At the end of this memorial, Wang Ju reminded another thing.

After summer begins, rain begins to fall in the north. Although the autumn harvest is soaked, this is a good thing.

However, there are two things to be noted. This drought is very serious, and the ground in many places is cracked. Including the Yellow River embankment, it has also been sunk for many days. Then the rain suddenly comes, which will easily lead to problems.

If the people don’t want to go home before they come home, and then the Yellow River breaks the dam, the people will be miserable.

The second thing is that the drought has not ended. On the contrary, it gradually shifts to the Huai River and Yangtze River. Don’t ask about the southeast, there is no drought. In addition to some underwater fields or paddy fields near the river, if the rain does not rain for a long time, a large area of ​​arable land in the southeast will also be affected by drought.

We must prepare for the future and raise some food and grass from the south road of Jinghu, Bashu, and transport it to the southeast.

Even if the drought is not serious, it can be transferred to Hebei to provide relief to the victims.

At this time, you can’t plan to waste it, life is at stake!

"There will be drought in the southeast?" Zhao Xu thought with a headache.

The southeast refers to Liangzhe Road, where is the large granary and money warehouse of the Song Dynasty.

This is the first memorial, including the books being packed in a thick paper bag, and then when it comes to what Zhao Xu is going to ask. That is the second memorial, placed in the second paper bag.

Wang Ju first explained the reasons why sea tourists migrated to the people.

Earlier, Wang Ju's attention and reminder, some seamen turned to the southeast of the South China Sea with drilling boats. As Wang Ju said.

Because the people here are ignorant, they do not know the preciousness of spices, jade and corals, of course, this means that there is a huge profit margin.

However, the words were not spoken, and most people were very fierce. Many tribes even liked to eat human flesh and fell into their hands. They were immediately swallowed by these indigenous people. The distance was very far away. If it was far away, some supply points must be arranged on the road. These supply points must have safe havens and some places where crops can be planted. First, it is to provide emergency relief for the fleet and provide supplies. Second, it is to build some lighthouses and point out the waterway.

Especially at the end of the channel, there is no large land, which seems to be three times the area of ​​the Song Dynasty. And the climate seems to be very similar, but because it is in the southern hemisphere, the seasons are exactly the opposite. This season doesn’t matter, mainly because the climate is similar, which means that people are prone to survival.

Then they discovered a large number of coral reefs, jade ores and copper and iron ore deposits in the local area.

Whether it is mining and planting transactions or defending against the harm of local indigenous people, a large number of people are needed. They can only migrate from the Song Dynasty.

It just so happened that Wang Ju went to Quanzhou, and these savvy tourists gave feedback one by one, and Wang Ju expressed his support.

Now some people have moved. Although there are many households, not every household has gone to. Some have gone to one person, and some have two people. Wang Ju didn't say how many people they have gone to.

Not to mention that continent is three times larger than that of the Song Dynasty, there are several large islands equivalent to the area of ​​the Song Dynasty, and dozens of islands equivalent to the size of a state in the Song Dynasty. No matter how many tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people migrated, these people are scattered in such a large area, almost as if they have not migrated.

Therefore, the people today are very precious to these hikers, so there is no need to worry about being harsh.

Wang Ju also talked about sea ships. In addition to small sea ships and fishing boats, there are more than 380 medium and large sea ships registered in Quanzhou with more than 1,000 materials, and the ship owners have a total of more than 920 people.

The number of ship owners is greater than the number of ships because many ships were built in partnership with multiple companies.

Wang Ju supported them and guided them, which led to many ship owners assisting Wang Ju in making this righteous act. However, these ship owners not only included Quanzhou, but also seamen from Guangzhou and Hangzhou.

What Wang Ju said is basically true. I can only say that some people have not said it deliberately, for example, among so many ship owners, there are actually many empty households, non-existent household owners! Otherwise, what should I do? He will drown him even if he spits.

There are indeed some ship owners who benefited from it to help Wang Ju make this righteous act, but the main one is the ten merchants in Yanzhou and Wang Ju's fleet. This cannot be said.

Otherwise, this wealth will be remembered, otherwise this righteous act will be said to be a greedy person, and Zhao Xu is also a suspicious person.

Then Wang Ju also deliberately drew a large sea chart.

