Chapter 1216: The Great Drought (1st Update)
Li Chengkong said: "Yuzheng, you have not been able to restrain them, in fact, you are right. ”
Song Yuzheng squinted at him: "You're not talking back, are you?"
"Even if you are angry, you do not use your imperial power to suppress you. Li Chengkong smiled: "This is the most important, and it is very well done." ”
The emperor was angry, and the blood drifted for ten miles, this is the emperor's authority.
But Song Yuzheng, as the emperor, did not use this kind of power to oppress people, which made a good start.
Once the emperor wields his power, all the ministers will be afraid, and they will stay away from it without helping.
Under the detachment from morality, how can we govern the world with our hearts? Each has its own little abacus, and in the end, the emperor becomes a single husband, and how can he rule the world alone?
Grace and power, fairness and strictness, these eight words are easy to say, but extremely difficult to do.
As the emperor, Song Yuzheng does not reward and punish with his own joy and anger, and obviously hates these ministers to the root of his teeth, but without a handle, he can only endure his hatred and slowly circulate, which is very anti-human.
Song Yuzheng said: "This is also learned from Sister Dugu. ”
The two daughters have had a lot of exchanges, and they have a lot of experience in governing the world and dealing with the ministers.
Song Yuzheng was deeply touched and influenced.
In particular, the imperial power should not be used lightly, the imperial power is like the sword of the Son of Heaven hanging high above the head, and the most powerful time is when it hangs but does not fall.
Once it falls, it is less deterrent, and the more times it falls, the less deterrent it is.
Therefore, even though she hated them so much that she wanted to kill them, she had no handle, and they still endured it when they did not violate the law.
As an emperor, she needs to take the lead in maintaining the majesty of the law and strengthening the majesty of the law, so that the people's hearts can be calmed and orderly.
"But you can't just be soft. Li Chengkong smiled: "Don't think about overcoming rigidity with softness, you are the emperor now." ”
Song Yuzheng frowned at him.
Li Chengkong said: "Can you do a big inspection, from top to bottom?" Corruption and felonies, they can't stop checking them, but what about their families, or their relatives and friends?"
Song Yuzheng hesitated.
Li Chengkong smiled: "If you can stop it? The ultimate in integrity? Then there is nothing to say. ”
"If you find their relatives and friends? What about the family and children?"
"Then of course it will be according to the law. Li Chengkong said: "How to punish and how to punish, must not be tolerated." ”
"...... like this"
"If they find out the problem, their majesty will be struck? How weak is the ability to call for wind and rain? They can be honest. ”
"I'm afraid I won't be able to find out the problem. Song Yuzheng shook his head and said, "They will become more and more proud and rampant!"
Li Chengkong smiled: "If this is the case, what if they are rampant?"
"Well, that's so. Song Yuzheng nodded slowly.
"Let Purple Smoke help you? Cooperate with the Imperial Court's Inspection Division. ”
"Candle Yin Division in the martial arts? Can you find out about the imperial court?"
"Now the candlestick is not the candlestick that it used to be. Li Chengkong shook his head and said, "It's getting bigger and bigger?" Eyes and ears are everywhere. ”
"That's about teaching. Song Yuzheng said with a smile.

Nanwangfu Annex
Li Chengkong was sitting in the small pavilion in the courtyard? A scroll in one hand? Pick up a piece of pastry in one hand and put it in your mouth.
At this time? In the faint fragrance, Dugu Shuming floated in lightly and sat opposite him.
Li Chengkong put down the book and said with a smile: "Madame is on duty?"
"I heard that Sister Song wants to abdicate?" Dugu Shuming asked directly.
Li Chengkong glanced at Yuan Ziyan.
Yuan Ziyan turned his head away, pretending not to see his gaze.
"Is it true?" Dugu Shuming said, "What do you see Ziyan doing!"
"She's just a whim? Now I have changed my mind. Li Chengkong retracted his gaze? smiled at Dugu Shuming.
"Sister Song seems to have reached her limit. Dugu Shuming shook his head lightly and sighed: "I can't hold it." ”
Li Chengkong nodded.
