The Song army won several battles in a row, and the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Quanzhou was high, and the people of the counties and townships outside the city came either by boat or on foot, and asked to enter the city to help in the war, and there were tens of thousands of people in a few days. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info this is an exciting and happy thing, but the side effects also followed, one is that so many people suddenly poured into the city, and food and accommodation are problems; And as time grows, there are more potential hidden dangers, which causes uneasiness among the ministers.

Zhao Yu was happy and worried after learning the situation, the joy is that his series of behaviors have played a role, and the instigation has contributed a lot, his strategy of driving the people to attack the city not only made the Song army in the city feel great pressure, but also made the people outside the city panic, no one wants to be used as a meat bullet by the Tartars to attack the city, not to mention the life, but also a bad reputation for aiding and abusing. Coupled with the rumors of the massacre spread everywhere, the people outside the city poured into the city.

From the statistics from various places, Zhao Yu can know that although there are many volunteers from all walks of life of the 'King of Qin', their quality is not flattering, among which only about 30% of the young and strong people who are suitable for joining the army and undertaking heavy physical labor are old, weak, women and children. If you look at it from another angle, these people came with their families more to take refuge and find a bowl of rice to eat, and King Qin seems to be in name.

However, Zhao Yu did not reject the influx of family members, after all, the restoration of the Yuan Dynasty was not an overnight thing, and the teenager would grow into an adult. In addition, with the influx of the Xing dynasty in Qiongzhou, the balance between men and women has been broken, and so many men cannot find wives, which will inevitably cause many social problems. And the existence of family members will also be the responsibility that soldiers understand on their shoulders, and it will also contribute to the stability of the team.

Now that the people have arrived, how to send these people to Qiongzhou, and when to send them to Qiongzhou, is a test for Zhao Yu and everyone. After all, the migration of tens of thousands of people is not a simple matter even in modern times, and the slightest carelessness can lead to danger and chaos. And in this era when the means of communication and transportation are extremely rudimentary, if you want to send tens of thousands of people safely to Qiongzhou, thousands of miles away, it is not a matter of preparing only a few ships.

Zhao Yu lacked organizational experience in this kind of thing, so he had to convene his ministers to discuss. Now all the ministries and commissions have moved to the back garden of Pufu to work, and the location of the meeting is chosen in a water pavilion by the lake, which is not only beautiful but also quiet and cool, ventilated and bright, and it is spacious enough, and there are ready-made tables and chairs inside, which can be used as a meeting room by simply rearranging it.

Early in the morning, Wang De had people clean and arrange, Ni Liang arranged a guard around him, and the ministers who accompanied him had already gathered here. Zhao Yu did not agree with the rules of the emperor sitting and the ministers standing and kneeling in the ancient dynasty, although this is conducive to highlighting the class and elevating the status of the emperor, but he does not think so, after all, prestige is not reflected by the level of sitting, if you are an idiot and you sit on the spire, you will only become a laughing stock.

Therefore, as long as it is not a very formal occasion, Zhao Yu is very casual and will give a seat to discuss matters with his ministers. Today is no exception, the ministers will be seated after seeing the ceremony, and everyone will sit down according to the left and right martial arts, and the official rank. Everyone found that there were not only seats, but also a small tea table was placed on everyone's side, and tea was prepared. In order to prevent it from becoming a tea party, Zhao Yu still did not prepare melon seeds, fruits and snacks.

"Your Majesty, the people who have entered the city for several days have reached more than 60,000 people, and the daily consumption of grain alone has reached more than 4,000 stones. Cai Wanyi got up first and said.

"Hmm!" Zhao Yu nodded, now there are more than 300,000 people in the city plus the army, and the daily consumption of grain is equivalent to the daily consumption of the entire Qiongzhou, and since entering the city, the Song army has raised grain and grass through various means up to one million stones. Because they did not plan to stay for a long time, in addition to supplying military supplies, most of them had already been transported back to Qiongzhou, and the war stopped by transporting grain from other cities, so all that was consumed was the grain stored in the city. The fact that daily food prices, which had been stable some time ago, are now beginning to rise, indicating that food supplies have tightened.

"Your Majesty, it is reported that the instigation of the army has allowed all the armies to collect grain everywhere, and the grain and grass in the surrounding counties and towns have been looted by the enemy, and it is already very difficult to raise grain from outside the city!" Wen Tianxiang also got up and played.

