Daojian nodded, these things were already known in Li Tangshan's first announcement, but the military meeting believed that Luo Yue's efforts were far from enough, South Vietnam's science and technology, talents, and could bring great benefits to the Southern Expeditionary Army, and in Mei Zhu's words just now, he did not promise to give up the land administrative power, even if Luo Yue sneaked into the south of the Red River, it was still a danger for Xianyang City to sleep and eat.

"Luo Yue Fangguo's desire to preserve the living space of the race, Nanzheng can understand, but Your Excellency the princess also knows that the grievances between our two sides are too deep, and these costs alone are not enough, you still have a large number of troops, maybe I don't know when we will go to war again, unless the promise you give can dispel our concerns in this regard, I can't agree to your country's request."

Both sides were not satisfied with each other's conditions, and the peace talks suddenly entered a deadlock, and the two sides went home to prepare for the second round of negotiations.

Li Tangshan met with Daojian and others who came back from the negotiation in the camp, and heard Zhao Zhong shouting: "General, the big thing is not good, Ren Lao General sent a letter, saying that the locust plague broke out in various parts of Yuzhang and the farmland was destroyed, and I hope the general will be ready!" ”

Li Tangshan immediately stood up from his chair and hurriedly shouted, "Quickly call everyone to discuss the matter." ”

After reading Ren Huan's letter, Li Tangshan said to everyone: "General Ren said that this locust plague has the potential to affect Yuzhang, Poyang, and Lingling. We must do a good job in disaster relief work to prevent the outbreak of rebellion. ”

The crowd replied, "No." ”

"How much food do we have today?"

Zhao Zhong said: "Since the new method of farming in Lingling and other places with the general, our grain production has increased greatly, and we are relatively less damaged than other places, so this locust plague is not a big problem, but the farmland has been damaged this time, and this year's grain output will definitely be reduced." ”

Li Tangshan finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and said: "I haven't seen this disaster in this life, and it's a good thing to be able to get through it safely, and this year's output can no longer be demanding." ”

At this time, Shi Lu said: "We can't underestimate this locust plague, as the old general really said in the letter, the number of displaced people in various places will definitely increase. When there is no food in various places, the displaced people near Yuzhang will definitely flock to Lingling and other places, and then it will be the time when I am in a hurry. ”

After listening to Shi Lu's words, everyone also gasped, this matter should be the top priority. At this time, someone said: "If you really reach the situation that Shi Lu said, you can order the county orders to prevent the displaced people from entering the city." ”

Zhao Zhong was anxious when he heard this, and said: "This method must not be done, if you do this, the name of the old general will be slandered, and how will the people of the world look at me as the old general, and it will be too late to regret it!" ”

"So what? This is also for the old general's plan, otherwise, when the displaced people enter the country one after another, and the food is insufficient, our southern expeditionary army is in danger. If you do this, although the reputation is not good, but the foundation is still there, if the old general works hard, and there is a time to become famous, this is better than losing the foundation! ”

When Li Tangshan heard this, he was also very anxious, but this matter still needs to be discussed with Ren Huan. Li Tangshan then ordered Shi Lu and Rigangshan to organize disaster relief, especially the affairs of the displaced people, so that they could be rescued first, and then make a decision after they discussed with Ren Huan.

Everyone then began disaster relief according to Li Tangshan's order, and Li Tangshan and Wu Rui immediately rushed to Poyang to discuss disaster relief with Ren Huan.

At this time, in Poyang Mansion, Zhao Tuo said: "Ren Lao General, thanks to the implementation of the law of Tuntian, Taishan County's grain output increased greatly last year, and then there was grain from Tangshan from Tao Qian, and the people in my territory have no worries about this locust plague, even if there is a shortage of food, there will not be much shortage." ”

The faces of everyone in the room relaxed, but Zhao Tuo, Lan Hu and the others did not slack off at all. Zhao Tuo glanced at everyone, and then said: "Old General Ren, even so, this time Ren is in great trouble. This locust plague is all over the place, and Poyang and other places are rich, so there will not be too many displaced people. However, Xianyang, Daze, Jieting and other places, frequent wars, weak production, will flock to Yuzhang at that time, if the disaster relief is successful, then the old general will be famous in the world, if it fails, the old general is afraid that the foundation will be damaged. ”

After Zhao Tuo finished speaking, there was silence in the house, and Ren Huan didn't know what to do, and now he could only take one step at a time. Ren Huan then ordered Zhao Tuo to preside over the disaster relief work to deal with the impact of the displaced people.

