Settle Down In Tang Dynasty

"You

Li Er sighed and looked at Xue Lang, but he didn't say much. Instead, he talked about Xue Lang's sparring performance. He took out his first piece and looked serious: "I want to listen carefully to Youyang's explanation about the drought."

"Here it is."

Xue Lang rationalized his words in his heart and said: "for nearly half a month, my ministers have been wandering around the city and outside the city. Because of the drought in Guanzhong, there are more and more refugees near the capital. The gathering of so many refugees is a great test for public security and disaster relief ability. Drought is a lasting disaster. It can't be solved in a few days or a month. The court can't ignore the people under its control. It's OK to open a warehouse to release grain for disaster relief in a short period of time. If the time goes on, how can we mobilize public security and food? Too much pressure! What's more, it's even more difficult to see another plague of locusts hanging over your head this year. "

Li Er wrung his eyebrows and nodded in his heart: "I have been discussing this matter with all the ministers in the court recently. Locust disaster and drought disaster are not easy things. Today, the number of households in the world is much less than that in the previous period of Emperor Wen. Especially in Hebei, Shandong, Henan and other places, the continuous war, Liu Hei Kai twice rebelled, strong and brave, ten room nine empty is not empty words. The relationship between the number of people and taxes is related to the state of the world. At this time, it is the right way to have a good rest with the people, so we can only pay light taxes. But heaven is not with me, drought, locusts It still happened in Guanzhong! "

Xiao Li is so sad. Guanzhong has always been a place of grain production, with a large population, complete and mature agricultural and water conservancy facilities, and the stability of Guanzhong can be determined by the world. However, as soon as he ascended the throne, he met with a severe drought, drought and locusts in Guanzhong, which made it even worse.

"There must be no loss in Guanzhong!"

Xiao Li said firmly.

Xue Lang nodded with approval and said in a deep voice: "we can't lose anything. The most important thing is that people's hearts can't be disordered. It's just that it's hard to make sure that nothing happens when there's a big disaster. Therefore, the minister's way is to mobilize them to do things rather than let them cause trouble. Anyway, it's all about disaster relief. It's better to work for relief. If you have something to do, you have income, and you have a rush. Life is more than despair. You can't make a mess if you want to! As for those who are lazy and take advantage of opportunities to create chaos, the local government offices are not equipped with decorations. They should be dealt with strictly, seriously and promptly, punished and deterred. I think it is not likely to cause serious trouble! "

Li Er looked at him with burning eyes and said, "tell me about this work as a relief!"

"Here it is."

Xue Lang explained his own sparring in detail: "I recently checked in Chang'an City, but the environment is not very good. The minister's home is OK, and the environment is worrying near the homes of ordinary people and low-level officials. It was spring, and when the weather was not very hot and there were not many insects, I suggested to repair the drainage ditches in the city. After a disaster, we should prevent the epidemic, and we should do a series of measures and preparations in advance. If we wait for things to come, it will be too late! "

In the past, Xue Lang didn't like to ride a horse or a horse. Rarely did he go out. Even when he went out, the curtain of the carriage was closed. In fact, although Chang'an city is the capital and the capital city, the roads in the city are still dirt roads. It's muddy on rainy days and dusty on dry days.

In later generations, except for a few remote mountain roads, ordinary rural and urban roads are either asphalt or cement roads, and there are few earth roads. Xue Lang, who grew up in modern times, is actually a little bit of a purist.

In addition, in the layout of Chang'an, the ditch on the outer wall of Lifang is actually a drain for sewage, and domestic sewage is discharged from this ditch. Winter is fine. In summer, the smell It's fascinating.

Near the residence of the minister in the court, the drainage ditch was cleaned by servants, and the living environment was OK. But ordinary officials and ordinary people, even in the slums, have no one to do it and have no awareness of it.

In such a living environment, all kinds of infectious diseases naturally breed, and malaria is the first to bear the brunt. Du Ruhui, a famous official of a generation, died of malaria. In this era, in the most prosperous capital Chang'an, malaria is actually a very common epidemic disease.

These days, I think about the drought and locust disaster in Chang'an City before, and I just think about malaria. It happened to be a drought, and the refugees were all over the place. Xue Lang thought of working as a relief to clean up the sewage ditch in Chang'an City and add a cover to the sewer.

“…… Mosquito bites, in fact, are one of the main ways of transmission of many diseases. There is water in the sewage ditch. Mosquitoes like to lay eggs in these places. The measures proposed by the minister are very simple. Adding a layer of cover plate can effectively eliminate the breeding of mosquitoes and the cross flow of sewage, and reduce the outbreak of infectious diseases! "

Xue Lang's words are very detailed and easy to understand Even if he wants to say something professional, he won't be able to explain the problem to Xiao Li from the perspective of his own understanding.

Thanks to the locusts, he has established an image among the emperors and courtiers who know the habits of insects very well. Now, Li Er Shen believes that mosquito bites can infect diseases!

And there's another benefit to this! With Li Er's shrewdness, we can naturally think that it is a moral policy to rectify the sanitary environment in the capital! At this very moment, Li Er really needs to show his virtue. Otherwise, under the continuous natural disasters, he killed his brother and won the throne. It is only sooner or later that he is said to be unable to stand up to the throne.Xue Lang has a whole set of plans for work relief. For this plan, he has gone to many places in half a month, almost everywhere in Chang'an city.

His plan is huge. First of all, he gathered all the refugees and registered their specialties. Then he assigned people according to their specialties and skills. All young people needed to exchange labor for relief materials, regardless of food and clothing. The imperial court gave priority to the elderly, the weak, the sick and the disabled for direct relief.

Mobilize the forces of all departments of the court, from three provinces, six departments, nine temples and five wardens, to the supreme medical department, etc., all of them should take action. The imperial court can also accept private donations. All donors keep a record of their names and engrave tablets of merit and virtue. However, all the donated materials should be allocated by the imperial court, which can not help but provide private relief. However, private relief should also be subject to the government's dispatch.

Most of the measures are the procedures and measures of modern disaster relief of Xue Lang's later generations, but some measures that are not suitable for this era have been adjusted. At this time, the advantages of the ancient times are revealed. At least, the official uniform has absolute power. The effectiveness of measures and control is better than that of modern times. Modern information is too developed, which has both advantages and disadvantages. At least, in the face of the disaster, all kinds of rumors flying all over the world are the things that hold back, which are really harmful but not beneficial.

Li Er was a decisive man. After understanding Xue Lang's plan, he directly ordered: "all the courtiers of the three provinces, six ministries, nine temples and five wardens should be sent to the palace for discussion."

"Here it is."

The palace people ran away.

Even if today is not a day off, it will take some time to gather officials from all departments. Taking advantage of the efforts of others, Li Er clapped another Shuo and said, "the relief work is accurate. The details and assignment will be discussed in detail after Zhongqing's family enters the palace. Taking advantage of this leisure time, Youyang will talk about what this newspaper is!"
