Shengtang Group cleans up all rivers within the group.
This is a very onerous thing.
At the same time, Li Min also took the opportunity to renovate it.
Especially in places where river channels are not very stable.
Especially in the East City, there is a river that has been in disrepair for a long time. It is diverted from the Shohe River. If there is a heavy rain, the river will flow backwards, which is also a very bad thing for the Shengtang Group.
The people along the river also have the same problem.
Therefore, Li Min will also clean up there.
Those people who didn't know the truth thought that Li Min was doing a good deed by cleaning up the river and was doing it for people's livelihood.
Little did he know that he was preparing before the heavy rain came.
Before the heavy rain came, Li Min also asked people to print newspapers and give priority to distribution in Chang'an and nearby counties.
He deployed a large amount of manpower to distribute it and let as many people as possible know about it.
The news spread quickly, and that afternoon, people also joined in the cleanup.
At least why he cleaned it up, he made it very clear in the newspaper, it was to allow the water to flow more smoothly without being blocked and causing floods.
However, some important rivers were in the hands of the imperial court.
If they don't nod, no one will dare to clean it up.
Once it is cleared, it will definitely be judged as vandalism. That is a crime and must be punished.
No one dares to do it.
Therefore, the people had no choice but to follow the dozens of precautions listed in the newspaper. Some low-lying areas were blocked with sandbags to prevent water from pouring into their homes during heavy rains and causing some losses.
You must know that most people use wooden tables and chairs in their homes. Once they are soaked in water, their service life will be shortened.
The so-called heavy rain is ruthless, but there is love in the world.
Shengtang Group will not let anyone go.
At this time, the people hope that the court can stand up.
Stand up and shoulder their responsibilities.
Things developed a bit quickly.
There is a feeling that the Tang Dynasty Group is helping the people, and the people are forcing the court to work together.
The imperial court also had its own ideas, so how could Shengtang Group just do whatever it said?
Moreover, there are still some disharmonious voices in this court.
In the Daming Palace.
When Li Shimin received the news, he looked unhappy.
At the same time, there were two people standing in his imperial study room, namely Fang Xuanling and Xiao Yu.
The two of them were highly appreciated by Li Shimin, so they were asked to come over today because they had important things to tell them.
But at this moment, Li Shimin received information about the people.
A eunuch reported:
"What are you talking about? There are rumors among the people that there is going to be a heavy rain, but the court does nothing? It doesn't repair and clean up the river? What is there to repair in this river? What is there to clean up? Do I have to follow whatever that kid does?
?”
Li Shimin smiled bitterly.
Yes, in recent times, basically whatever the Shengtang Group does, the court will follow.
It's a little embarrassing.
But it seems that Li Min's method is the best.
So, no one said anything in particular.
"Yes, Your Majesty, there are rumors among the people that there will be heavy rain tomorrow, and the Zhenguan Newspaper has also published a temporary newspaper, which makes it very clear."
"Where is the newspaper? Let me see it!"
Li Shimin said.
The eunuch then handed over the newspaper.
At the same time, Xiao Yu and Fang Xuanling also moved closer, trying to read the contents of the newspaper clearly.
Because this newspaper just came out not long ago.
This newspaper, which had just been published for a short period of time, was able to mobilize the entire city to clean up the newspaper.
And more and more people are joining in.
On the other hand, this means that the Shengtang Group’s appeal lies above the imperial court.
The imperial court was still too bloated.
An order needs to go through many levels before it can be issued.
But Shengtang Group is different. A newspaper can allow people to participate.
Let the people feel as if they are facing a powerful enemy.
But this is because most people listened to the Shengtang Group.
There are also some people who don't take it seriously.
They thought that the Shengtang Group was just disturbing others.
Therefore, this group of people still have to be called upon by the court and asked to respond.
Li Shimin looked at the newspaper, and the unhappiness on his face became very obvious.
"How can you tell that it's going to rain heavily? I think it's a fine day today, how can it rain?"
Xiao Yu said: "Your Majesty, can you let me take a look too!?"
"Take it!"
Li Shimin gave the newspaper to Xiao Yu, and Fang Xuanling also walked over and read it.
After a while.
They've finished reading.
Xiao Yu said: "Your Majesty, what the Sixth Prince did is despicable! This is forcing the court to do what they want. This Shengtang Group can only be regarded as a small part of Chang'an at best. They did this
It’s a bit offside!”
This is Xiao Yu’s view.
Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, I think that everything the Sixth Prince does is well-founded. He must have seen something before he did these things. If there is a heavy rain, we should be prepared in advance. That's not the case.
Better? It can also reduce some losses, why not?"
Xiao Yu said, "Mr. Wei Guogong, this is wrong. First of all, if the court does this, where will the face be? Secondly, if the court follows such an unfounded prediction, it will be equivalent to being led by the nose. What will happen to the court?
What is the role of the Son of Heaven? In the end, if there had been no heavy rain, then the court would probably be the most scolded!"
Fang Xuanling retorted: "Xiao Yu, what you said is wrong. We are not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, and we can also use other names to clean up the river, right? The voice of the people
The court must listen to show that your majesty loves the people like a son!
And for such a big matter, if we really don’t do something, then the court really has done nothing.”
Is it true that someone who loves his people like a son likes a son like Li Min?
"To love the people like a son is to govern Chang'an and the Tang Dynasty well, instead of being ordered to do things that the court does not want to do. Do you know how much money it will cost to clean up this time? It's money
It’s a huge amount! The imperial court has no budget for this event!”
"But what if a heavy rain really comes, causes floods, and damages Chang'an? Who will be responsible for this? Who will be responsible for this kind of loss?"
"That's just because you think that I've asked people to watch the sky and there won't be any rain in the next few days!"
Xiao Yu insisted on his opinion, and Fang Xuanling refused to give in.
The words have come to this.
Li Shimin probably made his own judgment.
"Okay, my dear friends, stop talking. What you say is reasonable. But I have my own opinion."
