Chapter 121: The crime is caused by too little labor! (4K) (Ch 121)

“I didn’t expect that.”
“Chen Huaixin’s eldest son has also grown a lot.”
“I’ve actually been able to discover the problem myself!”
Looking at the deduction of the Jiantian Mirror.
Wang Qianhe was suddenly overwhelmed with emotion.
At the very beginning.
Chen Huaixin’s eldest son was just a child who was interested in dragon boat racing.
This led many of their ministers to believe that since his eldest son had been deposed, the second emperor of Yu State would surely be in jeopardy!
He may not even be able to become Dayu’s next successor!
after all.
A child’s character can be seen at the age of three.
He could not control his joy, could not suppress his hobbies, and even mingled with the peasants and cheered with that group of vulgar people.
How could this possibly achieve anything!
“but.”
“Now come and see.”
“Those people are all wrong!”
“At the age of almost six, he was able to discover a problem that the court had not yet solved.”
“Would such a talent lead to the instability of the Yu Kingdom, or even the destruction of the second generation?”
Wang Qianhe shook his head secretly.
He knows it very well.
Able to identify problems.
Or he discovered that the problem was caused by Yuguo himself.
What a high level of vision and observation skills this requires!
“Even many officials of the Cheng Kingdom spend their entire lives in a muddle.”
“Let alone proactively solving the problem, they may not even be able to notice it!”
“Some even need the help of so-called advisors to manage their small piece of land!”
“I don’t have any observation skills, and I don’t want to solve the unexposed problems, so as to avoid being weighed down with a thousand pounds!”
“This is… an official from my Cheng country!”
Wang Qianhe sighed.
and.
That’s not all.
There were still some things he didn’t dare to think about.
For example, as for the next successor of Chengguo, most people are optimistic about the kind-hearted Ji Changning. However, the abilities shown by Ji Changning now seem to be inferior to the talents shown by Chen Huaixin’s eldest son!
But except Ji Changning, whether it is the hot-tempered Second Princess Ji Changling, or the shy Third Princess Ji Changluo, or other princesses, if they are judged by being a monarch, it seems that none of them meets the standard!
Officials can’t compare.
His successors could not compare to him.
Even the current empress… ahem, at least the empress is capable in military affairs, she’s just too warmongering.
“but.”
“If there is no change.”
“Keep going like this.”
“I promise what will happen to the country…”
…
[Jingping tenth year, January.]
[Along with the 10th anniversary of Dayu’s founding, a snowstorm with a huge impact arrived! ]
【Although.】
【Before.】
[Officials from the Imperial Observatory have already reported that this winter is exceptionally cold and that preparations need to be made as soon as possible.]
[However, after learning about this, the Prime Minister only slightly increased his preventive efforts, and most of his attention was still on the tenth anniversary of the founding of the country next year. ]
【certainly.】
【Not really.】
【He felt that next year’s events were more important, so he didn’t care about the news.】
【But because. 】
[Officials from the Imperial Observatory would come to give warnings every once in a while! ]
[But every time I finish my preventive preparations, I find that my assumptions are wrong! ]
【After repeating it dozens of times. 】
[The Prime Minister no longer takes the news from the Imperial Observatory seriously, and has only slightly increased his precautionary preparations in accordance with regulations regarding those warnings.]
[This way, even if it really happens, we can hold out until the court comes up with a response, and it won’t waste too much manpower and material resources. ]
【”But.”】
[“I never thought of that.”]
[“This snowstorm is so widespread and affects so many people!”]
[“This is my fault. I beg Your Majesty to punish me!”]
[The Prime Minister knelt in the hall.]
[The other ministers around him also looked unhappy.]
[They had never thought that in the tenth year since the establishment of Yu Country, the grand event that was about to cover the entire year had not even begun, but they encountered such a natural disaster! ]
[This also made them immediately put aside their preparations and think about how to deal with this matter. ]
[And Chen Huaixin, who was sitting above, also had a very solemn expression on his face.]
[He looked at the memorial in his hand and did not immediately punish the Prime Minister. After all, the most important thing now was how to deal with this disaster! ]
[“Fortunately, we did have some precautionary measures.”]
[“Let the people hold on for a while.”]
【”otherwise.”】
[“The impact will probably be even greater!”]
