Chapter 80: Gao Chi and Gao Xu

Leave Xu Da here to dig and dig and dig,

Zhu Xiongying turned to leave, Xu Da's ears moved,

But

still pretended not to know that His Royal Highness the Holy Sun had left, and concentrated on completing the task assigned by His Highness,

When Xia Yuanji saw this scene, he lowered his head and wrote wildly.

High, too high!

Otherwise, if you are a national prince, you are a squire!

That's a lot of difference in the height of thought!

Zhu Xiongying walked briskly while calling over Ma Sanbao,

Said

"First of all, remove the mud from all places,

Start from Jiujiang Mansion and go down the river.

Don't let the people claim the exhumed corpses, just put them in a cremation place.

Now at this time, let's not increase the workload for the fifth uncle. ”

Ma Sanbao smiled shyly and nodded yes,

Then he ran to the side and beckoned the men and horses to start dredging.

Jiangnan is in ruins, and there are places to employ people everywhere, and they are very busy.

Sometimes, I have to admire the tenacity of the descendants of China,

The front foot is flooded, and all the savings of the whole life are washed away,

As soon as the rainstorm stopped, people started to build their homes with their backhands.

Can't be broken, can't be bent,

Xia Yuanji said very quickly beside Zhu Xiongying,

"Your Highness, Weichen still distributes food by household, and first gives them enough rations to wrap their stomachs."

Zhu Xiongying nodded,

"Send more, the grain here is gone,

It was transferred from Beijing, and if there was no Beijing, it was transferred from Liaodong.

Don't eat the food that has been soaked in this corpse, and dispose of it all.

You can't save money on this,

If you eat the disaster victims, it will be even more troublesome. ”

During the Qin and Han dynasties, there was no doubt that the north was far better than the south.

The south is a barbarian land compared to the north,

During the Spring and Autumn Period, in the state of Chu a little south,

can't integrate into the circle of the Central Plains at all, and people don't take him to play at all.

However, it has not been the same since the end of the Han Dynasty,

Jiangdong is run very well by Sun Quan,

In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, scholars crossed to the south, bringing a large number of talents and technologies to the south.

The political center is also gradually moving south.

The north is chaotic and war-torn and has no development at all. economic space,

The development of the south reached its peak in the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty basically did not throttle money.

The large-scale expenditures of the Song Dynasty were divided into three categories,

The first is the expenditure of the imperial court, and the keynote of the founding of the Song Dynasty is to emphasize literature and light military force.

Various ways such as Enyin, imperial examinations, and officials of the former dynasty can enter the court as officials, and the expenses of these officials are extremely huge.

The second is military spending, the Song Dynasty did not need soldiers to raise soldiers,

Raising troops was a political purpose rather than a military purpose, and the emperor paid more attention to internal stability than defending the frontier.

Use the method of enlisting in the army to absorb the rioters, so as to teach them not to go out and cause trouble.

As for the rulers who focus on the strategy of fighting outside and first securing the inside, the basic outcome is almost the same.

So if the Song Dynasty raised troops to maintain stability, how could it defend against Liaojin and other countries?

The answer given by the emperor of the Song Dynasty was simple,

Scatter coins.

I have money, just throw coins!

Annuity? To give!

Naboo? To give!

It is not an exaggeration to say that these three major expenses, just one of them is for Lao Zhu to bear,

Lao Zhu was so worried that he couldn't eat or sleep.

But the emperor of the Song Dynasty not only made ends meet, but also saved money.

The key point is that

This place south of the Yangtze River is too good.

Whatever you want, it's all money!

Southern agricultural cattle,

Suhu is ripe, and the world is full.

textile cattle,

A large number of woven brocades exported overseas are basically from the south.

Business is better.

Entrenched in countless customs outlets,

The northern merchants are still there, and the southern merchants have already begun to make huge cash flows.

And in Zhu Xiongying's strategic planning,

Since the national fortune bonus gave the opportunity for the first scientific and technological revolution to break out, the first industry to burst into the steam age was the textile industry.

The steam engine will not be mass-produced for a while and a half, and Jenny Textile Machine will be in charge.

And the textile industry must be in the land of Jiangnan.

The strategic position is so important,

Now that there is a disaster, even if the entire Ming Dynasty gathers its strength, it will have to be saved by oxygen to this place.

Xia Yuanji nodded again and again,

"Your Highness, Weichen knows."

"Well, nothing else matters, talent is the most important thing.

When the food is gone, you can plant it again, and when the people are gone, there is nothing. ”

Xia Yuanji silently calculated in his heart,

The surplus food saved in the past two years is enough to deal with this catastrophe, if it weren't for His Highness's early planning,

This natural disaster is very likely to cause a human disaster.

"Your Highness, if you want to send grain from the local area for disaster relief, let's transfer it to Shandong first."

Zhu Xiongying was a little curious,

Asked

"What does this mean?"

Xia Yuanji said seriously,

"The rice in the granary of the capital is all new grain, and the rice in the local state capital is all old rice.

Liaodong and the grassland are too slow to be transferred, and Shandong can be transferred by water.

If we eat accumulated grain, we must start with old rice. ”

Zhu Xiongying was stunned,

Then he shook his head and smiled,

"Just do as you say.

First transfer grain from Qingzhou Mansion to this side. ”

"Yes, Your Highness!"

"Let's get to work."

...........

Grassland Daming West Border

"Daddy!"

Zhu Gaochi pulled his little brother Zhu Gaochu and ran in from outside the tent,

Zhu Di was shocked, and hurriedly got up and picked up his two younger sons,

Seeing the two younger sons' faces flushed with cold,

distressed,

"Why are you here?!"

"I brought them with me.

They said they missed you, and they made a lot of trouble, so I brought them here. ”

Xu Miaoyun took off her felt cloak, and swept to a tall figure in her afterglow.

Hurriedly saluted respectfully,

"Third brother!"

The third Zhu Li laughed heartily,

"Hahaha, brother and sister! Long time no see! ”

Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaoxu,

Bellowed

"Don't you say hello when you see an elder?!"

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaochu were so frightened that they trembled, and hurriedly ran to the third child like a giant.

Respectfully,

"Hello third uncle."

The third child, Zhu Li, likes children very much, and hugged the two children over.

Laughed and said,

"Wait a minute, Uncle San will send you two fine grassland daggers!"

Zhu Gaoxu nodded happily,

"Thank you, Uncle San!"

And the eldest son, Zhu Gaochi, is chattering, obviously not like this thing.

Xu Miaoyun said curiously,

"Third brother, why did you come here?"

The third Zhu Li's eyes flashed,

Opening,

"There's nothing wrong with me over there, I heard that it's not easy to fiddle here, so I'll come here to help the fourth."

Xu Miaoyun was silent when she heard this, she actually saw the solemnity in Zhu Li's eyes,

I've never seen this before!

"Husband, you talk about business, I'll take the child out first."

Before Zhu Di could speak, the third child clapped his hands and said,

"Brother and sister, what are you doing outside? How cold!

Right here

The third brother has already heard of the names of the younger siblings and girls, and he may be able to help us come up with ideas here. ”

After getting the consent of the third brother, Xu Miaoyun dared to sit down.
