At the end of this twist, Wang Ju reminded one more thing.

In the summer, it began to rain in the north, and although the autumn harvest was lost, it was a good thing.

However, there are two things to be aware of, this drought is very severe, and the ground is cracked in the sun in many places. Including the embankment of the Yellow River, which was also sunburned for many days. Then the rain comes suddenly, and it will be prone to problems.

Don't want the people to go home in front of them, and then the Yellow River bursts the embankment, and the people will cry bitterly.

The second thing is that the drought has not ended, on the contrary, it has gradually shifted to the Huai River and the Yangtze River. Don't ask if there is no drought in the southeast, except for some underwater polders, or paddy fields near the river, if it does not rain for a long time, a large area of cultivated land in the southeast will also be affected by the drought.

It is necessary to take precautions and first raise some grain and grass from the south road of Bashu Jinghu and transport it to the southeast.

Even if the drought is not severe, it can be transferred to Hebei to provide relief to the victims.

At this time, you can't plan to waste, human life is at stake!

"There will be a drought in the southeast, too?" Zhao Ji thought with a headache.

The southeast refers to the Liangzhejiang Road, where is the big granary and money warehouse of the Song Dynasty.

This was the first fold, including the books in a thick paper bag, and then it came to Zhao Ji to ask. It was the second cantata, in the second paper bag.

Wang Ju first explained the reason for the migration of the people.

Earlier, Wang Ju's attention and reminder that some seafarers turned to the southeast of the South China Sea with wind drills. As Wang Ju said.

Because the people here are ignorant and ignorant, they don't know the preciousness of spice jade coral, which of course means that there is a huge profit margin.

However, words do not make sense. And most of the people are very fierce. There are even many tribes that like to eat human flesh. In their hands, they were immediately swallowed alive by these indigenous people. The distance is very far, and if it is far away, some supply points will be arranged on the road. These supply points must have safe havens and places where crops can be grown. One is to provide emergency relief and supplies to the fleet, and the other is to build some lighthouses to indicate the shipping lane.

Especially now at the end of the fairway. Where there is a large piece of land, it seems to be three times the size of the Song Dynasty. And the climate is very similar, only because it is in the southern hemisphere, so the seasons are exactly the opposite. It doesn't matter what season is, the main thing is that the climate is similar, which means that it is easy for people to survive.

Then they discovered large deposits of coral reefs, jade mines, and copper and iron ore.

Whether it is mining, planting, trading, or defending against the harm of local natives, a large number of people are needed. That could only be migrated from the Song Dynasty to the people.

It happened that Wang Ju went to Quanzhou, and these seafarers gave feedback one by one, and Wang Ju expressed his support.

Now some people have migrated. Although there are many households, not all of them have gone. Some families went to one person, and some families went to two people. How many people Wang Ju didn't say.

Not to mention that the continent is three times the size of the Song Dynasty, there are several large islands equivalent to the area of one or several roads in the Song Dynasty, and there are dozens of islands equivalent to the size of a state in the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, the people now are very precious to these seafarers, and they don't have to worry about being treated.

Wang Ju also said that in addition to small sea boats and fishing boats, there are more than 380 medium and large sea vessels with more than 1,000 materials registered in Quanzhou, with a total of more than 920 ship owners.

There are more owners than boats because many of the boats are built in partnerships.

Wang Ju supported them and guided them, so that many ship owners assisted Wang Ju in making this righteous deed. However, these shipowners are not only from Quanzhou, but also from Guangzhou and Hangzhou.

What Wang Ju said is basically true, and it can only be said that some deliberately did not say it, for example, among so many ship owners, there are actually many empty households, and there are no zài household owners! What else should I do? and the spit will drown him.

It is true that some of the shipowners who were stained with light assisted Wang Ju in making this righteous act, but it was mainly the ten merchants of Yanzhou and Wang Ju's fleet. This cannot be said.

Otherwise, this wealth will be remembered, otherwise this righteous act will be said to buy the hearts of the people, and Zhao Ji is also a suspicious person.

