Xu Jingchang wrote the letter, packed it in a tin cylinder, sealed it with wax at the seams, and stamped it while the wax was not dry. The surface of the wax will have the shape of an imprint, which is called a seal. It is a secrecy measure for long-distance transmission, and when the receiver sees that the seal is complete, he knows that no one has opened it in the middle. It's no surprise that merchants often use this method. Ask the innkeeper to find a reliable boatman to take to East Lake. When the letter was sent, the food from the restaurant was delivered. After the husband and wife ate, Xu Jingchang settled down Tingfang to lie down and rest, and went out to consult with major crude medicine shops. He's been on the battlefield and knows what to expect. Herbs and food are important. There are few acquaintances in Songjiang, and he is the only one in the group who ran through Songjiang, so he had to bring a few male servants and inquire about every shop.

Xu Jingchang can still think of ways to transfer some rice grains and medicinal materials for disaster relief, but the imperial court is going crazy. The saint held the report and had a splitting headache. Sure enough, he caught up with the flood in the south and the drought in the north, and the grain and grass intercepted were transported to North China, and now he has to transfer grain from Liangguang to help along the Yangtze River. What distressed him the most was that the Yangtze River provinces were a flooded country, and there was no hope for tax revenue this year, and the grain accumulated in previous years was also destroyed. What does he use for disaster relief?

The prince hurriedly came in, and said with an ugly face: "Father, Jingzhao Yin has reported that there is an abnormality in the Gyeonggi White Lady Sect." ”

The saint gritted his teeth and said, "Jing Zhaoyin eats idle food? How many years have it been since they were wiped out! ”

The prince swooped.

The saint took a deep breath and said, "It's raining heavily in the south, and it stands to reason that there will be some rain in the north in a few days!" Check the household registration immediately, settle the displaced people, and quickly replant sweet potatoes. so that they may have hope, and they will not be mixed up with the thief. Also, wearing brocade clothes to check, there are some twists and turns in the White Lady Sect. Where can a woman become such a big thing, there must be others behind her. "He even vomited out half of the land in Huangzhuang, why can't he kill it endlessly?

The prince did some homework and asked uncertainly: "Could it be to follow Chen Shuozhen?" ”

Sheng Shang sneered: "In the Tang Dynasty, there were many different races in the Central Plains, and there were some restless women. However, our Central Plains women are chaste and quiet, and they will not do this opposite. "What the saint thinks about is Zhao'an, isn't it just a female Taoist priest, there are many believers and go to that view, others can hold it, why can't the royal family hold it? As long as you find out the people behind it, why not let the woman go in exile? Return the provincial grievances. Hiding behind and putting cold arrows is not eye-catching, but no one knows if it is cut. The saint would rather have someone behind him and kill the leader, and they will kill each other themselves, and they will be wiped out without the court bothering.

After speaking, I watched the twists and turns again. The two Guangxi provinces were not affected by the disaster this time, but the development of the two Guangxi provinces was insufficient, and the grain production was far inferior to that of Huguang. Transferring the grain of the two Guangxi into Huguang is really a last resort. The saint was worried in his heart, for fear that the dragon king would harm Huguang and go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, although Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been mainly silkworms, but the population is large, and half of the taxes will be wasted if they are drowned. The saint rubbed his temples, as long as one south and one north were not affected at the same time, they could always be dispatched. What is it like now?

The prince couldn't say why, and the saint said irritably: "Spread the blessing of the king! ”

The prince's back was cold, and he said dryly: "Is the eleventh brother still angry?" ”

The saint said angrily: "When is it? I don't believe he's so careless about the big picture. Then he said to the eunuch, "Tell him about the flooding in the south, and tell him to come and discuss it." ”

The eunuch galloped away, and the crown prince and the eldest son, who was standing behind the saint, looked at each other, and there was panic in each other's eyes. To spread the blessing of the king is to inform the courtiers that the saint is dissatisfied with the prince. This trick is very familiar, and it was used to deal with the former prince in the past. How is the prince not afraid? The first prince didn't survive all the time and place like that, so what did he compare with the first prince? King Fu is nothing, what is terrible is the mind that the saint can't figure out!

