Chapter 179 The disaster in Jiangzhong County, the disaster relief of the imperial court, officials
Chapter 179: Jiangzhong County is in trouble, the court is providing disaster relief, and the officials are corrupt, do you think they will live too long?
Daxia Kyoto.
Feiyun Ancient Road.
An elite force is rushing to Jiangzhong County as quickly as possible.
At the head are hundreds of cavalry, clearing the way in front, with four hundred cavalry escorting on the left and right, and five hundred cavalry protecting the rear.
At the center of the elite cavalry was a jade chariot, galloping towards the front.
Inside the jade chariot.
Gu Jinnian is reviewing and approving an urgent military report. These are military aircraft intelligence sent by Longxi County, Donglin County, and Nanyue County.
Gu Ningya was sitting aside, also carefully reviewing and approving some relevant information. He would review and approve matters within the court, and then inform Gu Jinnian.
Gu Jinnian is in charge of emergencies in the three counties.
About half an hour later, Gu Jinnian completed the review and approval of the military aircraft information, gave relevant opinions, and handed it to Gu Ningya in an envelope.
"Uncle Six, please send someone to urgently escort these military aircraft intelligence."
Gu Jinnian spoke up and took a long breath.
For the past five days, he had been engraving formations, which consumed too much of his energy and energy. Now he is even more sleepless, reviewing and approving articles and memorials, and has not even slept at all.
A strong Martial King naturally does not need sleep, because the true energy in the body can keep people in a high-spirited state. However, if the true energy is exhausted, the body will naturally be unable to bear it.
This can be regarded as Gu Jinnian's physical strength. If it were another strong King of Martial Arts, he would be exhausted after imprinting a thousand formations.
Gu Jinnian carved 10,000 seals, which is the limit among the limits.
You can only persist for a while at most, and you must take a good rest for a day, otherwise your body will not be able to bear it.
"good."
Gu Ningya took the document and walked out of the jade chariot. After a while, he entered the jade chariot again.
"Jinnian, we have sent someone to escort you urgently."
"What's the situation in Daxia now?"
Gu Ningya sat down in the jade chariot, looking at Gu Jinnian with some curiosity and asked.
"There were too many casualties in the earthquake in Longxi County, and the rescue mission was very difficult. The prince led 300,000 troops and added another 200,000 men."
Gu Jinnian opened his mouth to explain the situation in Longxi County.
Earthquakes are earthquakes.
Fortunately, the houses in ancient times were not too high, which was quite lucky for most people in villages and counties. Unfortunately, some restaurants and inns in the city suffered heavy losses, but their money was still fine.
The key is to hit the right people. The prince has already started to ask the soldiers to start the rescue. But the most difficult thing about the disaster caused by the earthquake is the rescue.
You don't know if there is anyone down here, but you can't bet. Even if there is one person, you have to rescue him. You can't let go even if there is a glimmer of life.
The military intelligence sent by the prince was to ask Gu Jinnian whether to rescue him in a targeted manner or in all aspects.
As for this pertinence, it is actually through some warriors to listen for the sound of breathing or heart beating. This method has a certain effect, but it cannot be guaranteed to be 100% correct.
Gu Jinnian's advice was to do everything possible to save him and to save him in a targeted manner. The place was too big and by the time the warrior could hear the sound of a beating heart, he would probably be cold by the time he was rescued.
It is better to go to the rescue directly, of course, first solve the confirmed situation, and then deal with the uncertain situation.
All in all, we must let the people see the methods of the Daxia Dynasty.
"Half a million soldiers should be enough manpower."
Gu Ningya asked curiously.
"not enough."
"And the real trouble is not manpower, but food supply, water supply, and various material rescues."
Gu Jinnian shook his head. An army of five hundred thousand sounds exaggerated, but if it is for disaster relief, it is really not much.
However, the prince has begun to mobilize the people to fight the disaster together, which can be regarded as solving the urgent need.
But the issue of food supplies is more important.
Where do the soldiers live?
Where will the rescued people live?
Where do the surviving people live?
Food, drink, drug resources, and refugee planning sites, including a series of things, all require people to do it, and they also need assistance from all aspects.
These are the scariest places.
Hearing this, Gu Ningya was a little silent. He usually smiled playfully, but at this time, he really didn't know what to say.
"In the year of Jin, the Ministry of Household Affairs reported that the grain storage in Daxia has reached 30 million and 38 million shi of grain."
