In the Yisui Palace, the atmosphere gradually became a little dignified.

Shang Shu Ling Wang Anshi as the first prime minister in charge of the center, overseeing the overall situation, handling government affairs, the military newspaper of the riots in Suizhou was naturally handled by him, at this time in the face of the eyes of his colleagues, he calmly said: "Colleagues, last year Jiangnan Road flood, according to the suggestion of the governor of Zheda, the imperial court moved a total of 700,000 Jiangnan people to Fuzhou, Linzhou, Suizhou, Fengzhou four places to resettle, of which a total of 170,000 people were resettled in Suizhou, a total of seven resettlement points, the current development momentum of these resettlement points is not bad, Three of these settlements are already taking on the scale of towns. ”

"Originally, the resettlement policy given by the Metropolitan Governor was very good, and the Hedong Bank provided a large amount of funds for the resettlement of the victims, so in terms of food and clothing, it was not bad."

"However, at that time, we ignored the fact that the people were not accustomed to the water and soil, and the current resettlement people suffered from many diseases due to their dissatisfaction with the local water and soil, and the lack of Langzhong and herbal medicines, so the situation is not optimistic."

"And more importantly, the winter calendar on Jiangnan Road is not considered to be severe, but in places such as Xuzhou, it is covered with ice and snow, cold and biting, and there are many people who suffer from freezing."

"In the first month of this year, the rumor that the Liao people will invade south next year began to spread among the people of Xuzhou, the people of Jiangnan Road have never experienced the war in the border areas, and they were greatly panicked for a while, all gathered in the county government office, shouting that they want to return to Jiangnan, and the government of Xuzhou has explained many times, but it is useless, and there have even been riots in many places.

"Send troops to help? What does the assassin want to do?! As soon as he finished listening, Yang Wenguang couldn't help frowning.

Xie Junhao was in an unhappy mood recently, and snorted coldly and said: "What else can there be, chaos should be re-enacted, the best way to deal with these Diao people is naturally to kill a hundred people, as long as the army arrives, who dares to riot?" ”

Hearing Xie Junhao's words, Chen Hong frowned, knocked on the table top with his knuckles, and said in an accentuated tone: "Ladies and gentlemen, in the face of the chaos in Suizhou, I don't know what your good plan is?" Zhe Dadu Governor, you are the Dadu Governor of Zhenwu Army, in charge of the military administration of Xuzhou, first tell me your opinion. ”

Zhi Zhao bowed slightly, even in the face of the full courtiers, there was no embarrassment, and said calmly: "Officials, colleagues, the policy of resettlement in different places was proposed by Zhenwu Army, for this policy, it can be regarded as an understanding of the following, under the current situation of funds in place, there is such a chaotic situation, it is really unexpected in the next, but in general, the people who have been resettled in other places have left their hometowns to come to Xuzhou, which is to travel thousands of miles to a very strange place, and some discomfort is also common, Therefore, I believe that there is no need to be too nervous, as long as capable officials are sent to guide the jurisdiction, understand the people's affection, and then speak reasonably, I believe that this riot will also be quelled. ”

Hearing this, Xie Junhao sneered and said, "Governor Zhe, just a few words from a capable official can make the people honest?!" It's naïve to think so. ”

Zhi Zhao was not annoyed, and asked with a slight smile: "What does Xianggong Xie mean, could it be that he still uses soldiers?" ”

"Yes!" Xie Junhao nodded firmly, clasped his fists at Chen Hong, and said angrily, "Official, we should use extraordinary methods in extraordinary times, if we adopt such a conservative method, and the situation continues to expand like this, maybe before the Liao people attack, the entire Xuzhou will have collapsed without a fight." ”

Sima Guang pondered for a while, and actually opened his mouth to support Xie Junhao's proposal: "Official, the old minister seconded Xie Xianggong, it has always been at a critical juncture, only Bing Ge is the easiest way to solve the problem, this matter should be re-enacted, before the Liao State intervenes, and quell the riot with lightning speed!" ”

Cai Daogui, a servant under the door, also nodded and said: "Yes, Weichen also supports the direct use of soldiers and makes an example of a hundred!" ”

Daqi implements a system of three provinces and six ministries, and the so-called three provinces are Menxia, Zhongshu, and Shangshu.

Among them, the Zhongshu Province formulates the policy, the Menxia Province reviews the policy, and the Shangshu Province is responsible for implementing the policy.

The three high-ranking officials are also the most powerful prime ministers.

Now Cai Daogui, the servant of the door, and Sima Guang, the secretary of the Zhongshu, both support the use of soldiers, which is almost equivalent to the opinion of half of the political hall.

All of a sudden, the meaning of slaughter was seen in the 100-million-year-old hall, as long as Chen Hong nodded, the army drove directly to Suizhou, and then there would be countless heads on the ground.

Hubu Shangshu Fubi couldn't bear it, and said: "Officials, colleagues, is there no other good way except for Bingge?" In this way, there are so many dead, how can you bear it! ”

Xie Junhao said coldly: "Fu Shangshu, if it weren't for the crisis situation, the prime minister would not want to take such an extreme method, but according to the current intelligence, the Liao people will probably invade Xuzhou in March and April, and if the chaos of the resettled people has not subsided, wouldn't the entire northern Xinjiang become a pot of porridge, and it will also give the Liao people an opportunity, so it is necessary to suppress the riot with thunder." ”

At the end of these words, Fu Bi shook his head with emotion, although he did not want the court to take such a tough move, but he could not refute Xie Junhao.

Indeed, compared with the stability of the entire northern Xinjiang, the lives of dozens or hundreds of people resettled in other places are indeed less important.

At this point, the expression on Chen Hong's face also became a little heavy.

He was silent for a while, and there was a feeling of extreme difficulty in making a decision in his heart, and under hesitation, he could only ask the person he trusted the most in this life: "An Shi Xianggong, I don't know what you mean?" ”

Wang Anshi was silent for a while, but smiled faintly: "Official, the old minister thinks that at this time, he might as well ask the envisioner of the resettlement strategy, maybe he can have a better suggestion." ”

"The original visionary?"

The ministers were slightly stunned, and their eyes fell on Zhe Zhao's body.

Zhi Zhao was stunned for a moment, and quickly explained with a smile: "Ministers don't need to look at me, in fact, the strategy of resettlement was thought of by my husband Cui Wenqing. ”

The ministers were relieved, and then looked at Cui Wenqing, who had been silent, and wanted to hear what kind of clever advice this figure who had recently become famous in Luoyang City.

Chen Hong chuckled and said, "Cui Aiqing, tell me your opinion." ”

Cui Wenqing bowed slightly, thought a little about sorting out his thoughts, and then said: "Official, the reason why the imperial court implemented the policy of resettlement in other places, I think the main reason is because it can't bear the displacement of the victims on Jiangnan Road, so they are resettled in northern Xinjiang to leave a way for them to survive, right?" ”

Chen Hong was obviously a little unaccustomed to Cui Wenqing's way of discussing with rhetorical questions, so he nodded yes.
