[Future Events]: Barbarian invasion, demonic rebellion, Little Ice Age, Nine Netherworld attack, Black Lotus Demon Lord, Road to Heaven...
"Simulation begins..."
[Simulating future events·Little Ice Age...]
The next moment, everything in front of her changed. The mist in the sky rose, and countless light spots symbolizing destiny passed through her eyes, as bright as a meteor shower.
This time, the perspective is still her own. She is wearing a dragon robe and sitting on a dragon chair. There are memorials in front of her, almost filling the table in the imperial study room.
[The weather is strangely cooling, with snow falling in June, and the temperature plummeting. A small town in the north is strangely frozen into an ice city, and the people are hungry and cold...]
[You summon all the ministers to the Jinluan Palace to discuss this matter. 】
[You: It’s snowing in June? An unprecedented anecdote... Guys, how do you think we should deal with it? 】
[You: Minister of the Ministry of Finance, you come first! 】
[The Minister of Household Affairs came out tremblingly: Your Majesty... Your Majesty, the extremely cold air came suddenly. I really... have no choice! ! 】
【Snapped! ! 】
[You slammed the table angrily and yelled: Is there no way? Is this your...Shang Shu's answer? I didn't ask you to take responsibility, I just asked you, how to solve it? Are you old and dim? Can't you understand what I say? 】
[The Minister of Household Affairs knelt down directly: Your Majesty, I believe that we should immediately provide disaster relief, allocate money, purchase materials, and help the people survive the severe winter...]
[You took a deep breath: I ask you, do you know how many cities in the world are affected by disasters now? How many people died? 】
[Shang Shu of the Ministry of Household Affairs: This...this...back to Your Majesty, I am still compiling the statistics of various states and counties...the specific figures...]
[You: Waste! ! It has been more than ten days since the incident happened, and you are still summarizing it. Is my efficiency so low? Or are there people with wine bags and rice bags occupying the position and not doing anything? I ask you, when the news came to you, did you handle it as soon as possible? 】
[The Minister of Household Affairs is sweating profusely: Chen... Chen...]
[You: Let me ask you again, if the news from various states, counties and counties cannot be conveyed, can you urge them as soon as possible to report the disaster situation? 】
[The Minister of the Ministry of Finance sweated like rain, and murmured for a long time, but was still speechless: I...]
[Your tone becomes colder: Let me tell you that the number of people affected by the disaster nationwide exceeds 670,000, and more than 116 counties and counties were seriously affected. The most serious ones were border towns. 190,000 people died in Shanguan City. No one survived. 】
[The body of the Minister of Hubu trembled slightly. He knew very well that the emperor knew it. As the Minister of Hubu, he knew nothing about the disaster situation. He was dead! ! 】
[You: Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, are you really derelict in your duties? 】
[Shang Shu of the Ministry of Revenue: I deserve to die for my crime, please spare my life, Your Majesty...]
[You waved your hand: Someone, drag me down! ! 】
[The dragon guard came in and dragged the Minister of the Ministry of Finance down. 】
[Your Majesty, Your Majesty... I have no merit but hard work. Please spare my life! ! I know I am wrong, I know I am wrong...]
[Under the sound of begging for mercy, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance was dragged down. 】
[The remaining ministers were as silent as cicadas. They all lowered their heads and said nothing, looking at their noses and their hearts. 】
[Only Zhou Zhenwen looked calm, as if he had known this result for a long time...]
"This Zhou Zhenwen..."
"Is he really confident?"
"Or do you already have a method in mind?"
Empress Liang Zhao looked at the expressions of the ministers one by one through the perspective of the simulator, and immediately discovered Zhou Zhenwen's unusual calmness.
The simulator screen changes again, and you speak...
[You: Bachelor Zhou, what do you think? 】
[Zhou Zhenwen stepped forward and walked out of the queue of ministers, holding the court board: I believe that we should appease the people as soon as possible and allocate funds from the national treasury to relieve the victims...]
[Exactly the same, almost no different from the answer given by the Minister of the Ministry of Finance who was just dragged away. 】
[The faces of the ministers changed slightly, and their hearts were greatly shaken. They thought, how brave is Zhou Shoufu? Aren't you afraid of His Majesty's wrath? 】
[You: What good ideas does Zhou Shoufu have? 】
【Huh? 】
[His Majesty the Emperor is not angry? 】
[The ministers were also stunned and looked up at Emperor Xuan in disbelief. 】
[Zhou Zhenwen said unhurriedly: Your Majesty, the northern regions should gradually give up and move the people to the warmer south. At the same time, they should strengthen the production and procurement of cold-proof things to help the people move. Extreme cold weather cannot be solved in a day. To solve the problem, we must be prepared to deal with a more severe cold environment. When necessary, build towns underground, move underground to live, and completely abandon the ground...]
【What? 】
[As soon as these words came out, everyone in the court was shocked! ! 】
[They didn’t expect Zhou Zhenwen to say such a thing? 】
[It’s not that extreme cold weather has never happened before. In Baiguan’s impression... although the weather is bitterly cold, you can always get through it with a series of warm things such as charcoal fires, quilts, cotton wool, etc. What did Zhou Zhenwen say? 】
[Abandon the Northern Territories? 】
[Let the people move southward? 】
[When necessary... build a town underground and be ready to move underground at any time? 】
[This... this is too nonsense, right? 】
[Are you kidding me? 】
[The ministers looked at Zhou Zhenwen one after another, as if they were looking at a fool, and they almost said directly, Are you afraid that you are suffering from hysteria? Do you know what you are talking about? 】
[However, what the ministers did not expect was that Emperor Xuan did not get angry and severely criticized Zhou Zhenwen. Instead, he said: Bachelor Zhou, can things really go this far? 】
[Zhou Zhenwen is still calm: Your Majesty, if you don’t have long-term worries, you will have immediate worries. It concerns the people of the country. We can’t afford to bet. Maybe the extreme cold weather will disappear in a month, maybe the extreme cold weather will disappear in a year, or maybe the extreme cold weather will disappear. It will last for more than ten years. According to the current situation, it is almost certain that crops and food will decrease sharply. If this continues, if underground space is not opened up, once the extreme cold weather sweeps across the wilderness, it will be a hell on earth! ! No one can be alone! ! 】
[You: So you are preparing for the future. The underground project may not be useful after it is implemented, right? 】
[Zhou Zhenwen generously admitted: Yes, but even if it is useless, time-consuming, laborious, and a waste of manpower and material resources, I still insist on proceeding. Even if there is only one ten thousandth chance, I still think it should be done... I think it should be done... In this world, many things should not be done just for the sake of doing them... It concerns the people of the whole country. Even if it is wrong, I am willing to be the sinner... Even though there are thousands of people, I am alone. That's it...]
[You: This matter... I still need to think about it...]
[Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible! ! 】
[A minister came out, holding a court board, and said loudly. 】
[This person is surprisingly Deng Yukai, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites! 】
