Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 938 Exhausted
Jiangsu and Zhejiang are very close to Jinling, and what happened in Muzhou spread to the capital in a blink of an eye.For a while, all the courts were talking about the matter of Muzhou's breach.The Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, and Yushitai, all the memorials and articles to impeach Li Guang flew to Xuande Pavilion like snowflakes. Even the cabinet is not qualified to impeach a governor of a province. deliberate.

But some of Lu Chuan's affairs were ignored by everyone.

Xiao Jiasui temporarily photographed the affairs of the cabinet, which can be said to be very authoritative, but what the cabinet can do in this matter is to thoroughly investigate the cause of the matter.He would not hide anything for Li Guang.

As for King Chen, is he in Muzhou?That's the job of the security department.

Xiao Jiasui and Li Guang only nodded in friendship.The latter's promotion, honor and disgrace are meaningless to him, and the matter is somewhat sensitive, so he would never dare to hide anything for Li Guang.

After entering the Xuande Pavilion, Zhao Mingcheng, Jiang Jing and other cabinet ministers were already inside, and they only nodded in greeting, and said to Lu Qian, "Your Majesty, Li Guang and Lu Ren's self-defenses have been submitted, and I respectfully invite the Holy Judge. "

It was almost August at this time, and the rain that had lasted for several months in the south was coming to an end, and the water level of the rivers had dropped.

"There are many things going on this summer, making people uneasy. I originally planned to go on patrol in the northern part of the Great Wall in June, but now I don't know how long it will be postponed." Heavy rains have fallen throughout the south for several months, and the worst damage was in the Yangtze River Basin, with Muzhou District Breaking through the ground is a fart.It was not his fault that he was suspected of slapping Lu Qian in the face. This matter could not even be brought to the cabinet. "I won't read the self-discrimination excerpt. Please tell me first. What does it say?"

What can the two of them say, they just told the truth in detail.Lu Qian had already read the secret documents of the Security Department and even Lu Chuan's memorial. To be honest, both Li Guang and Lu Ren could be forgiven.

You know, the flood diversion only divided the Anjiang River. Li Guang and Lu Ren decided to dig the dike, but they took a lot of risk.If Anjiang was flooded and Shenquan Town was not saved, wouldn't the responsibility be greater?

During this period of time, all local officials in the south where there is a dam breach will be dismissed and punished, and even more people will be implicated.

Li Guang and Lu Ren were able to make the decision to divert floods under pressure. At least they were cautious.

The "investigation report" of the Security Department and Lu Chuan is very clear, and after reading it, Lu Qian's anger is no longer left in his heart, but this matter is related to his face, and the personnel involved should be punished or punished . "A merit is a merit, a demerit is a demerit, meritorious deeds shall be rewarded, and demerits shall be punished. I will leave this matter to the cabinet for disposal."

It was very simple to kick the ball, and none of the ministers present had a second word.

As Lu Qian spoke, he got up and walked to the window, looking at the clear sky outside, he murmured, "I'm in a hurry to go to Saibei." The five-year gathering cannot be missed.

Emperor Lu conquered Saibei, Lu Qi's army swept across the grasslands, Khitan, Zongpu, Mongolia and others all surrendered.But how can one ensure that this surrender becomes permanent?The Li Tang dynasty also conquered the Saibei grasslands in its prosperity, but how long did the fighting between the Central Plains and Saibei stop during the Li and Tang Dynasties?
Only by thoroughly sinicizing the Saibei Grassland!

It will be a very long process for Lu Qian to Sinicize the entire northern part of the Great Wall, and the autumn hunt every five years is an important part of it.This is not only a good opportunity to contact all parties, but also a good opportunity for Emperor Lu to have a deeper understanding of the various ministries in the north of the Great Wall.

While it is helpful for the central government to manage the grassland tribes in Monan, Mobei, and Moxi, it is also an opportunity for Lu Qian to listen to the complaints of the leaders of various ministries.

To solve their problems, face-to-face detailed discussions are always more thorough and effective than memorial documents.

It will give him a deeper and more thorough understanding of all aspects of the grassland tribes.

Xiao Jiasui and other court ministers all knew that unless there was a catastrophe, the five-year meeting would never be interrupted.

"The rains have stopped in various parts of the southern country, and the water conditions in rivers and rivers have slowed down; autumn rains have returned in the north, so why bother to worry about the Central Plains? I think that your majesty can lead people to Yanjing as much as possible." After seeing the respite, Xu Guanzhong was about to return to Jinling, so he didn't have to worry about no one sitting in the center.

As time went by, Lu Qian saw that Tianneng had received a letter from the local government praying for tax exemption and tax exemption, and the treasury also allocated a large amount of money and supplies.Even faced with financial shortages, there have been proposals to issue government bonds.

