Chapter 212: Dizhou Flood
"Sage, Dizhou came to report, the Dizhou River overflowed, flooding more than 2,000 homes, fortunately, the rescue was timely, so it did not cause too many casualties, Dizhou Thorn Shi asked, how to deal with it?"
The head of the household is still the same as the auxiliary yuan.
Li Jing's face is a little not good-looking, do you still need to ask about this?
Since there is a disaster, of course, we must do our best to provide disaster relief, and we should resettle the victims and resettle the victims.
"Do these things still need to be asked? Since there is a flood, the disaster relief that should be done, if he can't even do this little thing, he doesn't have to be a thorn in the history!"
"I haven't heard of any heavy rainstorms in Dizhou this year, why did the river overflow and even submerge more than 2,000 people?"
Li Jing was very curious, he had not received any complaints about heavy rainstorms, which could lead to flooding.
At the end of the day, the river in Dizhou rose and overflowed and flooded the farmers.
Ge Fuyuan: "Sage, because the embankment in Dizhou has been in disrepair for a long time and it happened to be the rainy season, this caused the water of the Dizhou River to rise, overflow the riverbed, and flood the houses downstream. ”
"Although the history of the Dizhou thorn tried its best to organize manpower, it was unable to repair the river embankment due to the lack of money and food.
To put it bluntly, this time the history of the Dizhou assassination was played, and he wanted to take this opportunity to ask the court for money and food.
How much of the money and grain allocated by the imperial court will be used to strengthen the river embankment and use it on the victims.
Li Jing: "How much food does Dizhou Assassin need, if the household department checks it correctly, it will be sent to Dizhou." ”
This kind of thing, can't you just do it directly, do you need to tell him?
"The amount of money and grain that Dizhou wants has been verified, but there is not so much money in the imperial court treasury at the moment, and it is really impossible to get it out at this time!"
Ge Fuyuan was a little embarrassed, it was not that he was unwilling to allocate money and grain from the treasury to Dizhou, but he really didn't.
This year, there are more places to spend money, and although a lot of money-making projects have been developed, it is still not enough to spend.
So, Ge Fuyuan started the idea of Li Jing's internal money, and the emperor's internal money only went in and out, and he must have saved a lot of money.
Anyway, if you don't bring it in life, you don't bring it when you die, and you can keep it in the inner curtain to eat ashes, it is better to use it on the blade, and people will still say that you are good, and you don't have to put it in the inner curtain to eat ashes.
"You are the head of the household, and the money and food of the Tang Dynasty are all under your control, how to get enough money and food, that is your business."
Li Jing waved his hand, this matter of finding money and food, that is the matter of the household department.
"Sage, now the household department really can't come up with money and food, so I implore the sage to allocate money and food from the treasury to use it for disaster relief!"
Ge Fuyuan pleaded with Li Jing.
Anyway, he has no money, so he can only ask the emperor, unless the emperor doesn't care about the lives of the people, otherwise, the emperor must give this money.
Ge Fuyuan's idea of fighting the inside, Li Jing was a little angry in his heart, but he had to give it, he didn't want to be burdened with the infamy of greedy for money and ignoring the lives of his people.
"Since the household department has no money and food, then help the household department from my internal money first, and wait for when the household department has money, when to pay it back, if you feel too much pressure, you can also pay in installments!"
If you want to trick him, there is no door, I really think that he Li Jing is something you can handle at will.
It doesn't matter if you want his money, it will be lent to you, and it will be borrowed and repaid, and it is not difficult to borrow again!
If you can't come up with so much money at once, it doesn't matter, he is a very good talker, you can pay in installments, as long as you pay the money back!
The civil and military officials were shown off by Li Jing's sassy operation, and Shen Tuoma's disaster relief money and food were borrowed, isn't this what you should do?
As the Son of Heaven and Lord of the peoples, is it not your duty to help your people when they are in trouble?
Although the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was shameful about Li Jing's behavior, no one dared to say it.
"The minister obeys the order, but how much grain can I take out from the internal treasury this time?"
Ge Fuyuan asked.
"Give as much as you need for disaster relief, Ximenyang, this matter will be handed over to you and Ge Aiqing!"
"No!"
Ximen Yang and Ge Fuyuan saluted.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is still something to do."
Li Jing asked.
"The ministers have nothing to do."
The civil and military officials replied with a salute.
"Then retreat!"
Li Jing got up to leave, and the civil and military officials saluted and sent Li Jing out of the Xuanzheng Palace, and then got up and walked out of the Xuanzheng Palace.
Ge Fuyuan found Ximenyang, directly took out a list, and handed it to Ximenyang.
"What is this?"
Ximenyang opened the folded list and asked.
"Here's a list of the relief money needed for this disaster."
Ge Fu Yuan Dao.
"Oops! Why so many? ”
After Ximenyang read the list, he was very surprised!
In that place, even if the river embankment is damaged, it won't cost so much money!
If this is done, the internal budget will be directly reduced by one-third, and the disaster in Dizhou will not be controlled?
"When I went to court just now, didn't you say that the disaster was not serious? Why do you need so much money? Ge Shangshu, should you give me an explanation, if the sage asks, it would be better to have an explanation. ”
Ximenyang is not stupid, he wants so much money, there must be something greasy in this, Ximenyang even thinks that Ge Fuyuan is planning to take advantage of this opportunity to make up for the deficit of the household department.
If that's the case, you can't agree to anything, it's obviously your household's business, and the saint can come up with money to relieve your urgent need, which is already generous and benevolent.
It is truly hateful that you do not want to thank the emperor for his grace, but try to take money from the inner money of the saints!
"I said this in the court just now, in order to ease the heart of the saint, recently the saint has been working on state affairs, and I, as a courtier, have seen ......"
Ge Fuyuan hurriedly gave an explanation, which was nothing more than that the emperor was too tired and couldn't bear to worry about the things in the disaster area, so he didn't say the seriousness of the matter.
The main reason is that he doesn't want to block the emperor, if it weren't for the fact that the household department really couldn't come up with the money, he wouldn't have done it.
"What you said is light, this is the private treasury of the saint, not the private treasury of your household, this is lent to your household."
"If you really feel sorry for the difficulties of the saints, share the worries of the saints more, and don't do things that you shouldn't do."
For Ge Fuyuan's words, Ximen Yang didn't believe it very much, a minister like Ge Fuyuan had a lot of eyes, and if he wasn't careful, he would fall into their way.
"What the inner chamberlain said is that I will take it to heart!"
Ge Fuyuan showed that he was taught, but he didn't care at all in his heart, as long as the money from the internal treasury went into the treasury of his household, it would be his household's.
Ximen Yang took Ge Fuyuan to the inner house, removed several large boxes of money from it and left.
And how much money can be used where it should be used?