Then Wang Ju also deliberately painted a picture of the sea.

There are a lot of errors in this chart, after all, the official operation time is not too long, but the accuracy rate can be close to seventy, and the general direction is drawn. And the places where these migrants were resettled were drawn. The charts are large, but these areas of settlement are so small that they are barely visible.

In the end, Wang Jucai expressed his thoughts.

Immigration is not necessarily a bad thing, but many scholars do not understand it, and it will inevitably lead to some unnecessary controversy.

If the imperial court really agrees, in order to avoid unnecessary disputes, please be sure to put forward a few requirements, the first must be in accordance with the "harsh" conditions of Wang Ju and the maritime merchants.

Second, the people who moved this time were the people of Jingdong Road and Hebei Road, and there would be more disputes, so they had to be households below the sixth grade to agree to their migration.

The Song Dynasty began to divide only five levels of households, but the income of each person in the households below the fifth class was very different, so it was later divided into five levels, from five to nine levels, and the fifth class households also had some property and some self-reserved land. However, starting from the sixth-class households, they are actually extremely poor, and it is difficult for them to contribute taxes to the state, and even those from the seventh-class households and below, even in normal times, the state has to subsidize them. These people have migrated, and the controversy will be a little less. After all, they can not contribute much in taxes, and this migration, in turn, gives them a way to live.

And the time is also just right, with the boat to the other side, it is spring over there, Zhao Ji saw this, said headache, because the Song Dynasty is autumn here.

Then it is just in time for planting.

These people are gone, and the country has lost some of the disaster relief pressure.

Thirdly, the seafarers are in great need of the people, but they all have a certain amount of wealth in their hands.

Therefore, for every household that migrates, let them pay twenty taels, or the equivalent of twenty taels, in advance to their relatives and friends. So that their relatives and friends can use the money to go back and rebuild their homes. Then it is equivalent to migrating one family of people, saving two families, and further decomposing the burden of the imperial court. Let the people recover from the great calamity.

Zhao Ji looked at the folding. I thought to myself. That's not a big deal.

After all, these maritime merchants are really good this time, so much food, and it was transported at a high cost, and they took the initiative to relieve the victims.

Moreover, the conditions set by Wang Ju are already very harsh, and now the imperial court is not grateful, and in turn asks them to pay twenty yuan, which is a bit excessive.

In fact, Wang Ju has the right to do good deeds.

And in this way. He was also cleared of suspicion. Some people in the Song Dynasty were smart people, and I believe that some people already suspected him, but there was no accurate evidence, and the second was that he was in Quanzhou, and he couldn't offend him. Otherwise, someone would have been impeached long ago.

After reading it, Zhao Ji summoned the important ministers to the Yanhe Hall to discuss.

After everyone watched it, they also knew that the person Wang Ju was attacking was Sima Guang, and the two of them were also life and death rivals.

But I have to admit that what Wang Ju said is reasonable, don't look at the 20,000 families who have migrated on the other side of Fujian Road, which is eye-catching. In fact, the catastrophe came. Those who starve to death directly, those who sell their sons and daughters. The wives were separated, directly or indirectly, and I don't know how many people died.

Sima Guang only attacked and changed the law, what relief measures can be proposed? The more ferocious Lu Huiqing is on the throne, isn't it raining yet?

However, because of Wang Ju's persuasion, at least one million victims survived. If these victims are alive, the state can transfer food to other victims.

In fact, because of this good deed, the number of people rescued may far exceed the number of people who migrated from Quanzhou.

No matter how bad Wang Ju's temper is, he has to admit that he cares about the people very much, at least in this regard, few officials can match. It probably has something to do with the poverty he lived in when he was a teenager.

But in the hands of the emperor, it was an edict.

The edict agreed to openly move the people overseas?

So these bigwigs expressed their embarrassment one by one.

After deliberating for a long time, an order was finally made, not the sixth-class households, but the really destitute people below the seventh-class households, to let them move. At the same time, this twenty runs is a little too much, and it looks like the court sells people. Therefore, in another way, for each household that moved away, a maritime merchant was allowed to donate ten pieces of money, but it was not handed over to these relatives and friends, but to the imperial court, so as to help more victims. And it was in the form of an edict issued to Michigan.

