Since the founding of the Dayue Kingdom, the country's administrative management areas have been divided into three levels: Tao, prefecture, and county. These are governed by the chief executive appointed by the imperial court, and the big cities in Daozhou will be distributed to ministers who have made great contributions to the country. get one-tenth of the tax.

The entire Dayue Kingdom is composed of 24 roads, divided into Guanzhong, Guanwai, Henan, Hedong, Hebei, Hexi, Shannan, Shanbei, Shandong, Shanxi, Longyou, Longzuo, Longdong, Longxi, Huainan, Huaibei, Jiangnan and Jiangbei. , Jiangxi, Jiangdong, Lingdong, Lingxi, Lingnan, Lingbei Road.Each road is governed by a governor Taotai. According to the size of the road, it is divided into two or four prefectures, and the prefecture is divided into four or six counties. Below the counties are towns and then villages.

However, less than two months after the new king ascended the throne, heavy rains fell from the sky. Ten cities and nine cities near the capital, such as Guannei, Henan, Hedong, Hebei, Hexi, Shannan, Shanbei, Shandong, and Shanxi, were hit by heavy rains, causing serious house destruction and deaths. The low disaster situation is that the grain fields were washed away by the rain, and these ten roads have reached the point of food shortage, and there is no food to eat.

After Yu Nong was demoted, Sima Qing, the newly appointed Zhongshu Commander, held the memorial and talked about the disaster data with cold sweat on his face, which made the new emperor sitting on the throne feel uneasy.

Shuizhi coldly reprimanded: "Why don't you hurry up and take out the charter for disaster relief?"

Sima Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not that the ministers and others don't want to hurry up to provide disaster relief. In fact, the ten disaster-stricken places are all the food-producing places of our dynasty. This time, the incident happened suddenly. The roads in some places were cut off, communication was difficult, and most of them were flooded. It is also not safe, news from the south has not yet come, ten roads were affected at the same time, and there was no food to dispatch for a while."

When Shui Zhihan heard this, her eyes were slightly red, she suddenly ascended the throne, and before she had been safe and stable, a crisis came down, which made her sad and angry for a while, but all kinds of emotions were intertwined, and she wanted to get angry but didn't know where to send it, so Shui Zhihan Han looked at the eldest princess, and the eldest princess glanced at Shui Zhihan, who was a little uneasy, and shook her head at her, meaning to let her stay calm.The eldest princess lightly opened her red lips: "Master Sima, do you have something to say?"

Sima Qing raised his eyes to look at the eldest princess, and was somewhat puzzled why the eldest princess did not ascend the throne herself, but instead supported Prince Han, who had always had no sense of existence, but now he was not allowed to think too much, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Returning to the eldest princess, I have something to say." , may resolve the crisis.”

In front of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, Sima Qing said without hesitation, making the eldest princess snort coldly in her heart, and asked kindly on her face: "Master Sima has a good plan, and he will do it. When the country is in danger, I hope Lord Sima will not hide his clumsiness." .”

Sima Qing looked anxious and righteous, and bowed to Shui Zhihan: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess, there are many wealthy families in every city and city, and they all have granaries and treasuries. The crisis of lack of mothers in the city is bound to be resolved immediately."

Shui Zhihan heard Sima Qing's words: "Then quickly issue an order to let the city lords and wealthy families from all over the country cooperate with the dynasty in disaster relief..."

"Your Majesty..." the eldest princess interrupted Shui Zhihan.

"Your Majesty, I think it's better to leave this matter to Lord Sima. Your Majesty ordered that Lord Sima, as a conciliator, go to various places to persuade the city lords and noble families." The eldest princess said leisurely.

Sima Qing's heart trembled when he heard the eldest princess's words: "Minister, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to take on this important task!" After saying that, Sima Qing bowed his head and resigned.

The eldest princess glanced at Shui Zhihan, and Shui Zhihan understood: "Master Sima is the pillar of the country, he deserves it, he deserves it!"

After talking about the coldness of the water, he asked people to draft an order in court, and Sima Qing was invited to go down to appease the Taoists.

After the next court, Shui Zhihan hurriedly summoned the eldest princess to the palace to discuss matters.

"Sister, why don't you let me make an order for the city lords to open granaries for disaster relief?" Shui Zhihan asked incomprehensibly.

"Junjunchenchen, what are monarchs and ministers? Your Majesty, you have to remember that you need them to beg you, not you begging them! My father once said when he was alive that treachery, loyalty and goodness are not visible to the naked eye, nor are you begging them. You can believe what you say. Whenever there is a crisis in the court, there will be good ministers. What the emperor does is to employ people safely and properly. But you must also be careful about your words. Look at Sima Qing, he speaks clearly and logically, why let him ask for it? For food, just push it three times and block it four times?" The eldest princess asked Shui Zhihan.

"Is this impossible?" Shui Zhihan thought about it.

"It can be done, why can't it be done, there is a lot to do! It's just that you, the new king, can't stand up. Wouldn't it be better for Sima Qing to go in person?" The eldest princess said something subtle, and she needed the emperor to think clearly about the deeper things.

Shui Zhihan was a little confused by what the eldest princess said, and the little emperor, who had just stepped into the court, slowly learned how to be an emperor with the support of the eldest sister.

