The light in the main hall was a little dim, and the courtiers stood neatly together, occasionally making eye contact, and then there was a whisper like a breeze, which could not be captured, but in general, it still did not leave the content of today's agenda.

On the throne, a young man in a dark crown robe sat quietly on the dragon couch, one hand on the brass dragon armrest, and his index finger inadvertently and gently pulled, making a rhythmic crisp tapping sound.

One by one, the courtiers began to go out of the line, presented the prepared folds, and then spoke out what they described in the folds and discussed them. Most of these are local government affairs, and those who are unclear will be submitted to the imperial court for decision.

Cushman began to recover from his laziness, carefully searching his mind for the contents of these folds and the policies he wanted to do about them.

"Luoyang's drought this year should not be underestimated, since March this year, Luoyang has rarely rained, Luoyang, Yecheng has hoarded a lot of victims, according to the estimation of Yousi, I am afraid that next year, Luoyang's disaster will continue like this, I implore Your Majesty to prepare early!"

Gao Wei had done his homework a few days ago, and he already had a bottom in his heart, so he pondered for a while, and slowly spoke: "I remember that Luoyang has a permanent position, stored and measured military supplies, money and grain, and used the materials to relieve the disaster, maybe ......it will work."

Immediately, another courtier stood up and said, "Your Majesty, although Luoyang Changping has stored a large amount of materials, it is indeed easy to move!" Luoyang is an important town of our Great Qi in the east against the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and all the hoarded wealth and money and grain in it are used to supplement military supplies, and they must not be used easily until the moment of extreme crisis! ”

Gao Wei frowned, but what this courtier said was not unreasonable, Luoyang was one of the most important towns of the Northern Qi Dynasty against the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and it played a reassuring role for the entire war situation, and the importance of the Northern Qi Dynasty was only after Jinyang, and even Yecheng was not as strategic as Luoyang.

Generally speaking, when the Northern Qi Dynasty replenished the source of money and grain to the battlefield in the Lingbi area, it would choose to draw troops from Jinyang, while Yecheng and the counties of all parties would supplement the main grain and grass, and both of them had an important link to complete the complex output of troops, money and grain, and this important link was Luoyang.

If Yecheng is the old nest of Northern Qi, then Jinyang is the root, and Luoyang is the stomach of Northern Qi. Without the important town of Luoyang, no matter how much soldiers, horses, money and grain can be turned over, because it can no longer be transported and consumed, and it cannot be eaten, then the fall of the eastern part of Northern Qi is almost a foregone conclusion.

When Emperor Wucheng Gao Zhan was in power, there was a time when Luoyang almost fell, at that time the Northern Qi was already in chaos, Luoyang lived around the north, and the Northern Qi army was simply unable to move an inch, and later thanks to the King of Lanling who led five hundred dead soldiers to kill in blood, and tore apart the Northern Zhou camp to relieve the siege of Luoyang, thus reversing the situation of the war in one fell swoop, and the Northern Qi won a great victory.

It was also by virtue of this merit that Gao Changgong officially squeezed into the ranks of famous generals in the Northern Qi Dynasty.

From beginning to end, it shows the importance of Luoyang. But now Cushman & Wakefield wants to use the materials in Luoyang City for disaster relief, so what should Luoyang do? Once the war at the front is tight, then the materials, money and food in Luoyang City will definitely be transferred to the front line. At that time, if Luoyang can't get the supplies, it will cause a big rout!

Therefore, the reason for this courtier is: disaster relief, but it is not possible. The imperial court should provide disaster relief, but it should not use Luoyang's money and grain for disaster relief, for fear of causing chaos in the army's mind.

Gao Wei smiled slightly, and said: "Then I will compromise, I will first mobilize some money and food, and first arrange for the victims to move away from Yecheng and Luoyang as much as possible...... What do you guys think? ”

Zhao Yanshen frowned and asked, "I wonder how Your Majesty plans to settle these victims?"

If the imperial court blindly provides relief to the victims, I am afraid that the finances will not be able to afford it.

Gao Wei said: "A few days ago, I thought of an idea. First gather these disaster victims, disrupt the distribution, and then move to various places, open up wasteland, dredge channels, repair city walls, and some things can be done for them, so that the imperial court will not support them in vain, which can not only achieve the effect of relief for the victims, but also add some input to the imperial court, why not? I have calculated that if I let the court come forward to do these things, it will cost far more than that. ”

Cushman & Wakefield borrowed from Roosevelt's approach.

