"The flood in Luozhou requires quick rescue. Dear friends, I don't know if you have any good strategies to solve this problem as soon as possible,"

The place where the Yellow River broke the embankment has been completely blocked and reinforced. If there is no external cause, there will be no more disasters in a short period of time, but the follow-up rescue work will still take a lot of time and effort. In this flood, a radius of 30 miles in Luozhou was flooded , More than [-] people were killed or injured, and as many as [-] were affected. Luozhou has been prosperous since ancient times and has a dense population, which is why there is such a huge loss.

As soon as he returned to Jinyang, Xing Xing couldn't take care of rest, so he convened a group of officials to discuss the disaster relief. Now that he knew that the disaster was man-made, Xing Xing had to make complete preparations.

"Your Majesty, according to the usual practice in previous years, the imperial court should allocate relief food, build porridge factories at the same time, provide food, and at the same time mobilize civilian husbands to build houses for the affected people,"

"Distribute relief food," Gao Xing frowned, looked at Tang Yong and said, "Tang Aiqing, what do you mean?"

"Your Majesty, I also think that this move is very pertinent. Now that the people of Luozhou are suddenly flooded and many people are displaced, there must be a shortage of food. Distributing food to the hands of the people will solve their urgent needs."

Shaking his head happily, he said in a deep voice: "Transferring food from other places to Luozhou and distributing it to the people, the process may require a lot of manpower and material resources, and it is not easy to manage. Wouldn't it be better to make up your own mind about your spending?"

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible,"

Even if someone stopped him, he said, "Your Majesty, now that Luozhou is suffering, and there is a shortage of food in the city, the merchants must stock up on food and raise prices on the ground. If Your Majesty hands over the money to the people, they will soon be squeezed out by those merchants." , this matter will only intensify and cause more suffering for the common people,"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the merchants are treacherous, and they will definitely take this opportunity to drive up prices, and the imperial court will suffer heavy losses for this,"

"Your Majesty, if money is to be distributed, the imperial court must stabilize prices. In this way, the merchants will no longer deliver food, and the people will have no food to eat, and it will be useless to have money. Wouldn't this be more troublesome?"

Many people in the court objected, and there was a lot of discussion among them. Even Tang Yong looked worried. Although he didn't expressly object, his meaning was very clear.

"It is understandable for businesses to pursue profit," Gao Xing said with a calm face, calm and unhurried: "It is true that they will sit on the ground and raise prices, and make a lot of money, but if the people's homes do not lack food, what they hoard What is the use of food.

Compared with food, it is more convenient to transport money and silver, and the people affected by the disaster are not necessarily just short of food, let them decide on their own, not only can reduce the burden on the court, but also help them better, why not do it, "

"His Majesty,,"

All the people in the hall were frowning, and some of them were stunned, but more of them were doubts and worries, and some impatient people wanted to speak out again, but they were stopped by Xing Xing: "Okay, I've decided on this matter." , Tang Aiqing, "

"The minister is here,"

Tang Yong replied respectfully with a serious expression.

Gao Xing said indifferently: "You will be responsible for this matter yourself. The most important thing is to save the people. If the expenses in the palace can be reduced, try to reduce it as much as possible."

"Yes,"

The reason why Gao Xing is so tough is that first, he helps the suffering people as much as possible, and second, he wants to slowly infiltrate the concept of market economy into this society. It is a gentle method, otherwise it will only be counterproductive, and the gain outweighs the gain.

……

When Xing Xing returned to the imperial study, Xiao Ling had been waiting for a long time. Since the Yellow River broke its embankment, his complexion had always been extremely gloomy, like ten thousand strands of ice, and the strong evil spirit on his body could hardly be restrained, making the guards and maids in the palace tremble with fear , dare not approach.

Knowing the reason for Xiao Ling's visit, his face sank when he was happy, he nodded, and then he went into the imperial study room, and when Xiao Ling came in, he closed the door and said in a low voice when he was happy: "There is a result."

"Yes,"

"Which one,"

"The Ding family,"

"Tianxie Sect, or Tiandao Sect, or Holy Fire Sect,"

"It's the Heavenly Evil Sect,"

"The Ding family, oh,"

With a low sigh, he happily turned around to look at Xiao Ling and said, "Where is the man, take me to see him."

Xiao Ling nodded, dressed in black and with his temperament at this time, he was more like a ghost, walking out erratically.

Xing Xing shook his body, and the dragon robe he was wearing left his body and hung it on the luxurious dragon chair in the room. Xiao Ling flew out behind him.

Following Gao Xing's ascension to the throne, the cold and unkind Xiao Ling became known to everyone. Although his official position was not high, few people in the entire Great Qi Empire dared to provoke him, and everyone in the palace who saw him all avoided him.

Soon, Gao Xing and Xiao Ling left the palace and came to the former Prince Ander's Mansion, later the Prince Regent's Mansion, and now the Crown Prince's East Palace.