Bonds have been played in the Jockey Club for many years. "National bonds" is not an unfamiliar word to the cabinet leaders. Someone mentioned the issuance of national bonds ten years ago.The previous few mentions were ignored, because the court really didn't have that much difficulty, but now...

There was a severe flood in the south and a severe drought in the north. Water conservancy facilities in the north and south provinces had to be rebuilt, such as reservoirs and diversion dams.It all costs money, a lot of money!
Amidst the noise, the time has entered August.After a few autumn rains, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, while the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant, fallen leaves have already fallen in Jinling City.

The Ministry of War submitted several papers in a row, asking about this year's autumn hunting.

Should I go to "Autumn Hunting"?
Of course that is the way to go!
Can't we stop doing it because of time delay?As for the drought in the north and the flood in the south, a few months should not be underestimated. Statistics from every province in the north and south were gathered in Jinling, and the number of people affected by the disaster skyrocketed like a rocket.There are more things to do in the aftermath, but it is the cabinet that is busier.

Will this catastrophe, which was launched simultaneously by the north and the south, have any impact on Lu Qichao?Of course there are, but they can't shake Lu Qi's foundation.

A severe drought, a severe flood, the number of affected people in the northern and southern provinces has easily reached millions, and it is a foregone conclusion that the production of food crops in various places will be reduced or even completely eliminated.However, the Lu Qi Dynasty has ruled the world for 20 years, and there is no one year old in the hands of the people?
Therefore, the Central Plains cannot be chaotic.

There will not be scenes of starvation everywhere, Yizi cannibalizing each other, countless refugees, and bones everywhere.

The illustrious reputation of the Qi army is useless in the face of natural disasters.Just like a piece of thin paper, the tiger's skin was pierced with a light poke.However, Lu Qichao's aftermath work made this catastrophe that originated from the north and the south disappear invisible.

The national treasury suffered heavy losses. The relief expenses of the victims in various places, coupled with the impact of taxes and the reduction in autumn grain production, caused the national financial loss to be at least 2000 million silver dollars.But no matter how big the loss is, Lu Qichao will cover it all.

"Many provinces have been hit by disasters this year. I don't want to see people suffering from man-made disasters at the same time as natural disasters everywhere." There are too many tricks to do in disaster relief, and there are too many tricks in some things. Those people and disasters Those who don't act in the middle are all damned!
"Virtue is good governance, and government is to support the people. Under natural disasters, there must be no man-made disasters. It is better for the country to spend too much gold and silver than to make the people hungry and displaced. This is my wish, and it should also be the wish of the important ministers of the court."

He was about to go to Beidi soon, and Lu Qian wanted to leave a clear attitude on these matters at home.

"Today, I give this sentence to you, and you must keep it in your heart."

"The ministers are to be taught." A group of ministers said in unison.

Lu Qian has been traveling for more than 20 years, and he has been in the country for 20 years. Drought and floods are definitely not the same as this year.But this year's disaster is definitely the most affected area, with more than a dozen provinces planned from south to north.

Autumn grain production in various provinces has been greatly reduced, and many places have no harvest. If this is put in Liu Han, Yang Sui, Li Tang, Zhao Song, it will be a catastrophe.With the tide of refugees, it is easy for a single spark to destroy several provinces in the blink of an eye.

But in the current Lu Qi Dynasty, the price of food in the market rarely changes by more than [-]%, and the price of food in various places quickly fell back.It can be said that the current Lu Qi is really qualitatively different from the past dynasties.

"There is money and food in the national treasury. Local government warehouses and granaries can all be used if necessary. In the states and counties that have been hit by disasters in all provinces, those that should be exempted from taxes should be exempted from taxes, and those that should be exempted from taxes should be exempted from taxes." Look at money, food and financial resources.

"The ministers obey the order."

"Tax cuts, tax exemptions, pensions, relief, loans, and resettlement of refugees involve a lot of things, involving a lot of money and food. Yushitai, the public security agencies in various places, and the security department have all stared at me. Let's see who dares Come and stretch out your hand, and you will not be spared."

After everyone retreated, Lu Qian turned back to the inner study and plunged into the sea of ​​books and literature.The inside is no longer the secret reports about the disaster from various places, but the information about the tribes in the north of the Great Wall that has been accumulated for a while.

Being an emperor is both easy and not easy.

Lu Qian has his own grand plans, so the path he chose is the one that is 'not easy'. Although many of them are not done by himself, there must be 'knowing'.But how many accidents happen every day for the millions of people in the country?With so many ministers in the court, how many dogs will be born in a day?

Just this simple 'knowing' has exhausted him.
