Volume B, Section One Hundred and Twenty Eight, Fluttering in the Wind
"What Mr. Qi said is true. The Ministry of Household Affairs must immediately coordinate with Shuntianfu, Wanping, and Daxing Counties to prepare for disaster relief. Once the rain slows down, it will be done. In addition, the prevention of the epidemic is the top priority. Seriously, Shuntian Prefecture, Wanping County, and Daxing County must go all out, and the Taiyuan Hospital must also give full support. As for the refugees outside the capital, the prefectures in Northern Zhili can be ordered to take strict precautions and prohibit refugees from entering Beijing... "
It's fair to say, but there isn't much real substance. Emperor Yonglong also knows Shen Yiguang's thoughts. If he comes forward rashly now and breaks the original balance, it will cause unnecessary trouble and criticism. A chief assistant who is not trusted by the emperor is inherently short-term. If you lose one foot, it will be even more difficult to get support from below.
Forget it, didn't he also have this idea? Take a look, endure it, and delay it. Emperor Yonglong sneered at himself. How could he have the right to laugh at Shen Yiguan?
Thinking of this, Emperor Yonglong was also a little depressed, but he quickly cheered up. I am the emperor, and the current predicament is just a temporary disturbance. As long as...
After calming down his mind, Emperor Yonglong was still a little reluctant.
This lifeless situation has lasted for two full years. The excitement and joy he felt after he ascended the throne were all wiped out by this endless wrangling and prevarication, but he still had to endure it.
However, the appearance of Qi Yongtai still made him feel a ray of breeze blowing into this oppressive cage, and also gave him a glimmer of hope.
Perhaps it is this constant accumulation and change that allows such courtiers to appear one after another in the court, making this kind of change add up and become bigger. Today there is Qi Yongtai, and tomorrow there may not be Lu Yongtai. , Qin Yongtai may not be able to come in the future, after all, this court must be controlled by himself.
"Qi Qing, do you have any other good suggestions?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I have something to say." When Qi Yongtai saw Emperor Yonglong asking about him, he hesitated for a while and then stood up.
"Oh? Just say it, sir." Emperor Yonglong didn't know what other tricks Qi Yongtai had and was quite curious.
"In addition to submitting a proposal to propose suggestions, Qingtan Academy also has a proposal for some measures to prevent the epidemic in the capital city after the disaster, which may also involve the livelihood issues of tens of thousands of people who have lost their homes from this autumn to next spring. I have read it. In this article, in addition to providing relief, perhaps the court can adopt feasible strategies to solve the livelihood problems of some disaster victims, and at the same time prevent these victims from being used by monsters..."
Emperor Yonglong laughed.
This Qi Yongtai is not as selfless as he imagined. He still has some selfish motives, but this is normal.
The most important thing for such a scholar and civil servant is his own reputation. After he came back from Qingtan Academy, he would naturally want to advocate for the reputation of Qingtan Academy. If not, he would really doubt whether Qi Yongtai had other thoughts.
"Did Qi Qing come up with this feasible strategy?" Emperor Yonglong laughed and said, "You should not avoid relatives when promoting talents. Qi Qing actually doesn't have to do this. Although Qi Qing has served as the mountain chief at Qingtan Academy, it is normal. Isn’t Chongzheng Academy initiated by Fang Qing? Does it mean that Fang Qing needs to avoid suspicion for those who have passed the Chongzheng Academy examinations and become officials in the past ten years? What’s more, everything in Qingtan Academy from last year to this year was all planned by the imperial court. I am so moved, if all the scholars in my country in the Great Zhou Dynasty work so hard to do things for the country, what can't they do?"
"Thank you for your majesty's praise. I would like to express my gratitude to Qingtan Academy on this occasion."
When Emperor Yonglong said this, Qi Yongtai quickly stepped out of the queue and bowed deeply before sending the strategy up.
"This was written by Feng Ziying, a student of Qingtan Academy, Lian Guoshi and other seven people under the guidance of Guan Yingzhen and Zhou Yongchun. It is called "Epidemic Prevention Preparations". It is a little rough, but it is just suitable for the current use after the disaster in the capital city. I
I think other prefectures in Northern Zhili can also refer to it."
Naturally, a chamberlain sent the memorandum. Emperor Yonglong's eyes fell on this memorandum. After reading it carefully, he felt that it was concise and comprehensive, and clearly organized. Every link and step was to the point, without any ambiguity.
It is only a few thousand words long, but it clearly outlines a post-disaster response plan.
This is not even an "Epidemic Prevention Preparedness" at all, but an outline of a post-disaster response strategy!
Closing it gently, Emperor Yonglong closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly and opened it again. The first name of the writer was Feng Keng, um, Feng Ziying. Emperor Yonglong still knew his name and surname.
Then came the practice of state affairs. This was a descendant of the Guide training family in Henan. Emperor Yonglong had also heard about it. The third one was an unfamiliar name. It was not Han Jing, not Xu Xie, but Song Tongyin, Fang Zhenru, and then
It's Fan Jingwen, He Fengsheng and Chen Qiyu.
Except for Feng Ziying and Lian Guoshi, Emperor Yonglong was not familiar with the others, but he roughly remembered these names, and I am afraid they are also popular candidates for Qingtan Academy next spring.
