God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Li Er was also in shock.

Even, a little confused.

After a long while, he asked: "All these years, I have worked diligently and cared for the people, and devoted myself to the great Tang society. I never thought that the sky would be dissatisfied with such heavy rain. Why?"

No one could answer his question.

Li Er asked again: "Dai Qing's family, how is the disaster situation in Chang'an City now?"

Dai Zhou said: "Your Majesty, Chang'an City was the most damaged...Chang'an City originally had dozens of large ditches for flood discharge, and there was no accumulation of water in normal heavy rains. Therefore, for many years, no one paid attention to this problem. , This heavy rain has blocked the flood discharge ditch, and Chang'an City is covered with ocean, like a lake. Seventy percent of the houses in the city are all submerged in the flood, and [-]% of the houses are destroyed. There is damage... Even the mansion of the minister is in danger, and now, it can't be lived in..."

Dai Zhou's mansion is located in a low-lying place, and the heavy rain hit, and it was almost washed away by the flood.

Li Er frowned.

He didn't expect the flood to be so serious.

Li Er sighed and said, "Since that's the case, I want to choose a capable minister to take full charge of the disaster relief work in the entire Chang'an City. Who do you loves think can take up this important task?"

Chen Shuda, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I recommend the minister of the Ministry of Industry..."

Wang Gui also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I recommend my son Wang Jingzhi."

Changsun Wuji was not to be outdone: "Your Majesty..."

"The minister recommended..."

"Master Zhang has always been good at disaster relief, I think he is the most suitable."

All of a sudden, the ministers stood up one after another, electing whoever they thought was suitable.

More than a dozen ministers actually elected more than a dozen people.

The reason why these guys are so active is not because they want to save the city of Chang'an, but because there are countless benefits to be the chief officer of the disaster relief.

……

Chapter 1240 Recommended

Li Er has a big head.

He suddenly looked at Dai Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Just now, when everyone jumped out to elect an official to be the chief disaster relief officer of Chang'an City, only Dai Zhou remained silent.

Li Er asked curiously: "Dai Aiqing, you have never elected anyone. Why? In the past, the Ministry of Civil Affairs was the main force for disaster relief. Now that Chang'an City is suffering from floods, why not elect one person from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to be the chief official, and then others What do you think of the transfer of two deputies from the Ministry?"

Dai Zhou thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that the disaster relief in Chang'an City is of great importance, and no one in the Ministry of Civil Affairs is competent."

Ok?

These words made everyone including Li Er amused.

Serving as the chief officer of disaster relief has many benefits, and you can also make meritorious service. In the future, the future is limitless. Even if Dai Zhou has no relatives and friends to recommend, it is a great favor to give this favor to anyone present.He actually said no.

For a moment, everyone looked at Dai Zhou with astonished expressions, wondering what kind of medicine was being sold in Dai Zhou's gourd.

Li Er asked: "Dai Aiqing, why did you say that?"

Dai Zhou smiled wryly, and said, "Your Majesty, the city of Chang'an was seriously damaged in this flood, among other things, the city walls, the walls of the various squares, roads, and houses of the people all need major repairs, and food is a big problem... All in all, to restore the vitality of Chang'an City, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has calculated that at least 200 million guan is needed... But now, the entire treasury adds up to only more than 100 million guan, and this 100 million more guan has to be allocated to disaster relief in various places. In the end, no more than 30 guan will fall into the city of Chang'an... As for food, there is nowhere to go. Your Majesty, it is now autumn, and taxes have not yet been collected in various places. There is no money and food... just now Lord Wang Gui recommended His son, Wang Jingzhi, I think that Wang Jingzhi can take on this important task, as the saying goes, you don't avoid your relatives when you are a virtuous person, so I ask your majesty to complete my lord Wang."

bass.

A figure suddenly popped out.

It was Wang Gui.

Wang Gui said loudly: "Master Dai, you misunderstood, I did not recommend it."

"You have……"

"I do not have……"

"You just said it, and everyone heard it."

"I didn't, I didn't, I didn't..."

In desperation, Wang Gui started to act like a child.

no way.

If he didn't play tricks and really let Wang Jingzhi serve as the chief officer of Chang'an City's disaster relief, it would be over.

If you want money but no money, if you want food but no food, save the disaster.

The disaster relief in Chang'an City is like a big fire pit, whoever jumps into it will die.

Seeing Wang Gui's appearance, Li Er was a little unhappy, and he looked at Changsun Wuji again.

Changsun Wuji hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister has never spoken..."

Li Er looked at Chen Shuda again.

Chen Shuda was startled: "Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered that the official from the Ministry of Rites was injured a few days ago, and I'm afraid he won't be able to rescue the disaster for the time being."

……

The dozen or so ministers who jumped out to be elected just now all said that they hadn't said it just now.

For a while, no suitable person could be found to be the chief officer of Chang'an City's disaster relief.

Li Er's face was gloomy.

Is this my subject?

When there are benefits, everyone jumps out.

Encountered difficulties, but all of them flinched.

He was angry.

But it cannot be expressed directly.

At a glance, the ministers of civil and military affairs in the Tai Chi Hall all lowered their heads.

It was quiet.

Everyone has a tacit agreement on this matter.
