Datang: Starting from a fortune-telling stall, Wu Zetian was suddenly abducted

Chapter 424 Murderous

After hearing this, many officials below expressed congratulations in advance.

After Luo Tianyi thanked Yuan Shouwei and everyone again, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and sat down again.

Although Cui Ning, who was sitting at the end, just responded, he was very excited in his heart. He himself liked water control. During this period, he learned a lot of theoretical knowledge from Yuan Shouwei, and now he finally has a place to put it to use. .

After Li Ji made arrangements for the two of them, he continued:

"With the efforts of Yuan Guoshi, the flood diversion has been basically completed."

"But this flood is also a painful lesson for us. In the future, as more and more yellow sand accumulates in Hanoi, disasters will occur more and more frequently."

"In order to prevent it from happening, we still need to expand the river channel dug by the Imperial Army by five miles to the east and west sides, repair and improve it. Set up a gate to connect it with the Jinshui River to form a branch. It was led by Zheng, a member of the Ministry of Industry. Be responsible."

During this period of time, Zheng Huai visited the river channel cut by Yuan Shouwei many times. Every time he saw it, he marveled that it was the work of heaven and man.

At the same time, for him who is obsessed with details, he always feels that Yuan Shou's work is too rough.

If it was according to his wishes, Yuan Shouwei would have to spend at least more than ten days after the split, leveling the uneven areas around it, straightening it up, and erecting the embankment before it could be called perfect.

When he heard that he actually had the opportunity to finish what Yuan Shouwei had not finished, he was naturally overjoyed and hurriedly stepped out to agree.

After Zheng Huai returned to his seat, Li Ji continued:

"The matter of rescuing people who fell into the water was listed as an emergency some time ago. Because of this matter, His Highness and I had a dispute."

"Your Highness is dedicated to serving the people, but in the end, he was still used by someone with a heart. It's not clear that he was hacked. But fortunately, it's over now."

"And fortunately, the losses suffered by the people were not great, so we have completed the rescue of the people who fell into the water."

After hearing this, everyone here took a long breath and felt a lot more comfortable.

After all, they came to fight floods and save people. Now the people's losses are not big, and the heavy burden in everyone's heart feels a lot lighter.

Li Ji looked at the relaxed expressions of everyone, took a sip of the tea on the table himself, and then arranged:
"The next thing I want to talk about is disaster relief. Now inside and outside Bianliang City, there are still victims everywhere."

"Because the Sansheng Sect was wiped out, food and housing have become a big problem for many victims."

"So the disaster relief will continue. But this time it must be led by the government, assisted by Puji Temple and local squires. All the money and food they have spent must be recorded, and after the disaster has passed, they will be compensated one by one and reported. The imperial court will award the reward separately. At this time, His Highness is solely responsible."

Li Chengqian nodded in agreement.

Huineng, who was at the bottom, also let out a sigh of relief.

After capturing Dou Ziren and the Sansheng disciples, after interrogation by Qianniu Guard, it was found that the monk who sneaked into Puji Temple was indeed instructed by Dou Ziren.

The purpose is to divert disaster eastward, firstly to confuse the government's attention; secondly, to cause chaos in Puji Temple and have no time to take care of the victims, so that Sansheng Sect can recruit more believers.

Well now, it's finally broad daylight.

After thinking of this, he also gave Li Chengqian and Yuan Shouwei a Buddhist salute with gratitude.

The two men also smiled at Huineng.

After watching the interaction between the three, Li Ji spoke again:

"There is another important matter below, resettling the people. At present, this matter is divided into three."

"If the people's houses are intact, they are immediately ordered to return home as soon as possible."

"If the house is damaged, it will be reported to the government and repaired. If the house is completely damaged and uninhabitable, the government will temporarily arrange accommodation. Li Jinxing is fully responsible for these affairs, with the assistance of Zuo Wen from the Ministry of Personnel and Bian Yuze from the Ministry of Household Affairs. It must be completed as soon as possible to prevent the people from suffering."

Li Jinxing and others heard this and stood up at the same time to take orders.

After receiving the order, Li Jinxing was just about to sit down when he heard Li Ji continue to say: "Jinxing, don't do it yet, there are still things to arrange for you."

"You now have more than 1 soldiers, so your task is also the heaviest."

Li Jinxing was young, and having been with Li Ji for so long, he had already inherited a lot of Li Ji's style of doing things, and he was very willing to do things. After listening, he immediately straightened up again, waiting for Li Ji's arrangement.

Li Ji looked at the heroic Li Jinxing, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile:

"Civil uprising. Now that Sanshengjiao has been eliminated, most of Dou Jiande's former subordinates have also been taken away by Cao Ziyi. A major civil uprising will obviously not happen."

"But inside and outside Bianliang City, the remnants of the Sansheng Sect, refugees with ulterior motives, and many street people are still there. Fights, bullying, and many other things happen every day. People's hearts are now unstable. Although these things are small, they can easily form sparks and start a prairie fire. momentum."

"So I order you to lead sergeants to patrol outside Bianliang City day and night, mainly with persuasion and supplemented by suppression. For the remnants of the Sansheng Sect and the other two types of people, you can kill first and retaliate later. But you must keep your eyes open. , Listen and you will understand, don’t kill in vain.”

When he said kill first and report later, there was already a trace of murderous intent in his tone.

After hearing this, all the officials below were shocked, understanding that Li Ji had handed over all the power of life and death inside and outside Bianliang City to Li Jinxing.

This was obviously to forcefully suppress the situation in order to restore order in Bianliang City as soon as possible.

Especially the local officials in Bianliang City have truly witnessed Li Ji's methods these few times.

He is worthy of being a man who came off the battlefield: patient and decisive.

When Cain endured, he said nothing and allowed his enemies to do whatever they wanted.

When it's time to make a move, there is no ambiguity at all, it must be a thunderous blow.

At the same time, I secretly warned myself that during this period of time, I must restrain my family and servants, keep a low profile, and never cause trouble.

Otherwise, it would be a trivial matter to have a few family members and servants killed. Once he is involved, Li Ji will never be soft-hearted.

Li Jinxing also understood how heavy his burden was, and solemnly said to Li Ji:

"My subordinates will go all out to restore normal order to Bianliang City as soon as possible."

"I will also keep my eyes open to prevent an unjust, false or wrongful case from happening."

"If there is anything wrong, my subordinates will bring it up to see you."

After listening to Li Jinxing's words, Li Ji also stroked the three strands of long beard under his chin, nodded with satisfaction, and showed an expression that said I'm relieved when you do the work.

After making arrangements for the civil uprising, Li Ji spoke again:

“After a major disaster, there will inevitably be a major epidemic.”

"At this time, it's a hot summer, and diseases such as dysentery, typhoid, and plague have begun to appear among the people."

"It must be dealt with as soon as possible and it must not cause a large-scale plague, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

"Chang Bowen of the Imperial Medical Department is responsible for this matter, and Li Jinxing provides assistance."

Chang Bowen and Li Jinxing responded immediately.

After all these important matters were arranged, Li Ji talked about the trivial matters.

After he finished speaking, he looked at the officials below and said:

"You are all fighting on the front line, please share what you have seen and heard, as well as your good ideas and suggestions."

In fact, Li Ji has already spoken relatively comprehensively in all aspects, but in some details, it must be better to work together.
