019 Disaster Relief

Just after this year's small heat, when a bigger heat wave swept in, the southwest of Qin ushered in a once-in-a-century drought. The fields were desolate and there was no harvest. A large number of disaster victims rushed to the east. A large amount of money was allocated to the disaster relief area, but the results were unsatisfactory. Several of the affected states and counties were even frequently food grabbing incidents. If it continued like this, there would be signs of rebellion, and the government and the opposition were panicked for a while.

" More than 70,000 people in the disaster victims of the two counties of Xiangyang Guangshou flooded into Tangchuan, and the river guard Ye Changying rushed to ask for help. More than 100,000 people in the three counties of Huida Wudi in the west of the Ming Dynasty are now fleeing in the direction of Yanning Liuxiang. Both places belong to small counties. It is difficult to accommodate and settle such a huge disaster victims. Qin Xizhi patrol Chen Da dares not open the city to let them in. Inside, 500 miles of urgent order, please send troops to the court to suppress, or place them separately outside the city..."

"Spent troops to suppress! It's really good that he thought of it." Qin Mofeng snorted angrily and interrupted His Highness's words.

The Duke of Protector said, "Your Majesty, Chen Xunfu's move is also a helpless best strategy. No state or county dares to take over such a huge number of disaster victims. Imagine how many incalculable events will happen when tens of thousands of hungry people enter the city? Aren't the people in the city frightened?

Qin Mofeng said angrily, "Did the court send a few funds for disaster relief to feed their troops? Tens of thousands of disaster victims are waiting to be fed. How can they be turned away?

"Your Majesty is angry. It's not that you don't accept it, but that you don't dare."

"What the Protector said is extremely true, Your Majesty, these disaster victims are the most difficult to appease. Thinking that when there was a flood in Qinnan, I was ordered to go south to the disaster relief. That scene is unforgettable... The hungry disaster victims like that can't be under control at all. Although the disaster relief in the court is huge, it is still difficult to fill the mouths and stomachs of these many people. These people get together, basically If you have nothing to produce, you just wait for the food distributed by the officials every day. The rest of the time is fighting, which is countless..."

"Yes, I have seen such a thing before, so the victims can never enter the city. It's better to open up another place outside the city and let them produce and farm by themselves. It's better to give them seeds than to give them food."

"Lord Zhang's words are not good. What you are talking about is about the future. At present, the disaster victims are starving to death. What kind of strength do they use to farm?

"If hundreds of thousands of disaster victims are waiting for the relief of the court, not to mention our Qin Dynasty, it is impossible to do it even if we gather the strength of the four countries!"

"If you can't do it, you have to do it! Our Daqin is the first of the four countries and a rich place in the world. Do you want to watch the disaster victims starve to death and the corpses all over the wild?"

"Well, Lord Liu has such a big tone. If you really think about Qin, you have been promoted to the State of Qin, and your house has also built several places. At this time, the national disaster is at the head. Shouldn't you sell your house into silver to help the court to help the disaster to thank the country's kindness?"

"Hey hey hey."

"You... Well, Liu was just alone when he came to Qin. Now that the country is in trouble, Liu is willing to become a seller to help save the country."

"Brother Liu's words are extremely true. I, Geng Chang, am also willing to visit Brother Liu and sell his homestead. Humph, I just don't know if those so-called hereditary and so-called unshakable fundamentals of the State of Qin also have such determination?

"Childish child, do you mean that I have a great Qin Dynasty. When I am killed in a disaster, I don't even have the ability to save myself? Instead, do you want a group of foreign ministers to sell houses and land? Isn't this a big joke? What's your intention to put Daqin in such an unbearable state?

"You...bloody..."

"Your Majesty has repeatedly reiterated the Qin Chen family. Now you have put the word 'foreign minister' in your mouth. I would like to ask you, where do you put your majesty's golden words?"

"You..."

Seeing that the two ministers had another big quarrel, Qin Mofeng was irritable. At this time, he added fuel to the fire. He suddenly slapped the imperial case and shouted angrily, "Sit!"

Your Highness turned around in shock and had to calm down, but the grievances in each other's eyes were still obvious.

Qin Mofeng took a few breaths to adjust his breath, and then said, "The disaster relief in front of us is the top priority. I decided to send a disaster relief ambassador to the disaster area to appease the refugees in person. You can recommend yourself."

As soon as everyone heard this, their eyes were at the intersection, but they all had the intention of dodging. In the face of tens of thousands of hungry people and countless unpredictable situations, it is life-threatening. This job is not easy to do. Therefore, everyone hung their heads and became selectively deaf.

Qin Mofeng looked around coldly and sneered, "Didn't you argue for Qin just now? What? At the critical moment, it's gone without the usual stingy appearance?" After saying that, he glanced his eyes and was even more angry. He hummed coldly and was about to speak, but he heard the eunuch outside the palace announce, "The national teacher is here!" He was shocked and looked up. When he saw that Bai Shaoqing's white figure had come to the hall, the ministers watched her slowly walk to the front of the hall and only heard her kowtow: "I would like to go to Qinxi for disaster relief."

Qin Mofeng was shocked and couldn't help but want to leave the seat. He finally resisted and frowned and said, "No. In the hot place of Qinxi, a weak woman in the national teacher, how can she go?

"I am the teacher of the Great Qin Dynasty. I failed to predict the famine, and I have lost my duty. I am willing to go west for disaster relief, and I also want to do my best for Daqin and show my loyalty.

Qin Mofeng still shook his head: "No."

Someone said under the steps, "I don't think it's appropriate for the national teacher to go." This man's face is white and short, and it is the queen's father, the Duke of Protector.

As soon as he spoke, someone immediately said, "Yes, I think so too. The national teacher herself has a deterrent power. She has a reputation as the saint of the Xiang family, and the people also admire her very much. With the national teacher who goes there in person, the hearts of the people have been half determined.

"Yes, it would be better if the national teacher could set up an altar for rain at that time."

For a while, His Highness could hear the voice of approval everywhere. In this way, Qin Mofeng could no longer refute it. He was so anxious that he leaned forward and asked, "Is the national master really going? Didn't you feel well the other day? You have to figure it out. Qin Xi is no better than Anyang.

Bai Shaoqing smiled unconsciously under the veil, and his voice softened: "Your Majesty, I'm already at ease. I went to Qinxi to convey your majesty's love for the people to the people of the world. The natural disaster is eyeless and your majesty is affectionate. The people will definitely be able to understand your majesty's worries. I will do my best to help them reclaim and return to their hometown.

Qin Mofeng looked at her closely, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and spit out two words: "zhun zou."
