Inside the government office, there was a sudden silence.
Although I don't believe that a high-ranking governor can be selected based on his true talents and practical knowledge.
But at least I still have some thoughts in my heart.
If your opinion can be favored by the governor, you can even serve as a consultant.
Everyone present was an official in charge of various government agencies, and they all had experience in governing one party.
Who is willing to be second to others?
Li Changan is inconspicuous among them, but he is also envied by everyone.
With so many people, he was the only one without an official position, so it was obvious that White Deer Academy was behind the scenes.
Moreover, the Household Department is secretly run by White Deer Academy.
So no matter what Li Changan writes, he will definitely become a member of the Southern Patrol Division.
The key depends on whether it is the principal or the secretary.
Even if it is just a secretary, he is a secretary of the Southern Patrol Division, with a rank starting from the sixth rank. After the chaos in the three southern mansions is resolved, he will definitely be able to move up a step further.
Li Changan knew that he would definitely be chosen, so he didn't think too much about it.
Looking through the files of the three southern prefectures, those shocking death figures were like iron hooks, tugging at his heart.
Since we are going to provide disaster relief, even if we are just talking nonsense and saying nothing, we still have to think of a way for these people.
This is Li Changan's only thought now.
Three Prefectures in the South.
Yunyao, Yangzhai, Wanchuan.
The problems in the three prefectures are different from each other. They are scattered among the lower counties and the projects are even more complicated and complicated.
In the original land of Sanfu, people could still have enough food and clothing, but after major floods, the livelihood of 300 million people was completely destroyed.
Li Changan took the lead in writing three words on the paper, "clothing", "food" and "living".
This is the first problem that people need to solve right now.
Li Changan fell into deep thought, writing down the current predicament of the government on paper from time to time.
“Disaster relief food is insufficient”, “reconstruction progress is too slow”, “banditry is frequent”…
Then he started another line and solemnly wrote a few words, "Future Development Direction."
When you encounter a problem, you need to solve it, but you can’t just look at the immediate problem, but look at the future.
Otherwise, even if the three southern prefectures are restored to their original state this time, if there is another flood in the future, the people will have to pay a heavy price.
Focusing on the future direction and solving current problems is the best strategy.
Li Changan said to the governor next to him, "Please help me find the files of the three prefectures in the past two years on the field clearance, the road and canal repair files, and the farming tax files."
The governor nodded and immediately asked his Yamen servants to look for him.
Soon, three thick files with a total of six volumes were brought over by the government officials.
This movement immediately attracted the attention of other officials.
Seeing that it was Li Changan who did it, they all shook their heads in disdain.
If you have no experience in governing a place, what's the use of pretending now? It's just making people laugh.
There are too many things in the file and they are too complicated.
Li Changan originally wanted to take a look at the general situation of the Sanfu Land to see if he could sort out a suitable development route.
But this kind of thing cannot be found out overnight. It requires on-the-spot investigation. Just looking at the files is not accurate.
Li Changan looked at the questions he had written down.
Continue to extend downward.
Where do clothes come from?
Where does food come from?
Where does the residence come from?
Let’s look at the dilemma of the government again.
If there is not enough food for disaster relief, where else can we find food?
The reconstruction speed is too slow because there are not enough workers.
Banditry occurred frequently, and it was because they could not survive due to hunger and cold that they fell into banditry.
Li Changan kept diverging his thoughts downwards.
Take another look at the "future development direction" written in the last line.
Something is vaguely sprouting in my head.
It is emerging from the depths of memory bit by bit.
Boom!
Li Changan focused his attention on the six words "future development direction"!
"If you want to be rich, you must first build roads...infrastructure construction...post-disaster reconstruction...major projects...solve the people's labor problems..."
Li Changan quickly wrote on a piece of paper,
"Since the land of the Three Prefectures is already devastated, we must not stick to the old ways. Simply restoring the original appearance is not enough to cure the illnesses of the Three Prefectures."
"Because we are based on the long term and combined with the specific conditions of the three prefectures, we will take this opportunity to reorganize the lifeblood of the people in the three prefectures in the south and establish pillar industries."
"Use disaster relief money to build residential buildings, roads and bridges. Now most people in the three prefectures are idle. People can be recruited to participate in the construction and paid with money."
"The bandit disasters in the three prefectures are all caused by hunger, cold, and hardship. They can be recruited and surrendered on the spot, engaged in work, and can also gain money."
"This method can solve the problem of insufficient labor in the government, and can also provide relief for workers and encourage the people to produce."
"All roads and bridges should be re-planned by the Ministry of Industry. Water conservancy and civil engineering matters should not be treated casually, and should be based on fifty years of use."
