Quick Transmigration: Legendary Figures of the Ages

Chapter 218 After becoming Liu Sheng, Deng Suimu and I became filial sons

(thirty)
She found that her son was really her lucky star.

Because of her timely response, those troublemakers in the court who wanted to link the natural disaster to the misbehavior of the superiors were also firmly held down by her.

Everything is under her control.

Deng Sui ordered the affected counties to report the disaster and provide timely relief.

Deng Suilu received reports from various places one after another, and the disaster situation was far better than she had imagined.

However, Deng Sui felt uneasy in his heart.

Having nothing to do, Sun Ge also flipped through several volumes of memorials.

The frown is getting tighter and tighter. This is clearly a flood that was recorded in the annals of history as a disaster for the 37 counties. Why is it like a drizzle in the reports of some county officials, only a few seedlings died and collapsed It's as simple as a few old and dilapidated dilapidated houses.

What about casualties?
What about losses?
What about the lives of the people after the disaster?

Although the phrase "outrageous people come out of poor mountains and rivers" is biased, it is absolutely appropriate to use after natural disasters.

A flood that she and Deng Sui were worried about was so lightly described by the officials of the county.

Sunge took the report and found Deng Sui, who was very busy.

"Didn't the mother notice the inappropriateness of the report?"

With Deng Sui's political acumen, he shouldn't be so dull.

Deng Sui rubbed his temples and sighed, "There is something wrong."

"The flowers are clustered together, and the years are quiet and good, which conceals the real sentiment of the people after the flood."

"In the beginning, I was delighted that the people were spared from disasters, but after thinking about it, it doesn't make sense."

"My mother suspects that county officials have concealed the truth for the sake of grading assessment and promotion."

Starting from Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu in the Eastern Han Dynasty, while inheriting the examination system of the previous dynasty, some new examination systems were created.

The examination of officials directly determines their promotion and dismissal.

The examination of officials is mainly from the aspects of household registration and finance, prison management, agricultural development and changes in land area.

In order to get a good test result, the officials did not hesitate to tell outrageous lies.

This is why Sun Ge was suspicious the first moment he saw the report.

For some officials, the opportunity for promotion is higher than that of ordinary people.

Sunge blinked, "The queen mother has already sent people to some counties to check the actual situation, right?"

If you want to order rectification, you have to have a basis.

Deng Sui nodded, "There should be news in a few days."

Sun Ge breathed a sigh of relief, and stopped intervening too much.

Ever since he came to the court to listen to the government and took the power of the country into his own hands, Deng Sui often felt that he didn't have enough time.

Sunge saw the paper beside him sharply.

In fact, as early as a year ago, Cai Lun used bark, hemp heads, rags, and fishing nets to make paper through a series of processes such as crushing, pounding, copying, and baking, and dedicated it to Emperor Liu Zhao of the Han Dynasty.

However, for some reason, it has not been really widely used, and people's writing materials are still mainly bamboo slips and silk.

It was not until the Jin Dynasty that paper gradually replaced bamboo slips.

Today's Cai Lun is still Shang Fang Ling, and it will not be long before he will be named Longting Hou by Deng Sui.

Therefore, this paper is also called Caihou paper.

In Cai Lun's life, except for the bleak death, the rest of the time was put to good use.

Seeing the paper, Sunge couldn't help thinking that when she was Zhao Gao, she also borrowed papermaking skills to help the first emperor rule the Great Qin Empire better.

"Mother, this papermaking technology is of great significance. If possible, it should be popularized throughout the country as soon as possible."

It came out in the period of Emperor Liu Zhao of the Han Dynasty, but it really benefited thousands of families in the Jin Dynasty more than a hundred years later.

With paper, more people can read and practice calligraphy.

The issuance of government orders will also be more convenient.

Deng Sui nodded, she had a deep understanding of the convenience of paper.

However, nowadays paper has only appeared among the court and high-level officials.

"When the flood happened, I sent people to spread the word everywhere."

Sunge saw Deng Sui's fatigue. Deng Sui had worked so hard, but no matter whether it was the court or the people, there were still people clamoring for "the post of Yue Yin, the government of Yang". Blame everything on Deng Sui's dictatorship.

On the one hand, Deng Sui had to deal with government affairs and control floods, and on the other hand, he was distracted from stabilizing people's hearts.

Did Deng Sui feel unhappiness or grievance in his heart?

"Mother, don't ask about your future if you do good deeds."

Sun Ge rubbed Deng Sui's temples, and continued, "Everything today cannot be said to be a final conclusion."

"Thousands of years later, there will be people who admire your heroism, and there will be people who will remember everything you have done for the great man."

Deng Sui laughed, "Sheng'er is more and more able to make his mother happy."

How could this dictatorial queen dowager be able to leave a good name in the history books.

Even if it stays, being familiar to everyone will never be an achievement.

She has been familiar with history books since she was a child, and she knows this most clearly.

Good name?

It's good enough that she doesn't leave behind the notoriety of seeking to usurp the throne.

She doesn't expect any compliments, she just hopes that the official historian can be more fair.

"This is not to coax you, this must be the truth."

Deng Sui's life is enough to be called a major heroine drama.

……

Time passed day by day, and the people Deng Sui sent out came back one after another.

As she expected, many counties made false reports in order to make the assessment look better.

The loss of the people is much more serious than the report.

Deng Sui was furious, and issued an order swiftly and resolutely.

Geng Yin in July.

Deng Sui issued an edict, ordering the captain of Sili and the governor of the Ministry: "Recently, floods have occurred in some counties and feudal states, which have hurt the autumn crops. The court thinks about its own faults and is deeply worried. However, in order to get a good harvest, the local governments False reputations conceal disasters and exaggerate the area of ​​cultivated land; do not count the number of fugitives, but compete to increase household registration; cover up banditry activities, so that criminals will not be punished; do not appoint officials in accordance with the prescribed order, recommend talents improperly, and make greedy and harsh harm, and inflicted upon the people."

"However, the governor kept his head down and closed his ears, kept his secrets and concealed himself, colluded with each other at the bottom, he didn't fear the heavens, and he didn't feel ashamed of others."

"I deeply feel that they cannot be allowed to rely on the court's tolerance and grace again and again to do evil."

"From now on, the imperial court will increase the punishment for unscrupulous officials."

"The officials at the level of two thousand stones are now ordered to check the disaster situation of the people and exempt them from the land tax and straw that should be delivered to the state."

It was because of Deng Sui's edict that the lives of the people in the prefecture and country were back on track after the disaster.

And the name of Deng Sui's virtuous virtues really began to spread among the common people.

She is not just a queen, but is truly capable of becoming the helm of this great empire.

Deng Sui is qualified.

But Deng Sui's brows still did not relax.

Liu Long, the little prince who was born among the people before is not in good health.

Deng Sui said that she really didn't make a move!
It should not be updated for three to five days starting from tomorrow. After May Day, the update will resume. Don't worry.
