Wei Wuyin and Chen Wujiu swallowed hard and looked at Qin Yuan with complicated eyes.
Both of them were people who were well-versed in scriptures, and there were countless records of plagues in history.
They have always been wondering why, after a plague broke out in one of two unrelated prefectures and counties, it would quickly spread to another place the next day.
River! Corpses! Infection!
After Qin Yuan explained these three key points, the two of them suddenly understood.
Because of this, Wei Wuyin was so shocked that the teacup fell from his hand to the ground.
A wake-up call, a word to wake people up from their dreams!
He really couldn't stay calm anymore.
This junior brother is really a bit outrageous.
Although he is rebellious and careless in daily life, he is extremely reliable at critical moments. It seems that there is no problem in this world that can stump him.
Wei Wuyin's eyes were like torches, and he said excitedly, "Listening to a few words from my junior brother is worth ten years of study."
"It's me who looks at things too rigidly."
"Yes, the plague and work-for-relief are two different things and must be treated separately."
"Since ancient times, it has not been uncommon for major epidemics to occur after major disasters. Now, preventing and controlling the occurrence of plagues is the top priority!"
Chen Wujiu also nodded repeatedly: "That's right, Junior Brother, your words are like enlightenment, and it has suddenly become clear to me!"
"only--"
He changed the subject and said, "There is another big problem. The treasury is empty now. Where will the money and food come from?"
"It seems that we can only seek help from the wealthy families in Da Zhou to raise funds." Wei Wuyin's face was solemn.
"That's easy to say. Why should the wealthy donate money and grain when they are doing well? If they could donate, they would have done so long ago."
Chen Wujiu was also helpless, "Your Majesty has handed this matter to us, clearly making it difficult for us."
"That's why I said that disaster is imminent and advised my two junior brothers to pack up and run away."
Wei Wuyin thought about it seriously for a long time, but really couldn't come up with any good solution.
He had no choice but to turn his gaze to Qin Yuan and ask for help:
"Junior brother, since you dare to propose the method of using work instead of relief, I believe you must have a solution, right?"
"Damn it!" Chen Wujiu slapped his head and said with a smile, "How could I forget about you, Junior Brother Qin? You must have a way."
Qin Yuan shook his head: "Two senior brothers, I really have no choice this time."
"My original intention was to have the imperial court come forward and offer a certain interest rate to wealthy merchants and dignitaries to borrow some of the money and grain."
"However, since His Majesty has handed the matter over to Jingzhou Prefecture, the room for maneuver is much smaller."
"After all, Jingzhou Prefecture is just a government office with little real power. It really doesn't have much authority."
Chen Wujiu stroked his beard and said thoughtfully, "I will ask Senior Brother Ying for help on this matter. We all graduated from Xuanwo Academy, so Senior Brother Ying will definitely not sit idly by."
Wei Wuyin also echoed: "We are all working for the court, so we should go to His Majesty."
Qin Yuan smiled and said, "I don't think His Majesty will agree to it."
"She obviously wants to get something for free."
"Otherwise, such a major matter would have to be handed over to the two prime ministers, or at least to the Ministry of Revenue. It would definitely not be the turn of Jingzhou Prefecture."
"I think Your Majesty clearly wants to get it for free. Otherwise, why would he hand it over to Jingzhou Prefecture?"
He guessed right.
Yan Jiaoran was just deliberately making things difficult.
after all.
She, Yan Jiaoran, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, has a broad mind and never bears grudges.
