In mid-May, Xiahong broke out in the three counties of Caoying, which was rare in a century.The Chenghe River rose 50 meters, and dozens of Pingqi villages in Jiangling and Jiangkai counties were submerged overnight.There were countless casualties and missing persons. When the emergency report was received in the early morning, Mo Hua was fighting the new concubine Cao Yunmu in Yanxi Palace.

At Yinshi, all the courtiers were called into the palace urgently to discuss countermeasures.Because it is the end of spring, there is still a surplus of relief supplies.Soon the disaster in the three counties was resolved, but the thousands of refugees had nowhere to go. They were reduced to slaves, and the beggars accounted for eight or nine out of ten, and the remaining one or two were quite hopeless.

It rained continuously for several days, the river receded during the day, and the water rose again at night. Households, officials, and the Ministry of Industry also received ciphertexts about corruption and disasters. Numerous people were arrested, Jiangling and Jiangkai were all caught up, and the Caoying county government escaped a catastrophe.

After the summer rain, the sun continued to shine in March, and covered half of Shangming's territory. There was a severe drought, and children could walk in the rivers and streams.

Bamboo tube drinking cups are divided into three grades, five taels of finely carved cups, two taels of rough carved fine leaf cups, and ten bamboo cups with lids, all of which can be carried and hung, and are sold everywhere.The ice and summer workshops around the world dare not cut off the supply, and sell them at a low price in March.Chang, Da, and the passers-by in the Sanguyuan met a fainted person, and they also used appropriate techniques to rescue them.

Nearly ten thousand barrels of ice were donated by the Degu Courtyard of the Imperial Palace.Mohua was sitting in the imperial case every day to approve and deal with early disasters. The Ministry of Industry has sent imperial craftsmen to various dry lands to install high-drum carts to open canals. Although it is orderly, there is no worry about the autumn harvest.

Drought and little wind, less grain pollination, more barnyard grains.In the mountainous area of ​​Yuanshui, the fields are bald and yellow, and the crops planted in spring have almost no harvest. The people of all villages and counties are desperate for food.

The catastrophe has begun.

Mengsheng Zhannu has been sold for tens of thousands this month, and the Daguyuan accepts them all.The prosperity of Chaoya's extermination of the alliance has come to an end, Shangming is in danger, and the court's hearts are gradually floating.

Gu Ji is also collecting floods and droughts and making detailed plans. Wu Mugui, Qin Hua and several other children made copies of the booklet "Drought and Flood Prevention", and went to Qinshu Company to find He Dongyang to publish hundreds of thousands of copies at his own expense. The imperial medical office, and the ancient courtyard traveler sent it to the villages and county government along the official road. The message was widely copied, widely circulated, widely read and implemented, and registered in the register with real names.

In mid-August, there was no tax or food in nearly a hundred counties, and the people in the mountainous areas had gone into the deep mountains to eat grass roots and bark.The three ancient courtyards have not been affected at all. The large ancient courtyard is facing the sea for fishing, and the seven thousand acres of mountain fields have been connected to the Dayan River. Thousands of war slaves.

The Jimu River, the longest river in Shangming Kingdom, on the east bank of the [-]-mu mountain field in Changguyuan, has accommodated five refugees, most of whom have been sent to the ancient courtyard.

Gu Ji has bought the entire Dayu Mountain area from Yan Hong.The imperial court was in urgent need of disaster relief money, and the national treasury was empty for several months. Although Gu Ji sold everything for emergency supplies at a low price, his profits increased dramatically.

Emperor Mohua couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly summoned Guji into the palace.Above the court, at first sight, the officials were dumbfounded, and Mo Hua was also dumbfounded.When Guji kowtowed, Dianhe cleared his throat.Prince Shun Mo Xie, Daming King Mo Yi, and Da Lang King Mo Chun couldn't take their eyes off them.After thinking about it for a long time, Mo Xie said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, this Guji was originally a woman."

"Mo Xie, you're being presumptuous."

Daming Wang Mo Yi reprimanded.

"Your Majesty, Gu Ji is not a woman, nor a bisexual, but a man."

