Chapter 1410 Something to play
Late spring and early summer is the time of year when there is abundant rainfall.
For the field, the rain from the sky ensures that the seedlings can grow vigorously. The common people will look forward to another good year with good weather and good weather when they watch the crops gradually heading in the field.Relying on the sky to eat is the daily life of the common people. Obviously, this year, God is giving face...
However, for big rivers, abundant rain means that the water level will continue to rise, that the long embankment will withstand the test of floods, and that the officials of the prefectures and counties along the river will die because of the collapse of the embankment. head...
The Shanzhou section of the Yellow River broke its embankment, affecting two prefectures and five counties, and the affected population has exceeded 20!
An urgent report threw the peaceful and peaceful court into chaos and the atmosphere was tense.
Since ancient times, there is no perfect way to prevent such natural disasters, and even the emergency response after the disaster is the same-rescue is unnecessary, the water and fire are ruthless, and the traffic is lagging behind. Can wait for the next disaster to strike...
The only role the imperial government can do is to rebuild after the disaster.
However, in this era of lack of supplies, poor transportation, backward medical care, and natural disasters such as floods in one place, the people flee from the merchants and flee far away, leaving ten houses empty, and the so-called reconstruction is just a formality.
People are gone, so why rebuild?
Anyway, the majestic China has a vast land and rich resources, no matter where you flee, you will always have a place to grow food, eat, and thrive...
The court meeting was held in the Taiji Hall on time, and as long as officials from all ministries of the court were present, the main topic was disaster relief.Although the so-called disaster relief is just a formality, it is also a necessary process to distribute food relief and appease the victims.
It's just that these days, any big rain or slight earthquake can cause a disaster. Over time, if it is not a natural disaster with far-reaching implications and a really large scale, it is really difficult to cheer up these central officials.
Even His Majesty Li Er, who was sitting on the throne, was indifferent. He successively ordered an imperial envoy to go to Shanzhou to appease the people. He also ordered the household department to squeeze out some money and silk, and opened a warehouse in Changping warehouse in Shanzhou to release food for disaster relief. , that's about it.
Above the main hall, the atmosphere was dull.
His Majesty Li Er looked around and nodded to Wang De who was standing beside him.
Wang De then shouted in a high-pitched voice: "If there is something to do, let's go back to court..."
Generally speaking, this sentence will be shouted twice every time the court meets. The first time is at the beginning, just like the phrase "the meeting is now" in later generations. The second time is when the court meeting is over, and this sentence is shouted out, which basically means that the court meeting is over, and the discussion has been completed.
To sum it up - this sentence is actually no different from nonsense...
The ministers straightened up from the cushions, shook their official robes, and were about to stand up and send His Majesty the emperor to end this morning court.
Lu Guogong Cheng Yaojin even whispered to Guo Guogong Zhang Shigui beside him: "Yesterday, the old department sent two black muntjacs from Wanling. The meat is tender and they are really the best among beasts. Come to the mansion tomorrow and let them The cook has been rectified, and the brothers have a good meal."
Zhang Shigui nodded repeatedly, caught a glimpse of Fang Jun in the formation of civil servants opposite him, and said in a low voice: "It is said that Fang Er is a gluttonous generation, and he is very good at cooking ingredients. You might as well call him up and ask him to clean up the black muntjac." My son, don't waste your money."
Cheng Yaojin glanced at Zhang Shigui, the two looked at each other slightly, then nodded and said: "It's exactly what I want..."
Before the words were finished, the two saw Fang Jun on the opposite side coming out of the crowd, standing in the hall, and said loudly: "I have something to play."
The rustling in the main hall caused by the rising of the officials stopped suddenly, and they all raised their heads and looked at Fang Jun in surprise, each of them was full of doubts.
The scandal between Fang Jun and Princess Changle was widely spread, but most people knew the truth behind it, so almost no one was optimistic that Fang Jun could continue to stay in Chang'an.It is one aspect that harming the reputation of Princess Changle will inevitably make His Majesty furious, and His Majesty's vacillating heart can't be hidden from these elite ministers. No matter how you look at it, Fang Jun's relegation from Beijing is almost the lightest thing punishment.
However, for several days in a row, His Majesty did not make a statement on this matter. In the view of the ministers, His Majesty's hesitation must be because he could not bear to refute Fang Xuanling's face, and wanted to ease it up, and find an appropriate time to demote Fang Jun. Beijing.
In fact, this can be regarded as an opportunity to make amends, who knows if His Majesty will change his mind tomorrow and give up his desire to store up again?
