The four of Fu Ning'an came to meet today, not only to hear the truth, but also to inquire about the truth, the imperial court disaster relief has always been a matter of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, and it also has its own set of quite perfect procedures, but this disaster relief Zhenwu has pulled the two chief officials of the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate in, and they are ingenious and send a large number of Guozi prison students to various prefectures and counties to supervise.

The four of them all know that Zhenwu's accession to the throne coincided with a catastrophe, and it is reasonable to attach great importance to it, in addition, with such fanfare, there is no intention of taking the opportunity to establish authority, and even taking the opportunity to replace the idea of the officials in the northern provinces, this disaster relief is not a question of greed or not, but how to improve efficiency, and the mediocre performance is afraid that it will not escape the scene of the resignation.

Kangxi has always attached great importance to Jiangnan, and the officials sent to Liangjiang, Huguang, Fujian and Zhejiang are all well-behaved and honest officials, and the officials of the northern provinces, especially the officials of the prefecture and the province, are mostly banner people, including many royal family relatives, princes and nobles, and they are not sure how many people to offend after an errand.

Seeing that Zhenwu no longer asked, Fu Ningan bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, disaster relief, disaster relief, millet relief, pension, and security must all go hand in hand. The slaves were presumptuous, not knowing when the money and grain for disaster relief would arrive, so the minions went down to open a warehouse to release grain and give porridge to make a good plan. ”

Zhenwu sighed slightly, and said: "The early stage is naturally based on relief grain, the first batch of relief grain in Nanyang and Shanghai can reach Tianjin at the end of the month, and the grain from Liangjiang and Huguang Cao can enter Henan and Shandong in April. In addition, the immigrants are prone to chaos, and besides, it is only a spring drought, so they do their best to move the millet to the people. Where transportation is inconvenient, garrison horses are requisitioned. As for the money, all prefectures and counties have 'four constant' semicolons, which are borrowed on the spot. All use silver tickets, and those who hoard are strange will be killed to make an example. ”

At the end of the month, there will be relief food, and you can borrow silver tickets at the 'Four Heng', and the four of Fu Ning'an are relieved when they board, there is money and food, this errand is easy to do. The four of them hurriedly bowed down to receive the order.

Zhenwu sighed slightly, and said: "It has always been a disaster, the capital is a place where displaced people gather, Tianjin has a work-for-work relief project for the diversion of the Haihe River, and the capital is naturally not less. ”

Cash-for-work relief is a necessary means of disaster relief and famine relief, and many ministers have already considered it. Listening to Zhenwu's question, Zhang Pengxi bowed down and said: "The Tonghui River is the main water passage from Tongzhou to the capital, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to dredge it every year. If there is little drought and water today, please thoroughly dredge the Tonghui River. ”

≡ Zhu bowed down and said, "Slaves, please add Jingshi or Tongzhou Cangshu." ”

Yin Yu said tightly: "The minister seconded the proposal, in the future, Nanyang and Australia will open up, and there will inevitably be more grain transported north, and it is indeed necessary to expand the number of warehouses in Beijing and Tongzhou, and it is also necessary to see large warehouses." ”

Yinxiang also bowed down and said: "It is inconvenient for the internal and external firearms battalions of the Beijing Division to train on weekdays, so please build a new firearms battalion outside the city and relocate the internal and external firearms battalions to one place so as to facilitate centralized training." ”

Zhenwu was originally quite a headache for cash-for-work, but he didn't expect everyone to have a plan. It seems that brainstorming to help things is not bad at all, and after groaning slightly, he nodded and said, "These proposals are good." As soon as possible, they should submit a piece of Chen to the study, discuss with the Ministry of Industry, and settle it within three days. ”

Expansion of Rehe Palace and Changchun Garden? This year, Kangxi lives in Changchun Garden, and all the ministers are human spirits, how dare they think deeply, and they are busy bowing down and saying: "The ministers are respectful." After waiting for a while, seeing that several ministers in the study did not propose the donation system, Zhenwu knew that they had not yet discussed the result, and he was not in a hurry about this matter, and there was an opportunity in the future, and after waiting for a while, he glanced at the ministers and said, "Kneel down." ”

When all the ministers retreated, and there were only three people left in the hall, Yinxi, Yinxiang, and Yinxi, Zhenwu said with a smile: "Don't stand by the rules, give a seat." ”

Listening to this order, the three of them couldn't help but relax slightly, and after thanking him, they sat down one after another, and after sitting down, Yinxi said with a smile: "The emperor went out of Beijing for the first time, and when he returned to Beijing, he should be greeted by hundreds of officials, and the ministers and officials of the Ministry of Rites prepared for a few days, and they didn't want the emperor to go to Tongzhou without stopping, and returned to Beijing quickly." ”

