Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

After Dalang caught the week and was able to let go of Lichun's support to help him walk a few steps, the court began to receive good news one after another.

First of all, it was passed on by Xiong Tingbi, Liaodong Economic Strategy.After several years of dragnet searches, Jiannu did not exist in any tribe with more than 20 members, and the Nuer Gandu Division was restored.

Ding Guogong's son and Zhang Zhilin also sent back good news respectively.

Zhu Youxiao caressed the news of North Korea's arrival, and a knowing smile floated on his face.Sure enough, the saying that the boss is stupid, the second child is treacherous, and there is no good third child in the world, they are not wrong at all.

The Forbidden Army team led by Zhang Zhilin used the power of artillery to attack the city and plunder the village all the way. After killing all the members of the Li family, they drove the other Koreans to the southernmost point.

Ding Guogong's son disagreed with his approach, and the two had a falling out.Under Zhou Yongchun's persuasion, Xiong Tingbi let Dingguogong's son lead all Liaodong soldiers except Zhang Zhifeng's [-] forbidden troops to march westward, pushing the border between the east and west of Liao and Tatar to the territory of Tai/Zu Ding Dynasty .

Cui Jingrong looked at the emperor's face and knew that the emperor agreed with Zhang Zhilin's actions.He only sighed in his heart, and put aside his sympathy for North Korea.After the Son of Heaven vetoed the proposal of sending officials to North Korea to persuade the royal family of the Li family, Cui Jingrong knew that the Son of Heaven would not lightly spare the North Koreans who surrendered and built slaves.But he didn't expect that Zhang Zhilin would do so ruthlessly, killing all the royal family of the Li family.

Sure enough, there was something unique about Zhang Zhilin being able to become a Marquis.A person who was born as a civil servant, even after all these years in the Ministry of War, still cannot achieve the level of Zhang Zhilin.

"Your Majesty, this is the military supplies that the forbidden army in North Korea asked the court to provide."

After reading it carefully, Zhu Youxiao said: "Send half of it first. North Korea has no power to resist, but there is no shortage of firepower for the son of Duke Dingguo. Li Qing, the immigrant from Shaanxi, will be sent directly this time. The four counties of North Korea."

Li Shangshu from the household department nodded in agreement. "The Minister will order Shaanxi to speed up the migration of the people. Try to let the people settle down in the four counties before autumn comes."

After Li Qiyuan came to the Ministry of Households as a minister, he quickly understood the purpose of the emperor under the guidance, help, and guidance of several veteran ministers.He quickly entered the role, assumed the responsibility of the Minister of the Ministry of Households, actively led all the officials of the Ministry of Households, and cooperated with the emperor to restore the Shaanxi Xingdu Division to the Qin and Han forests.

He agreed with the emperor that the Yellow River sediment was caused by over-cultivation in Shaanxi.For this reason, he also suggested that Shaanxi should stop raising goats.

Goats are different from Mianyang. When goats eat grass, they will turn out the grass roots and chew them.It is often a place where there are many goats. Even if there are many hills overgrown with weeds, they will become bare and barren land after a few years.When the spring breeze blew, everyone's faces were covered with dust. He had seen too many such distressed appearances during his years as governor of Shaanxi.

If the Xingdu Division of Shaanxi could reduce the number of people who cultivated it, the imperial court would not have to invest hundreds of thousands of land in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River every year.

"The bane is the salt merchants."

Li Qiyuan pointed out the key to soil erosion in Shaanxi.

"Originally, there were not so many people in Shaanxi, and they were recruited by salt merchants from all over the country. At the beginning, the imperial court implemented the law of opening up China, and salt merchants sent grain to Shaanxi in exchange for salt imports. As a result, salt merchants attracted a large number of people. Cultivate on three sides.

Land reclamation in spring destroys water and soil, and firewood is burned for heating in winter.The salt merchants saved money in transporting grain and caused soil erosion in Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia. The imperial court should hold the salt merchants accountable. "

Over the past few years, Shaanxi has continued to emigrate, reducing the number of local farmers.During Li Qiyuan's tenure as governor of Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, he did not agree with the court's statement that it was to reduce the sediment carried by the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River. He believed that the court moved the people of Shaanxi to Liaodong to occupy the land in Liaodong.After all, in the bitter cold of Liaodong, the people of Shaanxi migrated there, it is better than the people of Huguang used to adapt.

After he went to the Ministry of Households to be a minister, he looked through various materials in the first few years of Tianqi, and a new door opened in front of his eyes: it turned out that the sediment of the Yellow River came from this way, and it turned out that the management of the Yellow River should reduce it from the source. sediment.

Especially with the amount of rainfall last year, he had been preparing disaster relief materials for a long time. As a result, the Yellow River Basin was fine, and the Huai River Basin was basically fine.

Then Li Qiyuan and Xu Guangqi became friends who talked about everything.

Huang Kezuan looked at Li Qiyuan's attitude of righteous indignation even more than his promotion, and quickly comforted him, saying: "The salt merchants have paid a lot of money in the past two years."

Li Qiyuan disagreed: "The money that the imperial court invests in river governance and disaster relief every year is at least a few 10 taels, and sometimes it is more than 200 million taels. How much is it accumulated over the past 200 years? And those who died in the floods What about those lives?"

Calculated in this way, all the salt merchants in Ming Dynasty have been confiscated.

Huang Kezuan once again felt that he was not suitable to be the minister of the Ministry of punishment.

