The grand court meeting once a month is held as scheduled at the end of the month.

The main officials of various ministries, temples and courtyards gather together rarely. This is not only a summary of the work in January, but also an overall arrangement for the work in the next month.

Li Ze really hates that he would gather all the officials together for a meeting when he had nothing to do. Usually, he would do his own things, and report them step by step, and each of them would find his own subordinate yamen to handle it. Each yamen has great autonomy. He has the ability to hold meetings and provoke things, and I don’t know how many things he can do.

Li Ze is a prime minister who values ​​results more.

After Li Ze took charge of the court, the first thing he solved was those memorials that were less than five or six, with thousands of words in length, and finally came to fruition. It was only a hundred words. Since he tore up the memorials of some local officials in public at the grand court meeting, such memorials have never appeared again.

Li Ze only asked: If you have something to say, just be straightforward.

Before Li Ze arrived, the entire lobby was filled with officials crowded together in groups, whispering in a low voice, some smiling, and some smiling.

Guo Fengxiao of the Ministry of Works is naturally the core figure today. Around him, there are many officials around him, most of whom are inquiring about the newly implemented public transportation regulations in Wuyi. Guo Fengxiao introduced to everyone with a bright look. After the implementation of the new policy for a month, the positive side has become more and more obvious. The originally crowded streets of Wuyi have now been greatly alleviated, and even the streets seem much cleaner and orderly.

Because of Wuyi's success, the possibility of this policy being promoted externally is increasing. This is a huge piece of fat that makes everyone salivate.

The auction of four public lines in Wuyi City alone earned nearly two million guan of silver. If it was extended to the entire northern city, it would be such a huge sum of money. Even if those remote and small cities were not counted, places like Zhenzhou, Yizhou, Zhaozhou, Dingzhou, Cangzhou, Dezhou, Dizhou and Hedongzhou are also amazing.

If there is a long-distance passenger transport between cities, the prospect will be even more attractive.

Places like Yizhou Zhenzhou and Zhaozhou were close to Wuyi, and they immediately sent capable officials to Wuyi for inspection and study. Dayou immediately copied the style of Wuyi's entirely plagiarized learning of the past.

"Everyone, I know that many people are asking you to inquire about this matter. If the towns in various places are doing locally, the Ministry of Works has no objection. It only needs to comply with the guidance of the Public Transport Management Department in general. However, the connection between public transportation between cities and land is not a trivial matter. This involves balance and negotiation between places. Therefore, this matter needs to be discussed for a long time. Now everyone asks me, and I can only say that there is nothing to say. Sorry, sorry!" Guo Fengxiao held his fists and bowed in groups.

Anyone who has reached this level in the court has few disciples and friends below? When a new piece of fat appears, he naturally holds the principle of fast hands and slow hands, and then asks first.

Amid the laughter and scolding of the crowd, Guo Fengxiao returned to his seat with a smile.

With a slight sound of the side door, Zhang Xun stepped into the door first. The rumblings in the room stopped immediately, and all the officials returned to their seats and stood up.

Zhang Xun stood behind the scenes of the big case, and behind him, Li Ze followed him out.

"Have you met Lee Sang!"

All the officials saluted with their hands crossed, and Li Ze smiled and clasped his fists to return the salute, "Everyone, please sit down."

After all the officials sat down on the street, Li Ze knocked on the table and said, "Everyone is here today. No one is bad, so let's start the meeting now! The first thing today is to listen to Sinong Temple to talk about the impact of this year's drought on us as a whole."

Liu Xin, the minister of the Sinong Temple, opened the file in front of him and said, "Li Xiang, everyone, this year's drought has lasted for a long time and has affected a wide area, which is rare in the past decade. This year's agricultural production cuts have been reduced this year. Fortunately, under the leadership of Li Xiang, the court and the local government have been constantly building constructions and rectifying water conservancy facilities, and minimizing the impact of drought as much as possible."

"Tell me about the specific data!" Li Ze interrupted him and said.

"Yes!" Liu Xin's face turned slightly red and said: "Overall, this year's grain harvest will be reduced by more than 30% overall."

A sound of gasping in the room immediately sounded.

"Of course, places like Zhenzhou, Zhaozhou, Dingzhou, Yizhou, Cangzhou, Dizhou, Shenzhou, and Jingzhou have been less affected and production cuts will not exceed 10%. However, in Hedong, Hezhong, Zhaoyi, and Weibo, production cuts will be around 20%. The more serious ones are the Ansui area, Pinglu area, Yingzhou, Mozhou, Pingzhou and other places, production cuts will exceed more than 40%. "Liu Xin continued.