"Such a large amount of food should be able to stabilize the food rations of the three major counties, right?"
When it comes to arrests and interrogations, Gu Ningya is one of the top three in Daxia. But when it comes to this kind of economy and settling accounts, Gu Ningya has a big head and doesn't know what is right or wrong.
"Not necessarily enough."
Gu Jinnian shook his head. Hearing this number, he felt slightly reassured. At least he could withstand it in the early stage.
"Isn't this much enough?"
"Ten million shi of grain. If this grain is used for war, if nothing else, it will be enough for a million troops to fight for how long. Do you know?"
"Save some food, it will last for decades."
Gu Ningya was really speechless.
The grain reserves of the whole country in Daxia are not enough? These grain reserves will be used for war. It is not an exaggeration to say that one million people will be fed for thirty to fifty years.
After all, a soldier's daily ration, if you count one pound of rice, ten thousand shi is equivalent to 1.2 million pounds of grain, which is more than enough for thirty years.
Now it’s not enough? How can we not let Gu Ningya learn the truth?
"Longxi County has a population of 24 million, and the number of people affected by the disaster is at least tens of millions. Counting a certain amount of surplus grain, plus silver for purchases, there are at least 5 million people who need to be supported by the court."
"In addition, with an army of 500,000, and the prince mobilizing the people to contribute, he does not ask for a salary, but at least he has to take care of two meals, right?"
"After calculation, there are tens of millions of mouths waiting for food, and it is definitely only a lot more. Uncle Liu, think about it. With such turmoil, most of the people are homeless and have no income. Naturally, they are willing to help the imperial court and have a good time.
Food and clothing.”
"A person can eat half a catty of rations a day, which is five million catties of rations a day. If Longxi County wants to completely complete the rescue, even if everyone is united, it will take three months, right?"
"This is 450 million catties of rations and 3.7 million shi of grain."
"This is calculated based on the lowest situation. Disaster relief is absolutely impossible to kill. There are definitely various variables. Three months is the best idea, and half a year is normal. In other words, at least 10 million shi of grain transportation is needed.
Only by going to Longxi County can the situation be stabilized."
"How much does it cost to transport tens of millions of kilo of grain?"
"It's okay if it's close, but if it's far away, if 10,000 shi of grain is transported to Longxi County, it's a good thing to have 1,000 shi left."
"What is the labor cost required for this?"
"The comprehensive cost of transporting tens of millions of shi of grain is at least around 30 to 50 million shi of grain."
Gu Jinnian made the simplest conversion method.
Transportation costs, labor costs, and time costs, just these three points, any one of them is actually more than the 10 million stones of food for direct disaster relief.
If grain can be transported directly to Longxi County without any cost, then the problem in Longxi County can be solved directly.
As long as there is enough food, Daxia will send soldiers there to maintain order, boost morale, and mobilize the people. Everyone will work together and come from various places to help, and the problem will be solved within half a year.
Will the court still have a headache?
It is because the cost to all parties is too high. Daxia only has this grain. If grain is transported to Longxi County regardless of cost, what should we do in the other disaster areas?
"Even if it's 50 million dan of grain, wouldn't it be great if it can solve the problem?"
Although Gu Ningya was shocked by these figures, he still couldn't help but speak out.
Just because ten million and thirty-eight million stones of grain is a larger number.
But inside the jade chariot, Gu Jinnian sighed, looked at his sixth uncle and said.
"uncle."
"Do you really not understand, or are you just pretending to be stupid?"
Gu Jinnian was a little helpless.
Upon hearing this, Gu Ningya frowned at first, but soon he realized something, and then he couldn't help but lower his voice.
"You mean."
"Daxia doesn't have so much food in stock?"
Gu Ningya probably understood what Gu Jinnian meant.
"Ten million and thirty-eight million stones of grain. This is a bill from the Ministry of Revenue, not the actual situation. Believe it or not, if you really ask the Ministry of Revenue to transport it, you will definitely find that there is not a single grain of rice in the official warehouses in some places."
Gu Jinnian spoke up. As the sky is high and the emperor is far away, it is easier to say that it is closer to Kyoto. If it is thousands of miles away, what will the grain stored in the official warehouse be used for?
No one would think that there would be a disaster, right?
Just like the Jiangnan area, it is extremely fertile. Do you think there will be trouble in this place?
Severe drought? Just buy a rain charm.
Flood? Sorry, the fertile fields are not near the river.
Who would think about this?
