Zhang Anshi's words can be described as categorical.

made Zhu Jin, who was still a little distressed, speechless.

Zhang Anshi immediately said: "Shui Shi's side, wait and see his news." ”

After that, he turned his gaze to Chen Li, who came in behind, and smiled: "Have all the provinces that suffered from the disaster sent people?" ”

Chen Li said: "According to your Royal Highness's orders, people have been sent up and down. ”

Zhang Anshi has always been very relieved of Chen Li's ability to do things, so he only bowed his head and said: "Keep staring, stare at me to death." ”

Chen Lili said: "Obey." ”

"There are ......" Zhang Anshi said slowly: "There are some things that happened in the provinces of Henan, which can be slightly revealed to Dongchang." ”

Chen Li was stunned for a moment, and seemed a little unclear for a while, so he said: "Your Highness means ......"

Zhang Anshi said: "There are some things outside Zhili, we say something, and there are always some inconveniences, but if Dongchang comes to expose it, it will be different." This is good for Dongchang, and it is also an opportunity for Father-in-law Yishu to show his face, and he will not refuse. ”

Chen Li had no choice but to nod.

Seeing him like this, Zhang Anshi guessed a little bit of his thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't always think about this little bit of credit, keep your eyes on the long term." At present, this disaster relief is the real human life concern, and there is no need to have any suspicion between the factory and the guard. ”

Chen Liying said: "What His Highness said is that His Highness has written it down." ”

Zhang Anshi sighed, but did not continue to say anything more, turned his head, and said to a scholar standing aside and waiting: "In my name, I will reply to the kings, thank you, and be more modest." ”

The book nodded his head.

"Next, let's look at the water master......" The last words, Zhang Anshi muttered as if talking to himself, and then sighed.

Songjiang port, there is an island, called Chongming, this Chongming Island, is the gateway of the Yangtze River, when Emperor Taizu Gao of the Ming Dynasty reigned, he gave the East China Sea Yingzhou four characters.

In the early years, a large number of people moved to this large island, and since then, the sailor has set up a water village here.

At this time, small boats began to enter the harbor.

A few naked men jumped down from the small boat moored on the dock, and then they began to carry the next basket of sea fish.

There are so many boats like this here.

If as early as a few years ago, when the Ming Dynasty did not really open the sea, fishermen were not allowed to go to the sea, because in the last years of the Yuan Dynasty, fishermen and smuggler salt dealers, once they left the land, went to the sea as a thief, and went ashore to become a good citizen, therefore, the Ming Dynasty strictly prohibited fishing in the sea.

Can ...... now A few years ago, although the trend began to gradually open, there were also some sporadic people who began to go to the sea to fish.

But people already have a stereotypical image of thieves who go to the sea, and ordinary good people, unless they really have no livelihood, will never make a living from this, so there are still a few fishermen who go to the sea.

But just half a year ago, in the water villages of the water divisions, someone suddenly put up a sign to buy marine fish.

The silver given is real money, and there will never be a shortage of pounds or two.

How many fish you want.

Not only that, but also encouraged the people to go to the sea.

There are even people who teach people to go out to sea to fish.

There are also some small wharves specially set up by sailors for fishermen to go to the sea.

Most of the people were cautious.

Especially in this era, farming can make a living, so for many people, as long as they do not go hungry for a day, they will definitely not easily make other attempts.

It's just that...... The water villages everywhere have quite prestige among the people.

Once upon a time, he was a good man, not a soldier.

But the captains of these sailors are different, they all have excellent food in the water village, and they all look strong, and they are wearing clothes and armor made of good materials.

In the eyes of ordinary people, what comes out of the official school is Xiucai.

These people are the most glamorous identities in the eyes of the people.

And now these people have spoken, and even personally led people to the sea to teach fishing, and even willing to provide some fishing gear, and even promised that after catching sea fish, they can get a good amount of silver.

The lure is attractive enough, and naturally there will be fish willing to come forward.

So, finally, someone was willing to try.

The first batch to go to sea, according to the method, really came back with a full load of sea fish.

