After the Taoist examination, because of the relationship between the imperial court system, he could not meet the grandmaster, and the inspector himself had to rush to Weihui Mansion to preside over the second batch of Taoist examinations, and there was no time to meet the middle school students, so Gao Pragmatic was also happy and comfortable.

It is actually an exaggeration to say that he is comfortable, in fact, Gao Pragmatic was not idle in Kaifeng Mansion, he first participated in a group of Xinzheng students who were newly recruited from middle school and paid for it, and then went to visit Su Yonglu, the governor of Henan at the time.

Su Yonglu is a native of Changzhi County, Lu'an Prefecture, Shanxi, and a Jinshi in Jiajing for 23 years. He successively served as the governor of Shouzhou, the governor of Suzhou Prefecture, the deputy envoy of Shaanxi according to the judge, the political secretary of Zhejiang, and the governor of Henan in Longqing for four years.

In the past four years of Longqing, Gao Gong was already in actual power, and Henan was Gao Gong's own province, since Su Yonglu was able to change the governor of Henan in the fourth year of Longqing, it was obvious that at least he was not Gao Gong's political enemy.

In fact, coupled with his Shanxi origin, it is easy to judge his political tendencies - the Jin Party, with Yang Bo, Zhang Siwei, and Wang Chonggu as the troika, has been Gao Gong's main ally in recent years, and Su Yonglu can be promoted from Zhejiang to Henan as governor of the political department, how could there be no Gao Gong's nod?

Gao Pragmatic has no impression of this Su Zhongcheng, probably he did not do anything earth-shattering in the history of his previous life. However, according to Gao Gong's previous introduction, Su Yonglu once made a contribution to the investigation of Yan Song's case and confiscated Yan Song's family property.

When an official reaches a certain level, anyone can do such a thing as confiscating family property, but the problem is that not everyone has the opportunity to do it. Su Yonglu was able to get this errand, not because of his ability, but because he belonged to the opposition of Yan Song's party in his early years.

Gao Gong is also Yan Song's opponent, and he is an opponent on the surface, unlike Xu Jie, who has been regarded as a vassal of the Yan Party for a long time, and when the matter comes, he beats Yan Song again.

The enemy of the enemy is a friend, so Su Yonglu can basically be sure that he is "his own person".

Originally, Gao Shishi's visit actually had no special purpose, if it must be said that there was, it was to contact Su Zhongcheng, who was a local member of the Gao Party or the Pan Gao Party, and that was all.

However, after he met Su Yonglu, he found something interesting.

Su Yonglu has been a little busy recently, busy quelling the civil unrest, and he is quite anxious.

If the long story is short, that is: in recent years, Cao Yun has not been able to pass, especially in the central and southern parts of Shandong all the way to Xuzhou in northern Jiangsu, almost every year there is a large-scale burst of embankments, often "flooding several counties", "people displaced".

If it was in the Red Dynasty, there would have been a large-scale flood fighting and rescue before this happened, and the soldiers would have gone to the wall to block the breach, but in Daming, don't think about this kind of thing.

Not to mention that there is no hope at all for the state-level command of flood fighting, and even the local post-disaster relief depends on whether the local officials and gentry have the will...... And that force, anyway, according to Gao Pragmatic's knowledge, the imperial court's finances are still paying off the old debts of the Jiajing Dynasty, how can they have the financial resources to take care of these.

As a result, there are millions of refugees in the nearly 100,000 square kilometers of the Yellow Plain, and the local government estimates that there must be hundreds of thousands of "affected people" who have completely lost their control.

Although the vast majority of Chinese people are honest, when people reach a desperate situation, they see that they can't live anymore, and they dare to come forward with any evil thoughts, so it didn't take long for more than a dozen civil uprisings to emerge in this large area, most of which were caused by some mountain bandits and bandits coercing the displaced people.

As far as the imperial court is concerned, most of these people belong to the emperor's people, and as long as the disaster relief is effective, they can be saved. But for the magistrates, it's not so easy to talk - the civil uprising will affect the evaluation!

Therefore, unless it can be recruited as soon as possible, it will inevitably be exterminated.

Originally, it stands to reason that Yanzhou, which is under the jurisdiction of Shandong, and Xuzhou, which is under the jurisdiction of Nanzhili, have changed because of the yellow flood, and it really has nothing to do with Su Yonglu, the governor of Henan, but in fact, as long as you open the map and take a look, you will know that Henan Guide Mansion is just west of Yanzhou and Xuzhou, but it has not been affected here...... Then I don't have to say, the rebel army of the people's rebellion is not a god, and there is no need to eat after the rebellion? Of course, I went to Guide Mansion to find food nearby.

Therefore, Yanzhou and Xuzhou suffered a disaster, and Guide Mansion was unlucky, and a large group of hungry and screaming exile troops rushed towards Guide Mansion to kill.

Although these homeless rebel armies are divided into many units, and the strength of each individual is not strong, more than tens of thousands of people, and even a few hundred people, but the number is really large, even if Su Yonglu wants to pacify, he has to break them up one by one.

Besides, he represents the government and is the orthodoxy of the imperial court, so it is not enough to disperse, but also to think of ways to settle these people, otherwise it will never be truly stable.

Henan is located in the middle of the world, agriculture has always been quite good, at this time the "yellow pan" is generally in the downstream of Shandong, so relatively speaking, Henan's civil changes are relatively few, and even with Henan's military and political officials to deal with these things is not very good. Not to mention that since Henan's guard station has not fought any battles in the past two hundred years, it is difficult to say whether there are five combat effectiveness.

However, according to his experience in Zhejiang, Su Zhongcheng felt that although the local guards of the imperial court were not very reliable in fighting the Japanese invaders, they seemed to be quite effective in quelling the civil unrest, so Su Zhongcheng arranged the first wave of the rebel army to divide into seven routes, planning to deal with these relatively large bandits in one wave first, and then the small ones would be easy to do.

The ideal is indeed very plump, but the reality is always skinny. The first attack of the seven-way army actually only won one way, or it was a miserable victory, and the other six roads suffered a shameful defeat without exception!

As a result, these armies invariably retreated to Zhangde Mansion and merged into one road, and the battle report to Su Zhongcheng said that "Guide Mansion is as stable as Mount Tai!" ”

Su Yonglu was so angry that his face turned green, this army asked you to suppress the bandits, you are good, you have come back to your own nest, and you dare to tell me that the nest is as stable as Mount Tai? Lao Tzu has been in officialdom for decades, and he has seen more shameless people, but I have never seen you like this, who can say that your ass is a face!

At that time, when Su Yonglu and Gao Shishi talked about this matter, they even pounded the table angrily and said that they would remove all these rice buckets from their posts and investigate them.

Gao Pragmatic was also full of black lines when he heard this, knowing that the inland guards were all scum, but he didn't know that they could be scum to such an extent, which simply refreshed the lower limit of the combat effectiveness of the regular army.

But the matter has come to this point, scolding people can not solve the problem, all the dismissal investigation is an obvious angry word, there is no feasibility, now it is meaningless to entangle how incompetent this group of people is, the most important thing at the moment is to find a way to stabilize the situation.

Otherwise, in case Su Yonglu can't even take a little small civil unrest here, and messes up the land of Henan Township, I'm afraid that even Gao Gong can't help but pick up Su Yonglu's black yarn. If this is the case, no matter what Su Yonglu's ability is, he will always be the governor of a province, and if he falls like this, the Gao Party will always cut off one of his own arms—at least one of his fingers.

Gao pragmatic thought about it, and had no choice but to try to offer a thing or two to see if Su Yonglu was willing to listen.