…
"Additional disaster relief grain is a drop in the bucket, and the rice and noodles purchased by grain merchants should be unified in the name of the government."
"It's just the nature of businessmen to pursue profits. Grain merchants can be allowed to make a certain amount of profits. However, if they forget their loyalty due to profit and make a fortune from disasters, they should be punished!"
“Rice, flour and food are the lifeblood of the people, how can we allow businessmen to profit from them?”
…
Li Changan wrote a lot eloquently.
However, because we don’t know the specific situation of the three southern provinces, we really can’t adapt measures to local conditions, so we can only put forward a general framework temporarily.
After finishing the writing, I signed it in the lower right corner and handed it to the governor on the side.
"Uncle Zhongyong can stay in Fucheng for a few more days." The governor said to Li Chang'an, "Within three days, the Ministry of Household Affairs will finalize the list."
"We will go to the three southern prefectures together then."
"Thank you very much, Governor." Li Changan nodded.
"Uncle Zhongyong is so polite."
…
This meeting was not as lively as expected. Everyone wanted to take this opportunity to achieve success. Who would discuss it with others?
Everyone racked their brains and didn't dare to neglect anything.
The meeting ended,
Zhao Xing took the gathered insights and strategies, returned to the study, and began to read through them one by one.
With so many officials in charge of one party's affairs trying their best to come up with solutions, maybe one or two bright countermeasures can be found.
But soon, Zhao Xing's brows wrinkled.
It just so happened that there was movement in the Thousand Miles Transmission Note,
It was Lord Liu, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs who was far away in the capital.
Zhao Xing reluctantly reported, "Master Liu, it's really not a complaint from a lower official."
"Obviously it's just a matter of opinions and countermeasures, but it has to be quoted from scriptures. I wish I could give up only if every sentence has its source."
"With so much time spent on this, I really can't think of anything that can actually help the three southern prefectures."
The voice of Liu Yuanwailang came, "The situation in other prefectures is not much different, but occasionally there are one or two outstanding people, so we must carefully screen them."
"Has Li Changan gone?"
Zhao Xing focused on the paper in front of him, "Here he is, sitting in the corner from beginning to end. I see that he also wrote a lot."
"I just hope it won't be an article showing off my poetic talent."
Liu Chengen warned, "Just come here. Do you expect him to have any amazing insights? Just give him a clerkship."
"As for other matters, we must treat them strictly, have better countermeasures and insights, and report them in a timely manner."
"yes."
Zhao Xing put down the Thousand Miles Communication Talisman, opened one again, took a look at the content on it, shook his head and sneered,
"Talk about the ways of saints, educate the bandits, appease the victims, and distribute more disaster relief funds..."
"Is your mind full of shit? The books have gone into the dog's belly."
Zhao Xing tore it into pieces and threw it aside. He looked at the next picture and was almost amused.
"Suppress with force, kill one to serve as a warning to others..."
"If this is really the case, why would we need a southern patrol? It would be better to just send a large army southward and kill all 300 million people, so as to avoid future troubles forever."
Not long after, another head of the household department came in and looked at the torn papers on the ground, "What? Did you see any countermeasures?"
Zhao Xing gave half of it to him and said with a helpless smile, "You'll know just by looking at it."
"Not to mention those who just got kicked in the head by a donkey."
"Just saying that he has some brains, he's pretty average and unremarkable."
"This one said that the problem needs to be solved county by county... It will probably take three to five years until he finishes solving it."
Another director smiled and said, "This is also very interesting. It is said that as long as the three southern prefectures are restored to their original state, the problem can be solved."
"He believes that since the three southern prefectures can be maintained in the past, they should be restored to their original state to avoid changing too much and causing a greater disaster."
Zhao Xing shook his head, "This can only be a last resort."
"You and I both know that the three southern mansions in the past were barely able to survive."
"This flood is the last straw that completely breaks down these three houses. That's why the luck has dropped so drastically..."
As he spoke, Zhao Xing suddenly lost his voice, and all his attention was attracted by the piece of paper in front of him.
"What's wrong?" Another supervisor asked in surprise.
Zhao Xing did not answer, but looked at the insights and countermeasures above with relish.
"Target the people's lifeblood? Establish pillar industries? What are pillar industries?"
“What a construction project to provide relief work!”
…
Zhao Xing tightly grasped the countermeasures and insights in his hand, as if he had seen some peerless treasure, his eyes were shining.
"This person does have great talents in governing the world. Although he only proposed general directions, he was able to solve the most urgent dilemma at the moment!"
Another supervisor also came over and asked, "Who can get your evaluation from Zhao Hei Lian?"
"I want to see who this person is."
The two quickly looked at the signature on the lower right.
The next moment, both of them were stunned on the spot.
