Li Yan, Niu Jinxing and the others left. Whether it was because of their petty thoughts or their determination to save the people, their destiny has changed.

"Let's wait and see."

After Li Yan and the others left, Lu Xiangsheng sighed softly, then picked up an official letter and started reading it solemnly.

Currently, Lu Xiangsheng has too many things to do and solve, including disaster relief, maintaining stability, investigating, taking power, and eradicating corruption...

The above-mentioned matters involve many levels and a wide range of groups. They cannot be solved by just opening his mouth and saying a few words while wearing the official title of governor of Zhili.

Before the good governance of the officials and gentry paying grain and serving as errands, allocating workers to acres, and returning fire to the public were spoken out from the mouth of Emperor Chongzhen, many local situations would not change their nature. Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Zhili,

He also needs to win over others and fight against others before he can secure his position.

"I hope that the Tianxiong Army sent to Shandong can successfully solve the problem of the remnants of Bailian." Putting down the official letter in his hand, Lu Xiangsheng frowned slightly and muttered: "If the remnants of Bailian cannot be eradicated, it will be too harmful to the stability of the place, especially in Shandong.

There is an important water transportation area over there, so there must be no chaos."

Lu Xiangsheng seemed to be in a bad mood when he thought of the military reports he had sent from the Tianxiong Army units sent to various places during the disaster relief period.

The remnants of the White Lotus have a very strong ability to confuse people's hearts and stir up public sentiment. The places where they are active, such as Henan and Shandong, have been suffering from constant disasters in recent years, with more exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and a lot of the three major taxes being assessed. If there really is a war that will affect a lot of people,

A major disaster will inevitably give rise to rebellion.

In the current Ming Dynasty, no substantial progress has been made in countering rebellions in Shanxi, Shanxi, and Liaodong. If another rebellion dares to occur in other places, it will have a great impact on the imperial court.

"Your Majesty's decision is wise."

Lu Xiangsheng, whose thoughts were confused, looked at the official letter in front of him and sighed: "If you want to stabilize the place, you must start from the source.

Perhaps the occurrence of disasters cannot be changed by humans.

However, before the disaster occurs, active rectification of local governance, water conservancy improvements, and road maintenance can truly prevent disasters before they occur.

"First Evolution"

Even if a disaster does occur, even if it involves a wide range of areas, if the above things can be done well, it can at least reduce the harm of the disaster."

The Disaster Relief Office established by Emperor Chongzhen and the local disaster relief office are actually a very broad government office.

It may not be recognized by the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, but as long as the highest official in a place grasps this matter, many subsequent extended arrangements can be completed step by step.

The act of disaster relief became the main theme of governing and stabilizing the world for a long time in the future.

After all, in the Little Ice Age, it is basically impossible to change this characteristic.

For a long time in the past, the Ming Dynasty spent a lot of money on disaster relief, including repairing rivers. However, disasters still occurred every year when they should occur, and the disasters were often serious.

In the final analysis, it is still the inaction of the local government. Local officials have used their hands to use disaster relief as a tool to enrich themselves.

Natural disasters are not terrible.

Man-made disasters are the most terrible!

If the disaster relief system established by Emperor Chongzhen can be effectively operated at the local level, clarify the idea of ​​​​relief for work, actively prepare for disasters, prepare for famine, and organize large-scale construction actions, even if it cannot completely eliminate the impact of the disaster after it occurs,

, but at least it can reduce the impact, and the amount of food and salary spent on disaster relief will inevitably be greatly reduced.

And if you want to do these things well, the most critical thing is people. If the talent cultivation of the disaster relief system can be slowly cultivated in disaster relief and organizational building, the changes it will bring to Ming Dynasty will be

There will be an increasing trend.

Lu Xiangsheng saw this essence.

"Governor, these are some of the situations ascertained by the Daming, Yongping, Shunde and other prefectures." Yan Yingyuan looked tired, holding a stack of eucalyptus slips, walked quickly into the official room, and said to Lu Xiangsheng.

“In the list of people who donated food and salary for disaster relief, students and others conducted on-site visits and investigations and found out some people who were doing evil and oppressing the people.

Before the Zhili Disaster Relief Agency was established, these people and a group of unscrupulous grain dealers secretly drove up grain prices in an attempt to annex land at a low price.

Although the current disaster relief situation in various places has restored some order, if we want to appease the people and stabilize local public opinion, these people must be brought to justice."

Not only did Lu Xiangsheng not get angry at Yan Yingyuan's many opinions as soon as he came to the official office, but he showed some approval.

"How do you think this matter should be handled?"

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the eucalyptus slip, lowered his head and said to Yan Yingyuan: "After all, the disaster relief situation in these prefectures and counties has only just been clarified.

If we take rash measures and arrest all these people, it will inevitably cause instability in the local area, which will inevitably have a greater impact on the matters decided by the Disaster Relief Administration."

Yan Yingyuan fell silent.

What the governor said is indeed a reality. After all, these people investigated have a good reputation in the local area, and all of them have strong family backgrounds. Some of them even have quite a lot of background behind them.

If we really take rash action and arrest them all, it will inevitably cause chaos in many places in Zhili.

"Students think...can we catch a group of role models first?"

Yan Yingyuan thought for a while, frowned and said: "It is unrealistic to arrest them all and discuss their crimes, but if we can arrest those who have committed the most serious crimes, it can also act as a deterrent."

"Kill the chicken to scare the monkey?"

Lu Xiangsheng put down the eucalyptus, looked up at Yan Yingyuan, and said with a smile: "This idea is a good one, but after all, there are some hidden dangers.

I think it would be better to first clarify the location of the government and arrest all the people involved, on the grounds of ignoring the law and inciting civil unrest.

Rather than looking broadly at some examples, it is better to take a clear stand on one thing, which can not only serve as a warning to the monkeys, but also keep the overall situation in order.

Let’s just settle in Guangpingfu.

In a few days, I will leave Daming Prefecture and go to Guangping Prefecture. This place is a key point. If this matter can be done well, we will stabilize the order in the future, actively prepare for disasters and famines, and ask the Disaster Relief Administration to promote work-replacement.

Relief can play a vital role.”

After Yan Yingyuan heard these words and thought about it carefully, his eyes opened slightly and there was a little excitement between his eyebrows.

This is indeed an excellent idea.

Moreover, Guangping Prefecture is the most serious place affected by the disaster in Zhili. If this matter can be handled to the best, it can indeed have an excellent deterrent effect, which can promote subsequent plans.
Chapter completed!
