Chapter 179 Jiangzhong County is in trouble, the imperial court provides disaster relief, officials
Chapter 179 Jiangzhong County is in trouble, the imperial court provides disaster relief, officials are greedy for ink, do you think your life is too long?
Daxia Kyoto.
Feiyun Ancient Road.
An elite troop is rushing to Jiangzhong County at the fastest speed.
In the lead are hundreds of iron cavalry, opening the way in front, four hundred iron cavalry are escorting the left and right, and five hundred iron cavalry are protecting the rear.
In the center of the elite cavalry is a jade chariot galloping forward.
Inside the jade chariot.
Gu Jinnian is reviewing and approving an urgent military report. These are military aircraft information from Longxi County, Donglin County, and Nanyue County.
As for Gu Ningya, he was sitting on the sidelines, carefully examining and approving some relevant information. He would examine and approve matters within the court, and then inform Gu Jinnian.
Gu Jinnian was in charge of the emergencies in the three counties.
About half an hour later, Gu Jinnian completed the examination and approval of the military aircraft information, gave relevant opinions, put it in an envelope and handed it to Gu Ningya.
"Sixth Uncle, these military aircraft information, immediately sent for urgent escort."
Gu Jinnian let out a sound and let out a long breath.
For the past five days, he has been engraving the formation, and he has consumed too much energy and energy. Now he is even more sleepless, approving the memorial of the article, and he has not slept until now.
Martial king powerhouses naturally don't need to sleep, because the true energy in the body can keep people in a state of high spirits all the time, but if the true energy is exhausted, the body will naturally not be able to hold it.
This can also be considered as Gu Jinnian's physical strength, if it were any other strong Martial King, if he had engraved a thousand formations, he would be exhausted.
Gu Jinnian engraved [-] seats, which is the limit of the limit.
You can only hold on for a while at most, and you must take a good rest for a day, otherwise your body will not be able to bear it.
"it is good."
Gu Ningya took the document, walked out of the jade chariot, and after a while, entered the jade chariot again.
"Jinnian, we have sent someone to escort him urgently."
"What's the situation in Daxia now?"
Gu Ningya sat down in the jade chariot, and at the same time was a little curious, looking at Gu Jinnian and asking.
"There were too many casualties in the earthquake in Longxi County, and the rescue mission was very difficult. The crown prince led 30 troops, adding another 20 troops."
Gu Jinnian opened his mouth to explain the situation in Longxi County.
An earthquake is an earthquake.
The good thing is that the ancient houses are not too high, which is lucky for most people in the villages and counties. Unfortunately, some restaurants and inns in Fucheng suffered heavy losses, and the money is not bad.
Hitting the people is the key, the prince has already started to let the soldiers start rescue, but the disaster caused by the earthquake, the most difficult thing is rescue.
You don't know if there is anyone down here, but you can't bet, even if there is one person, you have to rescue them, and you can't let go of a chance.
The military aircraft information sent by the prince was to ask Gu Jinnian whether to rescue him in a targeted manner or in an all-round way.
As for this specificity, it is actually through some warriors to listen for the sound of breathing or the sound of the heart beating. This method has a certain effect, but it cannot be guaranteed to be 100% correct.
Gu Jinnian's advice was to try his best to rescue, and to rescue in a targeted manner. The place is too big, and when the martial artist hears the sound of a heart beating, he may be cold by the time he is rescued.
It's better to go directly to the rescue in a blanket manner, of course, first solve the confirmed situation, and then deal with the uncertain situation.
All in all, the common people must see the means of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Having 50 soldiers should be enough manpower."
Gu Ningya asked curiously.
"not enough."
"And the real trouble is not manpower, but food supply, water supply, and various material assistance."
Gu Jinnian shook his head, 50 troops might sound like an exaggeration, but if it's for disaster relief, it's really not that many.
However, the prince has already started to mobilize the people to fight the disaster together, which can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need.
However, the issue of food supplies is more important.
Where do the soldiers live?
Where did the rescued people live?
Where did the spared people live?
Food, drink, and medical resources, as well as refugee planning, including a series of things, all need people to do it, and they also need assistance from various aspects.
These are the scariest places.
Hearing this, Gu Ningya was a little silent. He usually had a playful smile on his face, but at this moment, he really didn't know what to say.
"In the year of Jin, the Ministry of Households came to report that the grain storage in Daxia has reached 800 and [-] shi."
"With so much food, it should be able to stabilize the rations of the three counties, right?"
When it comes to apprehension and interrogation, Gu Ningya is one of the top three in Daxia, but for this kind of economy, such as settling accounts, Gu Ningya has a big head and doesn't know right or wrong at all.
"Not necessarily enough."
Gu Jinnian shook his head. Hearing this number, he was only slightly relieved, at least he could withstand it in the early stage.
"Is this much enough?"
"Ten million shi grains, if these grains are used to fight, among other things, do you know how long it will last for a million troops?"
"Save some food, enough to fight for decades."
Gu Ningya really clicked his tongue.
The food storage of the whole country in Daxia is actually not enough?These stored grains will be used to fight wars. It is not an exaggeration at all to feed 100 million people for 50 to [-] years.
After all, a soldier's daily rations, if you save a catty of rice, 120 million shi is 30 million catties of grain, more than enough for [-] years.
Now it's not enough?How can this prevent Gu Ningya from telling the truth?
"Longxi County has a population of 400 million, and there are at least 500 million people affected by the disaster. Counting a certain amount of food surplus, plus the purchase of silver taels, there are at least [-] million people who need to be supported by the court."
"In addition to the 50 army, and the prince mobilizing the people to contribute, if you don't ask for money and two salaries, at least two meals must be taken care of, right?"
"In terms of conversion, there are tens of millions of mouths waiting to eat, and there is definitely only a lot more. Sixth uncle, think about it. With such turmoil, most of the people are homeless and have no income. Naturally, they are willing to help the court work and have a meal. Food and clothing."
"Half a catty of rations per day for one person, and 500 million catties of rations per day. If Longxi County wants to completely complete the rescue, it will take three months, even if the whole team works together?"
"This is 5000 million catties of rations and 370 million shi of grain."
"This is calculated on the basis of the minimum situation. Disaster relief is absolutely impossible to be strangled. There must be various variables. Three months is the best idea, and half a year is the normal situation. That is to say, at least 1000 million shi of grain is needed to be transported to the Only in Longxi County can the situation be stabilized."
"How much is the transportation cost for tens of millions of grains?"
"It's okay if it's close, but if it's far away, it's a good thing to have [-] shi of grain transported to Longxi County and [-] shi left."
"What is the labor cost required for this?"
"The comprehensive cost of transporting tens of millions of shi grains should be at least 3000 million to 5000 million shi grains."
Gu Jinnian made the simplest conversion method.
Transportation costs, labor costs, and time costs, just these three points, any one of them is actually more than the 1000 million shi of grain that was directly provided for disaster relief.
If grain can be transported directly to Longxi County without any cost, then the difficulties in Longxi County can be solved directly.
As long as there is enough food, Daxia will send soldiers to maintain order, boost morale, and mobilize the people. Everyone will work together, and then all over the country will come to help and solve this problem within half a year.
Will the court still have a headache?
It is because the cost of all parties is too high, and this is all the food stored in Daxia. If the food is transported to Longxi County regardless of the cost, what should the other disaster areas do?
"Even if 5000 million shi of grain can solve the problem, wouldn't it be great?"
Although Gu Ningya was shocked by these figures, he couldn't help but speak out.
Just because 800 and [-] shi of grain is a bigger number.
But inside the jade chariot, Gu Jinnian sighed, looked at his sixth uncle and said.
"uncle."
"Do you really not understand, or are you pretending to be stupid?"
Gu Jinnian was a little helpless.
Hearing this, Gu Ningya frowned first, but soon he realized something, and then he couldn't help but suppress his voice.
"You mean to say."
"Big Xia doesn't have so much grain in store?"
Gu Ningya probably understood what Gu Jinnian meant.
"Ten thousand and thirty-eight million shi of grain, this is the account of the Ministry of Accounts, not the actual situation. Believe it or not, if you really want the Ministry of Accounts to transport it, you will definitely find that there is no grain of rice in the official warehouses in some places."
Gu Jinnian said, the so-called sky is high and the emperor is far away, it is better to say that it is closer to the capital, if it is thousands of miles away, what is the grain stored in the official warehouse?
Well, no one would think there would be a disaster, would they?
It's like the Jiangnan area, which is extremely rich. Do you think this place will encounter trouble?
Drought?Just buy a rain charm and get it.
Flood?Sorry, the good fields are not near the river.
Who's okay to think about this?
