At this time, it was more than a month since the extermination of Xiang Yu's rebels, and it was November. It was already a little cold at this time. Since returning to Xianyang, Li Chen began to have a high fever. The doctor didn't know how many he had looked for, but the disease just didn't improve.

Li Chen's illness was just a casualty. Although Xiang and Liu's rebels had been wiped out, the bandits in the local area were also wiped out, and the administrative units of these counties had basically become ruined. Officials need to be appointed, and the people need relief. As the saying goes, it is easy to fight the country and defend the country, and this logistics matter is not much easier than fighting a war.

Relief of disaster victims is a big deal. Food is the most important thing for the people, and the people are the easiest to satisfy. As long as they stutter, they will not cause any trouble. But if they are not full, they will inevitably cause trouble. Whether the Qin Dynasty can take on the responsibility of relieving disaster victims is yes.

In his previous life, Daqin was a country that died of wealth. As a civilization of farming and fighting, Daqin's reserve of food was definitely beyond ordinary people's imagination. Daqin had food and could also provide food. But there is a saying that it is good to promote mie and fight rice. How to give this disaster relief food has become a science.

Xianyang City, Afang Palace, the morning court has already been robbed for disaster relief.

There are six counties in the affected areas, and there are not many people saying that there are many young masters. Among them, the areas with clearer disasters are not a slight harvest. It is not considered a complete harvest, but the harvest is not as good as previous years. The local county governments in these places have a little relief and this season will be over.

But like areas with severe disasters, such as Fengpei and Xiaxiang, these places have experienced unlimited harvests and then suffered military disasters. The fields have all harvests, and the autumn seeds have not caught up. In other words, these areas have not only this season, but also the next season. Whether it is Fengpei or Xiaxiang, they are all large counties in plain areas. Each county has hundreds of thousands of victims. If this is not good, it is a big event.

"Your Majesty, as far as I see, I will serve porridge. Each person will put two bowls of porridge every day. In this way, the victims will not be full and will not starve to death. If they come, what strength can they do to do without any trouble?" An official suggested.

But as soon as he expressed his opinion, he was rejected.

"If the method of serving porridge is still feasible in a short period of time, it can be abundant. The people in Xiaxiang area will not receive it for nearly a year. If they cannot eat enough for a long time, even if they do not die, they will be abandoned." Wang Guan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, said.

"But if you take care of yourself for no reason, the people will inevitably develop a lazy nature, which will be detrimental to the people." Another official stood up and retorted.

There are words from you, words from me, words from him, and no one can convince anyone, and they argue endlessly.

"Father, my son has an immature idea?"

Just as the ministers were arguing, Fusu suddenly spoke.

"explain?"

The First Emperor said plainly that the First Emperor seemed to like his son, and Fusu was no longer as weak as before.

"Father, since we must ensure that the people's lives are necessary and we cannot get it without labor, I think we should use labor for relief." Fusu said confidently.

“Work-for-relief?”

Looking at Fusu who was not timid in front of him, the First Emperor couldn't help but feel very satisfied. Work-for-relief is another strange word. It would not be surprising if Li Chen, a bastard, said it. When will Fusu say such words?

"Father, implementing labor-for-relief can achieve three goals at the same time."

"First, since the people cannot obtain the necessary income and basic living security through farming, we can allow the affected people to obtain the necessary income and living security through engineering construction. In this way, the people can obtain money and food through physical labor, which is a must-have."

"Secondly, whether we are in the form of infrastructure or mining natural resources, the labor paid by the people will be converted into something that is beneficial to the Qin Dynasty. For example, Master Li once said that if you want to be rich, you must first build roads. If a cement road is built in the East China Sea area of ​​Sishui, the East China Sea of ​​Sishui can be connected, although on the surface these places are affected by disasters, it will inevitably promote local economic development. Master Li also said that there is coal underground in Sishui County, which is a thing that can replace charcoal. In my opinion, whether it is charcoal mining or road construction, it is a good project for labor-for-relief."

"Third, the affected people have paid their labor and been rewarded. Daily work has consumed a lot of energy, so naturally there will be no trouble."

Fusu said happily.

It really shocked the ministers in the court and dropped their chins. When could Fusu, a nerd, come up with such a perfect plan. It seems that Li Chen has given this kid a lot of tutoring. Nine years of compulsory education is not enough, and he is even secretly tutoring. It is simply terrifying.

Disaster relief is not a simple matter, and the people need more than food. What they need is hope, hope to survive. No matter what kind of disaster is, as long as they have a slight hope to survive, they will not think about rebellion.

It is crucial to understand the psychology of the affected people. If you simply release grain every day and let the people take the food in vain, they will think, what should you do if you don’t come to release grain tomorrow? They can work for relief, but they will think that their food problems will be solved before the project is completed. If this happens, they can calm the people’s hearts.

In the past, Fusu could not think of such a solution no matter what. He must look at him with admiration after three days of separation.

The idea of ​​using labor for relief was completely thought out by Fusu himself. Perhaps he read too many books that cross-age in Li Chen's study, which gave Fusu a cross-age idea. But then again, Fusu is also an extremely smart person.

Genetics is definitely an extremely scientific course. If the First Emperor can become an emperor, he will definitely be a master of the world. It is not an exaggeration to say that the emperor chooses a concubine. The best among men and the best among women, how can Fusu not be smart if the old king next door is excluded? This is also why princes and daughters of all generations have both beauty and talent, because their genes are optimized generation by generation.

So, come to the conclusion...

Li Chen tried his best to pursue Yingyue, and his purpose was definitely not because of beauty. He was contributing to mankind and optimizing mankind's genes.
