In the early morning of mid-May, the sky is clear, the sky is in full swing, in front of the Chongde Palace, with the roll call of the ceremonial officials, the ministers enter in turn.

Huang Qiong's gray beard was raised high, her eyes were full of fighting spirit, and she stepped into the hall with a majestic spirit.

Your Majesty has been a little too self-righteous recently, and has begun to mess around with national affairs, but he is too young to understand that there are rules for everything in this world, and even the emperor can't do whatever he wants.

When all the ministers stood up in order, Liu Zhi walked out unhurriedly.

After the visit, the ministers sat down one after another, Liu Zhi looked around, and found that several people were eager to try.

Liu Zhi pretended not to see it, and took the initiative to provoke the topic, "Dasi Nong, how is the situation of grain and grass raising these days?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the time is too short, only two or three out of ten, the granary in Kyoto is in an emergency, please ask Your Majesty to order the transfer of grain from the five prefectures of Bingzhou, Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Gunzhou, and Xuzhou."

Dasi Nong Zhang Xin replied in a deep voice.

Liu Zhi frowned slightly, "Didn't you say that Qingzhou had a big drought this year, I'm afraid that the spring grain will not be harvested, and when the time comes, the grain will be kept for disaster relief, how can it be transferred to military rations?" ”

Zhang Xin was stunned, it's not that he didn't expect this, but the Qingzhou disaster has just begun, and it's hard to say how the follow-up will be.

What's more, since Emperor Guangwu, the local warehouses are no longer under the jurisdiction of Dasi Nong, but have been delegated to the states and counties.

After thinking about it, Liu Zhi said: "In this way, Yizhou has been rich in recent years, and the grain and grass will be raised by itself, and the grain and grass in Yizhou will be reduced by three percent this year, what do you think?" ”

This is not a bad way, do it cheaply, do not need to be transported long distances, it is time-consuming and laborious, everyone whispered a little discussion, and then successively expressed their approval.

"Over there in Liangzhou, you first transfer a batch of grain, and then raise another batch in Bingzhou and Yuzhou, and as for the future, see how the war situation is before making a decision."

As a result, the pressure on Dasi Nong dropped sharply, and naturally he had nothing to say, "No, the first batch of grain and grass has been prepared, and the minister will go to arrange the transportation." ”

Now that the national strength is weakening, it is important to fight a quick war, which Duan Xi had discussed before he set off, and he was also given the power to make temporary decisions.

But fighting a war is a very complicated matter, in addition to the ability of the main general to dispatch troops, the time, place, and people are indispensable, so no one can say when the war will be fought.

You can only take one step at a time.

However, this interruption made the topic crooked, and Liu Zhi took the opportunity to discuss disaster prevention and mitigation matters in Qingzhou with the ministers.

"According to the usual practice, in addition to opening local warehouses to provide grain relief in the drought, it is also necessary to release water from the upstream to solve the danger of drinking water."

During the Eastern Han Dynasty, Guangluxun was mainly responsible for disaster relief, and Guanglu doctors or brown people were often sent as disaster relief ambassadors to supervise the deployment in disaster areas.

But Liu Zhizhi privately thought that Guangluxun's usual duties were equivalent to those of the palace chief, mainly responsible for the emperor's advisers, guards, attendants, and reception.

Therefore, it is a bit nondescript to send disaster relief, which is also a representative of the confusion of the Eastern Han court's powers.

However, he didn't plan to move for the time being, after all, Guangluxun lived in the forbidden middle and belonged to the emperor's close ministers, so he could know the progress of the disaster relief more conveniently.

The previous Guanglu Xun Dong Liang was also an upright man, and when he eliminated Liang Ji's henchmen, he did not move him.

"Dong Liang, what is your opinion on the disaster situation in Qingzhou?"

Who knew that Dong Liang replied very neatly: "Whatever Your Majesty commands, the ministers will do, and everything will be arranged by Your Majesty." ”

Liu Zhi has a big head for a while, this person is quite loyal, but he is really not suitable for disaster relief, and it is no wonder that he is not to blame, after all, he is still in command of the Yulin Army and the soldiers of the period, and he is a military attaché.

