Ji Zhao took a step forward with Chao Wat in his hand and asked tentatively,

"Then Your Highness has any good way to deal with the flood?"

If it is an incompetent person in a high position and a corpse, then he doesn't mind setting up a new monarch for Tianlan.

Ji Zhao had already heard about the former prince, and the cat in it could guess it if he thought about it carefully. The reason for letting it go is just that Li Chengren is not a candidate for Mingjun, so it is better to push the boat down the river and help the third prince to take the throne.

However, the courage of this eldest princess is impressive, but I don't know if this ability to deal with court politics can be compared with the first emperor.

Although she had taught Li Xinghe for a few days before, she still had to make her own decisions about this political matter, and Yu Tianlan didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse for women to be in power.

Li Xinghe hung his head, hiding the depth in his eyes. Thinking back to some of the ancient books I read in my previous life, I used to soak in the library when I had nothing to do, and I especially loved the six classics and three histories, and the subset of the classics and histories, and now, it can be regarded as handy. Li Xinghe repeatedly considered the wording, the affairs of a country must be cautious,

"There are three strategies, the upper policy is artificial diversion, the middle policy is diversion, and the lower policy is to thicken the original embankment at a high price. The distance between the embankments is too narrow, and the embankment line is curved and changeable, on this basis, the embankment is reinforced, resulting in poor flood discharge, how can the flood be controlled. If the talent is not matched, Zhen and Chen Aiqing will give up this position and let the talented person prevail. ”

In order to consolidate the imperial power, the first emperor cultivated a large number of powerful people, which also blocked the way for low-level scholars to enter politics.

It is not uncommon for officials to sell official porridge in private, give and receive money privately, and trade money and power, so they can only rely on the old ministers led by Ji Zhao to support them. But they will eventually grow old, and when the time comes, if there is no fresh blood injected into the previous dynasty, it will only be difficult for the rivers to go down.

After speaking, the ministers were in an uproar, Ji Zhao's eyes lit up, this strategy for controlling the water coincided with what he thought, but his conclusion was also the result of gathering dozens of people, but as far as he knew, there was only one young man from the Rong family around the eldest princess, Ji Zhao thought.

"The matter of controlling the flood is only a rough idea, and the specific measures need to be discussed carefully with the ministers, if there are better proposals from the ministers, you might as well come and listen to it." Li Xinghe said.

The flood is particularly complicated, it is greatly affected by geographical factors, and she still needs to have detailed information to make a good policy, and these things are not something she can do alone, she still needs to brainstorm, Li Xinghe thought to himself.

"Your Highness, Weichen has objections, there are wars going on in the front, and the grain and herbs should be close to the front line." The military department Shangshu said in a somewhat anxious tone.

"Indeed, if the front line is not replenished in time due to grain and grass logistics, it may change the situation of this war." Ji Zhao agreed with the view of the military department Shangshu and said.

Li Xinghe was also a little embarrassed at this time, his brows were furrowed, and his lips were slightly pursed. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the front line are inseparable from the logistical support of grain and grass, but the victims in the southeast cannot be left alone.

"Your Highness, you should make a choice before major national events, and if you have no country, you will have no home, and I think those victims will also understand Your Highness." The military department Shangshu said on the side.

Li Xinghe didn't care about what Bing Shushang said, he just asked lightly,

"Is the treasury full today?"

Hearing this question, Tobe Shangshu immediately stood up and replied,

"Fortunately, the first emperor implemented the policy of recuperation for decades, and the people became rich, so the tax revenue naturally increased, and the treasury was naturally full."

Li Xinghe nodded, pondered for a moment and said,

"The state buys the surplus grain in the hands of the people at a high price to relieve the victims, and if the folk squires have spontaneous donations and donations, the state will award rewards, and I don't know if there is anything wrong with this proposal of the palace."

If she is asked to give up the lives of tens of thousands of people, Li Xinghe may not be able to do it, she can't afford so many dead souls, so she can only save more people's lives by herself and tide over the difficulties together.

"What Your Highness said should be beneficial to the people, but the war is fought with real money, and the chariots, horses, baggage, grain, grass and medicine do not need money?"

The military department Shangshu was the first to jump out and object, not that he didn't care about the lives of tens of thousands of victims, but that Tianlan couldn't lose this war.

Li Xinghe rubbed his temples with a little headache, it turned out that the emperor was really a high-risk profession, and the ancients did not deceive me, it was less than an hour, and Li Xinghe felt that his brain was buzzing.

Patience, Li Xinghe continued to consult with these ministers and said,

"Raise money for donations. The head of the household department will present the budget for this war in a moment and make it public! ”

The last sentence Li Xinghe said sonorously and forcefully, and in an instant, the court suddenly discussed, and the surprised expressions of the courtiers were all on their faces.

The old ministers led by Ji Zhao were also puzzled, there was no precedent for the country to make its financial situation public, what did the eldest princess want to do? Ji Zhao was also a little unable to see through it for a while.

"Treat each other with sincerity, if we have no evidence, it is like ordinary people opening their mouths to ask for money, which is discredited. In addition, corruption has been rampant in recent years, and if it is not transparent enough, it is not known whose pocket this donation has entered, so how can we help the victims? Li Xinghe said in a deep voice.

At this time, the ministers were silent, and none of the people standing in the palace were greedy for some silver taels, but more or less were all based on their conscience.

"Weichen respectfully obeys His Highness's decree."

It was Ji Zhao who took the lead in expressing his attitude, and the ministers who followed him also expressed their attitudes.

Fortunately, most people still put national affairs first, and if they still don't repent in the face of the national crisis, Li Xinghe may have to make an example of him.

"That being the case, then this matter will be handed over to the head of the household department Shangshu to be fully responsible, don't let the palace down, and don't let the tens of thousands of victims chill their hearts. There is also the war in front of the grain and grass, if you let the palace know who dares to make a fortune and embezzle food and wages, then wait for the disaster to affect the old and the young. ”

Anyone can say ruthless words, but they also have to be matched with a fierce expression, which is a bit of a test of Li Xinghe's acting skills.

"The ministers will not disappoint His Highness and the people." Hubu Shangshu held the Chao Wat in his hand and bowed his head.

"Then later, I will stay in the Ministry of Works, and the three of them will discuss the matter of water control in detail in the side hall later." Although the three people pointed out by Li Xinghe are from the lineage of Shoufu Ji Zhao, they have all climbed up with real talent and real learning, so that the water control strategy launched will be easier to succeed.

"Weichen respectfully obeys His Highness's decree." The three of them replied in unison.
