The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Xu Wan was probably a little cautious. She had already known that she was pregnant through her menstrual period. At this time, she was just happy and there was no accident.

Liu Sheng was a little surprised.

Although going back more than forty days, he did stay at Xu Wan's place several times, but considering Xu Wan's age, he basically saved it at the last minute.

It was only one night, and I had a lot of fun. I restarted the game and didn't hold anything back.

Unexpectedly, he hit the target at once?

If so, it can only be said to be fate.

Liu Sheng saw Xu Wan's pretty face blushing with joy under the light of the fireworks, and suddenly thought of Li Lingfei.

Sure enough, this little girl was feeling sad.

After the New Year, this little girl is one year older. After more than a year of development, her body has become more mature.

Nanjing Medical College and Nanjing Hospital have also made great achievements in gynecology research.

For example, in terms of midwifery, he has taught me the forceps and other tools, as well as strengthened the awareness of disinfection. (Let me mention here that it is not necessary to use forceps. Depending on the situation, try not to use it if possible.)
Therefore, Liu Sheng considered that maybe he would not have to hold back on Li Lingfei in the future...
By the end of the first year, An's concubine Zheng Haizhu was also pregnant.

This was a double happiness for Liu Sheng.

Soon, Liu Sheng issued an order to promote concubine Li to concubine Li and concubine An to concubine An, so that the two girls could take good care of their children.

Although there were frequent reports of happy events in the harem, Liu Sheng's attention was not on the harem, but on state affairs.

The first lunar month has not yet passed, and there are signs of drought again in Hubei. Some prefectures and counties have not seen rain for more than half a month.

Because these places were only dry and cold last year without much snowfall, the drought scope tends to expand as the weather gets warmer.

Liu Sheng immediately ordered the Government Affairs Council and relevant prefectures and counties in Hubei to take measures to prevent drought and locusts.

There are now 14 provinces in Dalei, so disasters are naturally not limited to Hubei. If you include some small natural disasters, it can even be said that there are places affected by disasters every once in a while.

However, small disasters can generally be dealt with without him paying too much attention.

What Liu Sheng and the Damei court needed to pay attention to were some major disasters.

Wenhua Hall.

Liu Sheng convened a meeting with the minister of military aircraft and officials such as ministers and ministers from relevant departments to discuss disaster prevention and disaster relief preparations.

“According to local reports, if there are no accidents, droughts are likely to occur in Jingzhou, Jingmen (formerly Chengtianfu), Shizhou (Shizhouwei) and other areas, as well as in eastern Guizhou, this year.

The minister believes that orders should be issued to urge these places to build more water conservancy facilities such as ditches, wells, and reservoirs to prepare for droughts. "

This was said by Li Changwen.

Li Banghua immediately said, "I'm afraid it's not enough to just give an order. It would be better to send an imperial envoy to the local area to inspect and supervise."

The palace was quiet for a while, because this involved a new position, or the issue of which official from which department in the court should be the imperial envoy.

Liu Sheng pondered for a while and said: "Let the Special Affairs Department of the Supervisory Council select three censors to form three special affairs teams and go to Jingzhou and other places to supervise drought prevention and relief."

"Yes." Fan Jingwen responded.

Fan Jingwen is from Jiangxi. He was a Jinshi in the 41st year of Wanli. He is already fifty-eight this year.

Historically, it was not long after Fan Jingwen entered the cabinet in the 17th year of Chongzhen that he could not save the crisis. After the Shun army broke through Beijing, he threw himself into a well and died for his country.

In fact, Fan Jingwen's official career was similar to that of Li Banghua, with several ups and downs - in the middle, he kept filial piety for his parents for a few years and Ding You. In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, he angered Chongzhen because he interceded with Huang Daozhou and deprived him of his official status. In the summer of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, he Reinstated to his original position.

At this time and space, due to the obstruction of the anti-Ming forces such as the Wei tribe, the Ming court's decree to revive Fan Jingwen did not reach Jiangxi, and the city of Beijing was captured by the Shun army.

Therefore, after Li Banghua and other opposition Ming officials from Jiangxi Province successively defected to Da'ei, Fan Jingwen also followed suit.

Liu Sheng looked at Fan Jingwen's resume and found that he had held many positions in the Ming court, such as local promotion official, head of the Ministry of Personnel, Yuanwai Lang, Lang Zhong, Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, governor of Henan, minister of the Ministry of War, and Minister of the Ministry of War.