The pressure on the emperor was enormous? Still want to restrain yourself? It is even more uncomfortable to prevent the pressure from leaking.
"What did you say, sir?"
"I came up with an idea for her, a big patrol. ”
"She's not on a solid footing? If there is such a big trouble, aren't you afraid that the ministers will join forces to oppose it?"
"If they're not stupid, they won't dare. ”
"For the sake of a position of power, no matter how smart a person is, he will be confused, and he will be confused. ”
"That's just right. ”
"Husband, your intentions are really ruthless. Dugu Shuming shook his head.
Li Chengkong said with a smile: "Madam and Yuzheng, you are too kind, you need to be both rigid and soft, and it is not reasonable to blindly be gentle." ”
"Alas......" Dugu Shuming shook his head: "It's not easy for them, they work hard and exhaust their efforts. ”
Li Chengkong said with a smile: "Madam, you are already a monarch and a minister on your side, and you are harmonious, but the jade zither is not successful here." ”
The courtiers of Dayue were shocked because of their own shock and completely rested their thoughts that they shouldn't have, so they were able to settle down, and they felt that it was not bad to have such a benevolent emperor, even if it was a female emperor.
The big cloud is not yet successful.
Song Yuzheng's deterrent power was still a little worse, and there was no way to make them completely surrender, so he secretly competed.
"Alas......" Dugu Shuming shook his head and said, "It's not easy to be an emperor. ”
Li Chengkong said: "There is more difficult, madam, and pay attention, there will be a big drought in the big moon this year." ”
"Great drought?"
"A great drought unseen in a century. Li Chengkong's expression gradually became solemn: "I'm afraid that the current Dayue is unable to bear it." ”
Dugu Shuming's face also became serious.
Although the imperial court had a Qin Tianjian who was responsible for observing celestial phenomena and predicting bad luck, she believed in Li Chengkong's observations more.
"How dry will it be?"
"If you don't take precautions, I'm afraid you won't get anything. Li Chengkong shook his head: "Now we have to start building the canal." ”
As his understanding of the power of heaven and earth deepened, his stargazing and sense of heaven and earth also became stronger.
I couldn't see the drought before, but now I can see it.
"Repair the canal ......" Dugu Shuming frowned lightly.
Yuan Ziyan said: "Madam, it's a good thing to repair the canal, it's good for the country and the people, and the people won't object, right?"
Dugu Shuming shook his head lightly: "The cost of repairing the canal is huge, and the imperial court often allocates a hundred taels of silver, and after layers of exploitation, only ten taels fall to the canal, and the treasury does not have much silver now." ”
"Madam, your idea won't hit the silver of our palace, will you?" Li Chengkong said with a smile.
"If it is apportioned to the people, I am afraid that there will be complaints and public opinion. Dugu Shuming frowned and said, "So I can only borrow silver." ”
"It is better to borrow from the people. Li Chengkong said: "Issue treasury bonds." ”
He talked about the national debt in his previous life, and Dugu Shuming nodded again and again, thoughtfully.
Yuan Ziyan said with a smile: "Master, you are also stingy, what about lending money to Mrs. ”
Li Chengkong snorted: "The whole country is repairing canals, how can our small palace be able to hold it?"
Dugu Shuming nodded and said: "That's true, you still have to use the national debt, or the court borrows money from the people." ”
Yuan Ziyan glanced at Li Chengkong, pursed his lips and smiled.
The wealth of Nanwangfu is not as much as people think, it is much more than that, and it is countless.
There is a jade mine in Nanwangfu, and there is not only a jade mine, although the lord used a lot of jade, most of it was sold.
This is an astonishing fortune, not to mention that there are some other mines besides jade.
Not to mention outsiders, even the master of the Candle Yin Division can't figure out how much silver there is in the Nanwang Mansion.
"Pen and ink. Li Cheng said emptyly.
Yuan Ziyan hurriedly got up and went to the house to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, grinding the inkstone with her jade hands, and then laid out the paper, picked up the pen with both hands and handed it to Li Chengkong.
Li Chengkong took the pen, and the pen walked the dragon and snake, and a map was quickly presented in front of the three people.
