Chapter 569

Zhenwu nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, then looked at Shi Shilun and said with a smile: "Since the Zhili Governor's Office has moved to Tianjin, Tianjin should be promoted from prefecture to prefecture. Should you, the newly appointed Governor, do something practical for the people of Tianjin?"

Shi Shilun was slightly stunned. What does this mean? What are you going to do? After a second thought, he vaguely guessed the reason and was shocked. Could it be that there was a big spring drought this year? Is the emperor planning to use labor for relief? But Zhenwu did not say it clearly, so he had to pretend to be confused. He immediately bowed slightly and said, "I am Lu Du, please ask the emperor for advice."

Zhenwu smiled and said, "Go back and sort out and list all the things you want to do but have no money. I will choose one and the court will allocate you the silver to add to you, which is the icing on the cake."

Sure enough, there was a severe drought, Shi Shilun couldn't help but feel worried and hurriedly stood up and thanked him: "The emperor is generous and kind, and is a blessing for all people in the world. I am very pleased to thank the people of Tianjin for their kindness."

"Yeah." Zhenwu glanced at the two of them gently and said, "You two will kneel down first."

When Shi Shilun, Zhao Hongxie bowed and withdrew. Zhenwu took a sip of tea and found that it was already cold. He called out to the outside world: "Bao Fuquan, change the tea." Putting down the tea cup, he looked at Yinlu, Wu Ge and the other two, and smiled and said, "What is the training situation of these naval recruits?"

Wu Ge was responsible for the training of the navy from beginning to end. When Zhenwu asked, he hurriedly bowed slightly and said, "Back to the emperor, this group of new recruits have good quality. After a year of queues and live ammunition training, they can use firearms proficiently. All they lack is practical experience."

Zhenwu nodded slightly. After ascending the throne on the first day of the first lunar month, he ordered that all the naval recruits in Tianjin were trained in the form of Marines to prevent emergencies. It can be said that these ten thousand naval recruits were actually the army. After a moment of pondering, he said: "Since it has been one year since we have begun to recruit the second phase of recruits, the number of soldiers is still 10,000."

After a moment of saliva, he asked again: "Recruit another 10,000 soldiers. Can the academy arrange it?"

"Back to the emperor." Wu Ge bowed and said, "Tianjin Naval Academy was built at a scale of 30,000 troops. Now it has been basically completed, with 20,000 people, no problem at all."

"Okay." Zhenwu smiled and said, "I will assign you another 2,000 war horses. The navy is not a cavalry, but it must be able to ride a horse."

Wu Ge couldn't help but be stunned. What did the Navy learn to ride a horse? There were so many people. He was not easy to ask, so he bowed and said, "Slaves respect the order." He stood up slightly, and then continued, "The Eight Banners and the Big Children, and the Rich Children accounted for 40% of the new recruits, and they all rode horses."

"That's better, let them be the coaches of the Belt and Road." Zhenwu smiled and said, "The goal of the Beiyang Fleet is America. The region is vast and it's impossible to ride a horse."

It turned out to be preparing for the conquest of America, Wu Ge hurriedly bowed and said, "The emperor's holy thoughts are profound. The slaves must strictly supervise them."

Zhenwu said with a slight chin: "You kneel down first."

"Slave retreated." Wu Ge hurriedly got up and knelt down, bowed and retreated.

Yinlu couldn't help but look up at Zhenwu, feeling quite hesitant. I wonder if he should also retreat. Seeing his hesitation, Zhenwu couldn't help but smile and said with a smile: "Sixteenth brother stay for the time being." Then, he glanced at Zhang Penghong, Funing'an, Wang Xiangling, and Fang Bao, and restrained his smile and said in a deep voice: "The land of Qi, Lu, Shaanxi and Gansu in the north has been drought for nine years in ten years. Zhang Penghong, Funing'an, and drought every spring. As ministers in Shangshu, have you ever asked about it?"

