"Your Majesty, Wechen doesn't agree with Lord Li's suggestion, Wechen feels that the resettlement of the displaced people is the most important thing."

The ministers in the court have been arguing for three days, and the drought in Jiang, Huai, Shaanxi, and Sichuan has caused countless ministers to quarrel incessantly over the past three days.

In the third year of Chunhua, the Great Song Dynasty is just like Murphy's law describes, if there is a possibility that things will go bad, no matter how small the probability is, it will always happen. This year, the Great Song Dynasty has lost important people one after another, and Zhao Pu, who was retired in July, died suddenly.

Although Zhao Pu has already become a minister, his death still casts a layer of tragedy on the court of the Great Song Dynasty. In the following November, the former Kaifeng Mansion Yin, Luoyang King Zhao Yuanxi also suddenly "died" to death. The Great Song Dynasty lost two important figures one after another, which made the entire court fall into a kind of depression.

But things are not so simple and over, this year from August, Jiang, Huai, Shaanxi, Sichuan and other provinces have begun to have a large area of drought. So far in December, there has been little rain in these places.

The Jiang, Huai and Sichuan rivers are at least able to temporarily alleviate the drought, but the Shaanxi road is troublesome, and it is a place where water is scarce, so the drought has caused a grain harvest failure. A large number of residents were turned into displaced people and began to move around.

Because Zhao Yuanxi's previous affairs involved too much Zhao Guangyi's energy, by the time he completely freed his hands, a large number of displaced people had already been generated, and they began to spread to the surrounding Lu Fu.

However, Zhao Guangyi, who hurriedly began to deal with this matter, encountered a quarrel between the ministers of the DPRK and China around this matter, and now the ministers of the DPRK and China are basically two factions, one faction is headed by Prime Minister Li Fang, hoping to go directly to Shaanxi to carry out disaster relief and prevent the emergence of new displaced people. The other faction is led by Kou Zhun, hoping to resettle the displaced people who have already been generated, and does not want the team of displaced people to enter more other road houses and bring too heavy a burden to these road houses.

Both factions of thought have a reasonable view, one group wants to solve the impact of the disaster in one fell swoop, and the other group wants to be down-to-earth and prevent the expansion of the displaced population from turning into a popular uprising.

As for why no minister proposed to carry out the two strategies at the same time, because at this time, the Great Song Dynasty did not have the spare strength to carry out the two methods at the same time. The reason is that the granary of the Great Song Dynasty, Jianghuai, is also a disaster-stricken area, and due to the disaster of Jianghuai, the Great Song Dynasty does not have too much surplus grain this year to solve the two problems at the same time.

In this way, the ministers quarreled in the court for three days, and the noisy Zhao Guangyi's brain was about to explode.

"Kaifeng Mansion Yin, what do you think about this?" In the end, Zhao Guangyi, who was really annoyed and couldn't stand it, could only ask his son for help from the new Kaifeng Mansion Yin, hoping that his son could give a solution.

Although Zhao Heng has not said a word in the court for the past three days, it does not mean that he has not thought of anything. In Zhao Heng's heart, he still agrees with Li Fang's idea, that is, to draw wages from the bottom of the kettle and solve the root cause of the homeless.

After hearing Zhao Guangyi's inquiry, Zhao Heng stepped forward and said his thoughts: "Erchen thinks that it is better to follow Li Xiang's idea and send grain to Shaanxi Road for disaster relief first. After all, it is necessary to treat the symptoms and the root cause, and only by solving the source of the displaced people can we help solve the whole thing. ”

As soon as Li Fang and his faction heard that they had the support of the "prince", they suddenly felt that their waists were much stiffer, and their momentum immediately became stronger. And the one who supported Kou Zhun and his faction heard the opposition of the "prince", and they also knew that there was no need for this debate to continue.

Due to the intervention of the "prince" to break the balance above the court, Zhao Guangyi finally adopted the opinion of Li Fang's faction and went to Shaanxi for disaster relief.

……

At the same time, Zhao Weiji, who is in the North American continent, is now mixing smoothly.

I have to say that there is really a group of people in the world who are quite talented in language learning, and Snow is this kind of person. Not only did he learn the world's most difficult foreign language to learn: Chinese in just over half a year. It also relies on the similarity between the original language of the Inuit and the original language of the Indians. In just over a month, I learned the Indian language.

At this time, he was already relatively comfortable switching between the three languages, and with his translation, Zhao Weiji also won the friendship of the Indian tribes in this place.

Zhao Weiji used glass products to not only exchange different varieties of corn for different varieties of corn in this Indian tribe, but also luckily got tomatoes.

It turns out that this Indian tribe here migrated from the place where Mexico was later, and the origin of the tomato was Peru and Mexico, so they also brought the tomato to the place where they live now.

And through communication, Zhao Weiji also learned that the place where they landed was Los Angeles, the city of angels, which later became famous.

