The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 173 Cancer
"What's the problem with Aiqing?" Zhao Huan said to Zhu Shengfei.

Zhu Shengfei hesitated for a moment, and said to Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty, the grain in Zhejiang is basically controlled by the Ma family. Now that we want to buy grain from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, we probably have to say hello to them."

Zhao Huan frowned, and said to Zhu Shengfei: "Does this matter of buying grain need me to personally intervene?"

After all, the emperor is the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. If he is still needed to say hello to such a trivial matter of buying food, it will indeed be a bit of a waste of value.

However, Zhu Shengfei showed embarrassment, and said to Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty, the Ma family has not been easy to deal with. I'm afraid they won't give you face."

Zhao Huan frowned and said, "In a place as big as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, don't you have to buy food from the Ma family?"

Zhu Shengfei smiled wryly, and said to Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty does not know, although the Ma family is not the only one in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but you have to go through the Ma family if you want to buy grain. The food is sold to me."

Zhao Huan stared at Zhu Shengfei in front of him, the expression on his face was somewhat unpredictable.

Zhu Shengfei hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Ma family will naturally not challenge our court in person, but if they want to buy grain, I'm afraid they still need your Majesty's approval."

Zhao Huan frowned and said, "Why haven't I heard of such things before?"

Zhu Shengfei said: "In the past, the grains stored in the counties of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were used, but they did not go through the Ma family. This time, the grains stored in the counties of Jiangsu and Zhejiang were obviously not enough to cope with the flood, so now we need to buy grain from the Ma family."

"When did this merchant's status become so lofty in my court?" Zhao Huan couldn't help asking.

"Your Majesty, in fact, this Ma family is not completely a businessman. The contemporary great scholar Ma Boyong is a member of the Ma family." Zhu Shengfei said to Zhao Huan.

Ma Boyong, Zhao Huan knows the name of this person, but he has never seen it. In fact, the big merchants at this time will eventually have a relationship with the court. Scholars come, and then have money as a backing, these people will naturally rise to the top.

After someone in the family becomes an official, they can in turn protect the family's business. In this way, the two promote each other, and if the family survives for several generations, it will naturally become the current family.

The six great families of the Song Dynasty have been passed down for a hundred years from the Taizu Emperor Zhao Kuangyin, and now they seem to have become local snakes controlling the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Now that the new emperor hastily ascended the throne, the members of the six major families were unable to find out the details of Zhao Huan. The current situation was nothing more than testing how Zhao Huan should deal with it.

Zhao Huan's eyes turned cold for a moment, and then he said to Zhu Shengfei, "This Ma family is really good at life."

Zhu Shengfei could hear the irony in Zhao Huan's words, so he didn't dare to continue.

At this time, Zhao Huan felt as if he was being choked by the family. As Zhu Shengfei said, the Ma family might not really want to fight against the imperial court, but at this time the emperor's approval was required. A gold medal to avoid death, so that the royal family will not be able to take action against their Ma family in the future, otherwise they will definitely be condemned by this writer.

The Ma family has made contributions to the imperial court. If Zhao Huan kills the donkey in the future, he will definitely be condemned by those pedantic Confucian scholars.

"The matter of the disaster victims is of great importance, and there is no need to delay for a moment. With my approval document, you will first raise the food, and then send it to the disaster area immediately." Zhao Huan said, Zhao Huan did not hesitate about this matter.

The Ma family didn't know that their self-conceited clever approach did not bring any protection to the family. On the contrary, it had already strengthened Zhao Huan's idea of ​​getting rid of these aristocratic families.

Of course, Zhao Huan hadn't done anything yet, so these aristocratic families were still safe, but for the Song Dynasty to develop, these aristocratic families were cancerous tumors that needed to be dug out one by one.

Zhu Shengfei didn't expect that Zhao Huan would issue the approval document so quickly. He thought that he would need to spend some time to persuade him. After all, in Zhu Shengfei's view, Zhao Huan is a hegemonic emperor. Also troublesome.

"After the grain is distributed, let the localities immediately open warehouses to release grain. The amount of grain released does not need to be too much, but as long as there is a little every day, everyone will see hope and there will be no big troubles." Zhao Huan Said to Zhu Shengfei.

Zhu Shengfei hurriedly recorded it.

In this era, these people cannot be expected to have any concept of hygiene. Zhao Huan continued: "After a catastrophe, the most important thing is to prevent the occurrence of epidemics. Disasters such as cholera and plague are most likely to occur in the At this time, it is spreading, let me tell you a few points, you must pay attention to the following counties."

"Divide a special area in the distance where the victims gather. Once you find someone with symptoms such as fever or cough, you must go to the special area to isolate them as soon as possible, and let the doctor diagnose and treat this group of people in time. If someone is really infected with the disease, with the doctor's treatment, the epidemic will not spread, and the victims will not become panic."

"Usually seeing the death of some rats, etc., we must throw them far away and bury them, and we must not let them be exposed in the wilderness. On this point, the state and county officials must take the lead in taking action, and at the same time publicize it to the common people. It is a source of the spread of the plague."

……

Zhao Huan said a few points in a row. These were places that Zhu Shengfei had never thought of before. Zhu Shengfei carefully recorded them beside him. Now he is even more curious, how does his majesty know the knowledge of disaster relief, especially Hearing what he said was so logical, it seemed like he had really commanded disaster relief before.

Zhao Huan naturally didn't know how to control this disaster, but the Celestial Dynasty in later generations is also an eventful year, and catastrophes such as snow disasters and earthquakes often occur, so he naturally knows a lot about some things after the disaster. The concept of disaster relief is absolutely advanced in this dynasty.

"Your Majesty is sympathetic to all the people. It is really a blessing for the common people. Your Majesty's remarks are really shocking, and we are deeply ashamed." Zhu Shengfei couldn't help flattering him.

After Zhu Shengfei left, Zhao Huan frowned, took out six pieces of bamboo, and gently engraved words on them, Ma's family, Zhang's family... The bamboo slices carved in Zhao Huan's hands were impressively famous in the Song Dynasty. Six great families.