After Zhang Wenda and Wang Yingjiao became officials together, the current censor of Zuodu is He Zongyan.He watched the excitement and didn't dislike things, and said, "The Dibao should properly disclose Li Shangshu's remarks. Regardless of whether the emperor wants to pursue the losses of the three sides with the salt merchants, the salt merchants must know that there is some money in the money they earn. The lives of the people affected by the disaster in the Yellow River."

The old god Zhou Jiamo was dozing off on the ground, and Huang Kezuan immediately pulled Zhao Bingzhong, the right servant of the Ministry of punishment, over.

"Zhuangyuan Lang, what should you do when you discuss this with the two of them?"

Zhao Bingzhong was helpless, Qiao Yunsheng, the left servant of the Ministry of punishment, was over 70, and submitted several resignations to the emperor, who was considering a suitable candidate for the servant of the Ministry of punishment.Although he is the number one scholar, he is obviously not good enough for his seniors He Zongyan and Li Qiyuan.

Fortunately, the emperor arrived at this time, and the Hall of Mental Cultivation was immediately quiet.

Today's Xiaochaohui is in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the Dachaohui is in the Wenhua Hall.The emperor usually only discusses three to five things with his courtiers at the small court meeting.At the court meeting, some major court measures are often announced, or the opinions of the courtiers are solicited on a certain matter.There is no requirement to have results on the spot.Courtiers are often given a certain amount of time to read the book.

What really makes decisions is neither the Great Court nor the Small Court, but a small meeting with the participation of only the six ministries and seven ministers, the two ministers, and the three cabinet ministers.

Zhao Bingzhong didn't need to face the accusations from the Minister of the Ministry of Finance and the Yushi Zuodu, and immediately retreated to his position.After Zhu Youxiao sat down, the veterans of various ministries also sat down first after the emperor "granted a seat".

There are three things to discuss today.

The first is the Jiangxi censor Tian Zhenshu and Chen Xianlu’s method proposed by He Zongyan. It is suggested that the number of clans given to the clan in the 48th year of Wanli should be 20 as the standard, and the standard should be re-established according to the number of clans in each prefecture, and the current number should prevail. In the future, as the number of descendants increases, the original branch can only be used equally within the original quota, and the household department will no longer increase the amount of Luyin.

Zhu Youxiao naturally has no objection.Those clans could only eat and drink, and didn't do anything that would benefit the country and the people. Giving them 20 silver was too much.But the ministers had no objections, and the clan's salary restriction law was passed smoothly.

The second thing is bigger.

Ye Xianggao mentioned that the imperial court had received an urgent report from Yan'an Mansion on the [-]-mile trip to Beijing yesterday, reporting that there were sporadic migratory locusts appearing in various places in Yan'an Mansion.

Bi Ziyan immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, once the migratory locusts cause a disaster for thousands of miles, the imperial court should take immediate measures."

Liu Yixiu continued Bi Ziyan's words: "It was already afternoon when we received the urgent report yesterday. After leading us to discuss with you, Your Majesty immediately replied to the Yan'an Mansion and ordered the Yulin guards to assist the Yan'an Mansion in killing migratory locusts. "

"We suggested three methods to Yulinwei and Yan'an Prefecture: one is to hold a bonfire, and migratory locusts have a habit of fighting the fire at night. This method is only useful for locusts that can fly. The second method is to slap with utensils or net bags Sweeping. The third is the method of digging and trapping."

Han Yu added after Liu Yixiu.These are very old and traditional methods of killing locusts, and they are also proven and effective methods.For those present here, there is no need for a more detailed explanation.

Zhu Youxiao saw that the courtiers understood, and then he spoke.

"What I mean is to voluntarily give up the success of Yan'an Mansion this year, create a isolation zone around Yan'an Mansion, and take the initiative to use the bonfire method to kill migratory locusts every night. Otherwise, flying to the nearby Qingyang Mansion and Pingyang Mansion will cause the spread and expansion of the locust plague. , the loss will be even greater.”

This method of survival with broken arms is the most effective against locust plagues.

"If all the ministers have no objections, Yan'an Mansion will be exempted from tax this year. Relief will be given according to the lack of income. The money will be paid from the emergency relief funds."

Seeing that there was no objection from the courtiers, Zhu Youxiao turned to He Zongyan.

"He Qing, the Procuratorate will send more censors to Yan'an Mansion, Shaanxi Province. You must control the locust disaster in Yan'an Mansion. To stabilize the people, the imperial court should also prepare food for disaster relief. See your household department's opinion. Where does it come from?"

Li Qiyuan just came back from Shanxi, he immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I request that you go to Shaanxi to deal with the locust plague."

Zhou Jiamo refused on behalf of the emperor: "Li Shangshu, you are not the governor-general coming to Beijing to report on your duties now. You are the minister of the household department."

Li Qiyuan sat down awkwardly, Zhu Youxiao comforted him and said: "Li Qing, don't worry, Ningxia Wei and Yulin Wei have gained a lot in the past few years, and the people of Yan'an Mansion will not suffer from starvation."

Bi Ziyan stood up and proposed: "Yulin Wei is the closest to Yan'an Mansion, so we should export grain from Yulin Wei first. Jiangsu and Henan were not hit by floods last year, and the Taiping warehouses in the two provinces can be replenished, and then shipped to Yulin Wei."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and began to discuss the third matter.

"The war in Annan is progressing smoothly. I want to move the people from Guangdong and Guangxi to Annan. What do you think?"

The author has something to say: the locust plague in Yan'an prefecture in history led to the subsequent drought in Shaanxi after the locust plague, and then the peasant uprising...
