Chapter 391
He only heard him say, "Prince Bing, the official thought he would send someone to provide disaster relief immediately!"
"Oh? How to provide disaster relief? Tell me!" Fengyun looked at the minister who was out of the list. She naturally knew his background. Not to mention anything else, this adult had eighteen concubines in his family! No one knew it. Looking at the adult's face and thin skin and his footsteps were obviously caused by being immersed in the gentle place for many years. The concern was that the essence had been drained.
"This..." the minister paused and immediately said: "In the past, such droughts occurred, the treasury was directly allocated by the state treasury, and officials... sent to escort silver to those seven prefectures and counties..."
"It's a drought now, and there is a shortage of water there. What's the point of sending silver? Do you want the people in that place to eat raw silver?" Feng Yun raised his eyebrows lightly.
"This...this..." The adult immediately stuttered for a while and said again: "Then escort the bucket over..."
"Oh? How many people can a bucket of water save? How many buckets of water do you have to send? There are more than 100,000 people in the seven southeastern prefectures and counties. Lord Li, why don't you calculate it for this princess?" Feng Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, wondering how this brain-dead man could be Shangguan.
"This...this...this...Princess!" Lord Li immediately trembled and knelt on the ground.
Feng Yunqing ignored him and looked at others: "Who has any good plans?"
Feng Yunqing glanced down, and everyone felt a stern heart. Those who wanted to seek credit began to think carefully. The hall fell into silence again.
Fengyunqing was not in a hurry, and waited slowly.
After a moment, another person left the list. This time it was from the Sixth Prince Party. He bowed lightly to Fengyun: "The officials thought that they should immediately send people to the place to check the disaster situation in the seven prefectures and counties to see if there was a way to get water. In addition, they would be transported to the seven prefectures and counties. The water delivery that Lord Li said just now is feasible, but it cannot deliver water in the capital city so far away, but to transport water sources in prefectures and counties near the seven prefectures and counties. First, save the people from water and fire, and calm the people's hearts."
"Yeah!" Feng Yun nodded gently. He raised his eyelids and looked at the adult who was talking. He saw that he was only in his thirties. He was a strategist in the Sixth Prince's Mansion. No wonder he could take the position of strategist, and he did have two abilities.
The adult retreated and stood up. Another person immediately stepped out and said, "The officials thought the disaster was too serious now, and the distant water could not save the nearby fire. They needed seven prefectures and counties to rescue nearby, take in the lost refugees and prevent the rebellion of refugees."
"Yes!" Feng Yun nodded gently.
Another adult came forward: "The officials thought the two adults in front were right. In addition, they would also need to reduce taxes from the seven prefectures and counties, stop collecting commercial taxes, and issue decrees to the seven prefectures and counties that are effective in stabilizing the hearts of the people, and appease the disaster-stricken people."
"Yeah!" Feng Yunqing nodded again, glanced at him. These were indeed what he should do when he discovered the disaster. She never dared to underestimate the wisdom of the ancients. Her voice eased a little, but she did not lose her majesty: "Is there any?"
No one below responded again.
Feng Yunqing's eyes fixed on Lord Liu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue: "Mr. Liu, let me tell you what you think."
"Yes, princess!" Lord Liu immediately stepped out and bowed to Fengyun: "The official agreed with the admirals. He is willing to go down to the seven southeastern prefectures and counties in person to transport materials, supervise disaster relief, and appease the people."
Fengyun nodded gently, then glanced around: "What you said is just a treatment of symptoms but not a root cause. As far as I know, disasters will occur in the southeast region every year. This is not a solution to disaster relief every year. I wonder what good advice do you have once and for all?"
Fengyun opened his mouth lightly, and immediately shook his head.
Fengyunqing's eyes swept over Yu Jin, and Yu Jin stood quietly. Chu Yuanxi looked at her for no reason, with strange eyes, and the Tenth Prince Consort kept lowering his head, as if he was thinking.
"Is there a good idea for the Tenth Prince Consort?" Feng Yun looked at Du Yun with a slight look on his face.
Du Yun was shocked and looked up at Feng Yunqing, as if he had not expected Feng Yunqing to call him. His eyes showed a surprised look, and then he quickly covered it, walked out slowly, and said respectfully: "Back to the princess, according to the information of the seven prefectures and counties in the southeast region, those seven prefectures will experience severe drought after May every year, mainly due to no rainfall. Moreover, not only severe drought, but also plagues of different degrees of severity. Decades ago, the situation is also very severe drought today, and even epidemics have occurred, with countless casualties and injuries."
Fengyun nodded: "Continue!"
"Yes!" Du Yun paused and said, "According to the Xiaguan, the disaster this year is very similar to the disaster decades ago, so it is afraid that locust plagues and disease epidemics will not be ruled out. Just now, Lord Liu's memorial also stated that all the people in seven prefectures and counties have died one after another. If drought and plague continues to prevail, it is very likely to hide. Therefore, there must be a complete plan for this epidemic and pay special attention to it. Otherwise, if you can't control it, you may be rushing to the capital, and it will be out of control at that time."
