Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, update is fast, no popups, free to read!
November five days, Shanhai City.
Within Imperial Study, Cabinet Second Staff Zeng Guofan is reporting the disaster situation to Ouyang Shuo.
Among the six Council Elders of Cabinet, Zhang Liang and Wei Zheng are part-time, and they do not participate in the Cabinet division of labor. Jiang Shang is Cabinet Chief-of-Staff, which is equivalent to half of Prime Minister. When Ouyang Shuo is not in Capital City, it will be supervised by Jiang Shang as usual.
The remaining three Council Elder, Kou Zhun, Yan Song and Zeng Guofan each have their own emphasis.
Kou Zhun is in charge of personnel and is the first assistant of Chief-of-Staff Jiang Shang. Whenever Great Xia lays a new site, except for special ones like Central Plains Province, which need to be treated with high specifications, Kou Zhun usually comes out of preside over.
Of course, if several provinces are laid down at the same time, it may be that each of the Council Elders manages each.
In addition, Yan Song Wielding Court Bureau mainly focuses on the big thing of Capital City Dynasty Court. Zeng Guofan is in charge of local government affairs, involving local affairs, Zeng Guofan has the most say.
The two work together to maintain the authority of Cabinet.
Yan Song this person has the ability, that is, he likes to cultivate party feathers. If Yan Song is in charge of local government affairs, then Ouyang Shuo is really uneasy. It is the main Wielding Court Bureau, which is not difficult for the mature Yan Song.
This time it involves local disasters, so it is reported by Zeng Guofan.
"In October, natural disaster affected 17 of the King Dynasty 22 provinces, the affected people reached over 13 million, the affected pastures were million ha, and the farmland was nearly 20 million acres. Preliminary estimates have caused direct Economy loss over 19 million gold coin, and indirect Economy loss is irrelevant It is estimated that it is still under further calculation. "
Ouyang Shuo listened and took a breath.
Gaia is really cruel this time, let Great Xia Dynasty cut a piece of meat directly.
"What are the worst affected provinces?"
"Liaojin Province, Central Plains Province, Wan'nan Province, Jiangnan Province, and North Africa Protectorate Guard, these five places were the hardest hit." Zeng Guofan remembers it.
Ouyang Shuo heard, I do not know if it is sad or happy.
Most of these are new territories, which are really bad luck.
Ouyang Shuo is slightly relieved that with the disasters in Central Plains, Wan'nan and Jiangnan, if the Dynasty Court is generously released, the people in the three places will be grateful for the tears, and then they will eliminate the gap and focus on Dynasty Court.
"Did the relieving disaster grains go out?" Ouyang Shuo asked.
Zeng Guofan returns: "According to the instructions of Your Kingship, relieving disaster such as relieving fire, Dynasty Court take out a portion of the reserve grain purchased before the year and use it for relieving disaster. After the grain harvest in the unaffected area is completed, go to filling granary."
Ouyang Shuo nodded with satisfaction.
Great Xia has a great career. This time, natural disaster is estimated to be the King Dynasty with the largest loss in the world.
But it is also because of the large family business that Great Xia was not affected, or there were still a lot of district, pulling down the east wall to repair the west wall, left and right Tengnuo, Dynasty Court to support a little more, basically can turn around.
not like has some King Dynastys. The site is small. Once the disaster is hit, the whole region is affected. There is no room for change.
Apart from the other districts, only in terms of Huaxia Region, Mongol Empire on Prairie, Great Zhou King Dynasty downstream of Yellow River, and Great Tang upstream of Yellow River, the disaster was very severe.
It is Western Xia Empire and Great Qin next to Prairie, because the vast Prairie has fed the locusts, protecting two nations from the locusts, and fortunately escaped.
What makes Ouyang Shuo more vigilant is that Mongol Empire is a severely affected area, and as a nomadic people, it has a single food source, and its disaster resistance is weaker than that of farming Civilization.
This winter, Mongol Empire is bound to be very difficult.
Because of the nature of Genghis Khan, we will never bow our heads to anyone. The only possibility is to send armed forces. Before entering the winter, go out and plunder, and feed the people with the blood of the enemy.
