Chapter 41 Disaster Relief

Zhao Changji, who was at the bottom of the food chain of the Nanyang Military Mansion, was ruthless in the north.

Jiang Yuelin had no better way, so he could only listen to Zhao Shizhen's idea to separate the people first, and dozens or hundreds of people from the Weixia Banner Army were brought to the surrounding guards, and the progress was much faster than he imagined, and more than 20,000 people were separated in just half a day.

After locking up a few scoundrels who were unwilling to leave the customs and tried to lead the people to shout, even if the other people were a little indignant, they didn't want to take so much to the porridge shacks under the jurisdiction of thousands of households.

Zhao Changji inherited Chen Mu's people-oriented thoughts, and asked Jiang Yuelin to give orders to the guards, and let the banner army collect wood to build houses, bonfires, and soup kitchens for the people, who would care about the righteous indignation for others.

The letter was sent to Beijing and then sent back, Zhang Juzheng naturally had the unshirkable responsibility, not only to Zhao Shizhen to escort the silver two roads on the way to act cheaply, so that the power to say big or small can be big, but also to focus on the letter to let him not be soft when he should start.

The middle-aged god is much more ruthless than Zhao Shizhen, a scholar, and he is so kept-eyed, whoever dares to provoke the people to unrest is the life-and-death enemy of the emperor's first assistant.

Xu Jue is interesting, he can't raise his mind about this kind of thing, and no matter how alarmist Zhao Shizhen said in the letter, it is useless.

The family sent a thousand households in Jinyi who was in charge of the inspection, and asked Zhao Shizhen to pass a letter to the Nanyang Military Government, and next year's New Year's Lantern Market borrowed Chen Shuai's house for half a month.

Zhao Shizhen first pondered that he couldn't make a decision for Chen Mu, and then he pondered the taste, although Chen Mu's mansion in Jingshi was rented out empty every Chinese New Year, and the lamp market was sometimes a hundred taels a day, but Xu Jue may not really want to borrow Chen Mu's house.

He wanted to tell himself that he was not Chen Shuai, but just Chen Shuai's staff, and he was not worthy of writing to him to ask him to do something.

It doesn't matter what his purpose is, as long as he sends people, Zhao Shizhen will not be aggrieved at all, things can be done well, does his face in Beijing matter?

It doesn't matter at all, our roots are in Nanyang!

I can't come to Jingshi a few times in my life, and I want to do that.

As soon as the victims left, as soon as the road opened, thousands of households in brocade clothes went first, and dozens of knights and guards and lieutenants sprinkled out, not doing anything else, looking for the county and county honors, and those who could make out the black accounts of the county orders would first get the black accounts of the county orders, and those who made the black accounts of the county orders would go to check the grain merchants in the county.

One or two days of hard work, along the way, all the counties, post houses all prepare food, every ten miles there must be porridge sheds, all the way through the Xuanfu to Datong.

When Zhao Shizhen arrived in Datong, in addition to 130,000 taels of silver, there were more than 70,000 stone grains.

The extra ones are all confiscated, not only Zhao Shizhen is checking and copying, but Wu Dui, the governor of Xuanfu, is also doing the same thing as him, and Zhao Shizhen's side door just helped Wu Dui a lot.

After all, even if Wu Dui is the governor, he doesn't have a brocade guard.

Compared with the governor, many people are actually much more afraid of the Jinyi Wei General Banner, especially when this general flag is in charge of the inspection.

When Zhao Shizhen entered the Xuanfu, Wu Dui issued an order, and Jiang Yuelin began to order the flag army to escort along the way, and hundreds or thousands of people returned to the township one after another, and a porridge shed every ten miles could also calm the people's hearts.

At first, Zhao Shizhen was still a little crooked, wondering if he could let some of the victims go to Xinming because of the disaster in Shanxi, since they had already left their hometowns, why not go farther.

As far as Chen Mu said, the population that Xinming can accommodate far exceeds the two or three thousand people under Yang Zhaolong's hands today, and a few thousand people are not obvious at all on Xinming Island.