"Yeah!" Feng Yun nodded gently, his face a little solemn. Du Yun said very well, this was exactly what she was worried about when she saw Lord Liu's memorial. The drought has developed into this way. Once people die, plague will appear. Once the plague expands rapidly, it will be out of control. Then, it will be difficult to deal with in ancient times, where nothing is developed.
Du Yun glanced at Fengyun and retreated.
"Do you guys have something to say?" Feng Yun glanced at the ministers with a light look.
Since Du Yun finished speaking, everyone's expression became a little heavier, and the people who had disagreed before also became a little heavier. They shook their heads and stopped talking.
"Come on! Come on and present the topographic maps of seven prefectures and counties!" Feng Yunqing said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" An eunuch immediately walked down. Within a moment, he brought the topographic map of Nanyang. In ancient times, this topographic map was used for marching and fighting, and it was not as good as it could be bought on modern maps on street stalls. This topographic map is only available in the palace.
The map was presented, Fengyun waved his hand lightly and asked the two little eunuchs to hold it high. She slowly spoke: "All the adults carefully see how different these seven prefectures and counties are there? See what do you think?"
"There are fewer trees in these seven prefectures and counties than other prefectures and counties!" said a great man.
Another adult said: "There are more mountains than other prefectures and counties."
As soon as the two adults started, the adults started talking, Fengyun listened quietly. For a moment, Chaoyang Palace was particularly lively. Only Yu Jin, Chu Yuanxi, Du Yun and others did not speak anymore. But they were also looking at the topographic map and listening quietly.
About ten minutes later, Feng Yunqing also heard a rough idea and waved his hand.
All the adults stopped understanding and immediately bowed and stood up.
Fengyunqing walked down the jade steps, stood in front of the topography, and pointed: "Have you ever noticed that there is a river here?"
Everyone nodded together.
"This river is in Linping County, and Linping County and Yuezhou are separated by a mountain. If we open the mountains and divert water into these two places, who can know how long it will take?" Although Feng Yunqing asked the Lord, he set his sight on Du Yun.
"This river is called Yunu River. The river passes through five prefectures and counties. It is the largest of the eighteen prefectures and counties in the southeast. If it is as the princess said, it will take half a month at the earliest." Du Yun pondered for a moment.
"Yes!" Feng Yun nodded gently.
"This river supplies water to five prefectures and counties. It is feasible if the water is diverted. However, now seven prefectures and counties are harmed. If the princess opens mountains to divert water, it will only make a profit in the two prefectures and counties of Yuezhou and Hengzhou." Du Yun said again.
"Not two, but five." Fengyun shook his head lightly and pointed: "Changde is close to Hengzhou, Tonggu and Wukai are close to Yuezhou. This can solve the problem of water supply to five prefectures and counties. This river supplies ten prefectures and counties."
Du Yun was stunned and nodded.
"As for these two prefectures and counties..." Feng Yunqing pointed to Chenzhou again, and paused, and gently swept his eyes to the ground and threw them to the previous one, and slowly said: "Get up, Lord Li!"
Everyone was listening to Feng Yunqing's words attentively. Maybe she suddenly turned around and looked at Lord Li kneeling on the ground.
"Sir, Princess!" Lord Li immediately thanked him and got up from the ground.
Fengyun Qing looked outside at the sky. It was already noon. She slowly walked back and sat down. Her fingertips knocked on the armrest of the chair and stared at the adults below for a while. Her slightly deep voice slowly opened: "What are the great ideas of the Ninth Prince?"
"These two prefectures and counties do not rely on the mountains or back on the water. They are blocked from other prefectures and counties, and they are not able to divert water. I am afraid they can only send water to rescue them for the time being." Chu Yuanxi looked away from the topographic map and looked at Fengyun and said lightly.
"Well, then send water!" Feng Yun nodded gently.
Chu Yuanxi was stunned. Feng Yunqing's eyes fixed on Du Yun: "Will the Tenth Prince Concubine go to open mountains and divert water to provide disaster relief?"
"But with the princess' order, Du Yunwan will never refuse to die!" Du Yun immediately bowed.
"Okay! This princess ordered the ten princesses to lead a thousand soldiers to Kaishan and extradite the water of the Jade Girl River to five prefectures and counties. The limit is 15 days, no mistakes shall be made." Fengyun spoke slowly.
"Yes, Du Yun received the princess's will." Du Yun responded immediately.
Fengyun nodded, looked at Lord Liu, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and spoke again: "Lord Liu is in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, so he is naturally not allowed to leave. Lord Liu recommends two officials to take charge of the water sources near several prefectures and counties to transport them to seven prefectures and counties to ensure the supply of water scarce areas. How about it?"
"Yes, the lower officials recommended the deputy envoy of the Tongzheng Envoy, Lord Zheng and Deputy Xiaoqi Governor Zhao." Lord Liu said immediately.
"Okay! Just these two adults!" Feng Yun nodded gently, one literary and one military officer, which was just useful: "Immediately ordered the two to set off, lead a thousand people to protect the journey, and take another 800-mile fast rider to the government offices in various places, and do their best to assist the two adults in transporting supplies and water sources unconditionally. If they do not cooperate, they can remove their official position and remove their petals from the top. In addition, the Imperial Hospital will also choose a few young and promising imperial physicians to accompany them!"
