Chapter 1009 Disaster Relief Ambassador
The hall suddenly became in chaos because the 800-mile memorial came from Heyang County, which contained the floods and disasters written by the Heyang County Magistrate, and the entire Heyang County was flooded.
The flood was ruthless, the fields, the houses, the trees were soaked, countless casualties, and refugees increased dramatically, waiting for rescue like the country of Bailize.
At this moment, the ministers of the court were shocked, and even Luo Zhaoyun himself was a little shocked. This was no longer the script he had set.
Emergencies and greater floods occur, requiring greater rescue forces, money, food, manpower, etc., which is definitely not a small amount.
In the second year of its establishment, everything is in destruction. Wars in the south have not yet been settled and materials are consumed greatly. If there are more floods along the Yellow River, resulting in refugees everywhere. Once improper handling is done, timely rescue cannot be achieved, and the people will survive, the disaster area may very likely trigger a new peasant uprising.
When you are hungry to a certain extent, you will lose your mind, burn, kill, rob, and survive the strong. If there are heroes, the bandits will take the opportunity to raise their teams and harm one side.
Luo Zhaoyun has already realized the seriousness of the matter. It is urgent to provide disaster relief and people to collect money and food!
"Your Majesty, what's the disaster?"
"It's very serious. You can read it yourself and pass it on." Luo Zhaoyun waved his hand and asked the eunuchs to pass it to the civil servants' queue.
The Political Affairs Hall, the heads of the three provinces and six ministers, watched first, and was shocked by the above content. The Yellow River broke its dam, flooded many people, destroyed fertile fields and villages, and even Heyang City was flooded with water. It is very likely that more than half of the people in the city were killed or injured. Thinking about that scene, it was a tragedy on earth.
After floods, plagues often occur and famines, which will have even greater impact.
"Compared with the disaster in Heyang County, Huayin County is considered a minor disaster."
"Yes, this is even more serious. There are even other dam breaking points in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. We need to check it carefully."
"It is best to write amnesty in various places to warn the Yellow River, Huai River and other major rivers to pay attention to river and water disasters."
The ministers were talking a lot, and what they showed was a righteous expression of worrying about the country and the people.
These ministers are all human beings, and it is impossible to say something inappropriate at this moment, add fuel to the fire and touch public anger.
Wei Zheng blurted out: "No matter whether it is a major or a minor disaster, the court cannot neglect it. Disaster relief measures should be formulated as soon as possible, and people should be sent to the disaster area where the Yellow River breaches, and preside over local disaster relief tasks."
Luo Zhaoyun has calmed down now, and has considered several possibilities and has made some of the worst plans, how to manage the disaster and comfort the people, so as not to cause large-scale deaths, plagues and flu, etc.
"Whether it is Huayin County or Heyang County, the treatment methods are similar. The measures of Gao Shangshu's disaster relief are also useful for Heyang County. First, we must assign an imperial envoy to Heyang County to preside over the overall situation. This concerns the life and death of thousands of people and affects the stability of the country. The responsibility is of great importance."
When Luo Zhaoyun was halfway through his speech, he paused, glanced at the ministers, and finally stopped at Changsun Wuji. Although he had trustworthy ability to ordinary people, his relationship was not as strong as Changsun Wuji. After all, they had a close relationship when they were young. With the relationship between Empress Changsun, it was more reassuring to use this person.
"Changsun Wuji, as the Minister of Revenue, you are familiar with the transportation of money and grain, conversion of expenses, etc., and your official qualities are also suitable. I will be appointed as your imperial envoy, going to Hanoi County, responsible for disaster relief ambassadors on both sides of the Yellow River, and are fully responsible for the relief of disaster victims and the emergency repair of rivers. Are you willing to take over?"
"Eat the king's salary and share his worries. I am the Minister of the Political Affairs Hall and the Minister of Revenue. If I benefit the country, I will devote all my efforts to the gains and losses of my personal gains and losses!"
Luo Zhaoyun nodded and said, "With your words, I will be relieved. This time, I can transfer a few people to help when I go to the disaster area. After all, the disaster area is vast and people need to be taken care of in various places. Just dispatch it alone, and there is no need to do everything by yourself. I have no clue."
Changsun Wuji felt aroused in his heart, and he understood that this was His Majesty’s chance to promote personnel. He pondered for a moment and said, “After listening to Your Majesty’s words, I have an enlightenment. I plan to formulate a few people as my deputy or cooperate to handle disaster relief in Hedong and Hebei.”
"Oh, everything is wrong. You can make it clear in the lobby that I can allocate it to you on the spot."
The monarch and ministers sang together and made the situation cleverly work well. They could promote some practical talents to handle this major event. If they were done well, they would definitely be promoted and promoted after they came back.
"Dai Zhou, the military field department of the Ministry of Works, Zhang Xingcheng, the imperial censor of the hall, Sima Wei Shishi, the guard of the right supervisor, and Jia Runfu, the military officer of Dushuitai..."
Changsun Wuji said five or six names in a row, all of whom were fourth or fifth rank officials. In addition to having a good relationship with him, the most important thing is that these people are talented and have ordinary backgrounds. At most, they are from local gentry or fallen officials. Unlike real nobles, they have never been valued and are suitable for handling this matter with him. After completing it, they will be promoted to another highlight of political achievements when they come back.
After listening to it, Luo Zhaoyun smiled and nodded, thinking that Changsun Wuji was still very good-looking and moved on to the ground and promoted this matter. With these people going to do things together, they were all a little real and knowledgeable, or were dedicated to the public, not worried about being inhuman, but instead made the situation even bigger and out of control.
"Yu Neishi, come and draft a book of amnesty for me. The county towns along the Yellow River will be exempted from taxes, the affected areas will be exempted from taxes for three years, so that the people will be at ease. The court will help them and rebuild their homes, and will never stand by."
"I obey the order." Yu Shinan stood up and accepted the task.
Luo Zhaoyun turned to Gao Shilian and said, "What is the calculation of the Ministry of Revenue? How much material, money and treasures are stored in the treasury in the capital? I will not tell you the truth here, which also makes the ministers know the current situation of my country's treasury, how to allocate money and grain, and how to collect and make up for the shortages, so that it will be smoothly carried out."
