Huang Maocai was the first to jump out and objected clearly, "Ridiculous, Zhang Shangshu, remember your identity, how can you be so presumptuous." ”

Not only him, but also the secretary of the Ministry of Rites also jumped out, "Lord Zhang, the bet between His Royal Highness and His Majesty does not conform to the ancestral etiquette, and please remember the duty of a courtier." ”
