Chapter 370
Jianning 18 years, June
It was already summer, and the disaster relief work was under the disposal of Cui Shi and others, and gradually came to fruition, but Cui Shi was not satisfied with this. After these few years, he believed that the disaster might not be resolved in a short period of time. It will stop, and it is very likely that it will continue to happen. In order to prevent such a situation from continuing to occur this year, the best solution is to resist in advance.

And how to resist it has become a big problem. Natural disasters, what can be done to resist this?
First of all, it is still the same old way. Cui Shi leads the governor and other local officials to burn incense and pray, hoping that God will not embarrass him again. Cui Shi does not know whether such behavior is useful, but he knows that such an approach can at least stabilize the situation. The hearts of the people, so that the people will not continue to panic and worry, Lu Zhi and the others all understand Cui Shi's thoughts, they did not stop them, and they also worshiped heaven together.

Afterwards, they made a fuss on the roads, houses, and stoves. The huge disaster this time allowed them to see the situation when the disaster happened. The road blocked by snow is the most serious problem. In this way, whether it is Disaster relief or escape is extremely unfavorable, and it is for this reason that the temple's assistance has been delayed in reaching the local area.

Therefore, it is still necessary to follow Xing Ziang's decree and build roads.

At Cui Shi's request, Xing Ziang raised the height of the road to be built, and made new deployments on both sides. According to Cui Shi's words, this can prevent snow from blocking the road in the future. , all started construction under Cui Shi's scheduling. As for the specifics, Cui Shi didn't understand, he could only propose a rough plan, and Lu Zhi and Xing Ziang still needed to do the specific things.

The aid from the temple continued to go to the north, and Yuan Gong's heart was extraordinarily cold.

Fortunately, Liangzhou was not affected by such a disaster, and foreign trade was not interrupted because of this. The business travelers returning from the Guishuang Empire are still doing their best to enrich the treasury. As Wen Rengong said, this foreign trade matter has really become It is an important source of income for the imperial court. With this source, the national treasury will not collapse completely, but it is not as good as Wen Rengong's period.

Yuan Feng was terrified, fearing that one day the state treasury would be unable to make ends meet, so his behavior became more and more similar to that of a celebrity, and he could not see the demeanor of the famous celebrity before. The emperor also noticed this situation, and made Jingzhou , Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places have stepped up the construction of canals and water transportation. There have been no disasters here, and they can support these by relying on local finances.

With the construction of canals and water transportation, it is possible to collect a large amount of vehicle and vessel taxes.

The most expensive tax for the Han Dynasty is the commercial tax, followed by the vehicle tax.

In addition, increasing investment in appearance matters, allowing more merchants to participate, facilitates the collection of more taxes. With the efforts of the emperor and Yuan Feng, the treasury of the Han Dynasty can still barely maintain the growth trend. It is also because of Wenrengong's talent in the past that he has accumulated countless wealth. Otherwise, if the imperial court carried out so many construction projects at the same time, the treasury would have been unable to support it.

Wang Fu in the south, after stabilizing the form of Yizhou, still chose to develop overseas. Hundreds of large ships sailed towards the southwest, accompanied by Huang Zhong, who was ordered to protect , Wang Fu rushed all the way to Funan, expanded the dock base in Funan, ordered the fleet to repair here, and gave no further orders.

At night, the sea breeze was blowing the curtain of the tent, Wang Fu was sitting in the tent, carefully observing the map.

The soldier came in and said, "Captain Huang Zhong, please see me!"

Wang Fu nodded.

It didn't take long before Huang Zhong came in, and seeing Wang Fu, he asked directly: "My lord, if we stay here for one more day, we will spend tens of thousands of money for no reason. Why don't we continue to go south?" Sailing?"

"What do you know!" Wang Fu didn't even raise his head, and he scolded directly. Huang Zhong blushed, but he was helpless. He knew Wang Fu's temperament. He suppressed his anger and asked, "My lord, I am ignorant, but no matter what, let the soldiers know why they are staying here, the soldiers are so impatient, is the prince not afraid of making mistakes?"

"Not afraid."

Huang Zhong really didn't know what to say.

"Leave first, get ready, and go to sea tomorrow!" Wang Fu waved his hand.

Huang Zhong walked out of his camp angrily, and ran into Zhang Jiao head-on. After a few years, Zhang Jiao gradually became a bit old. He had been exposed to the sea breeze for a long time, the corners of his eyes were red, and he could not see clearly. , his face was also dry, he looked at it seriously for a moment, and then he recognized Huang Zhong in front of him, cupped his hands and said, "See Captain Huang."

"Mr. Zhang? Why did you come here?" Huang Zhong asked in surprise. Zhang Jiao is considered a senior man in the navy. Since he promised to find the fairy island for the emperor, he has sailed overseas for nearly ten years. Became the most seasoned official in the Han Dynasty, when Xing Ziang was in Yangzhou, he went to the temple and won Zhang Jiao the official status of Cao Cao's official history.

But this didn't make Zhang Jiao happy. He searched hard for ten years, but he couldn't find the fairy island he longed for. However, he still hasn't given up. During this period, the smile on his face became less and less Now, he always has a sad face, or a solemn look, but he is still kind to people, and he will personally treat the wounded and sick of the accompanying soldiers, and is willing to share the joys and sorrows with everyone.

Therefore, Huang Zhong and other generals also respect him very much.

"I'm here to find the prince." Zhang Jiao still didn't have a smile on his face, and said with a bitter face. Huang Zhong snorted coldly and said, "What are you looking for? How to describe him, in the end, I can only say: "This person should be cooked!"

Zhang Jiao didn't reply, Huang Zhong bid him farewell and left. Zhang Jiao walked into the camp. Seeing him, Wang Fu interrupted his meeting, let him sit beside him, and pointed to the letter on the desk. On the map, asked: "I heard, is it true that there are many hidden reefs here?"

"exactly."

Wang Fu started talking with him, and the two of them kept writing on the map. After about an hour, the entire map was marked very clearly. As soon as the mark came out, Wang Fu nodded and said: "You go away!" Zhang Jiao didn't say anything more, bid farewell and left.

On the next day, Huang Zhong summoned his soldiers, mobilized the fleet, and prepared to sail. At this time, several small boats came from the outer sea. If it weren't for the Han flag flying on the boats, Huang Zhong would have ordered the siege. Fu Ren received them, and when they approached the shore, Huang Zhong discovered that these were all sailors of the Funan Kingdom's fleet.

Wang Fu brought them here, and on the grounds that he was not familiar with the surrounding sea area, he asked the fleet of Funan Kingdom to clear the way for them, and also gave them a lot of money. The boatmen of Funan Kingdom were very happy. They were sent by the King of Funan to obey all orders from Wang Fu, not to mention that Wang Fu gave them money, so they immediately dispatched to lead the fleet at the forefront.

And the fleet completely followed behind these ships, sailing slowly.

Huang Zhong stood on the bow of the ship, turned his head, looked at Wang Fu standing leisurely on the main ship, and was speechless.
