Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Sour Confucian scholars, corrupt Confucian scholars, these old guys, when something goes wrong, the emperor will issue an edict of repentance. What do we need you for?

The emperor was right. Dabao sat upright, like the emperor's superior, nodded seriously, and then asked:

"The answer is correct. Here is another question. There is a flood in the south. What should the court do?"

The emperor said as a matter of course:

"Mobilize food to stabilize the region, mobilize the army to prevent those with ulterior motives from causing chaos... Mobilize silver to prepare for post-disaster assistance to help the people rebuild their homes."

"A white disaster has occurred in the north."

"Mobilize food to stabilize the area, mobilize the army to prevent those with ulterior motives from causing chaos... Mobilize silver to prepare to help the people rebuild their homes after the disaster."

After saying this, the emperor felt something was wrong. The answers to the three questions were the same?

The methods of dealing with disasters are basically similar, which is disaster relief, suppression, and reconstruction. Doesn’t that seem to be correct?

Dabao used his ultimate move at this time. He asked the emperor, when a disaster occurred in a certain place, the local officials reported it to the court, and the court allocated grain, which was then transported to the disaster area.

How long will it take in total?

"Depending on the distance, it could be as little as a month or as long as several months."

Dabao asked again:

"How many people will die in a month...how many people will die in a few months?"

The roads were inconvenient, and it took time for information to be communicated, for food to be gathered, and for food to be transported. All the court could do was to minimize the losses and maintain local stability.

During this time, the people can only rely on themselves. Hasn't it always been like this?

"Has the imperial court ever considered how to shorten disaster relief efforts and protect the victims to the greatest extent possible?"

No one has ever thought about this problem, so this is also the reason why Dabao is unwilling to continue studying with the great scholars?

"Tell Grandpa Huang your opinion. I want to see what you can say."

He carefully recalled the knowledge his mother had taught him, thought for a moment, and organized his words. Dabao said in a deep voice:

"When a disaster occurs, the local government notifies the court, and the court then conducts disaster relief. This is a complete waste of time. The court can establish a comprehensive disaster emergency plan."

It is said that blocking is not as good as unblocking, and treatment is not as good as prevention. The best way to solve a problem is prevention.

There are many ways to prevent disasters.

In areas in the south prone to flooding, rivers and lakes are opened up during the dry season to increase water storage capacity during the flood season.

Increase vegetation coverage, reduce soil erosion, eliminate siltation of rivers, dredge rivers frequently, keep rivers unobstructed, and reduce the occurrence of mountain torrents during flood season.

By establishing a flood discharge area, flood water can be discharged in advance in special circumstances to prevent the river channel from collapsing and causing more losses to the people and property.

In drought-prone areas, reservoirs, ditches, and deep wells are built.

The imperial court would build granaries in all prefectures and counties to store emergency grain. When disasters occurred, prefects and governors would directly open the granaries to provide disaster relief, rescue the victims as soon as possible, and reduce necessary casualties.

When a place is hit by floods, waterlogging, or snowstorms, the local army can be specially mobilized to carry out disaster relief.

The imperial court established pharmacies in various places to guide local epidemic prevention work.

Plagues are prone to occur after disasters. Disinfection and sterilization work must be done for the resettlement of disaster victims, and attention must be paid to isolation to reduce the possibility of large-scale epidemics.

"Disaster emergency response is a regular job. Don't wait until a disaster strikes to find a solution... During the off-season, recruit people to build livelihood projects, dredge rivers, build reservoirs, and repair roads..."

The emperor went from being dissatisfied at first, to doubting, then thinking, and now, a huge wave of emotions was stirring in his heart.

The fuse for the change of dynasties is often natural disasters.

In prosperous times, people can barely make ends meet. When disaster strikes, the balance is disrupted, people can't get enough food, and their lives become unbearable. Naturally, they will rise up in rebellion.

Dabao made a suggestion. If it can be implemented,

Whenever a local area encounters a disaster again, disaster relief will be provided immediately. The people and the local area will be stable, the country will naturally be forever stable, and the country will surely be peaceful!

In the imperial study, Dabao talked freely.

Many of his suggestions are easy to understand and can be thought of by ordinary people. However, for hundreds of years, no one has mentioned what those ministers do for a living.

No wonder Dabao is unwilling to learn from the great scholars. The sour scholars only know how to criticize others and do nothing practical. Dabao's level is enough to beat them.

"The emergency plan you mentioned is very good. Please compile it into a book and present it to the court tomorrow morning..."

The shadow guard brought back the glass. The emperor held it and examined it carefully. Both its color and appearance were top quality, even more exquisite than those in his private warehouse.

Such top-quality glass is actually used to hold beer that costs 500 wen per pound. It is such a waste of resources.

"Do you know how to make glass?"

"know."

"Your mother came up with this?"

"Yes."

Xiao Yunxi was planning to sell Liuli, so there was no need to hide the news.

The emperor suddenly pondered.

His face showed no sadness or joy. He made telescopes, fired glass, invented bicycles, invented cement, made beer, knew arithmetic, knew medicine,

Are there really such outstanding people in the world?

Why is Xiao Yunxi Dabao's mother? If not, the emperor would have wanted to make an exception and let her be an official, or even grant her a title.

"The emergency plan you just mentioned, did you come up with it yourself, or did your mother teach you?"

Dabao bowed:

"Mom knows a lot, and I summarized this based on what she taught me."

The emperor glanced at Dabao,

"Tell me, what else can your mother do?"

Mother is already good enough, and Grandpa Emperor is a little afraid of her. If she becomes even better, it will only benefit her. Dabao has not hidden his shortcomings either.

If you learn math, physics and chemistry well, you won’t be afraid to travel around the world.

Science and technology are the primary productive forces.

If you want to be rich, build roads first.

Supply and demand,

He spoke frankly, and the emperor was completely confused.

Mathematics, physics and chemistry?

supply and demand

I don’t understand anything.

Is Xiao Yunxi really so knowledgeable? He can't even understand the words she said?

Or are these words just made up to pretend to be profound?

"Tell me, what does 'If you want to get rich, build roads first' mean? And what does 'supply and demand' mean? How are these two related?"

I’m afraid you won’t ask, because if you do, you’ll fall.

"If roads are built, the flow of goods will increase. For example, there is no official road from Miyun to the capital, so it takes two days to transport goods to the capital. Cloth and grain are not affected, but what about fish? If a cement road is built, the journey will be shortened to half a day, and the fish from Miyun can reach the capital, and the people will become richer. Similarly, if daily necessities from the capital are sold to Miyun, the transportation cost will be reduced, and the price will naturally drop. As the flow of goods between the two places increases, the supply of fish in the capital will increase, and the price will naturally drop. As the number of daily necessities arriving in Miyun increases, the price will drop again. Supply and demand determine the price.

The price of goods is determined by supply and demand. When supply exceeds demand, the price drops. When supply falls short of demand, it's a rare commodity, and the price naturally rises... Just like glass: when there's a small supply and many people want it, the price remains high."

"Another benefit of selling fish to the capital is that it can help keep more children healthy."
