As the saying goes, happy things pass by in a flash, but unhappiness stays with you forever.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Mingqi came to the limelight, and by the way made King Shou famous, Emperor Jinghe also felt quite worried about happiness.
First of all, several of King Shou's lecturers resigned one after another, claiming that they were unable and unqualified to teach a wise man like King Shou who was proficient in the saint's articles.
Of course the emperor rushed to retain him.
He knew the origin of this "disciple of the saint".
It was whipped out!
In terms of real knowledge of various kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, King Shou is still very lacking.
If these teachers don¡¯t teach him, it is estimated that Shou Wang will soon fall into the panic of being taught by Liu Mingqi and shout for help.
It is still necessary to relax and relax children's education.
But huge pressure soon followed.
Heavy snow disaster!
Super snow disaster!
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, heavy snowfalls in the six provinces were still continuing and getting more intense.
News one by one was collected through flying pigeons, and the imperial court finally confirmed the fact of the severe snow disaster in six provinces.
Even in the modern era of another world, heavy snow disasters will cause huge social problems, let alone in ancient times.
Originally, most of the court officials would take a break until after the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but at this time they had to come on duty to discuss how to provide disaster relief.
Fortunately, the money in Emperor Jinghe's hands had increased by fifteen million taels at this time. Everyone was very happy about such a huge windfall, or at least felt a lot more at ease.
The most important thing in disaster relief is food, just like when there is a major disaster in later generations, tens of millions of packages of instant noodles must be transported to the disaster area.
As long as people have food, most of their emotions can be controlled.
Like our Ming Dynasty, Shaanxi has been plagued by banditry for decades. Isn¡¯t it because there is no food to eat?
¡° Try giving each person a hundred catties of grain, and they will be able to stabilize immediately.
"It's a pity that my Ming Dynasty has no food and money, the officials and businessmen are unscrupulous and immoral, and I also met a crazy and tossing emperor, so I sang a sad song.
What the Dakang court did well was that as early as late December, it had already rushed six hundred miles to the south of the Yangtze River at all costs, and conveyed the decree to the governor of Jiangnan Liu Renhuai.
Although carrier pigeons were used to convey news, formal orders and decrees issued by the imperial court were always conveyed by stagecoach horses.
Because this is formal, it is less likely to cause accidents, and it is less likely to be confused by people who are interested.
"Otherwise, under the guise of the imperial court, some people use flying pigeons to pass messages to local officials for their own benefit, so what's the difference?"
There may be people who dare to attack the couriers at the inn, but is it possible for you to ask them to forge a court document and an imperial edict?
"These are special papers, and they are certified by strict seals. It is almost impossible for people to achieve such good craftsmanship.
In the six-hundred-mile rush, the imperial edict was continuously beaten and delivered, and it took five days to rush from the capital to Hangzhou and arrive at the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion.
By now, Liu Renhuai should have been actively preparing food to be shipped to the four nearby disaster-stricken provinces.
To the east of Zhejiang are Anhui and Jiangxi, and to the east of these two provinces are Hunan and Hubei. These four provinces, plus the Gyeonggi region, are the hinterland of Dakang.
Transporting grain from Zhejiang to these four provinces is obviously the most cost-effective.
If there is a waterway, you can first reach the Gyeonggi area through the Grand Canal, and then go south from the Gyeonggi area directly to Hubei. This is faster than going from Zhejiang to Hubei.
But it¡¯s only the first day of the first month of the year, and the Grand Canal is in the dry season. Transportation has basically come to a standstill, and it¡¯s not as fast as the land route.
¡° Moreover, Zhejiang and Jiangsu were not affected by the disaster at all. The roads are very smooth and are most suitable as the main road arteries for disaster relief.
Speaking of which, during this year, the busiest person in the world must be the emperor.
But the person ranked second was not the Prime Minister Cao Yi, nor the extremely busy Yin Miao Yan of the Imperial Palace, but the Governor of Jiangnan Liu Renhuai.
The position of Governor of Jiangnan carries many responsibilities and faces many environments.
Otherwise, there would be no saying that "the successful governor of Jiangnan must be the elder".
???????????????????????????????????¡ªBecause there is no smell of fireworks at all.
¡°Besides, most of the personnel in the border army must be selected locally.
"If you send people from Sichuan to fight on the border of Xikang, even if the Sichuan people are good at fighting, I'm afraid they won't fight so hard, right?"
