Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

During the period when the disaster occurred, time was tough, but it was also fast, at least in the northern Zhili territory, those prefectures and counties affected by the drought were like this.

"Natural disasters are not terrible, what is terrible... is a man-made disaster under the disaster situation."

Lu Xiangsheng, who decided to ride a horse, looked exhausted, and sighed softly: "When you come to this Guangping Mansion, compared with the adjacent Zhending Mansion, that is the difference between heaven and earth.

These local mediocre officials and evil gentry are really abhorrent. At a time when the drought is severe, they don't say they share the worries of the court, but at least don't do too much! "

Talking, talking, Lu Xiangsheng fell silent.

Although I was very indignant in my heart, I was deeply disgusted with the actions of the group of local officials, including the gentry, landlords and other groups under the rule.

However, under this catastrophe, any kind of demonic behavior will not emerge.

Fearing that in Daming Mansion, Guangping Mansion and other places, how many innocent people will be annexed under this drought, the land they depend on for survival will be annexed, their wives will be separated, and they will be sold as slaves!
No wonder your Majesty, in spite of the opposition of the officials in the court, also wanted to depose the governors of Zhili and Baoding, and set up this governor of Zhili. '

Lu Xiangsheng narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the desolate fields in front of him, and thought to himself: "Over the years, the government has emptied the national treasury to suppress the rebellion and build captives.

However, the great plan to suppress the rebellion has not been effective for a long time. Even the Jian captives who conquered the upper class have entered the Daming Pass, causing bad influence.

Beizhili is where the emperor's lord is located, and this is the situation at hand, so what about other places in Ming Dynasty? '

Lu Xiangsheng didn't dare to think about it, he was afraid that the Ming Dynasty he thought was not like that at all, and mountains were pressing on him.

The position of governor of Zhili is not so easy to do.

The remnants of Bailian and the drought in Duofu.

The existing corruption of officials, collusion between officials and gentry, public grievances, collapse of taxes, emptiness of treasury, slack of military equipment and so on.

Even though the position of governor of Zhili was really secured by suppressing the remnants of Bailian, none of the problems he faced in the future was simple.

"Governor, when the general was inquiring about the disaster, he heard that Shunde, Guangping, and Huangzhuang are all actively opening porridge shops."

Liu Yuanchang opened his tiger eyes slightly, and said to Lu Xiangsheng: "The march from Baoding to this point, although there are disaster victims, the scale is not very large.

Coincidentally, there is a Huangzhuang in Wei County, and it is not far from our department. If the rumors are true, can the governor's disaster relief work be carried out with the help of Huangzhuang? "

Lu Xiangsheng's brows were tightly frowned, and he hated the eunuchs in charge of the village under the establishment of Huangzhuang. Lu Xiangsheng knew all about the gang of eunuchs in charge of the village who used their power to bully others and oppress the people.

It's just that during Lu Xiangsheng's tenure as governor of Jiliao, Emperor Chongzhen had already eradicated all those greedy eunuchs in charge of the village and Shuoshu, a family thief under the name of the inner court.

The current group of eunuchs who have been in charge of the village for a long time have such a lesson from the past, and under the control of Neichang and the supervision of Xichang, no one dares to do violent things again.

It's a pity that Lu Xiangsheng didn't know this.

During the Governor of Jiliao's tenure, Lu Xiangsheng was busy rectifying the border town and sorting out the military affairs of the Jimiyong Sanxie.

"Let's wait and see."

Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while, and said: "The most urgent task right now is to rush to Yongping Prefecture first, and even if we want to provide comprehensive disaster relief, we must control the place first.

The counties under the administration of Yongping Mansion have suffered from different disasters, and the adjacent Shunde Mansion is also said to be more severely affected.

There are too many things that need to be understood, and Ben Fu has not learned about it. In addition to the Bailian matter, if it is handled carelessly, it will breed civil unrest. "

As he said that, Lu Xiangsheng moved his sore arms, although he knew in his heart that the Tianxiong army under his command had been marching for several days, and his subordinates were quite tired.

But disaster relief, now is not the time to relax.

"Da da da……"

The rapid sound of horseshoes came from a distance, which made the Tianxiong army led by Lu Xiangsheng become alert, but soon relaxed again.

But I saw a group of Jin Yiwei in pro-military uniform, surrounded by a few eunuchs of the inner court, under the leadership of the heroes of the army in the back, galloping towards Lu Xiangsheng's place.

"Governor Lu!"

Zheng Zhong, the eunuch of Xichang who rushed over from all over the world, saw Lu Xiangsheng, his eyes lit up, he rode up to Lu Xiangsheng, and said, "Our family has found you."

"Eunuch Zheng?"

Lu Xiangsheng, who had seen the person clearly, said with doubts on his brows.

"Governor Lu still remembers our family." Zheng Zhong said with a smile: "I won't say any more, our family has passed the secret decree to Governor Lu according to the emperor's order."

After saying that, he got off his horse and took out the secret decree from his arms. Seeing this, Lu Xiangsheng quickly got off his horse, which made all the accompanying generals panic.

It's just that the current disaster situation is serious, and according to the rules of etiquette, all of them are exempted. This is the words of Emperor Chongzhen himself.

"Northern Zhili Disaster Relief Office?"

Under the watchful eyes of Zheng Zhong and the others, after reading the secret decree, Lu Xiangsheng frowned and said: "Your Majesty's move is wise, and the disaster relief matter is separated from the court and the local government. It's contained."

Recalling all the way south from Baoding Mansion, especially after arriving at Guangping Mansion, Lu Xiangsheng felt extremely disgusted with some local officials.

"Governor Lu, the emperor said that the disaster relief in Zhili belongs to the Qing family alone." Zheng Zhong stepped forward and said after seeing Lu Xiangsheng finished watching the secret performance.

"When it comes to the disaster relief administration, the Qing family should pay more attention to the recruiting of officials. Through the disaster relief work, we must hone a group of talents for the country.

To win them over well, these honed talents will be the Qing family's reliance in governing the region in the future, and it will be the place to share the country's worries.

Regarding the food and salaries needed for disaster relief, I have sent the Military Aircraft Department, Jinyiwei, and Xichang to escort them, and they will arrive in the disaster area in a few days.

I know that Qing's family is not easy. I hope that during the disaster relief period, Qing's family can take care of their health and share my worries. "

Hearing Zheng Zhong's edict from the Son of Heaven, Lu Xiangsheng's expression was a little moved, and he bowed in the direction of the capital and saluted, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will do my best to share the worries of Your Majesty and the country!"

Originally, in Lu Xiangsheng's heart, he was somewhat uncertain about the disaster relief in Zhili. After all, the bulk of the disaster relief was food and wages.

However, under the arrangement of Emperor Chongzhen, the Northern Zhili Disaster Relief Office was set up to recruit local students and allocate food and salaries for disaster relief.

This made Lu Xiangsheng's heart stabilized.

As long as there is this disaster relief food and salary, things after that will be much easier to handle. At that time, Lu Xiangsheng had a high fighting spirit!