And the food in the official warehouse is very valuable, not to mention too much, can I sell a tenth of it?
This is several million taels of silver, and it is all eaten by middle- and lower-level officials, because higher-level officials don't know how to think about granaries.
Looking back, something really happened, wouldn't it be enough to buy it with money and fill it in?
Then in three to five years, I found out, hey, it’s all right.
What should I do if I run out of money again?
Continue to sell?
Hungry to death timid, strenuously daring.
Anyway, selling a tenth is a capital crime, and selling everything is a capital crime. At least I have been chic, happy, rich, and happy in life.
This is a comfort in my heart. When it is really found out, it will be useful to cry to father and mother again?The answer is useless.
Is it useful for the court to kill him?Also useless.
Who is unlucky?
Common people chant.
That's the truth.
Therefore, in Gu Jinnian's eyes, half of the 800 and [-] shi of grain was thankful to God.
"If this kind of thing really happens, I'm afraid many people's heads will fall off."
Gu Ningya swallowed. As the commander of the Lantern Division, he saw too many corrupt officials. Gu Jinnian's worries were not fantasy at all. The possibility was very high, no, very high.
"Drop your head?"
"Sixth Uncle, believe it or not, it's okay to say that it's better to be closer to the capital, but officials farther away directly fill the food with sand, and then lie to the higher authorities. If there is trouble in the middle, the food is lost, or the bandit snatches it away. food."
Gu Jinnian sneered.
There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. This sentence is not empty talk.
"Damn, such a dog."
"I'm going to write a memorial now, and ask His Majesty to chop off all the heads of these people."
"No, don't cut it off, arrest the lamp master, I will let them live or die."
Gu Ningya cursed aloud, his teeth itching with anger.
"It's useless."
"Killing them won't solve the problem."
"Extraordinary times, extraordinary means."
"Uncle, you have to take action on this matter."
Gu Jinnian shook his head. He didn't bother to care about whether these corrupt officials were dead or not. He had to collect food right now. For other things, after the disaster relief was over, he would settle accounts slowly.
"Speak, Uncle, listen."
Gu Ningya was curious about what method Gu Jinnian would use to solve this hidden danger.
"Immediately ask the Ministry of Households to notify all places to transport grain and grass."
"Then arrest a group of people and kill them as an example."
"You ask your people to go to various granaries to check, but tell them the news and say it directly. After you go, such officials must be afraid, so let your people accept bribes. We will take as much as they give."
"All the money received will be handed over, half will be reserved for the Lantern Division as funds, and the other half will be given to the imperial court to replenish the national treasury."
"Let your subordinates inform them, deliberately delaying time, and let them rush to buy food to fill up, and buy as much as they can. No matter how greedy these officials are, they know that life is more important."
"This way at least the food can be delivered."
Gu Jinnian said, he doesn't care about these right and wrong, he only cares about one thing, transporting the grain, everything is easy to talk about, liquidation later, family property confiscated, dismissed from office, relegated to the frontier, as long as he doesn't do too bad things, it's better to save the lives of the whole family OK.
At least make up for it.
"That's a good idea."
"This trick is really wonderful. You said that we all have only one head, so why did you come up with such a method?"
"it is good."
"Leave this matter to Sixth Uncle, Sixth Uncle will handle it."
There was light in Gu Ningya's eyes, Gu Jinnian's plan was really good.
Pretending to tip off the news is actually another way to get these officials to fight for it.
After all, when the people from the imperial court came, they were at a dead end. The law was there, and the imperial court could not decree what to say.
Once this happens, it will cause a bad trend. At that time, everyone will go to sell food. Anyway, if there is a crisis, they will buy it back if it is a big deal, and they will not die.
The lower the cost of crime, the higher the crime rate.
Moreover, this kind of thing is only suitable for extremely serious disasters. If it is an ordinary disaster, for example, only one place in Longxi County is affected, it will not give any chance at all.
Kill it.
Only this kind of catastrophic disaster is really a special situation, so I played it secretly.
To put it bluntly, if Gu Jinnian decides who advances and retreats, whether he wants to live or die, it depends on Gu Jinnian's words.
This is the political method, to solve the matter, leaving spare energy.
"The difficulty in Longxi County is difficult in logistics. If we can really transport 1000 million shi of grain, the situation can be stabilized, and all costs can be controlled within 5000 million shi of grain."
Gu Jinnian said that he had the ears of real dragon rice, and he was not afraid even if the grain in Daxia's official warehouse was exhausted.
Give yourself two years to ensure that the official granary is full of grain, and even expand the granary.
"If the Xuandeng Secretary has informed in advance, the problem will not be difficult, and the difficulty in Longxi County can be regarded as settled."
Gu Ningya uttered his thoughts.
"Well, after all, Longxi County still has the problem of natural disasters. If there is a strong will, all directions will come to help, and the food and grass will be stable. Naturally, the crown prince can take advantage of this opportunity to stabilize the crown prince."
When Gu Jinnian spoke up, he thought so too.
But when it comes to the position of crown prince, Gu Ningya's expression can't help but change slightly.
"Jinnian, have you already chosen the crown prince?"
He looked at Gu Jinnian.
It doesn't matter if others mention the word Chujun, but when the Gu family mentions it, there are more or less other elements in it.
After all, the Gu family is too big, especially Gu Jinnian. In His Majesty's eyes, the entire Gu family is definitely not as good as Gu Jinnian. Naturally, the Gu family can now choose the emperor.
"Let it be."
"It's a good thing that the prince is benevolent in governing the country. The Great Xia Dynasty has gone through the founding battle and encountered all kinds of wars. It really needs a benevolent king to govern the country so that the country can cultivate itself."
"But the battle for destiny has emerged, and it needs to be fought. The King of Qin is also good, but the distinction between the elder and the younger is an ancient principle. My nephew has no intention of getting involved in the battle for the crown prince. Let them handle it by themselves when the time comes."
"If Your Majesty chooses the Prince, my nephew will assist the Prince with peace of mind. If Your Majesty chooses the King of Qin, my nephew will also assist the King of Qin with peace of mind, that's all."
Gu Jinnian spoke up and expressed his thoughts on the prince.
Whether it is the prince or the king of Qin, each has its own advantages, but the issue of seniority is ultimately recognized by the world.
In the final analysis, both of them still have advantages, but the prince's advantage is bigger.
Of course, if the prince really did something wrong or bad, Gu Jinnian would not support the prince.
Inside the jade chariot.
Gu Jinnian finally understood.
As long as the crown prince does not make mistakes, then there is no big problem for the crown prince to ascend the throne.
"But what if His Majesty insists on asking you?"
"Jinnian, King Qin has a very good relationship with our Gu family. He has been with the old man since he was a child. The old man also said that King Qin is his half-grandson."
"What should you do at this time?"
Gu Ningya continued to ask aloud.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the jade chariot became a little dignified.
It is true that King Qin has a very good relationship with the Gu family. It can be seen from his daily behavior that King Qin really regards Gu Jinnian as his brother. This friendship is here, and it is impossible to say that it has no influence.
After all, Gu Ningya is actually more inclined to King Qin.
"Let's talk later."
"Let's continue talking about the disaster."
Gu Jinnian didn't want to talk about this topic. At least Emperor Yongsheng is still alive and healthy. I'm afraid there won't be any major problems in ten years. Why worry about the future?
"kindness."
Gu Ningya did not continue to talk about this sensitive topic, but continued to speak.
"A letter from the Ministry of Households, in addition to the basic expenses of Daxia, the surplus silver taels can be used to purchase 5000 million shi of grain."
"Considering that the large-scale purchase of grain will cause the price of grain to increase, so I choose to buy 1000 million shi of grain a month. Is this acceptable?"
Gu Ningya asked.
"Okay, let the Ministry of Households cooperate with the Criminal Department of the Ministry of War to inform the people of Daxia that they don't need to sell grain, but they are absolutely not allowed to increase the price at will. As long as the price of grain increases and fluctuates, as long as everything is reasonable, if anyone dares to take this opportunity Those who are in financial distress will be killed without mercy."
Gu Jinnian nodded and agreed to the request of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Buying 5000 million shi of grain in one go will definitely cause huge market fluctuations. 1000 million shi a month is relatively stable.
Then the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Punishment, the three major departments jointly suppressed the increase in food prices, which can be regarded as stabilizing the people's hearts.
"it is good."
Gu Ningya nodded and recorded it, and they will be sent back to the capital at that time.
However, at this moment, a voice sounded from the side of the jade chariot.
"Master Hou."
"Master Commander."
"The cavalry from the rear is here to report, the great-grandson is here, and he wants to find Lord Hou."
"Are you meeting?"
