Chapter 35: Ways to Deal with the Constitution
Dew Palace.
Seeing that Cheng Chuwen was the last one to arrive, Li Shimin glared at him. Seeing that Cheng Chuwen still didn't care, he felt helpless.
Li Shimin glanced at the official in front of the table and handed over the data that Fang Xuanling had compiled."This is the loss of the earth dragon's comeback. Everyone, take a look.”
The personal eunuch very sensibly stepped forward and explained to Cheng Yaojin and the other officials who did not understand this data. Then, he glanced at Cheng Chuwen and deliberately told them that this was done by Cheng Chuwen's two disciples, the King of Wei and Fang Yiai.
When they didn't understand it, they didn't really care.
When they could understand the data, they were immediately shocked by the data.
Especially Cheng Yaojin. He knew very well that his son had given a lot of attention during the Earth Dragon's comeback. It could even be said that his son was directing the disaster relief work.
This time, the earth dragon was clearly much stronger than before, and the number of deaths was much lower than before. There was even no plague.
One had to know that after every great disaster, a plague would appear.
This time, it didn't. It could be seen that the methods proposed by Cheng Chuwen were still very useful.
Seeing that everyone had finished reading the data, Li Shimin knocked on the table and said,"The disaster relief mission is almost over, but we haven't decided on the arrangements for the disaster victims. Do you have any good ideas?”
Cheng Yaojin and the others immediately understood what Li Shiming meant.
If the Earth Dragon's comeback had happened in other places, this problem would not have been a problem at all. He did not have to worry about it and just let the commoners fend for themselves.
After all, the Imperial Court had done a good enough job this time. The moment the Earth Dragon had risen, they had dispatched the Ten Great Imperial Army to provide disaster relief and rescue most of the trapped civilians.
This was the first time in history.
But this time, the Earth Dragon's comeback had taken place in Chang 'an, the capital of the Great Tang. It was the political, cultural, and economic center of the Great Tang and was extremely important to the country.
If these homeless victims were left alone, the impact on Chang 'an would be too great. Moreover, the reputation earned by the Imperial Court's dispatch of the Imperial Army to provide disaster relief would be greatly reduced.
Seeing that no one spoke, Fang Xuanling cupped his hands and said,""Your Majesty, if we want to settle these disaster victims, we will need to spend a huge amount of money. I'm afraid the current national treasury can't take out this money.”
Li Shiming knew that the national treasury could not afford the money. Otherwise, he would not have needed to discuss with so many people. He could just use the money to solve the problem.
Li Shi Min sighed and said,"Don't you have any good ideas?”
Pausing for a moment, Li Shimin's eyes fell on Cheng Chuwen and asked,"Rascal, you usually have a lot of ideas, but you don't have any good ideas?”
Instantly, everyone looked at Cheng Chuwen with anticipation.
Seeing this, Cheng Chuwen could only cup his hands and say,"I have a good idea. I wonder if Your Majesty can let me handle this matter.”
Finally, there was a way. Li Shimin didn't care about it anymore and quickly said,"What good idea? Tell me, if it really works, I will let you do whatever you want.”
"The solution is very simple. Didn't the houses for the disaster victims collapse? I'll just build a new one for them to ensure the satisfaction of the victims.”
As soon as Cheng Chuwen finished speaking, Zhangsun Wuji, who had been waiting for an opportunity to mock Cheng Chuwen, suddenly appeared and sneered,"This is considered a solution? Who didn't know how easy it was to rebuild houses for disaster victims?”
Ever since he had been beaten dozens of times by Cheng Chuwen, Zhangsun Wuji had been brooding over it, but he had never found an opportunity.
Therefore, when he heard Cheng Chuwen say such a ridiculous method, he immediately couldn't help but jump out.
The others also felt that Cheng Chuwen's method was ridiculous and shook their heads helplessly. They thought that Cheng Chuwen was just like this and did not continue to be a legend as they expected.
However, Cheng Yaojin understood him. He thought for a moment and asked,"Rascal, how much money do you need to rebuild the houses for all the victims?”
Cheng Cheng Chuwen shook her head.”
This time, Cheng Yaojin was almost angered to death. He glared at him fiercely and stopped talking. He even felt that Cheng Chuwen's method was ridiculous.
Seeing that no one was optimistic about him, Cheng Chuwen smiled and cupped his hands."What does Your Majesty think of this method?”
"I don't know."
Li Shi Min shook his head without thinking." You heard what Lord Fang said just now. The current national treasury can't take out the money, so I can't agree to your request."”
"What if the treasury doesn't appear?"
Li Shi Min's eyes widened in disbelief,""I'm not sure. You don't need the national treasury to fork out money. Are you going to fork out your own money to rebuild the houses for the victims?”
Cheng Chuwen shook his head." I'm just paying for it myself. There will be others who will fight to foot the bill. You don't have to worry about that, Your Majesty."”
Seeing Cheng Chuwen's sincerity, Li Shimin hesitated.
After a long time, Li Shi Min said,"In that case, I will allow you to try. If you can't do it, don't persist and stop in time.”
"I understand."