It would be different if the Xikang people were to defend the city themselves.
Behind me are my wife, children, parents, and my brothers and sisters. Can I withdraw? Do I dare to retreat?
So this is why the three northwest provinces and Liaoning must have a population.
Therefore, among the more than two million people in Xikang Province, at least one-third are family members of the border troops, and they all eat their military rations.
"My men are working hard outside to guard the frontier, but you don't even feed my family back there. What do you think the frontier soldiers will think?"
The world has been suffering from Qin for a long time!
Maybe they will collude with Tibet or the Uighur tribe and rebel.
Therefore, no matter how difficult it was for the imperial court these years, it never transferred a single grain from Sichuan.
Even though the locust plague in the two lakes last year was so severe and tragic, the imperial court also mobilized grain from the south of the Yangtze River at the expense of the near and distant.
Now it is Sichuan¡¯s turn to be affected by the disaster, and it is natural that we must do our best to rescue.
Nangong Ji¡¯s statement received general agreement from the ministers present.
However, Feng Yuqiang, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, had different details: "Bran must be exchanged, but when transported to border areas, it must not be all bran. The soldiers will be disappointed half grain and half bran!" "
"Well, I agree with Master Feng's words." Vice Prime Minister Ma Haoqiu said: "The more times like this, the more important it is to calm their panic. Relying on bran alone can only save lives. Where can we fight?"
Look!
This is the difference.
Last year, when the Lianghu area was hit by a disaster, the ministers all agreed with Liu Mingqi¡¯s bad idea to use bran porridge to save people, so that people could buy cheaper bran for cooking and save their lives.
Including Liu Renhuai¡¯s side now, bran must account for the vast majority. He will give out as much bran as there is bran. It is important to save his life.
But things are different in border areas.
They have to protect the border and fight against the ferocious grassland tribes.
"Drinking bran porridge every day is like asking them to eat potatoes and sweet potatoes every day. Their whole body will be weak and they have no strength at all. How can they beat a strong enemy?"
This is just like me at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Why was the combat effectiveness so poor?
¡°Go and look at the photos that foreigners took of Qing soldiers at that time. They are the same height and body as today¡¯s twelve or thirteen-year-old children. Can such soldiers fight in a war?
??Similarly, when the Japanese pirates invaded again, even the Chinese army was small and weak. How could they fight with the beasts?
Not to mention that the weapons are lagging behind, one person can beat four or five of us in terms of physical fitness.
But in the 21st century, how do you compare our physical fitness with that of Asians?
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Beat 10 of them. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Beat?two or three of them with one person is no problem.
This is the importance of eating and nutrition.
¡°The Song and Ming Dynasties perished on this, and the sergeants were like pigs and dogs slaves. Do you think such an army can protect our country?
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?Joke!
The Dakang Dynasty learned this lesson from the previous dynasty. Every year, the imperial army, border army, and garrison were given sufficient food and salary, and they did not dare to neglect it in the slightest.
"If this is the case, the court needs to give money." Zhong Chang looked at Emperor Jinghe, "Your Majesty, I suggest that we allocate four million taels of silver to Sichuan first, and go to Sichuan University at the exchange rate of one to three during this year's locust plague season. The bran was purchased on a large scale. The grain was first shipped from the Sichuan granary, and the bran was paid for by the imperial court.
When the snow disaster is almost dealt with, we will immediately transport grain from the Gyeonggi area to severely suppress grain prices, and then purchase a batch of grain locally in Sichuan to make up for the losses in the warehouse. "
"Can!"
The emperor nodded and agreed to the amount.
Four million taels is a big number.
But now that the court is rich, the emperor has only earned fifteen million taels. Compared with the importance of Sichuan and Xikang, four million taels is not much.
Of course, not all of the four million will come from here, the Ministry of Household Affairs will provide part of it, because this is their responsibility.
It¡¯s just that the Ministry of Household Affairs was very empty due to frequent disasters in recent years, so the emperor¡¯s help was needed.
The responsible emperor¡¯s small treasury is used to subsidize the court.
An emperor without a sense of responsibility uses his small treasury for his own enjoyment.
The Dakang Dynasty was very lucky. This emperor was a typical person who used his own money to subsidize the court.
We can¡¯t simply say whether this is good or not, but someone¡¯s heart of thinking about the people is really good. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?The treasury is for your own enjoyment.