As the servant's voice sounded, Gu Ningya and Gu Jinnian couldn't help showing curiosity in the jade chariot.
Especially Gu Ningya muttered to himself.
"Why is this little bastard here?"
But when the words came out, Gu Ningya immediately shut up.
Li Ji is the grandson, calling him a little bastard, isn't it the same as calling the prince a big bastard, the emperor an old bastard?
Fortunately, these are his own people, otherwise, if this word gets out, they will definitely be severely beaten.
"Let him come."
Gu Jinnian spoke up, although he didn't know why Li Ji could come, but Gu Jinnian didn't stop him.
In this way, half a quarter of an hour later, the jade chariot stopped, and soon Li Ji walked in with a smile on his face.
"Uncle Jinnian."
"Uncle Ning Ya."
Walking into the jade chariot, Li Ji looked a bit dusty, he exhaled, then sat casually on the soft pillow, looking at the two with a smile.
Not long after he sat firmly, the jade chariot set off again without any pause.
"Li Ji, why are you here?"
"It's not that the prince is gone, you sneaked out by yourself, right?"
Looking at Li Ji, Gu Ningya became a little curious, and also nervous whether Li Ji ran out privately, if he really ran out secretly, it would be troublesome.
"Uncle, why do you look down on people so much?"
"Am I, Li Ji, that kind of person? After all, I'm also a great-grandson."
Li Ji was a little depressed. After all, he was already fifteen now, right?It will be 16 years old in a few months. Normally speaking, if you are 16 years old, you can reach the crown and you are an adult.
How do you say that you are like a child?
"So what about Taisun? Why don't you go to Goulan anyway?"
Gu Ningya seemed very casual. If he was the crown prince, he might not be like this. The grandson would just order it casually. Wait for him to be the emperor, maybe three to fifty years later.
"Uncle, can we not mention this matter?"
"It's because I heard that my father and uncle went to fight the disaster. As a great-grandson, I would be worthless if I didn't go there. So I told my grandpa, and grandpa allowed me to come."
Li Ji spoke up and explained the reason.
Hearing this, Gu Ningya nodded, and also pondered for a while, thinking about the meaning of the emperor.
Gu Jinnian probably understood.
I want Li Ji to learn something by my side, and to see the sufferings of the people by the way.
This is a good thing.
I am not afraid that the emperor will be ruthless, but I am afraid that the emperor will be soft-hearted, pampering his offspring, and fearing that they will suffer.
A person like Li Ji should be thrown out and beaten by the society, otherwise he will not be able to become a talent.
"Row."
"Since it is His Majesty's intention, you will follow me during this time. Remember not to run around if there is nothing to do. The disaster is extremely dangerous. Even if you are a grandson, don't mess around. I won't be sure if something happens. I can protect you."
Since it was the emperor's intention, Gu Jinnian didn't repeat anything, but the things that should be explained still had to be explained clearly.
"Don't worry, Uncle Jinnian, I'm very honest."
Li Ke grinned.
For him, this trip was firstly to see the world, and secondly to leave the imperial palace. Children are more playful. As for disaster relief, he may not see anything in this kind of dignitaries.
After all, they don't think that no matter how hard the people are, how hard it can be.
"Uncle Six, let's continue."
Gu Jinnian ignored Li Ji, but continued to discuss disaster relief with Gu Ningya.
"The fire in Donglin County is half dependent on the soldiers of the Great Xia, and half on the Immortal Sect. Let Yang Kai, the Ministry of Rites, personally come forward to ask the Immortal Sect to ask for a rain talisman. You can borrow as much as you can, and then ask the Immortal Sect to help solve this problem with rain. matter."
"If Xianmen can make a move, the difficulty of Donglin County is not too difficult. It only needs to transport 500 million shi of grain to Donglin County."
Gu Jinnian said, this is his solution for Donglin County.
Find Xianmen to come forward and solve the fire.
The forest fires, the soldiers can only cut down trees in the outer circle to create fire barriers, but the fire is so fierce that if it is too late to cut out the fire barriers in the outer circle, it is easy to cause big problems.
Xianmen shot to suppress the fire, and the high-intensity cooperation of Daxia soldiers can effectively suppress it.
"it is good."
Gu Ningya continued to record.
The matter of Donglin County can be regarded as a solution.
"For Nanyue County, let the king of Wei evacuate the people as soon as possible, and at the same time let the Ministry of Industry build the treasure ship as quickly as possible and transport it to Nanyue County. The snow disaster is not terrible, but the terrible thing is to melt the snow."
"And let the King of Wei investigate clearly. The sudden heavy snowfall in Nanyue County must be abnormal. There may be monsters making trouble. Be careful and protect the people."
"All soldiers, prepare to fight the flood."
"Also transport 500 million shi of grain to Nanyue County."
In fact, regardless of the political issues in Jiangzhong County, Nanyue County is the place where the disaster is the most terrifying in Gu Jinnian's opinion.
The heavy snow and ice seems to only affect the survival of the people, but what is really terrible is the melting of snow.
Once the ice melts and the snow accumulates into rivers, it is easy to cause floods.
If there is a flood, it will be a huge trouble. Nanyue County has the backbone of the Daxia Pengjiang River. If there is a flood in Nanyue County, all the way down, the trouble will be not weaker than that of Jiangzhong County.
Therefore, it is necessary to fight floods in advance and take preventive measures. Floods can be allowed to happen, but they must not affect too many people.
"clear."
Gu Ningya recorded all of these things, and Gu Jinnian has dealt with the affairs of the three major counties to a certain extent.
At that moment, Gu Jinnian also heaved a sigh of relief.
"Go here first, and wait for the rest of the news."
After he finished speaking, he leaned on the soft pillow and squinted his eyes a little, resting for a quarter of an hour before speaking.
"Lee Kee."
But when he closed his eyes, Gu Jinnian spoke slowly.
"exist."
"Uncle Jinnian."
Li Ji immediately spoke up and responded.
"Is there anything going on in Kyoto?"
"Is there any news about me?"
When Gu Jinnian opened his mouth, he squinted his eyes and spoke calmly.
"what"
Hearing this, Li Ji was a little speechless and didn't know how to answer.
"Say."
Gu Jinnian spoke lightly, but with an air that could not be refused.
"Eh, yes, there is."
"But I've only heard about it. I don't know the specific situation."
"It seems to say that some vassal kings sent a memorial to Beijing to impeach you for being cruel and unkind, and slaughtered Zhongliang, and the disaster in Jiangzhong County, they thought that Uncle Jinnian was just a child's play, and wanted to monopolize the power for his own selfish desires, rushing to make meritorious deeds go."
"And Yushitai was also impeached."
"Big Xia Zhuxue's lineage also joined the concert and said some unpleasant things."
Li Ji made a sound while observing Gu Jinnian's expression. If Gu Jinnian was unhappy, he would not say anything.
However, he found that Gu Jinnian looked very calm, without any disturbances. Although his eyes were closed, there was no change in his face.
"This group of dogs, what face do you have to accuse my eldest nephew?"
"Damn it, everyone knows how to sing the opposite tune, and if they make suggestions, everyone is afraid of causing trouble."
"Big Xia is in such a disaster, Jinnian has stepped forward, and this responsibility alone is a hundred times stronger than these bastards."
"Grandson, when you ascend the throne in the future, you must remember that these scholars are all old, treacherous and cunning, with very evil thoughts. With your wisdom, I am afraid it will be difficult to fight against them. You might as well be a tyrant."
"If you don't accept it, kill it."
"Anyway, after the crown prince ascends the throne, he will definitely govern the country well. You can sit back and enjoy his achievements, kill some civil servants, and enjoy the happiness with peace of mind."
When Gu Ningya opened his mouth, he didn't regard Li Ji as an outsider at all, what he said was very direct.
"Uncle Six."
"Don't be silly."
At this time, Gu Jinnian spoke up and reminded himself of his sixth uncle.
Whether Li Ji can become emperor in the future is one thing, but these words cannot be taught.
If he really becomes a tyrant, whose fault is it?
"Uncle, I think Uncle is right."
"Some scholars are very dark-hearted. I know what happened a few days ago. You stand up against all opinions and set a national policy for my Great Xia, boost the morale of the army, and stabilize public opinion. What else will such people do besides throw cold water? "
"On paper, one is better than the other, but when something happens, I'm afraid of taking the blame."
"If I really want to be the emperor in the future, I will definitely kill a bunch of trash."
When Li Ji opened his mouth, his words were somewhat flattering. It seems that this kid is really sensible and knows that it is good to have a good relationship with Gu Jinnian.
Of course, there are also some ideas that Li basically can think of. After all, he is still young and doesn't understand many things, so he likes to use the simplest method to solve conflicts.
