Chapter 240: Disaster Relief in Progress

"Based on what I said, I ask all government-run grain stores in Jiangxi to open warehouses to release grain, set up soup kitchens, don't leave grain for me, and take it all out for disaster relief!"

"Give Huguang a text! Mobilize all the local troops that can move for me to go to Jiangxi for disaster relief! ”

"Ask Xie Zihua of the Daming Supply and Marketing Bureau to hurry up for me! The game is smashed, I want him to fill in Xie Zihua's life! ”

After Zhu Youzhen, who had a cold expression, said this, he sat silently in the palace.

Queen Zhou behind her was constantly massaging Zhu Youzhen with her slender jade fingers to relieve fatigue.

"Your Majesty . . . Have you been busy with state affairs lately? Queen Zhou spoke in a very soft voice, as if she was afraid that if she was heavier, she would disturb Zhu Youzhen.

Squinting, Zhu Youzhen didn't speak: "It's okay.."

Empress Zhou then said: "Your Majesty.. There won't be an accident in Jiangxi, right? ”

Unexpectedly, Zhu Youzhen suddenly opened his eyes and said to Queen Zhou: "Jiangxi will naturally have no accidents, but this rainstorm will wash out other things." ”

....

"Everyone has it, leave one dry food, and distribute all the rest to the people affected by the disaster!"

"Yes!"

"Everybody, unpack the food bag!"

As more and more of the military rations were distributed to the people affected along the way.

The reputation of the Pingnan Army has gradually spread farther and farther among the displaced people.

The figure of the Pingnan Army first appeared in Jiujiang, Jiangxi, as the state capital north of Nanchang, and the situation here was also the most serious.

Since the Pingnan Army received Zhu Youzhen's permission to enter Jiangxi, Huo Weihua did not stop for a moment.

Immediately count the people and go to Jiangxi for disaster relief.

Unlike traditional droughts, which are the main food shortages, the recovery time from such floods will be longer.

It's just that now the tax mechanism of the Ming Dynasty has become quite flexible, after the disaster in Jiangxi.

The Daming Royal Taxation Bureau published the news in the Daming Monthly Newspaper for the first time after asking Zhu Youjian about the comprehensive exemption of agricultural taxes in Jiangxi this year.

....

Burst!

A soldier of the Pingnan Army slipped under his feet.

Fallen on the march.

The flooding caused by the heavy rains has rendered many of the official roads that had been repaired no longer usable.

So it's all about going anywhere and finding a way to solve it.

"Quick! It's almost time to Jiujiang Mansion, everyone has it, speed up and move forward! Huo Weihua was also in the marching queue.

The muddy road made his official robe stained with a lot of mud, and he looked a little embarrassed.

"The whole army has it, the destination is Jiujiang Fucheng, accelerate the advance!"

"Yes! Everyone is speeding up! ”

Huo Weihua's orders were constantly shouted by the soldiers, one after another, and passed to the rear of the marching procession.

Despite the muddy roads and the speed of the march being greatly slowed down, the Pingnan army quickly reached Jiujiang Province.

And Tian Yongde, who was in Jiujiang Mansion, was listening to the report of his officials with a shocked face...

"You mean? The Pingnan Army of the imperial court came to Jiujiang Mansion for disaster relief? ”

Tian Yongde really couldn't believe his ears, but is there really a soldier in the army in this world who will give disaster relief to the local people?

But he couldn't help but think about it anymore.

"Lord Prefect, you can go out and have a look, the Pingnan army is almost outside the city, I heard that it was Lord Huo Weihua, the secretary of the military department, who personally led the army to Jiujiang Mansion..."

"Good! All right! I heard that the Pingnan Army went to Guangdong to rest because they were going to pacify the war in Annan, and I still didn't understand it...

But now it seems that the emperor's move was really prescient!! Tian Yongde, who was full of emotion, really didn't think much about it.

He got up and went to the city gate to meet the Pingnan army who came to relieve the disaster.

After the overall training in the Beijing Division.

The veterans in the Pingnan Army who could not accept the various systems of the imperial court have basically been removed.

After all, in the planning of the imperial court, the Pingnan Army should be no different from the Tianhu Army in terms of training...

Therefore, none of the veterans who are responsible for the training of recruits have left their hands.

In addition, the overall appearance of the Pingnan Army actually benefits from the better quality of troops than the Tianhu Army.

It is even slightly higher than the newly trained Tigers.

It's just that the elimination rate is a bit high..

Many local soldiers who entered the Pingnan Army could not bear the suffering and were dismissed and returned to their hometowns.

But more of the soldiers who stayed behind completely became the backbone of the Pingnan Army.

"It's a long way off! It's a long way off! Wang Shi came to Jiujiang Mansion, and the official... I really don't know what to say! ”

Huo Weihua was not at the front of the queue, but after seeing the Pingnan Army just now, Tian Yongde couldn't help but feel excited in his heart.

He said to the soldiers of the Pingnan Army.

Heavy rain is still falling.

Constantly washing the land.

Tian Yongde's voice was very loud, and after a while, he was hoarse and unable to speak.

I couldn't tell if it was rain or tears on my cheeks.

But when Huo Weihua arrived, he saw that Tian Yongde's eyes were red.

There was a deep exhaustion in his bloodshot eyes.

"You're... Tian Yongde? ”

Huo Weihua asked tentatively.

"The next official is Tian Yongde.."

The two glanced at each other and didn't say hello again, of course, mainly because the current image of the two is really not much better.

If you change your clothes, throw them on the street.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is two beggars who ask for food.

But now, at the time of the catastrophe, there is no need to care about so much, Huo Weihua did not hesitate.

After arranging the disaster relief matters in Jiujiang Mansion, he had to hurry to Nanchang.

"Lord Tian, let's talk about the current situation in Jiujiang Mansion, are the people seriously affected?" Huo Weihua just spoke.

Tian Yongde couldn't help but blurt out: "Master Huo, I believe you have seen a lot all the way from Henan, and now the flood situation in Jiujiang is not optimistic... I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of people will be affected. ”

"Why are there so many?" Huo Weihua was shocked.

"Jiujiang is located in the north of Nanchang, coupled with the developed shipping, a number of domestic routes converge here... Naturally, it is highly populated. ”

Tian Yongde said that it was okay, but Huo Weihua didn't hear it anymore.

"Lord Tian, if according to what you said, there are still a lot of ships in Jiujiang Mansion?" Huo Weihua keenly thought of another aspect of things.

Tian Yongde also seemed to react, and hurriedly beckoned the person behind him and said, "What is the situation of the boats on the river, has anyone ever seen it!" ”

The official behind him was also stunned.

When Tian Yongde saw this scene, how could he not guess that the other party had not taken care of the cargo ships on the river at all.

"You didn't care! Right!? Tian Yongde gritted his teeth and said, and his anger was instantly raised.

The official who followed him also panicked suddenly, and he couldn't say a whole sentence...

"Tian . . Mr. Tian.. I'm confused! I've been patronizing those dams... I can't take care of it! I'm confused, I'm confused! ”