And the grain in the official warehouse is very valuable. It doesn’t matter how much it is. Can you sell it with a tenth of it?
This is millions of taels of silver, and it is eaten by middle- and lower-level officials, because higher-level officials will not be interested in granaries.
If something happens later, wouldn't it be enough to just buy it with money and fill it in?
Then after three or five years, I realized, hey, it’s okay.
What should I do if I am short of money again?
Continue to sell?
Starve the coward to death, starve the bold to death.
Anyway, selling one-tenth is a capital crime, and selling out is also a capital crime. At least I am free and unrestrained, happy, wealthy, and happy in life.
This is a comfort to my heart. When I am really found out, will I cry and complain again? Is it useful? The answer is useless.
For the court, is it useful to kill him? It is useless.
Who is the unlucky one?
Common people.
That's the truth.
Therefore, in Gu Jinnian's eyes, he was thankful for half of the ten and thirty-eight million stones of grain.
"If something like this really happens, I'm afraid many people's heads will fall off."
Gu Ningya swallowed. As the commander of the Hanging Deng Division, he had seen many corrupt officials. Gu Jinnian's worry was not a fantasy at all. The possibility was very high, no, it was very high.
"Lost your head?"
"Uncle Liu, believe it or not, it's easier to say that those closer to Kyoto are fine, but officials farther away will directly fill the grain with sand, and then lie to the superiors. If they encounter trouble along the way, the grain will be lost, or they will be kidnapped by bandits and snatched away.
food."
Gu Jinnian sneered.
There are policies from above and countermeasures from below. This saying is not empty talk.
"Damn it, such a piece of shit."
"I'm going to write a memorial now and ask your Majesty to chop off all the heads of these people."
"No, don't cut it down, arrest the Xuan Deng Division, and I will make them live and die."
Gu Ningya cursed loudly, making his teeth itch with anger.
"It's no use."
"Killing them will not solve the problem."
"Extraordinary times require extraordinary measures."
"Uncle, you have to take action on this matter."
Gu Jinnian shook his head. He was too lazy to care whether these corrupt officials were dead or not. He had to collect food now, and other things would be settled slowly after the disaster relief was over.
"Say it, uncle, listen."
Gu Ningya was curious as to what method Gu Jinnian would use to solve this hidden danger.
"Immediately ask the Ministry of Revenue to notify various places to transport grain and grass."
"Then arrest a group of people and kill the chickens to scare the monkeys."
"You ask your people to go to various granaries to inspect, but you just tell them the news and be direct. After you go there, officials like this will definitely be afraid, so you ask your people to collect bribes. We will take whatever they give."
"All the money received will be turned over, half will be left to the Hanging Deng Division as funds, and the other half will be given to the court to replenish the treasury."
"Ask your subordinates to tip them off and deliberately delay the situation so that they can buy as much food as they can to make up for it. In this way, no matter how greedy the officials are, they will know that their lives are more important."
"This way at least the food can be delivered."
Gu Jinnian said, he didn't care about the right and wrong, he only cared about one thing, transporting the grain, everything was easy to deal with, liquidation, confiscation of family property, dismissal and demotion, and distribution to the frontier. As long as he didn't do anything too bad, he could save the lives of the whole family.
OK.
At least it's time to make amends.
"This is a good idea."
"This is really a wonderful trick. You said we all have only one brain. Why can you come up with such a method?"
"good."
"Leave this matter to Uncle Six, who will handle it."
Gu Ningya's eyes lit up, Gu Jinnian's plan was really good.
Pretending to tip off information is actually another way to get these officials to fight for it.
After all, when people from the imperial court come, they will die. The law is there, and the imperial court cannot issue decrees. If there are supplements, they will be punished with minor punishments and major warnings.
Once this happens, bad trends will arise. At that time, all officials will go to sell grain. Anyway, if there is a real crisis, in the worst case, just buy it back and you will not die.
As the cost of crime becomes lower, the crime rate becomes higher.
Moreover, this kind of thing is only suitable for extremely serious disasters. If it is an ordinary disaster, for example, just one place in Longxi County is affected, it will not give any chance at all.
If you have to kill, kill.
Only this kind of extremely serious disaster is really a special situation, and it is a secret trick.
To put it bluntly, Gu Jinnian can decide whether to advance or retreat. Life or death depends on Gu Jinnian's words.
This is the political method to solve the problem and leave some room for action.
"The difficulties in Longxi County are difficult with logistics. If we can transport 10 million shi of grain, we can stabilize the situation. All costs can be controlled within 50 million shi of grain."
