Concubine's Pond

In the imperial study room, it was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water.

Frozen, dead, suffocating.

Horrified, the eyes of the two ministers and many important ministers were like a sharp and cold flame, staring at Luo Ran like a ghost, as if they couldn't believe what they just heard.

What a big tone, what a 'prevention and precautions'!For thousands of years, no one has ever been so crazy!

If natural disasters and plagues and man-made disasters can be controlled by people, they will not be called disasters!Does this kid know what he's talking about?They admit that he is very talented and insightful in water control, but it doesn't mean that he can talk nonsense and be arrogant in disaster relief!

Facing the breathless and questioning sharp gazes of these dozens of people, Luo Ran didn't seem to feel any pressure at all, and calmed down, he asked Zhang Shangshu unhurriedly: "First of all, dare to ask this old man?" Every time the imperial court allocates such a large amount of money for disaster relief, how much will it finally reach the hands of the affected people?"

Zhang Shangshu, who was being asked, shrank his pupils slightly, and burst into an astonishing light in an instant, his orange-peel-like face trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, but his expression was gloomy, and his hands became sharper He stared deeply at Luo Ran.

Luo Ran was fearless, looked at him calmly, and gave the answer himself: "If you don't tell me, the boy will tell you straight - ten out of ten! After layer upon layer of exploitation and deduction, it will finally reach the victims' hands." In it, ten does not save one!"

In the end, Luo Ran showed his sharpness, the sharp attack made everyone's chest tight, his face seemed to be scratched by a blade, but no one refuted it, even the little emperor's face was tense - this is a fact, beyond reproach A fact that cannot be denied.

Where power gathers, corruption will inevitably breed. After killing a group of moths, there will be countless more, just like weeds.

One out of ten... Silently muttering to himself, Huangfu Ye's peerless eyes narrowed slightly, a thin cold light flooded through the pupils, and there was a dark wave, but it quickly subsided, as cold as water.

Obviously, he is also powerless about this matter.For thousands of years, the accumulation of human greed and conflicts and entanglements of interests have turned this matter into a difficult problem.

As a result, the already stagnant atmosphere in the imperial study room became even heavier.Silence began to spread.

Luo Ran suddenly chuckled, and the clear and neutral voice seemed to have clean sunshine, breaking through the heavy haze in the room.

"When the water is clear, there will be no fish." With her slender hands behind her back, she raised her chin slightly, and the silver mask reflected the dazzling metal light under the orange palace lantern light, "Of course I understand this truth."

"However, you can't raise too much fish and kill all the small fish and shrimps—you can't get the big head of life-saving money." Luo Ran laughed ironically, "Why don't you set up a disaster relief supervisor, high salary and low income, first-level The first-level posting a list to disclose the whereabouts of every disaster relief money and food? The eyes of the world are looking directly at it, so it’s not easy to be greedy, right?”

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful strategy!The breathing of the two ministers and the ministers suddenly became heavy, their eyes lit up, and they stared at Luo Ran frantically, almost looking up at the gods. Their faces were red and their necks were thick, and they were so excited that they almost burst into flames. .

God bless Hengyue, let such a ghost come into the world, Hengyue is very happy, very happy!

Staring at her intently, Huangfu Ye's eyes became brighter and brighter, bright and flowing, deep and soft, as if flowing a pool of warm water, but underneath was hot magma, burning people's love.

Heart palpitations and pride throbbed back and forth in his chest, he looked at the "boy" who looked at the surroundings and stood there neither humble nor humble, feeling very happy, what more could a husband ask for if he had a wife like this?

Yun Luoran, you are my priceless treasure.In this world, no one can take you away from me, otherwise, no, die, no, rest.He pinched his fingers and swore word by word in his heart.

"Secondly, if we want to reduce or even prevent the outbreak of civil unrest and prevent the escalation of the situation, the key is to appease the people - the most important thing in disaster relief is food." Luo Ran stood a little tired, frowning at Huangfu Ye He gave a dissatisfied glance, after coming in for so long, he still made her stand without even serving a cup of tea...

