At the end of the day, only Yu Wenyun and Fu Xiaoguan were left in the Xiuchun Pavilion of Dieyi Palace. Concubine Shang returned to the palace with the poem and said she needed a nap.

Fu Xiaoguan and Yu Wenyun were flirting with each other, when they saw the father-in-law who had been standing in Chengtian Hall running towards them.

"Master Fu, Your Majesty has summoned me. Please follow me to the Imperial Study Room."

Yu Wenyun pouted and glared at Eunuch Jia. Eunuch Jia quickly smiled, bowed and said, "Your Highness, Ninth Princess, forgive me. This is really what your Majesty meant."

"Hmph!" Yu Wenyun looked at Fu Xiaoguan and whispered: "I'll go to Shulan's place and I'll find you later."

Fu Xiaoguan followed Eunuch Jia to the imperial study room. Before he could enter the door, there was a quarrel inside.

"Your Majesty, I think this is not possible. For thousands of years, the so-called disaster relief is of course that the court has provided money, food and materials to the victims for free. The problem that arises now is not that there is a problem with the method of disaster relief, but that there is a problem with the people who are providing disaster relief. This Isn't that what your Majesty's intention is to inspect the Thirteen Roads? To find out these **** and punish them as a warning, and then send new officials to take office. Based on the experience of the past, I think this kind of thing can be stopped. "

"I think what Taifu Ning said is reasonable. The original intention of this disaster relief is to benefit the victims so that they will not suffer the pain of displacement. If you follow Fu Xiaoguan's method, wouldn't it turn into the imperial court selling food to the victims? What will the victims think? What will other countries think? Don’t they think that the Yu Dynasty is exploiting the victims?”

"It cannot be completely denied. The post-disaster treatment mentioned in this strategy is very reasonable, especially the centralized burning of corpses. Although it is not very humane, it can indeed effectively avoid the epidemic of plague. I still remember Taihe In the 39th year, there were also two floods on the Yellow River. According to post-disaster statistics, more than 42,000 people died due to the floods. However, the plague that broke out after the floods killed more than 123,000 people. Now that I think about it, it should It’s because those corpses were not disposed of in time.”

"..."

Emperor Yu Yin's head ached a little while sitting on the dragon chair. The five people sitting there, including Ning Fachun, the Grand Tutor, and Dong Kangping, the Minister of Household Affairs, all clearly stated that this strategy did not work.

Originally, he was counting on Prime Minister Yan Beixi, but Yan Beixi was as slippery as a loach. Well, I can't completely deny it. I have already completely rejected this strategy, and proposed an insignificant post-disaster treatment. I also know that post-disaster treatment is very important, but post-disaster treatment is not as troublesome as disaster relief, okay?

Fei Bang is the Minister of War, and Yan Shidao is the Privy Council Envoy. These two are in charge of military affairs, and I am going to let them read the strategy for war. The discussion at the moment is disaster relief. These two people are probably Can't speak.

He looked outside, feeling happy that Fu Xiaoguan had finally arrived.

"Common people see the emperor!"

Just as Fu Xiaoguan was about to kneel down and worship, the emperor said: "Come on, come on, no need to be polite. This strategy is yours. You can explain it to them now."

The emperor threw away this nonsense and leaned on the dragon chair to watch the show.

Fu Xiaoguan clasped his fists and bowed, with a smile on his face: "I am from the countryside, so I don't understand the rules of this big place. If I do something wrong with you, please forgive me."

After speaking, he stood at midfield and said: "My lords, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I will explain it to you in detail."

The five big guys sitting here looked at Fu Xiaoguan again. This kid scolded Shi Chaoyuan, the Minister of Rites, in the Chengtian Palace. He seemed ignorant but was actually extremely thoughtful. He was standing in the imperial study room with a calm expression at the moment. There is no restraint, this young man has a very calm mind.

Dong Kangping stood up first, "Let me ask you, why do you think the court is providing disaster relief?"

Fu Xiaoguan didn't know that this man was Dong Shulan's father, but he was handsome and looked a bit like Dong Xiude. The discussion at the moment was about disaster relief issues under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs, so the identity of this man could be revealed.

He bowed politely to Dong Kang and replied: "I think the court's disaster relief is for the people who were affected by the disaster."

"Now that you know, why does this strategy deny the method that has been followed for thousands of years and replace it with stabilizing food prices?"

“Returning to your lord, the law that has been practiced for thousands of years is not static. The common people believe that if this law has lagged behind the development of society, it needs to be changed. If we continue to cling to the past and be conservative, the development of society will stop, and many disadvantages will arise. If it breaks out in one day, it will at least cause loss of people and property, and at worst, it may threaten the safety of the country."

"Do you think the disaster relief methods you have always followed have fallen behind?" Dong Kangping asked with a frown.

"Yes, it is no longer suitable for the development of society."

Dong Kangping was silent for a moment and then asked: "The so-called disaster relief originally meant that the court provided free food and materials to the victims. According to your plan, this requires payment. For the Ministry of Household Affairs and the court, even if it is sold at the original price, it is It's a good thing to make money. But what about the victims? If they don't have money, won't they starve?"

This is a key point of the problem. Emperor Yu Yin has never been able to understand this problem. He sat up straight.

"Back to your lord, the young man's family is a landlord, and I guess you know that. But the young man is a little different from the young master from the rich merchant family. The young man likes farmers and often chats with them. This time he accepted three There are tens of thousands of refugees, and Xiaomin has in-depth contact with them, so Xiaomin knows what they think."

"You adults should know the price of food in the disaster area. I chatted with Brother Qin Bingzhong two days ago. Brother Qin said that the price of food in the disaster area has risen to five times the usual price. In fact, it is far more. The two Yellow Rivers, especially Xijing and Henan In this prefecture, food prices have already risen to twelve times the normal level! Henan Province has two prefectures and 28 prefectures, and one prefecture and six prefectures have been hit hard. The price of grain in this prefecture and six prefectures has generally increased by ten times per pound. Seven Wen Ji, after the disaster, has reached 170 Wen per pound! What is the concept? This means huge profits! My lords, I guess you are thinking, since rice is so expensive, why not eat whole grains? , the price of coarse grains has also increased by more than ten times! So why is this because not all of the disaster relief grains from the court have been distributed to the victims, so they have to buy them, and at least 30% of the grains they bought. It’s disaster relief food belonging to the imperial court.”

"Businessmen all over the world will flock to you if they have 30% profit. If you have 50% profit, they will take desperate risks. If you have double the profit, they will dare to trample on all laws. If you have triple the profit, , they dare to commit any crime, let alone ten times more now!”

"The same is true for officials. They will definitely be involved, so no matter how much food the court allocates, the final result will not change!"

Fu Xiaoguan spoke at length and was silent for a moment. He felt a little thirsty, so he looked at the emperor and asked, "Your Majesty, can you give me some water to drink?"
