The government treasury checked and checked, and there were no problems with the disaster relief funds.
But Liu Changqing didn't give up, or in other words, he couldn't stand Jiang Yi, so he stayed in Daiyang for half a month. In the end, he couldn't find any corruption, so he had no choice but to leave.
Regarding Jiang Yi's exchange of grain relief for several times more brown rice and bran, Liu Changqing naturally wrote to the royal court and truthfully reported the situation.
After receiving his letter, Xiao Yuan read it carefully, but did not give any instructions or reply a word.
To put it simply, Liu Changqing’s memorial is a waste of time.
The disaster in Daiyang was serious, and the food relief was simply not enough. We had to find other ways, otherwise, we would have to watch many people starve to death.
There is no need to decide whether Jiang Yi's change was right or wrong, which saved the entire refugee population in the disaster area.
More than ten days later, in a certain county and township in Youzhou.
Liu Yuzhi was inspecting the public sentiment and learned that Liu Changqing was about to arrive. He was so busy that he had no choice but to say: "Tell him that the truth is that we really can't leave and we can't entertain him in person. Let him not think too much or hold any grudges." . In addition, let state government officials fully cooperate with the inspectors."
"Yes." The official who came to notify responded, and then said in a flattering manner: "Master Xiangguo, you are almost traveling through the countryside. It's time to rest. Your health is important..."
At the same time, Liu Changqing's side.
Yang Zhao was deeply puzzled that he dared to check on the Prime Minister. At the same time, he was full of worries and couldn't help but said: "Sir, what will the Prime Minister think when you come to Youzhou?"
Understanding what he meant, Liu Changqing said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Prime Minister is concerned about the country and the people. He is open-minded and won't care about these things. Besides, we are following normal procedures."
Among the ministers of the Qin Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty, the only person Liu Changqing respected was probably Liu Yuzhi, because the latter truly served the country and the people.
Although even Liu Changqing wouldn't believe that the Prime Minister would be corrupt, he still had to deal with the matter. After arriving in Youzhou, he was still very serious, conducting open and covert investigations and combining official documents with files. However, the final result can be imagined.
The disaster here in Youzhou is very serious, but under the personal supervision of Prime Minister Qin, the situation has stabilized and the economy has been mobilized and developed.
In the winter of the same year, Liu Changqing spent nearly six months touring the disaster-stricken areas in the north and finally returned to the capital.
This time, holding the king's sword in hand, he patrolled the herds on behalf of the sky. Many corrupt officials were investigated and dealt with, and the local disaster situation has been stabilized.
Naturally, Xiao Yuan praised Liu Changqing very much. He was given a promotion and a lot of rewards in front of all the officials.
The reason for these rewards is entirely because Xiao Yuan demoted him to Meishan last time. Seeing that his family was impoverished and he was a dignified minister, he felt a little guilty in his heart.
Jiang Yi and some local officials in the disaster area were very effective in providing disaster relief, and they also contributed a lot to their political achievements.
Of course, some of them did not perform well and were basically demoted.
Snow is falling heavily at the moment, and all the palaces in the majestic Qin Palace have already been covered with a layer of snow, making them look particularly spectacular.
The court meeting has passed, and Xiao Yuan is standing at the door of the palace, looking at the snowy white outside, with hundreds of civil and military officials following behind him.
With such a snowy scene, he couldn't help but say: "The auspicious snow heralds a good harvest. There will definitely be a good harvest next year. I hope that thousands of people will not suffer from disasters again."
"Your Majesty said it well..."
"The land of China has been torn by wars. Now under the rule of your Majesty, the lives of the people will definitely get better and better, and the country will get stronger and stronger..."
People naturally agreed.
Immediately afterwards, Taibu came forward, bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, as soon as winter is over, spring will begin. The minister suggested that before spring plowing, the King and the Queen preside over the national agricultural festival together. The King helps the plow, The queen should weave and set an example for the people of the world."
As soon as he finished speaking, another minister came over and said in agreement: "Yes, Your Majesty, what Master Taibu said makes sense. You are our monarch of the Qin Dynasty, and the Queen Mother is the mother of the world. It is precisely because of the destiny that you have returned. Only then should we fear heaven and earth..."
Later, other ministers seconded the proposal, saying everything. To put it simply, they wanted the king and queen to take a good lead and set an example for men to farm and women to weave.
Under the feudal dynasty, both scholars and common people valued these matters very much. Naturally, Xiao Yuan would not refute it and said: "Yes, the specific matters will be arranged by Taibu."
"Yes, I accept the order." Taibu quickly bowed deeply.
The days passed like this day by day. In the following time, while dealing with various government affairs, Xiao Yuan also raised the issue of local granary reserves.
From the issue of the last drought, it can be seen that although the people of the world usually have enough to eat, they are still far from being wealthy. Of course, this is directly related to the successive years of war.
During the war years, the land was often ravaged. Even if the place was pacified and wanted to be restored, you would not be able to achieve immediate results as soon as you implemented policies.
In view of the last disaster, those disaster-stricken areas must be tax-free in recent years. Regarding the granary reserves in various places, Xiao Yuan reduced the amount turned over to the national treasury, allowing each place to keep some for emergencies.
Some people agreed with this proposal, while others opposed it, but in the end, Liu Yuzhi said: If the people are prosperous, the country will be strong. I was pushed back with one sentence.
This strategy is to make the local area richer than before and able to operate fully. If there are any minor disasters or other changes, the local area can solve them immediately.
It was agreed that on this day, after the court, Xiao Yuan also went to Lu Yunyan's place.
The queen's chamber.
When Xiao Yuan arrived, Lu Yunyan was sitting with the maid Fengqing, tinkering and discussing something.
"Your Majesty." Seeing him, Fengqing stood up quickly, bowed and left.
"Ah, Brother Wang is here." Lu Yunyan was overjoyed and pulled him to sit next to him. Although they were husband and wife for a long time, they were still used to calling him that.
Looking at what she was tinkering with, Xiao Yuan was happy: "You really know how to weave?"
Lu Yunyan was born into a royal family, and was formerly Xuanjun. He grew up in Xuanwang Palace. How could he possibly know these things, but he said seriously: "I can learn it."
Xiao Yuan gently touched her black hair and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not necessary. It's just a farmer's festival. If you don't want to go, just don't go."
"How can that be done?" Lu Yunyan became anxious: "Farmer sacrifice is a major event, related to the people's livelihood in the world. How can the monarch and queen not take it seriously? They should bathe and change clothes, fast and meditate three days in advance. Brother Wang must be careful With reverence, I wish our country, Qin, good weather and good weather."
Seeing how seriously she said it, Xiao Yuan had no choice but to reply: "Okay, okay, it's a big deal. Have you learned it?"
"Of course, it's almost done." Lu Yunyan frowned.
"Smart and clever." Seeing his wife's virtue, Xiao Yuan was in a good mood.
