Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 541

In the evening, Li Chaosheng hurried back to the county government office after eating the big pot of rice, and asked Gu Zi to send someone home to deliver a message to Princess Changyu. The government affairs are waiting for my handling, and I must stick to my post at all times, so that everyone who needs to make up their own minds can find me and the backbone of Lantian at the first time.

No way, sometimes being the top leader is so tiring. No wonder some people say that being an emperor is worse than being a prince. A prince can eat, drink, have fun, and enjoy life to the fullest, but an emperor can’t. If an emperor wants to be a good person, he must be at work all the time , otherwise the empire will definitely decline.

Just like Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty after Zhu Di, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty after Yongzheng are the same.

But if you let Li Chaosheng choose whether to be the emperor or the prince, Li Chaosheng will definitely choose to be the emperor without hesitation.

Li Chaosheng hurried into the office, and then he was blocked in the room by Guo Bao from the Political Department and Yang Shubai, the No.1 ideological coordinator of Lantian.

"You are back, County Honorable. If you don't come back, we are all ready to go to the disaster area to find you."

Guo Bao and Yang Shubai approached and said anxiously to Li Chaosheng, Li Chaosheng looked at the two in surprise after hearing this, and said, "Why are you so anxious?"

Guo Bao looked at Yang Shubai at this moment, and Yang Shubai said, "You go ahead."

Guo Bao also cupped his hands politely and said: "Master Xian, it's like this. According to the summary of today's intelligence by the Secret Service, it was found that although the power of the earthquake did not reach the level of the legendary collapse of the sky, its scope was extremely wide. Disasters have occurred in Henan, Hubei, Shanxi and other places, and their chief envoys have written a note to the imperial court immediately, do you think it is necessary for us to give a note to Chongzhen as well?"

"Subscribe to Chongzhen?"

Li Chaosheng frowned slightly when he heard the words. He hadn't done this for many years. Ever since Li Chaosheng got married and married the younger sister of the King of Qin, he had completely lost contact with the royal family. Picking out Lantian, it seems that Lantian or the whole of Shaanxi is no longer the territory of Ming Dynasty. Every year, except for the tax collectors who are reluctant to pay taxes in Lantian, almost all officials of Ming Dynasty have cut off ties with Lantian.

But today, Guo Bao asked Li Chaosheng to write a book for Chongzhen, what is the purpose of this?

Guo Bao saw what Li Chaosheng was thinking and said with a smile: "Honorable County, Chongzhen is suspicious and cautious, short-scheming, self-willed, and has even more evil intentions towards our Lantian. Over the years, there have been many targets in various aspects, and he regards Lantian as his confidant. Enemy, now we say that we have been seriously affected by the disaster, and if we pass the booklet to the imperial court, Chongzhen will definitely be overjoyed after reading it, and then relax our vigilance against us, so that we can let go of our hands and feet and do a big job."

"Furthermore, Henan, Shanxi, and Hubei are all on the paper. If we don't, I'm afraid we will become a thorn in Chongzhen's side. It will make his petty mind hate our Lantian even more. I'm afraid he will target our Lantian even more."

Guo Bao watched Li Chaosheng talk about the pros and cons of what he thought, and Li Chaosheng nodded slightly when he heard the words. What Guo Bao said made some sense. Not to mention a weak name or something.

Li Chaosheng thought about looking at Yang Shubai who stood aside and didn't make any comments. Li Chaosheng likes to brainstorm and understand other people's ideas from various aspects, so as to check for omissions and fill in gaps, so as to make his plan more perfect, so Li Chaosheng asked Yang Shubai: " Lao Yang, what do you think about this matter?"

"Showing the enemy weak and weakening their hostility is a very good method at this time. If the county lord can operate it well, a copy of the book can be sent to Chongzhen. Lantian has suffered a natural disaster. He is currently in a state of desperation and has no time to take care of him. The illusion of doing other things."

"It's really convenient for us to do some things."

Yang Shubai expressed his approval of Guo Bao's plan, Li Chaosheng nodded slightly and said, "Very good, then I'll write a note."

Li Chaosheng wanted a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, at this time Guo Bao ground it for Li Chaosheng and said: "The county lord can exaggerate, but the chief envoys in other places have exaggerated."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng thought for a while and said, "Understood, Chongzhen and people in the court want to see Lantian's unlucky appearance, so let's satisfy them once."