There are no absolute stupid people present, and most of them can understand the deep meaning behind it with a little thought. Zhao Yanshen's old eyes flashed out, and he praised: "Good idea...... This is a good idea, with this method, not only can we provide relief to the victims and repair the river city, but more importantly, we can disperse the victims and find things to do for the victims, so that it is less likely to cause chaos! ”

The ministers thought so. Since ancient times, as long as the court is not mediocre, then it has basically attached great importance to various disasters. Putting aside all kinds of so-called Mandate of Heaven and the like, it is these victims that the court is most wary of.

Whenever there is a major drought or flood, or an earthquake disaster or something like that, the people lose their money and food and other materials for survival, and they will go into exile everywhere, and the main objects of care are of course those rich towns, such as Yecheng and Luoyang.

These victims are hungry and have nothing to do but go into exile. Once together, the combination of poverty and the despair of hunger can quickly lead to negative emotions such as pessimism. At this time, if someone has a heart to instigate in the crowd...... Then the consequences are unimaginable!

Whether it can suppress the riots or not, once the forces of the victims come together, this is a catastrophe that can shake the country's foundation!

Thinking about how Qin perished, and then looking at how the Sui dynasty that had not yet appeared, it was easy to draw conclusions.

If there is surplus money and food to support, then the Northern Qi court does not have to worry, the problem is that the Northern Qi is now very poor, and Gao Wei almost considered whether to sell Gao Rui's thousands of dumped fields a few days ago...... Do you have extra money and food to feed these victims?

However, after the introduction of this policy, all problems are not a problem, in the early stage, the imperial court will first replenish a part of the money and grain, let the victims move to various places, those who are willing to open up the wasteland, and those who are willing to build water conservancy to build water conservancy, there is always something to do, and the imperial court will still pay food. Then the imperial court doesn't need to add much after that, those who go to reclaim wasteland, there will always be the first harvest in three or four months, right? Okay, this part of the disaster has been solved, don't worry, the imperial court only needs to supply some seeds and food, as for the small number of people who are willing to work for the imperial court, they will be issued money and food on schedule, once the disaster is alleviated, they can leave on their own, and the imperial court will not stop them.

It is very convenient for the country and the people, both sides take advantage, the victims will not drag down the court, and they can also bring considerable taxes to the court, why not?

Everyone's complexion changed, and their eyes showed a look of joy, Zhao Yanshen returned to the queue, looking at Gao Wei on the throne, his eyes were full of relief and surprise.

Although Gao Wei is still unclear in many aspects, and his policy is slightly immature, Gao Wei has a strong learning ability, learns quickly, and is willing to listen to the opinions of some old ministers and ministers.

Not only him, but even some young and vigorous rising stars such as Tang Yong and Feng Zicong are also full of hope and expectation for Cushman & Wakefield.

In less than a year, the court will be stable......

So Zhao Yan bowed deeply and said, "Your Majesty is wise......"

The prime minister has spoken, can the officials below still express their expression? So all the ministers bowed down.

The corners of Gao Wei's mouth quietly curled, obviously very pleasant, as for how many of the following courtiers are sincere and how much are false, he doesn't want to delve into it for the time being, those who disobey him have survived this time, and he also has time to pull them out one by one and eradicate them!

At this time, a tall and thin figure stood up, bowed to Gao Wei, and said loudly: "Your Majesty is wise, but although Your Majesty's decree is good, I am afraid it will not be effective." ”

Cushman & Wakefield's face became gloomy and asked, "Why?"

The man replied: "Without him, there are many corrupt officials in the court and in the localities, and Your Majesty has a heart of love for the people and has mobilized military funds to help the victims, but I am afraid that Your Majesty's money and food will become completely wiped out before it reaches the hands of the victims." ”

Gao Wei's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "I personally asked, do these giant rats dare to embezzle the money and food used for disaster relief?"

He sneered, "Where is the majesty of His Majesty in their eyes? They have nothing but silver in their eyes, and they cannot do anything to get oil and water out of the people?......,

The year before last, there was a severe drought in Shandong, and the first emperor also allocated money and grain to help the victims, but as a result, the people were still struggling to make a living, and almost caused a military disaster! ……，

Why? Because the money that was allocated was not saved after being scavenged! They were all corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the ministers joined the army for the local government at that time, and the scenes of this collusion between officials and officials were witnessed by Weichen himself! ”

His words were sharp, and there was infinite indignation in his words. This is a humble scholar who was recommended by Gao Rui to enter the court, named Han Li.

Gao Wei pondered for a moment and asked, "Aiqing...... Who?"

The official surnamed Han straightened his back, his face was resolute, and he said word by word: "The minister impeached his uncle Hu Changren for corruption and perverted the law, please behead this traitor and make an example of him!" ”
