Datang: I was exposed by Princess Changle

Those who really want to make up their minds and speak with weight are the important ministers in front of Li Shimin.

Fang Xuanling was the first to say in a solemn voice, "Your Majesty, the flood is urgent and there is no need to delay!"

"Yesterday, Wei Chen thought about it all night and felt that there are two measures that we must do right away."

"The first point is that the refugees are now displaced. They have lost all their land and properties, and all their hard work has been wasted. Their hearts are broken. If they have no food, they may cause riots!"

"Throughout the ages, how many civil uprisings have been intensified by disasters?"

"So, we must first provide disaster relief, so as to appease the hearts of the people!"

"Secondly, the design of the waterway of the Yellow River is very problematic, which leads to frequent floods and destroys the dams. If the only thing to do is to strengthen the dams, even if it is increased by ten stories, it will only treat the symptoms and not the root cause! "

"It's blocked here, and it may erupt elsewhere. The water flow is so much, and it won't be reduced!"

"Floods cannot destroy the dams on the upper reaches of the Yellow River, but if they continue to flow downstream, the impact may be greater, and the next dam will suffer even more!"

"Therefore, it is urgent to send people to the Yellow River Basin to divert the flood to release the flood and control the flood!"

Fang Xuanling's words were well-founded, causing everyone present to nod repeatedly.

Indeed, the most urgent countermeasures they have to do are these two!

"Well said."

Li Shimin nodded happily, and then asked majestically: "Then, Duke Wei...you said you want to provide disaster relief, so how should you do it?"

"How much money does the Ministry of Household still have available for use?"

"In the case of maintaining the normal expenditure of the household department during this period, how much money can be spent?"

"Also, you said that you want to divert the Yellow River to release floods. I also take this matter seriously!"

"There were many unreasonable designs in the previous waterways, which is why the river surged frequently, and it is precisely because of this that the dams always broke down."

"The so-called blocking is worse than dredging. Instead of strengthening the dam, we should evacuate it into multiple tributaries, and use a scientific and reasonable way to let the flood of the Yellow River rush forward and flow out into the sea."

"However, the water system in the Yellow River Basin is very complicated. Who is qualified for this position to be the minister of diversion?"

"Come on, if someone volunteers to stand up now, after he succeeds, I will directly make him a successor, so that future generations can inherit it!"

As soon as this word comes out.

At this moment, everyone fell into silent silence, even Fang Xuanling was dumbfounded.

Disaster relief?

The household department of the imperial court has been empty all the time, and there is not enough money to maintain its operation. How can it be used for disaster relief?

Chapter 322 How much money can be raised?

Even if it is really squeezed out, it is still a drop in the bucket, not enough at all!

As for the diversion?

This has to be done by professionals!

But Datang really doesn't have any talents in water conservancy at present, so where can they find people?

The three words Chuan Guogong do sound very attractive.

But there is also time to fight for it!

If things like waterways are not improved, it will be a huge disaster, more people will die and more losses will be caused!

At that time, not only will I lose my life, but I will also be criticized by countless people, and even my spine will be stabbed by future generations!

Who dares to take such a huge risk?

No one dares!

Therefore, they were all silent at the moment.

Li Shimin said a little angrily: "Why, are you all dumb?"

"You can only propose solutions and countermeasures, but you don't know how to do it and how to implement it?"

"That's a fart!"

"These two countermeasures are the result of you Wei Guogong thinking all night? That's it? Nothing else?"

Fang Xuanling's face was filled with shame when he heard the words.

"Your Majesty, I am ashamed of my humble minister! My humble minister..."

Fang Xuanling got up immediately, and apologized to Li Shimin.

Seeing this, Li Shimin waved his hands, and said helplessly, "Oh, Duke Wei, I'm not targeting you, nor blaming you."

"Get up and sit down."

As soon as this word comes out.

Only then did Fang Xuanling's face turn red, and then he sat down hesitantly with a face of shame.

"Strategic guidelines have been put forward, and what you have to do now is to brainstorm, select talents and talents, and propose specific measures."

Li Shimin looked at the crowd solemnly, and asked with a dignified expression: "How much silver taels are left in the household department?"

"How much silver do you need for this disaster relief?"

Finally, someone stood up to this question with a look of embarrassment, and answered aloud: "Reporting to Your Majesty, there is still 230 million taels of silver left in the account of the Ministry of Accounting, which is the entire balance, and there is no more penny. "

Fang Xuanling replied with an uneasy face.

"And to maintain the expenditure of the household department, before the next tax collection, at least 180 million taels are needed to barely get through this period. This is still under the condition that all officials of the household department have reduced their salaries to a certain extent."

"That is to say, the current amount of silver taels that the Ministry of Accounts can use is less than 50 taels."

Fang Xuanling frowned, and said helplessly with a sad face.

As soon as this word comes out.

Li Shimin's pupils shrank suddenly when he heard this, his face was filled with astonishment.

Today's household department, is there such a fucking little money left?