Finally, the torrential rain gradually became smaller until it disappeared. The sky cleared and became cloudless. Both adults and children went up the mountain happily. A dozen or so people had never entered the mountain. The adults and children laughed happily like wild horses running wild. In Zhuangzi, you can hear the joyous songs and laughter in the village.

Xiaoying also entered the village with a smile, and greeted Mianli and Buqi: "Sixth Master, Sixth Lady, I and the elders of several families in the village have arranged for the villagers to repair ditches and roads. This matter will start tomorrow. Looking at the weather, it should be completed in two days, is Liu Ye going to buy chickens now?"

After hearing this, Buqi looked at Mianli, who shook her head looking at the sky, took some papers from the desk, and gave them to Xiaoying: "The field ditches and roads in the village are leveled, and wooden fences are also added outside the village. , arrange for people to go to the mountains to pick these things I painted, and then you go back to the town to buy more limestone, I want to use it."

Buqi and Xiaoying were taken aback when they heard Mianli's words, why?

Buqi walked up to Mianli and took her hand: "Li'er, what are you doing?"

Mianli's heart was beating rapidly. The Federation had rescued disasters in the past. Like a flood, there must be a major epidemic. As special soldiers, they walked in the most dangerous areas and the most severely affected areas. Mianli followed him as a temporary doctor. , the most severe test for mankind is coming!

Mianli knew it in her heart, but she didn't want to panic, so she held Bu Qi's hand: "Does Qi'er trust me?"

Buqi smiled and nodded: "I believe it!"

"Trust me and do it, I won't harm everyone!" Mianli said solemnly.

Bu Qi didn't say anything, and said to Xiaoying: "Do as Liu Ye said, and the money and food spent will go to the public account."

Seeing that Mianli and his wife agreed, Xiaoying had no choice but to let Mianli mess around.Look at the items on the list, [-] dans of saltpeter, [-] dans of limestone, plant ash, etc. Is my sixth master going to refine elixir?No matter what happens, Xiaoying has to listen to his master. He took Xiaolu and gave the blueprints of the plants to a few people in the village to pick them. The herbal pickers who got her looked at her as if she was a fool, but Mianli had just told her so, so Xiaoying could only follow through.

On the way, Xiaoying and Xiaolu sat in the carriage, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, always feeling that their sixth master was getting more and more confusing.Xiaoying ranted against Xiaolu: "You said that the chicken and duck are nothing, will Liu Ye let me buy it?"

Xiaolu hurriedly drove the carriage, and said with a smile, "Sister Yingzi, do you think Liu Ye is forgetful?"

Xiaoying thought about motivating herself and Xiaolu to catch money in the chicken barbecue at the Master's house in the middle of the night, and shook her head: "Our sixth master has been making troubles for a long time..."

Xiaolu felt weird when he heard that word, but he didn't know how to say it, so he nodded in agreement!Mianli's decisions must be completed when he makes them, and the servants must arrange them in advance.So when she came back from the town, Xiaoying bought chickens, ducks and dolphins in advance, and it was a long and lively queue along the way.

Mianli heard Xiaoying said with a smile: "Master Liu, I bought everything that should be bought, and brought back all the chickens and ducks."

The cotton that was drinking water spouted water all at once: "Ah, have you bought all the hairy ones?"

Xiaoying was taken aback: "The ones with fur?" She scratched her head, then nodded: "Yes, Mr. Liu, they are all with fur, there are hundreds of them!"

Mianli stood up: "Where are they all?"

Seeing Mianli's excited look, Xiaoying thought she had done the right thing: "All the slaves have been placed in the enclosure on the other side of the wasteland."

Mianli waved her hands tremblingly and pointed at Xiaoying: "You, you, not bad! Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu, call all the girls at home, and go to the barren mountain to set up a pot to boil hot water for me!"

Mianli didn't dare to stop, and said to Xiaoying: "You, follow me to the storeroom to get the medicinal materials!" As he spoke, he ran towards the storehouse, and ran back after a while, so Xiaoying had to follow her around.

"Lady, quickly give me the key to the storeroom." Mian Li reached out to Bu Qi.

"What?" Bu Qi asked instead of giving it directly.

Mianli scratched her head: "I need to get some honeysuckle and other medicinal materials."

Bu Qi frowned: "What are you doing with those? Just tell me what you need."

Mianli spread her hands: "Lady, do you know that there is a saying that if a family is rich, those with hair don't count?"

Bu Qi frowned: "No!"

Mianli saw that Buqi didn't respond, she pointed at Xiaoying: "It's her, she bought a bunch of chickens and ducks, what if there is chicken plague?"

"Chicken plague?" Both Buqi and Xiaoying opened their mouths in shock.

"After days of heavy rain, there must be disasters everywhere. After the big flood, there are dirty things in the water. The first ones to get sick are these furry livestock. Once the livestock get sick, the people who are with them will not be spared, so my lady. ..." Mianli talked to Buqi carefully.

Bu Qi gasped, and took out a large bunch of copper keys from the cage: "Go, I'll go with you."

Seeing Buqi's panicked appearance, Mianli couldn't bear it, but people without foresight must have near-term worries. The corpses of beasts killed and injured by continuous rainstorms foamed, and there must be bacteria left in the river water.

Mianli's heart twitched, the villagers here are used to drinking river water.

She hurriedly wrote a series of things and asked Xiaolu to send them to the elders of each family, and the preventive action in Suilin Village began in full swing. . .