After receiving her eye knife, Huangfu Ye smiled indulgently, and waved his hand gracefully, "Come here, invite Mr. Wushuang to take a seat and serve the best tea."

"what……"

"Little friend Wushuang, here, sit here!"

"Master Wushuang, this way please, this way please!"

At this moment, Zhang Shangshu and Lin Shangshu just woke up from a dream, busy showing their hospitality, smiling like chrysanthemums, beckoning Luo Ran to sit beside them.Such an astonishingly talented young man with a peerless elegance, even if he is not aiming at the gilded signboard of His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, he must try his best to win him over!

The other ministers also expressed their affection with eager eyes, but they didn't make any invitations - the two immediate superiors personally opened their mouths to pull people, and they didn't dare to make people unhappy with their white eyes.

If you don't have anything to show your courtesy, you can either rape or steal.Looking at the two bright chrysanthemum smiling faces, Luo Ran shuddered all over, pretending not to hear, ignoring the slightly sad and regretful eyes of the two, and quickly picked the one that was the farthest from the two, but the closest to Huangfu Ye sat down.

The little eunuch immediately came up and served tea respectfully.

The little emperor glanced at Huangfu Ye, and tilted his head out of Huangfu Ye's arms, blinking and blinking at her with big black jade-like eyes, his eyes flickered, and became a little weird.

The empress dowager's vision became more and more complicated, she was sympathetic and regretful but subdued.

Luo Ran breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the teacup and took a sip of the fragrant tea, moistened his throat, and continued to pick up the topic just now: "I just said that the most important thing to appease the people is food. There is a saying that the most important thing is the wealth of the country. It’s easy to make money. Grain grains are as precious as treasures during the period between the disaster and the water recede before farming resumes. The soaring food prices often lead to the collapse of the overall situation and civil violence. The reason is that unscrupulous businessmen colluded with officials, officials and businessmen, speculating and hoarding Grain is driven up and sold at high prices, resulting in a desperate situation where the rich can’t buy much food or even can’t buy food, so the government and businessmen force the people to rebel, and the people have to rebel in order to survive.”

After a pause, Luo Ran smiled slightly, showing her snow-white teeth: "In my humble opinion, if the imperial court can come forward to control the price of grain, prohibit merchants from hoarding grain to drive up prices, and stabilize the price of grain within the acceptable range of the people, the people will Chaos can at least be reduced to the minimum, and the overall situation of the world will be fine."

Don’t you see, price regulation during droughts and floods is the most beautiful hand played by the national government in the 21st century.

"When the overall situation is stabilized, disaster relief can be done slowly. The remaining problems are nothing more than the plague and resettlement of refugees." After Datong finished speaking, Luo Ran's mouth was dry, and he drank a full cup of tea in one go. , took a long breath before continuing to speak.

Putting down the empty teacup and pushing it aside, she lazily glanced at everyone in the imperial study, including Huangfu Ye who was staring at her with deep and burning eyes, and said in a brisk tone, "Let's talk about the plague first. Boy, do you know?" I have also studied medicine for several years, and I have personally experienced several plague outbreaks. I have done some research on several plagues that broke out after natural disasters. For example, cholera... well, it is the severe wind and cold after the plague. In fact, most of them are It can be avoided and contained. Most of the outbreaks of the plague are caused by unclean diet. The so-called disease enters from the mouth. Vegetables, fruits and wild vegetables are absolutely inedible, and drinking water must be boiled before drinking. Because after the disaster, these things are covered with unclean and living things that are invisible to the naked eye brought by the flood.”

It was difficult for Luo Ran to explain to these ancient people what microbial parasites and parasites are, and he explained it directly with unclean and living things invisible to the naked eye.

