After the first assistant's wife is reborn

Since ancient times, it has been rare to have a few years of good weather.

This year either heavy rains caused disasters in the south, or droughts and cracks in the north.

or locusts attack
Generally speaking, after natural disasters, there is no harvest in the fields.

In the end, the common people suffered from hunger and cold, and sold their children and daughters.

The surviving common people were displaced and became refugees.

Not only that, but also caused the plague epidemic.

Generally, small disasters can be handled by localities themselves, and food relief from the government treasury can be used for disaster relief.

A major disaster needs to be reported to the imperial court. The imperial court allocates grain and silver from the treasury to the local area for disaster relief according to the situation. If it is too far away from the imperial court or the grain in the treasury is not enough, it will ask several nearby states to allocate grain.

The most important thing is to send competent people to the disaster relief. Generally, food from the household department may be corrupted. For example, the emperor said that he allocated 100 million dans of grain and 100 million taels of silver, and there were only 80 left when he left the household department.
If you get greedy a little more when you get to the locality, there will be very little left in the hands of the people.

For example, in the event of a flood, the houses of the people are gone, so they need to build houses for the people, as well as seeds for the crops in the fields.

There will be epidemics of diseases in catastrophes, and the people will be treated.These all cost money.So disaster relief requires both food and money.

The most important thing is to have a capable and honest official to provide disaster relief.

The weather in Ningzhou in the south of the Yangtze River has been abnormal for the past few days. The sun rises early in summer, and the sky is usually bright at this time, but now the sky is gloomy, with thick clouds pressing heavily on the top of the head, making it hard to breathe.

A gust of hot and dry wind blew past with dust and sand, covering the sky with a layer of light yellow sand mist, and then heard the sound of rapid rain from far to near, and in a blink of an eye, pea-sized raindrops poured down.Amidst the rumbling thunder, the raindrops slammed on the roof tiles in a hurry, and the rain was pouring like hail, and the courtyard was flooded in an instant.

The torrential rain continued for several days, and the water level in the river rose sharply. The heavy rain washed away the houses and flooded the fields
The disaster situation in Ningzhou was quickly reported to the court and presented to the emperor.

After Wei Ziqian learned of the disaster in Ningzhou, he immediately entered the palace and asked for relief.

Chen Xiao frowned and said, "Wei Aiqing, I want to recruit new people for this disaster relief, to exercise their abilities and test their ability to deal with incidents."

"But, if they are not capable enough, wouldn't they cause the common people to suffer more than necessary?" Wei Ziqian shook his head disapprovingly.

"Wei Aiqing, I think when you were only fourteen or fifteen years old, you went to the army for training, went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and became the champion in high school. At the age of 20, you went south to punish corrupt officials and investigate illegal salt. Now you are only twenty-five. Don't worry, You and I will select suitable candidates, and then go with the experienced officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry to deal with the disaster. If they are useless, Wei Aiqing, then you will have to work hard day and night to rush there, can you do it?"

The emperor has already said so, and it doesn't matter if it's okay or not.

In the early morning of the second day, Father Yuan Bao read to the courtiers the memorial that had been urgently presented at eight hundred miles in Ningzhou.

"Shen You Ben Zuo!" Immediately, outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he saw a young man wearing a blue official robe and a weak crown, with picturesque features and sharp temples. He looked like a orchid and jade tree from a distance, and he was even more suave and suave when he approached.

Needless to say, this young man is Ding Siyu, this year's new champion.

Ding Siyu is only a fifth-rank official, so he is not qualified to enter the hall.

Since today is the big court meeting, he can only stand outside the hall and go to court.

I saw him holding the wat board in his hand, with his head lowered, he walked steadily to the gold-painted and carved dragon chair where the emperor sat, bowed and said: "My Majesty, I recommend myself to go to the disaster relief."

As soon as Ding Siyu finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion around him.

"It's embarrassing to be so young."

"It's not that you're going to visit the mountains and rivers, what are you going to do, Mr. Xiaolang?"

"Young people know how to deal with disasters?"

"Hey, don't go and come back crying, you will delay the disaster relief"

Wei Ziqian looked at his brother-in-law, and then looked up at the emperor.

An epiphany in my heart: my brother-in-law is the candidate the emperor wants.

Chen Xiao was very satisfied with his self-recommendation, and asked gently: "Ding Aiqing, tell me about your plan."

"My Majesty, the Majesty, the Magistrate of Xuzhou took the first step to transport food to Ningzhou for emergency treatment, and ordered the governor of Ningzhou to send troops to fill the Huaihe River with sacks of sand and soil to block the breach of the Huaihe River, strengthen the embankment, and repair the flood discharge channel. Set up tents to settle the refugees. Call there All the doctors and doctors, just in case the plague occurs," Ding Siyu said in an orderly manner.

After learning about the disaster situation in Ningzhou last night, he immediately went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to review the methods of dealing with floods over the years.

Not only that, but he remembered that Xuzhou, where his elder brother was staying, was not far from Ningzhou, and when his elder brother went to work the year before last, there was also a flood there, and his elder brother handled the disaster satisfactorily.

Therefore, the eldest brother is very experienced in dealing with floods.

With the help of a big brother, it will save a lot of detours.Also called disaster victims can get help in time.

Xia Chun, who stood at the end of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, was pleased with his youngest son's courage to recommend himself, and also applauded for his cleverness in pulling his eldest brother to help the disaster.

However, when the brat comes back, he will definitely be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall for two days.

Eldest brother stays in Xuzhou well, no matter how much the government assigns, it won't be his turn to be a local official to go to work?

In case something went wrong during the disaster relief or the disaster relief was not effective, wouldn't my two sons be on credit?
Political achievements are second, but the reputation of the two sons is the most important!
As for what is in the father's head, it doesn't matter, what matters is that the emperor agrees.

"Okay, that's a good point. Whether it's on paper or not, I'm glad that he has the courage to recommend himself!" After Chen Xiao finished speaking, she glanced at the few old oily people who could only play tricks.

When he looked away, he looked at Wei Ziqian and saw Wei Ziqian nodding.Just relax.

Glancing at Yuan Bao, Yuan Bao understood immediately.

Holding Buddha dust in his hand, Yuan Bao took a few steps towards the center, unfolded the bright yellow imperial decree and said in a shrill voice: "By heaven, the emperor ordered Ding Siyu, the governor of the household department, to be the imperial envoy. The Minister of the Ministry, the chief, the grain stone, and ten imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital."

Hey, it turns out that the emperor has long preferred Xinke Zhuangyuan Lang to go to the disaster relief.

In other words, no matter whether Ding Siyu recommends himself or not, he is the best candidate.

When the dynasty was about to end, the emperor did not forget to call Wei Ziqian, uncle Ding Siyu, and the Minister of the Ministry of Household and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to the Imperial Study Room for discussion.

Everyone knows that in the face of a catastrophe, grains and herbs are more precious than anything else. Small merchants are holding back and refusing to sell them, and big merchants are desperately raising prices. The usual price of rice, which costs a bucket of money, has increased by five times in just a few hours!
Even so, there are huge crowds of people lining up in front of the rice shop.

Therefore, first of all, the local government must open a warehouse for food relief, and then send food to the nearby state cities for emergency relief, so as to ensure that the people will not starve to death when the relief food from the imperial court arrives.

Emperor: This disaster relief uses newcomers.

Ding Siyu: I recommend myself to help the disaster.

Wei Ziqian: Hehe, it suits the emperor's wishes.
