457, cure natural disasters, but also cure man-made disasters (seeking complete set)
Two feet and three inches of rainfall in Guanzhong caused a severe drought in Guanzhong. The severe drought in Guanzhong will not kill people, but the resulting reduction in food production will starve people to death. Therefore, if you want to accomplish this meritorious deed, you can start with praying for rain, or you can solve the food crisis
Start with.
There are many ways to solve the food crisis...
Spells are not necessarily required.
…
After April, no one noticed that this year's spring rains were becoming sparse and some small water veins were gradually drying up. Only the fertile fields irrigated by rivers were spared, while the dryland seedlings located on the plateau slopes were severely short of water.
From the beginning of January to May, it rained only three times, and it ended in less than an hour.
"We can only look at May. If it doesn't rain in May, this year will definitely be a disaster year. There will always be a locust plague after severe drought..."
In Hanyuan Hall, all the ministers were discussing.
Since Li Shimin came to the throne, he has worked hard to govern, be wise and love the people. The ministers in the political affairs hall are also not simple. Needless to say, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others are all capable ministers.
Therefore, as soon as there are drought seedlings in Guanzhong, these wise ministers will discover them and prepare preventive measures.
It is not a fantasy to know that a drought will occur. For example, there is a farmer's proverb: "When the north wind blows in the field, drought will occur."
, there will be a drought next year.”
"Guanzhong is a granary. Although grain can be transferred from Bashu, Yuzhou, Jiangnan and other places. However, according to reports from various places, not only Guanzhong has reduced production this year, but other places are also not optimistic. Moreover, it will cost a lot to transfer grain from various places...
…”
Fang Xuanling said worriedly.
Guanzhong is the granary, which the Qin, Han, Zhou and Sui Dynasties relied on to unify the world. But after the unification, Chang'an, as the capital, not only supported a large number of clans and powerful people, but also had a large number of slaves, servants, tooth soldiers, etc. who served the powerful people.
In addition, not to mention the people and merchants living near Chang'an. The heavy troops in the north and south offices of Chang'an alone are not a small number.
Therefore, the emperor often went to Luoyi to eat in times of disaster to relieve the food pressure in Guanzhong.
The severe drought in Guanzhong is definitely a difficult problem that cannot be optimistic for the Tang Dynasty.
"Order high-ranking officials in the court to submit memorials..."
"Discuss this drought."
Li Shimin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, frowned deeply when he heard these words and said in a deep voice.
If you listen to one side, it will be dark; if you listen to both, it will be bright.
This is what he has always insisted on doing.
Every once in a while, he would ask officials from the DPRK and China to submit memorials to discuss political affairs. Not only to solve government affairs problems, but also to select talented officials.
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
Everyone kept silent and saluted.
As Zuo Shiyi of Menxia Province and a close minister of the emperor, Bai Gui naturally had the obligation to submit memorials.
In later generations, there have been relatively complete response methods to droughts.
He only needs to select a copy and play it.
Although this is not as powerful as praying for rain, natural disasters are often accompanied by man-made disasters. According to the methods of dealing with droughts in later generations, losses can be minimized. This is also the most important thing that a minister should do.
Advanced management experience is inherently a science and will never become outdated anywhere.
By completing this, Bai Gui will be able to leave his name in history and write a book and biography.
Drought is severe, but if the water used to irrigate plants is followed by traditional agriculture, the water lost by plants through transpiration will be more than 90% of the water absorbed by the roots.
In feudal society, although the drip irrigation technology used in a later desert country could not achieve the high degree of water utilization, it was still possible to preserve part of the grain and reduce production losses.
The operation is very simple, you can do it by using the knowledge of collecting dew in the desert.
This is just a method mentioned by Bai Gui in his memorial.
Since part of the grain has been saved, the production will not be reduced too much. Then the second step is to minimize the number of people who starve to death due to drought, and this can start from the rations...
Multiple methods and several pronged approaches. Even if there is a severe drought in Guanzhong this year, the number of people who starve to death will definitely be many fewer than in previous years.
…
late at night.
Li Shimin watched the piles of memorials until late into the night.
"Pedantic, pedantic!"
"Why, if there is a bad situation in Hanoi, move the people to the east of the river. If there is a bad situation in Hanoi, the same will happen." King Hui of Wei could only occupy a corner of Wei State, and could not capture the whole territory of Yuzhou. He could use this small country with few people. But the Tang Dynasty
It’s such a big country, but there’s a severe drought in Guanzhong, how can we immigrate to other places for food?”
"This is the way to create chaos."
He angrily threw a memorial to the ground and cursed angrily.
Studying to the death, this is studying to the death.
The words seem reasonable, but for the country, this kind of behavior will cause disasters that are more terrifying than natural disasters. When people escape from jurisdiction, they are like wild horses running wild. Once someone incites it, it will be a large-scale rebellion.
To put it ten thousand steps back, even if the people are as safe as sheep, they will not leave their homeland until the last step. Once they leave, the wealth accumulated by their ancestors will be wiped out.
This is different from the rich and powerful who live elsewhere.
"Isn't this what your Majesty often says? This method won't work, but why should your Majesty be angry with this? If the memorials in the court are not of this scholarly spirit, but are the same, then it's your Majesty's fault.
Worried..."
"Now that this is happening, it just proves that Your Majesty, you are running the country well."
A noble lady walked into the hall, picked up the memorial, and put it into the pile of approved memorials on the documents. Then she walked behind Li Shimin, rubbed Li Shimin's shoulders, and said softly.
Li Shimin was still angry at first, but when he heard this, his depression disappeared and he felt much better, "Guanyin, you are right. If the memorials in the court are all the same, it will be my turn to worry."
Guanyin Maid is the nickname of Empress Changsun.
He continued to review the memorials sleeplessly.
"Eh? This memorial?"
Li Shimin concentrated on a memorial, repeatedly trying to figure out the meaning of the memorial sentence by sentence.
Occasionally, when he sees a place where he is at the end of his interest, he will slap his thigh and shout "good luck".
As a queen, Empress Changsun was well aware of the dangers of political interference in the harem, but this time she was also attracted by Li Shimin's demeanor. She came around, took a closer look, and whispered softly: "Any way to deal with disasters is to avoid natural disasters.
To manage man-made disasters and natural disasters, I dare not speak nonsense. My wife is the one who brings disaster..., although we need to rely on heaven to manage the seedlings of crops, we can also do it manually, collect the rain and dew that transpire in the morning, and then irrigate it...
…”
"One stone of food, for a general who is good at conquering, can feed a hundred men for a month. If it is mediocre, it can only feed half of it. To reduce disasters and save the people, the purpose of rations is not to make the people eat all they can. When saving the people, the same goes for the food in the warehouse.
…”
Strategies for controlling droughts are all listed in the memorial.
It's clearly organized and not empty words.
Li Shimin read through the thousands-word memorial one by one until he reached the end, and he still felt unfinished.
"Menxia Shengzuo Supplementary Collection and Bai Gui's memorial."
He chanted repeatedly.
"This son is not simple. This memorial is ranked first among all the officials in the court."
After a while, he read it again and said to Queen Changsun.
"I am very happy to see this memorial."
After saying that, Empress Changsun walked down from Her Majesty Dan, walked to the palace, gathered her palace clothes, bowed to Li Shimin, and said with a smile: "I congratulate Your Majesty, you have gained another great talent as Prime Minister."
"Queen, you are right."
"This son...is a talented minister and assistant."
Li Shimin stroked his beard and laughed.
This memorial is like a timely rain for today's Tang Dynasty. At the same time, Bai Gui's display of such talent is a happy event for the Tang Dynasty in the future.