Gu Jinnian said that he had real dragon rice ears, and he was not afraid even if the official warehouse of Daxia was depleted of grain.
Give yourself two years to ensure that the official granary is full of grain, and even expand the granary.
"If Secretary Xuan Deng had informed us in advance, it would not be difficult to solve the problem, and the difficulties in Longxi County could be settled."
Gu Ningya spoke up and expressed his thoughts.
"Well, Longxi County is still dealing with a natural disaster after all. If we unite as one, come from all directions to help, and have stable food and grass, we will naturally be able to cope with it. The prince can also take advantage of this opportunity to stabilize the throne."
Gu Jinnian spoke up and thought so too.
However, when the title of Crown Prince was mentioned, Gu Ningya's expression couldn't help but change slightly.
"Jinnian, have you already chosen the prince?"
He looked at Gu Jinnian.
It doesn't matter if others mention the word "Crown Prince", but if the Gu family mentions it, there are more or less other elements involved.
After all, the Gu family is too big, especially Gu Jinnian. The entire Gu family is definitely not as good as Gu Jinnian in His Majesty's eyes. Naturally, the Gu family can now choose the emperor.
"Let nature take its course."
"It is a good thing that the prince governs the country with benevolence. The Great Xia Dynasty has gone through the founding war and encountered various wars. It really needs a benevolent king to govern the country and cultivate the country's morality."
"But the struggle for destiny has arisen, and it needs to be fought. The King of Qin is not bad, but the distinction between elder and younger has been a principle since ancient times. My nephew has no intention of getting involved in the dispute over the prince. Let them handle it by themselves when the time comes."
"If Your Majesty chooses the Crown Prince, my nephew will feel at ease assisting the Crown Prince. If Your Majesty chooses the King of Qin, my nephew will feel at ease assisting the King of Qin. That's all."
Gu Jinnian spoke up and expressed his thoughts about the prince.
Whether it is the prince or the king of Qin, each has its own advantages, but the issue of age is ultimately recognized by the world.
In the final analysis, both of them have advantages, but the prince's advantage is greater.
Of course, if the prince really did something wrong or did something bad, Gu Jinnian would not support the prince.
Inside the jade chariot.
Gu Jinnian finally understood.
As long as the prince makes no mistakes, there will be no big problem for the prince to ascend the throne.
"But what if His Majesty insists on asking you?"
"Jinnian, King Qin has a very good relationship with our Gu family. He has been following the old man since he was a child. The old man also said that King Qin is half of his grandson."
"What should you do at this time?"
Gu Ningya continued to ask.
Suddenly, the atmosphere inside the jade chariot became a little solemn.
The King of Qin does have a very good relationship with the Gu family. It can be seen from his daily behavior that the King of Qin really regards Gu Jinnian as a brother. This friendship is here, and it is impossible to say that it has no influence at all.
After all, Gu Ningya actually prefers King Qin.
"Let's talk about it then."
"Let's continue talking about the disaster."
Gu Jinnian didn't want to talk about this topic. At least Emperor Yongsheng was still alive and going strong. There wouldn't be any big problems in ten years, so why worry about the future?
"kindness."
Gu Ningya did not continue to talk about this sensitive topic, but continued to speak.
"A letter from the Ministry of Household Affairs stated that in addition to the basic expenses of Daxia, the extra silver can be used to purchase 50 million shi of grain."
"Considering that large-scale purchases of grain will cause an increase in grain prices, I choose to purchase 10 million tons of grain a month. Is this okay?"
Gu Ningya asked.
"Okay, let the Ministry of Household Affairs cooperate with the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment to inform the people of Daxia that they do not need to sell grain, but they will never allow arbitrary price increases. Food prices will increase and fluctuate. As long as everything is within a reasonable range, everything will be fine. If anyone dares to take this opportunity,
Anyone who is in financial distress to the country will be killed without mercy."
Gu Jinnian nodded and agreed to the Ministry of Revenue's request. Buying 50 million dan of grain in one go would definitely cause huge market fluctuations. Ten million dan a month was considered relatively stable.
The Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Punishment will then work together to suppress the increase in food prices, which can be regarded as stabilizing the public sentiment. Otherwise, if it really skyrockets, the disaster area may not be in chaos, but Daxia will be in chaos first.
"good."
Gu Ningya nodded and recorded it, and they will all be sent back to Kyoto when the time comes.