Without alarming the guards, Gao Xing and Xiao Ling came to a secluded but heavily guarded courtyard in the mansion. This is the base of Shadow Thorn in Jinyang, and it is also Happy's secret prison. The core members of the group are only Gao Changgong and Gao Xing, father and son.

In a corner of the courtyard, Xiao Ling showed his token to the two guards hiding in the dark, and the cement floor under his feet began to vibrate slightly. A huge five-meter-square hole appeared in front of Xiao Ling, and a stone step extended obliquely down to the distance, and jumping flames could still be faintly seen.

As soon as he stepped into the cave, he was happy to feel a chilly wind blowing towards his face, a strong smell of blood came from his nose, and there was a faint wailing sound in his ears, but his expression remained unchanged, To him, killing and death are like daily changes, and they can't cause any fluctuations in his mood.

Going up and down some dark and damp steps, Gao Xing and Xiao Ling finally stopped in front of a stone room.

Amidst the sound of "rumbling", the stone room opened, and I was happy to see a man in blue bound on the stone wall at a glance. Although his hair was disheveled and his face was a little pale, he looked very handsome, and this man was not very old.

Seeing this person's appearance clearly, he happily stepped in with imperceptibly stagnant footsteps, quietly looked at the somewhat listless prisoner, and did not speak until the young man who heard the movement slowly raised his head, happy Then he said: "Ding Hao, I wonder if you still recognize me?"

The blue-clothed young man's eyes were a little distracted, but when he heard the happy words, his eyes froze, a look of shock flashed across his face, his expression suddenly became a little excited, his body trembled violently, and the iron chains on his hands and feet shook so loudly. "Wow".

"Gao Xin, happy,"

Hoarse voice, blood red eyes, heavy snorting and uncontrollable killing intent.

"I treat your Ding family well. Now your Ding family is also one of the best in Shandong. In terms of assets and reputation, it is several times stronger than Zeng Jin. Why did you betray me?" Gao Xing looked at Ding Hao coldly, but in his indifferent voice There is repressed anger.

"Why, you still ask me why, if you weren't cruel and tyrannical back then, how could my fiancée's family have died, and how could my Ding family have suffered so much humiliation." Ding Hao was extremely angry, his face twisted, and he roared loudly: "Happy, my Ding family seems to have a bright future, but it has always lived in your shadow. I don't accept it. I want revenge. I want to tear you, a lowly villain, into pieces. I want you, a traitorous official, to have nothing. ,"

Gao Xing was silent. When he was in Shandong, in order to break the situation as soon as possible, his methods were indeed very violent. Countless people died in his hands. He has never regretted it, the hands of those rich and powerful families are covered with blood, and he will not feel any guilt in killing them if he is happy. Even if he is not, it would not be a pity to kill those who block his progress.

Looking at Ding Hao coldly, he asked happily, "Who else is involved in this matter, and where are the people from the Tianxie Sect?"

Ding Hao looked at Xing Xing mockingly and said: "Xing Xing, as long as I confess, I will die, you don't want me to tell you a word,"

"Xiao Ling, I will leave the affairs of the Ding family to you. Those involved in this matter should not tolerate it, but don't implicate the innocent." Gao Xing immediately turned around, never looked at Ding Hao again, and walked forward while saying lightly : "Since the Tianxie Sect is so rampant, maybe I have to settle with them." When Xing Xing uttered the last sentence, a chill flashed in his eyes.

After the last word fell, Gao Xing walked out of the stone room, and there was a deep cry of pain behind him, which belonged to Ding Hao. I still remember that the young man bowed his head for the sake of his family, and Xing Xing admired his decisiveness and wisdom. Now But it ended up like this, the world is unpredictable.

I am happy that I will not let Ding Hao go. His mistakes are unforgivable, not because of his betrayal, but because of the thousands of lives buried in the flood, and the heavy losses suffered by Daqi.

For the Tianxie Sect, the killing intent in Gao Xing's heart is even stronger than ever. Their actions have touched the bottom line of Xing Xing, which made him almost out of anger. They will be so resentful, but they shouldn't bring disasters to ordinary people. This kind of behavior is unforgivable. If the Tianxie Sect still exists, if they are happy, they will be ashamed of the innocent souls who died.

A few months ago, Gao Changgong joined forces with Moon Worship Sect and Baihua Palace to exterminate the Tianxie Sect and the Tiandao Sect in the Northern Qi Dynasty. However, the Tianxie Sect was still able to cause the Yellow River to burst. This shows that this The faction that has been passed down for hundreds of years is profound and powerful.

……

"Ling Yi, how is your marksmanship?"

"Killable," the three simple words are enough to see the strong self-confidence of this fierce dragon soul captain. His aura is similar to that of Xiao Ling, but there is something more in his eyes than the former. This is death. The scholar regards death as home, with endless eyes.

"Very good, leave half of the people, and you will lead the rest, sneak into the Zhou Kingdom, and assassinate the masters above the sixth rank of the Tianxie Sect,"

"Yes, sir,"

"Don't fight hard, just try your best." After a pause, he said happily, "Also, you all have to come back alive."
