In this palace, the hundred officials discussed for two hours, and when the sky was about to dawn, they finally drew up the general steps of the famine relief operation.

Although the steps are still extremely immature, in order to prevent officials from contributing to their efforts, the standards for donations have been formulated, and the standards for donations by officials at all levels have been divided, and there is still a lot of money and food. Each level is different, but this is also the fairest decision, which can prevent some officials from being selfish and giving less, and preventing some officials from giving too much for a while, and regretting it later.

At the same time, these officials are "bleeding", for them, the rescue activities must be huge, effective, and at the same time, they must be successful in demon relief, so that there will be a heavy record in the historical materials of later generations. Therefore, this group of officials is also a bureaucratic outbreak, and their heads who are full of poetry and books have also come up with a lot of plans, especially about mobilizing people's enthusiasm, which is to deduce things seamlessly, but the demon emperor was stunned for a moment, and his heart was quite happy.

The Demon Emperor sitting on the dragon chair watched all this quietly, and thought in his heart: "This group of people, in peacetime, dump each other, and they can twist into a ball at a critical moment, but it is also invincible, and it feels really good to suck the world's talents into the bag." At the critical moment, there will always be smart people who come out to turn the tide and save the society from fire and water, although listening to the amount of donations just now, it can be seen that these officials are usually not less greedy, but as long as they are useful and can benefit the community, they can also be tolerated. The Demon Emperor thought quietly, the imperial examination is indeed a good move.

But soon the Demon Emperor discovered that several factions that they usually don't deal with each other at this time, pulled each other on the mountain and attacked each other. This group of people is indeed fast in thinking and wise enough, but after all, there are still differences in positions and concepts, and the quarrel in the court continues. This time, there was no strategy or routine, and he quarreled directly, which is a normal commonplace for the Demon Emperor, if there is no battle in the court one day, he may not be used to it.

Seeing this situation, he also knew that if there was no result in such a fight, it was better to leave three or two pillars of the ministers to discuss. Thinking of this, the Demon Emperor naturally dismissed the hundred officials. A few court elders were named.

Soon, the entire cabinet became empty.

The Demon Emperor watched that the people were almost gone, and only the prime minister was left in the entire cabinet, as well as the four veterans of the army, and the newly entered Jinshi Zhao Yunqi.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now half of the states and counties of the Great Zhou Empire have been affected, although there are donations from hundreds of officials, but there will eventually be people who will fill their pockets and make a lot of war windfalls. How can we make sure we survive this dangerous time?" the Demon Emperor still asked.

Prime Minister Li Shengzhong said: "The heart is the most incomprehensible thing. Although they are in court. For a while, I was infected by the atmosphere or in the hearts of the crowd, but when I went home to think about it, I didn't regret it, and the donated finances, for them, were enough for half a year, and it is estimated that many officials may go back to everyone's evidence, and the prices of the entire Kyoto will definitely soar in the future. At this time, if there are officials who are in debt, they will definitely have to be controlled by others. And what will happen later, no one can predict. ”

The Demon Emperor pondered for a moment: "At the foot of the Imperial City of the Son of Heaven, whoever dares to raise prices will be convicted of disturbing prices, and he will be severely decided!"

"Never!" Zhao Yunqi said. "Merchants are profit-seeking, and if they are squeezed too hard, they are likely to stop doing business, and if there is no goods circulating on the streets, it will have a greater impact. We can talk to the merchants around the Imperial City for three chapters. When the year of famine has passed, give them preferential treatment in policy. ”

At this time, the general of the imperial city said: "Your Majesty, according to the minister's opinion, it is better for us to stick to the land of the three states around Kyoto, after all, we have the largest sphere of influence here, and the power radiation is the widest, as long as we take care of the land of the three states in the pass, so in this world, we are still the strongest, to respond to all changes, sit and wait for the disaster to pass, and then appease the outside." It's a little easier that way. ”

The Demon Emperor shook his head: "What the general said is the most direct way, but often the most direct way will cause the most irreparable damage, now in the year of natural disasters, the forces of the world are looking at us, how many pairs of ears are there in this Kyoto, how many pairs of eyes, if the imperial court is guarding the pass, how many forces will move because of this, and when the natural disaster passes, I can still have the face to call Huang Nanzhan again?" As the emperor, the power hub of the Great Zhou Empire, the vision should be from the perspective of the world, not his own one-third of an acre, although the three continents under the rule of Kyoto are the richest places, but in the final analysis, the world is big, all are imperial land. We can follow the law, and it is also the institutions and forces in various places that sell our central government and sell me the face of the demon emperor. If you back down this time. When a shrunken turtle guards the land of the three states in the Guannei, and does not let the people of the world scold me angrily! Then the people of the world still don't know how to smear me, and there will definitely be rumors that the Demon Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is absurd and unreasonable, addicted to the harem, and only cares about his own extravagant pleasures, and when the time comes, the hungry people and rogues in the large area of the imperial land outside the gate will rebel and revolt under the leadership of people with hearts. Therefore, we must use the strength of the entire Guannai to relieve the disaster-stricken areas outside the Guan, and we must not be short-sighted! There are some things that we must do, and this is also for the sake of stability!"

The heavy body of the demon emperor sat on the dragon chair, with a calm face, sword eyebrows, and slender eyes slightly narrowed, looking at the endless houses outside the main hall, the palaces and pavilions, and the wooden houses and grass houses. Stretch across the sky. "My world is not divided into inside and outside. If one side is in trouble, all sides will support, if there is chaos! Then it is my dereliction of duty. There will definitely be a lot of descriptions of me in the history books. I finally knew the helplessness of the king of the dead country, as if there was an invisible providence in the dark. ”

"Your Majesty is thoughtful! Be the Lord of the World!" Zhao Yunqi's voice trembled a little.

The Demon Emperor came back to his senses and looked at the new Jinshi. "I didn't promote you to make you afraid of horses, Aiqing has a good plan?"

Zhao Yunqi said: "The minister has a way, but if this move comes out, it will also be a corpse, but it may create a foundation for thousands of years!"

The Demon Emperor raised his eyebrows. "Tell me about it. ”

"Rewarding ploughing and warfare, all strong men can join the army, improve the army's food, and send all the relief materials to the barracks in various localities! All the people are soldiers, and lead the war to build peace! In this way, the two major achievements of disaster relief and annihilation of the enemy can be achieved! However, during the period when the war continues, the corpses will be ambushed for thousands of miles. ”