At this time, there is no so-called overfishing, and after the sea is closed, there are almost no natural enemies of fishermen in the surrounding waters, so there is no suspense that the catch is not small.

Immediately after that, as soon as they landed, people began to weigh their fish and shrimp, and according to the price, they gave them directly silver.

These new fishermen, with their eyes open in astonishment, almost trembling and holding the heavy silver dollar, were speechless for a long time.

Farming on weekdays, not to mention tenants, even those ordinary homesteaders, have ten acres and eight acres of land at home, in fact, life is also bitter, all year round, barely a little food to feed the family Hukou is considered a good life, as for the money...... They may have seen copper coins.

But silver, except for the occasional little bit of silver made into silver jewelry as a family heirloom, there is almost no silver trading with people.

But now, this trip to the sea, seven or eight days down, when the four or five taels of silver fell into their hands, they were given an indescribable excitement.

There was a light in their eyes, and hope flashed in the light.

"Thank you, thank you."

Thanking each other excitedly, where is this selling fish, it is like begging.

Soon, the news came out, and immediately after, many people began to flock to the sea.

They took a special fishing boat designed by Shuizhai and took the new fishing gear designed to go to the ocean one by one, exchanging their experience in fishing sea fish with each other.

As for which boy went to sea a few times, he actually went home to marry a new daughter-in-law. Or, who catches a lot of sea fish, so the water village is given a plaque of 'fishing expert', which is even more talking.

In many fishing grounds, almost all of them are marked by sailors, and then people are put on the list.

All the marine fish are purchased by the sailor, and there are no worries.

You know, this is Jiangnan, Jiangnan is densely populated, but the land is scarce, so ...... Even if a large number of laborers go to the sea, in fact, it will not delay the agricultural time.

On the other hand, here in Chongming, there are a large number of fish drying grounds.

There were so many fish in the sea that immediately after they were purchased, a group of people were hired to start gutting the fish and then drying them directly.

Because this fish has salt water, as long as it is dried, it will not rot.

After the fish is dried, it is specially stored.

On this Chongming Island, dozens of fish warehouses have been built, which are specially used for storage.

At this moment.

Lu Qian was in the duty room of his command envoy.

After a new training plan was formulated, the scribes were summoned.

"How many fish have you collected in the past few days?"

"These days, it has increased a lot, and now, it is around 2,000 stone a day."

Two thousand stone is not much, at least relative to grain.

It's not too little, converted into catties, which is a full 20,000 catties a day.

Besides, this is fish, real meat.

Lu Qian nodded, looking extremely satisfied: "Continue to buy, and, I heard that the day before yesterday, a fisherman died?" ”

"Yes, it happened to hit the rock, someone fell into the water, and the rest of the people didn't have time to rescue."

Lu Qian said: "Let people bring some money to comfort his family, it is not easy to make a living in the sea." ”

"General Lu, it's already ...... for us to buy their fish on weekdays."

Lu Qian interrupted him and said, "One yard is one yard, Your Highness said, many times things are not about money." What can be solved with money is the easiest. If a strong man dies in someone's family, how much money can be spent on the pension? But when people are at their saddest, how can they give some comfort compared to a few dollars? You're shrewd in small things, and you're shrewd in big things. ”

The scribe hurriedly said, "Yes, the student understands, and the student will focus on this tomorrow." ”

Lu Qian bowed his head: "In our water village, training is the first thing, but ...... How to teach all the people of the world to benefit from the sea is also an important matter in opening up the ocean. This vast ocean of wealth is inexhaustible and inexhaustible. Therefore, the sailor is not only a military horse, but also a pioneer in seeking livelihood for the people. If not, what is the use of the court raising me? ”

After a pause, he seemed to think of something, and then said: "In addition, there is another important matter, the dried fish in our storehouse, you have to calculate how many stones there are in total, and in a few days, you must report the number." ”

"This ...... The students probably know what to expect. ”

"How many?"

"In the past six months, a total of 400,000 stone of dried fish have been purchased."

