Chapter 38: I will draw up the decree myself
Hearing Li Anmin's question, Fang Muduan's expression was straight.
"I think."
"The imperial court should immediately transfer grain from Daizhou."
Li Anmin was still listening attentively.
But when the word contemporary state came out, his face became solemn.
"Transferring grain from Daizhou?"
Li Anmin frowned and looked straight at Fang Muduan and said, "You're not mistaken, right?" ”
"Nope."
Fang Muduan said: "Your Majesty! Today, the flooding in Shannan Province is so severe that hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced. ”
"And the grain stored in all parts of Shannan Province has basically been used."
"But in the face of such natural disasters, it is still a drop in the bucket."
"And most of my household department was hollowed out due to the locust plague in the northwest last year."
"If we transfer grain from the household department again, I am afraid that it will shake the national capital."
"Now the only place where there is grain in our dynasty is Daizhou."
"Therefore, the minister feels that he should immediately transfer grain from Daizhou to help Shannan......"
Didn't wait for him to finish.
Li Anmin's slap fell on the table.
"Nonsense!"
"The grain in Daizhou is the military food for the soldiers of Yanmen Pass!"
Li Anmin said in a shocking voice: "If all the grain is transferred, what will the soldiers of Yanmen Pass eat and drink?" Do you want to let me watch my soldiers starve? ”
When it started.
Li Anmin thought it was his son's problem.
That's why Li Wenqian was scolded away and kicked others.
But now that I heard Fang Muduan say this, it didn't seem to be the case at all.
This clearly shows that there is a problem with Fang Muduan's proposed disaster relief strategy.
Not to mention whether the mobilization of 100,000 soldiers and civilians of grain and grass can save the disaster in Shannan Province.
Just talk about the soldiers here, once they run out of food and grass, what will they eat and drink?
To know.
Border soldiers can be a guarantee of national security.
If the disaster of Shannan Province caused chaos in the soldiers of the border pass in the north, it would not only be shaken by the foundation.
If one is not handled well, it will be the disaster of the country!
"Fang Mu Duan."
"You've been thinking about it here for half a month."
Li Anmin's face was gloomy to the extreme: "Just come up with such an idea for me to drink water to quench my thirst, right?" ”
Seeing Li Anmin's eyes.
Fang Muduan's cold sweat came down.
"Your Majesty."
"In the past few years, there have been many disasters and disasters, and there has been a food shortage in various places."
"Even Kannai Province is not peaceful now, and the minister really can't raise money and food."
Fang Muduan is not a fool, he knows which is more important.
If there was any other way, he would not have put his mind on military rations.
Li Anmin looked at him straight and did not speak.
Just when the atmosphere became more and more awkward, Zhou Qi, who had just finished changing his clothes, ran in from outside.
However, before Zhou Qi could speak, Li Anmin swept over with a cold look: "Get out!" ”
“……”
Zhou Qiren was stupid.
What's wrong with letting yourself go?
Although he didn't know what the situation was, he didn't dare to disobey Li Anmin's order and retreated.
"Wait!"
When he retreated to the door of the main hall, Li Anmin stopped him again.
Zhou Qi hurriedly bowed: "What does Your Majesty command?" ”
"Go and call Lord Shangguan."
"No!"
Zhou Qi took the order and left.
It didn't take long.
Shangguan Yuanji walked in from outside.
"Your Majesty!"
Shangguan Yuanji bowed and saluted.
"Hmm."
Li Anmin waved his hand indifferently and said in a deep voice: "Do you know that Fang Muduan wants to mobilize Daizhou's grain to Shannan Dao?" ”
glanced at Fang Muduan, who was standing beside him.
Shangguan Yuanji also roughly guessed what was going on: "The minister knows." ”
Hear this.
Li Anmin's brows twitched: "This means that this matter is discussed by the two of you?" ”
"Yes!"
Shangguan Yuanji directly admitted.
"The disaster is urgent."
"I'll wait for a few days for the officials to discuss together."
"In the end, everyone felt that this was the only way to work."
Shangguan Yuanji said: "At the moment of the catastrophe, the people are living in dire straits, and we have no choice, Your Majesty." ”
"Huh!"
Li Anmin smiled nervously.
"There's no choice."
"The outside world says that you two are my brains and my right-hand men."
"But I never expected that the two of you would come up with such an idea for disaster relief in the end."
"Do you remember what the grain and grass in Daizhou are used for?"
"Do you know how much grain and grass there is in Daizhou, and how many people are affected in Shannan Province?"
Li Anmin slapped the table and roared: "Even if the entire Daizhou is filled in, it is enough to save the lives of a few people? ”
What really made him angry was not that they were going to embezzle military rations for disaster relief.
It's that they, as court officials, don't know about the situation in Daizhou at all.
Dai State.
There are indeed reserves of military rations.
That's just enough for 100,000 people for a few months.
Hundreds of thousands of people in Shannan Province have been affected, and it is likely that these grains will be a drop in the bucket.
In this case, what is the point of doing this at the risk that the border pass may be crushed by the enemy?
Li Anmin's face was gloomy and he said, "I want to ask you two, are you planning to let me destroy the country?" ”
"Ministers are afraid ......"
Shangguan Yuanji and Fang Muduan said in unison, and then knelt on the ground together.
"Panic? Hehe! ”
"I don't see the slightest bit of fear on your part."
Li Anmin walked down the steps slowly, came to the two of them, and said, "I can see what you mean." ”
"The reason why you got along with this idea."
"Aren't you just waiting for me to come back and veto you?"
"You want to put the basin on my head that is not good for the disaster and causes the people to be displaced, right?"
Most of the people who can sit on the throne of the emperor are not fools.
What's more, Li Anmin is still an emperor who came out of the battlefield.
His wisdom is not comparable to ordinary people.
And at this moment, he could see at a glance the thoughts of these courtiers, which clearly showed that he wanted to dump the pot.
It's ridiculous to say.
In the face of such a catastrophe, the people are still living in dire straits.
But his courtiers began to think about how to protect themselves.
"Don't you think?"
"You can't do anything without me?"
Li Anmin looked at the two of them with his head raised and said, "Do you think that if you didn't come up with ideas, I wouldn't be able to cure this disaster?" ”
The two looked at each other, but neither spoke.
"Good!"
"In this way, I can see your attitude."
Li Anmin's eyes became firm: "I might as well tell you today that not a single grain of military rations is allowed to be moved, and you don't need to ask about this disaster, I will find someone to save it myself!" ”
After saying that.
Li Anmin walked straight back to the table, and said in a shocking voice: "Get out!" ”
"Wait for the resignation!"
Shangguan Yuanji and Fang Muduan got up tremblingly and slowly retreated.
Wait for the two to leave.
Li Anmin suddenly raised his head and said, "Zhou Qi! ”
"The slave is here!"
Zhou Qi walked in quickly from outside.
"Grinding."
Li Anmin's eyes were deep and said: "I want to draw up the decree myself!" ”