The Holy One was upset and irritable as he dealt with matters that could be resolved immediately. Suddenly turned to the excerpt of the imperial history, please reduce the amount of use in the palace. The saint replied without thinking: "The use in the palace will be halved." After writing, he smashed his pen angrily, "Thoroughly investigate the internal affairs government's greed for ink, I am short of money, see who dares to think crookedly!" "The daily consumption reported is three times the price of the people, when he is blind?

As time passed, the saint became more and more irritable. The prince helped the saint to help, and prayed in his heart that King Fu had better be willful again, and don't come to the discussion! However, it backfired, and not long after the cabinet was summoned by the saint, the eunuch came to report: "The saint, His Royal Highness King Fu has arrived." ”

The prince's hateful teeth itched, and he had to pretend to be a little mental, and looked at King Fu with "blank eyes", for fear that he would have some wonderful ideas and shine in front of the saint and the cabinet.

King Fu's garrison in East Lake was set up by the prince, and he knew his Sima Zhao's heart, at least the prince knew everything. When you hear the call of the Holy One, you can no longer pretend to be dead. Quickly changed clothes and went to the palace, Ting Yao was worried in the back, can the bear child parry?

When King Fu arrived in the south study, there were already many people standing inside. Flooding is not a trivial matter, and the cabinet is all in place. Everyone quarreled for a while, but there was no solution. The saint asked straight to the point: "Eleven, you can tell me." ”

Fu Wang: "...... an egg!" He didn't take care of things, okay? The capital has been waterlogged several times, and the stink is a little stinky, and there are very few times when people drown. He has never seen what the flood looks like, and it is strange to be able to say one, two, three, four! The Holy One is really old and confused. I can't be too embarrassed in front of the cabinet, so I have to rack my brains to think.

The prince saw that King Fu was stuck, and immediately said, "Can the eleventh brother do it?" Speak up quickly, the flood waits for no one. ”

King Fu couldn't help but say: "It's eight hundred miles to rush up, I'm afraid that the flood has passed, right?" ”

Everyone in the cabinet scolded in unison: nonsense! Who can withstand the flood is the aftermath of the disaster. King Fu is less reliable than the prince!

When Yuan Ge Lao saw King Fu, he remembered Xu Jingchang's coming, and said busily: "I heard that Nanyang also grows rice, I wonder if I can ask the Nanyang countries to buy grain?" ”

King Fu was shocked, this old man reacted so quickly! Let the people of the court know that they secretly bought grain, and he will be finished. However, if you don't go to Nanyang to buy it, where can you adjust grain now? The grain that can be replanted in North China can be used for several months. For hundreds of millions of people, the imperial court really can't afford it.

The saint also thought of Xu Jingchang, so he asked King Fu: "You corresponded with Xu Yibin, have you ever said this?" ”

King Fu made a delaying tactic: "You have to ask." ”

Yuan Ge Lao said: "For the sake of today's plan, we have to evacuate the victims quickly. Fields that have passed the flood are not to be cultivated and must be cleared. The victims were urgently summoned to repair the rivers and fields, and to provide food on a daily basis. Otherwise...... "At least twenty white ladies must emerge from the disaster area!"