"After being infected, the lack of doctors and medicines will often make the disaster area worse and the infection will be faster. If people are isolated before the first plague patient appears, eating, drinking and laxatives are handled separately, and attention is paid to disinfection. Then you can avoid infecting others. In terms of treatment, the most dangerous part of cholera is high fever, abdominal pain like colic, and diarrhea. As long as you survive this high fever, your life will be saved. Due to the scarcity of supplies after the disaster, no medicines can be found, many People lose their lives when they have a high fever. Here, the boy has a magic formula to reduce the fever and reduce casualties——alcohol. Use strong alcohol to rub the patient's body. Those with wounds can also make the wounds heal faster, and at the same time, give the patients some boiled cold water mixed with salt water from time to time, as long as they are not too seriously ill to ignore the medicine, this method can be used for first aid.”

Luo Ran tried hard to recall the knowledge about cholera prevention and control in the 21st century, while trying to use short and easy-to-understand words, there is no way, no western medicine can be developed in this time and space, she just knows the most accurate treatment method and the name and composition of the medicine , can't get it out.

Although she claims to be both a doctor and a poisoner, except for poison, she only uses finished medicine in terms of 'medicine'.

Lin Shangshu's eyes were straightened, he was extremely shocked, and there were waves of shocking waves in his heart. After swallowing hard, he finally asked in a dry and trembling voice: "Wu, Wushuang, you... You, you learn from the doctor Cheng where?"

Now, he even used his honorific title.

"... Medicine King's Valley." Luo Ran pulled out the flag in awe-inspiring manner to flicker, anyway, she was right, she is currently studying medicine with Jun Yaoxie.

In an instant, the entire Imperial Study Room seemed to explode. Except for Huangfu Ye, everyone, including the little emperor and the empress dowager, covered their mouths in surprise and let out a sharp gasp. There was no doubt about it.

Medicine King Valley!It turned out to be one of the three holy places in the mainland, the Medicine King Valley, the holy land of the pharmacist world!No wonder this "young man" spoke so confidently and nonchalantly, how could it be possible for a person who came out of the Medicine King Valley to not have shocking methods and medical skills!

Especially the Empress Dowager, her eyes flashed, she seemed to think of something, she couldn't help laughing strangely, she learned from Yaowanggu, no wonder she made such a request to that Princess Hailan with Ye Ye, so full of confidence!

At first she didn't understand what the hell Ye was up to, but now she fully understands how it is possible for a person who came out of Medicine King Valley to lose in medical skills. I am afraid that the outcome of the culinary competition has been decided early in the morning... Poor Princess Hailan and the Lord of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

The peerless eyes were shining brightly, Huangfu Ye looked at Luo Ran with a smile, the corners of his lips curled up into the most beautiful arc.As beautiful as fireworks.

"The next step is the resettlement of the refugees and the aftermath." Feeling sleepy, Luo Ran covered his face with his sleeves and yawned a little, "Set up soup sheds and shelters along the way." So wait, there are rules for these, so there is no need to say more, the boy only makes some suggestions for the aftermath of the refugees who have receded from the flood and returned to their original places."

"I have read the aftermath files of previous years. Sending people back to their hometowns is definitely the biggest trouble in the end of the entire disaster relief. The imperial court clearly allocated a huge sum of money to rebuild the disaster area, dredging the river and building fortifications. The refugees received new money and livestock for their homes. However, most of them are unwilling to leave immediately and return to their hometowns, and they don’t leave until the reconstruction work of the imperial court is almost completed. In this way, after the imperial court rebuilds the disaster area, the farming season has already been delayed, and it is impossible to farm and plant crops, so that they will still be unable to make ends meet in the coming year. If you have to borrow government food to live, you will eat up the food and income for the next few years in one year, and your life will be miserable, and the people will complain. To solve this problem, we must first solve the progress of rebuilding the disaster area."

Picking up the tea that was refilled by the little eunuch, which was about to go cold, Luo Ran organized his speech while drinking tea leisurely, and cast his eyes slowly to the thoughtful Lin Shangshu, "My lord, after the boy proposed a solution Before I do, could you please answer a few questions for me?"

