Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 628 Governor Yunyang
"Let's talk about it. There is an earth dragon turning over in Shaanxi. How to deal with this matter?" In Dongnuan Pavilion, Zhu Youxiao looked seriously at the cabinet ministers who rushed to the imperial court.

"The earth dragon turned over under the rule of Shaanxi, which affected Pingliang and Longde counties, Zhenrong, Pinglu and other places, Magang, Shuangfeng and other forts. If we don't step up disaster relief, I'm afraid there will be chaos in Shaanxi, and once Shaanxi If there is chaos, it will definitely affect the stability of the northwest border! "

What an eventful time!
When Zhu Guozuo, Bi Ziyan, Wang Xiangqian and others heard this, they all secretly sighed in their hearts, why did the disaster happen at this time? !

"Your Majesty, the top priority right now is disaster relief."

Bi Ziyan calmed down his mind, stepped forward and bowed: "I think we can provide disaster relief in northern Zhili, Shandong, Henan and other places, and put the disaster relief and emergency response departments under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu, so I sent officials to Shaanxi urgently. At the same time, Lu Zhaoxiong, the governor of Shaanxi Province, was given a strict order to assist the above-mentioned departments in implementing the work-for-relief program.”

"How to provide disaster relief food?"

Zhu Youxiao said calmly: "Shaanxi is far away from the hinterland of the Central Plains and far from Beizhili. No matter where the funds are allocated from, I'm afraid the losses along the way will be huge!"

Bi Ziyan fell silent.

In fact, for him, the financial minister of the Ming Dynasty, he would rather have a disaster like an earth dragon turn over to happen closer to the center than have it happen in the northwest or southwest.

Because the geographical environment of the two places is too complex and steep, the loss of the same stone of grain transported to the plains is different from that of transported to the northwest or southwest.

"Right now, we can only raise funds from Henan, Huguang and other places."

Bi Ziyan was silent for a moment, frowned and said: "All the way to Shaanxi via Tongguan, and all the way to Shaanxi via Yunyang. The money needed for disaster relief needs to be sent to a special person to be responsible for it."

"It's too complicated and too slow."

Zhu Youxiao frowned and said: "If disaster relief and emergency relief are to be transported in batches like this, I'm afraid that the disaster relief grains will be transported to Shaanxi, and people in the disaster-stricken areas will be filled with resentment."

"What's more, the disaster in Henan has just subsided. Even though the autumn grain is coming soon, there are still many places in Henan that need grain."

"Let Sun Chuanting be in charge. He holds the important post of grain supervisor. The grain reserves under Hanzhong are still sufficient. Let's first transfer some of them to Shaanxi for emergency use."

"In view of the complicated situation in Sichuan, Guizhou, Shaanxi and other places, Sun Chuanting, the governor of Yunyang, is fully responsible for the military rations needed by Sichuan and Guizhou to quell the rebellion and the disaster relief food needed by Shaanxi."

"Your Majesty, you can't!"

He Zongyan heard this and stepped forward to admonish him: "Now Governor Yang Shuzhong of Yunyang has made no mistakes during his tenure. If he is dismissed like this, it may damage the dignity of the imperial court."

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

Qian Qianyi and Sun Ruyou agreed.

There was a disaster in Shaanxi. Just to provide disaster relief, Governor Yunyang was dismissed and replaced by Sun Chuanting. No matter how you say this, it doesn't make sense.

"With Yang Shuzhong, he went to Beijing to take up a post."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "That's it. The only one who can allocate disaster relief food to Shaanxi as soon as possible is Hanzhong Prefecture. What I want now is to calm the disaster." Zhu Youxiao said this, leaving He Zongyan and the others at a loss what to say. Something.

It's just that some people don't know that Zhu Youxiao has been thinking about promoting Sun Chuanting to be the governor of Yunyang for a long time, including the fact that Li Qiyuan was transferred from the governor of the three sides and the vacant position was prepared for Sun Chuanting.

This is a holistic deployment.

Let’s talk about the Governor of Yunyang first. He has jurisdiction over Hanzhong Prefecture, Shangzhou under Xi’an Prefecture, and Yunyang Prefecture under Huguang. This area is the intersection of Jingxiang, Qinba and Qinba areas. It is to strengthen the rule of the area. After all, there are too many people living here. It’s complicated. The key is that the terrain is still very complicated.

After the establishment of Yunyang Governor, the Huguang Xingdu Command and Envoy Department was also established. The strategic position of this region was further highlighted. It pillowed Qin and Ba, controlled Sichuan and Shaanxi, strangled Henan and Hubei, and moved in from the west to the east, so that the border areas of the wilderness were continuously centralized. , allowing Qin, Ba, Jing and Xiang to be condensed into a complete administrative block, forming an administrative and military key point with Yunyang City as the center!
Let Sun Chuanting take over as governor of Yunyang, in addition to increasing local administrative qualifications, it is also to further develop Hanzhong Prefecture and gain momentum for future development of the northwest.

Gather the power of the intersection of Qin, Ba, Jing and Xiang and make every effort to develop the Hanzhong Basin. When the intensive handicraft manufacturing industry in this area can develop to a certain scale, it will have an impact on the northwest, southwest and other places.

After this matter is completed, Sun Chuanting's abilities have been demonstrated and his qualifications have been accumulated, then he can take over as governor of Shaanxi, which will radiate to the northwest region.

No one knows better than Zhu Youxiao how many disasters will hit the northwest region in the long term.

If we don’t make some preparations in advance and rely solely on disaster relief to solve the problem in the northwest, once there is any deviation in the process, what awaits the court will be endless civil unrest and turmoil!
Because of Zhu Youxiao's clear overall deployment of the northwest, Sun Chuanting will have to stay in the northwest for at least ten years. This is still the shortest period. When Sun Chuanting can take the position of governor of the three sides and the imperial court solves some problems in the northwest, then Sun Chuanting can Returned to Beijing to take up a post.

Not everyone wants to stay in a bitter cold place like the northwest.

However, the development and governance of the northwest requires a long-term pillar of the northwest, otherwise the policy will not be continued at all. Changes in orders overnight are too common in official circles.

Therefore, apart from Sun Chuanting, who was suitable, Zhu Youxiao really couldn't think of anyone else to come.

The group of pillars that Zhu Youxiao relies on have taken different paths as time goes by. When will they come together? This is something that even Zhu Youxiao cannot predict. After all, it has to be solved There are too many evils and cancers.

"Your Majesty, the national treasury may not be able to raise money and food for disaster relief in Shaanxi in a short period of time." When Zhu Youxiao was sighing with emotion, Bi Ziyan hesitated for a long time and finally explained the actual situation.

"Temporarily allocate part of it from internal funds, and ask Sun Chuanting to settle part of it." Zhu Youxiao sighed softly, looked at Bi Ziyan and said: "If there is still a difference, the treasury will find a way to squeeze it out."

"The minister obeys the order."

Bi Ziyan bowed and responded.

Being the financial minister of the Ming Dynasty is really not an easy job. Looking at Bi Ziyan's tired face, Zhu Youxiao didn't know the pressure Bi Ziyan was under.

Furthermore, to be able to get Bi Ziyan to speak these words means that Bi Ziyan really has no way to squeeze out, so Bi Ziyan can no longer be forced.

Bi Ziyan, the Ming Dynasty's financial minister, must be at least ten years old, otherwise rashly replacing him with someone else will only make all the previous efforts in vain.

There are too many things that can't be solved by just talking. This requires down-to-earth steps every step of the way before we can see corresponding results over time.
