After I bloom, a hundred flowers will kill

Chapter 630

Autumn was getting stronger, Shen Xihe estimated that the summer vacation in the palace would be coming to an end, and Xiao Huayong should come back soon, but he did not expect that the heavy rain in Dengzhou had never stopped. Since that night, it has been raining for five consecutive days. Never rest or even decrease.

The originally ecstatic Dengzhou people gradually turned pale, and even the Dengzhou government appeared worried. Jing Wang Xiao Changyan and Yan Wang Xiao Changgeng did not evacuate Dengzhou because of the heavy rain.

Emperor Youning has not yet breathed a sigh of relief, Dengzhou has once again become his heart disease, in order to prevent it from happening, he ordered the Dengzhou government to keep a close eye on the people close to the mountains and forests, Xiao Changyan and Xiao Changgeng had already died before receiving the order. They split up, but it was still a step too late.

Seven days of continuous heavy rain caused many hillsides to slip and fall, and nearby villagers suffered heavy casualties. Only small mountain villages with experienced villages and well-managed villages suffered less losses.

Most of Dengzhou has just experienced a drought in the hottest day. Without even breathing, it fell into a torrential rain and mudslides. During the drought, there is no hope but anxiety in the heart. At this moment, many people have been displaced and their families have been destroyed.

Along the coast of Dengzhou, if the heavy rain continues, it will definitely not only be affected by the villagers who are surrounded by mountains and seas. Once the coast bursts, most of Dengzhou will be flooded, and even neighboring counties will be affected.

The landslide has not been resolved yet, and the water reports from the flood stations in Dengzhou are delivered to Emperor Youning's imperial case.

Compared with the drought, the flood in front of him made Emperor Youning look more dignified, and the whole court scratched their heads, hoping to get through this hurdle as soon as possible.

The drought situation can at least be supported by all parties. Now that there will be floods in Dengzhou, landslides will occur in various roads, and it will be difficult to transport disaster relief items.

"Your Highness, Mr. Tao has gone to Dengzhou." Pearl hurriedly sent a letter to Shen Xihe.

Shen Xihe stood up suddenly, and took the news from Xiao Huayong, Tao Zhuanxian invited himself to go to Dengzhou to inspect the disaster situation with the Minister of Industry.

The Ministry of Industry is in charge of water conservancy, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is even older than Tao Zhuanxian. In the past, he used to pretend to be deaf and dumb when facing court disputes, but he was never ambiguous when it came to critical moments. With rich experience in water control, only Tao Zhuanxian can compare with it when looking at the entire imperial court.

When Tao Zhuanxian was a magistrate ten years ago, there was a severe flood in Ganzhou, and he saved tens of thousands of lives by himself.

After reading Xiao Huayong's letter, although Shen Xihe was worried, there was nothing he could do. This was his grandfather's own wish. She had a way to get Tao Zhuanxian back, but neither she nor Xiao Huayong did it. I know, this is the belief in Tao Zhuanxian's heart.

Apply what you have learned, as an official, you should plead for the common people and seek blessings for the weak.

"Go to the palace." Shen Xihe made a decision immediately.

She has almost finished dealing with the affairs in the palace, and now Dengzhou is facing floods again. At this time, Emperor Youning is not in the mood to bring people back to the palace in a mighty manner. How many urgent messages will be delayed on the way for a day?

My grandfather went to Dengzhou. Although in this matter, even if it is a political opponent, he would not dare to take advantage of it at a critical moment. Otherwise, it would be a disaster of extermination, unless it is a rebel. If it can be stopped, the people will be better off, and they will have the time and energy to climb up according to their own abilities.

If the people of Dengzhou let it go, no matter how many benefits they get, they will only stand at the top to clean up the mess in the end, and Emperor Youning has accumulated power for a long time, so they dare not be selfish at this time.

Man-made disasters are unlikely, but natural disasters strike at any time, Shen Xihe is worried about Tao Zhuanxian, Xiao Huayong will inevitably be distracted to pass on news to her at any time, and try to appease her, if she goes to the palace, and Xiao Huayong In one place, there can also be business and quantity.Sometimes, we can know each other immediately without such trouble.

"Is there any news from Qi Pei?" Shen Xihe asked suddenly while sitting in the carriage.

As early as when the drought first appeared, Shen Xihe had already told Qi Pei to put down everything in his hands, Annan, Anbei and other places secretly harvested grain, in order not to cause the rice grain to be extorted, he had to go to several places.

Most of the food in the national treasury was invested in Dengzhou before, and this time, His Majesty may not be able to produce food.

"Qi Pei and Hua Taoyi have raised 30 shi of grain, this is the news delivered five days ago." Biyu replied.

30 shi is a huge amount, but if there is a real flood and the flood lasts longer, the food will be a drop in the bucket.

"A few days ago, grain in Jiangnan and other places died. Your Majesty decreed that if there is a sudden increase in rice grain in various places, it will be tantamount to conspiracy and execution." Bi Yu added.

There have always been a lot of people who have made money in the country, and even the rulers have nothing to do about natural disasters. It is absolutely impossible to not allow people to benefit from it, but they must not cross the line, otherwise they will feed the merchants and hurt the foundation of the country.

Shen Xihe was silent: "Send a letter to Qi Pei and ask him to stop collecting grain."

It wasn't obvious before, but now His Majesty has issued an order. If you collect grain on a large scale at this time, it will cause fire. Moreover, 30 shi is no longer a small amount.

"You asked Hua Fuhai to stop harvesting grain?" As soon as Shen Xihe arrived at the palace, Xiao Huayong received the news, took him back to the room, and personally handed him a cup of tea made by Ping Zhongye.

"Yeah." Shen Xihe moistened his lips and nodded, "You are not His Majesty, you are not His Majesty, and you and I shouldn't show off in this matter. If Hua Fuhai can provide all the food supplies by himself, His Majesty may not tolerate it." If you don’t let him go, and such a large amount of food, you and I can’t pay for it.”

It's not that they can't afford it, but they can't do it.

"Yo Yo is planning to..." Xiao Huayong had a smile on his lips.

"Although Your Majesty has issued an order not to raise grain prices everywhere, it may not be easy to completely control them." Shen Xihe said his plan, "Let's see if Dengzhou is really unfortunate to be hit by floods. It is really unfortunate, so let Hua Fuhai contacted the household department and sold it to the imperial court at a low price for disaster relief, and he took the lead, and it was a huge stone of 30 stones. How dare others hide it, or sell it to the imperial court at a high price?"

This is the best way. Collecting grain is not for making money, but for the disaster.The hard work of Hua Fuhai and his wife is regarded as accumulating merit.

"This method is very good." Xiao Huayong touched his chin, and it also prevented someone from borrowing the hands of merchants to make troubles secretly, "Let Hua Fuhai fight, take part of the money, and then accept the IOUs from the imperial court. This disaster can be resolved.”
