Chapter 564: Reservoirs and Drought
"Haha."
The crown prince Zhu Cihong and Gu Yanwu, who were standing on the barrage dam, couldn't help but laugh out loud, thinking that the Donglin Party and the Jin Shang would really find the time.
If you don't stock up early, you don't stock up on it late, but you just hoard it at this juncture.
I hit the gun again.
Yan Yingyuan took the letter from the hand of the crown prince Zhu Cihong, read it carefully, but said a very ugly sentence in a serious manner: "Without the Miyun Reservoir, the strategy of the Donglin Party and the Jin merchants is foolproof. ”
"It's not an exaggeration to say that a drop of water doesn't leak, it's interlocking, and it really seals all our retreats."
"The Donglin Party and the Jin merchants have already sold out all the grain in the official warehouse, and then bought all the potato flour from the Song family mill in the name of Shanhaiguan, and they have cut off all our backers."
"It's not that there is no other grain on the market, but with the hostile relationship between the industrial faction and the Donglin Party, these bureaucrats and squires will never be able to sell us grain in a hurry."
"It will only fall into the well, and even take advantage of the danger of others to step on the industrial faction together."
"Once the drought is severe, there will definitely be a shortage of food, and the people will starve to death without food, and the land reform in Miyun County will become a void."
Yan Yingyuan's temper is like this, he is serious at all times, and even the prince Zhu Cihong is a little big-headed sometimes.
But at this moment, the crown prince Zhu Cihong and Gu Yanwu saw that his face was serious, and they almost didn't squirt out their snot.
Indeed, as Yan Yingyuan said, if there was no Miyun Reservoir, this land reform would have ended in failure.
It's a pity that the Donglin Party and the Jin Merchants had bad luck, and they caught up at this juncture, no matter how much food they hoarded, they would be smashed in their hands.
The crown prince Zhu Cihong and Gu Yanwu and others were happy, and they couldn't help but mourn a few words of silence for the Donglin Party and Jin Shang, and met such an opponent as the industrial Hou Zhu Shun.
There was no luck in this result, it was all because Zhu Shun's step-by-step plan was too close, and the Miyun Reservoir was built just after the land reform was completed.
Zhu Shun saw the eyes of the crown prince Zhu Cihong, Gu Yanwu and the others, and knew what they were thinking, so he smiled and said nothing.
Before planning the land reform in Miyun County, there were indeed considerations in this regard, after all, Zhu Shun likes to do everything perfectly.
No matter which step you take, any accidents that will occur will be listed one by one and carefully analyzed.
According to those accidents that can occur, arrange them one by one until all accidents are eliminated.
One of the great drawbacks of this is that it is too much effort, and it is very likely that you will die from overwork.
Zhuge Liang died like this, and he always calculated every strategy to perfection, which made the prime minister of Shu Han tired to death.
As the power became bigger and bigger, the scope of the strategy spread out became bigger and bigger, and Zhu Shun gradually felt that the burden of mental strength was also greater.
However, Zhu Shun will not exhaust himself to death, Huang Zongxi, Song Yingsheng, and Cao Wenyao in the Strategy Department are all rare strategic talents.
The strategic department is also a strategic staff department set up by Zhu Shun for himself, and if you don't use it at this time, it's a waste to put it there.
Zhu Shun only controls the general direction, and many of the remaining details are all handed over to a few big people from the strategy.
In this way, every strategy is still as perfect as before, and it is much easier.
Zhu Shun waited until the crown prince Zhu Cihong and the others had finished reading all the letters, and then walked down the barrage dam first: "Let's go, take a good look at how the Donglin Party and the Jin Shang took advantage of the drought this time to trap us." ”
"Haha." "Haha."
The crown prince Zhu Cihong, Gu Yanwu and the others couldn't help laughing out loud again, and their faces were all playful.
I didn't feel it before, but now I suddenly feel that it is so interesting to wait for the Donglin Party and the Jin Merchants to think that they can defeat the industrial faction.
As time passed, there was indeed a drought in Shuntianfu.
But this year, it is somewhat strange that the other bureaucrats and gentry are selling the grain they have hoarded at high prices, but the Wang family, one of the four major Jin merchants, has not moved.
The Wang family is not without movement, but is waiting for an opportunity, when the people of Miyun County are all starving to death because of lack of food, they will sell the large amount of grain they have hoarded.
After all, the life and death of the people of Miyun County is not only related to whether the Donglin Party can defeat the prince Zhu Cihong and the industrial faction, but also whether the Jin merchants can snatch back this trade road in Miyun County.
Miyun County now involves the interests of the industrial faction, the Donglin Party, and the Jin merchants, so it naturally attracts all the attention of the Donglin Party and the Jin merchants, and every day they will send a lot of family members to Miyun County to keep an eye on and report the situation in Miyun County at any time.
In order to facilitate drainage, Zhu Shun installed a steam engine in Miyun County, because the arrival of drought is continuously pumping river water from the big river to irrigate the land in Miyun County.
The family members had already reported this, and this was what Zhu Shun wanted them to know, if they didn't deal with it in the face of drought, the Donglin Party and Jin Shang must suspect that there was something wrong with it.
As for the Miyun Reservoir, Cao Dingjiao had already dispatched 1,000 border troops in the name of military training after the Miyun Reservoir was built, stationed a few miles away from the Miyun Reservoir, and strictly defended the Miyun Reservoir.
No one was allowed to approach the Miyun Reservoir, and at the beginning, there were a few family members who wanted to see what was behind the Cao family's army training, but all of them were taken down by Cao Dingjiao in the name of trespassing into the military camp, and the head was cut off and placed on the official road.
This frightened those families, and no one dared to approach Cao Dingjiao's military camp for half a step, even in the north of Miyun County.
This was already expected by the Donglin Party and the Jin Shang, and they also understood Cao Dingjiao's intentions and why they stayed there.
Where is he training troops, it is clear that he is blocking the trade routes in Miyun County, preventing a Jin merchant horse gang from passing through there and transporting various goods to the Great Qing Kingdom.
There was a family member of the Wang family who lost his head, and Wang Dayu learned that his relatives were cut off by Cao Dingjiao, and he was not the slightest bit angry.
When the drought reached its worst, when Cao Dingjiao went to the Wang family to beg him, the Wang family had mastered all the grain in the official warehouses of Shuntian Mansion.
There are so many multilateral troops stationed in Gubeikou, only he, Wang Dayu, can save all the officers and soldiers in Gubeikou, and no one else can.
Doesn't Cao Dingjiao love soldiers like a son, when Cao Dingjiao begs the Wang family, if he doesn't ask for it, he will wait for all the border troops in Gubeikou to starve to death.
Wang Dayu's mood during this period of time is unprecedentedly good, so good that he is humming a little song every day, and he is happy until summer.