It was nothing more than practicing state affairs, Emperor Yonglong had heard about it for a long time, but Emperor Yonglong had heard about Feng Ziying no less than ten times in the past two years, which even made him a little curious.
This father-in-law relied on the support of his martial arts to sit on the throne. Although the power of martial arts has rapidly declined in the past few decades and been replaced by the rapidly expanding civil servants, and has even become a major threat to his throne, Emperor Yonglong still has
These individuals in Wuxun Group are quite familiar with them.
There are no outstanding candidates among the martial arts of this generation, or even the previous generation. Wang Ziteng is considered the best among them, and except for Wang Ziteng and Shui Rong, there are almost no people who are eye-catching. As for Niu Jizong and Liu
Emperor Yonglong knew very well that Fang and his ilk were just second-rate characters who were strong on the outside and incompetent on the inside, so they were nothing to worry about.
This Feng Ziying was born in the martial arts, which is really incredible. Now she has become the proud disciple of these scholars, which has completely subverted the views of countless people before.
"Well, I will keep this strategy for now." Emperor Yonglong finally nodded, "What Shen Qing said earlier must be implemented as soon as possible..."
*******
The rain finally stopped, and the sun finally broke through the dark sky, bringing a gleam of light to the capital city that was stuck in the mud.
But the real disaster relief has just begun, and epidemic prevention is the highlight.
However, Feng Ziying knew very well that this could not be solved by just relying on a few hundred students. Now she could do almost all the work that could be done to earn a reputation through pretentiousness.
The victims were placed in various temples and Taoist temples, registered one by one, and then handed over to the head of each house.
Strong laborers were organized and began to clean up the collapsed ruins and blocked ditches, and the porridge relief points began to operate.
At the gathering place, the patrol battalion began to set up checkpoints as recommended to prevent anyone from spreading rumors and incitement. The Fifth Military Camp and the Shenshu Camp were also stationed at several gates to prevent people affected by the disaster from other prefectures in Northern Zhili from infiltrating into the capital city.
Propaganda has also started, and various explanatory trainings have been distributed to various offices, including some officials from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Patrol Battalion. They have also received some simple training. Whether it will be useful will have to wait until practice.
Just known.
Looking at the young men who were staggering from exhaustion, the eyes of Guan Yingzhen and Zhou Yongchun, who had also lost weight, were full of satisfaction and relief.
This group of students finally fulfilled the purpose of uniting knowledge and action and caring about family affairs, national affairs, and everything in the world. They truly saved the people from water and fire, relieved the people from hanging upside down, established their hearts for the world, and established their lives for the people.
Although the delay of more than ten days will inevitably have some impact on the Autumn Palace Competition, when the academy decided to enter the city for disaster relief, no matter it was the West Garden or the East Garden, whether it was House A or House B, not a single student expressed dissatisfaction.
and unwillingness.
In addition to the few guardians who were forcibly left behind, more than ninety students from Qingtan Academy came out in full force, which also caused great repercussions in the court.
Led by Qingtan Academy, Chongzheng Academy, Tonghui Academy and Diecui Academy also mobilized one after another. However, in terms of enthusiasm and motivation, these academies cannot compete with Qingtan Academy. As for organization, mobilization and real team formation,
The behavior is even more incomparable.
Even Yang Sichang and the Hou brothers had to admit that Qingtan Academy was far better than other academies in terms of discipline and unity when talking to Feng Ziying.
In contrast, the Imperial College, which had no performance, became the target of criticism.
"Chief of the Mountain, Head of the Courtyard, Mingyufang here has been counted and compiled, and handed over to the Wucheng Military and Horse Division." Feng Ziying put one hand on Fang Youdu's shoulder and the other on his forehead, "My eyes are a little bit
I can't open my eyes, I really want to take a nap."
"Go to bed quickly, everyone, go to bed quickly. We will sleep here temporarily tonight. After the handover is completed tomorrow, we will go back to school. After a day of rest, we will officially resume studying the next day!" Guan Yingzhen's words were full of nasal sounds.
, even a little choked up.
Of the ninety-three students, no one fell behind, no one was lagging behind, and every one of them completed various tasks conscientiously and outstandingly.
Two of them were attacked by a group of rioters who attempted to snatch the cage cakes they were going to distribute to children among the victims, causing two injuries.
But no one backed down.
Zhou Yongchun also had some feelings. He had not been in Qingtan Academy for a long time, but during this round of disaster relief, he deeply felt the high-spirited enthusiasm of Qingtan Academy's vigorous and enterprising spirit.
Before, he thought that maybe the outside world had exaggerated the moral standards of Qingtan Academy, but now it seems that this spirit and the condensed spirit are even better than he imagined.
With such a vibrant and high-spirited academy, and such a group of passionate and enthusiastic students, why can't the academy become a banner of the Great Zhou Dynasty? What can stop the students from becoming the pillars of the Great Zhou Dynasty in the future?
Thinking of this, Zhou Yongchun felt more and more that he needed to better integrate into such a large group and become one of them, even their leader.
The future Dazhou must belong to such a group. At the very least, this group will occupy an important position in Dazhou, and Feng Ziying should be his best helper in this process.