Mo Xie couldn't stop laughing, he stared at the person for a long time, and didn't make a sound. He still remembered the ordinary face of the person who nearly ruined his prince's reputation in Guzhong Village, Jianan County, and he also knew that the rumors were true, rather than beautifying them deliberately because of merit.When serving the imperial court, show the emperor with his original appearance, and do not leave the handle of deceiving the emperor. Even if he has other intentions today, he dare not covet him.

"Guji is in the wild, save Shang Ming from water and fire. I feel relieved, so I summoned the court to ask you if you have a wish. At this time, I will definitely agree, and no one in the court dares to refuse."

Guji stared at the ground and rolled his eyes.

"No time to be careful. If Gu Ji gets one, he will ask His Majesty for it. Gu Ji doesn't know if His Majesty will accept it at that time."

"A hundred years from now, so will my descendants."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron, Guji."

"Pingshen. Just listen to the disaster situation, and there are subtle ways to deal with it."

Oumo Hupo of the Ministry of Industry said that nearly [-] counties have started construction work, but mentioning this will not alleviate the disaster.Li Mingqiang from the Household Department also mentioned the lack of food reserves and called on wealthy households in all counties to open warehouses to relieve refugees.The soldiers, rites, officials, and the Ministry of Punishment have nothing to say, and they don't seem to know what to say.

It has been nearly 200 years since the establishment of these six departments, but they are still ignorant of the post-disaster cooperation. Gu Ji feels strange.

Sima Kaitai said sadly.

"After the catastrophe, the epidemic will start, and the Royal Medical Service should make preparations early."

"The ministers and others have all received the "Drought, Flood and Disease Prevention" booklet from the Royal Medical Administration."

The Six Departments and One Pavilion and the Royal Physician Shu Guan Wang Congrong were all stunned.

"When did it happen?"

"A month ago, Wei Chen was stationed in the county to deal with disasters. He got this manual copy. This book was nominated as the Imperial Medical Office. So far, Cangyue County has not had a single case."

"The Royal Medical Administration took the lead this time."

Da Lang Wang Mo Chun couldn't reach his eyes with a smile, and stroked his hands.

"Guji has something to say."

Dongfang looked at him for a while.

"Responding to my lord's words, Ji doesn't know much about the imperial system, but after listening to these words, disaster relief seems to have nothing to do with the other four departments?"

"It doesn't matter at all."

Tu Yunfang stood up and faced Di Jundao.Guji was surprised.

"So why do you need disaster relief, just let it go."

There was an uproar in the court, and after a long time, Gu Ji's voice sounded slowly.

"In case of waterlogging and breaking dikes, it is necessary to turn the tide and save tens of millions of people; in case of drought, building dikes to store water and guide the people to irrigate tens of thousands of fertile fields is not possible without the cooperation of workers, soldiers and civilians. When the people are famine, fishing, hunting and feeding must be done by soldiers and officials. In order to appease the people and avoid turmoil between the government and the public, officials of the Ministry of Propriety and Officials must not do anything, and punish those who take advantage of the fire and make things worse.

The four things that should be done should be done, and it can be heard that the needle is dropped in the court.

"Disasters arise from wars. The people support the soldiers, and the soldiers support the people, which is the foundation of the country."

Mo Hua had already stepped down from the Panlong Seat, he carefully examined Guji, and then looked at his three brothers.

"What do you love me?"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid you will lose if you advance too aggressively. Soldiers and civilians mix, and heresy grows."

Tu Yunsu said.

"Your Majesty, if you hear it, you can try it. If you do it carefully, you may damage the defense. At this time, Chaoya has added troops to the southwest line."

Bai Lian said.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has never done anything during a disaster, and we don't know what to do."

Bi Shouhua said.

"Guji, how about you stay in the palace and do fine work?"

"Your Majesty, if you stay in the palace for fear of chaos in the three courts, Gu Ji has to go back to the ancient court to carefully recommend the method and return it to the imperial court. In addition, Gu Ji donated about ten counties of March rations to the imperial court. Three days later, the imperial court sent people to Jianan County Yamen to take it directly." There are detailed counts of all the items offered, and disaster relief officials must sign to pick up the items, and this account book will be handed over to the imperial court by Dali Temple."

"Go back and get ready."

