The second story of the ancient sword II

"That's right, the gluttonous chicken is of course powerful, and there are even more powerful ones they haven't seen before!" Wuyi's proud words made the gluttonous chicken feel a little embarrassed, stopped flopping and stood obediently on Wuyi's shoulder .

"Go to the mass grave."

"I am coming too!"

"My God!" Wuyi sighed as soon as he landed, "Fortunately, it's winter. If the heat doesn't suffocate people to death, it's all rotten here. When it rains again, the plague will spread..."

"So we need to deal with it as soon as possible." Yi turned to face the guards, "Look to see if there are any living people inside. It's the same, we two go over there to pile up the haystacks, and burn the corpses here later .”

Piles of shriveled corpses were turned over, and under the disheveled hair was a face with a stiff expression and a gray complexion.There are crows perched on the leafless branches waiting for the food below, but they are afraid of manpower, so they can only stare dryly.After being busy for a while, there were many angry people lying on the open space.The dazzling halo from the tip of Yi Ze's sword burst out and turned into nectar and sprinkled on the bodies of those people.It didn't take long before they regained consciousness.

"No difference, it's up to you next time!"

"No problem!" Wuyi's fist condensed the power of thunder, and he threw himself on the haystack with only two crackles and then went out.

"This is too madam... you don't give face? Why doesn't this spell work now?" It's like a face full of embarrassment.

"Pfft——" Yi smiled and handed over a fire bag, "It's okay, as long as it's not in battle."

"Try again!" Wuyi ran a long distance unwillingly, and finally the thunder broke out, and the haystack immediately burst into flames.

"Oh, I'm finally done!" Wuyi stretched her waist, "Yi Ze, you have to give me money for the bath, look at my stinky body, it's no wonder I don't get scolded to death by my mother when I go home!"

"That's true." Yi Ze turned around and took out his purse and handed it to the guards, "I'll send these people back to the poor alley first, and after that, go take a shower."

"Hey... I said Yi Ze." Wu Yi licked his lips.

"Your family is the richest man in Chang'an, and you can't afford this small amount of money? Let's go."

The guards put hay on the cart and placed the sick and weak victims on it.The sound of whips sounded, the horses roared, dust rose from their hooves, and the car quickly drove towards the poor alley.Wuyi and Yi walked and chatted along the side of the downhill road.The carriage ahead stopped.Looking up, I saw a luxurious six-horse carriage driving towards them.The person inside poked his head out, it was the second prince Li Kang.

"Third brother is so excited!" Li Kang has always been shameless, "It's so rare to come and help brother and I clean up this mess! It must be contaminated with bad luck, and it will take several days to go back, hahaha... ..."

"Even if it is bad luck, it is much stronger than the filthy aura on your body!" Yi Ze's eyes were full of frost.

"Hey, I said..." Wuyi took a step forward and was about to speak but was stopped by Yi Ze.

"You bribed the Water Superintendent to drain the water before the dry season, didn't you?" Yi Ze glanced across Li Kang's face like a sharp sword.

"Who said I asked him to release the water? I just..." Li Kang blurted out the words, and he regretted the words as soon as he left his mouth, and said, "It was the water supervisor who made me dereliction of duty, ah, no... it really is you……"

"Where is the water governor now?"

"No comment, third brother, please take care of yourself." Li Kang rubbed his eyebrows, "There is no proof, what can you do to me?"

"No proof?" Yi Ze pondered over the meaning of this sentence, suddenly secretly horrified.

The noisy sound of wheels sounded again, Li Kang proudly lowered the car curtain, and his car drove past them quickly.

"Yize, did I do something wrong? I shouldn't have been so reckless last night." Wuyi said with some annoyance, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."

"I also didn't think carefully enough. They may have been murdered, or they may have been transferred. Li Kang used money to buy people's hearts, and there are many capable people around him. I really overestimated myself!" Yi Ze Clenching his fists tightly, "One day, I will let him pay back all of these!"