"Hmm!" Zhao Hao hummed again and didn't say much. But he already knew in his heart that under such circumstances, the people who entered the city were afraid that there would be no food, and they entered the city in addition to avoiding the military disaster, but they were also afraid that they were forced to eat in the city because of lack of food, after all, the emperor could not send hungry soldiers.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this is all a treacherous plan to instigate the capital, because he can no longer drive the people to attack the city, so he will set up troops to grab food, but he does not intercept the people who enter the city, which means to increase the consumption of food in the city and force us to retreat!" Zhang Shijie then got up and played.

"The cardinal commander is right, and he has failed to attack the city several times, and he wants to force us to withdraw our troops because of this." Zhao Yu thought about what Zhang Shijie said was the correct solution, and the people entered the city on a large scale or instigated.

"Although it is vicious to instigate the capital, it has also helped us, so that we can gather so many people under our banner without much difficulty!" Ying Jie Yan stroked his beard and smiled.

"Hehe, that's right, our people will eat all the food in the city before leaving, leaving a ruined city in the capital so that they won't get anything!" Zhao Mengjin said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, because the people who entered the city had nothing to do with their belongings, and they were mixed, there were those who violated the ban, and there were those who stole and disturbed the people, and the soldiers patrolling the city caught hundreds of displaced people who violated the curfew last night alone, and if so many people didn't have enough to eat, it was inevitable that something would happen!" Gao Yingsong is responsible for investigating traitors and robbers in the city and maintaining law and order, but now that the population is surging, it is very difficult to deal with these people because they cannot kill them at will.

What Gao Ti said is that some of the displaced people who have entered the city are now resettled in confiscated mansions, and even some military camps have been vacated to resettle the displaced people, but there are still a large number of displaced people who have to sleep on the streets. They set up homes everywhere, lit fires, washed their clothes, and dumped waste on the streets, which not only polluted the city's water sources, but also hindered transportation, hindered the movement of troops, and clashed with the people of the city from time to time, and even robbed the city of food. Arrangements should also be made as early as possible, otherwise the fire or epidemic will be out of control. Cai Wanyi added.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the matter of withdrawing the army as soon as possible should be considered at the moment, the strong enemy is on the side, and once there is chaos in the city, it will not be able to contain it!" Wen Tianxiang got up again and played.

"How many military dependents are there in the city now?" Zhao Yu nodded and asked.

"Your Majesty, there are currently more than 20,000 military dependents in the city, and judging from the current situation, the minister thinks that there will be an increase!" Cai Wanyi replied.

"Well, that's quite a lot!" Zhao Yu nodded, turned to Liu Zhu and said, "Liu Dutong, how many ships are there in Quanzhou at the moment?" ”

"Your Majesty, in addition to the warships, there are still more than 200 thousand-stone sea ships available for use in various ports of Quanzhou, and they will set sail back to Qiong immediately after loading the goods!" The main task of the navy is to protect the safety of Jinjiang and various ports, and to undertake escort tasks, he has become the captain of the transport brigade responsible for dispatching ships, and after a little thought, he said.

"And when will the rest of the ships return?" Zhao Hao asked again. Secretly calculating that with the current transportation capacity of ships, it is difficult to even retreat the entire army, let alone withdraw the troops.

"Your Majesty, there are more than 2,000 ships of the navy and heavy ships and the official ships confiscated in Quanzhou, the Pujia and the merchants of the Qianshi Sea, every 400 ships are organized into a team, and they sail every other day. Yoo so replied. They formed such a formation, one of the fleets was large, and those pirates did not dare to move without permission; In both cases, it is the time of the monsoon change, the weather is unpredictable, the fleet is too large, and in the event of losses, it will not be completely wiped out.

"Good!" Zhao Hao asked clearly, and said to Wen Tianxiang, "How many materials does Wen Xiang need to transfer now?" ”

"Your Majesty, in order to prevent the occurrence of a situation where one loss is lost, all materials are in mixed formations. Now the seized property and the urgently needed materials such as copper, iron, sulfite, medicinal materials and tung oil purchased have basically been shipped, and only horses and a small part of the grain are still waiting to be transported at the wharf, and it will take about two batches to complete the transfer! Wen Tianxiang was in charge of civil affairs, and he was very clear about these situations, and the emperor immediately replied as soon as he asked.

"If the journey goes smoothly, we make a round trip, and the loading and unloading time will take at least 12 days, and the first batch of returning ships will arrive in Quanzhou in four days, then we will have to stay in Quanzhou for more than 10 days before we can withdraw all our troops." Zhao Yu pondered for a moment and said. Although he has seen the list of seizures, but it is only a perceptual understanding, but the loading capacity of the two thousand stone ships is there, where is this robbery, it is clearly moving, but the situation is not optimistic, they will consume a large number of materials if they hold on for ten days, and Qiongzhou will soon enter the rainy season, and there is not much time left for them.

