A huge flood broke out in Andorhal County, with countless deaths and injuries. As soon as the news reached the imperial capital, it entered Zhou Ming’s ears.

He immediately convened a DPRK meeting to discuss the matter.

At the meeting, the ministers expressed their opinions one after another.

“Andohar County has a low-lying terrain, with nine floods in ten years and a flood in three years. It is not suitable for the people to live in. This is not surprising. This is not surprising,” said Prime Minister Benedikt.

“The messenger reported that this flood was particularly large, millions of victims were affected, the county was flooded, and the local county guards disappeared, the local order collapsed, and life was difficult, and the court was in urgent need of relief!” A middle-level official came out Listed.

“Now the treasury is empty, the autumn harvest has not arrived, there is not so much material relief, you can only allocate a small amount of money, and then reduce the tax for two years, and the remaining difficulties can only be resolved by the county.” Finance Minister Zasik said.

“grown ups!”

The middle-level official said anxiously: “This is a huge flood. The whole county is suffering. Millions of victims have lost everything, no food, no housing, no relief, and they will be all done!”

“If thousands of disaster victims are okay, millions of victims, the court has the ability to help? This kind of natural disaster can only pray for their luck.”

The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Zasik, said blankly.

“How much can be saved! Millions of victims can’t save it, and it is possible to save some of them!” Middle-level officials shouted loudly.

“presumptuous!”

Prime Minister Benedikt shouted at the official: “Above Chaotang, where are you talking loudly? Hurry up and list me!”

“Sir Prime Minister!”

The middle-level official has not given up yet.

“Shut up Girut, and list me!”

Benedikt suppressed the official.

“That one……”

Zhou Ming, who was sitting at the top, asked, “Hire, Prime Minister, is there anything wrong with what Gillut said? With the power of the court, one million victims can’t help. Can one hundred or two hundred thousand people be saved? “

“Your Majesty, this is not a question of whether you can save, but a question of not worth it.”

Benedikt said in a very straightforward tone, without any taboo, he explained: “For the court, once the relief is done, it will only outweigh the gains!”

“On the one hand, the imperial court’s ability is limited, and only a small part of the people can be rescued. On the other hand, most of the disaster victims will do their utmost to make a living, and even make destructive actions, attack the relief personnel sent by the court, and rob the relief materials. Undermine relief work. “

“On the other hand, even if the imperial court rescued millions of victims, it would cost millions of gold tower shields. This is a huge sum of money, but the imperial territory is vast and disasters occur frequently. If all the relief is done, the country can get it. So much money? “

“What’s more, in the post-disaster reconstruction process, local officials, around the relief materials, will definitely experience serious corruption, resulting in the distribution of materials to the victims, far less than the prescribed amount.”

“Considering the above points, since the first emperor Sefiros IV, the court will not provide relief for disasters everywhere.”

“Considering Andorhal ’s proximity to the imperial capital, our best response is to send an imperial guard to block the main roads in the east to prevent a large number of victims from flooding into the imperial capital, deteriorating the security of the imperial capital, and bringing about a plague outbreak risk.”

Prime Minister Benedikt said lightly.

“So in the case of a huge flood in Andorhal County, as the empire of us, the best way is to do nothing, or even block the intersection to prevent the flooding of the victims into the imperial capital?”

Zhou Ming abstracted the meaning from the prime minister’s words and said it in summary.

“Your Majesty.” Prime Minister Benedikt bowed slightly.

“Do other ministers mean the same thing?” Zhou Ming glanced at the others.

“Your Majesty.”

“Your Majesty, although this sounds very regrettable, it really should be handled in this way.”

“After the floods, the court exempted Andorhal from taxation for up to three years.”

The ministers said one after another … Except for the middle-ranking official Jirut who was reprimanded by the prime minister, he lowered his head, and his body shook violently, as if he was restraining something.

“Boom ~”

There was a bang.

All the attention was drawn to the past.

It was Zhou Ming who thumped down on the seat of the imperial seat, making a huge noise, and then said with an angry face: “Absurd, simply absurd!”

“People in Andorhal County pay taxes to the court every year to feed their emperor and the civil and military officials in this temple. They are our food and clothing parents, but what about you? What do they think of them?”

“Burden! Burden! As a big trouble that should be abandoned!”

“Disasters are not terrible. The victims are not incapable of relief. The key is that our hearts cannot become hard and cold-blooded, cannot become unlike a person, and cannot make shameful choices in times of crisis.”

“But you, make me feel very ashamed!” Zhou Ming’s harsh words, and under his compelling eyes, many ministers could not help bowing their heads.

“Girut, you are the only one who cares about the disaster situation in the disaster area. I ask you, where are you from?”

Zhou Ming asked the middle-level official.

“Her Majesty, the minister is from Andorhal County. Andorhal County is the hometown of the minister. I heard that there was a flood in his hometown and the minister was in a hurry. I urge His Majesty to approve the rescue!”

Ji Lute hurried out, knelt down to the ground, pleading loudly to Zhou Ming.

However, there was a sneering voice: “It turns out that my hometown was hit by disaster. No wonder you are in a hurry. If you leave it in another place, you might be left alone.”

The speaker was Chief Cabinet Minister Hugos, who ranked third among the ministers and his position was quite high.

“Sir Haggers, what is your hometown?” Zhou Ming turned his head and asked him.

A giggling in Hagos’ heart, he hurried out and replied: “Your Majesty, the minister’s hometown is in Lordanmere County, west of the empire.”

“Well, let me ask you, Hagos, if there is a natural disaster in your hometown of Lordanmere County? Should the court help?” Zhou Ming asked him.

“amount……”

There was a layer of cold sweat on Hagos’s forehead, and I didn’t know how to answer.

“Sir Prime Minister, what is your hometown?” Zhou Ming turned his head again ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ asked Prime Minister Benedikt.

“Your Majesty, the hometown of the minister is in the imperial capital.”

“Then I ask you, has the emperor ever suffered a natural disaster over the past hundreds of years?”

“Natural disasters are rare. Thirty years ago, a huge fire broke out. Tens of thousands of houses were burned down and more than 100,000 people were killed or injured.”

“Well, after the fire, did the court help?”

“Relief, the Treasury spent more than 1.5 million gold tower shield.”

“The money in the treasury should be collected from all parts of the country? You mean that natural disasters broke out everywhere, and the empire could not be managed. The emperor was affected by disasters, but it needs to use the money collected from all parts to rebuild. I want to ask: Is this fair? “Zhou Ming glanced at the Qunchen.

“Your Majesty, the veteran knows what you said is right, but millions of victims, the imperial court ca n’t really help. The emperors are all governing the capital of the Quartet, and they have the obligation to govern the defense in every place. Can only be saved or not saved. “Prime Minister Benedikt said.

“No need to say more!”

Zhou Ming waved his hand to stop: “Andorhal is only two hundred miles away from the emperor, and it is close at hand. This is not going to save. For the people, what is the use of this court? What ’s more, since they have paid taxes Obligations, we have the obligation to rescue disasters! “

“But the autumn harvest hasn’t arrived, the autumn gifts haven’t been collected, and there is no money in the treasury.” Treasury Secretary Zashik said.

“I will pay for this money! I don’t need a penny from the treasury!”

Zhou Ming still has more than 2 million gold tower shield pocket money, and there are still more than 500,000 monthly accounts in the business district. Relief for millions of victims should not be a problem.

As soon as I heard that Zhou Ming had pulled out the money himself, the hundred officials suddenly had no opinion, so he let him go.
