Chapter 470 Traitors and officials are often one
The courtyard is not far from the front of the hall. After a quick turn around, it was time to get to the main business: Since you have already taken office, what will Xiao Ling be responsible for next?
After hearing this topic, everyone in the courtyard stopped their work and looked at this direction with breath. After all, this involves their personal interests. As long as they have some backbone, no one wants to be assigned to do things under the command of this uncle, right?
"The Prime Minister thinks, I, uh, what should I do?" Xiao Ling asked back.∈◆,
Zeng Xitong was not too slow: "There is something that is really something that is related to the stability of the country and the welfare of the people. It is not a noble status and profound Taoism. It is not a good teacher who is not qualified."
"Oh, let's talk." Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows.
"Since last winter, there has been very little rainfall in the seven states of Cang, Yan, Jin, Xuan, Qi, and Linqi, and the severe drought has continued. It has been seven or eight months since then. Zhongzhou, Cangzhou and Xuanzhou are full of water, which is better. Yan, Jin, Qi, and Linzhou are already thousands of miles away. The crops are dry and the summer harvest is almost extinct. If the drought continues, there is no hope for the autumn harvest..."
In an instant, everyone's eyes focused on Zeng Xitong, with admiration, admiration, and even a faint admiration.
The drought is prolonged, the land is vast and the grains are not harvested. This is indeed the most troublesome thing for the court at the moment.
However, no matter how headaches are, there are not many methods available. In places with rivers and rivers, digging ditches can also dig digging water to relieve drought. Those without rivers can only work together. In order to grab water, there are many armed fights in all directions, causing countless injuries and deaths. Even local officials cannot persuade them, and they cannot persuade them.
What the court officials can do is nothing more than climbing the altar to pray for rain and begging God to mercy. But its effect... can be imagined.
At present, the emperor is too lazy to even go to the altar to pray for rain. The weather is so hot. The sun is so hot, and there are beauty to favor. Who is more important? Do you still need to choose? The ministers persuaded him and got the same sentence, "I have already handed over the world to you. If you can't handle it well, I will change a group of people." Who can have something to say? Who dares to say?
Even when it comes to this position, the emperor will issue an edict according to the rules. The court officials dare not be so angry at all.
Leaving the drought resistance to the freshly released uncle is really killing two birds with one stone.
Just as the prime minister said, to preside over this matter, one must have a noble status. If not noble enough, it cannot show the royal attention. The status of the uncle, plus the titles of Grand Tutor, Deputy Prison, and Deputy Push, should be enough.
The key is that only if the status is noble enough can you take the blame! Otherwise, if someone else can't relieve the drought, you will still behave as you are now, causing chaos in the public, and you will only be beheaded to quell the anger of the public.
Therefore, this matter has been delayed until now. No one is willing to take responsibility for it...
The Prime Minister agreed so smoothly to the emperor's appointment, and it turned out that he was waiting here! Admiration, admiration, worship, and all kinds of eyes met.
Even Prince Li Mo was stunned for a moment. Then he looked at Zeng Xitong with a different look.
In the past, he hated Zeng Xitong's character, a fence-bearing man. He was on both sides, and the wind was strong. At this moment, he felt that fence-bearing man was also combat-ready.
Everyone's eyes were instantly understood. Even if they didn't understand, the intelligence work that has been working tirelessly since they came to this world was enough to help Xiao Ling analyze what he wanted.
He saw Zeng Xitong and asked, "How does the Prime Minister think that this official is suitable for the matter?"
Zeng Xitong smiled slightly: "The Taishi's magic power is superb and his Taoist practice is profound. He can already travel around the world and roam all over the world... The glory, wealth, wealth, clothing and food in the world should be a passing cloud in the eyes of the Taishi. He can make the Taishi respect the world and bring so many fellow Taoists together. If you look at it, you must have something that the Taishi must come and must come."
"The Taishi came here not to enjoy high-ranking officials and generous salaries. Those who are in the world must do something. Therefore, they took the initiative to entrust important tasks, but they just don't know whether it's in line with the Taishi's will?"
Xiao Ling was like the prince, and looked at the prime minister with a different look. This is a truly smart person. No wonder he can stand firm regardless of the strokes and rains of the court!
Many cultivators who participated in the competition may not understand Xiao Ling's plan, but the person in front of him is already very insightful.
He smiled and nodded: "Since the Prime Minister said that, I will take over the matter of managing drought!"
"Teacher Xie understands!" Zeng Xitong was overjoyed. Although he had some inferences in his heart, it was still his own affairs that he could not decide whether Xiao Ling was involved.
Xiao Ling decided to take it himself, that would be the best!
Since the general direction has been decided, the next thing is trivial matters. For example, for this matter, how many troops are there, and where the troops are affiliated to, Xiao Ling is allowed to mobilize, how many soldiers can be allocated, how many materials can be allocated in the grain warehouse, and all kinds of...
