Chapter 1179

But what should be done next?If there really were a large number of refugees coming to the capital, what would the court do?
Could it be said that he really ignored it?Of course not, but if the refugees are incorporated into the Xiang army, then wouldn't the series of efforts made by Wang Yang and Wang Wushan on the Northern Shaanxi Road for the redundant soldiers of the Song Dynasty be in vain?

The emperor Zhao Xu was very distressed, but there was no good solution right now. After thinking about it for a while, in the end, he could only ask Ma Shang to find the people from the Imperial City Department and let them also send someone to watch over him.

"There are two prefectures and seven counties in Huazhou and Weizhou that were affected by the disaster. Haha, sir, you may not know that not only the two prefectures and seven counties in Huazhou and Weizhou, but actually two prefectures and nine counties were affected. One of the biggest reasons is that The night before the victimization."

"Weizhou Zhizhou Zhang Zhizhi's [-]th birthday, officials from all the counties under the jurisdiction of Weizhou went to Weizhou to pay homage to their superiors. As a result, that night, a heavy rain came, and those officials were all in Weizhou..."

"Ridiculous, how could they do this?" Hearing Zhao Ji's words, Wang Yang's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. "We all know that the rain in Gyeonggi Road this year is heavier than in previous years, and flooding may occur at any time, and this period of time happens to be when the rain is most frequent."

"For the [-]th birthday of a magistrate, they put the people in several counties in Weizhou in a dangerous situation. The important thing is, afterward, they deliberately concealed part of the disaster in order to conceal the truth? Their courage, this is also Is it too big?"

"Fortunately, this time, His Majesty not only appointed Yushi to go there, but also dispatched the Imperial City Secretary to spy secretly. Only then did I learn that... I don't know, if the court cannot grasp the full situation of the disaster, more accidents will inevitably occur."

"Those things will be handled like this?"

"Your Majesty was furious and wanted to dismiss the prefect of Weizhou and all the officials of the counties who participated in the birthday banquet. However, all the ministers and workers in the court tried hard to persuade them. When the disasters hit the counties and counties, if the officials were suddenly replaced, those newly arrived I am afraid that it will be difficult for any official to take over in the shortest possible time."

"So, in the end, His Majesty can only correct the chief culprit and seize the posts of magistrate of Weizhou and two of them as county magistrates, making the rest of the officials guilty and meritorious..." Zhao Ji shrugged his shoulders helplessly and explained.

Wang Yang was also very distressed to hear it, and more helpless. Although those officials who persuaded the emperor may have ulterior motives, what they said was indeed the truth.

At such a critical juncture, recklessly replacing officials and causing turmoil in the officialdom will indeed make officials in the disaster-stricken area panic, and it will also affect the efficiency of disaster relief.

The matter is not just about the ruins of the officialdom. Even though the government and the court have made great efforts, there are still many people who have lost their homes and whose houses have collapsed. They come to Bianliang, the capital, with their families. .

However, within a few days, more than [-] refugees have gathered outside Bianliang City, and there are still more refugees coming to the capital Bianliang one after another...

How to deal with these refugees has become an imminent problem.

In the middle of the court, there was a quarrel over how to resettle these displaced people. The old parties strongly demanded that the court integrate these refugees into the Xiang army as quickly as possible, so that the future of the refugees could be calmed down. With no food and clothing, and resentment towards the court, it will lead to a series of consequences.

The new party represented by Zhang Dun strongly opposed it, thinking that the court finally disposed of hundreds of thousands of Xiangjun and solved the worries of the Song Dynasty's redundant troops. Increase the burden on the court.

The two sides couldn't stop arguing. In desperation, Emperor Zhao Xu could only announce that he would shelve the dispute for now and ordered the capital to set up a porridge factory and build shacks to provide temporary shelter for the refugees.

After all the ministers and servants left, the emperor walked into the imperial study room with a worried look on his face. After thinking about it for a while, he paused.

"Change my clothes, Master Ma, and prepare a carriage for me, not the one for patrolling, but the one with one horse."

More than half a time later, a light but sturdy four-wheeled carriage, surrounded by a group of impromptu imperial squadrons, arrived in front of Wang Yang's mansion.

Seeing a group of people coming, the servant guarding outside the gate of the mansion immediately recognized Ma Shang, the confidant eunuch next to His Majesty, and then saw the emperor Zhao Xu in a brocade robe getting out of the carriage, his legs softened and he was about to Bye.

"Get up, Wang Wuke is in the mansion?" Emperor Zhao Xu waved his hand to signal the servant to get up and asked.

"My son is in the mansion, and he is instructing his disciples and His Highness Prince Duan to conduct experiments in the chemical laboratory..." Faced with the emperor's question, the servant naturally did not dare to neglect, and said with a fistful of beans.

Hearing this, Emperor Zhao Xu couldn't help raising his eyebrows and said curiously. "Chemical laboratory? It's interesting to do experiments. It seems that Wang Wushan has invented something new again, and the eleventh brother has come to join in the fun. I want to go and have a look. You don't need to inform me, just lead the way..."

"The best ratio is one part of saltpeter, five parts of vitriol, and then mix them evenly. Remember, you must grind it, and never hammer it, because saltpeter is the same as gunpowder. There will be an explosion if it encounters a collision..."

Wang Yang was still in a white coat, with flat eyes and a mask, directing the three disciples around him who were dressed like him to do things.

"Today all we have to do is to produce vitriol oil in the laboratory, which is the test of sulfuric acid..."

"Sir, why do you call green vitriol oil sulfuric acid?" Zhao Ji asked Wang Yang curiously while grinding green vitriol with the small stone mill in front of him.

"Because the most important ingredient in green vitriol oil is sulfur, and one value of green vitriol oil is acidic, so I specified its chemical name as sulfuric acid." Wang Yang said righteously.

The naming right must be in your own hands. In the future, Mr. Wang will be able to become the father of chemistry with the development of chemistry.

"So that's the case, so the hydrochloric acid and nitric acid you mentioned are related to the salt that people eat and the saltpeter used to make gunpowder?" Zhao Ji is indeed a smart person, and he knows how to draw inferences from one instance to another.

"It seems that you really have the talent to be an excellent scientist." Wang Yang said that I am very optimistic about your expression and eyes, but it is a pity that the mask and eyes blocked his vivid expression changes.

"That's natural. Xiao Wang will definitely work harder to become a master like you who can combine mathematics, physics and chemistry." Zhao Ji said proudly after sniffing.

"I'm also very optimistic about Shishilang, you will definitely become the master of mathematics, physics and chemistry you want to be..." At this time, a loud laughter came from outside the chemistry laboratory, which made the people in the room pause.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Wang Yang saw clearly the smiling Emperor Zhao Xu standing outside the door, quickly took off his mask, and hurried forward to salute.

"Okay, you don't need to be too polite, but Wang Wushan, why are you dressed so weirdly?" Emperor Zhao Xu smiled and raised his hand to help, then pointed to the weird outfits of Wang Yang and others. "And why are you wearing glasses?"
