What happened? Zhu Yunxiu walked over quickly and spoke.

The running secret guard stopped and lowered his head slightly. The third master, the eight hundred miles of Fuzhou rushed forward, and the Fuhe River broke a hole. The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works are waiting for the old man!

(Jiangxi, Jiangxi had seven major floods during the Hongwu period. This is the novelist's words. The time point is wrong and cannot be used as a reference. Wow, there are a few more words, haha.)

Jiangxi had another flood, and Zhu Yunhuang was shocked.

As the crown prince trained by Zhu Yuanzhang, he studied not only Confucianism and the history of governing the country, but also mountains, rivers and geography. There are many rivers in Jiangxi, and dozens of river breaks in the Yuan Dynasty, causing hundreds of thousands of people to be homeless.

The autumn harvest is about to be approaching, but the flood is coming, and it must be quite good for the people from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry to wait to see the emperor.

Zhu Yun turned around and saw Zhu Yuanzhang strode toward him. He didn't ask what was wrong, but said to the guards next to him, prepare a horse and return to the palace!

Just now, the two of them were still strolling in the folk garden, but now they turned over and kept running. Zhu Yuanzhang's back was straight, his face as if he was sinking into water.

After entering the palace, they didn't even change their clothes, so the two hurriedly walked into Fengtian Hall. At this moment, the minister of the Ministry of Revenue Fu Youwen, minister of the Ministry of Works, Xia Xiang, minister of the Ministry of Works, Zhang Heng, minister of the Minister of the Secretariat, Liu Sanwu, and more than a dozen ministers in the hall were already anxiously becoming ants in a hot pot.

Seeing that the two of you came in, you quickly kowtowed.

Chen, etc....

Get up! Zhu Yuanzhang sat down on the dragon chaise and ordered, give him a seat to his beloved ministers and serve us tea. As he said, he said to Zhu Yunxi, Dasun, come by our side!

Yes! Zhu Yunxi responded and stood beside Zhu Yuanzhang.

Thank you to Your Majesty! Fu Youwen, the Minister of Revenue, said in a trembling voice that Jiangxi has been raining for several days since May, and the river water has surged in more than two months. Fuzhou has reported urgently that the stone embankment on the south bank of Fuhe has been broken, and the breach has reached more than 200 feet in one day.

Zhu Yunxiu thought quickly in his mind that Fuhe is the second largest river in Jiangxi, with a total length of more than 600 miles, but its basin area is extremely wide, involving many surrounding prefectures and counties.

A two hundred feet of breach is equivalent to about 600 meters wide. Imagine how earth-shaking the flood is coming out from a six hundred meters wide breach. Moreover, as time goes by, the breach will only become larger and larger. I am afraid that the northern part of Jiangxi will have no grain this year.

(The geography is bad, the case is adapted from real floods in the Ming Dynasty)

Xia Xiang, the Minister of Works, also said that Fuhe broke the mouth, and the five counties under its jurisdiction, including Linchuan, Chongren, Yihuang, Jinxi, Le'an, and the four counties next to Jianchang Road, Nancheng, Nanfeng, Xincheng and Guangchang, are probably more and more unlucky!

The hall was silent like death. There were nine counties and two states in Honghu River, which involved nearly hundreds of thousands of people and immeasurable property losses.

There is no hope for food in these areas. In addition, there are cities, houses and businesses. In addition, hundreds of thousands of people have no food to eat, and it may cause chaos.

The people will rebel if they have no food to eat. This is the truth.

Even if they do not rebel, there will often be large-scale plagues after the flood.

Think about it, I dare not think about it.

This is the Ming Dynasty. No matter how good the Ming Dynasty is, it is not as good as the future generations.

As soon as the flood came, many people were homeless and displaced, and were even hungry and cold.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxi could no longer bear it. It started raining heavily in Jiangxi in May, so why didn’t the local officials report? Looking through memorials from all over the country these days, it was a matter of greetings. In the official documents to Ganzhou yesterday, Grandpa Huang also wrote that Jiangxi has many disasters and must be sympathetic to the people. How are the officials on Fuzhou Road sympathetic?

The ministers looked at each other and stood up quickly. The ministers and others were guilty...

What are you guilty? Now you are talking about Jiangxi! Zhu Yunxi said, "The officials in Fuzhou only reported an emergency for eight hundred miles, but there is a solution to the problem!"

Liu Sanwu, the clan of the Secretariat, first glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, and then said to Zhu Yunxi, "Go back to Your Highness, Zhang Shan of Fuzhou Prefecture, asks the court to send relief as soon as possible!"