"nonsense."
Gu Jinnian opened his eyes and reprimanded lightly.
"Kier, remember it well."
"Emperor, you must know the art of balance, civil and military balance. Although these civil servants have complicated thoughts, they at least care about the overall situation. If these gangs of warriors are allowed to govern the country, they will fight when they encounter problems. What dynasty can stand such a waste?"
"Using the strengths of others to check and balance the weaknesses of others, Yin and Yang work together is the way of the emperor, understand?"
Gu Jinnian spoke up and taught the other party earnestly.
"Oh."
After Li Ji heard this, he just replied "oh", while Gu Ningya said helplessly.
"Jinnian, what you said is too mysterious. I'm also puzzled. Our Gu family is still a bunch of reckless people. Isn't your father a scholar at best?"
"How did you give birth to a unicorn? To be honest, what you said just now is exactly the same as the civil servants in the court, whether it is the tone or the tone."
"Can't we just order it? Fuck it."
Gu Ningya is a vulgar martial artist, he never leaves his mother with three words, making people silent.
There is no self-cultivation at all.
"Yeah, that's right, fuck it."
Li Ji liked Gu Ningya's way very much, and yelled, happily.
"Ji'er, after you become the emperor, can you make me the Duke of the country? I'll help you suppress those civil servants. If you're not happy with anyone, just tell me, and I'll help you solve it directly."
"If this guy is powerful, I will deal with it secretly, and disappear without a sound. If this guy is not powerful, let's deal with it openly, and give him some criminal evidence. I don't believe that he is a saint. What do you think?"
Gu Ningya looked at Li Ji with a smile on his face.
"Okay, uncle, when I ascend the throne, I will give you a title first, and after two years, I will give you a duke."
"If I'm upset with someone, I'll tell you straight up, you just copy his home."
"Don't list any evidence of crimes, it's fine to just plant the blame. I'll find any treasure from the palace for you, and you let the person who hangs the lantern to hide it in his house. I will issue an order that day for a thorough investigation. "
"Throw things away during the day, people catch them at noon, and chop them up at night, what do you say?"
Li Ji also became interested, chatting nonsense with Gu Ningya.
"This is the job, Taisun is really wise, we two join forces, we can definitely resolve all right and wrong."
The two of you said one sentence to me, and they talked with great joy.
Gu Jinnian didn't bother to say anything anymore, these two guys had some problems with their heads, Li Ji was fine, he was young and ignorant, so it didn't matter if he said hilariously.
My sixth uncle is hopeless.
But Gu Jinnian finally knew why his sixth uncle was often whipped, he asked for it, and it was not wronged at all.
in this way.
Two hours passed in a blink of an eye.
Inside the jade chariot, Gu Jinnian had rested for a while, but the two guys were still chatting.
Moreover, the chatting process went from conferring a prince to conferring a duke, then to the battle of destiny, to unifying the Eastern Wasteland, and finally to conquering the Central Continent Dynasty.
While chatting, the two even started arguing.
"No way, Grandson, I will help you conquer the Zhongzhou Dynasty. You make me a king with a different surname and give me the Huns? Why do I want that thing? At least give me the Fuluo Dynasty? You are so stingy." .”
"The Hun Kingdom is not bad, is it? All right, all right, if the Fuluo Dynasty gives you, what title will you give? Fuluo King is a bit unpleasant."
"It's okay. I'll ask Jinnian to think of a title for me. Anyway, the Fuluo Dynasty has to give it to me. I don't want the Dajin Dynasty. The Fuluo Dynasty must give it to me."
"Okay, but you have to pay tribute every year, less than [-]%, and less than [-]%."
"Seventy percent, let me be more generous, I don't want that much, I'll give you seventy percent, and I'll keep thirty percent for myself to squander."
"Okay, from then on you will be the king of the different surname of the Fuluo Dynasty, and Uncle Jinnian will be the king of the different surname of the Dajin Dynasty."
Li Ji smiled crookedly as he spoke.
It can be described as a live version of the debate.
Appeal!
Howling!
However, just when the two were about to discuss how to effectively control the territory of Central Continent and assimilate the people of Central Continent.
The jade chariot stopped suddenly.
All of a sudden, there was the sound of drawing a knife, accompanied by a few loud shouts.
"Da Xia ordered Hou Yunian to be here, and you and others in front?"
There was a loud shout.
Gu Ningya and Li Ji shut up instantly.
Gu Jinnian frowned, and walked out of the jade chariot.
Lifting the curtain and stepping out of the jade chariot, a sense of desolation and vicissitudes suddenly struck, surrounded by loess and high slopes, brown is the main theme here, the land is dry and cracked, the yellow sand is rolling, and there is no breeze in the scorching sun, making people impetuous .
Not far away, densely packed, there are close to [-] people, one by one with their families, carrying luggage, and walking with bitter faces.
"My lord."
"We are all from Jiangzhong County's Xianjin Mansion. We intend to go to Guchuan County to join our relatives. We have disturbed the official. Please forgive me."
Some people bowed their waists and saluted the iron cavalry officers and soldiers.
These people had dark skin, squinted eyes, a thin layer of oil on their faces, and beads of sweat around their necks, and they were on their way under the scorching sun.
"Master Hou."
"There are a large number of refugees ahead, and they probably want to escape the famine."
The attendant came, stood under the jade chariot, and told Gu Jinnian what happened.
"understood."
Gu Jinnian nodded, and then got off the jade chariot. He walked quickly and came directly to the refugees.
Seeing Gu Jinnian's appearance, all the refugees couldn't help showing surprise in their eyes.
After all, Gu Jinnian was wearing a marquis robe, coupled with his extraordinary appearance and imposing appearance, for these rural people, he was naturally astonished.
"Uncle, why are so many people going to relatives?"
"Drought in Jiangzhong County, hasn't the imperial court already allocated funds to transport grain?"
"If you count the days, there should be food delivered to Jiangzhong County. If there are no accidents, food should be distributed."
"It's 950 miles from Xianjin Mansion to Guchuan County. The road is deserted and there are wolves, tigers and leopards. Are you not worried about accidents?"
Gu Jinnian cupped his hands towards the other party, without any pretensions, and spoke very gently, asking the other party.
Five days ago, Gu Jinnian asked the household department to urgently transport food over there, and directly used dragon boats.
Although it is a drop in the bucket, at least the food can be delivered, giving the people peace of mind.
Jiangzhong County is just a severe drought, not a flood or fire. The people have some surplus food in their homes. Once the food from the court arrives, everyone will share a little bit, even if it is half a day's ration.
You wouldn't take such a big risk and walk more than 900 miles to escape, right?
"Go back to your lord."
"Grass people."
The latter was a little afraid to speak, after all, he didn't know Gu Jinnian's background, so many things were hard to say.
"Uncle, this is Gu Jinnian, the Marquis of Daxia. His Majesty sent you to Jiangzhong County for disaster relief."
"If you have any unspeakable secrets, you can tell Lord Hou directly."
"Master Hou will definitely uphold justice for everyone."
The attendant spoke to appease the other party's heart.
When everyone heard the name Gu Jinnian, they were even more surprised.
They don't know each other by destiny.
But they had really heard of the name Gu Jinnian.
"You are Gu Jinnian? Gu Shengren?"
"Is it Gu Shengren?"
"What? Gu Jinnian, Gu Shengren is here?"
All of a sudden, various voices rang out, and the common people called Gu Jinnian a saint, which was a very high honor.
But Gu Jinnian didn't feel complacent because of these titles, instead his tone was more gentle.
"Uncle, fellow villagers and elders, the imperial court has allocated funds for disaster relief, and the food should have been delivered long ago."
"Everyone has something to hide, but it's okay to say, I will definitely uphold justice for everyone."
Gu Jinnian spoke out with a determined expression.
That's all for now.
The people couldn't sit still at all, and knelt down one by one, crying and mourning.
"Saint."
"You have to uphold justice for us ordinary people."
"Where did these officials in Jiangzhong County distribute the food?"
"Not only did they not distribute food, but they also robbed us poor people of food."
"Talk about centralized food and unified distribution."
"The severe drought just came, and every family had some food surplus, but now the food has been confiscated, and some people have starved to death."
"We are also forced to be helpless, saint, if it is not desperate, who would want to leave their hometown."
"My youngest son disappeared on the way to escape, and his life and death are uncertain. Please, please wait for the people for me and uphold justice."
When the old man said this, he burst into tears, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly.
When the rest of the people heard this, they also talked about their situation one after another, and there was a burst of crying.
this moment.
Gu Jinnian also fell silent.
He did not expect that at this juncture, the imperial court would do this.
