Chapter 1086 She Has Another Idea
What else can I do, allocate funds for disaster relief!
It is nothing more than a question of how much money to allocate and who will go.

The Emperor Yue listened to the remarks of the courtiers below, and his eyes fell on the face of the Minister of the Household Department.

Minister of the Household Department wiped his sweat and came out, his voice trembling: "Your Majesty, this disaster relief is easier said than done. Before because of the smallpox incident, the Household Department has allocated a lot of money, and the flood in the south this year has reduced a lot. Taxation, the Ministry of Households is really..."

It is really stretched, and there is not much silver in deposit.

If the disaster relief continued, the household department would be empty, which would be dangerous.

The Secretary of the Ministry of War immediately came out and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that you still have to keep some money. The situation in Heicheng and Mengcheng is so bad, and the situation in Beiyi is probably even worse!"

"Now that Princess Rui is dead, our covenant will be terminated. In case the northern barbarians go south to plunder us for our livelihood, we have to prepare sufficient military resources!"

He is the Minister of the Ministry of War, so naturally he is concerned about matters within his scope of duties.

What is the most important thing to fight.

One is people!

The second is money!
If the military expenditure cannot keep up, and the soldiers have no enough food and clothing, what will they use to fight?
Rabbits will bite people when they are in a hurry. In the current situation, the Beiyi people may really go south to fight desperately.

Regardless of the oath of the covenant, it is important to fill your stomach first and stay alive.

Compared with the safety of some people, it is more important to guard the border of the entire Yue country.

The Minister of Rites doesn't think so.

"Your Majesty, we must be on our guard against the invasion of the Northern Yi people, but that didn't happen after all, but right now the people are in dire straits. Your Majesty has always been diligent and caring for the people. You can't sit idly by at this time!"

Minister of the Ministry of War: "I don't mean to sit idly by, but to prioritize!"

Minister of the Ministry of Rites: "You only have the affairs of your military department in your mind, and you are fighting wars all day long!"

……

They didn't come up with an idea, but the two blushed and quarreled.

Hubu Shangshu even copied his hands, looking like he was watching the excitement.

The Emperor Yue was so angry that he slapped the table heavily and said, "Shut up, everyone. Is this the court hall or the vegetable market? The defense line of the frontier is important, as is the food and clothing of the people. I ask you, don't ask you to argue which is more scruples , but I want you to come up with a method and regulations!"

The heavy snow road is difficult to walk, even if it is urgent for eight hundred miles, ten days have passed since the writing of this paper and the handing over to Emperor Yue.

During this time, I am afraid that the situation will start to deteriorate again.

Yue Huang had a headache when he thought about it.

This year is really an uneasy year, one thing after another, there is not much good news.

He became angry, and all the officials below were silent.

Especially the people in the household department, all of them shrunk their necks, lest they be called by the Emperor Yue and asked for a solution.

What can be done, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!
There was a dead silence above the court hall, Yue Huang looked at Hubu Shangshu, who lowered his head like a quail.

King Fu looked worried, but Emperor Yue knew very well about this son in his heart, he could not go to the disaster relief, the officials below had many tricks, he might not be able to distinguish clearly and could not restrain himself.

At that time, it will be a bad thing to be tied up with affection.

Yue Huang looked at Wei Shu again, and saw that his expression was indifferent, as if he didn't think the situation in front of him was a troublesome matter!
Unfilial son!
Since the marriage was bestowed on him, he has always had a good face all day long, and he can put on airs better than the emperor himself.

Do you really think that without him, you can't find another heir?
The Emperor Yue was about to open his mouth to beat and beat, at this moment, Shen Cong came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

"Say!"

"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much. Your Majesty just said that this booklet was handed out ten days ago. I think the situation should be eased now!"

What?
As soon as this remark came out, the courtiers talked a lot.

Days of heavy snow, how to alleviate such natural disasters?

Could it be that if there is no snow in the sky, there will be pies?
This Viscount Xishan is becoming more and more outrageous now. In order to win His Majesty's favor, he even does things like eating human blood steamed buns.

Emperor Yue was not very happy either.

He said in a deep voice: "Shen Zijue, where did you know that the situation has eased? Where can it be eased?"

It was clearly stated in the brochure that the surplus food in each prefecture was basically exhausted, and it could only last for seven days at most.

Not only is there no relief now, I am afraid that more people will starve to death.

Normally, I can't understand Shen Cong's background and people who have received too much favor from the emperor. At this time, they all showed their ugly faces and started to attack him.

One thing after another, what you say is in a good shape.

Not to mention, the ability to diverge thinking is first-rate.

Just as he was talking vigorously, Wei Shu, who had been silent all this time, sneered.

"It's ridiculous. At this time, instead of thinking about how to solve the problem, I wasted my tongue here accusing Shen Zijue. The focus of Master Zhang's attention is really unique!"

Zhang Mao's face froze. Under Wei Shu's sharp gaze, his whole body seemed to be held around his neck by a sharp knife.

Didn't King Huan stay silent when he went to court recently? Why is it that today...

At this time, Emperor Yue also realized that the topic had been misdirected, he cleared his throat, and said majestically: "What King Huan said makes sense, I don't want to hear the offensive words now, you all come up with a solution for me! "

"If you don't give me a plan today, don't disperse, just let me stay here!"

Having said that, everyone panicked.

All kinds of bad ideas emerge in endlessly.

For example, a low-ranking censor suggested that the rich and powerful in Yecheng donate rice and money.

Squeeze the wool of the rich!
Others suggested an emergency tax increase, first moving money from the treasury, and then adding the emergency tax increase.

What a bunch of idiots!
Shen Cong watched all the clowns perform, and then said calmly again: "Your Majesty, I just said that there is no need to worry, I am not talking about it!"

"As early as the thirteenth day, Princess Huan found Weichen. She heard that Weichen was going to expand her business to Heicheng and Mengcheng, so she said that she had a way to give back to the people and make her famous..."

With that said, Shen Cong talked about his cooperation with Su Luo.

People from Prince Huan's Mansion and Viscount's Mansion had already set off with money and rice. Counting the days, they should have arrived in Heicheng and Mengcheng by this time.

Shen Cong also briefly talked about Su Luo's method of disaster relief.

Unlike in the past, where only rice grains were distributed, what she advocated was the model of imperial court rescue and self-rescue.

It is not impossible to solve the severe cold in Heicheng.

Su Luo knew that there was a large coal mine in the north of Heicheng. According to the route in his previous life, it would take about five years before he accidentally discovered it.

But this time Suluo made it available in advance, and those displaced people can dig coal.

The coal dug out can be used for heating, and it can also be transported to other cities in exchange for money and rice, which can be said to serve multiple purposes.

As long as there is coal for heating, the surrounding cities don't have to worry about freezing to death.

The more the emperor listened, the brighter his eyes became, and the courtiers also had mixed feelings in their hearts.
