Chapter 40: Disaster Relief Policy

"No matter how much you say, it's useless. The most urgent thing is to think about how to save Liaodong!" Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes, the court must allocate funds to Liaodong..." Li Ke said: "But compared to money, it may be more practical to purchase and transport materials directly from the surrounding areas... I wonder what good strategies are there for you here?"

Upon hearing this, Li Chengqian's eyes glanced at everyone.

The officials of the East Palace present discussed in groups of three or three, and began to discuss feasible plans around what Li Ke said to purchase supplies from surrounding prefectures to transport them to Liaodong for disaster relief.

After being cleansed by His Majesty Li Er, all the officials left behind were quite authentic, including rising stars and respected old ministers. So after discussion, I quickly came up with a few feasible strategies.

"Your Highness, I think that this matter should be reported to Your Majesty immediately, and your Majesty will allocate disaster relief funds from the national treasury and escorted to Liaodong by the soldiers of the left and right Wuwei Guards." Yu Zhining stood up and said.

"In addition, the surrounding prefectures should be ordered to mobilize materials and send people to the Liaodong camp. Now for Liaodong, materials are much more important than money." Wang Gui bowed and said.

"It's easy to talk about money, grain and materials. What do you think about your reaction to Goguryeo?" Li Chengqian asked.

Liaodong suffered a major disaster, and Quangasuwen and Gao Jianwu fought against each other in Goguryeo. At this critical moment, it is very likely that Quangasuwen will take advantage of this excuse to attack Liaodong. After all, although Goguryeo has been taking a defensive attitude for so many years, he has been eyeing Liaodong.

"Your Highness, now Prince Rongliu is still in the Tang Dynasty, Gao Jianwu will never dare to plot against Liaodong." Yu Zhining said.

"No, you must be careful of others." Li Ke said calmly: "Don't forget that Gao Jianwu is now trying to eradicate dissidents in Goguryeo. Now Goguryeo is full of fear and is already dissatisfied with Gao Jianwu. Gao Jianwu's move to build the Great Wall is already Sima Zhao's intention to the Tang Dynasty, and everyone knows it... If Gao Jianwu plans to plot against Liaodong at this time, he will shift the attention of the whole country of Goguryeo to Liaodong."

"But there is Silla next to Goguryeo." Li Tai frowned: "In this way, Silla's attitude is very important."

"This..." Yu Zhining and Wang Gui looked at each other and pondered.

"But no matter what, the most basic thing we need to do is to rescue disasters. This time, Chang'an should not only not hide the envoys from foreign countries, but also to rescue disasters with great enthusiasm and openness." Xuan Shijing said.

"What good advice does Xiaojing have?" Li Chengqian looked at Xuan Shijing.

Yu Zhining and Wang Gui and other officials from the Eastern Palace also turned their attention to Xuan Shijing.

Xuan Shijing smiled and thought to himself, it's time for you to see the power of the people...

"Now the envoys from all directions gather in Chang'an, and every move of the court must be hidden from these people. Since they can't hide it, don't hide it. No country has any natural disasters, especially the territory of the Tang Dynasty is so vast. This time, let the envoys from the foreign countries see that our Tang Dynasty attaches importance to the border territory and the care of the soldiers and civilians on the border, at least from now on, let them all respect the Tang Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts."

Li Chengqian nodded: "That's right, the envoys around the country are all in Chang'an now. As long as they put in some effort, it will not be difficult to detect the movements in the court. But Xiao Jing, what are you going to do?"

"As long as the three Your Highnesses are willing to endure some hardship, all this will not be difficult." Xuan Shijing said with a smile, narrowing his eyes.

Seeing Xuan Shijing's expression, Li Tai looked at Xuan Shijing suspiciously, then looked at Li Chengqian and Li Ke, and said hesitantly: "You tell me your countermeasures first and let me refer to them. If it is really effective, the three of us will suffer a little, which is nothing."

"Your Highness, this is a good opportunity to make a name for yourself. Whoever suffers more will be your reputation grows faster." Xuan Shijing said with a smile on his face.

"This kind of good thing that is related to reputation is better to let the elder brother do it. Qingque and I won't compete with each other for me. As the prince, we can't let us two princes steal the limelight, right?" Li Ke said calmly.

"Xiao Jing, tell me the good plan first, and we will make a decision later..." Li Chengqian looked at Xuan Shijing.

"Brother Jing, just say it." Jinyang, who was on the side, was silent for a long time, and also helped Li Chengqian speak.

"Okay." Xuan Shijing spread his hands: "The strategies mentioned by Lord Yu and Lord Wang are two necessary methods for disaster relief. However, in places like Liaodong, even if the imperial court allocates funds from the treasury, it is a drop in the bucket. Even so, what should be there should be. The matter of mobilizing materials by Lord Wang's surrounding prefectures is also a feasible strategy, but just these are not enough to shock the surrounding tigers and wolves." When he said this, Xuan Shijing's words became loud and loud: "This time, we should borrow this disaster in Liaodong, so that both the envoys in foreign countries, Silla or Goguryeo around Liaodong can see the power of the people of the Tang Dynasty! No force is used to shock!"

In the Tang Dynasty, the royal family is a spiritual sustenance for the common people. If princes such as Li Chengqian came to provide relief, it would naturally be beneficial to the reputation of several people among the people. This time, it is also a great opportunity for Jinyang Charity Fund to come forward. Jinyang will take over the donations from the people and let Li Chengqian and others control it in the court. This disaster relief will inevitably make Liaodong prosperous in the Tang Dynasty and ensure that the whole people will participate!

Write some big-character posters and give a few speeches. These once useless methods have not yet appeared in the Tang Dynasty. If you go through this, it will inevitably inspire people and the effects will be different.

"Xiaojing, don't keep it in hiding!" Li Tai glared at Xuan Shijing, as if he would beat you up if you didn't say anything.

"It's easy to deal with. First of all, the Prince of the Crown Prince must petition. The disaster relief matters in Liaodong will be fully responsible for the officials of the Eastern Palace and the Wude Hall Literary Museum. No one is allowed to intervene! The disaster relief matters in the Jinyang Foundation are all led by the general of the Jinyang Foundation, and then directly reported to His Highness the King of Wei." Xuan Shijing said.

"Ah? Yes, we have the Jinyang Charity Fund!" Jinyang also remembered that there was an organization named after his own title in Xuanwu Hu. Last time, I remembered that the money paid by many officials and wives in Chang'an was a considerable amount. Now this money should be sealed in the warehouse underground in Xuanwu Hu.

"This is not difficult." Li Ke smiled and said, "It's not a matter of being the chief brother who is in charge of government affairs once or twice. This is a matter that needs to be bypassed by the six ministries, and I'm afraid it will take some thought."

"It's not difficult. If the disaster relief funds are allocated by the state treasury and escorted, the crown prince will personally lead the soldiers led by the left and right guards of the crown prince of the East Palace." Xuan Shijing said.

"Xiao Jing means that I personally escorted the disaster relief funds and materials to Liaodong?" Li Chengqian looked at Xuan Shijing in disbelief.