Although most of them were practical positions, after comprehensive consideration, Liu Sheng still appointed him as the censor of Zuodu, the Inspectorate.

Speaking of which, the Damei Inspectorate is different from the Ming Dynasty's "Capital Inspectorate".

However, the names of some of the following official positions are the same.

At the top are the left and right envoys, who oversee the affairs of the Inspectorate.

There are also several deputy capital envoys in charge of affairs. It consists of five departments: General Affairs, Supervision, Integrity, Legal Inspection, and Special Affairs.

The General Affairs Department is responsible for the personnel, logistics, miscellaneous affairs, etc. of the department.

The provincial inspectors are also under the jurisdiction of the General Affairs Department.

The Directorate is responsible for supervising the implementation of various government affairs at the court and local level, such as progress, effects, etc., and covers many aspects such as civil affairs, finance, transportation, patrol police, and health.

The Department of Integrity, as its name suggests, specializes in combating corruption.

The Justice Department, as the name suggests, specializes in detecting illegal activities by officials, and mainly supervises the Criminal Trial Department.

The Special Affairs Department is generally responsible for matters designated by the court (Liu Sheng), forming a special affairs team to handle special affairs.

Therefore, although the Da'ei Inspectorate still has official positions such as the Imperial Envoy and the Royal Historian, it cannot participate in central government affairs at will like the previous Ming Dynasty.

They can only monitor the implementation of government affairs, monitor whether officials are lazy and corrupt, and monitor other specific matters.

Because of this, the chief officer of the Inspectorate's voice became much quieter in the central court of Da'ei.

The meeting of the Military Council definitely has nothing to do with the Inspectorate.

Fan Jingwen and others could only attend the meeting at the Government Affairs Council if they were summoned by Liu Sheng.

It can be said that it became a sword used by Liu Sheng to monitor officials and all aspects of government affairs.

Of course, this sword has just been made and is not yet sharp.

It will take a few years of hard work, and when Liu Sheng carefully sorts out the internal affairs, it will show its strength...

“In addition to the drought in Hubei this year, major floods may also occur in Northern Zhili, Southern Zhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Guangdong and other places. Local officials also need to step up the construction of water conservancy facilities.

Measures to deal with floods must also be taken well - even if a disaster does occur, we must try our best to reduce casualties and property losses. "

After talking about the drought, Liu Sheng talked about the flood.

When talking about the late Ming Dynasty, many people are impressed by the "Chongzhen Drought".

Namely, a severe drought that probably occurred between 1637 and 1643.

This severe drought first started in the Shaanxi-Gansu region in the northwest, and later affected Shanxi, Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Huguang, and later Jiangsu.

The drought lasted for more than five years!
If you look closely, you will find that this drought seems to move.

The drought was most severe in Shaanxi and Gansu at first, and then became less severe in Shaanxi and Gansu. The drought in Shanxi, Hebei, Henan, and Shandong was particularly severe.

After these places have alleviated the drought, the drought in Huguang and Jiangsu has become serious again.

In the final analysis, it was all climate anomalies caused by the Little Ice Age.

Drought in the north and floods in the south are all aggravated.

Therefore, during the same period, floods and wind disasters often occurred in Jiangnan, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and even the Guangdong and Guangxi areas of the Ming Dynasty.

In this time and space, the climate did not change significantly due to Liu Sheng's travel.

According to Liu Sheng’s understanding, the severe drought areas last year moved south to Hubei, Hunan, and Huainan areas in Dawei.

On the other hand, Shaanxi and Gansu are hardly drought-affected.

The same is true for Shanxi and Hebei.

Therefore, Liu Sheng speculated that floods may occur in the north, especially Hebei, this year.

Because the Hebei area is not only a large plain, but also crisscrossed by rivers. It was originally a swamp area thousands of years ago, so floods are a normal phenomenon.

Even in later generations, floods occurred in Hebei from time to time.

Knowing this, Liu Sheng certainly asked court officials and local officials to take preventive and response measures in advance.

Finally, he added: “In addition to taking measures to prevent and respond to floods, Hebei also needs to strictly guard against the outbreak of plague and other diseases.

The same applies to Shandong, Henan, and Huainan - the health bureaus in these places should be more vigilant..." (End of Chapter)