"Guji resigns."

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty watched the person with the pink face and frost leave, and then looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Dianhe, pass down my oral order, except for the war slaves, all the officials and slaves under the jurisdiction of the ancient court will return to their original places, and their children can also become officials through the imperial examination. The ancient court is allowed to choose to exile criminals and influence them. After five years of observation, the ancient Yuan Guji can hand in the roster and be pardoned by the imperial court."

"Your salary still depends on others, and I have no face to mention the word reward. All the lovers know the situation of Shang Ming, and each go back and come up with one or two regulations. Retire from the court!"

In the imperial study room, Mo Hua felt irritable and threw away his pen.

"Xia Yan, call in twenty shadow guards to watch over people and make no mistakes."

In the early morning of the next day, Dianhe came to the ancient courtyard to give an oral order to Emperor Xuan.On the broad road, countless people hugged each other and wept.

"The Lord Shangming is kind, and the people of Nannanzhou are very lucky!"

Dianhe immediately stepped forward to help Guji up.

"Excellent! Excellent! With your words, the government and the public are all excited!"

After getting a cart full of fresh fruits, Dianhe went back to the palace, and said this to Mo Hua again.Mo Hua was speechless for a long time, he just picked a big grape and swallowed it together with the skin and core.

Three days have passed, and early in the morning, two war slaves arrived at Jianan County's county government with a steady stream of rations transported by carts. Yan Hong and Zhou Cheng were shocked when they heard about it. Gu Jin and Guan Xianfang explained the donation , Yan Hong immediately sent a messenger to help. There are countless carts rented in the ten counties, and there are even more large baskets full of baskets. .

The ones receiving the donated grain here are Koga and Bai Liang, who are on tall horses, and the two of them saw that the grain cart was still arriving at the end of the alley, so they had to get off their horses, and only brought dozens of bookkeeping officials into the alley, and nearly a thousand soldiers were stranded in the alley mouth.

Yan Hong, Zhou Cheng, Gu Jin and Guan Xian saluted immediately when they saw the two.Gu He was very surprised, and then he recognized his relatives again, and comforted himself.

"Officials receive the numbers and enter the account. Soldiers on the left and war slaves on the right, one picks up and the other sends off. You have ten people, divided into two groups. One counts the carts, the second counts the baskets, the third counts, the four logarithms, and the fifth counts. There are 60 catties of sweet potatoes in one basket, twelve baskets in a cart, five hundred carts, a total of six dry baskets, [-] catties."

Guan Xian elaborated on the receipt of food into the account.All ten officials are clear.

"Wumeng sent the carriage! The carriage is rented, and it will be subdivided in various disaster counties before being sent back to the ancient courtyard for distribution."

"The imperial court has three hundred horse-drawn carriages."

Looking at more than ten kinds of coarse and fine grains such as grains, wheat, corn, ground eggs, sweet potatoes, soybeans, old pumpkins, winter melons, dried fish, kelp, dried bamboo shoots, and dried vegetables, they are subdivided into booklets for each county, and there are nearly two Ten cooking methods, even Bai Lian's lips twitched. "It just so happened that the empty carriages were taken away by the war slaves. Shang said that there are not enough carriages, and it will take several days to complete the work."

Wu Mang immediately went around from the outer alley to the street, led the 33 horse-drawn carriage and left.Zhongfu Road, Dongying Road, Nantai Road and the three prefectures also consciously sent about 23 carriages to Jianan County and handed them over to Bai Liang.March rations for ten counties, three catties per person per day? !This is enough rations for [-] counties in February. Guji's so-called rations are actually full?Gu He and Bai Lian questioned the officials who returned from the disaster area carefully, and then looked at the account books. They were surprised. They sent fast horses to intercept the grain, subdivided it into another [-] counties, and sent people to report to the court.

In the past ten days, Ergan Zhannu almost evacuated fifteen nearly 250 eight-story stone kilns, leaving only three with ice caves at the bottom, which means that [-]% of this year's autumn harvest has not been moved.

During these ten days, Gu Ji elaborated day and night the methods of cooperation among various ministries, including the number of matching officials, civilians, and soldiers, as well as the difficulties encountered in the course of action.
