The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 273 Disaster Relief Strategy

"It's useless to say more, the most urgent thing is to think about how to save Liaodong!" Xuan Shijing said aloud.

"Yes, the imperial court must allocate funds to go to Liaodong." Li Ke said: "However, compared with money, it may be more practical to purchase and transport materials directly from the surrounding areas. I don't know if everyone here has any good ideas?"

Hearing this, Li Chengqian glanced at everyone.

The officials of the Eastern Palace who were present discussed in twos and threes, and began to discuss feasible solutions around the purchase of materials from surrounding state capitals and transportation to Liaodong for disaster relief that Li Ke said.

After the officials of the Eastern Palace were purged by His Majesty Li Er, all the officials left behind were genuine officials, some rising stars, and some highly respected veterans, so after some discussion, they quickly came up with a few feasible ideas. Of the policy.

"Your Highness, the ministers and others believe that this matter should be reported to His Majesty immediately, and His Majesty will allocate relief funds from the national treasury and escort them to Liaodong by the left and right military guards." Yu Zhining got up and said.

"In addition, it should be ordered that the surrounding prefectures mobilize supplies and send people to escort them to the Liaodong Camp. Now, for Liaodong, supplies are more important than money." Wang Gui cupped his hands and said.

"The matter of money, food and materials is easy to talk about. What do you think of Goguryeo's reaction?" Li Chengqian asked.

Liaodong suffered a catastrophe, and Quangai Suwen and Gao Jianwu fought with each other in Goguryeo. At this juncture, it is very likely that Quangaisuwen will use this excuse to attack Liaodong. After all, Goguryeo has been adopting a defensive posture for so many years. But it has been eyeing Liaodong.

"Your Highness, now that Crown Prince Rongliu is still in the Tang Dynasty, Gao Jianwu would never dare plot against Liaodong." Yu Zhining said.

"No, you must be defensive." Li Ke said calmly: "My lords, don't forget that now Gao Jianwu is wantonly eradicating dissidents in Goguryeo, and now the princes and ministers of Goguryeo are all living in fear, and they are already dissatisfied with Gao Jianwu. Gao Jianwu's move to build the Great Wall was already Sima Zhao's heart in Tang Dynasty, and passers-by know that if Gao Jianwu plans to plot Liaodong at this time, he will shift the attention of the whole country of Goguryeo to Liaodong."

"But there is Silla beside Goguryeo." Li Tai frowned: "So, Silla's attitude is very important."

"This..." Yu Zhining and Wang Gui looked at each other and murmured.

"But no matter what, the most basic thing we have to do is disaster relief. Regarding the snow disaster in Liaodong this time, Chang'an not only should not hide the envoys from Fanbang, but also carry out disaster relief vigorously and aboveboard." Xuan Shijing said .

"What good strategy does Xiao Jing have?" Li Chengqian looked at Xuan Shijing.

Yu Zhining, Wang Gui and other officials of the East Palace also set their eyes on Xuan Shijing.

Xuan Shijing smiled, thinking in her heart, it's time for you to experience the power of the people.
"Now that envoys from all over the world are gathering in Chang'an, every move of the court must be hidden from these people. If you can't hide it, then don't hide it. Which country has no natural disasters, especially the land of the Tang Dynasty is so vast. This time, just Let those foreign envoys see that our Great Tang attaches great importance to the borderlands and loves the border soldiers and civilians, at least from now on, let them respect the Great Tang from the bottom of their hearts."

Li Chengqian nodded: "That's right, the foreign envoys are all in Chang'an now, as long as they work hard, it's not difficult to detect the movement in the court, but, Xiao Jing, what are you going to do?"

"As long as the three Highnesses are willing to endure a bit of hardship, all of this will not be difficult." Xuan Shijing said with a smile while narrowing her eyes.

Seeing Xuan Shijing's expression, Li Tai looked at Xuan Shijing suspiciously, looked at Li Chengqian and Li Ke again, and said hesitantly: "You first tell your countermeasures, and let the adults refer to it. It’s really effective, the three of us suffer a little, it’s nothing.”

"His Royal Highness King Wei, this is a good opportunity to earn fame. Which of the three of you has endured more hardships will increase your reputation faster." Xuan Shijing said with a smile on his face.

"This kind of good thing related to reputation, let the elder brother do it. Qingque and I will not compete with the elder brother. As the prince, the elder brother can't let us two princes steal the limelight, right? That's reasonable No." Li Ke said calmly.

"Little Jing, tell us your good strategy first, and I'll make a decision later." Li Chengqian looked at Xuan Shijing.

"Brother Jing, just talk." Jin Yang on the side was silent for a long time, and he also helped Li Chengqian speak.

"Okay." Xuan Shijing spread his hands: "The strategies Mr. Yu and Mr. Wang said are two necessary methods for disaster relief, but in places like Liaodong, once a disaster occurs, even if the imperial court allocates funds from the treasury, That is a drop in the bucket, even so, but what should be there is still needed, and the matter of mobilizing supplies from the surrounding states mentioned by Mr. Wang is also a feasible strategy, but only these are not enough, not enough to deter the surrounding tigers and wolves." Said Here, Xuan Shijing's words became resounding: "This time, we will use the disaster in Liaodong to let the envoys of various countries in Fanbang, Silla or Goguryeo around Liaodong see it. The power of the people of the Tang Dynasty! Do not use force to deter!"

In Datang, the royal family is the spiritual sustenance for the common people. If Li Chengqian and other princes are allowed to come forward to relieve the disaster, it will naturally benefit the reputation of the few people among the people. And this time, it is also a great opportunity for the Jinyang Charity Fund to come forward. Let Jinyang take over the donations from the people, let Li Chengqian and others take control in the court, and it is bound to make this disaster relief in Liaodong a great success in the Tang Dynasty, so that all the people can participate!
Writing big-character posters and giving a few speeches, these methods that have been used rottenly have not yet appeared in Datang.

"Little Jing, don't play tricks!" Li Tai glared at Xuan Shijing angrily, as if if you don't say anything, I will beat you up.

"It's easy to handle. First of all, His Royal Highness needs to petition. The officials of the East Palace and the Wudedian Literature Museum are fully responsible for the disaster relief in Liaodong. No one can interfere! The civil disaster relief is all handled by the general manager of the Jinyang Foundation." lead, and then directly report to His Royal Highness Wei Wang." Xuan Shijing said.

"Oh? That's right, we still have the Jinyang Charity Fund!" Jinyang also remembered at this time that there is an organization named after himself in Xuanwulou. The money is not a small amount, and now all the money should be sealed in Xuanwu's underground warehouse.

"It's not difficult." Li Ke said with a smile: "It's not a one-time or two-time job for the elder brother to be in charge of government affairs. This is because this matter has to bypass the six departments. I'm afraid it will take a little effort."

"It's not difficult. The treasury allocates relief funds. If it is escorted, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will personally lead the soldiers led by the Crown Prince's left and right guards in the Eastern Palace." Xuan Shijing said.

"Xiaojing means that I will escort the disaster relief funds and supplies to Liaodong alone?" Li Chengqian looked at Xuan Shijing in disbelief.
