Douluo: Qinghe legend

"First Prince, what are you doing?"

The guards were originally waiting outside the Royal Academy. According to their estimates, they would not leave for the palace until tonight at the earliest. But now the eldest prince came out and looked very anxious.

"The yellow water has burst its banks, and the flood has seriously affected me. I have to go to my father's side now." Xue Qinghe said a few words, and then a group of people quickly escorted Xue Qinghe to the palace.

The main hall of Tiandou Palace is magnificent, magnificent and majestic.

There are 1 large pillars with a diameter of 72 meter inside the main hall, of which 6 are gold-painted Panlong pillars surrounding the throne.

There are gold-lacquered wooden pillars and an exquisite dragon caisson inside the hall. Looking up at the top of the hall, there is a huge gold-carved dragon in the central caisson.

A large silver-white round bead hangs from the dragon's mouth, surrounded by six small beads. The dragon's head and orb are facing the throne below.

The emperor's gold-lacquered dragon throne is set on a double-high throne. In front of the throne are beautiful cranes, furnaces, and tripods, and behind it is a dragon-carved screen.

At this time, Emperor Xueye looked at the civil and military officials below, feeling very upset but helpless.

"Aren't you usually very talkative?

Why can't you speak now?

This time the Yellow River burst its banks, millions of people were involved, tens of thousands were killed and injured, and countless people became refugees overnight. Can no one come up with a solution? "

Emperor Xueye scolded angrily, slamming his big hand on the dragon chair, releasing the power of the emperor.

Emperor Xueye looked down at the ministers below and shrank their heads in shock, as if they were afraid of being shouted out by him.

"Li Liang, tell me, how much money can the national treasury spend for disaster relief now?"

Emperor Xue Ye reluctantly named him. After all, he was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, so he had some confidence.

"Back to Your Majesty, this year there have been constant wars with the Star Luo Empire, large and small, and the cost of military expenditures and pensions for fallen soldiers is huge. Money is needed for soul master subsidies, royal expenses, royal academies, military expansion, etc., I'm afraid... ··”

A middle-aged man hesitated to speak, "I'm afraid the treasury can only provide 50 gold soul coins for disaster relief."

"50 gold soul coins...it's probably not enough for so many refugees."

Emperor Xue Ye leaned weakly on the dragon chair. The Tiandou Empire has a great cause. Although the finances are not tight, there are many places to spend money. One move can affect the whole body. The 50 gold soul coins are probably the limit. .

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent..." Li Liang said with shame. Although the treasury has no money, those nobles have a lot of money. But if they want money from them, who can do it?

Fundraising is probably just a drop in the bucket.

Donating too little will not help;

Donate more, well, here comes the more serious question, where did you get so much money?

Do you want to check... the source of the money?

"If that doesn't work, let's use Internal Wrath for now. It should be about the same." Emperor Xueye said helplessly. Internal Wrath is the royal family's own small treasury, which is separate from the national treasury and is equivalent to his own private money.

Emperor Xue Ye felt heartbroken at the thought of losing so much money again.

"Father, I have a way to solve this problem."

A somewhat childish voice came from outside the main hall. After receiving the permission from Emperor Xue Ye, Xue Qinghe strode into the main hall, attracting the attention of civil and military officials, but most of them looked at the joke or disapproved.

It’s just a child, how can we solve it?

Is it still possible to make money out of thin air?

"Qinghe, tell me how to solve it?

Don't worry, if you have this heart, I will be very satisfied. "

Emperor Xueye encouraged him so as not to put too much pressure on his son.

“My son’s solution is to use work instead of relief!”

Xue Qinghe said slowly. After hearing this, Emperor Xue Ye straightened his body and then asked:

"Can you tell me more specifically, how to provide work-for-relief?"

Generally speaking, when faced with these refugees, the imperial court would adopt restrictions, suppression, repatriation, control and appeasement. They would mainly arrange for the refugees to be naturalized in other relatively stable places, or build cities and counties to resettle the refugees, or open warehouses to release grain. Abolition of excessive taxation laws, reduction of rents and taxes, etc.

I have never heard of working-for-relief.

“Father, the so-called work-for-relief means that the imperial court pays the refugees their wages after they complete the corresponding work.

In this way, the livelihood of the victims is solved and the victims can be paid through their labor. In addition to preventing the victims from causing chaos, it can also take care of their self-esteem. "Xue Qinghe said simply.

If people don’t have enough to eat, there is only one problem.

But if they are full, there will be many problems. When these disaster victims are full, they will easily cause troubles when they have nothing to do;

If you are starving to death, it will be even more dangerous and you will easily riot.

It may sound contradictory, but it is the reality.

Work-for-relief is used to give full play to the functions of the state and create a large number of jobs and needs to alleviate the difficulties of disaster victims.

"We'll be here today. You all should step aside." Emperor Xueye said calmly, and then left the hall, "Qinghe, come with me."

Outside the main hall, officials walked out one after another.

"Prince, do you think the work-for-relief plan mentioned by the eldest prince is effective?"

An official asked in a low voice and couldn't help but look at Prince Snow Star beside him.

Prince Snow Star was wearing a large yellow robe, embroidered with flowers, but he did not look messy, and his gray hair was neatly combed behind his head.

Medium build, slightly fatter body, handsome appearance.

"Our eldest prince still thinks of things too simply. Although working-for-relief does have the benefits he mentioned, in the end, as a person living in an ivory tower, his thinking is still too simple.

Work-for-relief sounds wonderful, but the premise is that if the court can get so much money to pay wages, it is not back to the starting point. If the money issue is not resolved, everything will be empty talk.

A bowl of porridge every day would be enough to keep the victims alive, but let them be hungry all the time. How can they cause trouble if they don't have the strength?

If someone really dares to cause trouble, the empire's army can take the opportunity to suppress it. Once the number of victims is reduced to a certain number, it won't be a problem.

Work-for-relief, oh, it sounds so wonderful, but the reality is very cruel!

Once the victims work, they will only consume more energy, eat more food, consume more money, and need more money for relief.

The royal status gives my eldest nephew compassion, but he has no ability to save. "

Prince Xue Xing shook his head and said that this was the reason why Emperor Xue Ye suddenly withdrew from the court. He just felt that it was not feasible so that Xue Qinghe would not be embarrassed. There was no need for him to get into trouble with His Majesty.

"As expected of the prince, the old one is still the hot one!" The visitor said with a flattering slap.

"Qinghe, Qinghe, uncle, I think it is much more likely that you will borrow money from your teacher or the Qibao Glazed Sect. Who doesn't know that the current wealth of the Qibao Glazed Sect has reached a terrifying level." Prince Xuexing looked at him. The main hall said calmly.

"God has given you the feeling of pity for all living beings, but it has not given you the ability to solve it.

A child who grew up in the royal greenhouse was moved when he saw the miserable appearance of the victims. He had some ideas and hurriedly came up with them.

Do you think you can save these 10,000+ people?

In the final analysis, it's just a child's naive and ridiculous idea, thinking that he can save them?

What can you change?You are still too naive. "

Having said that, Prince Snow Star quickly left, hoping to raise more money from the nobles.

He's just a child over ten years old, so he can't ask for too much.