Zhang Pengfeng and Fu Ning'an were both shocked. What does Zhenwu mean? Is it because of nine droughts in the north for ten years? Is it because it is because of human reasons? Is it implied that Kangxi's politics is not clear? This is impossible. The Qing Dynasty governed the world with filial piety, and the son did not say that his father was wrong. This is the most basic principle. It is not implied that Kangxi, but Zhenwu's words meant that he could only be prepared to find someone to take the blame.

Since Dong Zhongshu proposed that the view that "all disasters and misfortunes are born from the national losses", all dynasties have been adhered to by all dynasties. From the emperors to the people who have promoted the people, they all linked natural disasters with politics. If the politics is clear, the weather will be good, the grains will be abundant, the people will be jubilant, and the politics will be absurd, and the celestial phenomena will be abnormal, many disasters will be difficult, and the society will be turbulent. Therefore, every day when disasters come, the emperors will either correct themselves and issue self-criticisms, or find a scapegoat.

After pondering for a moment, Fu Ning'an bowed and said, "When you go back to the emperor, the celestial phenomena have always been abnormal. They are all warnings from God, some are inappropriate employment, some are treacherous and treacherous in the current dynasty, some are unclear political affairs, some are Gan Tianhe, some are unclear in prison, and some are major unjust cases. It has only been half a year since the emperor ascended the throne, and only more than one month have been changed. This drought has occurred, but the ministers and others have been serving their duties without responsibilities. They have been to Gan Tianhe. I pray that they will be given a reprimand to calm people's hearts."

These words were beyond Zhenwu's expectations. He couldn't help but glance at Fu Ning'an in surprise. Is he taking the opportunity to resign? Or test his attitude towards him? It shouldn't be that the Minister of Personnel Manchu, who was also a member of Fu Ning'an, was not deprived of it at all, and he shouldn't be uneasy.

Zhang Pengfeng was quick-witted and quick-witted. When he saw this, he knew that Fu Ning'an's report was inappropriate. Zhenwu had just ascended the throne and changed his reign and encountered a severe drought, which was very easy to arouse criticism. If Fu Ning'an said, he would have to give him a handle. Zhenwu inherited the throne, which was a public order by Kangxi. No one dared to question the right position, let alone Kangxi is still there now.

Zhenwu was worried that someone would take the opportunity to attack his reform of the Eight Banners system. Thinking of this, he thought for a moment and said, "Back to the emperor, the way of heaven is normal, and it is not about people's plans. As the saying goes, things will turn back when they are extreme, and they will decline when they are extreme, and the way of heaven will be the same.

The drought in spring has continued in several northern provinces, which is not unique to the Qing Dynasty. I have consulted relevant historical materials and have been documented in the past century. Since the 29th year of Wanli, Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty (1601), it has been extremely cold and drought."

As he said that, he thought about it for a while before continuing: "I remember that there is a record of Tongzhi in Yunnan. In September of the 29th year of Wanli of Emperor Shenzong of Ming Dynasty, there was heavy rain and snow in Yunnan. In the 46th year of the Wanli of Emperor Shenzong, Guangdong, it was snowing in Guangdong in December of the winter of the 46th year of the Wanli of Emperor Shenzong, it was snowing in Guangdong. It was very cold. The snow fell like pearls during the day, and the next day it fell like goose feathers. It was already the sixth to eighth day of the calendar. In the north, it was not enough to say, and the severe cold caused drought. In the past few decades, the records of droughts were still endless.

The extremely cold climate was not the first to appear in the Ming Dynasty. If you pay a little attention, it is not difficult to find that there were records of severe cold and drought in the late Zhou Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty, the early and late Ming Dynasty. From this, it can be seen that spring drought in the north is actually a cycle of reincarnation in the heavens and cannot be done by humans."

