But changing the course of the Yellow River is not without its benefits. The Yellow River changed its course, and a large amount of sediment created a plain downstream. The North China Plain and the Central Plains are all due to the diversion of the Yellow River.
Also, after the Yellow River changes its course, there will be no major floods in the Yellow River within 500 to nearly a thousand years. It is often the basis for creating a peaceful and prosperous age.
The sediment in the yellowing area continues to accumulate. Gradually, a river channel will be formed, and then the sediment will pile up higher and higher. Once again it became a river in the sky.
Then the Yellow River bursts its banks and changes its course. And so on.
As for governance, let alone the technological level of this world, even in the modern era where science and technology are highly developed in later generations, there is no good way to deal with the Yellow River!
In this world of Red Mansions, the Yellow River has changed its course no fewer than nine times in recorded history. It doesn’t matter whether there is a change of dynasty or not every time. All accompanied by the history of blood and tears of the Chinese nation. No exceptions!
But how could Li Miao stand by and watch, how could he stand by and watch. How could you just watch the land of China being devastated.
As soon as Li Miao learned about the disaster, he issued several Shunfeng family decrees.
Li Miao's power has already begun to operate. A large amount of supplies were transported to the hardest-hit areas in Henan. Li Miao had long lost confidence in the Zheng Dynasty.
Li Miao didn't take any chances. You have to rely on yourself for disaster relief.
Li Miao in the study has already started writing a memorial. It is regarded as a disaster management classic by later generations, "The Imperial Court's Emergency Response to Rescue Henan Disaster Victims".
Li Miao is not a fool, and he will not be an unknown hero. He needs a righteous name. It requires luck and the will of the people. The court needs money. He deserves not a penny less.
The content of "Emergency Procedures for the Imperial Court to Rescue Henan Disaster Victims" is concise. There are no fancy words, just pragmatism. Li Miao knew that the current bank account deposits could not provide disaster relief money at all.
Therefore, "Emergency Procedures for the Imperial Court to Rescue Henan Disaster Victims" starts with money. One by one, one by one, each one is a feasible plan.
Very maneuverable. As long as everything is implemented in place, great things can happen!
Disaster relief is like putting out fire. Li Miao didn't want to waste a moment. Every day of delay means the disaster will double. In the end, it was himself who was unlucky. It will undoubtedly make disaster relief more difficult!
The epidemic will become more difficult to control. If the time delay is too long, even Li Miao may have no choice but to recover.
But the urgent report from the imperial court has not been received yet, and it is estimated that there will be less by tomorrow.
According to the work efficiency of the Dazheng Dynasty, wait until the candidate for the disaster relief imperial envoy is determined. I don’t know when to wait? The blame game is for sure!
Therefore, Li Miao prepared the memorial first and tried to rush to the disaster area in Henan as soon as possible. This imperial envoy position was avoided by others.
Although this position of imperial envoy is very lucrative, if you don't do it well, you will lose your head. No one should argue with him.
Although the candidate for the imperial envoy has not been finalized yet. Li Miao is already preparing for his entourage. Half of the servants were taken away. Fifty servants will serve as the main force in this disaster relief supervision.
Jia Lan and Jia Huan were also among them. How could Jia Lan and Jia Huan give up such a good training opportunity? Especially Jia Lan, he traveled with Li Miao more than once.
Before Li Miao could ask for his opinion, Jia Lan came directly to his door.
Jia Lan did not take part in the Enke Provincial Examination this year. Originally, Jia Lan wanted to give it a try. Even if it’s just a little exercise. But Li Miao firmly stopped him.
Jia Lan is only thirteen years old. If he passes the exam, wouldn't it cause trouble to Rongguo Mansion?
Jia Lan really has the strength to give it a try. In Li Miao's opinion, Jia Lan shouldn't be too outstanding, and he would be just right if he was about 20 years old. Because of this, he and Li Wan were unhappy. Li Wan hoped that his son would become a successful child?
Li Wan wished that Jia Lan would win the first prize immediately. It's okay now. He was directly held down by Li Miao. Can Li Wan not be angry?
For this reason, Li Miao had to go to Rongguo Mansion for comfort for several nights in a row. Only then did he manage to comfort Li Wan's pouted buttocks.
Li Miao still underestimated the efficiency of the court. On the night when Li Miao received news of the disaster, the emperor also received an urgent report that the Yellow River had been diverted. The emperor fainted on the spot.
After being revived by the imperial physician, the emperor could only keep talking. "It's over..."
The cabinet and a group of important ministers received the news. They are all blind-eyed. What did the court do to provide disaster relief? One by one, it seems that the end of time is coming.
At the court meeting the next day, Li Miao was still shocked by the efficiency of the court. The main content of the meeting was the treatment of the disaster in Henan.
The emperor's dragon body was obviously in poor condition. Dai Quan, the eunuch, acted as a loudspeaker for many of the words and repeated them again.
The ministers have also received the news that the Yellow River has changed its course. The mood is not high.
The cabinet ministers and the emperor were obviously in worse condition. This is probably because the overnight consultations failed to come to fruition last night. All of them were in despair.
Li Miao did not wait for the emperor to ask questions, and directly stepped forward and handed over the "Emergency Guidelines for the Imperial Court to Rescue Henan Disaster Victims".
There were not a few ministers who got the news of the diversion of the Yellow River last night. Li Miao was probably the only one who wrote the memorial overnight.