He didn't expect that these literati who were born as serious scholars would have great ability in governing politics, natural disasters?

"Hahaha! Chang Ji is worthy of being Chen Shuai's subordinates, and the most difficult thing for disaster relief has been done by you! ”

On the side of the porridge shed road, Wu Dui, who was accompanied by officials, let out a hearty laugh, he greeted Zhao Shizhen's silver team, and said: "The only thing to do is to win people and judge households, and now that the people of each county have been separated by Changji, the rest of the matter will be handed over to the old man and Mr. Fan Xi, the governor of Datong." ”

Xuanfu Datong has been connected into a piece, Datong blocked the west, the people to the east to become homeless, set up a card on the road, check Dingkou, in Wu Dui's words, is the disaster spread widely, a county can not support people, need to let the homeless people eat.

One back and forth can give Datong counties enough time to prepare for disaster relief.

"Datong sent people to expedite the message yesterday, and the county officials over there are ready to receive the displaced people, and the local poorer people will give loans, and the poorer people will give money, and these people who have been forced to leave their hometowns are the poorest, and they will give rice."

"The county government borrowed money from large households and grain merchants to buy rice, and the grain prices in the disaster-stricken counties have subsided, so there is no need to exercise expedient methods like Changji, and the big grain merchants are also the people."

In fact, in Wu Dui's view, Zhao Shizhen did not have a systematic disaster relief method, and only used drastic means to do extraordinary things, and even purposefully broke down the door to arrest and lure grain merchants to break the law and forcibly requisition grain—this is an absolute lazy policy.

"Now that the imperial court has allocated disaster relief money, the land of Datong Xuanfu can be used to build water conservancy and loan cattle to help the people, and the rest is not a big deal." Wu Dui was tired these days, visited the counties under his rule, shook his head and said: "During the disaster, Xuanda has issued a decree prohibiting the people from extinct fishing, robbery and theft, obstruction of the market, price hikes, slaughtering cattle, and persuading people to become monks and nuns. ”

"Soldiers and soldiers are being dispatched everywhere, prisoners in all counties are released to cook porridge to make coffins, the poor who are curing need Tommy, the sick poor need medicine, the dying poor need thick porridge, and abandoned children need to be adopted, this catastrophe can be passed!"

Zhao Shizhen listened to Wu Dui's careful explanation of the disaster relief methods in different categories, and immediately thanked him, he knew very well why Wu Dui said this to him.

Wu Dui was teaching him how to provide disaster relief as the governor of a province, not by his extraordinary means, but by more 'orthodox and scientific' disaster relief methods, neither by the imperial court aimlessly allocating funds to sprinkle silver, nor by ignoring the affected areas, but by trying to use the silver where it should be used at the least cost to the government.

"Students are taught, thank you Mr. Huanzhou!"

Zhao Shizhen thanked Wu Dui, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, compared with the disaster relief in the north, Chen Mu encountered typhoons in Luzon every time in the early years, and the disaster response methods could be described as stupid, and it was only after the imperial court sent Jinshi to Luzon to serve as the prefect, but they did not pay attention to how those Jinshi prefects provided disaster relief when they were in Luzon.

But Zhao Shizhen had a good point, inheriting the fine tradition of the Nanyang Military Government, and when he was free, he compiled a record of Wu Dui's disaster relief methods and sent someone to teleport to Minduluo Island.

Chen Mu is the best at putting all this into an order, and after the book is written, it is formulated, and others only need to abide by it.

"Mr. said about the construction of water conservancy, the Nanyang Military Mansion some time ago there was a new hand pressure pump, the old mansion has a composition, in the next thought that the Xuanfu Ordnance Bureau can be trial-built, Xing may solve the urgent need. In addition, there are steamers, and there are woolen mills in the land of Xuanda, and there are more convenient manufacturing facilities of the Ordnance Bureau, and the benefits of coal abundance, which can shine brightly. ”

Zhao Shizhen has not forgotten that the earliest large-scale employment factory in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to Guangdong, is the Xuanfu where Chen Mu once worked!./14_14088/