The eighth child was complaining that he didn't respect etiquette, Zhenwu couldn't help but smile slightly, and said: "Brother Lao is bothered, the spring drought is serious, and I can return to Beijing one day earlier, so I can buy one more day for the victims." As he spoke, he said to Yinyu: "Fifteenth brother, during the spring drought, some things must be passed on urgently, and the Beijing Daily must be prepared to be published at any time." ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "The province that spared the disaster in the north is giving a year, severely punishing the officials who embezzle the money and grain for disaster relief, the Tianjin Haihe cash-for-work project, the preparation of the work-for-relief project in Beijing, and the donation of the 'Four Great Heng' and other firms, can it be published and distributed tomorrow?" ”

Yin Yu bowed and said: "Back to the emperor, tomorrow Japan is the publication time of the Beijing Daily, and it has been prepared." ”

Zhenwu nodded and said, "After this stubble, I will reward the brothers for their meritorious deeds, and there will be no mistakes during this time." ”

Although Yinyu vaguely guessed that Zhenwu would be rewarded soon, he couldn't help but be a little excited when he heard Zhenwu say it clearly, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "The younger brother must do his best and dare not live up to the emperor's expectations." ”

"Yes." Zhenwu nodded slightly: "Tomorrow's publication, you are busy with affairs, kneel down first." ”

"Brother quit." Yin Yu hurriedly got up and saluted, bowed and retreated.

Zhenwu took a sip of tea, then looked at Zhenwu and took a sip of tea, then looked at Yinxi and Yinxiang, and said, "During this time, what is the situation in Jingshi?" ”

Yinxiang glanced at Lao Ba, and saw that he didn't mean to speak, so he bowed and said: "Back to the emperor, the younger brother was ordered to clean up the eight banners stationed in Beijing, during this time the twenty-four banners stationed in Beijing were uniformly assessed, and the commanders and leaders of the banners were actively cooperating, and a total of more than 32,000 unqualified soldiers were dismissed, and more than 20,000 and more than 600 qualified soldiers were replenished by each banner, and now there are still more than 11,800 soldiers. ”

Thirty-two thousand? Zhenwu also secretly exclaimed, there are only more than 120,000 people in the 24 banners stationed in Beijing, and nearly 30% of those who are unqualified are unqualified. A little groaning. Only then did he ask, "Are the newly recruited soldiers scattered in the various banners for training?" ”

Yinxiang paused slightly, and then replied: "Back to the emperor, it is the flags that train themselves." ”

Zhenwu raised his face and muttered for a long time before he said: "Set up a new military camp in Xishan." In the future, all the additional soldiers will be concentrated in Xishan training, the training period is one year, only after passing the assessment is allowed to make up for the flags, the annual examination, the fixed brush of 12,000 soldiers into the new barracks training, unqualified will be dismissed, the new barracks will not be paid. If there are 1,000 men of each banner soldier who enter the new barracks, the commander shall be replaced. ”

Yinxiang couldn't help but secretly praise, this method is good, in this way, the soldiers of each flag have to train hard, the soldiers are naturally unwilling to be paid, and the flags will compete desperately, with five thousand people in one flag. Brush a thousand to remove the commander, the commander is not a training soldier who is not playing with his life, he hurriedly bowed and said: "Weichen respects the order." "After getting up. He said cautiously: "Is the training of recruits mainly based on mounted archery or firearms?" ”

Zhenwu said simply, "Refer to the training method of the Praetorian Guard. "...," Wechen honored. Yinxiang hurriedly bowed and said.

Yin Xi sighed secretly in his heart, although Zhenwu's move was high-sounding, but in this way, he took away 12,000 people from each banner, and after a few years of rotation training, this Eight Banners stationed in Beijing can become a new army of the Praetorian Guard, this means is really speechless, seeing that the old thirteen has finished speaking, he continued: "The thirteenth brother has cleaned up the Eight Banners in Beijing." Although more than 20,000 people have been replenished by each banner, on the surface 12,000 people have lost their livelihoods, but in fact the total number should be around 15,000.

In this regard, the princes of the banners were quite complaining, but they only dared to complain in private, after all, the purging of the Eight Banners was a move for the benefit of the country and the people. It's just that how to settle these 15,000 banner people who have lost their livelihood, counting the families of these soldiers, there are enough 100,000 banner people, and the stakes are very high. ”

100,000 banner people, this is not a small number, Zhenwu pondered slightly for a moment before asking: "Starling brother thinks how to settle these banner people?" ”

Hearing this, Yinxi couldn't help but be slightly stunned, how could the old fourteen ask him about this? How Zhenwu will settle these banner people, he had guessed before, and after a moment of silence, he said: "The ministers think that it is nothing more than three ways, first, follow the example of Huang Ama and reclaim along the border. The second is to send it back to the customs, and the third is to divert a workshop to join the army in Tianjin. ”

Zhenwu nodded slightly, looked at Yinxiang again, and said, "What does Brother Thirteen think?" ”

On this issue, Yinxiang also thought about it again and again, and immediately said in a deep voice: "In addition to what the starling said, Weichen secretly thinks that there are two more feasible points, one is to migrate to Australia and Nanyang, Australia has a vast territory, and it is only to migrate the people in the past, which is not conducive to consolidation.

