Moreover, if there is a problem with the disaster relief, Chu Xuanchen will be responsible.
If the disaster relief is successful, let the wise king share his reputation.
He was also afraid that Chu Xuanchen would form cliques for personal gain and gain influence on the way, so he sent a wise king to supervise him.
Thinking of this, he said: "Since King Li and King Xian are willing to serve the country, I have an idea. I appoint you two as imperial envoys to go to the south of the Yangtze River to provide disaster relief. However, because King Li has been out on the march many times,
Experience, I will appoint you as the chief envoy of the imperial envoy, and the wise king as the deputy envoy of the imperial envoy, to assist you in disaster relief. When the time comes, you will each perform your duties and help each other. I will give each of you a Shangfang sword to express that it is like I am here in person. No matter what
If any prince, marquis, or minister of civil and military affairs dares to be disrespectful, he may be killed first and then reported."
"I obey the order." Chu Xuanchen and King Xian stepped forward together to receive the order.
"Okay, since you two are imperial envoys, do you have any ideas for disaster relief?" Emperor Hongyuan asked.
The wise king took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that firstly, the Emperor should continue to pray to heaven sincerely for the floods to stop; secondly, the Emperor should widely implement benevolent policies, grant amnesty to the world, and release some common criminals to demonstrate the Emperor's benevolence; thirdly, prepare
The imperial court will take the lead in raising funds for disaster relief, and then guide the gentry and wealthy households to donate, and the government and the people will work together to provide disaster relief."
"Well, King Xian's method is feasible." Emperor Hongyuan nodded, "What about King Li, do you have any good ideas?"
Chu Xuanchen thought for a while and said: "I believe that the first thing to do in disaster relief is to stabilize people's hearts and let the people have enough to eat before we can proceed with the follow-up matters. The first is to distribute money and food; the second is to exempt the people in the disaster area from corvee and taxes; the third is to encourage the victims to help themselves.
The fourth is to organize the victims to build water conservancy projects to prevent recurrence of floods. The fifth is to stabilize food prices. The sixth is to pay attention to post-disaster epidemic prevention. The seventh is to open public places such as royal gardens and ponds so that hungry victims can go into the mountains to hunt and fill the fields.
Full belly.”
When Taifu Han heard this, he immediately looked at Chu Xuanchen with admiration.
His methods are all very practical, and they are all good strategies for the country and the people.
The Wise King's is not bad, but it is too superficial, too focused on the reputation of the royal family, too focused on winning the hearts of the people, and is not as practical as His Highness Prince Li's.
Emperor Hongyuan couldn't help but nodded after hearing Chu Xuanchen's words.
This Chu Xuanchen is really a talented person, but it is a pity that he is the son of the late emperor.
He said: "Okay, I think both of you have good disaster relief strategies. The imperial court will take the lead in allocating relief funds for this disaster relief. Mr. Yun, please do the math. How much relief money will be needed for this disaster relief trip?"
Emperor Hongyuan asked.
Yun Qing thought for a while and said: "Back to the emperor, I have calculated with the Minister of Household Affairs that the floods in the south of the Yangtze River during this trip are extremely serious, and I am afraid that at least two million taels of silver will be needed."
"Two million taels!" When the ministers heard this number, they shook their heads.
This is too much. Does this money come from the national treasury?
I'm afraid the emperor doesn't want to do it.
However, they also know that royal disaster relief has always been mostly a show-off.
The world is so big, the treasury is not full, the people are short of food, and there are disasters everywhere, how can the emperor control it?
The most important thing for ordinary people is to rely on their own efforts. Disaster relief is just a way for the emperor to stabilize people's hearts.
Whether the rescue is successful or not depends on the people themselves.
"You want two million taels of silver?" Emperor Hongyuan asked again.
"Two million taels is an underestimate. If we really want to treat all the victims, two million taels is simply not enough." Yun Qing added.
