Chapter 16 Severe Punishment

Li Yuanai was a human being for two generations, familiar with history and the best of human nature.

Nothing can be given blindly, as this will only induce the laziness of others, make people feel that it is rightful, and the acceptance is peaceful, but there will be no gratitude.

The same is true for disaster victims, and they cannot provide relief blindly.

I can eat when I lie on the ground, howling and moaning. Who wouldn’t say a few words?

What's so great if more than 200,000 disaster victims are like this?

Therefore, after implementing the volunteer system, Li Yuanai began to arrange the victims to engage in simple work, building temporary residences, building roads, and picking up wages for himself.

On the one hand, there is insufficient food in hand and lack of confidence. On the other hand, the victims are sick due to irregular diet and hunger, and their bodies cannot afford heavy labor. But even so, they are given the idea that only by working can they obtain the corresponding food.

After the grain and sea fish raised in Yangzhou were transported, Li Yuanai began to rectify the disaster area.

Step by step, until the most serious Suzhou.

They dug up the dam, cleared the sludge and swamp, opened up the connection with Suzhou, and sent life-saving food to Suzhou.

The scene in Suzhou is undoubtedly the most miserable. The flood almost flooded the entire town and the city became ruins. Fortunately, Texas Governor Yuan Gongyu responded well. While arranging people to transport the treasury grain to high places, he directed the people to evacuate, minimizing the losses.

Li Yuanai has always been concerned about the situation in Suzhou and has made the worst plans. However, seeing that Suzhou's casualties are much smaller than he imagined, and he feels much more comfortable, he immediately stated that he wants to show his merits to Yuan Gongyu.

But he soon realized something was wrong.

On this day, Li Yuanai planned to start reconstruction work in Suzhou, personally explore the terrain and landform of Suzhou, and arrived at the downstream of the Bian River and the Suzhou section of the Grand Canal of the Suzhou River in the Suzhou River!

Looking at the completely destroyed water inlet gate, sluice gate and the embankment on the right bank of the canal, Li Yuanai's face turned pale and said nothing.

Yuan Gongyu stood on one side in panic, sweating profusely.

After a long time, Li Yuanai turned around and did not look at Yuan Gongyu, but said to Su Governor Shi Fangchen: "Show me the expenditure on the canal management over the past five years."

In his early years, he personally investigated the Grand Canal, and Suzhou was close to the downstream of the Bian River.

When they first led the Luo River into the Bian River, Bianzhou became the second only to Chang'an and Luoyang, and Suzhou also got a share of the existence.

However, because the Luo River enters Bian, the flow of Bian River has increased significantly, which is a major test for flood control.

In order to control the water flow, Li Yuanai remembered that while he introduced the Bian River into Si Shui and ordered it to flow into the sea, he built a water inlet gate downstream of the Bian River, which is the Suzhou area, to reduce the water flow to control the water flow of the canal.

Li Yuanai's design of the inlet gate and the sluice reduction gate is beyond the times and has a certain resistance to floods. He cannot believe that the sluice reduction gate he designed will collapse as a whole, becoming the main area where the flood floods into Suzhou.

No wonder Suzhou has the most serious disaster, and the water from the Grand Canal has entered Suzhou.

There are only two possible situations. One is that when the inlet gate was built and the reduction gate was reduced, the builder cut corners, which led to today's disaster. The other is that the local government handled it improperly and lacked effective maintenance of the inlet gate and reduction gate.

Fang Chen glanced at Yuan Gongyu tremblingly.

Yuan Gongyu's face was pale, and he knelt down on the ground, shouting in a low voice: "King of Wu forgives his crime."

Li Yuanai said: "What's the crime?"

Yuan Gongyu said in a trembling voice: "The people of Suzhou are poor and have to be renovated. There are too many places that need to be rectified. In order to let the people in the country live a good life earlier, the officials and officials used the funds for managing the river..."

"asshole!"

Li Yuanai was so angry that she kicked her over.

Yuan Gongyu turned around, rolled around in a mess, and continued to bow down and said, "Heaven and Earth are the proof. Gongyu has been in office for many years and has never greedy for a single piece of money. Misappropriation of funds is also for the people's consideration. I hope the King of Wu will observe clearly."

"Think about the people?" Li Yuanai smiled angrily: "I can't even tell the importance of the people, but I still think about the people? Are you an orphan a three-year-old child?"

He had not checked it carefully yet. Perhaps it was as Yuan Gongyu defended himself, and he had not greedy for a single bit of ink, and Li Yuanai did not believe that he was simply for the people.

Yuan Gongyu is not a fool, but a capable person.

This makes people have a bad idea and has much more destructive power than mediocre people.

As early as in Jiangnan, he discovered a situation.

Officials who were originally lazy in government have been particularly fast in recent years.

Once you understand it carefully, you will know the reason.

The temple in Zhenguan Dynasty was stable, the world was peaceful, and there was no room for promotion. As Li Shimin was seriously ill, Li Zhi ascended the throne, and the emperor and the ministers were the same. The rotation of temple officials was inevitable.

At this time, officials who perform well will easily be promoted to the Ministry of Personnel and become the cornerstone of the new dynasty.

Yuan Gongyu had this idea of ​​calling for river management funds to make his resume more glamorous, thus gaining the favor of the emperor and reaching the peak.

As for what will happen in Suzhou in the future? What does it have to do with him, a former governor?

Yuan Gongyu has made great plans to find that in the past few years he was in office, would he encounter such a natural disaster that never happened in a century?

Li Yuanai did not dislike a person with a strong utilitarianism. This person is not a sage. People like Zhou Gong and Zhuge Liang are hard to meet. Shangguan Yi, who was too smart and extremely utilitarianism at the time.

But no matter how selfish Shangguan Yi is, he still has a bottom line. Yuan Gongyu used the funds for river management to embellish his achievements, and he really didn't want any shame.

"Come on! I took Yuan Gongyu's governor's seal and imprisoned him."

When Li Yuanai thought of the disasters in Suzhou that were more likely to be more human-made than natural disasters, he wished he could not help but feel itchy. If he hadn't only had the power to dismiss the appointment and dismissal, he had no power to kill, and even had the idea of ​​cutting off his head and comforting the people of Suzhou.

After some investigation, Li Yuanai was even more angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born.

Yuan Gongyu not only used funds for river management, but also abused his power, opened and switched the sluice gates at will, and abused water resources for the sake of little profit.

It is abused while not maintaining it, so there are no problems.

What made Li Yuanai most uncomfortable was that when he learned that Yuan Gongyu was arrested, many Suzhou people pleaded for him and said good things.

In their opinion, Yuan Gongyu is a good official who loves the people as much as his son.

It was not until Li Yuanai made the things that Yuan Gongyu committed to public that he persuaded the people of Suzhou to retreat.

Li Yuanai reported the matter to Li Zhi, demanding severe punishment of Yuan Gongyu. At the same time, he also made up for the failure of the sheep and proposed that the court set up an organization specifically responsible for managing water conservancy projects, which was specifically responsible for supervising and maintaining water conservancy projects.

Natural disasters cannot be avoided, but man-made disasters should be eliminated as much as possible.

This flood poses too great a threat to the court.

If you don’t come, you will be able to go to the court for half of your life.

Although the flood was controlled this time, as the number one leader of Jiangnan East and the largest grain production base in the Tang Dynasty, he knew in his heart that the court could not recover after two or three years of rest.

It's just right to take this opportunity to stabilize the court!