Central Plains great land bears the brunt.
Mongol Empire does this for good reason. This time locust disaster, Mongolia Great Prairie is Central Plains great land to prevent disasters and charge a little interest, that is not taken for granted.
So, as early as a month ago, Ouyang Shuo ordered Northern Border Army to strengthen frontier alert.
Worrying Ouyang Shuo, the Phoenix Ascends Army and Hedong Army planned to be located in the north are still in establish. If Mongol Empire chooses to commit a situation at this time, it is really irresistible.
If the situation is urgent, you can only catch the ducks on the shelves.
For the moment, don't press the matter, Ouyang Shuo instructs Zeng Guofan: "Right now food prices are rising, Cabinet must respond to and control the price of rice. Neither Business School of Thought | Family can take the opportunity to **** people's blood, nor should people let hoard too much rice. "
The people depend on food.
As soon as food prices rise, people will panic, which will easily lead to a surge in buying, making rice that could have guaranteed normal supply become in short supply, giving Merchant the opportunity to profit from it.
Stabilizing food prices is the responsibility of Dynasty Court cannot be shirked without dishonor.
"Please also assure Your Kingship that Cabinet has instructed Business Bureau to send an investigation team to various places to supervise the matter. Once Merchant is found to be illegal, it will be severely punished. All Province Viceroy Yamen and Protectorate Yamen and Dynasty Court have also greeted one by one, They oversee it. "
Ouyang Shuo nodded. With Cabinet like this highly efficient, it made him worry.
Zeng Guofan follows submitting report, "Your Kingship, the recent increase in grain prices. In addition to self-sufficiency, the grain we stocked years ago has a large surplus. Is it a profit to sell a batch of grain?"
When it comes to this, Zeng Guofan has a long-term vision of Your Kingship and admires it.
Year ago, Ouyang Shuo insisted on using whatever happens|10 million funds to purchase food in a big way, betting that Gaia Year 6 food would reduce production. At that time, the dry Chancellor including Zeng Guofan was very puzzled.
Big bets on heaven-shaking like this, they are not very cold.
Now it is proved that Your Kingship's judgment is correct. If this batch of grain is sold, Dynasty Court will make a net profit of 1000~2000 gold coin, and there is no better deal.
Sometimes Zeng Guofan is thinking too, but for every King, you can see what ordinary people can't see.
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Your Kingship was able to conclude that Gaia Year 6 will have natural disaster man-made calamity with only a little seed, which then led to a reduction in grain production.
Your Kingship's original guess has now been fulfilled by one by one.
Ouyang Shuo shook his head and said with a smile, "How much money can I make from selling food? It's just a little lear."
Zeng Guofan suddenly guessed the intent of Your Kingship, and did not dare to say anything, but only revealed it. Instead, it brought up another thing, "Your Kingship, now Dynasty Court is affected. Is the New Year's ceremony scheduled to be held as scheduled?" /
"That's natural."
Ouyang Shuo glanced at Zeng Guofan.
The promotion of Sovereign Dynasty is the biggest event of Great Xia in recent years. It is about the decentness of a country. Since the date is set, no matter how difficult it is, it is impossible to change it.
With the wisdom of Zeng Guofan, I would not ask such superficial issue.
Since I asked, I have another meaning.
Zeng Guofan must still be distressed about the food, and dare not ask it plainly.
Sure enough, I saw Zeng Guofan taking the opportunity to say: "Promotion of Sovereign Dynasty requires at least one province, and Your Kingship ordered the year to stop, but I don't know if there are a few provinces, it should be what solution."
If you have any questions, you can be more than Zeng Guofan.
With a smile, Ouyang Shuo was able to find out the thoughts of these Chancellors, and it was still very fulfilling. He replied: "The remaining province, seize can be obtained without spending a single soldier. What is missing is just an opportunity. "
Zeng Guofan listened and thoughtfully.
…………
November on the 10th, Indian Empire was not far away, and Shanhai City was sent.
Although there is a compass for communication and communication breaks through regional obstacles, King Dynasty is still accustomed to dispatching ambassadors to solemn in order to show respect for national affairs.
Indian Empire came to make a strange request to Ouyang Shuo.
