Chapter 109: People are more popular than people who die
When I first came back.
I heard shouting from inside the house.
Li Anmin is still very angry.
Given Li Wenqian's previous performance.
He also subconsciously meant that Li Wenqian had done something unreasonably and intolerable, which caused dissatisfaction among the ministers of the DPRK and China.
But after standing outside and listening for a while, the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong.
These guys turned out to be asking their sons to give up the territory of the country.
What is this trying to do?
Do you want him Li Anmin to be this sinner who gave up his ancestral land, or do you want his son to be this sinner?
Besides, the household has no money, and it has a hairy relationship with this kind of small city?
The people of Fubei City do not do nothing, almost every household has cattle, sheep and horses.
It's just that rice grain can't be grown, and the imperial court needs to send some low-cost rice grain over.
How much does this cost?
There is a huge Qianchao, just find a place to save a little, it is enough to feed everyone in Fubeicheng.
And heard Li Anmin's words.
Li Wenqian was also excited to jump straight to his feet.
Wine bag rice bags, these people are a group of wine bags and rice bags.
If he hadn't thought that these people would sue him when they turned around, he would have wanted to scold him a long time ago.
And all the ministers in the field, you look at me, I look at you, no one dares to speak.
Li Anmin took a deep breath and said, "Let Fubei City go in advance, I still have one more thing to discuss with you." ”
As he spoke, Li Anmin took out the map he had drawn on the road, handed it to Li Wenqian, and said, "Unfold!" ”
Li Wenqian obediently took the map and spread his hands in front of everyone.
"Look at this ......"
Li Anmin pointed to the location of the Huai River and said: "This time, I paid a private visit to the Huai River Basin, and after many investigations, I finally found the reason why the Huai River often floods. ”
"One of them!"
"The Huai River valley is mountainous."
"When the rain pours down, the soil from the mountains flows down the river into the Huai River."
"This also makes the already not wide Huai River channel narrower and narrower, and the water flow is blocked, causing the embankment to burst."
"Second!"
"The way the Huai River flows into the sea is connected to the Yellow River."
"In normal times, the flow of water in the Yellow River is greater than that of the Huai River."
"The two are in one place, like two carriages colliding, and the slower one will definitely suffer."
"The same is true for the Huai River, whose inlet is blocked by the Yellow River, forcing the entire river to flow at a lower rate."
Li Anmin said to the ministers present: "In normal times, you may not be able to see anything, but once the water flow in the upper reaches of the Huai River suddenly increases, it will cause the Huai River to flood!" ”
Heard Li Anmin's words.
The crowd in the audience also nodded and talked in low voices.
Ideas may sometimes seem a little pedantic, but these people are not really fools after all.
In modern times, their abilities are still stronger than most people's.
At this moment, I heard Li Anmin's words.
There were also many people in the audience who thought it was very reasonable, and then set their eyes on Li Anmin.
Fang Muduan was the first to speak: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true. ”
"But if you want to solve these problems, it is difficult."
"Let's not talk about the Yellow River, just talk about the Huai River."
"According to His Majesty, if you want to solve the Huai River problem, there are only two ways."
"The first way is to hire labor to clean up the river."
"Remove the sediment from the river and the things that have been washed down from the mountains and let the water flow smoothly......
"The second way is to wage labor to widen the river."
"This will also make the flow of the Huai River smoother."
"But ......"
Fang Muduan paused and said, "But no matter which way you go, it's a very huge project, at least tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of laborers have to work day and night for a long time, and my court is afraid that there won't be so much money to support the wage laborers......
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Shangguan Yuanji also said: "The cost of eating horses and chewing for the laborers is very huge, and my court really can't afford such a big expense." ”
The two of them spoke.
The ministers in the audience also spoke up.
And they all have similar opinions.
It is said that the imperial court is now too poor to spend so much money to clean up the river and widen the river.
If you want to do this, then wait until the court has money and food in the future.
And listen to them.
Li Anmin laughed directly.
"Do you remember?"
"When the Huai River flood broke out, I asked you how much food you needed for disaster relief, how did you answer me?"
Li Anmin pointed at Fang Muduan and said, "You Fang Muduan said that you need more than 100,000 taels of silver and more than 100,000 stones of grain and grass." ”
Fang Muduan lowered his head, obviously recognizing the matter.
And this time.
Li Anmin set his eyes on Shangguan Yuanji again: "Your Shangguan Yuanji said that even if more than a million taels of silver are smashed into it, and hundreds of thousands of stones of grain are smashed into it, there will still be people starving to death." ”
"You're raising this food."
"Even the attention is on the military rations, right?"
The crowd lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
Everyone can also see that Li Anmin is a little moved.
"But what about the end?"
"I gave a small county order of 400,000 taels of silver."
"He didn't even give him a grain of grain, and he took care of the flood of the Huai River."
"And when I passed, he had already led the residents of Shannan Province to start the post-disaster reconstruction work."
"As for the wandering and starvation that you said in your mouth, I did not see any of them."
"Where the people are, all of them have ruddy complexions, dragons and tigers, and they have more strength than anyone else to work."
"He has a county order, and with only a little money in his hand, he can handle this matter so beautifully and perfectly."
"You are all my sons, and you are all the pillars of this court."
Li Anmin turned around, looked around at the people present, and said with a cold face: "But you told me that the imperial court can't afford this huge expense, so you can't do this?" ”