There are many errors in this chart. After all, the official operation time is not too long, but the accuracy rate is close to 70%. The general direction is drawn. And the locations for resettlement of these immigrants were drawn. Although the chart is large, these immigrant areas are too small to almost no one can see.

Finally, Wang Jucai expressed his thoughts.

Immigration may not be a bad thing, but many scholars and officials do not understand it, and some unnecessary controversy will inevitably arise.

If the court really agrees, in order to avoid unnecessary disputes, please make sure to make several requirements. First, you must sign an agreement with the maritime merchants in accordance with the "harsh" conditions between Wang Ju and the maritime merchants.

The second time the people moved were the people on Jingdong Road and Hebei Road, and there were more disputes, so they had to be under the sixth grade to agree to their migration.

The Song Dynasty began to divide only five levels of households, but the income of each household below the fifth grade was very different. So it was divided into five levels to five levels, and the fifth grade had some property and some private land. However, starting from the sixth grade, it was actually a poor citizen, and it was difficult for them to contribute taxes to the country. Even those below the seventh grade households would have to subsidize subsidies even if they migrated. If these people migrated, the controversy would be less. After all, they could not contribute much taxes, and this migration in turn gave them a way out.

And it happened to be time. I followed the boat to the other side, and it was spring there. When Zhao Xu saw this, he expressed a headache because it was autumn here in the Song Dynasty.

That's just the right time to catch up with the planting season.

If these people leave, the country will lose some of the pressure to rescue disasters.

The third seamen need the people very much, but they have a certain amount of wealth in their hands.

Therefore, for every household of migrants, they were asked to pay twenty trump cards, or twenty trump cards, in advance, to their relatives and friends. They could use this money to return to rebuild their homes. This would be equivalent to migrating one household and saving two households, which could further decompose the burden of the court and allow the people to recover from the disaster.

Zhao Xu looked at the memorial and thought to himself, this is not good.

After all, these maritime merchants performed really well this time. So much food was transported at high cost, and they took the initiative to help the victims.

Moreover, the conditions set by Wang Ju are already very harsh. Now the court does not thank you, but instead asks them to pay twenty cents of money. It is a bit too much.

In fact, Wang Ju just regarded it as a good deed.

And in this way, he also cleared his suspicion. Some of the Song Dynasty were smart people, and I believe that some people had doubted him, but there was no accurate evidence. Second, he was in Quanzhou, so he would not offend him. Otherwise, someone would have impeached him.

After Zhao Xu finished reading it, he summoned the important officials to Yanhe Palace to discuss.

After everyone saw it, they also knew that the person Wang Ju was attacking was Sima Guang, and these two people were also life-and-death rivals.

But I have to admit that what Wang Ju said is reasonable. Although 20,000 households migrated on Fujian Road, it is eye-catching. In fact, when this disaster comes, those who starve to death, those who sell children, those who have separated their wives and children, those who have been directly and indirectly, I don’t know how many people have died.

Sima Guang only attacked reforms, but what disaster relief measures were proposed? The more ferocious Lu Huiqing came to power. God has fallen into the rain?

However, due to Wang Ju's persuasion, at least one million victims would survive. If these victims would survive, the country could transfer food to other victims.

In fact, because of this kind act, the number of people saved may have far exceeded the number of people migrating in Quanzhou.

No matter how bad Wang Ju's temper is, he has to admit that he cares about the people very much. At least in this case, few officials can match it. It is probably related to his poor life when he was young.

But when it comes to the emperor, it is the edict.

The edict agreed to publicly migrate the people overseas?

So these big guys all expressed difficulties.

After a long discussion, I finally made an order, not the sixth-class household but the seventh-class household. The real poor people were allowed to migrate. At the same time, the twenty-sixth-class people were a little too much, making it like a court selling people. Therefore, it was changed to another statement. Every time a household was moved, a sea merchant was allowed to donate ten-sixth-class households, but it was not handed over to these moved relatives and friends, but to the court to help more disaster victims. And it was issued to Mizhou in the form of an oral edict.

Just understand it, you can't issue a clear edict...

But it was only for this verbal edict that he agreed to it for two reasons.

First, there are only more than 100 sea ships in Mizhou Port. How many people can carry them?

This is true. In the end, the autumn wind blew, and these ships left the Mizhou Port and took away more than 26,000 households and less than 80,000 people. Although the ships were large, they still had to carry cargo, so they could not take more people away.