However, at this moment, a voice sounded from beside the jade chariot.
"Master Hou."
"Lord Commander."
"The cavalry from the rear came to report that the grandson is here and wants to find the Marquis."
"Meet each other?"
As the attendant's voice sounded, in the jade chariot, both Gu Ningya and Gu Jinnian couldn't help but look curious.
Especially Gu Ningya murmured to himself.
"Why is this little bastard here?"
But when the words came out, Gu Ningya immediately shut up.
Li Ji is the great-grandson. If you call him a little bastard, isn't it the same as calling the prince a big bastard and the emperor an old bastard?
Fortunately, these are our own people, otherwise, if these words get out, they will definitely get a beating.
"Let him come."
Gu Jinnian spoke up. Although he didn't know why Li Ji came, Gu Jinnian didn't stop him.
In this way, half a quarter of an hour later, the jade chariot stopped, and soon Li Ji walked in with a smile on his face.
"Uncle Jinnian."
"Uncle Ning Ya."
Walking into the jade chariot, Li Ji looked a little tired. He exhaled and then sat casually on the soft pillow, looking at the two of them with a smile.
Not long after he sat firmly, the jade chariot set off again without any pause.
"Li Ji, why are you here?"
"It's not like the prince left and you sneaked out on your own, right?"
Looking at Li Ji, Gu Ningya became a little curious, and also very nervous whether Li Ji ran out secretly. If he really ran out secretly, it would be troublesome.
"Uncle, why do you look down on others so much?"
"Am I, Li Ji, that kind of person? I am also a grandson after all."
Li Ji was a little depressed. After all, he was already fifteen now, right? He would be sixteen in a few months. Normally speaking, a sixteen-year-old would be an adult.
Why do you say it as if you are a child?
"So what about my great-grandson? Why don't you still go and check the fence?"
Gu Ningya seemed very casual. If he were the prince, he might not be like this. The grandson would just be casual and wait until he becomes emperor in thirty or fifty years.
"Uncle, can we not mention this matter?"
"I heard that my father and uncles all went to fight the disaster. As a great-grandson, I would look useless if I didn't go, so I told my grandpa, and he allowed me to come."
Li Ji spoke up and explained the reason.
Hearing this, Gu Ningya nodded and pondered for a moment, pondering what the emperor meant.
Gu Jinnian probably understands.
I want Li Ji to learn something with me and take a look at the suffering of the people.
This is a good thing.
We are not afraid that the emperor will be ruthless, but we are afraid that the emperor will be soft-hearted, pamper his descendants, and fear that they will suffer hardship.
People like Li Ji should be thrown out and beaten up by society, otherwise they will not be able to become talented.
"OK."
"Since it is His Majesty's will, you should stay with me during this period. Remember not to run around. The disaster area is extremely dangerous. Even if you are a grandson, don't run around. If something happens, I won't be sure.
I can protect you."
Since it was the emperor's wish, Gu Jinnian would not be verbose, but he still had to explain clearly what needed to be explained.
"Don't worry, Uncle Jinnian, I'm very honest."
Li Ji bared his teeth and smiled.
For him, this trip was, firstly, to see the world, and secondly, to leave the palace. He was more playful as a child. As for disaster relief, he might not see any trace of it in such a powerful person.
After all, they don't think that no matter how miserable the people are, they can't suffer any more.
"Uncle Six, let's continue talking."
Gu Jinnian ignored Li Ji and continued to discuss disaster relief with Gu Ningya.
"The fire in Donglin County relies half on the soldiers of Daxia and half on the Immortal Sect. I asked Master Yang Kaiyang of the Ministry of Rites to personally come forward and ask the Immortal Sect to borrow rain talismans. Borrow as many as you can, and then ask the Immortal Sect to help with rain to solve this problem.
matter."
"If the Immortal Sect can take action, the problem of Donglin County is not too difficult. We only need to transport five million stones of grain to Donglin County."
Gu Jinnian spoke up, this was his solution for Donglin County.
Find Xianmen to come forward and solve the fire.
Due to the intensity of the forest fire, the soldiers could only cut down trees in the outer area to create a fire break. However, the fire was so fierce that if there was no time to cut down the fire break in the outer area, big problems would easily occur.
Xianmen takes action to suppress the fire, and Daxia's soldiers can effectively suppress it with high-intensity cooperation.
"good."
Gu Ningya continued to record.
The Donglin County matter can be considered a solution.
