Shen Ning came to the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, and Emperor Jing sat on the bright yellow bed as before, and when he saw Shen Ning coming, he asked the inner attendant to give him a seat.

Shen Ning first took out a fold from his arms, presented it respectfully, and then sat down.

Emperor Jing flipped through this recital, and after reading it carefully for a long time, he nodded silently.

This piece of paper is about the famine in Xishu, and he asked Shen Ning to come up with some detailed ways to deal with it.

Shen Ningluo listed four methods.

Open warehouses for disaster relief, work for relief, prohibit displaced people from leaving Shu, and immigrants can eat.

The simple four ways to deal with it cover the truth that cannot be explained clearly in a few sentences.

Take the case of opening a position for disaster relief as an example:

The official warehouse of the Great Jin Dynasty is divided into Changping and Yicang, of which Fuzhou County has Changping and towns have Yicang, although both are official warehouses, but the grain of Changping is mainly purchased by the government, and the grain of Yicang is mostly collected by the government.

However, whether it is a dynasty or a dynasty, the granary of the imperial court will more or less fail to meet the standard requirements.

Even if it is to clean up all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials who watch the granary, but snakes, insects, plague, and the humid environment of Xishu, the grain is easy to mold and rot, which is also unavoidable.

In addition, most of the Changping and Yicang are concentrated in cities, and the coverage of disaster relief is limited.

Therefore, relying only on these two warehouses is not enough to quell the disaster and famine in Western Shu.

So Shen Ning mentioned that when the people were in good times, they spontaneously set up a social warehouse.

Most of the warehouses are only open to the local people, and the grain stored in them is generally sufficient and there is a surplus.

However, how to persuade the people of these prefectures and counties to open their social warehouses and rescue the victims in other areas has become a problem.

According to Shen Ning's method, a novel loan system was used.

A formal document was issued promising that all the food donated by the people who formed the community would be repaid annually in the following 10 years in accordance with a certain amount of money in order to save more victims.

As for the remote areas that could not be repaid, the imperial court raised money for disaster relief, and repaid them by increasing taxes and selling local specialties according to the annual grain harvest.

This can greatly alleviate the famine situation in Xishu Road.

However, the difficulties in implementing it can be imagined, so it is necessary to select a cadre to be able to achieve it.

Of course, the imperial court also has to allocate funds for disaster relief, and there are also private donations at the same time.

In the thirteenth year of the heyday of the Great Jin Dynasty, Jiangxi Province was famine, and the imperial court allocated a total of 12 million taels of silver.

The wealthy gentry in the famine-stricken areas also donated generously to help the villagers, and of course, the situation reported by local officials was generous, but in fact, with the acquiescence of the imperial court, no one knows whether unconventional means were used.

Although the local tyrants can donate money and materials, disasters are often accompanied by epidemics, and at this time, the imperial court's hospital needs to come in handy.

Shen Ning's suggestion was stated in a short sentence: "The epidemic is prevalent inside and outside the capital, and the small people have no money to prepare medicine...... He was ordered to select the fine doctors of Tai Hospital and distribute the local diagnosis and treatment in the five cities. ”

That is to say, the Tai Hospital, which originally served the dignitaries, needed to go to Xishu Road in an instant when the plague broke out and became the patron saint of the people.

With their superb medical skills, the imperial physicians prepared the medicines needed to treat the plague and distributed them to the people for free. In case of emergency, the imperial doctors would go out of the city to treat the people.

This is just one of them, and the involvement is so extensive and responsible, so when Emperor Jing watched Shen Ning's recital, he who had always been unfazed, and his eyes were also full of ripples, and he couldn't help but praise: "Yes, your method of dealing with Xishu Dao can be said to make my eyes shine, whether it is the method of implementation, or the solution to the problems that may be encountered in the implementation process, the solution is written, it is the result of careful consideration, and tomorrow morning, I will read this recital to all the courtiers to analyze, If it works, you've done a great job. ”

"The minister doesn't dare to take credit." Shen Ning said in a deep voice: "It is a blessing for the minister to be able to make a modest contribution to the Great Jin. ”

Emperor Jing glanced at the humble Shen Ning, and he was quite fond of it.

The young man in front of him, old and serious, with a strange treasure, is a talent that can be created, and it is not in vain that he has spent all these years of painstaking cultivation.

"It's been a while since you entered the palace, and with this recital, you were enough to enter the court as an official," Speaking of this, Emperor Jing changed his words and continued: "It's just that if you enter the court like this, in the eyes of some people, you will inevitably become a lucky one, and it will be unfavorable in the future, so you still need a credit to stop their mouths." ”

As he spoke, Emperor Jing took out a copy of the fold placed on the top of the table and asked the chamberlain to hand it to Shen Ning.

Shen Ning flipped through it, and the first thing he saw was the three words Henan Road.

Then it was: the first battle of Zucchini Road, the ministers and the demons fought for more than three months, but they were attacked by the throne demon, injured 300 Xianmen hundred monks, Fufeng Gate Taishang Elder died in battle, fortunately there was a white tiger to protect the desperate fight against the demons, so that they could retreat to Weicheng to hold on, and after the monks of Shangqingmen were dealt with, after the remnants of the demons scattered all over the place, they could join forces to attack the zucchini road to solve the crisis in Henan Road.

Shen Ning frowned slightly after reading the recital, didn't he expect that the situation in Henan Province had reached such a crisis?

Although there is no explicit statement on the fold. But Shen Ning knew that Zucchini Dao could be said to be the most elite monk who gathered the hundred schools of Xianmen to participate in the demon plague of Henan Dao, and suffered such a fiasco, even the Taishang Elder of Fufeng Gate was killed in battle, and how many ordinary monks died, it is really unimaginable!

You must know that the Taishang Elder of Fufeng Gate has been famous in the Hundred Schools of Xianmen for a long time, and it is said that he has reached the realm of the Great Heaven Rank a long time ago, and there is a vague opportunity to contact the next level.

After Shen Ning watched the recital, he immediately understood Emperor Jing's intentions, this was to hope that he could go to Henan Province to see if he could make meritorious contributions, and it was also the last test for himself.

After successfully solving the demon plague in Henan Dao, with the strategy of dealing with the disaster in Xishu Dao, and the experience of participating in the battle with the demon clan, then he will undoubtedly enter the power center of the Great Jin.

Shen Ning no longer hesitated, and immediately knelt down and said, "The minister is willing to rush to Henan Road!" ”

"Ahem..... Cough. Emperor Jing's face was always pale, he coughed dryly twice, and when he saw that Shen Ning understood his intentions, he nodded with satisfaction, but still asked: "Henan Dao is in crisis, you can count it as a life of nine deaths, have you thought clearly?" ”

"For the sake of the Great Jin, even if the minister dies in Henan Province, he has no regrets." Shen Ning's voice was sonorous and powerful.

Emperor Jing nodded, as if he had granted his request.

"Go, and when you come back, I will have another reward."

Shen Ning said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty! ”
