Datang: Angry at Li Er, he still begged me to come out of the mountain

Chapter 10 Disaster Relief Method
Until the Cui family whose five surnames are Qiwang, Cui Jinghao came to sell grain.

As a merchant, Cui Jinghao laughed secretly when he knew that the Jiang family was stockpiling grain.As for the rise in food prices, he is not worried. He knows that this is the highest price in the market.

The Cui family's granary is full of grain, and the autumn harvest is about to begin. Now that it is sold to the Jiang Mansion, it will make a lot of money, and it can continue to store new grain.

In Jiangfu, Jiang Yunqing is worried about money.

That's right, after buying so much food, he finally ran out of money.

Jiang Yunqing had already sold all the family property that could be sold, and now he could not afford any money at all. In the end, he thought of his father-in-law.

After making up his mind, Jiang Yunqing waited for his father-in-law to visit.

But no one came until noon.

"It seems that it is better to ask for yourself than to ask for others."

………………

Here, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was attending the morning court.

After Tang Taizong finished talking about Dilong turning over, the ministers all lowered their heads and remained silent.

Tang Taizong looked at these ministers who usually made things difficult for him, and kept silent after something happened, his heart was filled with anger.

"Why, when you are usually embarrassing me, everyone can speak well, but now they are dumb?"

Tang Taizong scanned the hall coercively, looking at those ministers who wished to disappear.

"In this case, who of you told me, what's the use of you?"

At this moment, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, and Fang Xuanling, the three leaders of civil servants, didn't speak, so the people below had nothing to say.

"Wei Aiqing, what do you think should be done?"

Ah, this!
How dare Wei Zheng come up with any ideas, he doesn't understand at all!If one gets it wrong, it could be dead.

Those who were not selected were secretly glad.

Wei Zheng broke into sweat in a hurry, and only when he saw Yan Lide did he come up with an idea.

"Your Majesty, I am not proficient in this matter. You should ask Mr. Yan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, about Dilong's turning over."

After Wei Zheng finished speaking, the official censor agreed.

This kind of thing has to be done by Yan Lide.

Others acted as if they had nothing to do with them.

This official censor is just looking for people to make people unhappy, and whoever catches them will complain, even if it is the emperor, that's the same.

It's like, even if they crashed to death in the hall, they still want to be famous and have a long history, it's almost sick.

It's useless to get down to business, but it's a set of tricks to spray people.

If Emperor Taizong of Tang was caught, it would be like spit stars flying around, wishing to dig someone's ancestral grave.

These censors waited for Yan Lide to make a mistake, and if he couldn't answer or answered badly, they would impeach him and make him lose his official position.

A group of idiots. Yan Lide squinted at the group of censors and officials, his heart full of disdain.

After last night's hard work, Yan Lide was looking forward to being able to shine in the morning court today.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, after the earth dragon turned over, it must need food relief, but disaster relief in the past generations will face a problem, that is, the food will not reach the hands of the people until it passes through many officials."

"But in the end, less than three-tenths of the people actually got it into their hands. Therefore, His Majesty had to allocate food for disaster relief again."

Regarding this issue, there has been corruption in all dynasties, and Tang Taizong knew about it, but there is no way to stop this phenomenon.

"Then Yan Aiqing, do you have a good plan?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, find a reliable person among the ministers of the court to supervise this matter. Once someone is found to have embezzled relief food, regardless of official position or status, he will be killed. Only in this way can the people get the food they deserve."

After listening to Yan Lide's words, Tang Taizong was very satisfied, and finally someone came up with an idea.

Jinyang is not simple. As the land of Longxing in the Tang Dynasty, there are a lot of related households, and ordinary people really don't have that ability.

"But Your Majesty, it is not easy to provide disaster relief."

"Well, you go on."

Tang Taizong nodded, signaling Yan Lide to express his thoughts boldly.

And all the civil and military officials in the court listened quietly and did not dare to speak.

"Your Majesty, once the Earth Dragon recovers, according to the weather, there will definitely be floods, which will cause farmland to be flooded and houses to collapse. The people will also be displaced and wander around."

"At this time, His Majesty will come forward to provide relief. But this will become a bottomless pit that consumes the treasury. In the long run, no matter how much food there is in the treasury, it will not be enough to consume."

"Then Yan Aiqing can do something?"

"Your Majesty, you can use work as relief."

This?
Everyone is just covering their faces, working for relief?How can this be.

The people are not fools, they have nothing to eat, and they are hungry, so naturally they will not work obediently.

"As long as the relief money and food can reach the disaster area, the people can take the initiative to build dams and farmland."

"As long as you work, you can get a day's food and wages, so no one will complain."

"On the contrary, if there is nothing to do and the common people see no hope of life, it is easier to get together and spread rumors."

"After consulting the history books overnight, I found that after the earth dragon turned over, it took more than three years to recover. But as long as I follow the method of the minister, it only takes one year to recover."

Tang Taizong photographed the Xialong case excitedly, and said happily.

"Yan Aiqing will do as you say."

Jinyang has a large population. If we just wait for the disaster relief, the national treasury will be empty within a year. Even if Tang Taizong wants to provide disaster relief, there is nothing he can do.

"Yan Lide is ordered to have full authority to supervise the Hedong Road. He is specially given an imperial sword. During the disaster relief period, if there is anyone who is corrupt and perverts the law, regardless of official position or background, they can be killed first and then reported. We will set off tomorrow. No one is allowed to do anything wrong."

"Your Majesty Shengming."

This little brother is really amazing, before he leaves, he has to pay a visit, today is thanks to him.

"My love, is there anything else I can add?"

This method is very comprehensive. According to the past, the imperial court has been required to provide money and food, but now the most lacking in the Tang Dynasty is money and food.

Even in the battle of the Turkic expedition, Fang Xuanling went to the queen to find a way to get a sum of money and food, so that the army would have no worries.

Now Yan Lide's disaster relief method can just solve this problem.

While the ministers were all praising Yan Lide's method, Fang Xuanling was wondering who came up with such a perfect method.

Having been an official together for so long, Fang Xuanling can naturally see that this is not something someone with Yan Lide's way of doing things can come up with.

Could it be Jiang Yunqing?

But how could they know each other?
"Your Majesty, I believe that a general should be sent to assist Master Yan in his affairs."

If there are too many refugees, riots will occur, so it would be more appropriate to send another military general.

"Eldest Sun Aiqing's words are reasonable. I don't know if any of you Aiqing can be recommended by Mao."

Tang Taizong looked in the direction of the general and asked.

Military generals, you look at me, I look at you, but no one came out.

It is no problem to ask them to fight, but they are not good at disaster relief.

Just when no one came out and Tang Taizong was about to get angry again, a young general stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty, the minister Cheng Chumo is willing to go with Master Yan."