"As for Nanyue County, let King Wei immediately evacuate the people, and at the same time ask the Ministry of Industry to build the treasure ship as quickly as possible and transport it to Nanyue County. The snow disaster is not terrible, but the melting snow is terrible."
"And let King Wei investigate clearly. The sudden heavy snowfall in Nanyue County must be abnormal. There may be monsters causing trouble. We must be careful and protect the people first."
"All soldiers, prepare to fight the flood."
"Also transport five million stones of grain to Nanyue County."
In fact, leaving aside the political issues in Jiangzhong County, Nanyue County, in Gu Jinnian's opinion, is the place where the disaster is the most terrifying.
The heavy snow and ice seem to affect only the survival of the people, but what is really scary is the melting snow.
Once the ice and rocks melt and heavy snow accumulates into rivers, it can easily lead to floods.
If a flood occurs, it will be a big trouble. Nanyue County has the main trunk of the Daxia Peng River. If a flood occurs in Nanyue County, all the way down, the trouble caused by that time will be no less than the danger in Jiangzhong County.
Therefore, we must fight against floods in advance and take preventive measures. Floods can be allowed to occur, but they must not affect too many people.
"clear."
Gu Ningya recorded all of this, and Gu Jinnian finally settled the matter in the three major counties.
At that moment, Gu Jinnian also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come here first and wait for the rest."
After he said this, he leaned on the soft pillow and squinted his eyes for a moment, resting for a quarter of an hour before talking.
"Lee Ji."
But with his eyes closed, Gu Jinnian slowly spoke out.
"exist."
"Uncle Jinnian."
Li Ji immediately spoke up and responded.
"Is there anything going on in Kyoto?"
"Is there any news for me?"
When Gu Jinnian spoke, he squinted his eyes and spoke calmly.
"ah"
Hearing this, Li Ji was speechless and didn't know how to answer.
"explain."
Gu Jinnian spoke calmly, but with an aura that could not be refused.
"Well, yes, there is."
"But I just heard about it. I don't know what the specific situation is."
"It seems that some vassal kings have sent memorials to the capital to impeach you for your cruelty and cruelty, massacre of loyal people, and the disaster in Jiangzhong County. They think that Uncle Jinnian is just a child's play. You want to monopolize power for your own selfish desires and rush to make achievements.
Go."
"And the Yushitai also impeached."
"The people from the Daxia Zhu School also jointly submitted a petition and said some unpleasant things."
Li Ji spoke while observing Gu Jinnian's expression. If Gu Jinnian was unhappy, he would stop talking.
However, he found that Gu Jinnian looked very calm, without any disturbance. Although his eyes were closed, his face did not change at all.
"How dare these dogs have the nerve to accuse my eldest nephew?"
"Damn it, every one of them knows how to play devil's advocate and is afraid of causing trouble when they are asked to come up with ideas."
"During such a disaster in Daxia, Jinnian stepped forward. His responsibility alone is a hundred times stronger than these bastards."
"Grandson, when you ascend the throne in the future, you must remember that these scholars are all cunning and cunning. With your wisdom, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight against them. You might as well become a
tyrant."
"If you don't accept it, you will be killed."
"Anyway, after the crown prince ascends the throne, he will definitely govern the country well. You can just sit back and enjoy his achievements, kill some civil servants, and enjoy peace of mind."
When Gu Ningya spoke, he didn't regard Li Ji as an outsider and spoke very directly.
"Uncle Six."
"Don't be stupid."
At this time, Gu Jinnian spoke up and reminded his sixth uncle.
Whether Li Ji can become emperor in the future is one thing, but these words cannot be taught.
If he really becomes a tyrant, who is to blame?
"Uncle, I think what your uncle said is right."
"There are some scholars who have very dark hearts. I know what happened in the past few days. You stood up against all the opinions and stood up for me to set national policies for Daxia, boost the morale of the army, and stabilize the public opinion. What else will such people do besides pouring cold water on you?
"
"On paper, each one is better than the other, but when something happens, I'm afraid of taking the blame."
"If you really want me to become emperor in the future, I will definitely kill this bunch of losers."
Li Ji spoke, and his words were somewhat flattering. It seemed that this boy was really sensible and knew that it would be beneficial to have a good relationship with Gu Jinnian.
Of course, some of it is indeed Li Jiancheng's idea. After all, he is still young and doesn't understand many things, so he likes to use the simplest method to solve conflicts.
"nonsense."
Gu Jinnian opened his eyes and scolded lightly.