"What Your Majesty said is right, the minister thinks that the people should be evacuated as soon as possible to avoid change!" Wen Tianxiang nodded.

"At the moment, our army is winning a streak, if we suddenly let the people retreat to Qiongzhou, I am afraid that they will think that the imperial court is exiled them, which will cause dissatisfaction." We should strictly oppose the hasty evacuation of the people.

"It's not a retreat, it's not okay if you don't retreat, do you have to wait until the city is broken to leave?" Zhang Shijie was very dissatisfied with the ideas of the two.

"Don't worry, aren't you discussing?" Ying Jieyan was worried that Wen Tianxiang's violent temper would quarrel with him, so he hurriedly appeased.

"What the cardinal commander said is also reasonable, if it can't be arranged, when we evacuate, it will not only cause chaos, but also cause heavy casualties!" Zhao Yu also thinks that what Zhang Shijie said is reasonable, after the city is broken, he will flee in a hurry, and it will inevitably be chased and killed by the enemy, and it will be difficult to control the chaos.

"Why are you so lazy, is this tea so divided?" Just as everyone was thinking about how to respond, Wen Tianxiang's reprimand suddenly came.

"Zuo Xiang, this is not ......" Although His Majesty prepared tea, but it was in the discussion, and it was in front of His Majesty, no one was embarrassed to drink it, and Xiao Huangmen, who was in charge of delivering the tea, saw that the tea was cold, and hurriedly changed the tea for everyone, but Wen Tianxiang found that they were actually 'fooling' themselves, Xiao Huangmen was frightened, and hurriedly explained.

"When you see that Your Majesty is young, you will be lazy and perfunctory, what should you be guilty of?" Wen Tianxiang didn't wait for his explanation, and rebuked again.

"You ......" Zhao Yu was a little unhappy, these servants are serving their own subordinates, and there are still dogs in the world who look at their masters, and they reprimand them like this in front of themselves, doesn't this mean that Sang scolded Huai? Moreover, in his impression, the ministers are all respectful to the internal servants, and they want to see the emperor and have to seal red envelopes, why did they change the constitution when they came here!

"Official, don't worry about it!" Wang De pulled the sleeve of the little emperor and said.

"Huh?!" Zhao Yu was even more surprised, he changed the way he made tea, he knew it, and although Wang De's grade was low, he was his cronies after all, and he was disciplined, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"Your Majesty, there is a reason for this......" Wang De saw that His Majesty was still not angry, and hurriedly whispered a few words to him.

"How can I let him take my idea!" Zhao Yu frowned when he heard this, and understood what was going on, but he was still unhappy.

It turned out that the eunuchs of the Great Song Dynasty were most afraid of the prime minister, and this was due to historical reasons. One is the system, the family law formulated by Taizu is there, the "Old Code of the Official System" stipulates: "The dynasty punished the eunuchs of the five dynasties of the Tang Dynasty for their arrogance, did not make the guards general, interfered in political affairs, but only devoted to their own duties." "What is the duty of a eunuch? Serve the emperor and the harem women well, this is his duty. The prime minister of the Song Dynasty was known as "everything is unified", the power was very great, the emperor could not cover it, the eunuchs could not do their own work, and the prime minister reprimanded him as a matter of course.

According to the collective responsibility system of the Song Dynasty, the head of the Privy Council is only the prime minister's staff deputy, and the decision-making power is still in the hands of the prime minister. In the final analysis, if a eunuch wants to soar, it is impossible without the help of the prime minister. For example, Tong Guan and his ilk, if it weren't for Cai Jing and other prime ministers who wanted to use them and connive at them, how could they make waves?

The third is that the power to punish eunuchs is also in the hands of the prime minister, and if the eunuchs are excessive, they will be treated, and if they have work, they will be moved, or rewarded or punished, all in the prime minister's happiness or displeasure. From this, Zhao Hao also came to a truth, if there is a mouse at home, not only must the system be strictly guarded, but it is also necessary to raise one or more old cats. The rule of law and the rule of man complement each other, and there are heavy punches under deterrence, and the rat-like cow can't get up, even if the cow gets up with the mouse, bad luck will come soon.

"Don't be annoyed, this is what I mean!" Zhao Hao originally had a hateful and sympathetic attitude towards these attendants, but he lived with them every day, and felt that they were even more pitiful when he had more contact, so he rarely reprimanded them. But Wen Tianxiang didn't ask about it, so he reprimanded endlessly, why didn't he care...... (To be continued.) )
