Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 270 260 Chapter Seven: Kill yourself

After sending Li Fangyuan away, Chen Yunfu ran non-stop to the main hall of the Wenhua Palace, where he met with Zhao Ziliang, the Zuo Buzheng envoy who came to Beijing, together with Ge Xun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and Cai Xuan, the envoy of the General Administration.

Every day, he is as busy as a spinning top, spinning continuously.

Chen Yunfu sometimes thinks, how great it would be if he could bring a golden finger of clone technique.

As Chen Yunfu's secretary, Yang Shiqi said more than once that "a young teacher can work harder than Zhuge Wuhou"

This is not to flatter Chen Yunfu, but to seek truth from facts.

The land of Shuhan is only two provinces, and the population is only two to three million. How much can there be if it is in the sky.

That is to say, if the current incident in Shandong is transferred to the territory of Shuhan at that time, if you ask Zhuge Wuhou to handle it, he really has no ability to handle it well.

Because it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

The tributaries of the five prefectures in Jinan, Shandong have dried up, resulting in food shortages in almost the entire province. A total of 520 million people are waiting for rice to cook and water to quench their thirst.

"Tell me what's going on."

When Chen Yunfu came to the main hall, Ge Xun, Cai Xuan, and Zhao Ziliang had already arrived and chatted for a long time. When they saw Chen Yunfu coming, they were just about to stand up and salute, when Chen Yunfu waved interrupt.

"Forget about the etiquette, let's get down to business. The tributaries of the five prefectures in Jinan actually dried up at the same time, causing the entire province of Shandong to run out of food. How is this possible? What is the reason? Also, why is there no sign of such a big event before. "

Zhao Ziliang bit the bullet and said, "Since the beginning of spring this year, there has been no rain in Shandong."

"You want to tell Benfu that the current situation in Shandong is entirely due to natural disasters? Even if it doesn't rain, it is impossible for the entire province's rivers to dry up collectively. The Yellow River and the Grand Canal will all fail!"

Zhao Ziliang was immediately frustrated, and then quickly said: "It's not all, Shandong's disaster today has already begun. In the early years, the upper reaches of the Shandong section of the Yellow River have gradually silted up. This year, there is a severe drought, and there is little water in the upper reaches. It was silted up, and the water source was completely cut off.”

River silting is not a problem that is suddenly exposed in one or two years. It is a geological phenomenon that takes decades or even hundreds of years to form. Just like the dispute over the Huihe River in the Northern Song Dynasty, the diversion of the Yellow River was because the old course of the Yellow River was silted up.

The old course of the Yellow River in the Song Dynasty was the Yellow River in the Eastern Han Dynasty, in AD 25, in other words, nearly 1000 years.

How long has it been since the Ming Dynasty was away from Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, 370 years.

Among them, it is not difficult to understand the silting phenomenon in the Shandong section of the river. This is because the Yellow River section formed when the Song Dynasty diverted its course was completely formed by the erosion of the Yellow River itself, not human excavation.

The river bed is shallow and uneven, and silting and flooding are normal.

"I found out the clues a few years ago. Why didn't you report it? Now, in a severe drought year, the water source has been completely cut off. More than 500 million people in Shandong have cut off their autumn grain. You can't sit still, so you know the report?"

Chen Yunfu sneered, then swung the playbook in his hand and slapped Zhao Ziliang's face directly, which made Ge Xun and Cai Xuan look stupid.

When the chief minister of the dynasty angrily fanned the governor of a province?
This, this is not pure and does not talk about literacy at all.

Zhao Ziliang was also dizzy after suffering this blow, but then Chen Yunfu's words brought him back to his senses immediately.

"I can't wait to cut you alive now, your flesh is not enough for the common people in Shandong!"

"Pfft."

Zhao Ziliang knelt down directly: "Damn it for the lower official! But, but, young master, you listened to the explanation of the lower official, and the lower official didn't think about it. A few years ago, the country was busy fighting wars, and they had to distribute corvees to Shandong. At that time, the lower official was only in Shandong. Zuo participated in politics, even if they found out, they would still speak lightly.

Later, in the 22nd year of Hongwu, the next official served as the chief envoy of Shandong, and he did submit a memorial to the court, but His Majesty did not approve it. "

In the 22nd year of Hongwu, Chen Yunfu happened to be idle in Wuzhong County.

Chen Yunfu suddenly turned his gaze to Cai Xuan.

"Zi Li, is there such a thing?"

Although he is Chen Yunfu's party member, Cai Xuan is too aware of Chen Yunfu's character, and now he is sweating profusely from fright, and hastily got up and said.

"There is such a thing. I reported it to the Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor thought it was normal for a certain section of the Yellow River to be silted up. At that time, the treasury didn't have much money, so I didn't ask. Who would have thought that this year, this year? There will be such a big drought in Shandong.”

Who would have thought of this kind of nonsense at every turn!

"Everything can be achieved if it is forewarned, and if it is not forewarned, it will be abandoned. You six ministers and nine ministers are all second-rank and third-rank officials. You are all fucking pigs, don't you understand!"

Chen Yunfu was roaring in his heart, he really wanted to scold this sentence, but there was no way, Cai Xuan said it, he reported it, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't take it seriously, so can he scold him?

I can only hold back by myself.

Just because you can't scold Lao Zhu doesn't mean that Chen Yunfu can't scold Zhao Ziliang who is kneeling there.

"You said Hongwu was 22 years old, so it's been more than four years now. Have you ever attended a school?"

"The lower official saw that the central government didn't approve it, so he didn't take it seriously, thinking that as long as there is no drought year, there will be no major problems." Zhao Ziliang lowered his head and blamed himself: "The lower official deserves to die."

"You really deserve to die." Chen Yunfu's knuckles turned white, and he said viciously: "Go back to Shandong immediately, first ensure the disaster relief and water supply, and then kill yourself after dealing with it, as long as there is an ordinary person in Shandong Starved to death, Benfu must have killed you alive, get out!"

This is the first time that Chen Yunfu has been so outraged since he became an official, and it is also the first time he has cursed since he became the chief assistant of the cabinet.

At this moment, how can there be any self-cultivation at all.

Zhao Ziliang didn't say anything, and he didn't even ask Chen Yunfu what power he had to decide the life and death of the governor of a province, because from the moment Shandong ran out of food, Zhao Ziliang already knew the result in his heart.

He is dead!
Even if the drought is severe and a large number of people are really going to starve to death, whether the Nine Clans can survive is in doubt.

Fortunately, the common people in ancient times had a good habit of storing food. Even though the disaster has erupted in an all-round way, relying on food storage, no one in Shandong died of starvation, but the terrible drought is not only the lack of food, but also the lack of water!

No water to drink, that is the most terrible thing.

Only by digging wells everywhere and taking groundwater can it last for a long time.

However, in some places, no wells can be drilled to get water, so it is necessary to migrate from village to village to find water to drink.

Zhao Ziliang was gone, and Chen Yunfu's anger had to be temporarily suppressed.

"Zi Li, immediately notify the plenary meeting of the cabinet, and this assistant will immediately make arrangements for the disaster situation in Shandong."

"Yes."

Cai Xuan got up and was about to leave, when Chen Yunfu's voice sounded behind him.

"Inform them that this time what the assistant is going to do is deployment, not discussion. This time the cabinet meeting, what they have to do is only responsible for execution!"

The situation is urgent, Chen Yunfu is about to exercise his arbitrary power as the chief assistant of the cabinet, Gan Gang!