Sheng Shangdao: "Is there a solution to the drought in North China?" ”

This Fu Wang cooked! Immediately, he said: "The Tongji Canal has been in disrepair for a long time, otherwise the drought in Northwest China and North China would not be so serious." ”

The saint smiled bitterly: "How can I have the money to repair that?" ”

King Fu said: "If you don't know how to repair, it will cost money, and after a while, I'll repair it." ”

The prince said: "Then we have to talk about it next year, and solve the problem first." ”

What can be solved in front of you? Yuan Ge Lao said a conventional method, and there was nothing else available. King Fu said on the basis of Yuan Ge Lao: "There are many displaced people in North China, and instead of letting them idle and coaxing, it is better to transfer to repair water conservancy like in the south." If you don't repair it this year, what if there will be a drought next year? ”

With the old method, how could the saint not think of it? But how did the Yuan Dynasty fall? The requisition of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians lasted for 10 months, forcing the overflowing Yellow River back to its old course, but it was the imperial court that issued paper money indiscriminately, causing the soldiers and civilians to receive remuneration to become waste paper, and there was no money to buy grain, causing a popular uprising. This dynasty used copper coins, and he wanted to print paper money before, but he was forcibly killed by the cabinet headed by Ye Ge Lao. The scourge of paper money is gone, but corruption remains. He did not dare to guarantee the loyalty of those who sent out. There is not much rice and grain, as long as two layers are deducted, hundreds of thousands of people will immediately become rebels. Nowadays, the price of rice is expensive, and the price of grain is tempting. It's too confusing. looked at King Fu who had no overall view with some disappointment, and then looked at the prince and grandson Li Xinghuai, who were also headless flies, and suddenly remembered the first prince, and tears fell immediately.

Everyone didn't know what the saint was crying about, and they estimated that they were crying the world, and they also shed tears. The atmosphere in the south study was extremely depressing, and King Fu said: "Father, I really can't think of a way for a while. I didn't know that the Yangtze River was flooding before, and I wasn't Zhuge Kongming, so I could scheming with a fan, so let me go back and think about it, okay? ”

Where is the decision-making of the imperial court, how can anyone think about it? So dry early to die in the country. King Fu's words are very reasonable, he has never entered the center of the court, and he is told to come up with a way immediately, and he knows that it is impossible. The saint asked, "Do you have a way of thinking?" ”

King Fu said with a bitter face: "I will enter the palace again tomorrow." ”

The saint said, "What are you running around? Let's stay in the city tonight. ”

King Fu wanted to go back and ask Ting Yao, where was he willing, so he hurriedly excused himself: "The princess has gone out of the city with me, and the house is in a mess." ”

The saint said angrily: "Your house in Kunning Palace is still empty!" ”

King Fu said: "I lived when I was a child, and now that I'm older, it's not in accordance with the rules to live again." I'm young, and it's okay to ride a horse. Or walk on the road to see the people's livelihood, and it is unknown if you can come up with a way. ”

Speaking of which, the saint is not good at forcing him to stay, and he can't break the rules of the palace for King Fu, so he has to let him go. King Fu rushed home, found Ting Yao, told him about the affairs in the palace, and asked Ting Yao if there was a solution.

Ting Yao: "......" disaster relief asked her what she did? The point is on money and food!

King Fu said: "What do you think you should do about buying rice in Nanyang?" ”

Ting Yao said: "They can't buy it, so the court in Nanyang refuses to sell it, and we are smuggling." I really don't have any other way, it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, so many capable people in the court can't think of it, let's die as soon as possible. ”

King Fu sighed: "The people of those provinces have escaped from the water so easily, and they want to starve to death?" ”

Ting Yao frowned: "Earlier, the fourth sister said that she was going to Jiangxi, but I don't know if they set off." ”

King Fu's face turned pale: "They won't just catch up, right?" "Water and fire are ruthless, Tingfang is a pregnant woman, but whenever there is something, Xu Jingchang must protect her first even if he sacrifices his life. I was even more anxious, and walked around the house.

Just as he was discussing and couldn't come up with a clue, another eunuch came to the palace, and said with an anxious face: "Your Highness, I have received news from the palace that the White Lady in Gyeonggi has rebelled!" The Holy Majesty told His Highness not to put himself in danger! Move back to Beijing now! 166 Reading Network
