When the army goes out, there are a lot of troublesome things, and Yang Ming doesn't have to worry about the canal, but he has to take care of it when he walks from Guanzhong.

After the completion of the Chi Road, Zhang Heng, who was originally relegated to Yulin County, went to Jiangdu and was responsible for repairing the Jiangdu Palace.

But at present, there are still a lot of trivial matters on the road, so the emperor stayed in Jingshi and was in Shangshu Province all day long, helping to deal with official affairs.

Which army rested at what time and at which post station, the timetable was arranged by the Ministry of War, and the post station was all discussed by the emperor, so he had to help arrange it, after all, there had been several jokes before.

More than 10,000 people lived in a post house that could only accommodate 3,000 people, there was no place to sleep in the barracks, people sat on the ground, people were crowded, it was so warm that it was really warm, you fart, dozens of people could smell it.

The road is easy to walk, and it is really difficult to spend the night, either lacking this or lacking that.

Yang Ming directly asked some officials of the East Palace to go to Shangshu Province to help, dealing with one trivial matter after another, one after another.

As for him, he was working with Liu Xuan, Li Gang, Yuan Wendu and other important officials of the East Palace, looking at a military intelligence report from the Ministry of War.

Yang Ming already knew about the affairs of Zhuojun, the emperor did not go to Zhuojun, and the edict of Goguryeo was not announced to the world, so there was no fight in front, and Wei Yunqi could only hold back.

The military newspaper in Yang Ming's hand has nothing to do with the expedition to Goguryeo, but he is very fond of it.

Because in Shandong, a rebel appeared, Comrade Wang Bo, who fired the first shot of the uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty, rebelled under the nose of Zhang Xutuo of Qi County.

That's why, conscription, conscription, the imperial court has always had preferential treatment for Shandong, it is the people in this place, the temper is too hard, they will pull the flag and rebel at every turn, and the rebellion in one place will soon develop into a rebellion in the whole Shandong.

What do you make the people of Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Hebei think of you? Aren't they more oppressed than you?

"How many people did the Shandong Military Mansion smoke this time?" Yang Ming asked.

Fang Xuanling hurriedly said: "The army is 110,000, and the people are 300,000. ”

"It's not important at all," Liu Hongji smiled bitterly: "How much injustice have they suffered, and they dare to say those words?" ”

Wang Bo is really a rebellion, he is not the same nature as the Hebei people's rebellion, and even with Gao Yingnian's rebels, it is not the same, people are blatantly creating a ballad: to resist the army, to resist the election, every family wants to collect iron tools, collect iron to make guns, and kill the dirty officials.

At present, he has not had time to create the famous "Death Song of Liaodong Waves", but with this sentence alone, the heart of rebellion is already obvious.

In fact, there are rebellions in the Great Sui every year, and they are basically civilians, only civilians rebel and dare to scold the emperor, and the excuses for the rebellion of the scholars are generally more magnificent, and they will definitely not involve the emperor.

The hardest-hit areas of the rebellion were in the south, and it was rare in the north, after all, 70 percent of the military government of the Great Sui was in the north.

The rebellion in the south will soon be pacified, that is, the Ministry of War allocated some money and food, and even some people once thought that the generals below were short of money, instigating a group of bandits to make trouble, and then saying that it was a rebellion and defrauding the court of money.

So Wang Bo made trouble this time, but the military department didn't take it very seriously, and they still wondered why the prince took it so seriously.

Yang Ming said: "The Ministry of War has issued a document to Zhang Xutuo, ordering him to quell the rebellion as soon as possible, but Zhang Xutuo now has a maximum of about 1,000 soldiers under his hands, and he may not be able to suppress it." ”

"The king thief is instigating the people to evade service, and he is also known as Zhishilang, who is very good at demagoguery," Li Gang frowned and said: "Now that the war is about to start, this kind of thing in Shandong still needs to be solved as soon as possible, so as not to become a prairie fire." ”

Yuan Wendu smiled: "It's not that serious, right?" These people are just a group of bandits who fled into Changbai Mountain, and Zhang Xutuo's 1,000 soldiers are enough to break it. ”

Xue Shui shook his head and said: "At present, there are many people who evade military service and labor, and the government cannot arrest them for a while, and the king thief is the first to use the slogan of desertion to gather people to rebel, if it can't be exterminated as soon as possible, I am afraid that other places will follow suit, this is a big problem." ”

"The matter of Shandong can't be passed on, and no one dares to take this risk and learn from the king and thief," Wei Fusi, the keeper of the house, said with a smile.

Li Mi shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, at present, the fugitives are blooming everywhere, no one can say where these people will flow to, it is precisely because they are too scattered, so the local government can't manage it, not to mention that there are indeed no superfluous people to arrest the fugitives at the moment, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it's not a good thing." ”

The crown prince Xian Ma Liu Xuan said: "Your Highness may wish to send someone to say hello to the Shandong clan, and ask them to open a courtyard to help Zhang Xutuo exterminate the rebels." ”

At present, the imperial court can't allocate money and food, so Zhang Xutuo can't recruit troops temporarily, so he can only rely on the inherent team of the military government to fight Wang Bo.

But it definitely can't be beaten.

On the side of Qi County, there is no refined weapons and armor, and those military guards are also poor at the moment, and they may not be willing to sell their lives, not to mention the huge disparity in strength, Zhang Xutuo himself may not dare to fight.

According to the official document of the Ministry of War, Wang Bo has now gathered 6,000 people, and the people from all over Shandong are also responding, but I am afraid that Zhang Xutuo's 1,000 people have not yet arrived in Changbai Mountain, and they are already 10,000 people.

10,000 people, even if they are empty-handed, can destroy 1,000 of you.