After hearing Zhang Penghong's remarks, Zhenwu couldn't help but have a word in his mind. Although he could not remember clearly during the Little Ice Age, China had a hidden impression after several cold periods of Little Ice Ages. During the early Qing Dynasty, it was in the Little Ice Age. He couldn't help but look at Zhang Penghong with appreciation. He originally asked them to find an excuse to prevent people with bad intentions from making excuses about natural disasters and accusing him of his innovation in the Eight Banners, especially the two things of the Banners' entry workshop and the New Army of the Imperial Guards.

In addition, we took the opportunity to instill in the ways to prevent soil erosion and promote tree planting and afforestation in barren areas to protect the environment after immigrating to Australia. Unexpectedly, Zhang Penghong had such insights and said such a truth.

After pondering for a moment, Zhenwu asked, "Can severe cold cause drought?"

Seeing Zhenwu's unconcealed admiration, Zhang Pengfeng couldn't help but feel relieved and bowed, "This is a reason why I am inferred by myself. However, after looking through historical materials, you can find that all the years of severe droughts were extremely cold. The fall of the Northern Song Dynasty was that the Bian River was frozen overnight, allowing the Jin soldiers to cross the river as if walking on flat ground. In the late Ming Dynasty, the thirteenth year of severe drought, the world was disturbed, and the victims flocked. Zhou Wei and Rong Di invaded the south, even because of the droughts, the same was true for Sui Wei, and even the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were covered by droughts."

"It is good to examine the rise and fall of the previous life and test the gains and losses of the present!" Zhenwu said excitedly: "You must be good at summarizing and summarizing when reading history. This is the way to study."

After pondering a little, he continued: "Although the north is still drought for nine years, it is obvious that severe droughts are getting fewer and fewer. When I was young, the winter in the capital was much colder than now, which shows that the climate is getting warmer. In the 29th year of Wanli, it has been more than a hundred years. Now it is very likely that it is the time when the heavens are revolving. Occasionally abnormal, which is normal. After these years, the Qing Dynasty will usher in a prosperous era with good weather. A hundred years of prosperity is not a delusion."

Everyone was slightly moved by Zhenwu's words. It was indeed much colder in the past few years than now. Is it really the time when the cycle of reincarnation of heaven? Zhang Penghong couldn't help but secretly praised the master for his agility. With a light turn, he broke and then stood up. The drought turned into a dark night before dawn. He hurriedly stood up and knelt down and said, ", the cycle of reincarnation of heaven, bless me, the Emperor, the wise and wise saint, will surely create a hundred-year prosperous era of the Qing Dynasty."

When Zhang Pengchong knelt down, everyone naturally couldn't sit still and knelt down to praise him.

Zhenwu smiled slightly, raised his right hand and said, "The Emperor was the one who created the prosperous era of the Qing Dynasty for a hundred years. I am just continuing the past and opening up the future, and I am all calm."

After everyone sat down, he slowly said: "If the granaries are full, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace. This is not a false statement. Food is the most important thing for the people. Only by ensuring that the people are fed and fed, the people will not rebel. If the Qing Dynasty wants to pass on the inheritance for generations, it must solve the problem of food and clothing for the people.

What Zhang Penghong said just now is actually revealing the rise and fall of historical dynasties from another perspective. The cycle of heaven and reincarnation will not always be good luck. After decades or more than a hundred years, we will inevitably encounter another cycle. How can the Qing Dynasty not repeat the mistakes of the previous Ming Dynasty?”

No one expected that Zhenwu would be prepared for danger in times of peace and put forward a big topic. He was stunned and could not keep up with his thoughts. Zhang Penghong thought that he wanted to use this to vigorously develop the agricultural college, but Lao Jiu Yinzhen thought that he wanted to use this to expand externally, and they were thinking about it themselves.

Zhenwu had already spoken: "Zhang Penghong is famous for his literary reputation, good at practice, familiar with government affairs, noble character, rigorous style, Qing Guan, self-confidence, outstanding political achievements, and was transferred to the Grand Secretary of the Baohe Palace."