If the voyage goes well, the Beiyang Fleet led by Yande will be able to return to Tianjin at the end of March, and the development of the American feudal kingdom must have a large population, and the princes of the banners should be happy to transport these dismissed soldiers and their families to the feudal kingdoms in the Americas. ”

Hearing this, Zhenwu couldn't help but smile slightly, the old thirteen has been in the navy for more than a year, this vision is indeed a lot broader, a little muttering, he said: "Brother Starling, Brother Thirteen's proposal is good, these fifteen thousand dismissed soldiers, just give them five roads, Shengjing, Tianjin, Manchuria, Australia, and the port of Acapulco, all of which are allowed to bring their families, and the imperial court will send the entanglement and resettlement fees." ”

Yinxi was quite worried and said: "Beijing is prosperous, these banner people are used to enjoying themselves, if they don't want to leave Beijing, how should they be settled?" ”

"Those who do not want to leave Beijing will be removed from the flag." Zhenwu said without hesitation: "You can't get used to them anymore, since ancient times, loving mothers have many defeated children, and the imperial court can no longer tolerate them, even if they are migrated to Nanyang and Australia, the banner people must also be trained strictly, Australia is responsible for sending troops to the South American feudal countries, and the Manchurian ones must cooperate with the actions of the Nanyang and the Mughal Empire, and they must not slack off." ”

"Honorable Ministers." Yinxiang raised his body and asked again: "Your Majesty, do you need to make up for the shortage of more than 10,000 soldiers?" ”

"It's better to have less than to have more." Zhenwu said in a deep voice: "The number of soldiers is empty, you can encourage the Jingshi bannermen to strengthen training." ”

Yinxu and Yinxiang came out of the palace, and when they arrived at Jingyunmen, they saw that the lords and princes of each banner were waiting here for Zhenwu to summon them, and the two couldn't help but stop, Zhenwu would definitely not summon them at this time.

A group of banner lords and princes were tossed during this time, and a large number of banner people gathered at the door of the mansion every day, if it were not for the guarantee of an extra season of Lu rice when the retreat, I was afraid that it would have been a troublesome time ago, but even so, the flag people who came to the door every day to inquire about the way out were still endless, and they were very annoyed, and they heard that Zhenwu had returned to Beijing, so they naturally hurried to complain. ..., as soon as I saw Yinxu and Yinxiang coming out in a row, a group of banner lords and princes naturally surrounded them, and there was no noise in the palace, everyone was soft-spoken greetings, a mess, Yinxiang smiled and greeted everyone, but Yinxiang frowned slightly, you don't want to elaborate here, when he was hesitating, Bao Fuquan hurriedly walked out, glanced at everyone, and he raised his voice: "The emperor has a decree to solve the problem of the livelihood of the soldiers of the Eight Banners, and the two of them explained in detail the king of Lianjun Yinxu and Yibeile Yinxiang." ”

"Honorable Ministers." Yinxi and Yinxiang hurriedly knelt down to receive the order.

When Bao Fuquan turned around, all the banner lords and princes couldn't help but look at the two of them, Yinxi glanced at everyone, and said with a smile: "This place is not the place to speak, this king simply said that there are five ways out of the Eight Banners who were dismissed." ”

When they heard that the dismissed soldiers were allowed to go to Australia and the port of Acapulco with their families, the eyes of the princes of the banner lords immediately lit up, going to Shengjing, Tianjin, and Manjinga were tantamount to depriving them of this part of the population, but going to Australia and the port of Acapulco could still control these banner people, especially to the port of Acapulco, which was a good opportunity to expand the feudal kingdom of the Americas.

At this time, Yinxiang added a sentence in a timely manner: "The Beiyang Fleet led by Yande should be able to return to Tianjin from the port of Acapulco at the end of March and early April. ”

Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed, and someone eagerly asked: "Thirteenth Master, how fast is the return voyage?" ”

"According to the Spanish captain, the return voyage is smooth, and you can reach Manila from the port of Acapulco in three months. ”

Hearing this, all the banner lords and princes immediately said goodbye one after another, and rushed back to their respective mansions in a hurry. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