Thinking of Li Chaosheng, he picked up his pen and started writing. The beginning of the chapter was full of clichés. The specific content was that Lantian suffered heavy losses in the Earth Dragon disaster, and the houses in the county collapsed. Li Chaosheng thought about it. The actual number of collapses should be around [-]. But Li Chaosheng thought for a while and wrote down directly: [-].

More than [-] houses collapsed in the county.

As for the affected population, more than 100 people were injured and about [-] people died, so write more and double it a hundred times. Thinking of what Li Chaosheng wrote: more than [-] people were injured and more than [-] people died.

After writing these, Li Chaosheng looked up at Guo Bao and said, "Is it too exaggerated? If this is multiplied by a hundred times, will people see the flaw at a glance?"

Li Chaosheng thought about it, but saw that Guo Bao's face was darkened. At this time, Guo Bao pointed to the disaster report on the paper and said: "Master, I asked you to exaggerate, why did you write such a small person?" Ah, you handed it to Chongzhen, and Chongzhen didn’t regard us as a serious problem, the whole northwest was severely affected, and you, Lantian, are fine.”

"It's all right?"

Li Chaosheng's face darkened after hearing Guo Bao's words, and he pointed to the number on the paper that he thought was exaggerated. This has already increased the real death value by a hundred times, isn't that exaggerated enough?

If you dare to report this to the leader in future generations, the leader can tear you alive, believe it or not?

Li Chaosheng looked at Guo Bao at this moment and said, "I exaggerated a hundred times, what else do you want?"

Guo Bao sighed and said, "Master, you are too sincere, come and see how the Henan chief envoy gave the emperor's memorial."

Guo Bao took out a telegram from his pocket, which was just sent from Henan today.

Li Chaosheng was not at all surprised that Guo Baoneng knew the content of the memorial to the emperor written by the Henan chief envoy. Now the secret spy department has been arranged very deeply. Among other things, even the imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty now has a secret spy department. It can be seen that the Lantian Secret Service is powerful.

In fact, this is also very normal. You must know that the largest food company in Lantian, Jixiangji, except for the operation of its own store, all other profits can be assigned to the secret spy company. Jixiangji's annual profit starts at a million taels Yes, it has been opened all over Daming, this amount of money is enough for the Secret Service Division to do a lot of things.

Guo Bao took out a telegram and reported: "Your Majesty, please listen to the memorial of the Chief Envoy of Henan. The earthquake in Henan was the heaviest in Mianchi. The sky and the earth in the city collapsed. It was like the end of the world. In addition, all the houses collapsed, and the damage is estimated to be no less than 30, and more than [-] people were crushed to death. It was horrible, horrible..."

"30 houses collapsed? 5 people were crushed to death?? How many earthquakes happened in Henan?"

Li Chaosheng's eyes widened, Guo Bao heard the words and said: "Returning to the county lord, it is lighter than Lantian."

"Then so many people died? Is this unscientific?"

Li Chaosheng was puzzled, and Guo Bao continued: "Master, the real situation is that more than 3000 people have died in Henan, and many houses have collapsed. After all, most of their houses are made of yellow mud, which are not strong, but he didn't say anything." Such an exaggeration damaged 30 giants."

Li Chaosheng heard this and said: "Three thousand people dare to say that it is 3000. They are more ruthless than me. No, he exaggerated ten times. I exaggerated a hundred times. Why do you say that I am not as good as him?"

Guo Baodao: "Xianzun, are we here to play math games? Our Lantian is due to your wise leadership and the disaster is not serious, but we can't report it truthfully, otherwise our Lantian will be an outlier among this group of people. , won't you be more hated?"

Li Chaosheng smiled wryly and said: "I already felt that I was shameless enough, but I didn't expect these chief envoys to be more shameless than me, Guo Bao, please let me take it easy, I have stopped bragging like this for many years, and my thinking can't keep up. "

Guo Bao said: "I will read to you the disaster reports from other places, let's look for inspiration."

"Li Shouguang, the governor of Hubei, said in the memorial: When the earthquake hit, the ground cracked and the spring gushed, and the spray was four or five feet high..."

"Stop, the fountain in Hubei was shaken out, or the tap water pipe was broken. How dare Li Shouguang say that."

Guo Baodao: "In Xiangyang, the epicenter, 20 houses collapsed. During the period, dead bodies were everywhere, no one buried them, and the stench was suffocating. Preliminary estimates indicate that there were no less than [-] to [-] casualties."

"This is better than Henan."

