The first thousand two hundred and thirty nine chapters recommended
Li Er is a bit big-headed.
He suddenly looked at Dai Zhou, Minister of Civil Affairs.
Just now, when everyone jumped out to recommend officials to be the chief disaster relief officials in Chang'an City, only Dai Zhou remained silent.
Li Er asked curiously: "Dai Aiqing, you have never recommended anyone. Why is this? In the past, the Ministry of Civil Affairs was the main force in disaster relief. Now, Chang'an City is suffering from floods. It is better to recommend someone from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to be the chief official, and then select someone from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to be the chief official."
What do you think about the ministry transferring two deputies?"
Dai Zhou thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that the disaster relief in Chang'an City this time is of great importance, and no one in the Ministry of Civil Affairs is qualified to do it."
Um?
These words made everyone including Li Er laugh.
Serving as a disaster relief officer has many benefits, and you can also perform meritorious services. In the future, your future will be unlimited. Even if Dai Zhou has no relatives or friends to recommend, it would be a huge favor to give this favor to anyone present. He actually
Said no.
For a moment, everyone looked at Dai Zhou in astonishment, wondering what kind of medicine Dai Zhou was selling in his gourd.
Li Er asked: "Dai Aiqing, why did you say this?"
A wry smile appeared on Dai Zhou's lips and he said: "Your Majesty, the city of Chang'an was severely damaged by this flood. Not to mention anything else, the city walls, the walls of each village, the roads, and the people's houses all need major repairs, and food is a big problem...
In total, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has calculated that in order to restore Chang'an City to its vitality, at least two million guans are needed... But now, the entire national treasury adds up to only more than 1 million guan. This more than 1 million guan still needs to be allocated.
To provide disaster relief to various places, no more than 300,000 yuan will eventually fall into Chang'an City... As for food, there is even less food. Your Majesty, it is autumn now, and tax collection has not started in various places, so there is no money and food...
Just now, Your Majesty Wang Gui recommended his son Wang Jingzhi. I think Wang Jingzhi can take on this important task. As the saying goes, when you recommend a virtuous person, you should not avoid relatives. I would like to ask Your Majesty to support you, Your Majesty."
bass.
A figure suddenly jumped out.
It is Wang Gui.
Wang Gui said loudly: "Master Dai, you misunderstood, I did not recommend him."
"You have……"
"I don't……"
"You just said it, everyone heard it."
"I didn't, I didn't, I didn't..."
In desperation, Wang Gui started acting like a child.
no way.
If he didn't act recklessly and let Wang Jingzhi serve as the chief disaster relief officer in Chang'an City, it would be over.
I want money but I don’t have money, I want food but I don’t have food, what a disaster to save.
Disaster relief in Chang'an City is like a big fire pit, and whoever jumps into it will die.
Li Er was a little unhappy when he saw Wang Gui's appearance, and he looked at Changsun Wuji again.
Changsun Wuji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have never spoken..."
Li Er looked at Chen Shuda again.
Chen Shuda was startled: "Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered that the official from the Ministry of Rites was injured a few days ago, and I am afraid that he will not be able to provide disaster relief for the time being."
…
The dozen or so ministers who had just come forward to recommend him all expressed that they had not said that just now.
For a time, it was impossible to find a suitable person to serve as the chief disaster relief officer in Chang'an City.
Li Er's face was gloomy.
Is this my subject?
When there is benefit, everyone will jump out.
When encountering difficulties, everyone shrinks back.
He was very angry.
But it cannot be shown directly.
At a glance, in the Tai Chi Hall, the civil and military ministers all lowered their heads.
All was quiet.
Everyone has a tacit understanding on this matter.
At this moment, Dai Zhou suddenly bowed his body and said: "Your Majesty, I do have someone to recommend."
Whoosh!
One after another, all eyes were fixed on Dai Zhou. Everyone had different thoughts in their hearts.
Well, Mr. Dai, you usually look honest, but now, you are starting to trick people.
Someone suddenly said: "Master Dai is really a role model for our generation!"
"yes!"
"Master Dai is the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. In the past, the Ministry of Civil Affairs was responsible for disaster relief. This time, Chang'an City is here, and it cannot be separated from the strong support of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The person recommended by Mr. Dai must be the most suitable person!"
"Yes, Lord Dai, please do not shy away from relatives if you are worthy!"
For a time, many people praised Dai Zhou.
The disaster relief work in Chang'an City cannot be delayed forever. If no one recommends it, His Majesty may directly appoint someone. This is what many people are worried about.
Now that Dai Zhou has come forward, there is nothing to worry about.
Everyone looked at Dai Zhou with a smile.
It seems that Dai Zhou's small eyes no longer look out of place and are much more pleasing to the eye.
Li Er asked in surprise: "Dai Aiqing, you want to recommend your son Dai Zhide. Zhide is a good boy with good abilities. If so, then let..."
Dai Zhou actually recommended his son to be the chief official of disaster relief in Chang'an City?
Many people were immediately impressed.
Mr. Dai, this is a typical case of exterminating relatives for the sake of justice.
good!
However, before Li Er finished speaking, he saw Dai Zhou coughing violently.
"Ahem, cough, cough..." Dai Zhou coughed while covering his chest, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, a dog is useless. If we leave the disaster relief work in Chang'an City to him, I'm afraid it will be a mess and delay the important affairs of the court...
Your Majesty, the person I want to recommend is Du He, the chief minister of Jingzhao Prefecture, who will join the army!"
Duhe?
Tai Chi Hall fell into silence once again.
Li Er frowned.
But I heard Dai Zhou say: "Your Majesty, although Du He has a low official position, his ability is obvious to all. Back then, he proposed the work-for-relief method and saved countless people. It can be said that there is no one like him in the entire Tang Dynasty.
Du He is more suitable to serve as the chief disaster relief officer in Chang'an City."
"Yes!" Wang Gui said fiercely, "Your Majesty, I think Du He is also the most suitable."
"Your Majesty, Du He is in charge of the Chang'an city management brigade and the tax bureau. For disaster relief, Du He is the most suitable."
…
One by one, the ministers, as if they had discussed it in advance, jumped out and recommended Du He.
In their words, Du He, who had a bad record in the past, has now become extremely outstanding and is simply the best talent in the world.
Occasionally, a few ministers like Qin Qiong who believed that Du He was not suitable to be the chief official of the disaster relief in Chang'an City would be attacked in groups and pushed back.
Li Er thought for a while and said: "Okay, since you all think that Du He can take on this important task, then let Du He take charge of the disaster relief work in Chang'an City. If Du He does a good job, I will reward you heavily.
If he does something wrong, I don't have to blame him as long as there is no big trouble."
If it’s done, will there be a reward?
If you make a mistake, don't you blame me?
This is a good thing that guarantees a steady profit without losing any money.
It's a pity that when it comes to disaster relief, there is no money or food, and no one thinks it's a big deal.
Because it is impossible for Du He to handle this matter beautifully.
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
The ministers complimented him one after another.
Wang Gui then said: "Your Majesty, disaster relief is a serious matter. I sincerely request your Majesty to send one or two officials to supervise Du He. On the one hand, it can prevent Du He from misbehaving and being corrupt and perverting the law. On the other hand, it can urge Du He to speed up the disaster relief."
, restore the prosperity of Chang'an City as soon as possible."
