Zhu Xu sat up and said after a moment's thought, "Information about the sea, bring it to me." ”

"Yes."

Cao Huachun walked into the cabin, and it didn't take long for him to come over with a notebook and a secret letter, and handed it to Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu has naturally seen all of them, and now he just wants to recomb them.

One by one, one by one, one by one, constantly flipping through and looking at it, the situation in the South China Sea and further afield gradually appeared in Zhu Xu's mind, forming a relatively clear picture.

Zhu Xu sat there, holding his chin with one hand, silently thinking.

The scope of Jinyiwei's activities is still extremely limited, and most of them are concentrated near the South China Sea.

According to Jinyiwei's intelligence, the current Filipino. Most of the Lybin fell in Spain. In the hands of the tooth man, further south is most of the fall on the lotus. In the hands of the Lan people, some are occupied by the natives, but in the face of the Dutch. The guns of the Lan people are already in danger.

The most important thing is Spain. Tooth man and lotus. The Lan people are now in the sea conflict is intensifying, Dutch. Lan was arrogant, as if the whole sea was theirs, and adopted an aggressive offensive strategy. At the same time, the Philippines. Bing is Spain. The last colony near East Asia, the Yaren refused to let go, and were trying to resist by all means.

As for Ou. Continent, judging from intelligence, is still chaotic, and it is unable to participate in the contention between the two parties.

"That is to say, Dutch. The era of the Lan people's sea coachmen will continue for a while......"

Zhu Xu said to himself, he didn't remember He. How long can Lan be arrogant, but after all, it is a small country and a widow. country or the end of the chaos on the European continent, the Netherlands. The Lan people are not opponents at all, and the glory will come to an end.

Zhu Xu looked at the last notebook in his hand and said thoughtfully, "Lotus. Lan people against Taiwan. Bay is eyeing the tiger and has tried many times, but in the end, they want Taiwan first. b, or with Spain. Tooth Man Decisive Battle? ”

Now Ou. The colonists of the continent are not very strong, and they do not have absolute weapon superiority, they can only occupy some scattered islands, and they are not able to invade the land at all. The real enemy of the Lan people is Siban. teeth, not the Ming.

The navy of the Ming Dynasty is now mostly concentrated in Fu. Built with Taiwan. b. The face has been staring at the platform. b. of the Lotus. The Lan people are simply unable to divide their forces to defend Liu. Ball.

"It seems that it is necessary to deal with the Dutch as soon as possible. The Lan people fought a decisive battle, and let the lotus. The Lan people understood the strength of the Ming Dynasty and divided their sphere of influence with them to ensure a stable ...... at sea."

Zhu Xu muttered to himself, Dutch. The Lan people invaded the Ming caravan more and more at sea. Lan's war is urgent.

Zhu Xu sat there, muttered for a long time, and said, "Send a decree to Xiong Wencan, King Tang, and order them to step up the collection of information on the red-haired people, no longer need to be obscure, they can be appropriately provoked, and force them to go to war as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes." Cao Huachun bowed slightly. He knew very well that the emperor also had the purpose of Jinghai when he left the palace this time.

Zhu Xu nodded unconsciously, in the near sea, lotus. The Lan people are not the opponents of the Ming Dynasty, the key is how to hurt them and make them obedient.

"Send someone to secretly contact the Francois to test their attitude." Zhu Xu said again.

His original plan was to contact Spain. The tooth people deal with the lotus. Lan people, then with the help of Spain. The people of the tooth have sailing experience, take the Ming Navy to the sea, take a good look at the world, and expand their experience in all aspects.

"Yes." Cao Huachun said, quietly ordering someone to give orders.

In Taiwan. Bay, the Ming Dynasty has arranged a hundred cannons, whether it is a naval battle, or a land battle, the Ming Dynasty has the certainty of victory, and the key now is to completely beat the lotus. Lan people, then deal with the Ming and Dutch. Lan people as well as Spain. The three-person relationship of the tooth man.

Is it a combination of vertical and horizontal, or is it a monopoly and slowly developing?

Zhu Xu pondered constantly, the specific situation is still impossible to judge, can only look at the post-war results, as well as the Spanish class. Tooth man and lotus. The attitude of the Lan people.

Zhu Xu packed up these notebooks and secret letters, stood up and stretched, looked at the water in the distance and the intoxicating scenery, and said with a smile, "When can you get to Yingtian?" ”

Cao Huachun said, "According to the speed of the ship, there should be about three days." ”

Zhu Xu nodded and said; "Let's not go to Yingtian first, in Yang. State stops. ”

Cao Huachun looked up at Zhu Xu and said, "Obey." ”

He knew that Zhu Xu must be worried that someone was going to deliberately fool him, and unexpectedly wanted to be in Yang. The state investigates first.

Now the most prosperous in Jiangnan is Yingtian, Su, Zhou, Yang. In the three prefectures, Zhu Xu is already looking forward to it.

While Zhu Xu was looking forward to it, the flying pigeon of the celebrant was coming.

Gong Dingyu took the holy decree, rode a horse, and hurried to Yingtianfu, he wanted to take over the east factory as soon as possible and stay in Nanzhili, that is, Jiang. All of Sue's centaurs.

Mountain. East.

With the arrest of Yang Fengzhong and Feng Deyuan, the case expanded rapidly, implicating more than a dozen prefects, prefects, and dozens of gentry, which also made the gentry bribe officials, divide the acres of land, and try to evade the court's 'tax policy'.

The governor Yamen was furious, and the governor Huang Chengyuan denounced it in the newspaper, vowing to severely punish these corrupt officials and the gentry who offered bribes.

