As soon as these words came out, the silent court instantly exploded!
"What? Deportation?"
"Did I hear that right?"
"Guanzhong is suffering from a drought that has never happened in a century!"
"All the local crops have withered, and the local granaries have long since run out of food left!"
"I heard that even the biggest landowner in the Guanzhong area has run away!"
"Now asking these people to return to Guanzhong is equivalent to forcing them to a dead end!"
"I didn't expect that the Prime Minister, who has always cared about the people of the world, could actually say such official words about why he shouldn't eat minced meat..."
Emperor Liang was also a little puzzled: "Why did the Prime Minister say this?"
"As far as I know, in the areas in Guanzhong where the drought is most severe, there is no food left at all."
"Even if there is rain from the sky, the people will not be able to harvest immediately after they return!"
"You can only eat and wait to die!"
"Why not let them temporarily settle in the city-state where they fled, and then return to Guanzhong when the weather is good in the coming year?"
Cheng Xun recalled what Song Huan said and repeated what Song Huan explained that day.
"Since we are repatriating refugees, we must ensure that they bring enough food to survive the three months of winter when there is no harvest."
"During these three months, the imperial court can send a group of hydraulic workers to help the people in Guanzhong dig canals and divert water for irrigation."
"With a certain amount of water storage, local people no longer have to be so afraid of drought."
"At the same time, the local state government should also encourage people to plant more trees to solve the root cause of the problem of insufficient rainfall!"
"And encourage local people to cultivate and promote drought-resistant crops to reduce the impact of drought on agriculture."
"In this way, the problem of frequent droughts in Guanzhong will be gradually solved!"
As he spoke, Cheng Xun looked at Emperor Liang and was quite moved: "Droughts occur frequently in Guanzhong and people are displaced. Although natural disasters are the main reason, how the court guides the people is the real top priority!"
"Once the refugees who have escaped from Guanzhong are resettled, they will never want to return to their homeland where droughts occur frequently."
"As time goes by, the once lush scenery of Guanzhong will be gone forever!"
“Only by solving the problem at its root can we completely prevent this kind of phenomenon from happening again!”
Hearing this, Emperor Liang couldn't help but nod in praise.
"The Prime Minister is so far-sighted!"
"Such a solution is something I have never thought of."
"No, don't say it's me!"
"Even our predecessors have never thought of it!"
Cheng Xun's face was full of humility and he bowed: "Your Majesty, I dare not hide it!"
"Such a good plan is actually not something I can think of."
"The person who really came up with this method is Prince Rong!"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Song Huan at this moment!
"What? Is this what Prince Rong thought of?"
"How did Prince Rong come up with this method? It is simply unprecedented..."
"Yes! How could Prince Rong come up with such an insightful solution at such a young age?"
"As expected of the most respected prince by His Majesty now, Prince Rong's true knowledge and insights are indeed not something that other princes can compete with!"
"Not to mention that the current second and third princes, even the former deposed prince, can't even compare to him..."
When Emperor Liang heard this, he looked at Song Huan in shock and surprise.
"Fourth, did you come up with this?"
Song Huan was a little embarrassed by this look: "My son came up with it."
"I just came up with these solutions with a people-oriented attitude and an attitude of solving the problem at its root."
"No big deal!"
Seeing that Song Huan was so humble, all the courtiers did not hesitate to praise him.
"Prince Rong is so humble!"
"Prince Rong not only has unique ideas, but also values the people, and his attitude is extremely humble!"
"Having such young talents is truly a blessing to the country and the country!"
Whether true or false, the courtiers all praised Song Huan.
However, there was only one person who always had a gloomy face, said nothing, and seemed so out of tune with everything around him!
Sun Shutong was seen clenching his fists tightly, and the raised veins on his fists were clearly visible.
"Wei Chen thinks that Prince Rong's idea is simply making fun of the lives of the victims!"
Sun Shutong's voice was not loud, but it attracted everyone's attention in an instant.
At this moment, the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony fell into silence.
Song Huan didn't have much impression on the person in front of him. He only knew that this person was neither a member of the Taishi lineup nor a Xu Rong supporter.
It can only be said that he is a waiter with a very low sense of existence.
Unexpectedly, such a minister with almost zero presence would dare to contradict a prince like himself.
To be fair, Song Huan admires his courage!
But the tone of his words really made Song Huan very uncomfortable.
Song Huan is not a self-centered person. Since someone has put forward different opinions, it should be explained clearly and expressed quickly.
"Master Sun, why do you say this?"
Sun Shutong lowered his head slightly, and no one could see the hot and surging anger in his eyes that was like lava.
"Throughout the ages, the way to resettle disaster victims has been to relocate them to nearby city-states and solve them on the spot!"
"The drought in Guanzhong is really a natural disaster."
"Since it is a natural disaster, when it will be stopped is not something that mortals can solve!"
"Give the refugees enough food to sustain them for three months. Will the problem be solved after three months?"
"What if after three months, the severe drought in Guanzhong still has not been resolved?"
Song Huan found it a bit funny, because Cheng Xun just explained so much, but this guy didn't listen to a word of it!
"What if I say that within these three months, the drought problem will definitely be solved?"
Unexpectedly, Sun Shutong laughed sarcastically on the spot, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
"It can definitely be solved?"
"I would like to ask Prince Rong, how can you guarantee that the problem will be solved within three months?"
"Isn't it possible to rely on shamans to divine things and offer sacrifices to the river god to pray for rain?"
"It's too ridiculous!"
As soon as these words came out, they successfully aroused the anger in Song Huan's heart.
I thought that Sun Shutong, who dared to raise objections, must have some better solution.
Unexpectedly, after the quarrel for a long time, this guy was just messing around and finding fault with the eggs!
Isn't this nonsense?
Thinking of this, Song Huan couldn't help but smile softly.
At first, it was just a slight smile.
But in the end, this smile was out of control, causing Song Huan to completely fall into laughter!
Looking at Song Huan who was looking up to the sky and laughing, Sun Shutong felt a little scared in his heart.
"Prince Rong, why are you laughing?"
"Is what Wei Chen said so funny?"