"You ask, the old man must know everything." Lin Shangshu was startled, quickly raised his head, put away the oily face of the old man in the officialdom, and replied solemnly, there was even a trace of awe and fear in his kind attitude ——No way, who told me that the person in front of me came out of the Valley of the Medicine King!

"Thank you for your love, sir." Luo Ran bent her lips, and the deep black pupils behind the silver mask suddenly became sharp, piercing Lin Shangshu as if there were broken sword lights floating in her eyes, "Dare to ask, sir, I am Hengyue Who will be responsible for the reconstruction of the disaster-stricken areas?"

"The fortifications were undertaken by all kinds of in-service craftsmen who were naturalized in the disaster area, prisoners in the government offices of various states and counties, and local soldiers." Lin Shangshu replied without thinking.

"Then ask my lord, how many types of craftsmen, prisoners, and local soldiers are there?" Luo Ran lowered his head and played with his fingers, asking playfully.

"I have to read the roster to determine the exact number, but the approximate number may be around one hundred thousand..." Lin Shangshu seemed to realize something at the end of his speech, and was momentarily stunned, stunned Word.

Seeing his expression and everyone's surprised expression, Luo Ran smiled with satisfaction, these people finally got a little enlightened, "Then I would like to ask my lord, these hundreds of thousands of people are distributed to the disaster-stricken counties and towns in the south. How much can you divide?"

nnd, with so few people assigned to so many places, how many people can each place get?In the face of the huge reconstruction work, the few people assigned to each place are simply a drop in the bucket, so it is strange that the work is not delayed!In ancient times when productivity was so low, the power of many people is great!

Lin Shangshu, Zhang Shangshu and all the officials who fully understood their faces turned blue, and they were speechless and unable to speak.

The little emperor's eyes widened, and a strange light flashed in those big jade-like eyes.

Huangfu Ye pursed his thin lips, and smiled coldly.

Very good, this group of trash finally understand, fortunately it's not too late - he thought of this a long time ago, but, he can't think of any good solution, except for disturbing the people, the reconstruction works are understaffed It is not so easy to fill up the huge vacancy in the country. The transfer of artisans and prison inmates from other places to support in the past will not save the fire from afar, and there will be other friction problems. The local army must not be mobilized.

But, ah, I don't know what kind of surprises and tricks you will bring to my husband this time?

Huangfu Ye smiled softly, his eyes focused on Luo Ran expectantly.

"Let me ask again, my lord, I don't know how much the number of displaced people who have been affected by the disaster is compared to the craftsmen and prisoners, and the local soldiers' bravery?" Luo Ranchun was kind and seductive.

I'm afraid this number is ten or a hundred times that of the artisan prisoners. It's really a pity that such a large labor force is not used.

Huangfu Ye's whole body was shocked, a bright stream of light flowed through his eyes, and he suddenly realized that he raised a dazzling smile, yes, why didn't he think of this!

"You...you mean...!?" Lin Shangshu's eyes lit up suddenly, and he looked at Luo Ran in disbelief, his face flushed, and he was a little speechless with excitement.

"This, this... will it work..." Zhang Shangshu also understood, stuttering with excitement, if this method is feasible, it will be of great help, it is simply a great achievement in governing the country!

What's the meaning?What works and what doesn't?You guys have made it clear! !

The rest of the two films are a group of people, their heads can't turn around for a while, and they are confused by the endless words of the two immediate bosses, so they can only stare blankly at the two elders and "Mr. Wushuang" to announce the charade.

Luo Ran raised her eyebrows, "Why not?"

"But...but..." The two old foxes were incoherent with excitement, trembling, staring at Luo Ran with their shining eyes, for fear that they might be hallucinating.