Li Chaosheng couldn't help complaining, and Guo Bao continued: "This is what the governor of Sichuan said. The ground in Hanzhong was cracked, the black water was surging, and there were loaches rolling. I don't know why. During the earthquake, the river dried up, the mountains collapsed, and the villages I don’t know how many people were buried in the mountains, the walls of the city collapsed, the government offices have been turned into flat ground, and over [-] to [-] soldiers and civilians were crushed to death. There are countless cattle, horses and livestock lying in the ruins. I hand over this memorial and ask the imperial court to rescue the disaster quickly.”

Guo Bao said to Li Chaosheng: "Your Majesty, look at the chief executive, and in the end you know how to sell miserably and want a subsidy. Look at what you wrote. Is 2000 people dead? "

Li Chaosheng said with a dark face when Guo Bao said: "These bastards are talking nonsense with their eyes open, aren't they afraid of thunder?"

Guo Baodao: "If God has eyes, there may not be many living people in the Ming Dynasty officialdom."

"I feel like I'm not offline for giving memorials to Chongzhen like this. I didn't expect this group of people to be shameless."

Guo Baodao: "In the face of interests, these officials are more likely to compromise than anyone else. Although Chongzhen has become a skinny and skinny donkey, no matter what, he can still scrape two taels of oil off him. They said it was miserable. Some, in the future there will be more benefits.”

Li Chaosheng sighed and said: "The imperial court has run out of money, and this group of chief ministers have made great calculations, but they probably won't get much benefit."

"More or less, Chongzhen will definitely give some, and it can't be too shabby, otherwise he won't be able to explain to the people of the world."

Guo Bao sighed and said, "This disaster really made things worse for Daming."

Li Chaosheng heard the words: "What did Chongzhen tell the people of the world? This disaster is a natural disaster, what has it to do with the emperor?"

Guo Bao said with a smile: "My lord, sometimes you are extremely smart, and sometimes your questions are really naive. What are natural disasters? Natural disasters are God's punishments on the emperor and the ruling class. , God will not send down disasters."

"Heh~ It's nonsense. You also went to Lantian College to attend classes. Isn't this earthquake a natural phenomenon caused by the movement of the earth's crust? Where did God send punishment?"

After hearing this, Guo Bao said: "Your Majesty, we understand this truth, but the thousands of people in Ming Dynasty don't understand. Since ancient times, whenever a natural disaster occurs, it means that the people in power have lost their moral character. This is the deep-rooted idea of ​​the people. Now you tell them that the earth's crust is moving, it's unrealistic, and they won't believe it. By the way, the county lord, Yang Shubai came to you for this matter."

As Guo Bao spoke, he brought the topic to Yang Shubai, and Yang Shubai took a step forward and said, "The county lord."

Li Chaosheng looked at Yang Shubai and said, "What's the situation? It wouldn't be the Lantian earthquake. The common people think that I have lost my virtue, right?"

Li Chaosheng looked at Yang Shubai and asked, Yang Shubai was silent for a moment and said: "Not yet, but the investigation department has arrested some of the people who caused trouble after the earthquake. Grasping this point, they crazily publicized everywhere in Lantian that the Lantian earthquake was due to the lack of morality of the county lord, who offended the heavens, and the disaster would come down from the gods. A bigger disaster will cause the common people in Lantian to follow suit!"

"Do the people believe it?"

Li Chaosheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Li Chaosheng is no stranger to this method, and people in later generations often do this kind of thing, especially in the beautiful country, who especially likes to do this kind of thing in other countries.

It is a terrible thing that a war has even been waged in a major oil country.

Hearing what Yang Shubai said, Li Chaosheng understood the seriousness of this matter, and he must take it seriously. This must be other forces, who felt that it was too difficult to take down Lantian from the outside, so they wanted to dismantle Lantian from the inside. It can't be said that the intention is not poisonous.

Li Chaosheng is more concerned about the thoughts of the people now.

"Do the people believe it?"

Yang Shubai shook his head and said: "At present, no one has publicly expressed support for this idea. The merits of the county lord are obvious to all. It is not someone who can slander the county lord with a few bad words. The people are not stupid. It is not someone who stands up and says If the county honors its virtues, they will believe them."

"They have a certain ability to discern, but the county lord, since this incident has started, there will definitely be people who will continue to make a fuss about it, and the people may not believe it once or twice, but after a long time, there will always be someone If you are restless, you have to guard against it, so we can't take this matter lightly, otherwise disaster will happen."

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng nodded lightly and said, "Well, indeed, what do you think?"

Li Chaosheng asked Yang Shubai back.
