Chapter 1006 Reason(1/2)
If the situation in the northern part of Daqian is overall stable, then the south is really in dire straits.
There are continuous natural disasters in the north, and the south is no less generous.
Floods, locust plagues, epidemics, earth dragons, and other disasters are endless, causing huge harm to the people.
To be honest, as long as the organization can deal with it properly, although natural disasters are cruel, they can still be overcome.
The most serious thing here in the south is man-made disaster!
The capital is too far away from here, and even if we want to take care of it, we are unable to do so.
Besides, the south is the territory of aristocratic families and gentry, and the royal family's influence is only in the Jinling area. It is hard to say how much the royal family has a say in the rest of the southern region.
The greed of aristocratic families and country gentlemen has almost no limits!
Once there is a natural disaster and the relief provided by the local government is slightly delayed, the farmers who have been seriously affected by the disaster will not be able to bear it at all.
Either sell the land obediently, or wait for the government, which colludes with the squires, to take various tossing. In short, they must buy the land that has been developed and matured under the name of the farmers.
For this reason, under the cover of natural disasters, it is nothing if a few people or a whole family die.
All of a sudden, urgent documents from the government and documents asking for help flew to the capital like snowflakes, and were quickly delivered to the current desk.
Obviously, the officialdom in the south has not been cleaned up enough!
Three of the five cabinet ministers are from the South!
Now his face was ashen, and he was so angry in private that he almost cursed.
But he knew in his heart that the luck he had accumulated was far from enough.
Being a scholar is no joke, and southern scholars are notorious for daring to cause trouble.
At least, the world of Red Mansions cannot help him go further and reach a higher level.
Not to mention anything else, in the mountains, forests, lakes and rivers in the south, there have been many bandits, bandits and water bandits in a short period of time, and the number of refugees everywhere is even greater than in the north.
As long as you can master Taixu Illusion, it is basically equivalent to having control over this world.
What are human resources are the people who are under the direct control of local powerful people and the indirect control of them.
In this case, there is nothing to worry about nowadays.
In fact, it is not that difficult to solve the problem of Jiangnan disaster relief.
As for those students from official schools and academies who came from poor backgrounds, they would naturally not join forces with the local powerful, and would tell the court officials who commanded them exactly what they had seen and experienced.
Besides, the current level has reached the limit that the southern squire group can endure, and they cannot be pushed too hard.
Of course, compared to Ancestor Hongjun, the strength and style of the Lord of Taixu Illusion Realm are lower by who knows how many levels.
At the moment, he is very satisfied to be able to achieve his goal of accumulating massive luck as an outsider by helping the Daqian Dynasty as a foundation.
If they were allowed to take charge of disaster relief in the south, it would not be surprising at all that most of the court's money and food would end up in the hands of local gentry.
To be honest, the imperial court's finances are relatively resilient at this time.
Right now, what we have to do is to help Daqian improve his national power, and then achieve the goal of accumulating enough luck through the continuous expansion of outer sea territories.
But he is not happy!
Luck to achieve enlightenment is actually similar to the so-called luck to the dynasty, and it must be completely bound to the entire Central Plains region.
Luck is the only way to take away the power to control Taixu Illusion!
There is no need to worry about lack of money. Does the imperial court deliberately cooperate with big businessmen from various places? Anyway, if they have money, they will definitely be able to see the benefits from building port towns.
There are still many good cards in hand today. For example, students from official schools in Jiangnan and students from academies in various places can be summoned as disaster relief personnel. They are responsible for supervising and directly participating in disaster relief under the command of the imperial ministers sent by the imperial court.
With the founding group's efforts in the open sea and even occupying several islands as bases, Jia Rong's luck has greatly increased.
For example, in the coastal areas of Huainan and Huaibei, port towns can be built one after another according to hydrological and geographical conditions.
They also took advantage of the high food prices and manipulated the prices of other materials to plunder almost all the remaining money in the hands of the people.
If they come forward to supervise and implement it personally, the family behind it will naturally have some scruples, and fierce internal conflicts may even break out.
Almost one-fifth of the officialdom in the south has been purged, and it is still in this terrible state. How can it be possible to continue to fill it in today?
As for using force, the impact would be too bad, and he would not do it unless it was absolutely necessary.
As long as we can provide disaster relief well and do a good job of pulling out the firewood, there won't be any big trouble here in the south.
But now I don't have any ideas, so I can only think of Jia Rong, the head of the Ning Mansion, who has a lot of ideas and is very useful.
