Chapter 377 The key to invincibility

"Dala Ma Bala abandoned Guanzhong and Hanzhong and headed west..." Zhao Shi put down the memorial and chuckled.

"Why are you laughing?" Zhao Sheng asked.

Zhao Shi asked back: "What will you do if you change places?"

Zhao Sheng replied: "I will fight a bloody battle, at least wait for a checkpoint to be red slope before leaving, so as not to fight unintentionally next time."

"That's right, I didn't waste time in the army." Zhao Shi praised.

Running directly, of course, is to preserve strength, but it is a critical blow to the morale of the people. It is really hard to say how much fighting power they will be able to exert in the next encounter.

"Father." Zhao Sheng couldn't help but ask: "Yesterday, I had a debate with my classmates. As for the key to why Master Wang was able to win many battles, some thought it was because of weapons, some thought it was the father's sage, and some thought it was the country's good general. There are many, I think they are all right, but they are not all complete. Could the father help the child solve his doubts?"

"Well, of course it's because of your father, Shengming." Zhao Shi smiled and said, "I think when you first ascended the throne, you immediately cleared the big households and redistributed the land, which won the hearts of the people.

Since ancient times, the so-called people are nobles and powerful gentry, and the people in the fields, workshops, factories and mines are not counted.

This is a taboo for emperors to govern their country.

Peasants constitute [-]% of the world's population. Whoever gets their support will be invincible.

You can study the cases of previous battles. Whenever we were defeated after a sigh of relief, we persisted because the soldiers knew that they were defeated and their families immediately returned to dire straits.

And the common people always spare no effort to cultivate for themselves, no matter whether they are paid by the government or kept by the farmers, the food will be there, so there is no shortage of food in the country.

If the army is well-prepared and the food is sufficient, the world will be invincible.

Therefore, after you become the emperor, you must remember to provide farmers with benefits as much as possible.

Nowadays, with the rapid development of science and technology in our country, a new group has emerged, that is, workers.

Over time, workers may account for [-]% or more of the total population. Moreover, they are good at division of labor and collaboration, and are more organized than farmers. They are a group worth buying. "

Zhao Sheng secretly remembered it in his heart and asked: "Father, if we pursue with the cavalry army, it is very likely that we will leave Dala Ma Bala behind. Why don't we pursue him?"

"The first task of Guochao is to restore the Central Plains, and Mongolia's westward migration is beneficial to this.

In the past 20 years, the war has continued, and the domestic population has hardly changed. 20 years later, efforts will be made to double the population, which will be time for the Western Expedition.

The Mongols have given us a ready-made route, so just follow it, and you can also gain some foundation in Chinese language. " Zhao Shi replied.

Zhao Sheng nodded and suddenly frowned.

I always feel that the emperor wants to give up his son, but I am afraid that it is only because the prince is still young that he cannot succeed.

Looking at the uncertain face of the eldest son, Zhao Shi felt it was amused. Just as he was about to tease him, Yu Ji came in and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, Liangzhe Road is urgently reported. On the sixth day of July, the coastal area of ​​Liangzhe Road was hit by a severe storm. , the sea tide poured in in many places, and the wind disaster was particularly severe."

"What? What are the local officials doing?" Zhao Sheng jumped up.

"Don't be impatient." Zhao Shi glanced at his eldest son and said, "A natural disaster cannot be prevented by human power. The top priority is to organize rescue."

"Father, what should we do?" Zhao Sheng asked.

"Let Chen Yue, the censor Zhongcheng, be the disaster relief ambassador to supervise the relief and reconstruction work." After Zhao Shi gave the order, he said to his eldest son: "You and your aunt go to comfort the victims together."

"My child takes orders." Zhao Sheng was eager to give it a try.

"Don't worry." Zhao Shi said: "When you arrive in the disaster area, follow Liu Junfu's arrangements and don't make any arbitrary claims." "Father, don't worry, the child will definitely remember." Zhao Sheng agreed.

After the imperial edict was issued, Chen Yue received the scepter and took the eldest princess and the prince south along the canal.

Historically, Chen Yue lived in seclusion in the countryside. When the imperial examination was held in the Yuan Dynasty, the local government forced him to participate but he could not participate. Now, from the editor of the Academy of National History to the censor Zhongcheng, Chuan is a good talk in the officialdom.

Just when he was taking the prince south, in Taizhou City, Liu Junfu, the general manager of the Liangzhe Road, had one head and two heads.

The coast was hit by sea water, houses collapsed, people were displaced, and many people died. In places that were not flooded, the wind disaster was also severe.

Simple disaster relief is not the problem.

As the center of the canal in the south, Hangzhou has a large collection of money and food, which is enough for disaster relief. However, the wind and rain have not stopped, and the waves of the rivers are constantly rolling. It is difficult for large and small ships to cross the river, and food supplies cannot be transported.

Although Fujian was not affected by the disaster, the sea route was cut off and the land route was blocked by rain, so it was not possible to relieve the emergency.

The only good thing is that he went to Taizhou for inspection instead of staying in Hangzhou. Otherwise, without unified dispatch, disaster relief would be more difficult.

"Rui'an Mansion is the center of the storm, so the disaster is bound to be serious, and reinforcements are urgent. In this way, let the boats go upstream, cross the river at the place where Fenglang Xiaode is, and then go south by land." Liu Junfu said.

"Boss, it took so long, I'm afraid the time has not yet come for the wind and rain to stop." Deng Mingyun, the magistrate of Taizhou, persuaded.

There is indeed such a possibility.

"We can't just wait and divide the troops into two groups." Liu Junfu thought for a while and added: "Where the order is sent, the people will be rewarded [-] yuan for rescuing a person, and [-] yuan for rescuing a person. Each county will register it according to the truth. I would rather someone take credit. There must be no shortage. If someone dies while saving others, he will be compensated as a martyr."

When the officials heard this, they were all shocked.

This is not a solution that ordinary officials can come up with.

Everyone follows the same order when doing things. Even if there is no corvee now, isn’t saving people a traditional virtue?
Liu Junfu is unusual.

He initially served as the county magistrate during Du Zong's time, but the government was corrupted and the country's decline was irreversible. So he resigned and returned to his hometown, instead engaged in business, and accumulated considerable family assets.

After he got rich, he set up education to benefit the village. He was much more powerful than ordinary local tyrants. After Jiang Wanzai regained Quanzhou, he immediately sent [-] shi of military rations and became the general manager of logistics.

It is this experience that makes him very flexible in spending money.

"Overseas immigrants spend an average of [-] guan per person. Now I save one person with [-] guan. How cost-effective it is?" Liu Junfu analyzed to everyone: "Now that the water is dangerous, you have to be tempted by heavy profits, just like Zigong collecting cattle.

There are only 30 coastal people. If they can be saved with 15 yuan, what's the point? "

Anyway, the two Zhejiang roads are prosperous. It is easy to come up with 15 yuan, and it is not stressful. The big deal is to ask the emperor for reimbursement.

So messengers went around to inform the people of the decision of the General Manager.

Sure enough, people who were hesitant to take part in the rescue went out one after another.

When Zhao Sheng arrived at the Qiantang River, the wind stopped and the rain stopped, and he went south to Taizhou smoothly.

Hearing Liu Junfude's decision, he was equally shocked, but because of the emperor's instructions, he didn't ask any more questions and continued to Wenzhou.

Wenzhou is where the storm is, and the disaster is the worst. However, as the storm has passed, post-disaster cleanup has begun.
