The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 460 Cure Natural Disasters, Even Man-made Disasters (Full Order)

The rainfall of two feet and three inches in Guanzhong led to severe drought in Guanzhong.The severe drought in Guanzhong will not kill people, but the resulting reduction in food production will starve people to death.So if you want to accomplish this meritorious deed, you can start with praying for rain, and you can also start with solving the food crisis.

And to solve the food crisis... there are many ways.

Doesn't necessarily require spells.

……

After April, no one noticed that this year's spring rain is getting thinner, and some small water veins are gradually drying up.Only the good fields irrigated by the river are spared, while the dry land seedlings located on the plateau slopes are severely short of water.From April to May, there were only three rains, and it ended within an hour.

"We can only look at May. If there is no more rain in May, this year must be a disaster year. There must be locust plagues in severe droughts over the years..."

In the Hanyuan Hall, all the ministers held discussions.

Since Li Shimin came to the throne, he has worked hard to govern, wise and caring for the people, and the people in the political hall are not simple. Needless to say, Fang Mou's decision, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others are all capable ministers.

Therefore, whenever there are seedlings of drought in Guanzhong, these virtuous ministers will find out and prepare preventive measures.

Knowing that there will be a drought is not something out of the wild.For example, there are agricultural proverbs: "Drought will occur when the north wind blows in the ear.", "The winter solstice will be windy and cold in the middle of winter, and the winter solstice will be sunny for a week without rain, and there will be frost in the winter solstice, and the next year will be drought."

"Guanzhong is a granary. Although grain can be transferred from Bashu, Yuzhou, Jiangnan and other places. However, according to reports from various places, not only Guanzhong has reduced production this year, but other places are also not optimistic. Moreover, it will cost a lot to allocate grain from various places... ..."

Fang Xuanling said worriedly.

Guanzhong is the granary, on which the Qin, Han, Zhou and Sui all relied to rule the world.But after the reunification, Chang'an, as the capital city, not only supported a large number of clans and nobles, but also had a large number of slaves, servants, tooth soldiers, etc. who served the nobles. .The number of heavy soldiers in the North and South Yamen in Chang'an alone is not a small number.

Therefore, the emperor often went to Luoyi to eat in the year of disaster to relieve the food pressure in Guanzhong.

The severe drought in Guanzhong is definitely a difficult problem for the center of the Tang Dynasty.

"Order the senior officials in the court to present the memorial..."

"Discuss this drought."

Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, frowned deeply when he heard these words, and said in a deep voice.

If you listen, you will be dark, and you will be clear if you listen.

This is what he has always insisted on doing.

Every once in a while, he will let the officials of the DPRK and China go to the memorial to discuss the state affairs.Not only to solve government affairs, but also to select talented officials.

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Everyone was silent and saluted.

As the Zuo Supplements of the Menxia Province and the emperor's close minister, Bai Gui naturally has the obligation to submit memorials.

Drought, in later generations already have relatively complete coping methods.

He only needs to choose to copy and play.

Don't think it's not as powerful as praying for rain, but natural disasters are often accompanied by man-made disasters.According to the method of dealing with drought in later generations, the loss can be minimized.And this, as a minister, should do the most.

Advanced management experience is a kind of science, and it will never become obsolete wherever it goes.

And after accomplishing this, Bai Gui will be able to leave his name in history and write books and biographies.

Drought is severe, but the water used for plant irrigation, according to traditional agriculture, the water lost by plants under transpiration is more than 90.00% of the water absorbed by the roots.

In the feudal society, although it could not reach the high utilization of water by drip irrigation technology in a desert country in later generations.However, it is also feasible to save part of the grain and reduce production.

The operation is very simple, and it can be done by using the knowledge of collecting dew in the desert.

This is just a method mentioned by Bai Gui in the Memorial.

Now that part of the food has been preserved, the reduction in production will not be too severe.Then secondly, it is to minimize the number of people who starve to death due to drought, so this can be started from rations... .

Multiple methods, several prongs.Even though there is a severe drought in Guanzhong this year, the number of people who died of starvation will definitely be much less than in previous years.

……

late at night.

Li Shimin saw the pile of memorials until late at night.

"Pedantic, pedantic!"

"What's 'Hanei is fierce, so move its people to the east of the river. The east of the river is fierce, and it's the same.'. Wei Huiwang is only a corner of Wei State, and he can't get the whole territory of Yuzhou. It's okay to use this small country with few people. But the great Tang Dynasty In a big country, there is a severe drought in Guanzhong, how can we emigrate to other places for food."

"This is the way to create chaos."

He angrily threw a memorial to the ground and cursed angrily.

Dead reading, this is dead reading.

It seems that the words are reasonable, but for the country, the disaster caused by this kind of behavior is more terrible than natural disasters.When the people are out of control, it is like a wild horse running wild. Once someone instigates it, it will be a large-scale rebellion.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if the people are as smooth as sheep, they will not leave their hometown until the last step.As soon as they leave, it is equivalent to the property accumulated by the ancestors, which instantly disappears.

This is different from the rich and powerful eating elsewhere.

"Big acceptance, isn't this what His Majesty often says? This method is not acceptable, but why should Your Majesty be angry with it? If the memorials in the court are not so scholarly, but the same, then it's your Majesty's turn." Worrying..."

"Now that there is this fold, it just shows that your majesty is able to govern the country well."

A noble lady walked into the hall, picked up the memorial, put it in the pile of memorials that had been approved on the case, then walked behind Li Shimin, rubbed Li Shimin's shoulders, and said softly.

Li Shimin was still angry at first, but when he heard this, his depression subsided and he became much happier, "Guanyin Maid, you are right, if the court memorials are all the same, it will be my turn to worry."

Avalokitesvara is the nickname of Empress Changsun.

He then tirelessly continued to review the memorial.

"Huh? This memorial?"

Li Shimin concentrated on a memorial, trying to figure out the meaning of the memorial over and over again.

Occasionally, when I see Xingjin, I will slap my thigh and say good words.

As a queen, Empress Changsun is well aware of the scourge of harem meddling in politics, but this time she was also attracted by Li Shimin's demeanor. She walked around, took a closer look, and said softly: "The way to deal with disasters is nothing more than avoiding natural disasters. To deal with man-made disasters. Natural disasters, I dare not speak in vain. Madam, whoever is in trouble... Although the seedlings of the crops need to rely on the power of heaven, they can also be artificially collected by the rain and dew transpired in the morning, and then irrigated... ..."

"A grain of grain, a general who is good at conscripting, can be used as food for a hundred people for a month. A mediocre man can only supply half of it. To reduce disasters and save the people, the rations should not be used to feed the people. When saving the people, the grain of the righteous warehouse is the same. ..."

Strategies for dealing with droughts are listed in the memorial.

Be clear and not empty words.

Li Shimin read the memorabilia of thousands of words one by one, until he saw the end, he was still unsatisfied.

"Men Xia Xingzuo Supplements Bai Gui Playbook."

he repeated.

"This son is not simple. This memorandum, the court officials, should be the first."

After a while, he read it again and said to Empress Changsun.

"The concubine is also very happy to see this memorial."

After finishing speaking, Empress Changsun stepped down from Majesty Dan, stepped into the hall, tied up her palace clothes, bowed to Li Shimin, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, you have won another great talent as a minister and assistant."

"Queen, you are right."

"This son...is a talented prime minister."

Li Shimin stroked his beard and laughed.

This memorial, for today's Tang Dynasty, is like a timely rain.At the same time, Bai Gui's display of such talent is even more a happy event for the future Tang Dynasty.