When Xiao Ling got off the court and returned to Sifang Pavilion, what happened in the morning court had already spread throughout Sifang Pavilion.
The cultivators gathered in the Yanran Pavilion where Xiao Ling lived, and were very happy. Because everyone could see that after one night last night and another morning court today, they had made progress beyond imagination in this round of war of gods.
Thinking back to what Xiao Ling said yesterday when he advised them, giving them one night... It was really a night, and the weather was changed.
Although only thirty senior officials were summoned, thousands of people arrived one after another, some congratulated Xiao Ling and his friends for admiring him for becoming a high-ranking official so efficiently and winning the trust of the emperor.
Congratulations last night was a little early. Now the edict to be granted the title of Empress and Concubine has been issued, and the matter of being granted a title of Marquis and Prime Minister has been settled. It is time.
But some people also asked him why he took on the obviously thankless and unrelated task-related matter of praying for rain to the sky and solving drought... Isn't he brain-related illness?
Of course, the expression is not so straightforward, but it basically means this.
Xiao Ling and his friends pay the most attention to intelligence collection. They have repeatedly emphasized this issue since they took down command power yesterday. Therefore, the news that had just been confirmed in the Political Affairs Hall has already arrived at the Sifang Hall.
I have to talk about this matter carefully, just while everyone is there.
Why should we take on the thankless thing about curing drought?
Because so far, except for the assassination last night, no one has found a chance to overthrow the current dynasty.
This is a completely empty world. There are barbarians in the east, south, west and north, so there are governors in the four directions. However, no matter the barbarians or the power of governors in the four directions, so far, they have not reached the point where they can overthrow the dynasty, unless they join forces... But how can that be possible?
At most, it was a series of troubles that made the dynasty lose sight of one thing and look forward to the other, but it could not shake the dynasty's roots.
Even if the emperor is so stupid and obsessed with beauty, and if there are evil girls in the palace and cause trouble, it will not be possible.
The essential reason is that the Qinghuang Realm itself has not fallen to the point of destruction. When the strength of this realm is projected into this world, it becomes like this.
The Battle of the Gods is dangerous. Why do other time and space flows usually wait until the target time and space flow are in danger before starting? It is because the time is not ripe when it starts too early, and it is very likely that the chicken will not be able to lose the rice, but will be taken away by fate, allowing the other party to survive.
However, for Xiao Ling and his friends, no matter whether they win or lose, they must do their best, because once they cannot show their faces on the Gods List to control their own destiny, no matter whether they are the losers or the winners, they may be detained here and cannot be freed.
After all, they are stolen people, and they are not justified...
Let’s get off the ground, since the external force that overthrew the dynasty’s rule was not there, then most of the hidden dangers were inside the dynasty.
According to the current drought, the summer harvest has ended. If the autumn harvest still has no harvest, the people will probably have to sell their children and change their children to eat each other.
Although according to the official statistics of the court, there are enough granaries in various places, even if there is no harvest in a year, it is not difficult to open a warehouse to provide relief for the people... But it would be strange if Xiao Ling believed in those statistics!
The emperor is so confused that it would be strange if the administration is good. Those granaries under the openly glamorous statistics are probably empty, right?
When it is time to open the warehouse and release grain, when the warehouse is opened, there is no grain. As long as it is slightly incited, the people's resentment will probably sweep across the West like a spark, instantly sweeping across the West.
So...even if Prime Minister Zeng Xitong doesn't ask, Xiao Ling will take the initiative to do this.
When you don’t know where the enemy is or where the breakthrough is, shrinking the front line and consolidating your own defense is the best strategy.
The cultivators present were assigned tasks immediately. Half of them were good at detecting and left Tianjing again and scattered to open and secret inspections across the country to see the degree of suffering of the people, see how much food there is in the warehouses in various places, and do a survey and statistics.
At the same time, the temples and Taoist temples passing by should also be investigated together. The temples and Taoist temples that are tax-free are often also great landlords and rich people. They are all under the jurisdiction of Master Lin Tian and Master Wei. The cultivators who go to various places are considered special envoys of Master Tian and have jurisdiction over them.
If the government cannot count on its power, they are considered spare tires.
There are not many cultivators on the second night of the lunar calendar, but after all, they are doing things for the court, and immediately allocated 3,000 horses from the Royal Horse Farm to serve as foot strength for a Taoist priest. This is the benefit of leaning on the court.
The cultivator in the fairy world had nothing to say about riding skills. He also knew that the situation was urgent and could not be delayed. He quickly prepared wine, food and food in the Sifang Pavilion and left Tianjing...
The remaining half of the people are mostly skilled, such as those who are good at drawing arrays, civil engineering techniques, and planting and cultivating spiritual seedlings. They work with Xiao Ling's friends to study drought resistance.
In addition, whether they are left behind or going out, they have another important task!