"Jier, remember this carefully."
"Emperor, you must know the art of balance, the balance between civil and military affairs. Although these civil servants have complicated minds, they at least take the overall situation into consideration. If these military generals are allowed to govern the country and fight when trouble arises, what dynasty can withstand such abuse?"
"Using other people's strengths to balance other people's shortcomings, and working together with yin and yang, is the way of the emperor. Do you understand?"
Gu Jinnian spoke up and taught the other party seriously.
"oh."
After hearing this, Li Ji just replied "Oh", while Gu Ningya said helplessly.
"Jinnian, what you are saying is too mysterious. I am also confused. Our Gu family is still a bunch of reckless people. Isn't your father just a scholar at best?"
"How did you give birth to a Qilin like you? To be honest, what you just said is exactly the same as that of the civil servants in the court, both in tone and tone."
"Can't we just be more direct? Fuck you."
Gu Ningya is a vulgar martial artist who never leaves his mother without saying a word, which makes people silent.
No self-respect at all.
"Yeah, that's right, fuck him."
Li Ji liked Gu Ningya's way very much and shouted after him, happily.
"Ji'er, after you become emperor, can you make me a Duke? I'll help you suppress those civil servants. If you are unhappy with someone, just tell me and I will help you solve it directly."
"If this guy is powerful, I will deal with him secretly and disappear without a trace. If this guy is not powerful, let's deal with him openly and give him some evidence of his crimes. I won't believe he is a saint. What do you think?"
Gu Ningya looked at Li Ji with a smile on his face.
"Okay, uncle, when I ascend the throne, I will first make you a marquis, and after two years, I will make you a duke."
"If I want to displease anyone, I'll tell you straight, you can just raid their home."
"Don't list any evidence of crime. Just frame it and frame it. I'll find a random treasure for you from the palace. You let the people from the Hanging Deng Department hide it in his house. I'll issue an order on the same day to have a thorough investigation.
"
"Things were lost during the day, caught at noon, and chopped at night. How do you say that?"
Li Ji also became interested and followed Gu Ningya's nonsense with gusto.
"This is a good job. My great-grandson is really wise. If the two of us join forces, we can definitely resolve all right and wrong."
The two of them were talking happily.
Gu Jinnian didn't bother to say anything. These two guys had some problems with their heads. Li Ji was fine. He was young and ignorant, so it didn't matter if he said something nice.
There is no way I, the sixth uncle, can be saved.
However, Gu Jinnian finally understood why his sixth uncle was often whipped. He asked for it and was not unjust at all.
in this way.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
In the jade chariot, Gu Jinnian rested for a while, but the two guys were still chatting.
Moreover, the chat progressed from being a prince to being a duke, then to the struggle for destiny, to unifying the Eastern Wasteland, and finally to conquering the Central Continent Dynasty.
While chatting, the two of them started to quarrel.
"No, grandson, I will help you bring down the Zhongzhou Dynasty. You make me a king with a different surname and give me the Xiongnu Kingdom? Why do I want that thing? You must at least give me the Fuluo Dynasty? You are so stingy.
."
"Isn't the Xiongnu Kingdom good enough? Okay, okay, I'll give you the Fulo Dynasty, so why should I be given the title? The Fulo King doesn't sound very nice."
"It's okay. I'll ask Jinnian to think of a title for me when the time comes. Anyway, the Fuluo Dynasty has to give it to me. I don't want to give it to the Dajin Dynasty. The Fuluo Dynasty will definitely give it to me."
"Okay, but we have to pay tribute every year. Let's say at least 50%. If it's less than 50%, we won't talk about it."
"70%, I'll be generous. I can't ask for that much, so I'll give you 70%, and I'll keep 30% for myself to squander."
"Okay, then from now on you will be the king of the Fuluo Dynasty with a different surname, and Uncle Jinnian will be the king of the Jin Dynasty with a different surname."
Li Ji's face twisted into a smile as he spoke.
It can be said to be a live version of Debate Day.
Call!
The law!
However, just as the two were preparing to discuss how to effectively control the territory of Central Continent and assimilate the people of Central Continent.
The jade chariot stopped suddenly.
Suddenly, the sound of drawing a sword was heard, accompanied by several loud shouts.
"In the Great Xia Dynasty, Marquis Yuchaan is here. Are you and others in front?"
There was a loud shout.
Gu Ningya and Li Ji immediately shut up.
