Chapter 1011: Early Dynasty (2)
"Heavy snow falls, as the saying goes, the snow is a good year. The snow has many benefits, but it has also brought me some worries. The first thing I want to talk about today is about the relief and pacification of Jingxi Road. After this heavy snowfall, what worries me the most is the livelihood settlement of Jingxi Road. The stakes are so high that I couldn't sleep last night thinking about it. ”
When the discussion in the audience gradually subsided, Guo Chong spoke. All the ministers also nodded. As a matter of fact, when it snowed heavily, the first thing that came to mind for many officials in the DPRK and China was the issue of Jingdong West Road. There was a rebellion against the Qingjiao, and it was said that the situation was very bad. If it is not handled properly, it will freeze to death and starve to death, it will cause a large-scale rebellion of displaced people, and it will even be taken advantage of by the remnants of the Qingjiao, inducing a new round of chaos. Guo Chong's words spoke to their hearts.
"Yes, this matter has to be handled properly, and it can't be taken lightly."
"It's a bit out of place when this heavy snow falls. The people of Jingxi Road have suffered. ”
The crowd began to talk to each other again.
"Where is Lin Jue?" Guo Chong shouted.
Lin Jue was already ready to go out to deal with it, and when he mentioned the matter of Jingxi Road, Lin Jue knew that he was going to prepare to be listed.
"The minister is here!" Lin Jue walked out quickly and stepped forward to salute.
Guo Chong nodded and looked at Lin Jue below, and said with a smile: "Lin Jue, you are the pacification envoy of Jingxi Jingxi Road, and you have the most right to speak about the pacification and relief of Jingxi Jingxi Road." Many people are just as worried about the relief of Jingxi Road after the heavy snowfall, and whether there will be chaos. You'll need to explain it to me and my ministers. ”
Lin Jue said in a deep voice: "The minister obeys the order." Your Majesty, Your Excellency. The sudden arrival of the heavy snow, the snow and the cold weather, are indeed a little unprepared. However, this heavy snowfall is also expected. It is ferocious, but not as fast as ours. Yesterday I had to appease the deputy envoy Yang Xiu's flying pigeon to report it. Before the heavy snow fell, the first batch of relief food and supplies had arrived safely in Yingtianfu. Heavy snow did not stop my food convoy from arriving. This means that the stability of millions of people in Yingtianfu will be guaranteed. ”
"Wow, I'm worried that I'm stuck on the way, but I didn't expect it to be before the snow falls. It's good, it's good. However, the food and supplies only arrived in Yingtianfu, and the heavy snow could not disperse the state capitals, which is probably also a problem. Although Ying Tianfu has a population of one million, Ying Tianfu can be stable to ensure the basic stability of Jingdong West Road, but the local government cannot ignore it. Guo Chong said.
Lin Jue bowed and said: "What the emperor said is very true, the minister discussed with Yang Xiu, and in view of the heavy snowy weather, the minister decided to implement a centralized relief policy. ”
"Oh? What is a Centralized Relief Policy? Guo Chong asked.
"The minister wants to take Yingtianfu, Heunginfu, and Jeju Mansion as the three centralized relief points, so that the three cities can radiate the surrounding states and counties, and can cover ninety percent of the people on Jingxi Road. The specific method is to open the three cities as shelters, allow the surrounding people to enter the city for temporary resettlement, and concentrate on receiving the distribution of food and materials. In this way, it is immediately convenient for the distribution of food and materials, and there is no need to be too scattered and concentrate a large number of manpower. It can also solve the problem of difficult allocation and distribution of food materials in the current situation. In other words, the minister only had to transport relief materials to these three cities. The official road connecting the three cities will allow relief supplies to reach the people. Lin Jue replied in a deep voice.
"Well, that's a good idea. The distribution of relief materials to the villages and towns in the prefectures and counties is the most difficult part, so this most difficult link can indeed be omitted. Very good, I think it's good. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of Lin Jue's approach? Guo Chong nodded again and again.
"What an idea, Lord Lin has really worked hard, this method is absolutely effective. The selected three cities are also distributed in the southeast and west directions, covering most of the east and west roads in Beijing. ”
"Yes, this can avoid the inconvenience caused by heavy snow and road closures, and it will be difficult for food supplies to reach various states and counties. And more importantly, it can avoid someone taking the opportunity to deduct the card. You must know that at this time, food and materials are life, and many people will risk the world's condemnation to fight the idea of these materials, grain and grass. ”
"Hmm,...... Really creative. This Lin Jue does have some skills. ”
The officials nodded their heads and buzzed.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a doubt. I want to ask Lord Lin. Suddenly, someone shouted.
Everyone's eyes turned to that person, but it was Vice Prime Minister Wu Chunlai.
"Wu Aiqing, if you have any doubts, just say it." Guo Chong nodded and asked.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wu Chunlai turned to Lin Jue and arched his hand: "This official wants to ask Lord Lin, Lord Lin's intention is to concentrate on relief, which will indeed reduce a lot of trouble, and can also achieve the purpose of relief, this is a smart approach." But has Lord Lin thought about it, the three cities are concentrated on relief, aren't these three cities overcrowded? How are these influxes managed? Is there a place in the city for them to live? In this kind of cold weather, if the settlement is not good, the people gathered together will be the source of trouble. Once the chaos starts, it will give them a chance to get together. This kind of chaos can be a hundred times more fierce than the chaos in small counties and towns in the local area. Has Lord Lin considered the huge hidden dangers in this? ”
Everyone took a breath of cool air. The situation that Wu Chunlai said is indeed worrying. Pooling relief also gives the people a reason to come together. If the settlement and relief are not well received and the people are induced, it will really lead the wolf into the house, and the entire city will suffer. Everyone understands the danger of the people gathering together, and it is indeed very risky to do so.