As expected, when Wuyi and Yize rushed to the stone room at the upstream sluice, the barrier had been broken, and the mother and child had long since disappeared.

In the morning of the next day, there were many officials in the Taiji Hall. Emperor Shengyuan sat on a high gilded throne with a dragon embedded in it, and his majestic face was behind the luxurious curtain of the crown.Suddenly there was a commotion outside, the courtiers looked around, and it was Yi who stepped into the hall.Yi Zemai looked around at the ministers and said slowly, "I'm here only for disaster relief."

Emperor Shengyuan coughed a few times, and the courtiers turned their eyes back to him, and he said, "Is there any good strategy, but it's okay to say."

"It's approaching the end of the new year, and we can only wait for the next year to repair the land and plant grain. Now the most important thing is to distribute food for disaster relief." Yi Ze said lightly, "We can first distribute a part of the national stockpile..."

"Your Majesty, you can't..." The Taiwei stepped forward tremblingly, and held the Jade Dendrobium in front of him, "During the war, the grain and grass go first. The grain in the national stockpile is the food for the soldiers on the frontier, how can you release it at will?"

"What Ai Qing said is not unreasonable."

"I have other ideas, why not mobilize grain and grass from the south of the Yangtze River to Beijing." Taiwei added.

"Far water can't quench the near thirst, not to mention the severe drought in the south of the Yangtze River, many places have already failed to harvest." Emperor Sheng Yuan waved his hand, and his eyes fell on Yi Ze, wanting to see what his son had to say.

"To improve the disaster situation, the only way to improve the waterway is to divert the water from the Weihe River in the northwest into the city. At the same time, we can also drill wells to draw water. The seconded part of the national stockpile is used to appease the victims. To eat this food, we must go out of the city with the Imperial Guards to build water conservancy. Help dredging the abandoned river, which not only solves the living problems of the victims in the capital, but also prevents the victims from disturbing and causing trouble in Beijing, and at the same time, the drought can also be alleviated." Yi looked around, paused, and then said, "If you don't second the treasury There is also a way to solve the problem of food storage and food. Although everyone in the hall is not said to be rich and prosperous, they can be considered to have enough food and clothing. Every courtier donates a part of the family to solve the food problem of the victims."

"Well, I have grown." Emperor Shengyuan stroked his beard under his jaw.

"In addition, there are many courtiers who are good at calligraphy and painting, and they can also raise funds through the charity sale of calligraphy and painting, and use their work as relief." Yi added.

"Do you have any objections?" Emperor Sheng Yuan's sharp eyes scanned the ministers like arrows.

There was no sound in the hall, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally all eyes focused on Taiwei, the guy who lifted a rock and smashed himself in the foot.The Taiwei's face turned red and turned white. He wanted to frustrate the third prince's spirit, but he didn't expect to be tricked by this kid.

"Your Majesty, this method is very good, the old minister intends to take the lead in donating food!" Zuo Pushe came out of the queue, speaking loudly.His actions immediately attracted the support of many courtiers.

"It's so good. With Aiqing leading the way, the problem of food and grass will naturally be solved quickly. Yi Ze, I will leave it to you to do relief work for the victims and later water conservancy repairs." Emperor Shengyuan looked at him meaningfully. With a glance, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, "Zhen, I definitely won't miss it."

Zuo Pushe stood up again, bowed and said: "The old minister is willing to help His Highness deal with the disaster together."

"It's great to have Aiqing as your assistant, but would you like it?" After a pause, Emperor Shengyuan said loudly again, "I will pass on my will to allocate [-]% of the national stockpile to be distributed first, and the follow-up food will be donated by all Aiqing one after another. .”

"Yes." Yi Ze answered briefly, then turned around and strode towards the entrance of the hall.Emperor Sheng Yuan was also helpless for Yi Ze's indifference, watching his leaving figure, there was just a faint smile on his almost stiff face.