Japan fought successive wars overseas, and the founding group won a great victory, gradually controlling Japan's overseas trade.
He has compared that the luck clouds above his head at this time are even comparable to one-fourth and close to one-third of Daqian's national luck.
What the imperial court and local officials had to do was to vigorously absorb refugees.
Obviously, it is a very correct move to not make troubles within Daqian and to lead the powerful Founding Group to expand territory in the outer seas.
In fact, if Jia Rong could become the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty, it would be faster and easier to accumulate luck.
There are some things that don’t need to be said in detail to understand the power of the Southern Squire Group.
Obviously, the core of luck in the world of Red Mansions is in the East, and the core of the East is in the Central Plains region!
There is a vague realization in my heart that the illusion of Taixu may be the core of the world of Red Mansions.
The imperial court was in a difficult situation when dealing with local gentry. Could it be that it still had problems dealing with a group of big businessmen with a shallow foundation?
If that doesn't work, then we can mobilize the imperial merchants under the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Even if you don't want to come forward in person, don't you still have the black gloves that you keep secretly?
Or they are street gangsters, or simply bandits. Letting them take action should be able to solve the problem easily, right?
Anyway, with the right to speak, and the cooperation of some officials to block the news, even if some unspeakable tragedy happened, it would be spread in the countryside at most, and even the county borders could not be crossed.
Officials who do not cooperate will either get into trouble within a few days, or they will be directly ignored by the officials in the yamen. There are very few officials who can really withstand the pressure and still have a certain say.
In a peaceful situation, it would be almost impossible to pry away the human resources controlled by local gentry.
Going south is the target he must aim at!
Not to mention that Daqian's own national destiny still has great room for improvement, even if the south is an important part of the voyage to Southeast Asia, he cannot turn a blind eye.
In front of Dai Quan, he basically said everything clearly that needed to be said.
As for the imperial court, it only needs to stand firmly behind these scholars.
Overseas, the Founding Group and the Southern Sea Trade Group have already started working.
Once you go too far, who knows whether you will be treated as a model by the royal family and punished?
But when natural disasters occur frequently, the situation is turbulent, people's hearts are unstable, and the government is slow to respond, there won't be many side effects if you show your ferocious fangs.
Of course, the emperor wanted to save face, so he would not personally intervene in some matters, so General Manager Dai Quan took action again.
They spend most of their time studying. Even if there is any bad side in the family, they will not be exposed to it easily at this time.
In this way, the fate of the dynasty will not be completely tied up, and there is no need to worry about being deliberately targeted by the higher world.
For Jia Rong, the head of the Ning Mansion at this time, I can now give a certain amount of trust and be willing to listen to his opinions.
If the local government and garrison can't count on them, they will find ways to drain the firepower.
Things like collusion between officials and businessmen, where powerful locals are committing lawlessness, and whether people are properly accommodated will all be exposed easily.
It would be best to gather together those who were seriously affected by the disaster, or those who have lost their land and become tenants.
Besides, it is not clear whether the garrison troops in the southern region still obey the imperial court.
After all, Ning Mansion has obtained the title of a foreign vassal, and it can no longer be regarded as purely working for one's own people. No matter how powerful its ability and power are, it is impossible to enter the core of the court.
You know, several imperial envoys have disappeared inexplicably.
Financial power is too sensitive. Unless the court wants to take heavy action, it cannot be easily touched, so it would be better to use human resources.
After all, there are government agencies and royal spies, but they are not their subordinates. Even if they are deeply infiltrated, there are always those who cannot be bribed or exposed.
Otherwise, how did Jia Baoyu come here?
No one knows if there will be any problems in the world of Red Mansions after he takes control of it?
Obviously, the world of Red Mansions and the higher-level world are closely related.
There are very few people who think it's normal to use force to bully others.
To put it bluntly, he doesn’t want a tow bottle hanging on his body!
At this time, Jia Rong's own destiny was so majestic that it can only be described as shocking.
At this time, if Jia Rong is willing to concentrate his luck, there is no problem in breaking through the outer protection of Taixu Illusion Realm in one go.
The squires in the north are still restrained by the royal family and nobles, so they don't dare to go too far. In the south, the squire family is the only one, so they can do whatever they want.
In Taiping Scenery, you have to worry about some dignity, so that your appearance will not be too ugly.
When the time comes, the court will not only have sufficient evidence, but will also be able to handle it with ease.
However, how to prevent the southern gentry group from wantonly annexing land is more critical.