Everyone just needs to understand it, and they can't make an explicit edict......

But even this edict was agreed to for two reasons.

First, there are only more than 100 sea ships in Mizhou Port, and how many people can be loaded by them?

Indeed, when the autumn wind finally rose, these ships left the port of Mizhou, taking with them more than 26,000 households and less than 80,000 people. Although the ship is large, it still has to carry cargo, and there is no way to take more people away.

Even so, some ministers feel inappropriate.

In fact, they wanted to make a mistake, and the edict made further restrictions, it was the people below the seventh class, even if there were no disasters for these people, what could the court expect them to do?

If we can take away 260,000 households this time, then we can take away half of the extremely poor households in two roads, and all state capitals will be able to govern the localities in the future. If we want to reduce the shortage of land and merger, it is not 260,000 households, but 500,000 or 700,000 households, so as to solve the crisis of land and annexation.

Although it pained some ministers, another piece of good news arrived. When the autumn wind came, the ships that went to Runju Port first returned from the side of Goryeo, the Japanese kingdom, and the speed was so fast that everyone did not expect.

It's just that there isn't much food brought.

In fact, you can also understand the reason by looking at the records of various city companies.

The imported goods of the Song Dynasty, including all kinds of spices, treasures, medicinal herbs, cotton cloth, Goryeo silk, Goryeo secret color (celadon), Korean ginseng, Japanese knife and fan, all kinds of wood and wood, sulfur, iron, leather goods, tendons, glass, basically that's all.

There are many exports, such as ceramics, lacquerware, silk, cloth, books, all kinds of gold, silver, copper, iron and tin, and related products, copper coins, toys, combs, fans, umbrellas, musical instruments and other handicrafts, medicinal materials, tea, sugar, preserved fruits, wine, rice, salt, ...... Most things can be sold anyway, but foreign countries are poor and can't afford them, or there aren't enough goods to trade.

So there was a situation where copper coins were flowing out.

The Song Dynasty was rich, so the Song Dynasty copper coins dominated the city, replacing the local copper coins, and became the hard currency of the Wa Kingdom, Goryeo, Cochin and the South China Sea countries, and some countries, including the Wa Kingdom, did not let the Song money enter in order to put an end to this situation, but because the quality of the copper coins in their own countries was not up to standard. Standards vary. The result was a monetary confusion. The economy is shrinking. As a result, we had to let go of the influx of Song money, so much so that some people lamented that "our country is still involved in the whirlpool of the Song money economy." In fact, the Song Dynasty wished that the money they had minted would work. This currency outflow made the Song Dynasty even more miserable.

But why is there sake rice salt?

Sake refers to high-end sake, which is also sold to the Wakoku and Goryeo countries.

Salt is some salt-deficient areas, although salt was very expensive in the Song Dynasty, but taking advantage of sea ships, salt can also be exchanged for more goods.

This rice refers to Goryeo and Wa countries, two countries with many mountains and few people. Food is very tight, and in the event of a disaster, food prices rise even faster. Of course, this creates a transaction.

So, not much food was brought back from these two countries.

Moreover, drought began to occur in the southeast, so they poured into Hangzhou to unload and hand over to the government to deal with.

At the same time, a batch of grain was also transported from Jinghu Road and Bashu down the Yangtze River to the southeast. It's a bit costly, but it comes at the right time. In Changzhou, Runzhou, there has also been a very severe drought since autumn.

So much so that some ministers who knew the truth sighed. Wang Ju, this kid is like a god.

There is another thing that also proves Wang Ju's ability to do things.

It rained, but it didn't rain much, and the drought in the north was not completely lifted.

However, the embankment was flooded under the sun, and finally one of the embankments collapsed. But because the rain is not heavy, the river flood is not big.