"No, but 'relief with work' is enough." Luo Ran announced the answer lightly, "Anyway, the reconstruction money allocated by the imperial court is the wages for hiring people to do it. Since it is hiring people, why can't they be hired? Refugees? If it’s not that they can’t live anymore, who would want to stay away from their homeland and detain them in a foreign land? The refugees are paid according to the wages of the craftsmen. It is better to be more concerned about this and be more active and diligent. Besides, during the reconstruction period, the refugee detention centers in various places have nothing to do and no income. This method can not only increase their income, but also reduce the heavy living burden caused by the disaster. It can also speed up the progress of the fortifications, not delay the farming season, and restore the local people's livelihood as soon as possible, so why not do it?"

"Okay! Your son is a great talent, a great talent!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Shangshu and Lin Shangshu couldn't help their blood boiling. They were so excited that they suddenly slapped the table and stood up, applauding loudly.The other ministers and officials were so shocked that their minds went blank and they were completely unable to react.

His chest was tumbling fiercely, Huangfu Ye's body was stiff, he clenched his fingers secretly, and exhausted all his strength to control his urge to rush up to grab this little woman and give her a deep kiss, even though he already had the mentality Prepared, but when I heard the solution she said, I still couldn't help being deeply shocked!

What kind of wisdom and insight do we need to come up with such a detailed and thorough approach?

Yun Luoran, you are an inexhaustible treasure!

"The two adults are too praised." Luo Ran felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Huangfu Ye's passing and scorching eyes, coughed lightly, and turned his face away lightly, feeling very guilty... Cough, what, In fact, it's not that she is talented, these things she saw from Chinese textbooks and history textbooks when she was a student...

The little emperor was amazed, and stared at Luo Ran dumbfounded. He was so strong. He always thought that the most powerful person in the world was his little emperor uncle. There was nothing in the world that his little emperor uncle could not solve. Such a fierce man who is more fierce than his little emperor...

What Uncle Xiao Huang said was so right, there really is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond the human world!

The beautiful young empress dowager stared at Luo Ran, she didn't know what to say. According to her, it's a miracle that this kind of woman who is more evil than night is still alive and not strangled by God... How did her head grow?

"Ahem, Your Majesty the Regent, I have some thoughts about the nomadic tribes in the Northeast and the fall winds of the Daliao Dynasty that you mentioned earlier..." Feeling refreshed by so many looking up, Luo Ran realized that My skin has thickened, and I am no longer guilty of continuing to plagiarize the cultural essence of my ancestors in such a short period of time, even my ears are no longer burning.

"Wu Shuang can say whatever he wants, and this king is all ears." Giving her a provocative gaze, Huangfu Ye showed a lazy and seductive arc, which was evil and charming.She is so obedient and caring, wait a minute, how can he reward her?

"Yes." Luo Ran answered seriously, but couldn't help but give him a warning look, Your Highness the Regent, you are really enough, can't you see that the eyes of a group of people are full of color!She didn't want to hear rumors that her husband had a penchant for splitting his sleeves the next day...

"The following analyzes the reasons for the war between the nomadic tribes in the Northeast and the Daliao Dynasty in autumn. In the final analysis, it is because the two seasons in autumn and winter do not have enough food to survive the winter. In order to obtain enough food to survive the winter and replenish the population that died after the severe winter , they have to launch plundering wars to obtain everything they need. Therefore, the relatively affluent Hengyue has become their target." Luo Ran flicked his fingers, "So, as long as the other party's demand for food is met, then these wars will not be able to be waged. Wake up, after all, after having enough food, no matter how warlike the tribal race is, they don’t have the heart to start a war, if they are not forced to a desperate situation, no one in this world wants to die.”

"You mean, don't you mean... Let us deliver food to them?" Lin Shilang, who had not yet recovered from the shock, got excited when he heard this, and glared at Luo Luo absurdly. Then he yelled out.

"How is it possible?" Luo Ran smiled slightly, and her clear voice smashed into the air word by word like broken jade and ice-"I mean, open the border trade, exchange our Hengyue's grain, salt, oil and cloth for the other party cattle, sheep, and livestock, as well as precious medicinal materials on the snow-capped mountains! Barter for things, everyone gets what they need!"
