In the Wenhua Palace, the discussion continued, and the new auxiliary minister Min Hongxue thought for a long time, and finally bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is better to allocate silver taels, and then buy grain from the land of Bashu to solve the plight of the people in Qin, this is one of them!"

Hu Guang nodded when he heard this, on the edge of Shaanxi, in terms of wealth and stock, it is estimated that Sichuan has the most. Although it has experienced the Tusi turmoil, it has been calmed down.

Nowadays, Sichuan's stock is more than that of Gansu, and Shanxi will not have much grain in stock because of the smuggling of grain by Jin merchants to Jianlu, and the seized grain will also be used for disaster relief in Gyeonggi. As for the land of Henan, the drought is beginning to appear, and it is still necessary to use it for oneself, otherwise the Central Plains will be chaotic due to lack of food, and the impact will be much more serious than that of Shaanxi.

He thought in his heart, and listened to what he meant, so he hurriedly asked, "Min Qing is here!"

"Second, the minister thought that it was inappropriate to return to his place of origin. If the local government has the power to appease the victims, the victims will not become thieves, so it is better to gather to fight the disaster, build roads and bridges, and build water conservancy!"

After Min Hongxue finished speaking, Wen Tiren immediately nodded and followed: "This is a great good, and the minister seconded it!"

He knew this fellow's ability very well, and after thinking about it a little, he agreed with it without hesitation.

Hu Guang also nodded again and again, if he gave money and food and repatriated to his hometown according to what Yang He said, he would save trouble, but how good could the effect be? Can all the money and food given to the victims be given to the victims? Will the victims survive until the next food harvest? If one thing is not done, it is easy for the repatriated victims to become thieves again, as was the case in the original history.

It is worthy of being a local official, and the policies played are all effective, and there is no generalization. This made Hu Guang very satisfied, and Hu Guang was ready to turn back on Wen Tiren's performance two days ago, saying that Hanlin Zhong would select local officials with experience in governance. Otherwise, most of those Hanlin are from a school background and have no local experience, so it is easy to become a soldier on paper.

He thought so, and was about to open his mouth to play, when suddenly there was an urgent report from the governor of Sichuan, Hu Guang's heart sank when he heard it, and there must be nothing good if he didn't need to look at it.

Sure enough, Hu Guang couldn't help but smile bitterly after reading it, this thief is God, he just wants to increase the difficulty of Zhongxing Daming!

He asked the chamberlain to pass it on to his subordinates, and recalled the contents of the emergency report in his mind.

"On the fourth day of December in the second year of Chongzhen, the Chengdu earthquake, roared like thunder, shook twelve times in a row, the house shook, the rooster barked, the river rose red, the landslide fell down, and several soldiers of the Suchenglou battalion were crushed. Songpanwei shook twelve times, and the sound was like thunder. On the same day, Xiaohe Camp was shook, a landslide collapsed, and the city collapsed 120 zhang, crushing several soldiers and civilians. On the same day, Chongqing Prefecture, Bishan, Guang'an Prefecture, Cangxi, Jingxian, Weiyuan and other cities were all ......"

Earthquakes, in fact, are not uncommon for Sichuan, and even in later generations, they are often heard. But this time the earthquake is a bit big, and it is estimated that the city walls have collapsed so much, there should be a look of six or seven magnitudes!

As for the number of people in the report, there were few people in ancient times, and it was difficult for the local government to count the number of people buried, and they would habitually report to the less, so they would only say vague words such as "counting people" and "counting names".

When the courtiers at the bottom saw that it was almost over, Hu Guang said with a stern face: "Bashu has just experienced a military disaster, and now it is the earth dragon roaring, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have surplus food." ”

For this situation, all the ministers were speechless. There is no choice but to pick up some grain from all over the place. At this time, Hu Guang deeply felt the shortage of food, so he asked Shoufu: "Is there any news from the Nanyang vassal country?" ”

"Your Majesty, the distance to Nanyang is far away, and there is no news for a while." Wen Tiren listened to it and said, "And it is still necessary to discuss the amount of grain to be paid with the vassal states, and it will take time to satisfy both countries!"

That's right, I'm still in a hurry! Hu Guang listened and nodded. However, Min Hongxue was surprised, and hurriedly asked about the situation, and Wen Tiren told him about taking grain from Nanyang.

After hearing this, Min Hongxue's face was grim, and he immediately bowed down and played to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the minister was the governor of the southwest before, and the other Nanyang countries are unknown, but they know something about Dongwu. The minister thinks that the matter of paying tribute to grain is afraid that it will be difficult to do!"

Dongwu is the Burma of later generations, and Hu Guang already knew this when he discussed the Nanyang tribute grain before. At this time, when he heard Min Hongxue's words, he couldn't help frowning.

Daming must be short of food for more than ten years after that, and it is best to be able to import food from outside, so he immediately asked Min Hongxue what was going on?

"Your Majesty, the lord of the Dongwu country is unruly, he has been fighting for many years, attacking everywhere, and even the Tusi Mubang to which my Ming belongs has been annexed by it......"

When Hu Guang heard this, he felt that Mu Bang was very familiar with it once, and then suddenly remembered that it seemed that the Ba Dengding in the primary group in the chat group was a self-proclaimed Mu Bang relic.

“…… From this point of view, it is extremely difficult to get Dongwu to pay tribute to grain!" After Min Hongxue finished speaking, his face suddenly hesitated, as if he wanted to speak again, but in the end he still didn't say it.

Hu Guang heard this, and couldn't help but say: "It seems that the countries of Nanyang, who don't know that my Ming Dynasty has been majestic for a long time, dare to annex my Ming Dynasty, it's really bold......"

Hearing him say this, Wen Tiren's face changed, shouldn't the emperor want to use troops against Dongwu? In the current situation, how can there be another war?

Thinking so, he was about to open his mouth to admonish, but when he heard the emperor's words, he changed his words and said, "...... When I have the strength to do so, I will make them pay!"

Wen Tiren heard this, fortunately, although the emperor was young, he was not impulsive, so he didn't have to bother with his own words.

Min Hongxue was different from him, his eyes were wide open when he heard it, and his eyes were blazing, as if he wanted to see the emperor's inner thoughts again.

But Hu Guang did not mention the matter of Dongwu again, and instead discussed Yang He's recital, for Yang He's protection of Hong Chengchou, he also heard about it in later generations, at this time, he did not want to get the unanimous approval of the courtiers, he agreed to Hong Chengchou to take over the post of governor of Yansui.

The meeting lasted for almost half a day, and Hu Guang was just about to rest after the meeting, but he heard the inner attendant tell him that Sun Chengzong, the young master and the prince and the prince of the military department, the intermediate palace scholar of the Intermediate Palace, and the Jiliao Governor, had entered Beijing to meet him.

Originally, Sun Chengzong should have brought Qin Wangjun to Beijing at the end of last year, but because of Yongping's comfort, he had to delay until now.

Sun Chengzong can be described as a hard work for the Ming Dynasty, so he hurriedly issued an order to meet him after hearing the news. Even Hu Guang walked to the door of the Wenhua Hall and personally went to greet Sun Chengzong.

This kind of treatment is the first person in the Chongzhen Dynasty, which makes Sun Chengzong grateful, and he can't help but feel a little ashamed of his original intention of coming in a hurry this time.

However, he remembered that the state affairs were like this, and it was also a helpless move, so he held back what he thought in his heart, and after greeting him, he explained the main intention of coming to Beijing to face the saint this time.
