Listen to what Zhao Chongyuan said.
The expressions on the faces of everyone present gradually became silent.
Dry water.
This is why the name of Daqian came from this.
A long river that flows through most of the territory of Daqian.
It has been known as the mother river since ancient times.
This is true whether it was the previous dynasty or this dynasty.
It is the mother river, which naturally has a gentle side and a cruel side.
Every time the summer rains come, the dry water will rise.
Although there have been efforts to control it in all dynasties, the danger of dam failure cannot be avoided.
And now the rainy season is approaching.
The water has risen in the upper reaches of the dry water basin.
If we don't make preparations in advance, we don't know how many people will be displaced.
"What your Majesty said, the old minister and others naturally have no objection. However, although the water in the main water basin, especially in the lower reaches of Yu and Qing, is rising, the dams have been in disrepair for a long time. Now that the rainy season is approaching, the water in the upper reaches has already risen. If it rains The coming force is fierce, and if those levees are not reinforced early, I am afraid they will not be able to escape the danger of collapse this year."
After listening to Zhao Chongyuan's words, Yang Fu thought for a long time and finally said.
This veteran of three dynasties in Daqian.
The reason why he was able to survive through three dynasties without falling was that he never took sides, and the other was that he was devoted to the people.
Therefore, even after Zhao Chongyuan ascended the throne for so many years, he has relied heavily on him.
As Yang Fu spoke, Ye Liancheng, who was sitting next to Yang Fu, also spoke: "What Mr. Yang Ge said is true. Dry water falls from the sky into the sea, flows through the Xiaoying Sea, and finally pours into my Daqian territory. The junction of Qing and Yang flows into the sea. Although the rainy season has not yet arrived in Dagan, the upper reaches of Ganshui and Xiaoyinghai are already being flooded with lake water. Although His Majesty has made arrangements in advance, and the officials of the River Governor's Yamen have also been prepared, But it’s hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice.”
At this point, Ye Liancheng did not continue.
After Yang Fu and Ye Liancheng spoke, Zhou Shan naturally did not speak again.
Sitting aside calmly.
Look at the attitudes of the three cabinets.
Zhao Chongyuan naturally understood the meaning.
Simply speaking, it means asking for money.
If it were in the past, he would still be in a bit of trouble.
But after confiscating all the property of Zhou, Li, Chen, Qian, and the four major families.
I still have this money
Especially in the past few days, the suppression of the Qingzhou and Yizhou aristocratic families has made a lot of money.
Therefore, the money for disaster relief this year.
He, Zhao Chongyuan, had already prepared everything.
The only thing that worries him is whether the money will really be used where it should be used if it is distributed.
Thinking of this, Zhao Chongyuan looked at the cabinet ministers present and said: "As you all said, I already know that the money needed for disaster relief has been ordered by people from the Ministry of Household Affairs to count it out, and then it will be sent to the officials of the river yamen in various places. However, corruption in river management has been common over the years, and what I am worried about is whether the money can be used to its proper use."
Listen to what Zhao Chongyuan said.
Yang Fu, Ye Liancheng, and Zhou Shan all fell silent.
They looked at each other but didn't speak.
Watch this scene.
Zhao Chongyuan was not in a hurry and just sat quietly on the main seat.
The purpose of calling these people here today is to let these three people express their stance.
In the past, the state treasury was empty.
In the past, when the treasury was empty, it was necessary to rely on the efforts of a few disciples and old officials. As long as it was not excessive, he would turn a blind eye to some corruption.
Now is the time to go under the knife.
Yang Fu sat leisurely aside, looking at his heart with his eyes and his ears with his nose, as if he was not among them.
Ye Liancheng and Zhou Shan frowned.
After thinking for a long time, the two of them looked at Yang Fu in unison.
The old master then stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I thought this matter would be easy to handle. Corruption was common in the past because local officials were in cahoots with local aristocratic families. Officials sent by the imperial court , When you get there, you restrain your hands and feet, for fear of offending someone you shouldn’t offend.”
Having said this, Yang Fu glanced at Ye Liancheng and Zhou Shan meaningfully.
When Yang Fu looked at them, the expressions on their faces suddenly became a little unnatural, but they quickly returned to normal.
Then I heard Yang Fu continue to say: "But this year is different. Your Majesty summoned the princes to the capital. It is the time for the princes to contribute to the country, and they all have many years of experience in managing the fiefdoms, so if they are sent Princes, if you go down, I think we can avoid what happened in the past."
Glancing at Yang Fu, Zhao Chongyuan wondered if he was acting the same way: "I'm afraid it's not appropriate for the prince to go down there."
After saying that, he glanced at Ye Liancheng and Zhou Shan again.
The two looked at the gaze cast by Zhao Chongyuan.
How can I still not understand.
Ye Liancheng said quickly: "It's appropriate, it's appropriate."
Zhou Shan also said: "Of course it is appropriate."
"Why don't you two tell me which prince is suitable? There are currently three princes in the capital, King Qin, King Yan, and King Jin. Which one do you think is suitable?"
Zhao Chongyuan asked with a smile.
"That is of course His Highness Prince Jin."
Ye Liancheng said with a smile.
"I think King Qin is suitable."
Zhou Shan also said with a sullen face.
As soon as these words came out.
Zhao Chongyuan suddenly cursed secretly in his heart, they are both old foxes.
Ye Liancheng was the uncle of Zhao Gang, King of Qin. Naturally, he did not recommend Zhao Gang to avoid talents. Zhou Shanze and Lu Guogong Qian Song had an eye-catching relationship, and he could be regarded as a half-supporter of Zhao Heng.
Now the two are recommending each other.
The meaning is naturally obvious.
However, Zhao Chongyuan saw through it without saying anything. He looked at Yang Fu and asked: "Who does the old master think is more suitable?"
"Your Majesty's Sacred Heart is arbitrary, and he naturally has the right person in his heart. How can I know who is more suitable among the three princes when I am old and blind?"
Yang Fu said with a careless smile.
Zhao Chongyuan was heard rolling his eyes.
A non-stick pan is, after all, a non-stick pan.
Not a word of truth came out of his mouth.
After thinking for a long time, Zhao Chongyuan said with a smile: "I think King Yan is suitable. What do you think?"
As soon as these words came out, both Ye Liancheng and Zhou Shan were shocked.
Only, Yang Fu showed a hint of surprise on his face.
"Why do you think Prince Yan is not suitable?"
Zhao Chongyuan pretended to be surprised.
Listen to what Zhao Chongyuan said.
Ye Liancheng and Zhou Shan's expressions suddenly turned bitter, but they still replied respectfully: "That is of course appropriate."
The three princes did not need the King of Qin or the King of Jin. They only found a King of Yan who did not have any maternal power.
Zhao Chongyuan's meaning was already obvious.
With their eyesight, they couldn't see what this was for.
But even if he could see it, he didn't dare to say anything.
I can only nod in agreement.
But the only thing that made them curious was why Zhao Chongyuan chose King Yan.
Among the many princes in Daqian, King Yan does not seem to be an outstanding person.
There are many princes who can replace King Yan.
For example, King Zhao Hua of Han is one of them!