Under such circumstances, what Fang Jun should do most is to avoid His Majesty's sight honestly, behave himself in a law-abiding manner, would rather not do anything than do wrong things, and give His Majesty the grounds for reprimanding for nothing.
So at this moment, Fang Jun's performance at the last moment of the court meeting was really unexpected...
His Majesty Li Er who was on the throne was also slightly taken aback, his face was cloudy and uncertain, and he said calmly: "What's the matter, please play it quickly."
The officials just got up and sat back together.
Fang Jun stood solemnly in the hall, and said loudly: "Here!"
Then, he said with great enthusiasm: "The Yellow River burst in Shanzhou, destroying countless good fields, thousands of houses, more than [-] dead, and countless homeless people. However, when you sit on the temple, you also Just open warehouses to release grain and donate money and silk. Has there been any prevention and treatment for the disabled and diseases of the people? A mere amount of money and silk can last for a few days. , but how should those who survived be resettled? Tens of thousands of victims were homeless and forced to become refugees. Is there a way to resettle? Your Majesty, since ancient times, the people have not suffered from scarcity but from inequality. Compared with the people who live and work in peace and contentment, these displaced people are the source of disasters. This year’s floods have created some disaster victims, and next year’s drought will bring some disaster victims... If things go on like this, over time, these victims who are struggling to survive will become antholes on the cornerstone of the empire. It seems inconspicuous, but once the tide surges, it can destroy the solid foundation once and cause the empire's hegemony to collapse. !Your Majesty, you must investigate, let alone let it go."
Changsun Wuji frowned, and looked at Fang Jun who was standing in the hall in a little surprise, thinking about Fang Jun's intention in his heart.
Gao Shilian's face remained calm, he just turned his head slightly and glanced behind him.
Then someone stood up and retorted loudly: "Fang Shilang's words are wrong! The Yellow River burst in Shanzhou, and the people were severely affected. Not only His Majesty was distraught, but our courtiers were also very anxious, but the flood is a natural disaster. It came, then swept away, and went eastward. Even if there is a large-scale rescue at this time, how many people can be saved? What's more, in order to save a few people in the district, it is necessary to organize and coordinate all levels of government to allocate food, fodder, money and silk. It’s not worth the candle.”
This is the reason why rescue is often ineffective after natural disasters.
It's not that I don't want to save people, but it's because of the difficulties of communication and transportation, and organizing a large number of manpower and material resources often can't save a few people, which is indeed not worth the candle.
Fang Jun glanced at it and saw that it was a common man who came to help others, so he said: "Forgive me, I don't agree with you...Whether you can save it or not is one problem, but whether you can save it or not is another problem. The court has never Asking for disaster relief, just asking for disaster relief, but have you ever thought about how those people whose lives are hanging by a thread in the midst of disasters pray for the disaster relief personnel of the imperial court to appear and lend a helping hand when they are destroyed?"
This is a political issue.
In fact, not only Fang Jun understands this truth, but everyone here understands it.
Laiji sneered: "Could it be possible that Fang Shilang treats everyone in the hall as a vegetarian meal? Everyone understands this truth, but whether it can be done is another matter. For example, in Shanzhou, how many people can the local government have? It is impossible to dispatch a large number of people to rescue those who cannot escape in the great flood. Fang Shilang's literary talent is unparalleled in the world. It is difficult to say that he also learned that famous officials in the Wei and Jin Dynasties advocated clear talk The strength of metaphysics? Hehe, you can talk about everything, but you have to do things one by one, and if you can say it but you can’t do it, it will be of no benefit to the country, and it will only increase your laughter."
Speaking of this, there were a few sneers in the hall...
Laiji was also born in a powerful family. His ancestors can be traced back to She, the famous future of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He made great achievements with Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu and made outstanding achievements.His father, Laihuer, was a famous general in the Sui Dynasty. He served as General Zuo Xiaowei, General Zuo Yiwei, Doctor Guanglu, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, etc., and was granted the title of Duke Rong.Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo three times, and his naval forces were all commanded by Lai Huer, who was kind and courteous, and his courtiers were incomparable.
Laiji itself has a profound background, and in addition to joining the Guanlong Group early, willing to be the minion of Changsun Wuji, there are quite a lot of supporters among the courtiers.
Although there are many people who agree with Laiji, there are also those who know Fang Jun's ability and don't think that Fang Jun is talking nonsense. This fellow is certainly a stick, but it is definitely not that people like Laiji can easily slap in the face, so they all want to see Let's see what Fang Jun is planning.
Sure enough, Fang Jun smirked, with a look of disdain on his face: "Squirrels are short-sighted, how dare they talk about state affairs?"
Laiji suddenly blushed...
