Eighteenth year of Jianning, June

It's summer, and the disaster relief is also under the disposal of Cui Yu and others, and gradually has results, but Cui Wei is not satisfied with this, after several years, he believes that this disaster may not stop in the short term, and it is likely to continue to happen, in order to prevent this situation from continuing to occur this year, the best solution is to resist in advance.

And how to resist it has become a big problem, natural disasters, what can be done to resist this?

First of all, it's still the same old way, led by Cui Wei and other local officials, burning incense and praying, hoping that God will not be embarrassed again, whether this kind of behavior is useful or not, Cui Wei doesn't know, but he knows that this kind of practice can at least stabilize the people's hearts, so that the people will not continue to be afraid and worried, Lu Zhi They all understood Cui Wei's thoughts, and did not stop it, and they also sacrificed to the sky together.

After that, they made a fuss on the roads, houses, and stoves, and this time the huge disaster made them see the situation when they encountered the disaster, and the road was blocked by snow was the most serious problem, so that whether it was disaster relief or escape, it was extremely unfavorable, and the help of the temple could not reach the local area for this reason.

Therefore, it is still necessary to follow Xing Ziang's decree and build roads.

At Cui Yu's request, Xing Ziang raised the height of the Chi Road to be built, and made new deployments on both sides, according to Cui Yu's words, this can prevent snow from blocking the Chi Road in the future, the five northern states have started construction under Cui Yu's scheduling, as for the specifics, Cui Yu doesn't understand, he can only put forward a general plan, and the specific things still need Lu Zhi and Xing Ziang to do it.

The aid of the temple continued to go to the north, and Yuan Gong's heart was extremely cold.

Fortunately, Liangzhou was not affected by such a disaster, and foreign trade was not interrupted because of this, and the merchant travelers returning from the Kushan Empire were still fully enriching the treasury.

Yuan Feng was frightened, for fear that one day the treasury would be unable to make ends meet, so he acted more and more similar to the attack of the people, and he could not see the demeanor of the former famous man at all, and the Son of Heaven also noticed this situation, and ordered Jingzhou, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places to step up the construction of the canal, they did not have a disaster here, and they could support these by relying on local finances.

With the construction of canals, it is possible to collect a large amount of vehicle and vessel taxes.

The most expensive tax in the Han Dynasty is the commercial tax, the second most expensive is the vehicle and vessel tax.

In addition, increase the investment in the appearance of things, let more businessmen participate, easy to collect more taxes, in the Son of Heaven and Yuan Feng efforts to maintain, the Han treasury can still barely maintain the growth trend, this is also because of the talent of the former people, accumulated countless wealth, otherwise, the imperial court at the same time to carry out so many construction, I am afraid that the treasury has long been unable to support.

Wang Fu in the south, after stabilizing the form of Yizhou, still chose to develop overseas, hundreds of large ships headed towards the southwest, accompanied by Huang Zhong, Huang Zhong was ordered to protect, Wang Fu rushed all the way to Funan, expanded the dock stronghold in Funan, and ordered the fleet to cultivate here, so there was no more order.

At night, the sea breeze blew the curtain of the tent, and Wang Fu sat in the tent, carefully observing the map.

The soldier walked in and said, "Captain Huang Zhong asks to see!" ”

Wang Fu nodded.

It didn't take long for Huang Zhong, who was carrying a bear on his back, to walk in, to meet Wang Fu, and simply asked directly: "Prince, if we stay here for one more day, we will spend tens of thousands of dollars for no reason, why don't we continue to sail south?" ”

"You know what!" Wang Fu didn't raise his head, he scolded directly, Huang Zhong's face turned red, but he was helpless, Wang Fu's temperament, he knew, he suppressed his anger, and asked: "Prince, the ministers are ignorant, but no matter what, you have to let the soldiers know why they want to stay here, how impatient the soldiers are, isn't the prince afraid of anything wrong?" ”

"Don't be afraid."

Huang Zhong really didn't know how to speak.

"You leave first, get ready, and go to sea tomorrow!" Wang Fu waved his hand.

Huang Zhong walked out of his tent angrily, and met Zhang Jiao head-on, after a few years, Zhang Jiao gradually got a little old, he was blown by the sea breeze for a long time, the corners of his eyes were red, some could not see clearly, and his face was dry, he looked at it seriously for a while, before he recognized Huang Zhong in front of him, and arched his hand and said: "Meet Captain Huang." ”

"Zhang Jun? How did you get here? Huang Zhong asked with some surprise, Zhang Jiao is a senior old man in the navy, since he promised to find the fairy island for the Son of Heaven, he sailed overseas for nearly ten years, and became the most experienced official in the Han Dynasty.

But this did not make Zhang Jiao happy, he searched hard for ten years, and he could not find the fairy island he longed for, but he still did not give up, during this period, the smile on his face became less and less, now, he always has a bitter face, or a solemn appearance, however, he is still kind to people, and he will personally treat the injured and sick with the accompanying soldiers, and he is willing to share the joys and sorrows with everyone.

Therefore, Huang Zhong and other generals also respected him very much.

"I'm here to find the prince..."Zhang Jiao still didn't have a smile on his face, and said with a bitter face, Huang Zhong snorted coldly and said, "What are you looking for him, this person... Huang Zhong thought about it for a long time, and didn't think of how to describe him, and finally could only say: "This person should cook!" ”

Zhang Jiao didn't reply, Huang Zhong said goodbye to him and left, Zhang Jiao walked into the camp, Wang Fu saw that it was him, interrupted his visit, and let him sit beside him, pointed to the map on the case, and asked: "I heard that there are many reefs here... But really? ”

"Exactly..."

Wang Fu talked to him, and the two kept writing on the map, and after an hour or so, the entire map was marked very clearly, where supplies could be carried out, where was the dangerous area, they were all marked one by one, Wang Fu nodded and said, "You will leave!" Zhang Jiao didn't say much more, said goodbye and left.

The next day, Huang Zhong gathered his soldiers, mobilized the fleet, and prepared to sail, at this time, a few small boats came from the outer seas, if it were not for the Han flag hanging on the ship, Huang Zhong would have ordered a siege, Wang Fu asked people to receive them, and when they landed on the shore, Huang Zhong found out that these were the sailors of the fleet of Funan.

Wang Fu brought them in, on the grounds that he was not very familiar with the surrounding seas, asked the fleet of Funan to open the way for them, and also gave them a lot of money, the boatmen of Funan were very happy, they were originally sent by the king of Funan, to obey all the orders of Wang Fu, not to mention that Wang Fu also gave them money, they immediately set out, in the front began to lead the way for the fleet.

And the fleet followed these ships completely, sailing slowly.

Huang Zhong stood on the bow of the boat, turned his head, looked at Wang Fu standing leisurely on the main boat, and was speechless.