There are still officials who dare to do this.
Is this really too long?
(End of this chapter)
Daxia Kyoto.
Feiyun Ancient Road.
An elite troop is rushing to Jiangzhong County at the fastest speed.
In the lead are hundreds of iron cavalry, opening the way in front, four hundred iron cavalry are escorting the left and right, and five hundred iron cavalry are protecting the rear.
In the center of the elite cavalry is a jade chariot galloping forward.
Inside the jade chariot.
Gu Jinnian is reviewing and approving an urgent military report. These are military aircraft information from Longxi County, Donglin County, and Nanyue County.
As for Gu Ningya, he was sitting on the sidelines, carefully examining and approving some relevant information. He would examine and approve matters within the court, and then inform Gu Jinnian.
Gu Jinnian was in charge of the emergencies in the three counties.
About half an hour later, Gu Jinnian completed the examination and approval of the military aircraft information, gave relevant opinions, put it in an envelope and handed it to Gu Ningya.
"Sixth Uncle, these military aircraft information, immediately sent for urgent escort."
Gu Jinnian let out a sound and let out a long breath.
For the past five days, he has been engraving the formation, and he has consumed too much energy and energy. Now he is even more sleepless, approving the memorial of the article, and he has not slept until now.
Martial king powerhouses naturally don't need to sleep, because the true energy in the body can keep people in a state of high spirits all the time, but if the true energy is exhausted, the body will naturally not be able to hold it.
This can also be considered as Gu Jinnian's physical strength, if it were any other strong Martial King, if he had engraved a thousand formations, he would be exhausted.
Gu Jinnian engraved [-] seats, which is the limit of the limit.
You can only hold on for a while at most, and you must take a good rest for a day, otherwise your body will not be able to bear it.
"it is good."
Gu Ningya took the document, walked out of the jade chariot, and after a while, entered the jade chariot again.
"Jinnian, we have sent someone to escort him urgently."
"What's the situation in Daxia now?"
Gu Ningya sat down in the jade chariot, and at the same time was a little curious, looking at Gu Jinnian and asking.
"There were too many casualties in the earthquake in Longxi County, and the rescue mission was very difficult. The crown prince led 30 troops, adding another 20 troops."
Gu Jinnian opened his mouth to explain the situation in Longxi County.
An earthquake is an earthquake.
The good thing is that the ancient houses are not too high, which is lucky for most people in the villages and counties. Unfortunately, some restaurants and inns in Fucheng suffered heavy losses, and the money is not bad.
Hitting the people is the key, the prince has already started to let the soldiers start rescue, but the disaster caused by the earthquake, the most difficult thing is rescue.
You don't know if there is anyone down here, but you can't bet, even if there is one person, you have to rescue them, and you can't let go of a chance.
The military aircraft information sent by the prince was to ask Gu Jinnian whether to rescue him in a targeted manner or in an all-round way.
As for this specificity, it is actually through some warriors to listen for the sound of breathing or the sound of the heart beating. This method has a certain effect, but it cannot be guaranteed to be 100% correct.
Gu Jinnian's advice was to try his best to rescue, and to rescue in a targeted manner. The place is too big, and when the martial artist hears the sound of a heart beating, he may be cold by the time he is rescued.
It's better to go directly to the rescue in a blanket manner, of course, first solve the confirmed situation, and then deal with the uncertain situation.
All in all, the common people must see the means of the Great Xia Dynasty.
"Having 50 soldiers should be enough manpower."
Gu Ningya asked curiously.
"not enough."
"And the real trouble is not manpower, but food supply, water supply, and various material assistance."
Gu Jinnian shook his head, 50 troops might sound like an exaggeration, but if it's for disaster relief, it's really not that many.
However, the prince has already started to mobilize the people to fight the disaster together, which can be regarded as a solution to the urgent need.
However, the issue of food supplies is more important.
Where do the soldiers live?
Where did the rescued people live?
Where did the spared people live?
Food, drink, and medical resources, as well as refugee planning, including a series of things, all need people to do it, and they also need assistance from various aspects.
These are the scariest places.
Hearing this, Gu Ningya was a little silent. He usually had a playful smile on his face, but at this moment, he really didn't know what to say.
"In the year of Jin, the Ministry of Households came to report that the grain storage in Daxia has reached 800 and [-] shi."
"With so much food, it should be able to stabilize the rations of the three counties, right?"
When it comes to apprehension and interrogation, Gu Ningya is one of the top three in Daxia, but for this kind of economy, such as settling accounts, Gu Ningya has a big head and doesn't know right or wrong at all.
"Not necessarily enough."
Gu Jinnian shook his head. Hearing this number, he was only slightly relieved, at least he could withstand it in the early stage.
"Is this much enough?"
"Ten million shi grains, if these grains are used to fight, among other things, do you know how long it will last for a million troops?"
"Save some food, enough to fight for decades."
Gu Ningya really clicked his tongue.
The food storage of the whole country in Daxia is actually not enough?These stored grains will be used to fight wars. It is not an exaggeration at all to feed 100 million people for 50 to [-] years.
After all, a soldier's daily rations, if you save a catty of rice, 120 million shi is 30 million catties of grain, more than enough for [-] years.
Now it's not enough?How can this prevent Gu Ningya from telling the truth?
"Longxi County has a population of 400 million, and there are at least 500 million people affected by the disaster. Counting a certain amount of food surplus, plus the purchase of silver taels, there are at least [-] million people who need to be supported by the court."
"In addition to the 50 army, and the prince mobilizing the people to contribute, if you don't ask for money and two salaries, at least two meals must be taken care of, right?"
"In terms of conversion, there are tens of millions of mouths waiting to eat, and there is definitely only a lot more. Sixth uncle, think about it. With such turmoil, most of the people are homeless and have no income. Naturally, they are willing to help the court work and have a meal. Food and clothing."
"Half a catty of rations per day for one person, and 500 million catties of rations per day. If Longxi County wants to completely complete the rescue, it will take three months, even if the whole team works together?"
"This is 5000 million catties of rations and 370 million shi of grain."
"This is calculated on the basis of the minimum situation. Disaster relief is absolutely impossible to be strangled. There must be various variables. Three months is the best idea, and half a year is the normal situation. That is to say, at least 1000 million shi of grain is needed to be transported to the Only in Longxi County can the situation be stabilized."
"How much is the transportation cost for tens of millions of grains?"
"It's okay if it's close, but if it's far away, it's a good thing to have [-] shi of grain transported to Longxi County and [-] shi left."
"What is the labor cost required for this?"
"The comprehensive cost of transporting tens of millions of shi grains should be at least 3000 million to 5000 million shi grains."
Gu Jinnian made the simplest conversion method.
Transportation costs, labor costs, and time costs, just these three points, any one of them is actually more than the 1000 million shi of grain that was directly provided for disaster relief.
If grain can be transported directly to Longxi County without any cost, then the difficulties in Longxi County can be solved directly.
As long as there is enough food, Daxia will send soldiers to maintain order, boost morale, and mobilize the people. Everyone will work together, and then all over the country will come to help and solve this problem within half a year.
Will the court still have a headache?
It is because the cost of all parties is too high, and this is all the food stored in Daxia. If the food is transported to Longxi County regardless of the cost, what should the other disaster areas do?
"Even if 5000 million shi of grain can solve the problem, wouldn't it be great?"
Although Gu Ningya was shocked by these figures, he couldn't help but speak out.
Just because 800 and [-] shi of grain is a bigger number.
But inside the jade chariot, Gu Jinnian sighed, looked at his sixth uncle and said.
"uncle."
"Do you really not understand, or are you pretending to be stupid?"
Gu Jinnian was a little helpless.
Hearing this, Gu Ningya frowned first, but soon he realized something, and then he couldn't help but suppress his voice.
"You mean to say."
"Big Xia doesn't have so much grain in store?"
Gu Ningya probably understood what Gu Jinnian meant.
"Ten thousand and thirty-eight million shi of grain, this is the account of the Ministry of Accounts, not the actual situation. Believe it or not, if you really want the Ministry of Accounts to transport it, you will definitely find that there is no grain of rice in the official warehouses in some places."
Gu Jinnian said, the so-called sky is high and the emperor is far away, it is better to say that it is closer to the capital, if it is thousands of miles away, what is the grain stored in the official warehouse?
Well, no one would think there would be a disaster, would they?
It's like the Jiangnan area, which is extremely rich. Do you think this place will encounter trouble?
Drought?Just buy a rain charm and get it.
Flood?Sorry, the good fields are not near the river.
Who's okay to think about this?
And the food in the official warehouse is very valuable, not to mention too much, can I sell a tenth of it?