Zhao Weiji was excited to think that San Francisco, San Francisco, was not too far away, because it was the epicenter of the American gold rush in the 19th century, and countless gold mines were still lying quietly underground and unexplored.

It's just that this time Zhao Weiji can't mine there, and he has been staying on the North American continent for more than a month, so it's time to return to the Central Plains.

So Zhao Weiji and Wang Dayuan took the many "treasures" they found on the North American continent to bid farewell to the people of this Indian tribe and embarked on a journey back.

On this return voyage, Zhao Weiji did not choose to return by the same route, but took the help of the two ocean currents of the California cold current and the warm current of the north equator to turn back to the Central Plains. Although the distance is a little farther, the speed is much faster.

At the same time that Zhao Weiji turned back to the Central Plains at full speed, the disaster relief of the Great Song Dynasty was not as easy as imagined, and at this time, the disadvantages of a single solution began to be exposed.

……

Since the Great Song Dynasty only provided disaster relief to Shaanxi Province, and those who had already fled did not receive assistance, many of the displaced people had no choice but to start looting in the state capital they entered.

As a result, natural disasters began to gradually turn into man-made disasters.

Moreover, because a large number of displaced people were transferred to Sichuan, and Sichuan itself was also a disaster-stricken area, the law and order in Sichuan gradually began to collapse, and a force of popular revolt began to slowly form.

And it is good to die, at this time Sichuan was controlled by a group of corrupt officials, the most representative of which was Qi Yuanzhen, the commander of Pengshan County.

After Taizong pacified Shudi, he sent his secretary Zhang Shu to envoy to Shudi, and after Zhang Shu conducted an investigation in Shudi, he impeached more than 100 unjudicial officials, and most of them were deposed by Taizong. However, in Zhang Shu's recital, Qi Yuanzhen was mentioned as a representative of the Qing officials. Zhao Guangyi also commended Qi Yuanzhen accordingly and issued an edict of commendation for him.

But in fact, Qi Yuanzhen is greedy and brutal, which basically integrates the evil of corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Collecting taxes under false pretenses, forcibly extorting bribes, and oppressing the people can be said to be all kinds of evil. In addition, after receiving Zhao Guangyi's commendation, he felt that he had a talisman, and his evil behavior became even worse, making the local people miserable.

In this way, Sichuan finally broke out in rebellion under the oppression of natural disasters and double man-made disasters, and in February of the fourth year of Chunhua, a man named Wang Xiaobo led more than 100 people to launch an uprising in Qingcheng.

Wang Xiaobo, a native of Qingcheng, Sichuan, was originally a tea seller. Due to the drought, he has no tea to sell in recent times, coupled with the government's expropriation and expropriation, which makes his life not easy.

So he entangled more than 100 people in the local area, and carried out an uprising under the slogan of "I am sick and rich and poor, and now you are equal".

Because there were too many people in the local area who couldn't get by, coupled with the influx of many displaced people from Shaanxi, Wang Xiaobo's uprising quickly got a great response, and in only ten days, more than 10,000 people joined the uprising.

In this way, Wang Xiaobo's strength increased greatly, and he led the team to capture Qingcheng very easily, and then his next target was Pengshan.

Because Wang Xiaobo clearly knew that as long as he killed Qi Yuanzhen, the biggest corrupt official in Shu, his reputation would be greatly enhanced, and more people would join the uprising.

So Wang Xiaobo led the ranks of the rebel army to kill Pengshan.

After Qi Yuanzhen, the commander of Pengshan County, learned that Wang Xiaobo's team was attacking him, he immediately sent an army to resist, but what Qi Yuanzhen didn't expect was that the resisting army actually defected.

It turned out that it was because of Qi Yuanzhen's atrocities that even the local garrison couldn't stand it, so as soon as the army was dispatched, people contacted Wang Xiaobo to surrender.

Therefore, Wang Xiaobo's rebel army took Pengshan without blood.

After taking Pengshan, Wang Xiaobo killed Qi Yuanzhen as soon as possible, and gave all the property he had looted over the years to the local civilians.

And after Qi Yuanzhen was killed, Wang Xiaobo also cut open his stomach and stuffed his stomach with knife money. Wang Xiaobo's move was to announce to the people that he hated Qi Yuanzhen's insatiable greed.

Since then, Wang Xiaobo's reputation has spread throughout Shu, and more and more people have joined his rebel army.

Finally, the imperial court was alarmed.

At this time, the imperial court became the stage for the faction that proposed to settle the displaced people first, because a large part of the rebel army in this uprising were displaced people who had escaped from Shaanxi.

Li Fang and his faction never dreamed that although the plan they proposed to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle cut off the generation of new displaced people, it turned the original displaced people into members of the peasant army.

Although Kou Zhun and his faction occupied the main stage in the court at this time, they did not have the extra mood to attack the other faction again, because at this time the counterinsurgency was the top priority, but the counterinsurgency needed someone to lead the troops, who to send at this time?
