Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Fifty-Three On Mechanism

Seeing that he couldn't answer, Yu Wenrong smiled and said, "The younger brother thinks that when the snow first falls, the court should make early judgments and open the warehouse for food and provide food and clothing for the people... "

"Then what if the snow is not too big? Can the people support themselves?" Another person stood up, impressively Yang Jiong, who has been known as a child prodigy since he was a child.

"The snow is not too much? If the snow is not too much, the court can take back the food after the ice and snow melt. As for whether the people can support themselves, from my younger brother's point of view, this does not affect the court's distribution of food." Yu Wenrong looked at it. Yang Jiong said with a glance.

Li Hong listened to these people's discussions outside. Yang Jiong and Wang Bo are both in this school, and they both have some idealistic feelings. His talent in poetry and singing is amazing, but the pedantic and overly idealistic views of literati have also begun to appear in them at this moment.

"There is no possibility that the food distributed by the imperial court will be recovered again. If this is done, won't the people be happy, won't the imperial court go through the scene? Give more and give less? How long will the heavy snowfall? Who knows? This is an arrangement from heaven. It is not what Brother Yuwen said that can be resolved." Wang Bo and Yang Jiong have joined each other. In the past two years, they have often discussed poetry together and established a good friendship.

"Li Hong has seen Mr. Li." Li Hong listened at the door for fun. Although there was no substantive suggestion for the matter discussed, Yu Wenrong's suggestion was the prototype of a necessary mechanism.

Just like the general manager of Cheng Zhijie conquering the Western Turks, Wang Wendu was jealous of Su Dingfang's military merits, falsely preaching the imperial decree, and seizing military power, making the whole army miss the best opportunity to defeat the Western Turks. In the end, Cheng Zhijie was implicated in reducing his officials to avoid death. Wang Wendu was also executed after returning to the court.

Take this case as an example, it can only prove that this is not someone’s fault, but that the existing system is not sound enough. In the course of the war, the imperial decree was passed on to the deputy chief instead of The joke of the chief steward.

"See His Royal Highness." More than fifty people in the house hurriedly got up and saluted.

Li Hong waved his hand, then smiled and sat down on another chair next to Shangguanyi, looking at Yu Wenrong and asking: "Go on, I want to hear your final solution."

"Yes, Your Royal Highness." Yu Wenrong bowed and saluted, and then said: "After talking about this, basically my point of view has already been expressed, that is, advance in advance, and open the warehouse when the snow falls. , Send cloth to give firewood, so that you can ensure that the loss of the heavy snow to the people is minimized. If the snow is small and the time is short, you can recover a part of it, and even let the people pay for their goods."

Li Hong smiled calmly and continued to ask Yu Wenrong: "Do you still remember when the rain fell this year, I asked you to measure the water level of Yongan Canal and Longshou Canal?"

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the students remember, and every time it rained this year, the students made notes, even Qujiangchi, the students measured the water level after the rain." Yu Wenrong said.

Li Hong nodded, got up from the chair, turned and walked to the writing board made of glass behind him, picked up the chalk placed on the edge of the writing board, and after a little thought, he wrote on the writing board Ranked in seven colors: red orange yellow green blue blue purple.

Li Hong turned around and looked at Yu Wenrong and said: "Report all the water levels you measured."

As Yuwenrong reported a water level, Li Hong marked the water level number under a specific color. After the seven water levels of varying sizes were reported, Li Hong also followed the marked water levels under the seven colors. High and low are arranged in order.

Then turned around and looked at the faces of the students who were unclear. Even Shang Guanyi showed a look of inexplicable thinking, not knowing what Li Hong was doing.

Li Hong threw down the chalk in his hand, clapped his hands and said: "What we lack is not a method, but a system. If there is no perfect system, no matter how feasible your method is, no matter how smoothly the floods and snow disasters of the people can be solved. In the absence of a perfect system, everything will be in vain. Because all methods to be implemented will always be more difficult than methods. Only after establishing a system, we can Only the envisaged method can be implemented. During this process, the method will have various weaknesses exposed, but as long as it is guaranteed by the big system, everything will become simple and effective."

After Li Hong finished speaking, he looked at the thoughts of the people, he relaxed for a while, and waited until everyone was digested, and continued: "So, this is what I call the system."

Li Hong walked to the writing board again, pointed to the low to high water level marked under the red orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, and pointed to the first water level and said: "Yong'an Canal, Longshou Canal, Qujiang Pond It is enough for us to roughly analyze the size of the rain. As the water level changes, we can correspond to which color it is under, and we can gain insight into this flood in advance, and what kind of rain will cause the people. The corresponding consequences. There is a prerequisite, that is, which color water level we need as the standard."