Lu Qian was stunned for a moment and said, "Forget it out so quickly?" ”

The scribe smiled bitterly and said: "This is very easy to calculate, the price of the water village is constant, as long as you calculate how much silver is spent to buy, you can calculate the number of goods in and out of the warehouse." ”

Lu Qian couldn't help but smile and said with satisfaction: "I see, it really deserves to be a talent from the Qixia Arithmetic School." Well...... Draw up a report for me, Your Highness means, no matter what the cost, the more the better, we will continue to buy here, and strive to buy another million stones in the future, as for the existing number, also report it. ”

Seeing that Lu Qian was in a good mood, the scribe hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but ask the question in his heart, "General, what do you ......say?" If Your Highness wants to eat sea fish, it is not difficult to supply it, but why do you have to charge so many ......"

Lu Qian restrained his smile, his face was a little solemn, and said, "This, how do you and I know?" We do what we are told. But...... When I think about it, it may have something to do with His Highness's grain collection. ”

The scribe was shocked: "Your Highness collects grain to help the people, but the sea fish...... Forgive the students for being stupid, and all dynasties have never heard of the truth of using meat to help the people. ”

The scribe was even more puzzled.

Even if it is fish, it is meat in the eyes of people, which is a rare good thing, and for the victims, it is not fish, it is food, even if they are given bark, they can gnaw it all.

This is completely beyond the knowledge of the scribes.

Lu Qian smiled bitterly and said, "So, Your Highness's thoughts, how can you and I speculate?" I was in the model camp, and then I was recommended to study in the official academy, and then I worked as a military attache for more than two years, and now I am in this water village, but I only know one thing, anything, and I can act according to His Highness. ”

It's just that the matter of taking sea fish for disaster relief was reminded by this scribe, but it lingered in Lu Qian's mind.

No, it won't be.

It's a fatty fish!

And in the official academy, he heard that eating sea fish has many benefits, and even some fish can be used in medicine.

These benefits are not under the ordinary mutton.

This is only eaten by princes and nobles.

Lu Qian couldn't figure it out for a while, glanced at the scribe beside him, and finally put away his mind and advised: "Go ahead, do your own thing." ”

"Yes."

………………

It didn't take long for a report to be sent to Zhang Anshi's eucalyptus.

When Zhang Anshi saw this, he was overjoyed, and immediately said to the people around him: "Lu Qian is a good person, I didn't misunderstand him, he is a person who can do big things." ”

"Come ......," Zhang Anshi continued, "Give him a letter back......"

The left side of the book is busy spreading out the pen and ink, picking up the pen and waiting.

Zhang Anshi pondered for a moment, paced slowly, and then said, "Brother Lu Qian, my brother ......."

Shuzuo looked up at Zhang Anshi in astonishment, as if he thought he had heard it wrong.

It can be seen that Zhang Anshi is still immersed in the mood of thinking, and he doesn't dare to ask more, but he is busy continuing to write books.

Zhang Anshi said: "The report has been read, the water village can have this good achievement, brother is very relieved, sea fish fishing, not only for the emerging cause, but also closely related to the brother's plan, my brother must not be proud and complacent, brother in Qixia, quietly hear my brother's good news, the number of millions of stones is enough, and the brother is great." ”

Zhang Anshi said, muttering a few more words.

After writing on the left side of the book, he was a little embarrassed: "Your Highness, isn't it too much." ”

"Where's the overheating?"

"General Lu respects His Royal Highness like a division commander, but His Highness ......"

Zhang Anshi shook his head and said: "You don't understand, now I only need fish, as many as I want, who can give me these fish, for my Daming, is the parents of regeneration, such a person who has made great contributions, don't say that he is called a brother, even if I call him a brother, it is nothing." ”

Shuzuo was startled, and he didn't dare to say more, he was afraid that Zhang Anshi would really go crazy, and he would revise the letter himself, and really call this Lu Qian his brother.

Zhang Anshi's heart was completely down-to-earth at this time.

There is food in the hand, and there is no panic in the heart.

