back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 240

It takes courage to interrogate such a big family.Fortunately, the Wang family made a fatal mistake, which was to confront the court.Today, when the aristocratic family is declining day by day, it is undoubtedly a dream to use the power of an aristocratic family to contend against a country.

If Dashun is falling apart, maybe it can be done.But Dashun is in the hands of Lu Chengqi. I dare not say that it is already unparalleled in the world, but it can be regarded as a country with prosperity and prosperity.

Under this premise, it is difficult for the Wang family to fight against the imperial court.As long as a person has a bite to eat, who is willing to lift his head on the waistband of his trousers?Not everyone is a careerist. Only when the times come, can they follow the times and become heroes.Otherwise, even if your personal ability is against the sky, you can only stir up some waves, and you will be submerged by the torrent of history at any time.

The only thing Lu Chengqi is worried about now is that those scholarly families who have been officials for several generations will be able to see from this matter that Lu Chengqi does not want some people to occupy the positions of high officials in the court forever.However, Lu Chengqi still holds a sharp weapon, which is the "Dashun Minbao" that dominates the direction of public opinion.Although the previous rumor dispelling made many people see the inside story clearly, this newspaper is clearly the little emperor's private report!As a result, many loyal official readers have been lost, but those who are interested have studied it seriously.Maybe one day, I see the needs of the little emperor by myself, and thus sell goods to the emperor's family, so I will embark on a smooth road in life and make great progress!

Seeing that none of the ministers objected, Lu Chengqi nodded and said, "Let's do this. Do you have other important matters to announce? If not, then retreat!"

As soon as the words were finished, Xu Chongguang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, came out and said: "Your Majesty, the Yellow River has been flooded for a long time, but more than half of the people on Henan Road have been lost, and the fertile land has been abandoned. I hope Your Majesty will show you how to deal with it."

Although the Yellow River is known as the mother river of the Han people in the Central Plains, it is unruly and has repeatedly diverted its course in history.Every time the Yellow River floods, it is the people along the banks who suffer.Although the regular flooding of the Yellow River has brought fertile soil to both sides.But who would want their hard-working homeland to be destroyed without warning?

Flooding in the Yellow River will always be a pain in the hearts of those in power.If it is not governed, I feel sorry for the people; if it is governed, the effect will not be good, and the money spent is like splashing water, and even one or two waves can't afford to jump.

A headache!
Lu Chengqi sighed weakly in his heart, nodded to Xu Chongguang, approved his performance, and then asked: "Do you have a good plan to control the Yellow River?"

It will not be written in history textbooks. In the Northern Song Dynasty in official history, the number of floods of the Yellow River alone was as many as 67 times!Dashun corresponds to the Northern Song Dynasty in history, and the number of floods of the Yellow River will never be less.It wasn't mentioned in the textbook, and Lu Chengqi naturally didn't pay attention to how to control the Yellow River, so until now, he felt helpless.If there were magic tools such as cement, Lu Chengqi would naturally say to build a dam with cement, and at the same time plant more trees upstream to control water and soil.But now there is no cement, and the effect of planting trees is too slow. What should I do?

The ministers in the palace are all people who talk beautifully but are messed up when they do things. It would be strange if they figured out how to control the Yellow River.All the ministers looked at each other, but no one stood up.

Lu Chengqi knew this situation a long time ago, sighed in his heart, named Lin Zhenzhong, Minister of the Household Department, and asked, "Lin Qing, may I ask how much money is still available in the treasury?"

During that time, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs came out of the Lin Township, held the imperial wat, and said respectfully: "Return to Your Majesty, there are more than 200 million coins left in the treasury."

Lu Chengqi was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, he never thought that there was so much money in the national treasury.No wonder, what money is best to embezzle?That is public money, as long as there is a name, you can almost always get public money by reporting it to the top.Many irrelevant corrupt officials have used this method to make a lot of money.

However, since Lu Chengqi rectified the accounting method, it was stipulated that the application for public funds must be reviewed by the officials of the household department, and used under the supervision of the Supervision Department at any time.To the greatest extent, cases of embezzlement of public funds have been eliminated, so that those corrupt officials who have the heart and guts no longer dare to have the slightest thought about the national treasury.

In this case, although the national treasury expenditure is larger than before, there is still a surplus.There are more taxes, so you don't have to be stretched when you spend money. Xu Chongguang, the former Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, saw Lin Zhenzhong's life so chic, and often sighed, saying that he was born at an untimely time.There is quite a sense of envy, jealousy and hatred in it.

When Lu Chengqi heard that there was so much extra money, his eyes lit up even more, and he thought, "God help me too!"

Dang even said: "Since there is still so much extra money, I will allocate 500 million yuan to control the Yellow River. I think that the key to controlling the Yellow River is to build dams. However, the Yellow River is so fast that building dams is very difficult. Zhuqing, who can help you?" Do I share my worries?"

Hearing this, all civil and military officials turned their attention to the newly appointed minister of the Ministry of Industry, Li Jie. Who is responsible for the Ministry of Industry, not only in charge of agricultural affairs, but also in charge of water conservancy!
Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Li Jie knew that it was time for him to express his opinion.In fact, he has no good way, but now that the ducks are on the shelves, how can he think too much?
If even Li Jie can't handle it, who else can count on the rest of the officials?Lu Chengqi is also waiting for Li Jie's statement at this moment, presumably this architectural genius will have some solutions?

Li Jie bit the bullet and came out, "I would like to report to Your Majesty that I am the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and this matter is imperative. But I have not yet made a solid plan, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive me!"

Lu Chengqi heard that Li Jie was willing to take on this task, which showed that he still had some confidence.Saying that there is no safe plan, is there actually a plan?Unexpectedly, Lu Chengqi's thinking was wrong this time.As an honest person, Li Jie has a saying.Say there is no way, really there is no way!
For a moment, he forgot that the person in front of him was not an ordinary person, Lu Chengqi smiled and said: "I will give you two days to think about how to control the Yellow River. After two days, I need to see your memorial... No, I have to explain it to me face to face !"

Li Jie gritted his teeth secretly and said, "I will do my best!"

Lu Chengqi sighed, and said: "Qin Tianjian has already submitted a memorial, stating that there will be a lot of rain and snow this year, especially in the Yellow River area. If there is more rain, the Yellow River will burst its embankments and flood again, and my people will suffer again. Already!"

Hearing Lu Chengqi's compassion, all the ministers said together: "Your Majesty loves the people like a son, it is indeed the blessing of Dashun, the blessing of the common people!"

Momentary emotion, but was flattered to lose even the slightest charm.At this moment, he is in the court again, so he is not allowed to scold at will, Lu Chengqi reluctantly accepted this statement, waved his hand, and said: "If there is nothing important, then retreat to the court!"

All the ministers dare not stop him again, because the sun is already rising, not only the little emperor, but also his own yamen, there are a lot of things going on!

After sending Lu Chengqi into the palace respectfully, all the officials dispersed one by one...

　Thank you book friend Qingyu 613 for your reward. I have already returned to school, and the update is normal.Now I am struggling to catch up with my thesis, and at the same time, I have not yet graduated, so I can use the school's resources to write more historical papers.Otherwise, after leaving school, don't expect to have such high-quality resources...
