Offering advice to a governor, if the other party can at least listen to him, he can only rely on the identity of Gao Gong's nephew, and the other identities are all for nothing, not to mention the Xiucai who has just arrived, even if the prince reads with him, it is meaningless.

Only the "nephew of the high arch" can make Su Yonglu at least able to listen to him.

Gao pragmatic thought that he was not a military genius, and let him make suggestions for military deployment, let alone Su Yonglu, even he didn't have much confidence in himself, so he didn't plan to make many suggestions on military operations.

What he is good at, in the final analysis, is politics. At least for the maintenance of stability, he had some contact in his previous life, and he was relatively confident in doing this.

Gao Shishi's suggestion is divided into several parts, the first of which is to explain to Su Yonglu: These homeless people are not even called "army" in themselves, they are nothing more than they can't survive anymore, and a few leaders spontaneously appeared, leading a group of people to rush to the places where there is food and clothing to grab a wave and make a living.

Su Yonglu basically agreed with this point of view, but he didn't speak, after all, as long as he is not a fool, anyone can see this truth - these homeless rebels did not shout that they wanted to call the king and the emperor and change the dynasty.

Explaining this problem, Gao Pragmatic began to get to the point, and he said to Su Yonglu that since these people did not intend to cause chaos, then the government did not necessarily have to kill them all, but should be suppressed and appeased, and appeasement is greater than suppression.

Su Yonglu frowned and said that it was not that he didn't want to be appeased, the key was that these people came directly to Guide Mansion, and as the governor of a province, he had to be appeased in the end, at least the premise was that they could not be allowed to mess up the place under their rule, otherwise where would the majesty of the imperial court be?

In addition, Su Yonglu also said that a bigger problem here is that the appeasement has to be resettled, and the imperial court has no money to resettle, and Henan does not have that ability - this is not hundreds of thousands of people, this is hundreds of thousands, and even millions of people, the imperial court can't come up with so much money to appease, let alone Henan?

After all, Su Yonglu is an ally of the Gao Party, and he is a member of the Gao Party if he rounds it off, so he does not see Gao Pragmatic, the little guy who will become an important figure in the next generation of the Gao Party, and tells Gao Pragmatic very sincerely, saying that he has already checked the Henan Treasury, and at best he can make up four or five hundred thousand taels of silver for appeasement.

That's not enough money!

Think about it, if four or five hundred thousand taels of silver are averaged, is each refugee enough to share one tael of silver? Even if it is good to divide one or two pieces of silver, and even assuming that the price of grain in Henan does not fluctuate, this two pieces of silver will be enough to eat for a month.

You know, they are outcasts, they have nothing, they rely on these two pieces of silver to eat this month, will they start to drink wind and smoke next month?

Therefore, it is basically useless to rely on directly throwing money to appease him, unless Henan can take out the money in one breath is not four or five hundred thousand taels, but four or five million taels.

This is nonsense, the imperial court can't come up with so much money, not to mention Henan and the Netherlands.

Although Gao Pragmatic knew the family background of Henan Mansion for the first time, it was not important, anyway, it was almost the same as he estimated, in short, it was not enough.

So he was not shocked, let alone panicked, but just asked Su Yonglu very calmly, saying that there are any big projects in Henan that are being done or are going to be done?

Dagong refers to a large project, of course, generally speaking, it can be called a big work, which is basically ordered by the imperial court.

Of course, there are big workers in Henan, and it is located in the middle reaches of the Yellow River, and it is difficult to think of it without big workers.

What is the full name of Su Yonglu, the governor of Henan?

Governor Henan and other places are also in charge of rivers and military affairs.

The governor of Henan and other places is the duty of the "governor of Henan", and his main responsibility is to supervise local officials in the capacity of the imperial history of the Metropolitan Inspectorate. Well, in Gao Pragmatic's view, this position is analogous to a certain place in the Red Dynasty.

The reason why the governor of the Ming Dynasty has the name of "military gate", and the governor of the Qing Dynasty does not have this statement, the reason is that the governor of the Ming Dynasty himself served as the governor of the province, and the governor of the Qing Dynasty generally did not serve as the governor, and the governor of the Qing Dynasty generally did not serve as the governor, and the governor of the Qing Dynasty was set up separately, usually by the military general.

And Gao Pragmatic's current point of mind lies in the other of his two part-time jobs: also managing the river.

Water control has always been a very important task in ancient China, and the Ming Dynasty was no exception. There is no need to give many examples of its importance, just from the fact that "concurrently managing the river" can be compared with "admiral military affairs", and even placed before the admiral's military affairs.

Does it need to be said that the work that can be personally handled by the governor of a province is still important? Since it is so important, of course, it is not just a name, but a serious matter to be done.

The big thing is the river work.

The river is not only the Yellow River, but it does mainly refer to the Yellow River, after all, in ancient China, the rivers in the south were generally relatively honest, and the most dishonest was only the Yellow River.

The Yellow River is harmful, but it is only profitable. Let's not talk about the profit set first, anyway, the Hetao has been lost, and if you want to take it back, you have to wait for him to be pragmatic and take power.

They have all been "harmful", and of course they have to be governed, so the imperial court has set up a large number of related official positions. From the river chief who specialized in the management of the Yellow River, the imperial historian of the right capital and the premier of Hecao, to the local chief officials who "concurrently manage the river", as well as all kinds of local military equipment and political participation in "taking charge of the river" and "concurrently managing water conservancy", and even Pizhou and other places such as Pizhou, which has always broken its embankment recently, have even set up special posts such as "Huai'an Prefecture River Governor Tongzhi", it can be said that all of them have started from this line of thinking.

Due to its location, Henan has always been the focus of the imperial court - the Central Plains can't be chaotic! Therefore, the river general is often stationed in Henan, and will only personally supervise it in the event of a serious embankment breach.

Therefore, Gao pragmatically suggested that Su Yonglu immediately contact the new river general Pan Jitao, suspend the levy and payment of this year's labor and conscription, and at the same time change the direct recruitment to "work for relief" and "work for care".

To put it simply, it is to arrange these troublemakers to clear the river, instead of those civilians or military households who were originally to be conscripted to serve in the conscription.

Gao explained to Su Yonglu that there are at least three advantages of doing this:

One is that there are so many people in civil turmoil, and Henan, the hinterland of the Central Plains, is already densely populated, and it is almost impossible for the fields to be ownerless, so how can they be resettled? Leaving so many refugees with no land and no money, sooner or later chaos will arise when they have nothing to do, and they must be given something to do.

The second is that there are several big works to be opened on the side of the river headquarters, and the requisition and issuance of conscription is to employ people, and the requisition and distribution of conscription will also lead to the misappropriation of civilian labor and increase the burden on the people.

The third is that these homeless people can't live anymore, no matter whether they originally had land or no land, property or not, anyway, they are now poor and white, and they have nothing left except a small life, they only want a bite to eat. The use of conscription is also to take care of food, and even now many times it is necessary to pay a little more or less, and with these displaced people, as long as they take care of food, even their wages are saved, and it is even more convenient for the government and the people, so why not?