【Chen Huaixin felt somewhat fortunate.】
[Fortunately, although the Cabinet does not attach much importance to the Imperial Observatory, it still abides by the regulations and will not completely neglect them. It is just that the impact of the snowstorm exceeded the preventable preparations, which led to this situation! ]
[He first asked the Prime Minister to stand up and discuss with other officials to take measures as soon as possible to minimize the impact of the snowstorm.]
[This kind of thing has happened in the previous dynasty, and they all have some experience, so although they are nervous and worried, they are not panicked.]
【”and.”】
【“The most important thing is.”】
[“Our country has sufficient food reserves.”]
[“There are also a lot of woolen sweaters, woolen quilts, and woolen blankets!”]
[“There is no shortage of food and clothing. What remains is to transport them to the disaster area for disaster relief!”]
[The abundance of the Yu Kingdom’s treasury made the ministers feel a little relieved. ]
[However, since ancient times, the biggest problem with disaster relief is not the lack of supplies, but the difficulty in transporting supplies to the disaster-stricken areas in a timely manner.]
[Previously, when a natural disaster hit Yu Country, with the help of cement roads, the speed at which supplies arrived was faster than at any time in the previous dynasty. ]
【”However.”】
【“The road is now closed due to the snowstorm.”】
[“Our advantage has been completely blocked!”]
[Some ministers’ voices were filled with helplessness. ]
【Chen Huaixin also knew how difficult this matter was.】
[He looked at the Minister of War and said, “Then immediately mobilize all the troops that can be mobilized to rush to the disaster area and open up the roads along the way as quickly as possible.”]
[If we only rely on the local government and the people, we may have to wait until early spring to open up the road. By then, it will be too late! ]
[When the Minister of War heard this, he was slightly stunned. In the past, although there were precedents of sending troops to provide disaster relief, mobilizing all the troops that could be mobilized…]
[“Don’t worry, no small country would dare to suddenly send troops to harass our Yu Kingdom at this time.”]
[There was a hint of coldness in Chen Huaixin’s voice.]
[In the tenth year since the founding of Yu Country, during the disaster relief of Yu Country, if anyone dares to take advantage of the situation and dares to come and cause trouble at this time, then… it will be a fight to the death! ]
[“Your Majesty, obey your order!”]
…
In the Golden Palace.
That deduced future.
It made many officials from aristocratic families’ eyes light up.
They originally thought that the grand scene created in the tenth year of the establishment of Yu Kingdom might make some of the hesitant ministers in the hall completely turn to Chen Huaixin.
In that case, perhaps only their own people are willing to continue to stand on their side!
But.
This is a heavy blow at the beginning of the year.
It made them laugh uncontrollably.
All sorts of statements like “divine punishment”, “punishment from God”, “wanton wars and killings”, “too much blood debt was caused at the beginning of the founding of the country”, etc. kept coming out of their mouths.
The ministers around him naturally understood that the so-called blood debt was Chen Huaixin’s massacre of the aristocratic families.
It is precisely because of this that officials from aristocratic families will never side with Chen Huaixin. That is a life-and-death conflict!
“If you say.”
“If not.”
“That was during the tenth year of the founding of the country.”
“How could Yuguo encounter a snowstorm of this magnitude?”
“Snow is blood!”
“Disaster is a debt!”
“This is the price Chen Huaixin has to pay for what he did!”
The officials from aristocratic families even quibbled over the words!
Even though everyone knows that natural disasters can happen at any time and cannot be changed by human will.
But just like some emperors before him, they were forced to issue an edict of guilt and admit that it was their own fault that led to the punishment from God.
These officials from aristocratic families simply used the same method to link what Chen Huaixin did to them to the natural disaster!
They couldn’t wait to see Chen Huaixin issue an edict of guilt to admit his mistakes!
“in this way.”
“We can still count it as a win!”
“We can be considered as having the upper hand over Chen Huaixin!”
The officials were thrilled.
Although this is somewhat self-deceptive.
But they still looked at the Mirror of Heaven with full anticipation.
The deduction of the future is still continuing.
…
【When the national strength continues to rise. 】
【It was also the time when the imperial court reacted most quickly. 】
[The same is true for Yuguo. ]
【It only took a few days. 】
[The army arranged by the Minister of War, under the leadership of the generals, is already carrying out disaster relief work.]
