The fleet returned smoothly with a full load, and under Lin Sen's nervous vigilance, the respective goods were delivered, and the caravan was of course on standby here for a long time, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Until the caravan was ready to leave, Feng Ang didn't make any other moves, and it seemed that they had reached a tacit understanding with each other.

The profits of the spice trade were enough for him to be satisfied, and he would not overly oppress the veterans.

In this way, the situation in the entire Lingnan can be regarded as truly improving, and Lin Sen can rest assured for the time being.

At this time, Li Shimin's holy decree unexpectedly arrived.

Along with the Divine Decree came a famous fellow, who would become Lin Sen's successor.

This is the second year in a row that a large area of flooding occurred between the Huai River and the Haihe River during the summer, and most of these more than 40 prefectures are in Shandong and Henan in later generations, including Yizhou, where Lin Sen's hometown is located in his previous life.

Last year, there was just a flood here, and Chang'an City sent Wei Zheng to appease him.

It is not only necessary to coordinate with local officials to do a good job in the resettlement and rescue of the victims, but also to appease the many families and powerful forces here. For example, Cheng Biting Jin, their hometown has been affected.

All the methods of opening warehouses and releasing grain and cash-for-work have been used, and they have almost emptied the standing liquidation reserves here, so that the damage can be minimized as much as possible, at least there are not many people who starve to death.

However, this year it was hit by another disaster, which made people particularly troubled, and the local reserves were obviously unable to support such continuous consumption.

But the place that was affected by the disaster is definitely a densely populated area in Datang.

In order to satisfy the appetite of so many people, there will be no large-scale attrition, and the demand for this material is extraordinarily huge.

Moreover, this is a place that has been accumulated through so many years of history and culture, and it also involves so many families and nobles, so we must spare no effort to do a good job in disaster relief.

It takes a long time to mobilize food from other places to reach the disaster area, and the area affected by the disaster is so large that it is still one of the main grain producing areas, and it is really difficult to mobilize enough supplies.

In particular, places such as the mouth of the Huai River have always been the hardest hit areas, but after the disaster, it has become extremely difficult for outsiders to enter these places, either the water is too big, or all the roads have completely turned into muddy ponds, and the grain trucks can be said to be difficult to move an inch.

When they trek through mountains and rivers to these hard-hit areas, not to mention whether the food can still be eaten, anyway, the victims in the disaster areas are afraid that they are already hungry enough, and some unbearable things may even happen.

No one wants the original hometown of Confucius and Mencius to become a purgatory on earth, and stage some ugly pictures of human nature.

At this time, Li Shimin remembered some ideas that Lin Sen had talked about when he discussed with him before he set off, such as "the transfer of grain from the south to the north".

In later generations, there was a saying that "the lake is wide and ripe, and the world is full", which is closely related to the transportation of grain from the south to the north, and also with the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.

However, Lin Sen's original idea of transferring grain from the south to the north is still different, and historically, it should give full play to the role of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, achieve the purpose of transporting the north and the south, and strengthening economic, military, and other ties and exchanges between the north and the south.

Of course, Lin Sen also has this purpose, but the route is not the same, and what he hopes is to give full play to the advantages of shipping.

The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is already busy enough, and the entanglement of forces in it is too complicated, and it is not at all that Lin Sen can or wants to get involved.

But if you go by sea, the speed is actually quite guaranteed, and it is not too convenient to go all the way north along the coast with the help of warm currents.

In particular, in this disaster relief, precious food can be sent to the hardest-hit areas where it is most needed.

In addition, shipping requires much less manpower, the time is still short, and the food consumed on the road will be much less, and the efficiency of transportation is also greatly improved.

As for the source of food, it is easier to deal with, why did Lin Sen come to Lingnan and secretly pry Feng Ang openly and secretly and start planting those super rice? In fact, I am also preparing for this time.

Yazhou can easily achieve three crops a year, and it is definitely not difficult to grow two crops a year in Guangfu, and it is promoted by Feng An, a real and unknown "Lingnan King", this strength is simply not too big.

While Lin Sen made a fortune from it, it also made Feng Ang more concerned about this rice, and now he has successfully completed the large-scale coverage of these super rice.

The output of these rice alone should be a very terrifying number, and it should be more than enough to complete this disaster relief, at least in those hard-hit areas.

After all, the various grains and fruits produced by Lingnan are also very rich, and these grains should be consumed very little.

In addition, the various materials mobilized from the surrounding areas are enough to stabilize the situation in the disaster area.

And the order given by the holy decree is also very clear, let Lin Sen mobilize as much food as possible and deliver it to the hard-hit area as soon as possible.

Lin Sen conveyed the meaning of this holy decree to all the leading figures in Lingnan, and asked everyone to mobilize quickly.

It is only right that those who have grain will be sent out of the grain, and those who have ships will be sent out of the boats, and it is only right that they will start when they are full, and the grain will be sent to the hard-hit areas as soon as possible.

Lin Sen's Ping'an, and the three ships of Jixiang Ruyi, of course, were also among the requisition, and they had the strongest capacity, so they simply pulled up the many rice piled up in the barracks like a mountain, and went to the direction of Dengzhou.

The other nobles also put aside the matter of transporting spices for the time being, and used all the ships under their command to transport supplies.

For example, Cheng Yanjin's hometown of Jeju is also a hard-hit area, and the other nobles have no intention of standing idly by.

Feng Ang was even more atmospheric, not only the sons who participated in the transportation of spices went north with boats full of grain, but the sea ships that could be mobilized under his hands to sail were all loaded with rice and kept up.

The three new flagships, led by the Ping'an, were the most installed, but they were the fastest, so it was not surprising that they went to the front.

Lin Sen also packed his things this time and followed the Ping An to the north.

It was a bit unexpected for him to take over the task of mobilizing and transporting disaster relief materials, and he didn't even need to continue to stay up in Panyu.

He also thought that he would have to work there for one or two terms before he could hope to be transferred, and he was ready to fight for a long time.

Unexpectedly, the spice fleet here had just completed a collective action, and his mission was over.

Maybe Li Shimin thinks that if he can have the current situation, he can be regarded as completing the plan he gave to Lin Sen, or he thinks that with Lin Sen's ability, it is already the limit to build such a relatively stable structure as he is now.

And with Feng An's cooperation, there is no need for Lin Sen, a super macho man, to continue to stay here to maintain military deterrence, and replace it with a guy who is Yunwen Yunwu, which is more suitable for Guangfu, where the general direction has been set.

Therefore, Lin Sen's successor chose a famous general who is not famous at present, but can also be said to be a famous general, and also a friend of Lin Sen.

Of course, it is not Su Dingfang, who is still immersed in studying Li Jing's art of war, but the later famous anti-Japanese general - Liu Renliang!
