Chapter 301: Vice President

"Your Majesty, although the person recommended by the Ministry of Industry is proficient in water conservancy, water conservancy is only related to a small part of the Agricultural Academy, and it is not suitable for a water envoy."

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that you can't choose from the six departments!"

For a while, the ministers were chattering, Li Xingchen had a big head, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, okay, forget it, the vice president won't worry about you, I will arrange it myself at that time." ”

Li Xingchen, the president and vice president, is to be determined, and there is nothing to fight for in other positions.

For this small farming yard, the ministers didn't pay too much attention to it, so they didn't argue anymore.

"What's going on? Nothing to retreat from. ”

Li Xingchen waved his hand.

Bang! At this moment, a loud thunder came from outside the temple.

Immediately, boom, continuous rolling thunder sounded.

In an instant, lightning flashed and thundered, and it poured rain.

The ministers were taken aback.

With the arrival of the season, thunderstorms became more and more frequent, and Li Xingchen looked at the almost impermeable dense rain and felt a little uneasy.

Backward dynasties are incomparable to modern times, there is no perfect drainage system, and once there is a succession of heavy rains, there will be floods.

Throughout the dynasties, due to backward technology, natural disasters often occur, either droughts or floods, or locust plagues, rat plagues, etc., countless and varied.

However, the more backward the times, the more feudal the ideology.

According to the emperor's idea, a disaster is equivalent to a wake-up call from heaven, so that the Son of Heaven should be sympathetic to the people and be a good king.

But Li Xingchen, who came through the crossing, didn't believe this, he wanted everyone to be as anti-feudal and superstitious as him, but he knew that it was impossible.

I think that it can be started from within the imperial court and infiltrate the people little by little.

The reverse is true, the end of the story. The people are obsessed with gods and demons, go and tell them that there is no such thing, and people must not fight with you?

Therefore, it is ridiculous that the Qin Tianjian of the imperial court should be renamed the Bureau of Natural Resources, and use science to solve astronomical phenomena, rather than any astronomical phenomena, which should be summarized as a sign from heaven to the mortal world and to the emperor.

In the midst of lightning, Li Xingchen thought of something anti-superstitious.

"Your Majesty." The prime minister interrupted his thoughts, "It has been raining a lot recently, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of victims on this day." ”

As the words fell, a messenger ran into the court drenched in a wet body.

"Your Majesty, the floods in the south of the Yangtze River."

Li Xingchen twisted his eyebrows, thinking about anything.

"Crops in many places in the south of the Yangtze River have been damaged by floods, and the water is very urgent, and if we let it continue, people's houses will collapse."

The prime minister's expression was solemn, and Li Xingchen waved his hand, "Go down, I know." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The messenger withdrew.

At this moment, the time for the court meeting has passed, but there is another flood, and the courtiers have to continue to work overtime to deal with it as soon as possible.

Li Xingchen said: "This matter is urgent, the three provinces and six ministries must do their best for this, and come to me when they are in trouble." ”

As an emperor, not everything has to be personally involved, as long as you express your opinions and intentions on the things that come to you, the people below will know what to do.

For example, in this flood, there is nothing special in terms of allocation, money and food! But he didn't know the specific steps for other disaster relief methods.

After all, he is not a saint, it is impossible to know everything, otherwise why would he want the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs?

The prime minister, the three provinces and six ministries and other senior officials quickly gathered in a circle, and discussed for a while before telling Li Xingchen.

"Your Majesty, the ministers and others have decided to let the Jiangnan Assassin Envoy pay close attention to the flood first, and first ensure the safety of the people in Jiangnan.

As for the amount of this appropriation, the results will be discussed within today's time and shipped there. ”

Li Xingchen nodded.

"Okay, discuss the plan as soon as possible, and report back to me as soon as possible."

When there is a disaster, everything else is taken to the back burner.

Nothing is as important as the safety of the people.

After the meeting dispersed, the prime minister and the six ministries of the three provinces gathered together again to plan for the disaster.

In the afternoon, the prime minister and others went to the imperial study to find Li Xingchen.

"Your Majesty, the results of the discussion are out, please take a look." The Prime Minister placed a plan on his desk.

Li Xingchen didn't know much about the specific direction of the disaster relief plan, but as soon as he saw the dense and detailed plan above, he knew that it was a good thing.

All dynasties have experienced many disasters, and there are corresponding solutions to all kinds of disasters, which are the experiences summed up by predecessors.

Li Xingchen said with satisfaction: "Yes, the efficiency is okay." ”

The information written on the fold is very complete and the disaster prevention plan is very complete, and the overall rules and regulations are outlined, and I think it is very powerful, and there is no place to point fingers.

However, there is one point, Li Xingchen feels that something is not right, and it would be better to change it slightly.

"What is Your Majesty's dissatisfaction with?"

The prime minister was surprised, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that Li Xingchen still understands disaster relief?

If you don't know how to pretend to understand, it's simply a misguided country and a misunderstanding of the people.

"The carriage transports grain too slowly, and there is a long distance from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River.

Usually, it's just that, but now in the rainy season, there is an average of one or two days of heavy rain.

With so much food on the way, it is inevitable that something will go wrong on the way. ”

It is indeed a big problem for the prime minister and others to look at each other, but it is impossible to directly change the grain from the capital to the victims of the disaster similar to the gods.

"What do you think?" The prime minister asked.

Li Xingchen thought for a moment, "It is proposed that all parts of Jiangnan carry out disaster relief first, and the so-called one side is in trouble, and all parties will support." Jiangnan is so big, it is impossible for every city and every township and county to fall into the water, right?

Jiangnan is a wealthy area in the entire Great Wei Dynasty, and the number of rich people is no less than that of the capital, if a single flood cannot be solved by itself, it is a bit too much to ask the imperial court to allocate funds for disaster relief at every turn..."

Words, point to point.

Li Xingchen can't say that he won't provide disaster relief, otherwise it will be spread by someone with a heart, which will inevitably cause a sensation.

When the rich suffer, doesn't the state care?

The poor are the people of the Great Wei, and the rich are not the people of the Great Wei, right?

Otherwise, the poor will suffer from disasters, and the court will provide relief. If the rich are affected by a disaster, the imperial court will let them solve it themselves? How can this be true?

Giving subsidies to people who have savings and grain at home, Li Xingchen is not very happy in his heart.

Therefore, give the prime minister and the three provinces and six ministries a little reminder, they should know how to do it.

For example, on the basis of the original, it is okay to deduct it or send it.

Another example is to call on wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan to donate to the victims nearby.

For another example, it can also be divided into two forms, half of the court subsidy, half of the subsidy for the rich, and the court that participates in the donation awards a pennant.

The pennant is only worth a few dollars, and it can also guide the wind direction of one side in trouble and support from all sides!