"If disasters occur frequently today, except for the earth movement, all other disasters of floods and droughts can be prevented.

At that time, Emperor Guangwu and Emperor An, and Emperor Hedi all dynasties extensively repaired water conservancy, so the drought and flood were guaranteed, and the degree of disaster was reduced a lot.

By the time of the first emperor, it gradually decreased, and the water conservancy had not been repaired for many years. ”

The construction of water conservancy projects is a major event for the benefit of the country and the people, and the power of water conservancy maintenance in the former Han Dynasty was uniformly allocated by the state, and the power of water conservancy maintenance in the Later Han Dynasty was delegated to the states and counties.

Flexibility is increased, but in reality organizational capacity is greatly reduced, and a river often flows through several counties or even states, while most of the disasters occur downstream.

Therefore, there were contradictions during the construction, and they passed the buck to each other, resulting in disrepair year after year.

This is a matter related to the people's livelihood and social welfare, and the ministers did not dare to be careless, so they had to keep the previous matter in their hearts and began to discuss the water conservancy project.

Dasikong Yuan Tang was already in charge of the national water conservancy, so it was naturally incumbent on him.

"The minister thought that the water conservancy construction should be returned to the imperial court, planned in a unified manner, and arranged by the government to build several states at the same time, so as to be effective."

Basically, everyone agreed with this proposal, and no one spoke out to oppose it, Liu Zhi also nodded, "Yes." ”

"It's just that building water conservancy costs people and money, and now in the year of the catastrophe, I'm afraid it will be difficult to organize large-scale water conservancy projects."

On the contrary, Liu Zhi felt that poverty and weakness were not an excuse, and the conditions in the sixties and seventies in later generations were as difficult, and it was not because of the water conservancy.

As long as everyone is united, even shoulder-to-shoulder is not a problem.

"There are quite a lot of displaced people after the disaster, and they can be gathered this autumn to exchange labor for rations, and only water conservancy can be provided, and the wind and rain can be smooth next spring."

Everyone was stunned, this idea is novel, it not only solves the problem of the flood of displaced people, but also solves the problem of laborers who build water conservancy, why not do it.

"Your Majesty's proposal is clever, for the great plan of the country, the merit is in the present generation, and the benefit is in the generations!"

Shang Shu ordered Yuan Xuan to immediately jump out and blow the conch, and the ministers behind him followed one after another, changing their tricks and singing praises of virtue.

Liu Zhi's face was full of joy when he heard it, like a spring breeze, this cultural person who has read the Four Books and Five Classics is different, and he is so elegant and beautiful when he pats his ass.

He just wanted to see how these people were touting themselves at this time, and how they would be embarrassed to turn their faces and be ruthless later, accusing him, the emperor, of doing something wrong.

When their praise came to an end, Liu Zhi slowly asked, "Do you still have anything to do?" ”

This is a routine question at the end of the meeting, indicating that there is nothing to do, and everyone can dismiss the meeting.

As soon as I heard this, some people were anxious, and they came prepared one by one, but they were pulled a lot by him, and now nothing has been done.

Taiwei Huang Qiong made a look, and the servant Han Kuang was about to stand up, but was preempted by Shangshu Zhou Fang.

"The Shangshutai organization is huge and scattered, and the six Cao go back and forth between the Taiwei Mansion and the Shangshutai, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the efficiency is low."

As soon as these words came out, Huang Qiong's nerves immediately tensed, and his years of life in the sea made his political sense extremely keen.

Immediately sensing the unusual aura, his eyebrows were raised, and he exchanged glances with several subordinate officials of the Taiwei Mansion.

Shangshu Sun Pre also followed closely, "Our Shangshutai affairs are heavy, involving all aspects of the imperial court, but the official rank is too low, and if the name is not right, it is not good, and it is very inconvenient to do things." ”

The full court of ministers couldn't help but hold their breath, what is the situation?

Is Shang Shutai fighting for office?

Everyone looked at each other, looked at Shang Shuling Yuan Xu, looked at Taiwei Huang Qiong, and then looked at the smiling emperor above......

Xiao Jiujiu is fighting in his heart, which side should they stand on later?