Guo Chong also frowned and fell into deep thought. When Wu Chunlai said this, he also felt that this was a huge hidden danger.
Lin Jue's face remained unchanged, and he smiled: "What Vice Minister Wu said is not unreasonable. But that's just a concern. As long as it is properly handled, there will be no such risks. As far as I know, the three cities of Yingcheonfu Heungin and Jeju are all big cities and have a lot of space. The three cities all need to accommodate the space of many people, and they only need to plan well and let the people in the city settle in a centralized manner. ”
"What you say is not convincing, what is the right thing to do? It's useless to talk about it. Lord Lin is now a pacification envoy of the imperial court, and he has a great responsibility on his shoulders, so he can't talk about it. Wu Chunlai said coldly.
Lin Jue smiled: "I'm not talking about it, I have specific measures, but I think it's a little inappropriate to take up a lot of time in the court, after all, it takes a lot of effort to talk about it, I'm worried that the emperor and your lords will be impatient to listen." ”
"What is this called? This is a court discussion, and what is discussed is what to do and what specific measures are. What does it mean to be impatient? In the spirit of being responsible for the country, no one will be impatient. You don't have to use these words to prevaricate, say specific measures, and reassure the emperor and the ministers. Wu Chunlai frowned and shouted.
Lin Jue smiled: "Do you really want to say it?" Then I'll take up your precious time. Originally, this relief was the matter of me, the pacification envoy, and I only reported it to the emperor. But since Vice Minister Wu is so interested, then I will expand on it. ”
Guo Chong smiled and said: "Lin Jue, you can talk about it, and let the Zhongqing listen to it and make suggestions." ”
Lin Jue nodded and said in a deep voice: "Vice Minister Wu is nothing more concerned about the problem that the people may gather and cause chaos. I can only say that Vice Minister Wu does not understand the current situation on Jingdong West Road. Since the rebellion of the Qingjiao, I have been traveling around Jingxi Road for more than a month, on the one hand to appease the people, and on the other hand, to eliminate the remnants of the cult bandits and eliminate the residual poison of the cult bandits. I dare to say that my understanding of the situation on Jingxi Road is much clearer than that of Vice Minister Wu. ”
Wu Chunlai frowned and said, "What are you talking about?" You are a pacifier, and if you don't know more than I do, what is it? Lu Xiangyang, the privy secretary and even the emperor don't know as much about Jingdong West Road as you, so what? I don't mean you want to say that. ”
Lin Jue smiled: "If you don't understand, you don't have the right to speak, what I want to say is this." Since Vice Minister Wu does not know the current situation of Jingdong West Road, and does not understand the general psychology of the people on Jingdong West Road, he cannot draw conclusions at will. What I can tell you is that the people of Jingxi Road have suffered from the poison of the Qingjiao, and they also have a deep hatred for the Qingjiao. It is true that there are still remnants of the Qingjiao, and the remnants of the cult are still poisonous, but they and like lost dogs only dare to operate underground and dare not openly show it. Because as soon as they show up, they will be ruthlessly suppressed by us. All the people want now is to live a stable life. When I toured the states and counties, they also expressed this intention. Therefore, as long as the relief and pacification of the imperial court are in place, nothing will happen. This is the first thing I explain to Lord Wu and all of you, that is, a correct understanding of what the people are thinking about at the moment on Jingxi Road. We must not treat the people of Jingxi and West Roads as aliens on the spot, thinking that they are all remnants of bandits who will rise up and rebel at any time. That's not fair and it's not good for the idea of solving the problem. ”
Wu Chunlai sneered: "Ridiculous! How is it convincing that you say that you do not rule out the possibility of chaos, but you give a conjecture that it will not happen? If there is chaos and social turmoil, you can't afford to take this responsibility. ”
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Vice Minister Wu is also anxious, I just said a premise, so that the emperor and the adults have a general understanding." The specific measures have not yet been said, why should Vice Minister Wu buckle a big hat for me. I can't afford it. ”
"Lin Jue, if you have any specific protection methods, just say it. I'd like to hear about it, too. Guo Chong said in a deep voice.
Lin Jue arched his hand and said, "Obey." Ministers naturally have safeguards. First of all, the people who went to the city to receive relief were also organized, and they were by no means chaotic and chaotic. The ministers will let the local officials organize and lead the team in a centralized manner, and each prefecture, county, town, and village will form its own team, and each will be responsible for it. To put it bluntly, each manages its own people, and after entering the city, it is settled in pieces, and it has nothing to do with each other. Rather than simply gathering in one place and causing chaos. By bringing into play the role of local officials at all levels, management will be much simpler. Secondly, in order to avoid disturbing the dissatisfaction and chaos of the people in the city, the people who entered the city would be resettled separately and would not disturb the order in the city. ”