Therefore, Wen Yanbo wrote in the recital: "The river overflows and destroys the people's fields, and the most are 60 villages, and the households are 7,000, and the few are 9 villages, and the households are 4,600, and they are willing to pay taxes." ”

But Wen Yanbo exaggerated.

This is the boundary of the Daimyo's Mansion, the terrain is flat, so maybe there are more than 4,600 households in the nine villages? There are some large villages that do have 500 households, but such large villages are very rare in the Song Dynasty, even if there are large villages on the border, more than 500 households in a state can be counted in a slap. Besides, it's nine villages together.

Besides, did 17,000 households in more than 60 villages be affected, or 4,600 households in 9 villages? You can't make such a big mistake.

Zhao Ji didn't care too much, since he was affected by the disaster, then he should pay taxes.

However, Wen Yanbo's intention was not to drink, not to exempt the affected people, but to Cheng Fang.

Cheng Fang made the mistake of being strict, there was a flood, and he did not report it to the imperial court.

Zhao Ji asked the officials of the capital water supervision to question Cheng Fang, and Wen Yanbo even used his power to make all kinds of interrogations against Cheng Fang.

If history does not change, in fact, during the time of Song Shenzong, the fastest increase in population was not in Xining, but in Yuanfeng. The reason is very simple, it was Wang Anshi who implemented the farmland water conservancy law, from all kinds of water conservancy in Hebei to Jiangdong Wei in the south, and their appearance fed more people.

In Hebei, Cheng Fang has to take half of the credit.

However, because Cheng Fang is a eunuch and does not follow Wen Yanbo, Han Qi and others, he has now added a grievance out of thin air, that is, Wang Ju is very close to him, and as a result, all kinds of slander.

Under the leadership of Wen Yanbo, countless scholars and doctors frantically attacked Cheng Fang, and he died of grief two years ahead of schedule......

But the old literary affairs are bigger, it's not that they don't report it, the time has not come!

The second reason is that the Khitan came to blackmail.

The seven-year drought in Xining can be ranked in the entire history of China.

If the Liao State can express some goodwill, even if it sends an envoy to condole, maybe Zhao Ji will not be so resentful, so that he will leave a will, who can recover Yanyun and appoint a king with a different surname.

But the Liao State did not, and when it saw the great drought in the Song Dynasty, it immediately sent an envoy to the Song Dynasty and said to Zhao Ji, our two countries should renegotiate the border.

Zhao Ji was immediately blindsided.

He thought of what Wang Ju said in the chapter again, the Song and Liao countries have not been at war for a long time, the border people are relaxed, the border army cannot fight, and even some forts are about to be abandoned. Once there is a change, the capital is in danger. Therefore, it is necessary to train a strong forbidden army, as well as forbidden cavalry, and then set up a border army in the east of Hebei Hedong as appropriate.

Sure enough, it came.

Now not only is the border relaxed, but the people are fleeing the famine, and the whole Hebei is in chaos.

Think about what the consequences will be if the Liao State takes the opportunity to invade at this time?

Therefore, he asked Liu Chen and Lü Dazhong to accompany Xiao Xi, the envoy of Liao, to the border to negotiate, and when Liu Lülin left the capital, he said with shame and indignation: "The Liao side is full of rough people, and if the reason doesn't make sense, it will be rude." Give them what they want. ”

It means that as long as you can stabilize the Liao State and not send troops, even if you cede some land moderately, I will not blame you!

Regardless of whether history changes or not, this blackmail of the Liao State is actually a blackmail that destroys the nature of the country, and it has repeatedly taken advantage of the difficulties of our Great Song Dynasty to come over to blackmail.

Anyway, if your Liao State does not abide by the promise, then why do we have to keep the promise in the Song Dynasty, once our Great Song Dynasty is strong, why can't we tear up the treaty and send troops to your Liao State!

Well, if history doesn't change, the Maritime Alliance is coming......

However, Zhao Ji sent the wrong person this time, he didn't expect that these two people loved Da Song too much, and they didn't even want their lives, it was these two people who didn't want to die, and Han Qi quickly fell off the line before he died. (To be continued......)
