Although France and England and other countries thought that Da Zhou would not lose badly against the Rus, they did not expect that Da Zhou would win so easily.

Because of the annihilation of the Rus' army, except for the high-level of the Great Zhou, many people don't understand, why did the Rus' people lose so badly?

And so fast?

They are puzzled.

However, because of this, they had to write a handwritten letter to order people to take it back to China, and began to reassess the national strength of the Great Zhou.

In the past, in the eyes of the European powers, although the Great Zhou was rich and civilized, there was a big gap between it and Europe militarily.

Of course, this gap is in the individual forces.

If we change the national strength of the whole country, with a vast territory and a population of hundreds of millions of people, the gap between it and the European powers is not obvious.

Even, in terms of overall national strength, the European powers unanimously believed that the comprehensive national strength of the Great Zhou was even much stronger than that of many second-rate European powers.

……

The war on the Warat side had just ended, and Zhang Lingyang's mood had not improved for a few days, and he was inseparable from the complicated affairs in the country.

After the time entered June, torrential rains fell in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River, and the embankments and lakes burst one after another, and as many as 3 million people were affected.

After the disaster in this era, what the imperial court can do is actually very simple, which is nothing more than to give relief to the victims.

As for blocking the river embankment and lake in time, it is actually very difficult to do it without large machinery.

In later generations, there will be people's soldiers who go into the water to block the breach, but in this era, don't think about this kind of thing.

Even if Zhang Lingyang, the Son of Heaven, personally issued an order, I am afraid that no one below will listen.

As for the post-disaster reconstruction work that follows, in fact, it is also difficult to do.

The point is that from the imperial court to the localities, officials at all levels do not have this awareness, and can only watch the people suffer and suffer without starving to death, which is considered a great merit.

Heavier than words and lighter than deeds, it seems to be a common problem of the eight strands.

The Great Zhou Dynasty is no exception, nearly 200 years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, scholars have commented on the government and politics endlessly, citing classic evidence, as if you don't listen to him, you are a sinner through the ages.

Zhang Lingyang, the son of heaven, is deeply touched by this.

Officials at all levels advised Zhang Lingyang, all of whom were on the sidelines and fought according to 'reason', which sometimes made Zhang Lingyang feel that he was a complete faint king.

But when it comes to practical issues, either this is blamed on that, or everything is left to Zhang Lingyang, the son of heaven, to be arbitrary.

But once Zhang Lingyang decided how to do something, the ministers would oppose it for various reasons.

Anyway, the opinion against the Son of Heaven is right!

It is also for this reason that at the time of Enke last time, Zhang Lingyang made up his mind not to take the soldiers with eight shares, and selected a few cadres from them......

Nowadays, there is a big flood in the south of the Yangtze River, and Yangzhou, Jiangning, and Hangzhou have suffered the least losses.

Although these places are the richest, the reason why the river embankment is already strong is included, but more because Zhu Yang, the prefect of Yangzhou, Zhou Chang, the prefect of Jiangning, and Li Tai, the prefect of Hangzhou, are all people who can do things and dare to do things.

Seeing the heavy rain in recent days, Zhu Yang and others began to worry about whether floods would break out.

Therefore, they braved the torrential rain to recruit people to strengthen the embankment, which prevented a large area of the embankment from bursting.

Even if a small number of river embankments burst, they are still on the front line of command and dispatch, which plays a good demonstration role.

Of course, if you don't have the ability yourself, you are afraid that going to the front line to command will be counterproductive.

I hope you don't doubt the officer's ability to do things.

But Zhu Yang, Zhou Chang, and Li Tai are different, and Zhang Lingyang has great expectations for the three of them.

Zhu Yang and the three of them also knew this, so in order to prove their ability, the three of them never spared their lives when they started things.

These days, the actions of the three of them have entered Zhang Lingyang's ears one by one through the secret reports of Jinyiwei's secret agents.

In this regard, Zhang Lingyang is also quite satisfied.

But the other officials in Jiangnan were not so satisfied.

Even, for the vast majority of officials in Jiangnan, Zhang Lingyang was very disappointed in his heart.

According to the secret report sent by the secret agent of Jinyiwei, on the side of Huizhou Mansion in Anhui Province, the Huizhou Governor did not do anything at all when the flood broke out.

In fact, it is not inaction, at least, when the flood came, he also requisitioned people to build river embankments.

It's just that the river embankment he built and the nearby fields are all the property of the Huizhou prefect.

In Huai'an Province, Hongze Lake overflowed, and finally the flood broke the embankment and headed straight for the nearby city of Suzhou.

At the first time when he received the breach of the embankment of Hongze Lake, what the prefect of Huai'an did was not to order people to block the embankment that burst, nor to order the people to relocate, but to see that all their belongings were moved to a higher place at the first time.

As a result, it is self-evident that the people of the whole city were affected, and only the prefect was 'spared'.

The prefect of Huzhou Mansion in Zhejiang Province was even more ridiculous, as soon as the flood came, he thought of running for his life, and fled directly to a temple on the mountain outside the city, and he didn't even care about his family.

However, in the end, it was embarrassing to find that after the flood rushed to Huzhou City, it was only more than half a waist deep, and the mansion of the Huzhou prefect was not affected by the flood because of the high terrain.

Looking at the secret letters sent by the secret agents of Jinyiwei, Zhang Lingyang was relieved, but more annoyed.

What kind of officials are these?

Vegetarian meal in the cadaver position?

Dogs occupy mangers?

Fly camp dog?

Selfish? ……

Zhang Lingyang doesn't know how to describe them anymore!

Immediately, Zhang Lingyang issued an order to let Jinyiwei arrest all the 'parents' in these places of inaction and put them in prison, and confiscate all family property.

When the interrogation is over, these people will be cut with a thousand knives.

As for his family?

Females are assigned to the Faculty Division, males over the age of fifteen are assigned to the frontier, and all those under the age of fifteen are relegated to lowly status and left to fend for themselves.

Some people may say that it is not a disaster for the family.

But since their families have enjoyed the privileged life they have brought, they should also endure the same hardships at this time.

In fact, an official like this, according to the current law of the Great Zhou Dynasty, can hand over a part of the guilty money and be punished lightly.

But Zhang Lingyang didn't give them this opportunity at all.

Some people, some things, even if they are rebellions, as long as they are not the masterminds, Zhang Lingyang still gives them the opportunity to hand over the guilt silver.

Just like the last time the Jiangnan gentry rebelled, except for the mastermind who was beheaded, the rest of the people were released or given a lenient sentence after handing over the guilt silver.

Of course, the Jiangnan gentry's rebellion was widely implicated, and if it was really dealt with strictly, I was afraid that at least one-third of the positions in the DPRK and China would be vacated.

Therefore, after various trade-offs, Zhang Lingyang used the system of discussing the guilt silver to 'punish' them, so that the imperial court could get a large sum of silver. In addition, it can also reassure those officials who are born in the south of the Yangtze River or who are related to those who participated in the rebellion, so as to achieve the goal of stabilizing the situation in the world as soon as possible.

But this time, Zhang Lingyang seemed to be iron-hearted and didn't give them any chance.

There are many reasons for this.

First, it is natural that these officials are indeed innocent.

The second is that Zhang Lingyang wants to set an example for the ministers of the DPRK and China, and tell them that although there is a system of discussing guilt and silver, it is better for them to be cautious when doing things.