This is several million taels of silver, and it is all eaten by middle- and lower-level officials, because higher-level officials don't know how to think about granaries.
Looking back, something really happened, wouldn't it be enough to buy it with money and fill it in?
Then in three to five years, I found out, hey, it’s all right.
What should I do if I run out of money again?
Continue to sell?
Hungry to death timid, strenuously daring.
Anyway, selling a tenth is a capital crime, and selling everything is a capital crime. At least I have been chic, happy, rich, and happy in life.
This is a comfort in my heart. When it is really found out, it will be useful to cry to father and mother again?The answer is useless.
Is it useful for the court to kill him?Also useless.
Who is unlucky?
Common people chant.
That's the truth.
Therefore, in Gu Jinnian's eyes, half of the 800 and [-] shi of grain was thankful to God.
"If this kind of thing really happens, I'm afraid many people's heads will fall off."
Gu Ningya swallowed. As the commander of the Lantern Division, he saw too many corrupt officials. Gu Jinnian's worries were not fantasy at all. The possibility was very high, no, very high.
"Drop your head?"
"Sixth Uncle, believe it or not, it's okay to say that it's better to be closer to the capital, but officials farther away directly fill the food with sand, and then lie to the higher authorities. If there is trouble in the middle, the food is lost, or the bandit snatches it away. food."
Gu Jinnian sneered.
There are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. This sentence is not empty talk.
"Damn, such a dog."
"I'm going to write a memorial now, and ask His Majesty to chop off all the heads of these people."
"No, don't cut it off, arrest the lamp master, I will let them live or die."
Gu Ningya cursed aloud, his teeth itching with anger.
"It's useless."
"Killing them won't solve the problem."
"Extraordinary times, extraordinary means."
"Uncle, you have to take action on this matter."
Gu Jinnian shook his head. He didn't bother to care about whether these corrupt officials were dead or not. He had to collect food right now. For other things, after the disaster relief was over, he would settle accounts slowly.
"Speak, Uncle, listen."
Gu Ningya was curious about what method Gu Jinnian would use to solve this hidden danger.
"Immediately ask the Ministry of Households to notify all places to transport grain and grass."
"Then arrest a group of people and kill them as an example."
"You ask your people to go to various granaries to check, but tell them the news and say it directly. After you go, such officials must be afraid, so let your people accept bribes. We will take as much as they give."
"All the money received will be handed over, half will be reserved for the Lantern Division as funds, and the other half will be given to the imperial court to replenish the national treasury."
"Let your subordinates inform them, deliberately delaying time, and let them rush to buy food to fill up, and buy as much as they can. No matter how greedy these officials are, they know that life is more important."
"This way at least the food can be delivered."
Gu Jinnian said, he doesn't care about these right and wrong, he only cares about one thing, transporting the grain, everything is easy to talk about, liquidation later, family property confiscated, dismissed from office, relegated to the frontier, as long as he doesn't do too bad things, it's better to save the lives of the whole family OK.
At least make up for it.
"That's a good idea."
"This trick is really wonderful. You said that we all have only one head, so why did you come up with such a method?"
"it is good."
"Leave this matter to Sixth Uncle, Sixth Uncle will handle it."
There was light in Gu Ningya's eyes, Gu Jinnian's plan was really good.
Pretending to tip off the news is actually another way to get these officials to fight for it.
After all, when the people from the imperial court came, they were at a dead end. The law was there, and the imperial court could not decree what to say.
Once this happens, it will cause a bad trend. At that time, everyone will go to sell food. Anyway, if there is a crisis, they will buy it back if it is a big deal, and they will not die.
The lower the cost of crime, the higher the crime rate.
Moreover, this kind of thing is only suitable for extremely serious disasters. If it is an ordinary disaster, for example, only one place in Longxi County is affected, it will not give any chance at all.
Kill it.
Only this kind of catastrophic disaster is really a special situation, so I played it secretly.
To put it bluntly, if Gu Jinnian decides who advances and retreats, whether he wants to live or die, it depends on Gu Jinnian's words.
This is the political method, to solve the matter, leaving spare energy.
"The difficulty in Longxi County is difficult in logistics. If we can really transport 1000 million shi of grain, the situation can be stabilized, and all costs can be controlled within 5000 million shi of grain."
Gu Jinnian said that he had the ears of real dragon rice, and he was not afraid even if the grain in Daxia's official warehouse was exhausted.
Give yourself two years to ensure that the official granary is full of grain, and even expand the granary.
"If the Xuandeng Secretary has informed in advance, the problem will not be difficult, and the difficulty in Longxi County can be regarded as settled."
Gu Ningya uttered his thoughts.
"Well, after all, Longxi County still has the problem of natural disasters. If there is a strong will, all directions will come to help, and the food and grass will be stable. Naturally, the crown prince can take advantage of this opportunity to stabilize the crown prince."
When Gu Jinnian spoke up, he thought so too.
But when it comes to the position of crown prince, Gu Ningya's expression can't help but change slightly.
"Jinnian, have you already chosen the crown prince?"
He looked at Gu Jinnian.
It doesn't matter if others mention the word Chujun, but when the Gu family mentions it, there are more or less other elements in it.
After all, the Gu family is too big, especially Gu Jinnian. In His Majesty's eyes, the entire Gu family is definitely not as good as Gu Jinnian. Naturally, the Gu family can now choose the emperor.
"Let it be."
"It's a good thing that the prince is benevolent in governing the country. The Great Xia Dynasty has gone through the founding battle and encountered all kinds of wars. It really needs a benevolent king to govern the country so that the country can cultivate itself."
"But the battle for destiny has emerged, and it needs to be fought. The King of Qin is also good, but the distinction between the elder and the younger is an ancient principle. My nephew has no intention of getting involved in the battle for the crown prince. Let them handle it by themselves when the time comes."
"If Your Majesty chooses the Prince, my nephew will assist the Prince with peace of mind. If Your Majesty chooses the King of Qin, my nephew will also assist the King of Qin with peace of mind, that's all."
Gu Jinnian spoke up and expressed his thoughts on the prince.
Whether it is the prince or the king of Qin, each has its own advantages, but the issue of seniority is ultimately recognized by the world.
In the final analysis, both of them still have advantages, but the prince's advantage is bigger.
Of course, if the prince really did something wrong or bad, Gu Jinnian would not support the prince.
Inside the jade chariot.
Gu Jinnian finally understood.
As long as the crown prince does not make mistakes, then there is no big problem for the crown prince to ascend the throne.
"But what if His Majesty insists on asking you?"
"Jinnian, King Qin has a very good relationship with our Gu family. He has been with the old man since he was a child. The old man also said that King Qin is his half-grandson."
"What should you do at this time?"
Gu Ningya continued to ask aloud.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the jade chariot became a little dignified.
It is true that King Qin has a very good relationship with the Gu family. It can be seen from his daily behavior that King Qin really regards Gu Jinnian as his brother. This friendship is here, and it is impossible to say that it has no influence.
After all, Gu Ningya is actually more inclined to King Qin.
"Let's talk later."
"Let's continue talking about the disaster."
Gu Jinnian didn't want to talk about this topic. At least Emperor Yongsheng is still alive and healthy. I'm afraid there won't be any major problems in ten years. Why worry about the future?
"kindness."
Gu Ningya did not continue to talk about this sensitive topic, but continued to speak.
"A letter from the Ministry of Households, in addition to the basic expenses of Daxia, the surplus silver taels can be used to purchase 5000 million shi of grain."
"Considering that the large-scale purchase of grain will cause the price of grain to increase, so I choose to buy 1000 million shi of grain a month. Is this acceptable?"
Gu Ningya asked.
"Okay, let the Ministry of Households cooperate with the Criminal Department of the Ministry of War to inform the people of Daxia that they don't need to sell grain, but they are absolutely not allowed to increase the price at will. As long as the price of grain increases and fluctuates, as long as everything is reasonable, if anyone dares to take this opportunity Those who are in financial distress will be killed without mercy."
Gu Jinnian nodded and agreed to the request of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Buying 5000 million shi of grain in one go will definitely cause huge market fluctuations. 1000 million shi a month is relatively stable.
Then the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Punishment, the three major departments jointly suppressed the increase in food prices, which can be regarded as stabilizing the people's hearts.
"it is good."
Gu Ningya nodded and recorded it, and they will be sent back to the capital at that time.
However, at this moment, a voice sounded from the side of the jade chariot.
"Master Hou."
"Master Commander."
"The cavalry from the rear is here to report, the great-grandson is here, and he wants to find Lord Hou."
"Are you meeting?"
As the servant's voice sounded, Gu Ningya and Gu Jinnian couldn't help showing curiosity in the jade chariot.