At this time, he sat down like a general, and said: "I can't wait any longer, if I continue to wait, I don't know how many people will suffer, and it is time to clean up these people." ”

He muttered to himself, as if he were stunned.

…………

Zhu Di looked at the report.

The disaster situation in several provinces has a tendency to become more and more intense.

But...... Although the situation is very bad, it seems that there is no such bad thing as it can be seen from the reports in various places.

The impact of the disaster is still very large, and the imperial court has allocated a lot of money and food.

Zhu Di feels that such an influence should be slowly suppressed in the spring of next year.

After reading it, Zhu Di sighed.

"The people's livelihood is withering, fortunately the court and the treasury still have money and food, otherwise, this people will die, and I will have no shame to face the world."

His emotion seemed to strengthen his determination to make money more and more.

Yang Rong and the others had no choice but to nod after hearing this.

Yishaha stood aside, looking away, he showed hesitation.

He heard something from the East Factory......

It's just that...... These things were hidden in his belly, but they taught him to hesitate.

There is no problem with the reliability of the news, because he has asked the fans of the East Factory to verify it.

But the problem is that Yisha quickly became keenly aware of it...... It could be a bureau, or rather, a trap.

Otherwise, how can it be so good, these useless fans can intercept so much detailed information.

And it just so happens ...... Such a major matter, his own fans have found out, but Jinyiwei's side seems to have become deaf and blind.

The more I think about it...... Yisha felt a little uneasy.

So he was weighing in his heart whether these things should be reported, or what kind of way should be reported.

If these things were to be reported to His Majesty, how would His Majesty react, and how would he deal with it?

He knew His Majesty's fiery temper all too well.

But the strange movement of his face turned sideways.

was captured by Zhu Di.

The master and slave for so many years, and he has no expression, and he has not escaped Zhu Di's eyes.

Zhu Di said: "It's also lost." ”

After hearing this, he hurriedly said, "The slave is here." ”

Zhu Di said: "What are you hiding in your heart?" ”

"This ...... This ...... "If Your Majesty doesn't ask, it's fine, but once you ask, if you don't answer truthfully, you will be a bully."

Yisha hurriedly knelt down, and then, stumbling and saying, "Slave...... Slaves and maids die. ”

"How good you are, you will die." Zhu Di's face sank: "What's the matter, tell me as soon as possible, if you deceive the king, you will die." ”

"The slave heard some rumors." It is also lost.

Zhu Di's face became more and more cold, and he looked at it deadly.

Yizha said: "The money and grain of the imperial court are in the middle of Henan Guan...... Seem...... Seem...... There was no almsgiving to the people. ”

Zhu Di looked down at the song, and although the severity of the disaster was also depicted, it seemed that he was still working hard for disaster relief.

And the news that came out of Yishiha's mouth was obviously beyond everyone's imagination.

Yang Rong and the others chuckled in their hearts, and they didn't dare to look up at Zhu Di, but they remained silent one by one.

There was a sudden deathly silence in the temple.

Zhu Di said: "How can you see it? ”

According to ...... It is reported...... In Kaifeng, the price of grain has risen nineteen times, Your Majesty, if there is really relief, the victims can barely fill their stomachs, or ...... Or can barely make a living, how to rise food prices, the only possibility, is...... There is no food to be distributed, and this relief is almost better than nothing......"

Zhu Di's face suddenly became a little miserable.

Then, he said, "Is that all?" ”

"And ...... There are also some ......" Yishu said: "There is also the fact that in the provinces of Henan, there are many displaced people, and many displaced people flock to the county seat and the capital city, but the news that Dongchang heard is that the city gates are closed everywhere, so that the corpses outside the city are all over the field, and the slaves and maids want to ...... Since...... Since...... With so many displaced people unable to enter the city, how do they get help? ”

The slave maid also heard that the price of land in Henan has plummeted three times. The price of land in Guanzhong has changed from seventeen taels to two taels. Land prices have plummeted to this point, but food prices have soared...... And also...... And ......"
