In Jiujiang, the former site of the Yangtze River flood control camp, the monument to the heroes and martyrs of flood control was erected, and Zhu Yunwen took Zhu Di, Yan Zhenzhi and a group of Jiangxi officials to attend.

Burn incense to worship the heavens and recite eulogies.

"Falling leaves and autumn yellow, and passing through the middle of the Yuan, all the past, thousands of generals and school guards bravely broke the riverside, blood sprinkled on the embankment, with life and spirit to carry out a singing and crying flood control battle, and practiced the solemn oath of 'swearing to live and die with the embankment'.

Although these selfless and fearless warriors have left the land they have protected forever, the spirit and deeds they left behind will be eternal, encouraging our descendants to face difficulties and dangers more bravely, and inspiring the whole world that our Ming people will no longer be afraid in the face of natural disasters in the future.

The heroic spirit is not far away, and the heroic spirit lasts forever! ”

The memorial event lasted for an hour, and after the end, Zhu Yunwen hurriedly sat on his royal chariot.

He was going back to Nanjing.

Because of this flood, he, the emperor, has been in Jiangxi for nearly two months, and the cabinet has urged him, the emperor, many times.

As for the future affairs in Jiangxi, the cabinet has drawn up a charter to organize the people of Jiangxi to make the transition by building roads and rebuilding embankments within the next two years, and at the same time exempt Jiangxi from one taxable conscription for the next three years.

What remains to be dealt with is the matter of awarding medals, and it is naturally impossible for the 700,000 troops to go to Nanjing to receive the medals, and when the Ministry of Industry is ready, Zhu Yunwen will first award them to representatives like Zhu Di on the National Day of Nanjing, and the rest will be sent to the provincial capital departments and the Nanjing camp, and their respective chief officials will issue them by themselves.

As for the bereavement silver and reward silver, it is naturally arranged by the logistics department and distributed one by one according to the roster.

"This flood incident has taught me a truth."

In the imperial chariot, Zhu Di and Zhu Yunwen traveled in the same car, although the latter had lost a lot of weight, but his spirit was extremely excited.

"Looking at the history, natural disasters are often followed by great turmoil, resulting in local erosion, but in fact it is only caused by cowardice and passivity, as long as the court and the local government work together to resist, the so-called natural disasters may not necessarily be unable to resist."

The ancients were afraid of the sky like a tiger, and whenever there was a disaster, the imperial court often just sat back and watched the disaster happen, and at most gave relief afterwards or supplemented by a tax exemption policy, which was a negative mentality.

"We can't expect the heavens to protect everything, in the face of disasters, only we can save ourselves is the only way to survive."

Zhu Yunwen said movingly: "When the flood was at its peak, the water in Shangrao was submerged to the thigh, and I once thought that Jiangxi was going to end, but as a result, the flood retreated, except for the destruction of tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, Jiangxi's vitality was not greatly damaged, and none of the people in Jiangxi were starved to death because of the flood. ”

Zhu Di also sighed and nodded incessantly.

With this victory in the fight against the flood, in the future, the Ming Dynasty will not be afraid of any major disaster anywhere, the emperor does not have to issue an edict, and the local people will not be deceived by traitors, thinking that this is the emperor's unreasonableness, which provokes the anger of the sky, and it is by no means a signal that bullshit wants to change the dynasty.

This is a bonus.

"When I return to Nanjing, I plan to let Gao Chi organize it, and put this flood fight in next year's imperial examination, to change the views of the low-level scholars on disaster response and disaster relief, and even more to eradicate the ignorance and ignorance in the hearts of some of them, similar to the ignorant and mediocre ministers in Jiangxi who sent the East China Sea to find the dragon king, can no longer appear."

Vulgarity, laziness, and neglect.

And blaming the heavy rain on the dragon king's anger is negligence.

How many local officials are so ignorant and ignorant, expecting this group of people to shift the blame to the sky as soon as they encounter a big disaster, and they can sleep at home and eat minced meat to protect the people, so it is strange that the people can live.

In August of the fourth year of Jianwen, Zhu Yunwen returned to Beijing and accepted the hundred officials waiting for He Jie.

The fact that he was on the front line to command the victory of the flood fight added three points of divine power to Zhu Yunwen, the emperor's dragon robe.

"On the top of history, only Emperor Yu is the one who protects the people to defeat the flood and drive away the natural disaster.

As soon as he returned to the palace for a hot bath, Zhu Yunwen met Yang Shiqi, the head of the cabinet, in the Qianqing Palace with a silk robe.

"Okay, I've heard enough flattery in this time."

Shaking his head and chuckling, Zhu Yunwen said straight to the point: "Speaking of business, the cabinet is urging so tightly, but something big has happened in Beijing." ”

In the end, it was his hometown, this time the disaster was so serious, Yang Shiqi's mood was obviously not much better, and seeing that Zhu Yunwen didn't want to talk about the matter here, he changed the topic.

"There are no big things, but there are a lot of troubles."

Hesitating, Yang Shiqi sighed and said: "During this time, because of the impact of the disaster in Jiangxi, the grain prices in various provinces and localities have risen slightly, and the official warehouse grain of the imperial court has to give priority to the supply of Jiangxi disaster relief, coupled with the estimates of the cabinet, it will be difficult for Jiangxi to resume farming in the whole province next year, so it is necessary to use a lot of grain reserves, and it is necessary to buy a lot of grain from large households in various provinces." ”

Jiangxi's eight million mouths are waiting for the grain to be put into the pot, this is a major matter that Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, and the cabinet are always concerned about, Xia Yuanji, the head of the household, has always been in the name of picking the door, but he is generously tight on this matter, and he doesn't even blink his eyelids when he raises the treasury.

At this time, there is always a group of people who want to earn more money from the state and deduct a few catties of fat from the state treasury.

Why should we choose to buy instead of using all the grain reserves in the official warehouse, because some of them are strategic reserves, that is, they are used to supply the front-line army and prevent uncertain new disasters, and this grain is absolutely untouchable.

Zhu Yunwen's face suddenly became much uglier.

He was on the front line day and night, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were sacrificing their lives and forgetting their deaths, and even the big families in Jiangxi were generous, and in the rear of Nanjing, there were a bunch of people who wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune and pull the back legs of the imperial court!

"There's nothing to say, there's a family to check the family, and a family to kill the family!"

In this kind of matter, Zhu Yunwen did not have the slightest mercy, he had a straight face, like a judge of the king of Hades, and had already pronounced the fate of that group of people.

After a pause, he glanced at Yang Shiqi's face, and when he contacted Yang Shiqi's words earlier, Zhu Yunwen suddenly frowned.

"What, there's a tricky point?"

Yang Shiqi suddenly sighed and replied honestly: "Back to Your Majesty, this time the price of grain has risen, and there seem to be the shadows of several clan princes and vassal kings behind it. ”

The atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace suddenly became solemn.