Even so, some ministers felt inappropriate.

In fact, they were wrong and the oral edict made further restrictions. It was the people below the seventh grade household. Even if these people were not affected, what could the court expect them to do?

It is not more than 26,000 households. If you can take away 260,000 households this time, then you can take away half of the extremely poor households, and then all prefectures will be able to manage the land in the future. If you want to avoid the land shortage and reduce the merger, it is not 260,000 households, but 500,000 or 700,000 households to solve the crisis of land and merger between the two routes.

Although it made some ministers feel painful, another good news came. When the autumn wind arrived, the ships heading to Runzhou Port returned from Goryeo, Japan, with speeds that were beyond everyone's expectations.

It just doesn't bring much food.

In fact, you can also understand the reasons by looking through the records of each Maritime Bureau.

Imported goods in the Song Dynasty, including various spices, treasures, medicinal materials, cotton cloth, Korean silk, Korean secret colors (celadon), Korean ginseng, Japanese knife fans, various wood boards, sulfur, iron, fur goods, tendon corners, and glass, are basically all.

There are many exports, including ceramics, lacquerware, silk, cloth, books, various gold, silver, copper, iron and tin, as well as related products, copper coins, toys, combs, fans, umbrellas, musical instruments and other handicrafts, medicinal materials, tea, sugar, preserved fruit, wine, rice, salt... Anyway, most things can be sold, but foreign countries are poor, can't afford it, or there are not enough goods to trade.

So a situation arises, copper coins flow out.

The Song Dynasty was rich, so the Song Dynasty's copper coins were overwhelming, replacing local copper coins, and becoming hard currency for Japan, Goryeo, Jiaozhi and the South China Sea countries. In order to prevent this situation, some countries, including Japan, did not allow Song coins to enter, but because the quality of their own copper coins was not up to standard and the standards were different, currency chaos and economic shrinkage. So they had to let Song coins inflow in again. Some people lamented that "our country was still involved in the whirlpool of the Song coins economy in the ocean." In fact, the Song Dynasty wanted the money they minted themselves to work. This currency outflow made the Song Dynasty even more miserable.

But why are there wine, rice and salt?

Wine refers to high-end sake, which is also sold to Japan and Goryeo.

Salt is some salt-deficient areas. Although salt was very expensive in the Song Dynasty, it took advantage of the advantages of sea ships and could also exchange salt for more cargo.

This rice refers to Goryeo and Japan. These two countries have many mountains, few lands, and many people. The food is very tight. Once there is a disaster, the food prices will rise faster. Of course, this leads to transactions.

Therefore, there is not much food brought back from these two countries.

Moreover, drought began to occur in the southeast, so they flocked to Hangzhou and left it to the government for treatment.

At the same time, a batch of grain was transported from Jinghu Road and Bashu along the Yangtze River and transported to the southeast. The cost was a bit high, but it came in time. Runzhou Changzhou also suffered a severe drought after autumn.

Even some ministers who knew the truth lamented that Wang Ju, this kid, was as expected.

Another thing also proves Wang Ju's ability to predict things.

It rained, but it didn't actually fall much, and the drought in the north was not completely lifted.

However, the river bank was soaked in the sun, and finally a river bank collapsed. However, because the rain was not heavy, the river bank was not heavy.

Therefore, Wen Yanbo wrote in the memorial: "The river overflows and destroys the land of the people. The most are 60 villages, and the households reach 7,000 households. The few are 9 villages, and the households reach 4,600 households, and they are willing to pay rent and tax."

But Wen Yanbo exaggerated.

This is the boundary of Daming Prefecture, with a flat terrain, so there may be more than 4,600 households in the nine villages? Some large villages do have 500 households, but such large villages were very rare in the Song Dynasty. Even the big villages on the border, more than 500 households in a state can be counted with one slap. Moreover, there are nine villages together.

Besides, is it that more than 60 villages have suffered a disaster, or is it that 4,600 households in nine villages have suffered a disaster? There is no such big error.

Zhao Xu didn't care too much, since he was hit by the disaster, then let's stop his rent and taxes.

However, Wen Yanbo's intention was not to drink, nor was he exempted from the affected people. He was targeted at Cheng Fang.

Cheng Fang made a serious mistake and did not report it to the court if there was a flood.