Gu Jinnian frowned and walked out of the jade chariot.
After opening the curtain and walking out of the jade chariot, a sense of desolation and vicissitudes suddenly hit me. Surrounded by high loess slopes, brown is the main tone here. The land is cracked, the yellow sand is rolling, and there is no breeze in the scorching sun, making people's hearts restless.
.
Not far away, there was a dense crowd of nearly ten thousand people, each dragging their families, carrying luggage, and looking miserable.
"Master."
"We are all members of Xianjin Mansion in Jiangzhong County. We plan to go to Furukawa County to join our relatives. We have disturbed the official. Please forgive me."
Some people bent down and saluted the cavalry soldiers.
These people had dark skin, squinted eyes, a light layer of grease on their faces, and beads of sweat all around their necks, and were walking in the scorching sun.
"Master Hou."
"There are a large number of refugees ahead, probably trying to escape."
The attendant came and stood under the jade chariot and told Gu Jinnian what happened.
"knew."
Gu Jinnian nodded, and then walked down from the jade chariot. He walked quickly and came directly to the group of refugees.
Seeing Gu Jinnian appear, all the refugees couldn't help but look surprised in their eyes.
After all, Gu Jinnian was wearing a marquis robe, and with his extraordinary appearance and majestic equipment, he was naturally awe-inspiring to these rural people.
"Uncle, why are so many people going to visit relatives?"
"There is a drought in Jiangzhong County. Hasn't the court already started allocating funds to transport grain?"
"If we count the days, food should have been delivered to Jiangzhong County. If nothing else happens, food should be distributed."
"The journey from Xianjin Mansion to Furuchuan County is 950 miles. This road is deserted and there are also jackals, tigers and leopards. Aren't you worried about something happening?"
Gu Jinnian cupped his hands towards the other party, without any airs and speaking extremely gently, and asked the other party.
Five days ago, Gu Jinnian asked the Ministry of Revenue to urgently transport food there, directly using dragon boats.
Although it is a drop in the bucket, at least the food can be transported, giving the people reassurance.
There was just a severe drought in Jiangzhong County, not a flood or fire. The people had some surplus food in their homes. Once the food from the court arrived, everyone would share a little bit, even if it was just half a day's ration.
You wouldn’t take such a big risk and walk more than 900 miles to escape, right?
"Return to my lord."
"Grass people."
The latter was a little afraid to speak. After all, he didn't know Gu Jinnian's background, so it was hard to say many things.
"Uncle, this is Gu Jinnian, the Marquis of Great Xia. Your Majesty has sent the Marquis to come to Jiangzhong County for disaster relief."
"If you have any unspeakable secrets, you can tell the Marquis directly."
"Master Hou will definitely be able to uphold justice for everyone."
The attendant spoke to appease the other person's heart.
When everyone heard the name Gu Jinnian, they were even more surprised.
They don't know Tianminghou.
But they had really heard of the name Gu Jinnian.
"Are you Gu Jinnian? Gu Shengren?"
"Is it Gu Shengren?"
"What? Gu Jinnian, Gu Shengren is here?"
Suddenly, various voices sounded, and the people called Gu Jinnian a saint, which was a very high honor.
But Gu Jinnian did not feel complacent because of these titles. Instead, he spoke in a gentler tone.
"Uncle, fellow villagers and elders, the imperial court has allocated funds for disaster relief, and the food should have been sent here long ago."
"You have something to hide, but it doesn't matter. I will definitely uphold justice for everyone."
Gu Jinnian spoke up with a determined expression.
That’s it for now.
The common people couldn't sit still anymore. They knelt down one by one and said with mournful faces.
"Saint."
"You must uphold justice for us common people."
"Where did these Jiangzhong County officials distribute food?"
"Not only did they not distribute food, they also took away food from us poor people."
"It's about concentrating food and distributing it uniformly."
"This severe drought has just arrived. Every household had some surplus grain, but now the grain has been confiscated and some people have already died of starvation."
"We are also forced to have no choice, saint. If we are not desperate, who would be willing to leave our hometown."
"My youngest son disappeared on the way to escape, and his life and death are uncertain. Please sir, please uphold justice for me and other people."
When the old man said this, he burst into tears, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed repeatedly.
When the other people heard this, they also told their own situation, and suddenly they burst into tears.
this moment.
Gu Jinnian also fell silent.
He didn't expect that at this juncture, the imperial court would do this.
There are actually officials who dare to do this.
Is this really too long-lived?——
