Lonely non-good minister

Chapter 300 Learn to get used to her behavior style
"Do you have any objections?" Song Yuan asked symbolically.

Everyone raised their hands and bowed: "My lord has done a good job."

"Since everyone agrees with this method, we have to talk about how to implement it in a down-to-earth manner. Ugly words come first. It's okay to take advantage of it. Small profits are harmless. Don't go too far. You and I can live with face. I can pretend that it didn't happen. , but if there is a life lawsuit because of taking advantage of it, it will not be clear in a few sentences, and the most important thing in my court is an alternate official." Song Yuan stood up unhurriedly: "Is everything clear? "

She was warning that some people were not convinced, but they did not refute on the spot, they just waited to communicate with their masters after returning.

They responded one by one, and Song Yuan said: "I will read the memorial. If necessary, I will notify all the adults to come here tomorrow morning. Let's leave now."

They left one after another, Song Yuan casually picked up a memorial book and opened it, Wei Yan persuaded: "Your Highness, take a rest first."

"It's okay, you should settle the residence first." She sat down and took a closer look, and the guards at the side hurriedly brought the candlestick closer to her, leaving the two of them to obey while the others went to tidy up the residence.

After a long time, Wei Yan brought hot tea, took away the cup from her table, and arranged for everyone else to go to rest, and then he stayed in the room to watch.

It took one night to watch, Song Yuan finished reading all the memorials and it was dawn. She rubbed the center of her brows, yawned tiredly, and lay down on the table with her face covered.

"Your Highness, please squint for a while." Wei Yan's eyes were also flushed: "There is still an hour before dawn."

She rubbed her face and sat up: "Let someone inform the county officials to meet me here in an hour, and then invite the county officials from all over the country to come over. I have something to discuss with them and arrange someone to invite Mr. An to come over."

"Yes." Wei Yan went to make arrangements immediately.

Song Yuan leaned against the back of the chair, feeling extremely sleepy, so he supported his head and closed his eyes for a while.

Jun Cheng, who got the news, came as scheduled, entered the room and saw her resting, several people first met their eyes, and then one of them cleared his throat lightly, Song Yuan woke up immediately, in the instant he was awakened, bloodshot eyes, His gaze was suddenly sharp, and he eased up a little after seeing that it was several county magistrates.

"My lord." They were taken aback by Song Yuan's sudden violence.

Song Yuan moved his body and stood up: "Please sit down." She went outside the house with a cold tea cup, took a sip to rinse her mouth, and came in with the tea cup.

"I've read all the memorials sent last night." She picked up the memorials on the table: "Generally speaking, the biggest problem of civil affairs in Northwest China is the four words natural disasters and man-made disasters. Natural disasters are water shortages. This thing You can't just rely on God to reward you with food, have you recruited experienced water conservancy craftsmen during these years in power?"

"My lord, I have recruited a few, but the budget is too big, and the Northwest's finances can't support it at all, so..." They looked embarrassed.

Song Yuan took a few steps unhurriedly: "Lack of money, what is the budget? Where are those craftsmen now? Can you ask them to come up with a plan budget before the autumn harvest?"

"If you want to build a complete water conservancy, it will cost no less than one million taels of silver."

One million taels!
This figure really made Song Yuan gasp: "Is there a complete water conservancy map? Are all the water conservancy plans now abandoned or are they included?"

"Because of the huge cost, the water conservancy map was rejected at that time, and the blueprint disappeared after the field reform, but I remember that it was mentioned in it, that is to refer to the way of storing water in water cellars, and dig extensively in places with water veins. The water cellars, canals and ditches are mostly underground, and the canals are directly connected to the wells in the field, so that water can flow during the irrigation season, shade and sun protection, and store water to the maximum."

Song Yuan thought about it carefully: "This method sounds feasible, but the amount of work is indeed huge, and the waste of money will not be too small."

She didn't deny this idea immediately, and it lifted the spirits of several county officials. You know, it took them half a year to agree on this idea. Apart from this idea, there is almost no other way, but The memorabilia and blueprints were rejected shortly after they were sent to Jingzhao, because they spent too much money.

The imperial court was unwilling to spend millions of taels of silver on this bitterly cold wasteland in the northwest.

"Find a way to find the original blueprint, and ask the craftsman to survey the place again. It is best to come up with a plan within a month. As for the money," Song Yuan thought for a while: "I think about how to solve it. The court will not give so much money. We have to figure it out ourselves."

They are now in unison: "Yes."

"Let's talk about man-made disasters. On the way I came here, I heard that there are also farms in the army?" Song Yuan wanted to know if it was true or not. She could understand that in places like Leping where there was no war, the army would farm in the fields. , How could it be possible to have the energy to go to the fields?

Their faces were obviously stagnant, and they hesitated to speak.

"Is it convenient to say? I know it well." Song Yuan didn't embarrass them: "The Xiongnu loose cavalry have repeatedly harassed them, and every time they can take advantage of it and just be driven away, this will only increase their appetite."

They were also very annoyed by this matter, and each of them could only sigh: "The Great Wei and the Xiongnu have ceased fighting for many years, and if they are not careful, they will start fighting again. For this reason, even if the Xiongnu repeatedly provokes, the people can only bear with it."

"Forbearance? This is not taking the overall situation into consideration, it is cowardice. If things go on like this, if the people of Wei see the Huns as if they were seeing the master, how can they have the blood and courage to fight?" Song Yuan sat down: "Put down the government order. The Huns who are scattered in the crops will be slaughtered, and their heads will be cut off and registered at the Yamen. One head will be exempted from [-]% of the tax for one year, two heads will be [-]%, and three heads will be [-]%. In addition, there will be a generous reward."

They were startled, and quickly persuaded: "My lord's move, I'm afraid it will intensify the conflict between the two countries."

"I don't want to offend anyone. If someone comes to attack me, it will have to be eradicated. Blindly forbearance will only make the other party gain an inch." Song Yuan has already made up his mind: "The Xiongnu who Da Wei was able to fight a few years ago knelt down and begged for mercy, and there is no such thing as today. The reason for being bullied."

"Your Excellency is wise." Cheng Hui and another middle-aged man immediately agreed. They both agreed with Song Yuan's idea, but the other two did not express their views immediately.

Song Yuan continued: "Issuing a government order, each village can organize militias to practice and show off their ability to grab water and fight with weapons. Aren't they afraid that they won't be able to take down a few Xiongnu scattered riders? If the enemy is injured or killed, the old and young will be taken care of by the yamen. What do you guys think?"

Another neutral person also nodded, they didn't speak, Song Yuan took it as if they agreed: "My temper is like this, everything is settled on the spot, and no one should delay things by rambling, and don't speak official words. Detours, go straight to save the time of speculation, you will get used to it after a while, so the report to me must be accurate and thorough, and it is best to report when you have an idea in your heart."