Especially Gu Ningya muttered to himself.
"Why is this little bastard here?"
But when the words came out, Gu Ningya immediately shut up.
Li Ji is the grandson, calling him a little bastard, isn't it the same as calling the prince a big bastard, the emperor an old bastard?
Fortunately, these are his own people, otherwise, if this word gets out, they will definitely be severely beaten.
"Let him come."
Gu Jinnian spoke up, although he didn't know why Li Ji could come, but Gu Jinnian didn't stop him.
In this way, half a quarter of an hour later, the jade chariot stopped, and soon Li Ji walked in with a smile on his face.
"Uncle Jinnian."
"Uncle Ning Ya."
Walking into the jade chariot, Li Ji looked a bit dusty, he exhaled, then sat casually on the soft pillow, looking at the two with a smile.
Not long after he sat firmly, the jade chariot set off again without any pause.
"Li Ji, why are you here?"
"It's not that the prince is gone, you sneaked out by yourself, right?"
Looking at Li Ji, Gu Ningya became a little curious, and also nervous whether Li Ji ran out privately, if he really ran out secretly, it would be troublesome.
"Uncle, why do you look down on people so much?"
"Am I, Li Ji, that kind of person? After all, I'm also a great-grandson."
Li Ji was a little depressed. After all, he was already fifteen now, right?It will be 16 years old in a few months. Normally speaking, if you are 16 years old, you can reach the crown and you are an adult.
How do you say that you are like a child?
"So what about Taisun? Why don't you go to Goulan anyway?"
Gu Ningya seemed very casual. If he was the crown prince, he might not be like this. The grandson would just order it casually. Wait for him to be the emperor, maybe three to fifty years later.
"Uncle, can we not mention this matter?"
"It's because I heard that my father and uncle went to fight the disaster. As a great-grandson, I would be worthless if I didn't go there. So I told my grandpa, and grandpa allowed me to come."
Li Ji spoke up and explained the reason.
Hearing this, Gu Ningya nodded, and also pondered for a while, thinking about the meaning of the emperor.
Gu Jinnian probably understood.
I want Li Ji to learn something by my side, and to see the sufferings of the people by the way.
This is a good thing.
I am not afraid that the emperor will be ruthless, but I am afraid that the emperor will be soft-hearted, pampering his offspring, and fearing that they will suffer.
A person like Li Ji should be thrown out and beaten by the society, otherwise he will not be able to become a talent.
"Row."
"Since it is His Majesty's intention, you will follow me during this time. Remember not to run around if there is nothing to do. The disaster is extremely dangerous. Even if you are a grandson, don't mess around. I won't be sure if something happens. I can protect you."
Since it was the emperor's intention, Gu Jinnian didn't repeat anything, but the things that should be explained still had to be explained clearly.
"Don't worry, Uncle Jinnian, I'm very honest."
Li Ke grinned.
For him, this trip was firstly to see the world, and secondly to leave the imperial palace. Children are more playful. As for disaster relief, he may not see anything in this kind of dignitaries.
After all, they don't think that no matter how hard the people are, how hard it can be.
"Uncle Six, let's continue."
Gu Jinnian ignored Li Ji, but continued to discuss disaster relief with Gu Ningya.
"The fire in Donglin County is half dependent on the soldiers of the Great Xia, and half on the Immortal Sect. Let Yang Kai, the Ministry of Rites, personally come forward to ask the Immortal Sect to ask for a rain talisman. You can borrow as much as you can, and then ask the Immortal Sect to help solve this problem with rain. matter."
"If Xianmen can make a move, the difficulty of Donglin County is not too difficult. It only needs to transport 500 million shi of grain to Donglin County."
Gu Jinnian said, this is his solution for Donglin County.
Find Xianmen to come forward and solve the fire.
The forest fires, the soldiers can only cut down trees in the outer circle to create fire barriers, but the fire is so fierce that if it is too late to cut out the fire barriers in the outer circle, it is easy to cause big problems.
Xianmen shot to suppress the fire, and the high-intensity cooperation of Daxia soldiers can effectively suppress it.
"it is good."
Gu Ningya continued to record.
The matter of Donglin County can be regarded as a solution.
"For Nanyue County, let the king of Wei evacuate the people as soon as possible, and at the same time let the Ministry of Industry build the treasure ship as quickly as possible and transport it to Nanyue County. The snow disaster is not terrible, but the terrible thing is to melt the snow."
"And let the King of Wei investigate clearly. The sudden heavy snowfall in Nanyue County must be abnormal. There may be monsters making trouble. Be careful and protect the people."
"All soldiers, prepare to fight the flood."
"Also transport 500 million shi of grain to Nanyue County."
In fact, regardless of the political issues in Jiangzhong County, Nanyue County is the place where the disaster is the most terrifying in Gu Jinnian's opinion.
The heavy snow and ice seems to only affect the survival of the people, but what is really terrible is the melting of snow.
Once the ice melts and the snow accumulates into rivers, it is easy to cause floods.
If there is a flood, it will be a huge trouble. Nanyue County has the backbone of the Daxia Pengjiang River. If there is a flood in Nanyue County, all the way down, the trouble will be not weaker than that of Jiangzhong County.
Therefore, it is necessary to fight floods in advance and take preventive measures. Floods can be allowed to happen, but they must not affect too many people.
"clear."
Gu Ningya recorded all of these things, and Gu Jinnian has dealt with the affairs of the three major counties to a certain extent.
At that moment, Gu Jinnian also heaved a sigh of relief.
"Go here first, and wait for the rest of the news."
After he finished speaking, he leaned on the soft pillow and squinted his eyes a little, resting for a quarter of an hour before speaking.
"Lee Kee."
But when he closed his eyes, Gu Jinnian spoke slowly.
"exist."
"Uncle Jinnian."
Li Ji immediately spoke up and responded.
"Is there anything going on in Kyoto?"
"Is there any news about me?"
When Gu Jinnian opened his mouth, he squinted his eyes and spoke calmly.
"what"
Hearing this, Li Ji was a little speechless and didn't know how to answer.
"Say."
Gu Jinnian spoke lightly, but with an air that could not be refused.
"Eh, yes, there is."
"But I've only heard about it. I don't know the specific situation."
"It seems to say that some vassal kings sent a memorial to Beijing to impeach you for being cruel and unkind, and slaughtered Zhongliang, and the disaster in Jiangzhong County, they thought that Uncle Jinnian was just a child's play, and wanted to monopolize the power for his own selfish desires, rushing to make meritorious deeds go."
"And Yushitai was also impeached."
"Big Xia Zhuxue's lineage also joined the concert and said some unpleasant things."
Li Ji made a sound while observing Gu Jinnian's expression. If Gu Jinnian was unhappy, he would not say anything.
However, he found that Gu Jinnian looked very calm, without any disturbances. Although his eyes were closed, there was no change in his face.
"This group of dogs, what face do you have to accuse my eldest nephew?"
"Damn it, everyone knows how to sing the opposite tune, and if they make suggestions, everyone is afraid of causing trouble."
"Big Xia is in such a disaster, Jinnian has stepped forward, and this responsibility alone is a hundred times stronger than these bastards."
"Grandson, when you ascend the throne in the future, you must remember that these scholars are all old, treacherous and cunning, with very evil thoughts. With your wisdom, I am afraid it will be difficult to fight against them. You might as well be a tyrant."
"If you don't accept it, kill it."
"Anyway, after the crown prince ascends the throne, he will definitely govern the country well. You can sit back and enjoy his achievements, kill some civil servants, and enjoy the happiness with peace of mind."
When Gu Ningya opened his mouth, he didn't regard Li Ji as an outsider at all, what he said was very direct.
"Uncle Six."
"Don't be silly."
At this time, Gu Jinnian spoke up and reminded himself of his sixth uncle.
Whether Li Ji can become emperor in the future is one thing, but these words cannot be taught.
If he really becomes a tyrant, whose fault is it?
"Uncle, I think Uncle is right."
"Some scholars are very dark-hearted. I know what happened a few days ago. You stand up against all opinions and set a national policy for my Great Xia, boost the morale of the army, and stabilize public opinion. What else will such people do besides throw cold water? "
"On paper, one is better than the other, but when something happens, I'm afraid of taking the blame."
"If I really want to be the emperor in the future, I will definitely kill a bunch of trash."
When Li Ji opened his mouth, his words were somewhat flattering. It seems that this kid is really sensible and knows that it is good to have a good relationship with Gu Jinnian.
Of course, there are also some ideas that Li basically can think of. After all, he is still young and doesn't understand many things, so he likes to use the simplest method to solve conflicts.
"nonsense."