The emperor obviously no longer had any hope. So many ministers studied it for most of last night. Isn't it better than you alone? But he still nodded kindly towards Li Miao.
Li Miao still noticed that the emperor on the dragon throne was obviously having a stroke. It was probably because of his poor health and the stimulation.
Li Miao faintly felt that the dragon energy that suppressed him seemed to have lightened a lot.
Could it be that the great Zheng Chao has really run out of energy? If this situation continues, the dragon energy of the Great Zheng Dynasty will suppress him. It is estimated that it will lose its effectiveness before long.
Li Miao thought that after his disaster relief was successful, the dragon energy of the Zheng Dynasty would rise again. There was some hesitation in my heart, after all, this was what I had always expected! At least we can get Jia Yuanchun first!
But Li Miao woke up quickly. Can I watch tens of millions of people die violently? Can you watch the plague spread throughout the Dazheng Dynasty and corpses strewn everywhere?
cannot! Absolutely not! Li Miao found that he still did not have the potential to become a hero.
Now the Zheng Dynasty has a population of hundreds of millions. If I don't do anything, the number of people who will die will reach tens of millions. Li Miao will feel uneasy conscience.
For Li Miao, who is a master of Taoism, everything must be based on his original intention. How can he practice Taoism if his thoughts are not clear?
Li Miao, standing in the main hall, now stood out from the crowd. At this time, Li Miao no longer worried about gains and losses, and there was only one thought left in his mind.
It is important to rush to the disaster area in Henan to rescue and treat the victims. Li Miao's thoughts are extremely clear.
His mentor Li Shouzhong himself was a little unhappy. Li Miao didn't discuss such a big matter with him in advance. He is simply ignorant. In fact, the key is to worry about your closed disciples!
This is a major matter involving one's wealth and one's life. If one mistake is not made, it will bring harm to the family! But thinking that he had been in the palace last night. The matter is extremely urgent and there is no way we can afford to delay it. Li Shouzhong saw Li Miao's indifferent expression.
Li Shouzhong had no complaints at all. Some are just worried. This matter is too big. If you don't handle it well, it will lead to the disaster of annihilation! But in the Li Shou Center, there was still a sense of pride.
This is his proud disciple, who is responsible and courageous. Usually lustful. But whenever something happened in the court, he was always the first to stand up.
The last time I served as the ambassador to see off my relatives, I was affectionate and righteous.
This time around the disaster in Henan, we were the first to offer advice. No turning back.
Li Shouzhong was so excited that tears flashed in his eyes, and he didn't care about the disgrace in front of you. He turned sideways and looked at Li Miao not far behind him.
The emperor looked at Li Miao's memorial and became more and more fascinated. He immediately sat upright. The more I watch, the happier I become. As if seeing hope.
Although Li Miao's memorial has something to say, it is dealt with in every aspect. But it is also difficult to implement these plans. But the emperor seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and actually burst out laughing.
"Dai Quan, read quickly and read Li Aiqing's memorial to the emperor and his ministers." Although the emperor's voice was not loud, the ministers could hear it clearly.
"Emergency measures for the imperial court to rescue victims in Henan", Dai Quan's sharp voice echoed in the hall. It was rare for the ministers to find this voice not unpleasant at all.
The content of "Emergency Response Procedures for the Imperial Court to Rescue Henan Disaster Victims" is concise. However, the pros and cons are listed one by one, and the words are meaningful. It does work, although it is difficult to implement. But it's a brilliant idea.
Li Miao is indeed a capable minister, and he is worthy of his reputation. No wonder he can become a fourth-grade official at such a young age. The ministers began to recall Li Miao's past experiences. More and more people are convinced.
Especially the important ministers in the cabinet, all of them were a little embarrassed. They had been researching together for most of last night, but there was no result.
Listen to Li Miao's "The Imperial Court's Emergency Response to Rescue Victims in Henan" again. Can you not feel ashamed?
In "Emergency Response Procedures for the Imperial Court to Rescue Henan Disaster Victims", Li Miao first started talking about the money from the Ministry of Household Affairs. If the household department has no money, it can borrow money from Shunfeng Bank.
Shunfeng bank account is for business and loans from the court. With the credibility of the court as a guarantee, Shunfeng Ticket Number will definitely accept it. And it will be beneficial to the future development of Shunfeng Ticket Account. It’s just a giant advertisement!
In recent years, the tax revenue of the Dazheng Dynasty has increased sharply year after year, and most of the money has been embezzled by corrupt officials. Not much is used on the blade. Except for the military pay in Jinzhou area, no one dares to be greedy.
All the ministers knew that those who were greedy for military pay in Jinzhou would definitely lose their heads. The Jinzhou area serves as the first line of defense against the Jurchen invasion. For so many years, no one dared to touch even a tael of silver.
Li Miao set the disaster relief fund at five million taels of silver. too much? not enough!
Li Miao estimated that when the imperial envoys arrived in the Henan disaster area, the number of victims would be close to two million. That is to say, each disaster victim will be allocated two to two five cents of silver.
These two to five cents of silver should include food and drink for the victims, as well as epidemic prevention and control. There are also costs involved in the migration process.
Therefore, Li Miao's memorial stated that the resettlement cost for these refugees was not within five million taels of silver.
Li Miao did not play riddles with the court. Only some of the victims will be resettled along the northern border, where there is a lot of idle land.