【The logistics of transportation are also being followed up. 】
【and.】
[Except for the actions of the imperial court.]
[Many merchants also spontaneously formed disaster relief teams or donated large amounts of supplies to the government.]
【”certainly.”】
“They are very tactful.”
[“Let the leadership and publicity be handed over to the local government.”]
[“They just contributed their own manpower… and they don’t dare to be famous!”]
[The Prime Minister reported the actions of the merchants in the coastal area to Chen Huaixin.]
[Regarding this snowstorm, not only the cabinet attaches great importance to it, but local governments also naturally dare not neglect it. When it comes to disaster relief, they also report it immediately. ]
[After reading the memorial, Chen Huaixin immediately understood that these businessmen actually wanted to gain fame! ]
【”but.”】
“They are not trying to gain a reputation for disaster relief.”
[“Even if we give it to them, they won’t dare to accept it.”]
[“Their goal is His Majesty’s recognition of the merchants!”]
[The Prime Minister continued.]
[The court will select one or two businessmen for commendation. This has already been reported in the newspapers.]
[Although many wealthy merchants were eager to make a move, they did not dare to express their feelings to local officials, so they could only take this roundabout way to win the favor of the court.]
[As for not wanting to gain a good reputation for disaster relief, that is also natural. ]
【Throughout the ages.】
[Except for the imperial court.]
[Any private disaster relief efforts will be seen as buying people’s hearts! ]
[“Now that you have even taken over the duties of the imperial court, what are you going to do in the future? I dare not even think about it!”]
【so.】
[After the merchants formed their teams and donated materials, they handed them all over to the government. They did not dare to stay out of the matter and were even afraid to hear their names from the mouths of the people! ]
[Anyway, as long as the court knows what they have done, as long as the court appreciates their efforts, as long as the court knows that they are loyal! ]
【That’s enough! 】
[Chen Huaixin naturally understood that not allowing private disaster relief was also to avoid a series of risks, but he was not so stingy or worried that he dared not even mention the name of a businessman! ]
[“The mouthpiece of newspapers has always been in the hands of the court.”]
[“We have always controlled the field of public opinion.”]
【“Even in the newspaper.”】
[“To commend some businessmen.”]
[“There’s no need to worry about the hidden danger of buying people’s hearts!”]
【Chen Huaixin is quite confident about this.】
【Or rather. 】
【If one day. 】
[The imperial court turned a blind eye to the natural disaster. The government’s actions were no match for the people’s reaction. Even if someone took this opportunity to buy people’s hearts, they deserved it! ]
[It is better for such a dynasty to collapse! ]
【”and.”】
[“People from all walks of life should be honored for this incident.”]
[“It also reflects the unity of our country in fighting against natural disasters.”]
[“This is also a good way to build cohesion.”]
【Chen Huaixin gave instructions to the Prime Minister.】
[Although the Prime Minister has some doubts about this method, as a minister, he cannot dissuade his Majesty from this idea without a very good reason, not to mention that his Majesty has hardly made any mistakes so far! ]
【After knowing how to deal with this matter. 】
[The Prime Minister also reported other news. ]
【Wait until the end. 】
[The Prime Minister also told a small story: “Among the people, some people believe that this is your Majesty’s fault, which is why the natural disaster broke out. You should issue an imperial edict to confess your sins and ask for God’s forgiveness.”]
[“I have been convicted? Ask God for forgiveness? Humph!”]
【Chen Huaixin sneered.】
[Although the Prime Minister did not explain, he could probably guess who said this.]
[Those scholars of the previous period who repeatedly failed to pass the imperial examinations because of the emergence of schools and the study of the common people can now only stand in various taverns, wearing long gowns and drinking, and speaking some sour words to criticize what they think is the injustice of the world.]
【certainly.】
[The influence of this kind of person is limited.]
[But it will still make some people believe and approve of their words. ]
[For the imperial court, this is a minor problem, but it can occasionally cause some trouble.]
[“Do you need to warn or detain him? Spreading rumors is a violation of the laws of our country.”]
[“It’s useless. Send them to Xibo… send them to the disaster area to dig snow. In the final analysis, it’s because of too little labor!”]