Gu Jinnian opened his eyes and reprimanded lightly.
"Kier, remember it well."
"Emperor, you must know the art of balance, civil and military balance. Although these civil servants have complicated thoughts, they at least care about the overall situation. If these gangs of warriors are allowed to govern the country, they will fight when they encounter problems. What dynasty can stand such a waste?"
"Using the strengths of others to check and balance the weaknesses of others, Yin and Yang work together is the way of the emperor, understand?"
Gu Jinnian spoke up and taught the other party earnestly.
"Oh."
After Li Ji heard this, he just replied "oh", while Gu Ningya said helplessly.
"Jinnian, what you said is too mysterious. I'm also puzzled. Our Gu family is still a bunch of reckless people. Isn't your father a scholar at best?"
"How did you give birth to a unicorn? To be honest, what you said just now is exactly the same as the civil servants in the court, whether it is the tone or the tone."
"Can't we just order it? Fuck it."
Gu Ningya is a vulgar martial artist, he never leaves his mother with three words, making people silent.
There is no self-cultivation at all.
"Yeah, that's right, fuck it."
Li Ji liked Gu Ningya's way very much, and yelled, happily.
"Ji'er, after you become the emperor, can you make me the Duke of the country? I'll help you suppress those civil servants. If you're not happy with anyone, just tell me, and I'll help you solve it directly."
"If this guy is powerful, I will deal with it secretly, and disappear without a sound. If this guy is not powerful, let's deal with it openly, and give him some criminal evidence. I don't believe that he is a saint. What do you think?"
Gu Ningya looked at Li Ji with a smile on his face.
"Okay, uncle, when I ascend the throne, I will give you a title first, and after two years, I will give you a duke."
"If I'm upset with someone, I'll tell you straight up, you just copy his home."
"Don't list any evidence of crimes, it's fine to just plant the blame. I'll find any treasure from the palace for you, and you let the person who hangs the lantern to hide it in his house. I will issue an order that day for a thorough investigation. "
"Throw things away during the day, people catch them at noon, and chop them up at night, what do you say?"
Li Ji also became interested, chatting nonsense with Gu Ningya.
"This is the job, Taisun is really wise, we two join forces, we can definitely resolve all right and wrong."
The two of you said one sentence to me, and they talked with great joy.
Gu Jinnian didn't bother to say anything anymore, these two guys had some problems with their heads, Li Ji was fine, he was young and ignorant, so it didn't matter if he said hilariously.
My sixth uncle is hopeless.
But Gu Jinnian finally knew why his sixth uncle was often whipped, he asked for it, and it was not wronged at all.
in this way.
Two hours passed in a blink of an eye.
Inside the jade chariot, Gu Jinnian had rested for a while, but the two guys were still chatting.
Moreover, the chatting process went from conferring a prince to conferring a duke, then to the battle of destiny, to unifying the Eastern Wasteland, and finally to conquering the Central Continent Dynasty.
While chatting, the two even started arguing.
"No way, Grandson, I will help you conquer the Zhongzhou Dynasty. You make me a king with a different surname and give me the Huns? Why do I want that thing? At least give me the Fuluo Dynasty? You are so stingy." .”
"The Hun Kingdom is not bad, is it? All right, all right, if the Fuluo Dynasty gives you, what title will you give? Fuluo King is a bit unpleasant."
"It's okay. I'll ask Jinnian to think of a title for me. Anyway, the Fuluo Dynasty has to give it to me. I don't want the Dajin Dynasty. The Fuluo Dynasty must give it to me."
"Okay, but you have to pay tribute every year, less than [-]%, and less than [-]%."
"Seventy percent, let me be more generous, I don't want that much, I'll give you seventy percent, and I'll keep thirty percent for myself to squander."
"Okay, from then on you will be the king of the different surname of the Fuluo Dynasty, and Uncle Jinnian will be the king of the different surname of the Dajin Dynasty."
Li Ji smiled crookedly as he spoke.
It can be described as a live version of the debate.
Appeal!
Howling!
However, just when the two were about to discuss how to effectively control the territory of Central Continent and assimilate the people of Central Continent.
The jade chariot stopped suddenly.
All of a sudden, there was the sound of drawing a knife, accompanied by a few loud shouts.
"Da Xia ordered Hou Yunian to be here, and you and others in front?"
There was a loud shout.
Gu Ningya and Li Ji shut up instantly.
Gu Jinnian frowned, and walked out of the jade chariot.
Lifting the curtain and stepping out of the jade chariot, a sense of desolation and vicissitudes suddenly struck, surrounded by loess and high slopes, brown is the main theme here, the land is dry and cracked, the yellow sand is rolling, and there is no breeze in the scorching sun, making people impetuous .
Not far away, densely packed, there are close to [-] people, one by one with their families, carrying luggage, and walking with bitter faces.
"My lord."
"We are all from Jiangzhong County's Xianjin Mansion. We intend to go to Guchuan County to join our relatives. We have disturbed the official. Please forgive me."
Some people bowed their waists and saluted the iron cavalry officers and soldiers.
These people had dark skin, squinted eyes, a thin layer of oil on their faces, and beads of sweat around their necks, and they were on their way under the scorching sun.
"Master Hou."
"There are a large number of refugees ahead, and they probably want to escape the famine."
The attendant came, stood under the jade chariot, and told Gu Jinnian what happened.
"understood."
Gu Jinnian nodded, and then got off the jade chariot. He walked quickly and came directly to the refugees.
Seeing Gu Jinnian's appearance, all the refugees couldn't help showing surprise in their eyes.
After all, Gu Jinnian was wearing a marquis robe, coupled with his extraordinary appearance and imposing appearance, for these rural people, he was naturally astonished.
"Uncle, why are so many people going to relatives?"
"Drought in Jiangzhong County, hasn't the imperial court already allocated funds to transport grain?"
"If you count the days, there should be food delivered to Jiangzhong County. If there are no accidents, food should be distributed."
"It's 950 miles from Xianjin Mansion to Guchuan County. The road is deserted and there are wolves, tigers and leopards. Are you not worried about accidents?"
Gu Jinnian cupped his hands towards the other party, without any pretensions, and spoke very gently, asking the other party.
Five days ago, Gu Jinnian asked the household department to urgently transport food over there, and directly used dragon boats.
Although it is a drop in the bucket, at least the food can be delivered, giving the people peace of mind.
Jiangzhong County is just a severe drought, not a flood or fire. The people have some surplus food in their homes. Once the food from the court arrives, everyone will share a little bit, even if it is half a day's ration.
You wouldn't take such a big risk and walk more than 900 miles to escape, right?
"Go back to your lord."
"Grass people."
The latter was a little afraid to speak, after all, he didn't know Gu Jinnian's background, so many things were hard to say.
"Uncle, this is Gu Jinnian, the Marquis of Daxia. His Majesty sent you to Jiangzhong County for disaster relief."
"If you have any unspeakable secrets, you can tell Lord Hou directly."
"Master Hou will definitely uphold justice for everyone."
The attendant spoke to appease the other party's heart.
When everyone heard the name Gu Jinnian, they were even more surprised.
They don't know each other by destiny.
But they had really heard of the name Gu Jinnian.
"You are Gu Jinnian? Gu Shengren?"
"Is it Gu Shengren?"
"What? Gu Jinnian, Gu Shengren is here?"
All of a sudden, various voices rang out, and the common people called Gu Jinnian a saint, which was a very high honor.
But Gu Jinnian didn't feel complacent because of these titles, instead his tone was more gentle.
"Uncle, fellow villagers and elders, the imperial court has allocated funds for disaster relief, and the food should have been delivered long ago."
"Everyone has something to hide, but it's okay to say, I will definitely uphold justice for everyone."
Gu Jinnian spoke out with a determined expression.
That's all for now.
The people couldn't sit still at all, and knelt down one by one, crying and mourning.
"Saint."
"You have to uphold justice for us ordinary people."
"Where did these officials in Jiangzhong County distribute the food?"
"Not only did they not distribute food, but they also robbed us poor people of food."
"Talk about centralized food and unified distribution."
"The severe drought just came, and every family had some food surplus, but now the food has been confiscated, and some people have starved to death."
"We are also forced to be helpless, saint, if it is not desperate, who would want to leave their hometown."
"My youngest son disappeared on the way to escape, and his life and death are uncertain. Please, please wait for the people for me and uphold justice."
When the old man said this, he burst into tears, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly.
When the rest of the people heard this, they also talked about their situation one after another, and there was a burst of crying.
this moment.
Gu Jinnian also fell silent.
He did not expect that at this juncture, the imperial court would do this.
There are still officials who dare to do this.
Is this really too long?
