After Magistrate Zhang left, Chang Le smiled and said to Zhangsun Chong,""Big Brother Chong, please don't take my little sister's offense to heart.”
Zhangsun Chong smiled awkwardly and said generously,""No worries, no worries. I was anxious just now, but I still care about the people. Sister Changle is right, we should open the granary.”
From their actions and conversation, it could be seen that although Chang Le was young, his scheming and shrewdness were much higher than Zhangsun Chong's.
The words he said to County Magistrate Zhang earlier were to establish his authority, to establish the authority of the royal family, and at the same time, to knock down the Zhangsun family.
After Magistrate Zhang left, Chang Le apologized to Zhangsun Chong or the Zhangsun Clan in time.
Such a method of handling things could be described as a textbook level.
"Qing, call the guards and follow BenGong out to take a look.”
……
Taiji Palace was already in an uproar.
For ten consecutive days, the torrential rain continued to hit Lantian and the capital region.
There was a large-scale flood near the capital region.
Li Shiming's beloved daughter, Chang Le, was still in Lantian, and it was unknown whether she was dead or alive.
Lantian was like a dead city now.
Li Chunfeng no longer had his usual sage-like demeanor. Instead, it was replaced by fear.
Fortunately, Li Shi Min did not blame Li Chun Feng.
The only thought in Li Shi Min's mind was regret.
If they had trusted Xiao Fan even a little at that time, the imperial court would have only needed to make a little response, and Lan Tian would not have ended up like this.
Hundreds of thousands of people!
"Minister Fang, how is the disaster relief situation in the capital region?”
Floods were occurring on a large scale near the capital regions. Due to Lantian's special geographical location, the disaster was the most severe. The imperial court wanted to provide relief, but food could not be transported in.
Fang Xuanling hadn't had a good rest for several days. He licked his dry lips and said,""Your Majesty, everything has been carried out in an orderly manner according to the post-disaster measures set by Xiao Fan. There are no subsequent casualties.”
The officials couldn't believe their ears.
" Fang Xuanling," Cheng Yaojin said," your Shangshu Province shouldn't deceive the emperor. In the past, people died in batches after the disaster. Why didn't anyone die this time?"”
Fang Xuanling was helpless. He looked at Li Shimin and gestured to him, Your Majesty, please explain.
Li Shimin threw the document in his hand to Cheng Yaojin and said,""Take a look for yourself, and show it to the three provinces and six departments! Didn't you all say that it was normal for people to die after a disaster? And you want me to issue a decree to punish myself?"
"Did I raise a group of ministers who share the king's worries? Are you ashamed?"
Cheng Yaojin opened the document and glanced at it. The title was written: Seven things were written after the disaster.
Then, Cheng Yaojin quickly browsed through it, and his eyes lit up.
After he finished reading, his dark face quickly turned red. He said willingly,"Your Majesty, I…am ashamed!"
The rest of the officials were curious and took the memorials from Cheng Yaojin.
Soon after.
The hall was very quiet.
All the officials had the same shame on their faces.
Then, they shouted in unison.
"My Emperor is wise!"
"Wise my ass!" Li Shiming said angrily. This was written by Xiao Fan, a man from Lantian County."You officials with real power are not even comparable to an unaffiliated official. You should be ashamed!" You should reflect on yourself!"
Xiao Fan! It was Xiao Fan again!
This was the second time the officials had heard of Xiao Fan from Li Shimin.
These seven countermeasures were reasonable and well-founded. For the strategy to deal with the disaster at the first moment, they could be said to be remote.
This Xiao Fan... What exactly is his background!
Such talent and understanding was not something ordinary people could compare to!
The officials were stunned on the spot, unable to speak for a long time.
After a long while, Wei Zheng sighed,"I…am not as good as Xiao County Man!"”
"We…aren't as good as Xiao County Nan."
"Let's not talk about this first. Do you have any countermeasures for the Lantian flood?" Li Shimin waved his hand.”
The hall fell into a dead silence once again.
This dead knot…could not be untied!
Li Shimin sighed and recalled the first time he met Xiao Fan.
At that time, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling both thought that Xiao Fan storing grain was a wastrel.
At that time, Xiao Fan told Li Shimin that there would be a flood in Lantian, but Li Shimin thought he was joking.
He gave me a chance, twice, but I didn't seize it!
I…have let down Xiao Fan, let down Changle, let down the people of Lantian!
Xiao Fan, oh Xiao Fan, I hope you... don't make a fortune from the national disaster.
He, Xiao Fan, was now the number one grain merchant in Lantian. He controlled almost one-tenth of Lantian's grain.
As long as he was willing to open the granary…
But would he be willing? He sold his grain.
How could Li Shimin blame him for selling his money?
Did the people of Lantian have the face to blame Xiao Fan again?
Regret filled Li Shi Min's heart.
Hatred!
Li Shi Min slapped himself hard.
This action immediately gave the officials a fright.
Only Fang Xuanling was calm and composed, and only he knew why the Emperor was doing this.
