Chapter 531 Time is out
"Your Majesty, the ministers are all waiting outside the hall."
Wang Wu walked into the hall quickly, stood behind the emperor, and bowed to him.
"Let them come in!"
The emperor turned around and glanced at the wind and snow stained by Wang Wu's body: "Let the imperial kitchen prepare a few bowls of ginger soup, and you can also drink a bowl."
Wang Wuyi shook, knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
The emperor's eyes flashed slightly, he waved his hand, and turned around and walked into the side hall.
"Me, please see your Majesty."
Soon, several cabinet ministers entered the hall.
"Sit down."
The emperor pointed to the several chairs in the hall.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Several cabinet ministers bowed again and then sat down respectfully.
The emperor put down the memorial in his hand: "How is the process of rebuilding Qianmen Street?"
"There is sufficient material supply in the inner court and it is almost completed."
Chen Qiyu immediately stood up and said.
The emperor nodded, then stood up, and stood in front of the Daheng Qiankun map.
Seeing this, several cabinet ministers looked at each other, stood up one after another, followed closely behind the emperor, looking at the magnificent Daheng Qiankun Picture, they were all a little confused.
"Do you guys remember, in the early years of Chongzhen in the former Ming Dynasty, where were the disasters?"
The emperor still looked at the map and asked.
"Report to Your Majesty, in the early years of Chongzhen of the former Ming Dynasty, the affected areas were mainly concentrated in Mizhi and Fengxiang, Shaanxi. However, the disaster relief was unfavorable that year, which led to the deterioration of the disaster..."
"yes."
The emperor nodded.
"In the early years of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, it was only a drought in several places in Shaanxi. In the second year of Chongzhen, the disaster was almost spread throughout most of Shaanxi, and even affected Shandong. Over the years, the disaster has become more and more serious every year!"
"You must have read this summary of the disaster situation in Zhaowu for the third year."
"Most of the north is under the influence of drought."
"Since the founding of the Great Heng Kingdom, the money and food for disaster relief have increased year by year. This year, the food for disaster relief alone has reached more than four million stones, accounting for one-third of the total annual tax collection!"
Speaking of this, the emperor turned around and looked at the cabinet ministers: "I believe all my dear ministers know that this is the result of not thoroughly carrying out relief."
"If the relief is completely released and the food consumed is increased by one or two million stones, it may be a small amount!"
Several cabinet masters looked heavy, and at this moment, they did not dare to say much.
The emperor turned around and sat down at Long Po:
"In the early years of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, to now, the disaster has not only not stopped for so many years, but has also been getting worse and worse!"
"Several cabinet masters have never thought about any effective measures?"
As soon as this statement was made, the people of Zongdao looked at each other. Then, Liu Qiyuan stood up and bowed to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have discussed with all the ministers, but the court's money and food are really not enough, and I am unable to implement it..."
Hearing this sentence, the emperor frowned, but a nameless fire suddenly surged in his heart!
The court often has no money, and the court always has limited money and food!
But I never thought about how to make the court rich and how to make the court rich!
I only know how to focus on the little wealth that the emperor has worked hard to do!
It is true that these families are also from the country, and he will definitely use them in this country. However, as a major minister of the country, he still always carries the past and craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty and just live by the way!
"In the Ming Dynasty, the world was in ruins and everyone was just living by the way. I don't want to. I will wipe out the world step by step and reform the old and the new little by little!"
"I give you the right to follow me and rebuild the prosperous era. This is difficult, that is difficult!"
"Turn everything to me, then tell me what are you doing?"
"Do you still need a papermaker in Daheng now?"
"Have your majesty calm down!"
The cabinet ministers bowed down, and the eunuchs immediately crawled on the ground, not daring to show up.
The emperor stood up suddenly, his expression was already cold, but then, the emperor forced his anger and paced back and forth for a few steps. After a long silence, the emperor slowly spoke in the fear of everyone: "All get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone also stood up carefully.
The emperor glanced at several cabinet ministers and was still cold: "The natural disasters continue, and the court cannot always passively provide disaster relief. There is so much money and food for disaster relief every year, called labor-for-relief, and no useful project is really created!"
"Now cement has been developed and put into use. Since the effect is good, it can be used to promote it, manage rivers, build water conservancy, and build roads. Work-for-relief in various disaster areas..."
Hearing the emperor's words, the originally heavy expressions of the cabinet ministers all flashed with a hint of strange colors.
The disaster-stricken places are spread all over the world...
If the Ministry of Works has full authority to coordinate, it is to coordinate the work-for-relief matters of the entire Daheng world...
The parents of the cabinet looked different, and they obviously thought of something. The heavy expression on their faces disappeared a little at this moment.
"Disaster relief is inevitable, so we must make the money and food for disaster relief more valuable!"
"After the water conservancy facilities are repaired, the roads are smooth, and the fields are distributed to the people one after another. Only by taking several measures can the people's ability to resist disasters be enhanced..."
"You will first draw up a detailed charter to see how much money and food is needed!"
Chen Qiyu stepped out and bowed to the emperor:
"I dare to ask Your Majesty, is this the case for all disaster areas doing this with labor for relief?"
The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Why, there are still places in Daheng territory that are not Daheng's land? Do disaster relief need to be divided into order?"
"I am talking nonsense! Your Majesty forgives your crime!"
Even so, Chen Qiyu showed joy on his face. After hearing the emperor's words, the ministers all lit up their eyes.
The emperor glanced at the joyful look clearly visible between the eyebrows of several cabinet masters and said in a deep voice: "Every project must be registered and recorded, the cost of the project, the expenses of various expenses, the person in charge and the person involved in the project, and the person in charge must be engraved in the Engineering Office."
"Any project is completed, the account book will be placed in the local county government office, one will be placed in the government office, one will be placed in the office of the Ministry of Revenue, and one will be sent to the inner court for safekeeping!"
"I obey the order."
Several cabinet ministers all bowed.
"Get out and draft the charter as soon as possible. After the New Year, we will implement the new policy of labor-for-relief."
Several cabinet ministers retreated, and the emperor watched as several cabinet ministers walked into the wind and snow outside the hall, and the anger in his heart slowly dissipated.
It was not until several cabinet ministers completely disappeared from their sight that the emperor withdrew his gaze and looked at the Daheng map again.
After a long time, the emperor let out a long sigh, his expression as if he was a little self-mockery.
Over the years, whether he is commanding troops or governing the country, he seems to be taking a different approach or walking a tightrope.
From the beginning, the troops were led by the finances that the Ming Dynasty could not bear at all, to support the strong soldiers who were in the world. Then, when the foundation was not stable, the reform of changing the world began.
Now that the world is a little stable, he can't wait to launch the fundamental national strategies that dynasties in history that may not be able to be completed by generations.
Can a generation really accomplish what can only be accomplished by generations?
The emperor is really uncertain, but he is really anxious.
His generation did not do the things of several generations or completely build the entire framework system. Even if the king of later generations inherited his will and had a great talent, it would be absolutely difficult to continue to accomplish what he wanted to do!
Time is endless!
Chapter completed!