"The response of Sinong Temple!" Li Ze knocked on the table and said again.

"It sounds scary, but in fact it doesn't have to worry too much." Liu Xin said: "For several years, the imperial court has been in good weather and harvest year by year. Changping warehouses in various places are full of food. In our investigation, there are actually quite a lot of grain stored in the hands of the people. Sinong Temple made a rough statistics, believing that only one-third of the reserved grains in Changping warehouses need to be released to the lowest harvest smoothly. The Changping warehouses maintain more than half of the reserved grains will not have much impact on the court."

"In addition, the areas outside the southern and northern deserts are preparing to transport tens of thousands of livestock to the mainland. After these meats enter the mainland, they will also play a huge role in stabilizing prices. Overall, this drought will certainly have an impact on us, but we are fully capable of dealing with it."

"Very good." Li Ze nodded with satisfaction: "You all heard that although we have suffered a disaster, we don't have to worry about anything at all. This is the result of your hard work over the years."

"It's all up to the leader of Li Xiang to be good!" Since Li Ze himself started the rhythm of praising everyone first, everyone might as well flatter him. Besides, this is indeed a real political achievement. It has not rained for several consecutive months. The production cuts in such a large area are so serious, but the court has enough efforts to deal with it. This is indeed Li Ze's governance is good.

"Okay, let's not flatter each other." Li Ze smiled and said, "Although we know that we will not be in short supply of food, the people may not know that all government offices, including localities, must find ways to calm people's hearts and let the people know that we are not in short supply of food. Although the food is now liberalized, it is still necessary to stabilize the price of food, but it is not necessary to use administrative orders, but to use market means."

All officials nodded in agreement.

The stability of the human heart is undoubtedly the most important thing.

Sometimes, rumors are killing people, and rumors can also destroy the achievements that countless people have worked hard for many years. Especially at such moments, it is not ruled out that people with ulterior motives will use some means.

"After a major disaster, there will be a major epidemic!" Li Ze turned to look at Jin Yuan, "Tian Qing is not here, let's talk about the specific situation."

Jin Yuan cleared his throat and said, "After a major disaster, there will be a major epidemic. This is almost an iron rule. After this large-scale drought, the riverbeds that were buried underwater were exposed, and a large number of wetlands and mudflats were dried up. Judging from the common sense of our doctors, some plagues will breed in it. If one is not properly dealt with, it will cause plagues."

"The second thing to note is that after such a drought, a locust plague is likely to form." Jin Yuan's words made the house a little turbulent: "The Imperial Medical Department specially sent a team to conduct field research. Indeed, there are many such places and found a large number of locust eggs. The locust plague is terrible, and I think everyone knows it."

"Say a countermeasure!"

"The Imperial Medical Office has issued official letters to the states, prefectures and counties, requiring them to burn large amounts of lime, and then sprinkle lime on these exposed riverbeds, dry mudflats and wetlands on the surface, and kill insect eggs as much as possible. All localities should try their best to mobilize the masses, pay attention to cleaning and hygiene, remove garbage, and do not drink raw water, etc. We have made a brochure and distributed it to various places with the official letter."

Li Ze turned to look at Zhang Xun: "After the meeting, a letter of supervision was issued in the name of the Prime Minister's Office, telling officials in various places that they must strictly follow the official letter issued by the Imperial Medical Office. If there is any mistake, they will be severely punished."

"Yes." Zhang Xun stood behind Li Ze, but he picked up his pen and wrote it down in the notebook like flying.

"Li Xiang, the Imperial Medical Office, also requires local medical clinics to equip local medicinal materials to deal with plague, and require local pharmacies to make Qingwen Dan and other patent medicines for use. Our strategy is to prepare it instead of using it, and not use it when it is not available." Jin Yuan continued.

"That's the reason!" Li Ze looked at Jin Yuan with appreciation and said, "If any of these things happens, there will be a big mess. It is better to believe that they have it than to believe that they don't. Even if a lot of money is wasted, it doesn't matter."

"It may not be wasted." Jin Yuan smiled and said, "From some of the current situations we have learned, Guanzhong area is definitely going to suffer disasters. If we deal with it properly and there is no disaster, then these things can be sold at a good price at that time."

"So you're still thinking about this."

"Li Xiang, at that time, we can not only make money, but also make people's hearts. More importantly, this is also to save lives! No matter from that aspect, the lower officials think it is good." Jin Yuan said seriously.
Chapter completed!