At this time, Li Tangshan was on the way to Poyang, because of the beginning of the locust plague, there were not many displaced people in the territory, and the people ate less a day, and they could cope with the locust plague, and the places were relatively peaceful. But Li Tangshan knew that in a few days, this would not be the case in various places.

Two days later, Li Tangshan finally came to Poyang, and as soon as he entered the mansion, he saw Ren Huan discussing with everyone again, and Zhao Tuo was not here because he was presiding over the disaster relief. When Ren Huan saw Li Tangshan, he was puzzled: "Tangshan is not in Wuming to discuss peace, what is the matter here?" ”

Li Tangshan didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "General Ren must have known the consequences of this locust plague, and this is what he is allowed to do." ”

"Is there a good plan in Tangshan? I've been waiting for a long time. ”

"General Ren, the people in my territory can still protect themselves in this locust plague, so there is no big deal, but I am afraid that the displaced people in other states will flock to Yuzhang, and these displaced people are a big deal."

"What Tang Shan said is the same as Zhao Tuo and others, but this matter is unresolved, which is really sad."

"Old General Ren, let this be for this matter. If the matter of the displaced people is handled well, it should be a boost for the old general. When Rong came to Poyang, although there were not many displaced people on the road, when there were displaced people in all states, within a few days, the number of displaced people would increase dramatically, and I would be saved even if I was not saved. ”

"I have ordered Zhao Tuo to preside over the disaster relief, and the food you got from Wuming has also been put into it."

"Ren Lao General, during the disaster relief, the displaced people are everywhere, there is nothing to do, and the law and order will definitely be broken, so we need to do a good job of stabilizing public order, and if we want to do this, we need two points, one is to send officials to do a good job of maintaining law and order, which must have been done by Zhao Tuo. I want to make the second point, the reason why law and order will be broken is because the displaced people have nothing to do, and we will start from here. ”

Hearing this, Ren Huan said: "Tangshan's words are good, but what can the displaced people do? ”

"There are a few things that can be done by displaced people, the first of which is to build roads. General Ren should know the effect of smooth roads on the speed of the army's marches, and if I use the displaced people to build roads, I can repair the roads between the major cities in Baiyue in a short time, which will be of great benefit. ”

Ren Huan nodded and said, "What's the matter, Tangshan will come quickly." ”

"The second is to build canals. After the locust plague, when production is resumed, if there is water conservancy, grain production will be greatly increased, so the use of displaced people to build canals, supplemented by craftsmen to build equipment, can quickly accumulate strength. ”

Ren Huan said happily: "Tangshan is a great good, so that I can expand the interests of the displaced people and benefit me in the future." ”

"General Ren, I will take this law as a cash-for-work grant. This method can maximize the use of displaced people while providing relief to the victims, which can not only enrich the population in our territory, but also bring benefits to the future. ”

"Tangshan talent! I wonder if Tangshan has any other ideas? ”

"Ren Lao General, there will be a big epidemic after the catastrophe, this must be known to the old general. I have traveled all over the world, and I have also learned a lot of epidemic prevention methods, so let the old general try it. ”

"This is a major matter, and it should be prevented as soon as possible, and Tangshan will definitely teach it to you."

"The first thing is to organize doctors to go to the disaster victims to investigate, gather the suspected carriers of the epidemic in one place, classify the patients according to their symptoms, and prescribe the right medicine; The second is to build latrines and prohibit the discharge of filthy things everywhere; After that, the victims should be ordered to drink as little cold water as possible, and to boil and cool it before drinking; Also pay attention to personal cleanliness, scrub with hot water; Finally, there is the disposal of the body, and if a sick person dies, it is not to be buried, but to be burned. ”

Ren Huan saw that Li Tangshan finished speaking, so he said to everyone: "You must listen to what Tang Shan says and do things, if there is someone who does not handle it well, don't blame a certain ruthless." ”

"No."

Ren Huan looked at Li Tangshan and said, "Tangshan still has something to say?" ”

"Let me ask you about these things for the time being."

Ren Huan said: "In this case, you can go later." ”

After everyone left, Li Tangshan said to Ren Huan: "Old General Ren, you can take this opportunity to implement some things. ”

"What?"