"Don't understand? Inexplicable?" Li Hong looked at them and explained: "The water level is in red, so the court does not need to help the people. As the water level rises, the colors on the top will change accordingly. We take cyan as a warning. For example, when the water level reaches blue, does it mean that the rainfall is too heavy and the people can no longer save themselves. Then, can you start the so-called rescue people system?"

"Rain water can still be measured by river channels, but what about snowy days? What should we do when the sky is full of snow?" No matter how much he has digested, Yu Wenrong can't wait to continue to draw more inspiration ideas.

"Snow is the same, or even simpler. A bamboo pole is enough. In Duoji County, Guanzhong area, the population is also centered in Chang'an and Luoyang. We only need to set up a bamboo pole in the open space, and it will follow the snowfall. Isn't it a clear reminder of the size and how much the bamboo poles are submerged?" Li Hong blinked.

Everyone suddenly realized that the school was like a hornet exploding. Everyone talked a lot, and they started to discuss differently.

After a long time, the voice of discussion gradually subsided, and the faces of many students were filled with excitement.

At this moment, a student who was about fifteen or sixteen years old stood up and asked solemnly: "His Royal Highness, the student has a question to ask you."

"Say."

"All of what you said needs to be based on the system you just mentioned. Students think about it, even if we can measure the size of the rain and defend against it according to the warning line, but if this The imperial court does not have a set system. Are we here to talk like Zhao Kuo on paper?"

Liang Xiaoren’s question is very acute. It points directly to the most important link, which is who will promote it. If the court does not promote it, these will not help.

The needle falling in the whole school was audible, and Li Hong did not show the anger that the student was afraid of. On the contrary, he gave Liang Xiaoren a thumbs up to show his appreciation, then paced back and forth in the middle of the school, slowly saying:" System is one aspect. The time required for the imperial court to establish a system is not like ours. It can be implemented after discussion. Are you sure that after the discussion just now, your ideas are mature?"

Yu Wenrong stood up and said: "His Royal Highness, if the kind of system you mentioned can be established, our brief discussion just now will be enough to cope with the annual famine, so that the people will no longer be left home and displaced due to the famine."

Li Hong walked up to Yu Wenrong, and a smirk gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth. This smile was too familiar. Whether it was Yu Wenrong, Wang Bo, Yang Jiong, and Liang Xiaoren, they all felt a chill in the back of the back. , Didn’t you miss something?

"I have always warned you that the height determines the comprehensiveness of your perspective, and the angle determines the correctness of your implementation methods. Unfortunately, you still have not met my standards. You will leave Chongwen Museum in one year , You are the first batch of students to enter the Chongwenguan. If you are at this level, you will lose the face of the East Palace. No matter who you are, after you leave the Chongwenguan, you are preparing for the imperial examination or choosing me The position offered to you, no, I won't want you, it's not up to the requirements." Li Hong's smirk at the corner of his mouth became more vigorous, and he walked to Shangguanyi again.

Shangguanyi also has a look of doubt. These students have been very considerate. Why is the prince still not satisfied?

"Dare to ask the prince, their consideration ministers feel that they have already covered everything, why are you not satisfied?" Shangguanyi is not asking as a husband, but as a minister.

Obviously, he is also very concerned about this question about how the people will survive the famine~IndoMTL.com~, so he asked as a minister.

"A small bamboo pole and a curved river can let you see the magnitude of floods and snow disasters, but you really think that it is a natural disaster, but the people are short of food and clothing and are displaced? Rain and heavy snow cover the sky. , How do you deliver these to the people? And how do you ensure that the people have enough ability to spend after receiving the food and clothing you sent? There will be plague after the catastrophe, have you considered these? Disaster relief personnel Where does it come from, where does all the food and clothing come from? What should the people do when they are homeless? How should the relief people be resettled? Children, women, the elderly, people with disabilities, What about?"

Li Hong glanced at everyone, and continued to slowly say: "No matter what kind of natural disaster, if we want to use human resources, what we have to do is like dealing with a severe war, sometimes even more than a war. It takes time and effort, and there will be more deaths and injuries! This is not only something that can be solved by food and clothing, there are many problems that need to be solved. But thank you Yu Wenrong for your hypothesis, I decided, Mr. Shangguan, to take this as This is the subject of this month. I can't come up with a feasible plan after a month, and I will stand outside Jiafumen for two hours with the sign of'I am an idiot'."

Looking at the bottom silently, obviously willing to accept this new subject, the smirk at the corner of Li Hong's mouth gradually faded, and he said again: "I'm not afraid of the problem, I'm afraid we won't notice where the problem is? Some specialize in poetry, some specialize in pharmacology, and others like Yu Wenrong and Liang Xiaoren, who have been staring at the Daming Palace under construction, but are you sure you can be alone? Daming Palace gives you both. A wall, with the knowledge you have learned now, I don’t think it can stand safely under that wall."