The Department of Criminal Prisons was quickly established, and officials from all over the country were investigated with great fanfare. The 'Metropolitan Division' of the Governor's Yamen also began to count the acres of land and register the population throughout the province.

The Governor's Office quickly selected personnel, and the first twelve people were quickly appointed, and these Governors continued to express their support for the court on their own occasions, while at the same time scolding these corrupt behaviors.

The grading yamen of Dali Temple is in Ji. Nanfu promoted, took over a large number of cases, and prepared to clean up.

North Zhili, that is, the river. The north is broken and then stands, and the mountains. The East is using the Yang Fengzhong and Feng Deyuan cases as the breakthrough point, but it is also very eye-catching.

Mountain. West, river. Nan and other places have been keeping an eye on the mountains. East, after all, the 'can't wait' emperor is here, and no one dares to despise it.

With the mountains. There was no fierce incident in the east staring at the mountain. The eastern provinces are secretly relieved, but they are more and more afraid to be careless, and they have borrowed from the mountains. The experience of the east promoted the New Deal on a large scale in the province, and for a time formed a reform boom from the north to the south.

River. Nan, Zheng. State.

Zheng. Sun Degong, the governor of the prefecture, accompanied Bi Ziyan and was inspecting the various passes of the Yellow River.

Sun Degong looked at Bi Ziyan and said excitedly: "Elder Bi Ge, since the second year of Chongzhen, Zheng. Under the instructions of the Ministry of Industry, the state has recruited a large number of victims, and all rivers in the territory have been dredged and reinforced, especially in a few places where the embankments often burst, and have been reinforced beyond the original six meters, even if the flood is big, it can ensure that nothing happens! ”

Bi Ziyan knew that Sun Degong was showing his merits, nodded silently, and led people to walk slowly on the river embankment, observing.

The words of these magistrates must not be taken lightly, and even if they are seen with their own eyes, they must be carefully examined.

As soon as he waved his hand, several officials jumped down with tools, digging here, knocking there, and inserting thin iron needles into them.

Sun Degong didn't care, except for Zheng. state, as well as a large number of people recruited by the Ministry of Industry, there will be different people to test each period of time, there is no way to fake, and he doesn't have it, after all, the previous court has already killed two terms, and he doesn't want to be the third one.

Sun Degong was full of confidence, accompanied Bi Ziyan's side, and said: "Bi Ge Lao, since the second year of Chongzhen, taking advantage of the dry period, Zheng. The section of the Yellow River in the state has been deepened by nearly five meters, and we have also set up sand control belts in the upper reaches to stop a large amount of sand and gravel to ensure that the downstream river channel does not accumulate and is heightened. ”

Bi Ziyan was stunned for a moment, turned his head for the first time and said, "Are you sure that your method is effective and will not cause new gaps?" ”

Sun Degong straightened up and said loudly: "Sun Ge Lao rest assured, it is guaranteed to be effective!" Those are our Zheng. After careful deduction, the state government decided that there were three discontinuous reservoirs, in which sand and gravel could be deposited, so that the downstream water would not contain so much sand and gravel, and gradually raise the ...... of the waterway."

Bi Ziyan thought for a moment and said, "Well, tomorrow the official will go and see it in person." ”

"Yes!"

Sun Degong was overjoyed, although it was all done by the previous generations, but at that time, there was no elder Ge to check it personally, and this credit was about to fall on his head!

A few people who went down came up and reported: "My lord, there is no problem. ”

Bi Ziyan nodded slightly and continued to walk forward.

The revetments here are all made of cement, and there are three rows of trees, which are constantly extended, obviously in accordance with the requirements of the imperial court, afforestation and revetment.

Sun Degong walked for a while and continued: "Ge Lao, when digging the river, it also benefited the people around, along the banks of the river, there are hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land, which can greatly alleviate the disaster, and hundreds of thousands of victims were mobilized along the way, this 'work for relief', is really a good way......

Bi Ziyan had his own plan in his heart, and he didn't say anything when he listened, his eyes were always looking at the river embankment, and he let people investigate from time to time.

The finances of the Ming Dynasty seem to be sufficient, which are all based on the emperor's 'internal funds', but they are also decreasing day by day, but what is spent is increasing day by day, which can prevent disasters and reduce treasury expenditures, which is the best policy.

"What do you think about this year's rain?" Bi Ziyan stopped and looked up at the sky.

Qin Tianjian concluded that this year's rains would be heavier than usual, and that if the Yellow River or the Yangtze River burst, it would cause unprecedented flooding.

For this reason, not only him, but the entire cabinet and the six ministries were worried, and naturally, Zhu Xu's pressure also made Bi Ziyan feel heavy.

The emperor has always been strict in doing things, and he will not be untargeted, since he cares so much, so that he, the 'first assistant', has gone out of Beijing to check, which obviously represents an unprecedented concern.

Sun Degong did a lot of homework, and when he heard this, his expression was slightly solemn, and he said: "Back to my lord, we Zheng. The state government also inquired in many ways and found many experienced people to estimate that it was indeed as Qin Tianjian said, and it may rain heavily this year. It's about to enter May, and there has been no rain at all, so it can be seen that it may be concentrated in July and August......"

Bi Ziyan is also sad now, this country is now full of disasters and difficulties, and he can only maintain it with great effort, and there is no improvement at all.

'Could it be that as the emperor said, is it true that my Ming is experiencing an unprecedented disaster? ’

Bi Ziyan doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and he doesn't believe that anyone can foresee the future, but now he has to believe that the emperor's vision surpasses all of them, and he has a clearer judgment on the future situation of the Ming Dynasty.
