"But...you have to think carefully. This is a big gamble. If you fail, you will be in trouble." Fang Zhengyi reminded.
Emperor Jing agreed without hesitation.
If the imperial court directly spent 200,000 taels, most of the money would be used to deal with the aftermath, and there would definitely not be a penny left. In addition, the subsequent construction of Jiang Prefecture would certainly require more money.
Nowadays, fifty thousand taels of silver can solve the problem of two hundred thousand taels, which is simply what we want.
What's more, once Fang Zheng enters the imperial court in the future, will he still have the guts to ask me for money? ?
Fang Zheng smiled and said, "I can tell from the looks of it that you are someone who can accomplish great things. I am honored to be able to help you."
Then his expression changed and he said seriously, "You must think that I am trying to trick you, but to be honest, this merit is immeasurable and its value is inestimable. Fifty thousand taels of silver is already very cheap."
"If you are lucky enough to solve the flood problem, you must pay attention to epidemic prevention. After the flood, there will be a big epidemic!"
"All bodies must be burned on the spot, and the people must be moved to a dry and ventilated place."
"When encountering low-lying areas with accumulated water, remember to cover them with quicklime and isolate those who are infected with colds in time."
“If an epidemic occurs, the patient must be isolated and others must cover their mouths and noses with fine cloth to prevent the spread of the disease.”
"You may still have some questions in your mind after hearing this, but these are all experiences that Taoyuan County has accumulated over the years. Just do it!"
"Oh, and...?"
Looking at Fang Zhengyi talking eloquently, Emperor Jing's expression gradually softened.
Obviously Fang Zheng had taken this matter to heart long ago and had made careful plans. Such detailed arrangements could not have been made at the last minute.
Maybe even if I hadn't made this trip he would have also tried to find a way to provide disaster relief!
This boy really has a heart for the country and the people. It seems that I have misunderstood him before.
When he looked at Fang Zhengyi again, his eyes were full of admiration.
"Anyway, that's all. Do you remember it all?"
"Remember, Li Long thanks County Magistrate Fang for the people of Jianjiang!"
Emperor Jing was in a very good mood at the moment. He directly took the wine glass that Fang Zhengyi had never used and said proudly, "It seems that County Magistrate Fang knew that Li was coming today. I would like to offer a toast to County Magistrate Fang!"
After saying that, he drank it in one gulp!
Huh? This smell?
Emperor Jing smacked his lips. There was no taste at all, just like water.
"Lao Li, why are you drinking my mouthwash?"
"......"