When something happens, you know how to provide relief, but when nothing happens, you don’t know how to prevent it! Zhu Yunxiu said angrily, hehe, Zhang Shanzhen is a good official!

Seeing Zhu Yun's face was ferocious and his eyes showed murderous intent. The ministers looked at each other and thought that this would be another difficult and difficult monarch to be served in the future.

The King of Wu's temper is so similar to that of the old emperor. He always has a knife in his heart and keeps sharpening it.

Zhu Yuanzhang's big hand tightly clasped the back of the chair with a sneer on his face. Our grandson was right, but now it is not the time to say this, and no one who should lose his head can escape. As he said that, Zhu Yuanzhang paused. You estimate how much food the victims in the nine counties and two states need!

I estimated that it would take about 500,000 stones, including salt, medicine and other substances! The Minister Zhang Heng said.

I'm afraid it's not enough!

This is not a time to hide your weakness. As a future heir, you must show your strong insights on political affairs in front of the emperor.

Zhu Yunxiu spoke and said to Zhu Yuanzhang, Grandpa, grandson, has been usurped!

It’s okay! Zhu Yuanzhang has a tense face. You are too big. You should share your grandfather’s worries. That’s it!

Yes! Zhu Yunxiu said, Grandpa and grandson thought that these foods were not enough. The autumn harvest was coming soon, and the harvest of the people in the nine counties was over. The current relief was just the beginning. Without the relief from the court, how could the people live in winter?

Moreover, after the flood, it will involve spring farming production next year and field dredging, which all require food. It is also necessary to prevent the spread of epidemics and prevent disaster victims from causing trouble. How long can 500,000 shi of grain be eaten?

How much food is left in the grain depot in the capital? Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and then asked.

Back to the emperor, there were still two million stones of grain in the warehouse in the capital! Fu Youwen hesitated, but that was the military ration accumulated over the years, and the reserved grain was not easily used!

Seeing that the Ming Dynasty was about to be prosperous, it was actually a waste of money. Taking over this mess from Dayuan was fine in the south, but because of years of war in the north, the court had to subsidize the court every year. As well as border wars, the Ming Dynasty was not rich.

Then allocate food and grass from Jiujiang and Wuchang, and it must be fast and urgent! Zhu Yuanzhang said.

However, those two large warehouses are also military rations! Fu Youwen paused. Once he took it out and wanted to fill it up, it would not be possible for three to five years...

The people are still hungry and don’t care! Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and paced back and forth. The people are important, let them have their meal first!

I will obey the order!

Jiujiang and Wuchang are both important routes for north-south transit, and are also important military centers in the mainland. The most elite troops stationed in the Ming Dynasty are now going to use their reserve military rations.

You can ask wealthy families in various prefectures to donate food! Zhu Yunsheng said.

He knew that in the feudal era, local tyrants and wealthy families could build bridges and roads to do good deeds, but they rarely provide relief to the victims. There is a saying that those in power are guarding against them to win people's hearts.

However, now I don’t care that Hubei is located on the west side of Jiangxi, and there are countless wealthy grain merchants in Hanyang, Wuchang.

Grandpa Huang asked them to give food, and the court could commend him. Zhu Yunxiu thought about it, for example, the government gave him a title like Taiping gentry.

Humph, don’t even think about it! Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, food is their lifeblood, and even if it is for them to be made by them, they will not take it out!

At this time, Xia Xiang, Minister of Works, said, "In addition to the food to help the victims, Fuzhou and other places also need to repair river embankments, clear river channels and other matters!" As he said that, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's expression and calculated that it was about 680,000 taels!"

Give it! Zhu Yuanzhang said without hesitation, and suddenly frowned. Is the Ministry of Revenue Curry still there?

There were still three million silver coins, but that was a bottom that could not be moved. Xia Xiang sighed.

Daming, can’t even get 600,000 yuan in silver now?

No, but the three million are actually financial reserves and cannot be moved lightly. Moreover, the border has been warring for years and military expenditures are huge.

Lan Yu won the battle and returned to the court, and another silver and money was rewarded.

(Don’t think that three million is less. The Emperor of Kangxi has only left eight million treasury for his son for more than 60 years. Of course, the salt tax and tea tax in the Qing Dynasty were all the emperor’s private money, not the treasury)

How much can you take? It’s hard to be the emperor, so Zhu Yuanzhang spoke slowly. It’s not possible. He will reduce the cost of the palace and send it to local people!

It’s not that I’m not on time, I have my own difficulties.
