Therefore, Qin Yuan respectfully admitted his mistake and said:
"Brother Chen, I know I was wrong."
"There won't be a next time."
Chen Wujiu looked helpless and said bitterly, "I hope there won't be a next time."
Wei Wuyin said, "Alright, Lao Chen, Junior Brother has admitted his mistake, so don't pursue it. But don't forget why you came here."
"Business? What business?" Qin Yuan asked puzzledly.
Chen Wujiu did not answer, but straightened his clothes, then bowed to Qin Yuan and said:
"Junior Brother Qin, I have caused you to lose a great achievement."
"Now, Senior Brother is here to apologize to you."
Qin Yuan quickly helped Chen Wujiu up, "Brother Chen, what are you talking about? Why should we be so polite to each other as brothers?"
Chen Wujiu looked at Qin Yuan and explained, "Today in the court, His Majesty personally proposed a solution, requiring the Ministry of Revenue to be in charge. We should cooperate and mix some sand and rice bran into the existing disaster relief grain..."
Having said this, Chen Wujiu looked at Qin Yuan:
"I remember you, Junior Brother, suggested this to me a few days ago."
"Unfortunately, I suppressed it on the grounds that it was too ridiculous."
"I didn't report you to the court."
"Actually, I was worried that such outrageous remarks would be rebuked by His Majesty and impeached by the officials, ruining your bright future."
"I never thought that, in such a helpless situation, His Majesty would come up with a plan that is exactly the same as yours, Junior Brother."
"So, in the final analysis, it was I, Senior Brother, who cut off the chance of achieving such a tremendous feat."
"Senior brother is here to apologize to you, junior brother."
"I also hope that you, Junior Brother, will not bear a grudge against me."
Qin Yuan suddenly realized, but he didn't care. He waved his hand and said, "What are you talking about, brother? This is not a merit."
"Proposing such an inhumane disaster relief method might solve the problem temporarily, but it will surely be recorded in history books and condemned in the future."
"I have to thank my senior brother for helping me save my reputation!"
Qin Yuan knew it very well.
Only corrupt officials would use such dirty tricks.
Corrupt officials do this in order to make huge profits.
If it is proposed by yourself.
Even if it can solve the problem temporarily, it will inevitably become the target of other people's gossip afterwards.
Therefore, Qin Yuan never thought about earning such a hot credit and accumulating such a poisonous reputation for himself.
It doesn't matter naturally.
Besides.
It's impossible that he is the only one who can think of such a dirty trick.
It’s just that many people are too embarrassed to say it out loud.
After all, even a silly woman like the female tyrant can come up with this idea, right?
After Chen Wujiu confirmed that Qin Yuan really didn't care.
I won’t mention it anymore.
Just sighed:
"Although this method sounds inhumane, it is indeed the only way to resolve the current predicament. I believe that in the near future, the imperial court will be able to safely overcome this drought."
"No."
Qin Yuan shook his head: "In fact, this method is only a temporary solution and can only temporarily alleviate the urgent need."
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
Chen Wujiu and Wei Wuyin asked in unison.
Qin Yuan explained: "It's summer now. If we want to resume production, we have to wait until the beginning of next spring, and the harvest will be at the end of next summer at the earliest."
"That means the court has to provide relief to the victims until next summer. Even if rice bran is mixed in, does Jingzhou City really have that much rice bran?"
"Besides, now that the disaster victims know that the imperial court is going to provide disaster relief in Jingzhou City, victims from all over the country will rush here."
"By then, the number of disaster victims outside Jingzhou City alone will probably be no less than one million."
"Can the imperial court really provide so much food to feed them until next summer?"
"Even if it is possible, how will we get through this winter? How many people will the court need to deploy to build houses?"
"Can the food and housing problems of these millions of people really be solved?"
