Chapter 1178 - Accepting Displaced People as a Box Army According to the Usual Practice (First Shift)

Chapter 1178

"This is also ......" Several court bigwigs next to him all sighed in unison, not to mention the disaster in the area of Gyeonggi Road, even if there is a disaster in the neighboring roads, there will be a lot of people who have lost their homes and are unwilling to lose their freedom to become homeless, and go to Bianliang, the capital of Beijing, to make a living.

After all, this is the imperial capital, and the chance of survival is relatively large, and inside and outside Bianliang City, nowadays, at least nearly half of the people are non-farmers, of course, nearly half of the non-agricultural people, mainly based on industry and commerce.

However, not everyone can find their own way of survival in Bianliang, let alone want to enter various workshops, which requires technology, and without technology, there is no food.

"It seems that this time, I'm afraid we still need to do it according to the past practice, I don't know what you think?" After a whispered discussion, Jia Yi narrowed his eyes and suddenly raised his voice and said.

"The way to do it in the past ......" Several important ministers were slightly stunned, and their eyes lit up, but soon they all subconsciously fell on the body of Zhao Xu, the son of heaven.

"Why, don't you already have a good suggestion? Let's hear about it. Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, who was whispering to Su Dongpo at the imperial case, noticed the abnormality of these ministers, raised his eyebrows and asked.

Jia Yi stepped forward and saluted. "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that if a large number of displaced people flee to Beijing, then, according to the usual practice, the Privy Council, the Ministry of War, the Guards Mahan Division, the Guards Infantry Division and other divisions should preside over the acceptance of the displaced people as the van army."

"No!" At this time, Zhang Dian next to him did not hesitate to stand up and strongly object. "My Great Song Dynasty has a long history of redundant troops, but fortunately, the North Shaanxi Road newly occupied the land of Liuzhou, and filled the North Shaanxi Road with hundreds of thousands of Xiang troops, which not only made my Great Song Dynasty reduce a large number of ineffective Xiang troops."

"It also allows me to save millions of military expenses every year, so that the court will no longer be able to make ends meet. But if the displaced people are incorporated into the Xiang Army, wouldn't they be on the old road again?! ”

"Master Zhang, having said that, if the court doesn't do this, and let the displaced people scatter in the wilderness, there will be trouble, and at that time, I don't know how much food it will cost." An old party boss next to him couldn't help but snort and sneered.

Zhang Dun snorted and snorted back without showing weakness. "That means that the local officials have not fulfilled their duties, so they will let those people scatter."

"Since the court has already drawn up a strategy since last year, and no new army will be formed, how can it change course so easily?

What's more, although a large number of people in Weizhou and Huazhou have suffered disasters, they are all people who were born and raised in Si, as long as the local government does its best, and the court provides money and food, can it still be appeased? ”

"How can a dozen people who have been affected by the disaster be so easily appeased?"

The two sides began to argue, although the new party is the only one, but the problem is that this old driver is quick to think and his mouth is also very sharp, and he still debates loudly and eloquently against several old party bigwigs alone, and does not fall behind at all.

And the Son of Heaven also fell into a deep groan, and the argument between the two sides naturally fell into the ears of Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, who agreed with Zhang Dan's words the most.

But the problem lies in the difficulty, and the ability of those local officials to perform their duties and govern is really unrelenting.

Su Dongpo stroked his long beard and fell into a deep groan. If the scope of the disaster is not so large, and the people affected by the disaster are not so many, then, with the full cooperation of the court and the local government, the consequences and impact of this disaster should be dealt with smoothly.

However, this is a disaster with a wide range of impact and impact, and if it is not handled properly, then perhaps it will not only be a matter of resettlement of displaced people, but in the near future, it is necessary to consider whether it is necessary to mobilize officers and soldiers to quell the rebellion.

After all, once those people who have lost their homes and have no source of livelihood are bewitched and aroused anger against the government and the court, then it will inevitably cause great turmoil.

After all, in the world, there are many people with ulterior motives and different aspirations.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the only plan for today is to strictly order the local officials to make every effort to relieve the disaster and appease the people, as for other issues, they are not what needs to be considered at present......" Su Dongpo cleared his throat and stood up and saluted respectfully to the Son of Heaven.

Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, raised his eyebrows, Su Dongpo's method was simply making peace with the mud, but in front of him, it was a helpless choice before there was no mature idea and method.

"Your Majesty, by all means, the minister thinks that in addition to ordering the officials to do their best to provide disaster relief, they also need the support of the court, so that the local officials can also plan a countermeasure." Liu Anshi stood up and objected.

"Well said, if the court had made this attitude clear earlier, wouldn't it have made those local officials who were already eager to do more than less slack off in their administration? They will definitely try to throw the biggest trouble at the court. Zhang Dian smiled coldly, and said a word mercilessly.

"You, Master Zhang, don't spew blood."

"Zhang doesn't have that kind of mind, it's just a matter of facts, if Lord Liu thinks what Zhang said is wrong, then please ask Lord Liu. Why is it that in some places, no matter how big or small the disaster is, few people who have been affected by the disaster have become displaced people and scattered in the wilderness. And in some places, even if the impact is not significant, a large number of people will lose their homes and be displaced? ”

"Doesn't this just show that this has a lot to do with the ability of local officials themselves and whether they are responsible enough?"

"Whenever a disaster occurs, some officials do not think about how to appease the people and deal with the disaster, but how to profit from it and bully the subordinates ......."

"Master Zhang, what do you mean by this? Do you think that in the Song Dynasty and the opposition, you alone are the only honest and honest ministers? ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Imperial Front, and we are discussing the handling of the disaster for the people of Huazhou and Weizhou, not for you to attack each other here." Su Dongpo saw that Zhao Xu's face was getting darker and darker, so he cleared his throat and stood up and shouted.

A cadre of important ministers of the court asked Zhao Xu, the son of heaven, with a look of indignation.

"I understand very well that all of you are speaking for the country, but, as Zhang Qing said, among the local officials, some are very selfish, and some are incompetent......"

"This time, the seven counties of the two states were affected by the disaster, and the scope was very large, I felt that Su Qing was reasonable, and asked the officials of the seven counties of the two states such as Huazhou and Weizhou to make every effort to treat and appease the people, so as not to cause the epidemic to ...... after the disaster."

Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, looked at the officials who left, leaned on the back of the chair weakly, raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. Although he suppressed the dispute between the two sides, he also ordered the Imperial Historian to send more Imperial Historians to the affected places to inspect and supervise the disaster relief work.
