”You
Li Er sighed and looked at Xue Lang, but he didn't say much. Instead, he talked about Xue Lang's sparring performance. He took out his first piece and looked serious: ”I want to listen carefully to Youyang's explanation about the drought.”
”Here it is.”
Xue Lang rationalized his words in his heart and said: ”for nearly half a month, my ministers have been wandering around the city and outside the city. Because of the drought in Guanzhong, there are more and more refugees near the capital. The gathering of so many refugees is a great test for public security and disaster relief ability. Drought is a lasting disaster. It can't be solved in a few days or a month. The court can't ignore the people under its control. It's OK to open a warehouse to release grain for disaster relief in a short period of time. If the time goes on, how can we mobilize public security and food? Too much pressure! What's more, it's even more difficult to see another plague of locusts hanging over your head this year. ”
Li Er wrung his eyebrows and nodded in his heart: ”I have been discussing this matter with all the ministers in the court recently. Locust disaster and drought disaster are not easy things. Today, the number of households in the world is much less than that in the previous period of Emperor Wen. Especially in Hebei, Shandong, Henan and other places, the continuous war, Liu Hei Kai twice rebelled, strong and brave, ten room nine empty is not empty words. The relationship between the number of people and taxes is related to the state of the world. At this time, it is the right way to have a good rest with the people, so we can only pay light taxes. But heaven is not with me, drought, locusts It still happened in Guanzhong! ”
Xiao Li is so sad. Guanzhong has always been a place of grain production, with a large population, complete and mature agricultural and water conservancy facilities, and the stability of Guanzhong can be determined by the world. However, as soon as he ascended the throne, he met with a severe drought, drought and locusts in Guanzhong, which made it even worse.
”There must be no loss in Guanzhong!”
Xiao Li said firmly.
Xue Lang nodded with approval and said in a deep voice: ”we can't lose anything. The most important thing is that people's hearts can't be disordered. It's just that it's hard to make sure that nothing happens when there's a big disaster. Therefore, the minister's way is to mobilize them to do things rather than let them cause trouble. Anyway, it's all about disaster relief. It's better to work for relief. If you have something to do, you have income, and you have a rush. Life is more than despair. You can't make a mess if you want to! As for those who are lazy and take advantage of opportunities to create chaos, the local government offices are not equipped with decorations. They should be dealt with strictly, seriously and promptly, punished and deterred. I think it is not likely to cause serious trouble! ”
Li Er looked at him with burning eyes and said, ”tell me about this work as a relief!”
”Here it is.”
Xue Lang explained his own sparring in detail: ”I recently checked in Chang'an City, but the environment is not very good. The minister's home is OK, and the environment is worrying near the homes of ordinary people and low-level officials. It was spring, and when the weather was not very hot and there were not many insects, I suggested to repair the drainage ditches in the city. After a disaster, we should prevent the epidemic, and we should do a series of measures and preparations in advance. If we wait for things to come, it will be too late! ”
In the past, Xue Lang didn't like to ride a horse or a horse. Rarely did he go out. Even when he went out, the curtain of the carriage was closed. In fact, although Chang'an city is the capital and the capital city, the roads in the city are still dirt roads. It's muddy on rainy days and dusty on dry days.
In later generations, except for a few remote mountain roads, ordinary rural and urban roads are either asphalt or cement roads, and there are few earth roads. Xue Lang, who grew up in modern times, is actually a little bit of a purist.
In addition, in the layout of Chang'an, the ditch on the outer wall of Lifang is actually a drain for sewage, and domestic sewage is discharged from this ditch. Winter is fine. In summer, the smell It's fascinating.
