Ying Mo never spoke.
When Chu Yun once again threatened 50 with his staff, it was officially decided that officials of the third rank and above would receive 100,000 silver each, and officials of the fifth rank and above would receive 50,000 silver each.
After all, one more time and nine times out of ten, one's life will be taken.
Not only the officials in the government, but also the officials who have just been suspended because they are recuperating at home.
For a time, there were complaints from both the government and the public.
But that's not all.
Wait until the money is raised.
Baiguan proposed to quickly start formulating disaster relief policies, purchase food, and resettle the refugees.
As a demon concubine who brings disaster to the country and the people, how can she care about the lives and lives of ordinary people?
Chu Yun sat lazily on the golden double dragon chair.
The corners of his mouth curved into a charming and evil arc.
"Oh, don't worry about that. Since we have raised so much money, let's dig a river channel."
"I promised to send the princes and young masters from all over the world back, so I can't break my promise. Zhao and Wu are both on the banks of the Wei River. It only needs to connect Jing River, Yuyang Lake, and Wei River, and it will be much more convenient for me to go south.
.”
"And there were too few lychees as tribute yesterday. I heard that the distance between Wu State and the capital was more than ten days, so even if we use ice to protect it, we can only deliver a small box of lychees at a time.
If the river channel is dug and the waterway is used, it will take several days, but the whole lychee tree can be transported here.
Or use a big box and put more ice cubes in it, so you can transport more at one time.
In this way, the emperor and all your lords can also eat fresh lychees.
Not only lychees, but also other fresh fruits from Wu can be eaten.
This is a great thing.”
The ministers vomited blood and looked at Chu Yun, "You... you, you, you, you are so crazy."
"With so many people displaced and waiting outside Ancheng and Liucheng, you actually have the guts to dig a river channel just to stutter.
Do you, a woman, still have a heart?"
"That's human life, tens of thousands of human lives. You woman have such a cruel heart."
Ying Mo also frowned, and finally couldn't help but whisper.
"I advise you to stop in moderation."
Although he rebelled against Darong, it was just a false excuse.
At that time, the imperial court actually did not refuse to send troops.
But he took the wrong road and failed to catch up.
It's just that Emperor Darong became more and more suspicious of Tangtang after he gave birth to his son.
He had no choice but to strike first.
He could also use this excuse to start a rebellion.
This shows the importance of public support.
If we really don't care about the lives and lives of the people, maybe someone will rise up tomorrow.
Chu Yun smiled carelessly.
He looked at Ying Mo intently for a while, only to see that Ying Mo was irritated and wanted to kill someone.
This bitch just took advantage of his weak spot.
Watch Ying Mo shut up for love again.
Only then did Chu Yun look at the group of ministers lying on the ground with red faces and thick necks.
"Do you really think about the people, are you afraid that they will starve to death without food relief, or are you afraid that the court will not buy food from merchants and will not be able to raise prices?"
Since the military reserves are not being used, of course we can only buy them from merchants.
The big merchants in Yingguo have long been controlled by these aristocratic families that have lasted for hundreds of years.
I had just been bled, how could I not think of a way to get it back?
"You are spitting blood, Wei Chen will never do that."
"I don't understand what you are talking about. As officials in the government, we naturally care about the lives of the people. If we really ignore the lives of so many people, I will not feel at ease until the day I die."
"As a court official, if you cannot work for the welfare of the people, or even watch the people die, you are not afraid of going to hell, but I am afraid of going to hell."
"I don't agree with building the canal."
"I don't agree either."
"We must not watch people die."
"..."
Except for the people Chu Yun had just placed inside, there were voices of opposition one after another.
Even the newly promoted officials who were forced to submit to Chu Yun.
There was also sweat on the forehead.
His expression was extremely complicated.
"Who said I was going to let them die?"
Amidst the excitement of the crowd, a scornful and evil voice sounded again.
The sound is not loud, but it reaches everyone's ears clearly.
The young officials kneeling on the ground were startled.
The officials, who were lying on the ground and howling in an earth-shattering manner, immediately silenced themselves.
"You mean, you still want to buy food for disaster relief?"
Xia Yingtian felt that he had guessed the thoughts of his rebellious girl.
"It is absolutely impossible to carry out disaster relief and canal digging at the same time."
The money they have raised now may not be enough for disaster relief alone.
Not to mention digging river channels.
They plan to drive up food prices.
But who allowed this rebellious woman to defraud him of such a huge amount of money?
Not even his own father was spared.
Recently, that bitch of the Zhao family is in charge of the middle office again.
Squeeze the money to death.
His one hundred thousand taels of silver were almost raised by selling iron.
It's not too much to restore a little blood now.
Others also reacted, "Xia Shangshu said that under a major disaster, food prices are inevitable. The money is barely enough to resettle the victims, and there is no surplus to build rivers."
"Besides, this kind of thing that wastes people and money and has no practical significance should not be done at all."
"If I really did it, I don't know how people in the world would reviled me."
"Your Majesty, please order disaster relief. You must not listen to this woman's deceptions and become infamy throughout the ages."
Ying Mo pursed his lips and looked at Chu Yun.
Chu Yun smiled faintly, "Who said you can only choose between disaster relief and canal construction."
Xia Yingtian and others were even more excited, "But there is only so much money."
Even if they don't raise the price of rice and noodles.
The rest is definitely not enough to dig one-fifth of the river channel.
"So what's the use of the imperial court raising trash like you?"
All the ministers:???
"I don't know what the meaning is, but you are still so stupid. Is your brain just a decoration? You don't know how to think carefully?"
Xia Yingtian and others were so angry that they blew their beards and stared.
If it weren't for the injuries on his body, he would have barely jumped up and scolded Chu Yun.
"Then tell me, how can we provide disaster relief and dig rivers with only this amount of money?"
The ministers believed that Chu Yun was just talking nonsense.
But the woman in the high position smiled calmly.
"Wouldn't it be enough to send all the refugees to build the river? Anyway, when building the river, we have to hire workers and pay for the work. Since the victims can't survive, let's give them the stuttering ones and let them work hard."
"You!! Vicious woman!!!"
Xia Yingtian and others were stunned.
It took a while before he spoke, "You are simply out of your mind. Many of the victims are old, weak, women and children. If you ask them to dig river channels, you are simply sending them to their deaths."
"Men may still be able to persist, but women and children may be swept away accidentally. You woman has a vicious heart."
Chu Yun squinted, "Women and children won't stand far away digging? Can't they do some logistical work?
Instead of starving to death immediately, letting them use their own hands and feet to earn a bite of food is called evil?
Then Mr. Xia, hurry up and spend money to support the nursing home in your house. You are also evil, and you actually let them do such dangerous work. If you encounter a desperado who insists on taking your life, they will die.
?”
In ancient times, disaster relief often cost a lot of money but had little effect.
Often this is because the only way to provide disaster relief is through food relief.
And they will continue to receive relief until the next autumn harvest.
"You!!!" Xia Yingtian couldn't find the words to retort for a while.
Chapter completed!