As for what Liu Xuan said about letting the family contribute, don't expect it, at this time, people will only protect themselves, and will definitely not help, especially when that place is the hometown of the Northern Qi Dynasty, when Yang Liang rebelled, he implicated a group of people, all of whom were killed by the imperial court, and it was impossible for them to contribute.

But Wang Bo must be suppressed, otherwise next, there are Hao Xiaode, Sun Xuanya, Liu Badao, Zhang Jincheng four Shandong, Gao Shida, Dou Jiande two Hebei people, Zhai Rang, Henan Yin, are waiting for the rebellion.

This year is the seventh year of the great cause, and in February, these anti-thieves in history have all emerged this year.

Yang Ming thought that he had suppressed his father's harm to a very small extent, but he didn't expect Wang Bo to be born.

It can be seen that there are some things that he can't change.

At this time, Yang Ming suddenly frowned and said, "Did you come to Hu'er's side, the oppression was too fierce?" Otherwise, Shandong shouldn't be like this this time? ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Rongguo Gong repaired the ship, requisitioned 200,000 people, all of them are from Shandong, the casualties should not be light, Shandong this time, it should be related to last year's flood, the heavy rain flooded a county in Henan, but flooded six counties in Shandong, the people's harvest last year, should not even be enough to pay taxes." ”

Yang Ming frowned and said: "Henan disaster relief, it was donated by officials, didn't Shandong have grain from Jiangnan sent over for disaster relief?" ”

"This minister doesn't know," Fang Xuanling shook his head.

Yang Ming suddenly said: "Call Cui Zhongfang to me." ”

After a while, Cui Zhongfang, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, came, and Yang Ming asked directly:

"Last year's flood in Shandong, 2 million stones of grain were transferred from the south of the Yangtze River, but was it used in practice?"

Cui Zhongfang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly became a little hesitant.

Yang Ming immediately felt bad: "Say! ”

"This matter can only be said to the prince alone," Cui Zhongfang said helplessly.

Yang Ming was dumbfounded, it's over, this Nima must be involved in my father.

So he brushed his sleeves and entered the apse, and Cui Zhongfang hurriedly followed.

"Last year, Luoyang Xingluocang was flooded, with a loss of nearly 3 million stones, and Shandong's disaster relief grain was transferred to make up for this shortfall, and now it has been sent to Zhuo County," Cui Zhongfang said in a low voice.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Yang Ming was furious.

Cui Zhongfang said with a bitter face: "His Royal Highness went to Zhongnan Mountain to hunt at that time, and the minister didn't have time to report it, and this was approved by His Majesty, and the Jingshi side is just a backup file, and there is no right to intervene, and the other ministries don't know, only the Ministry of Civil Affairs knows, because the allocation of food has to go through the Ministry of Civil Affairs." ”

Where is the emperor, which Shangshu Province is Shangshu Province, don't look at the Ministry of Civil Affairs Shangshu in Beijing, he is too old to walk, so he stays here, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs that can really coordinate the world's materials is in Luoyang.

If Cui Zhongfang hadn't been the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Yang Guang might not have let him know.

Awesome, Dad, it has to be you, I'll just say, why did the good Wang Bo still come out, and you gave Shandong a pit.

No wonder such a big thing, over there in Luoyang, Pei Ju, Yang Yue and Xuan Gan, there was no news at all, it turned out that they were doing it without telling the world?

It seems that the father is also afraid of tarnishing his reputation, and secretly embezzled the disaster relief food, since it is a shady thing, naturally the less people know about it, the better.

And Cui Zhongfang also knew that he couldn't say this, if it weren't for Yang Ming being the prince, he wouldn't have said it.

Yang Ming sighed helplessly: "Got it, you go back." ”

"The minister retired,"

After Cui Zhongfang left, Yang Ming also returned to the front hall, but he didn't mention this matter again, and he couldn't poke out this unpleasant thing that his father did in front of so many people.

But everyone in the palace also realized that there must be something wrong with the relief food, otherwise the prince's face would not be so ugly.

But everyone was also very interested and didn't ask questions.

Yang Ming knew that the current Shandong was not a matter of counterinsurgency, but how to provide disaster relief, and the affected people could not be appeased, and there would only be more and more thieves like Wang Bo.

Exterminating the rebels is only a symptom but not a root cause.

But where does the food go? I really can't get it.

Yang Ming returned to Guanghua Hall and discussed with his wife Yinjiang about raising grain.

"The people have no food in their hands, but the family has more in their hands, but how can they move it out of their granary?" Yang Ming washed his feet from the warm winter and frowned.

After Yang Yinjiang pondered for a long time, he said, "Didn't the husband have the idea of beating monks in Bashu?" Ask your father to try it elsewhere. ”

"It doesn't work," Yang Ming said categorically: "Some methods can be used in Bashu, but they may not be able to be used in other places, and if they are done in other places now, the chaos will be even greater." ”

Bashu is closed, and basically doesn't communicate with other places, so sometimes it's okay to mess around, but it's not okay in other places.

Yang Yinjiang nodded, fell silent, and was helping her husband find a way in her mind.

She can give a little here, but she can't do too much, after all, because of the winter clothes, she has already spent 600,000 yuan, and Donggong is also short of money at the moment.

"I feel that Feng Yuzhi doesn't want to leave this time, but I'm afraid that Feng Ang will mean the same thing," Yang Yinjiang said: "It's better to let Feng Yuzhi help." ”

Yang Ming frowned and said: "Lingnan has already contributed this time, there are not many tuntian fields in that place, and I am afraid there is not much food now." ”

Yang Yinjiang said with a smile: "Only Feng Ang contributed in Lingnan, but there is another person who did not contribute." ”

Yang Ming frowned and said, "Who?" ”

"Slang Chieftain, Ning Changzhen," Yang Yinjiang said with a smile.
