Domineering Daming

Qin Tianjian concluded that this year's rainfall will exceed that of previous years. Once the Yellow River or the Yangtze River breaks its embankment, it will cause unprecedented floods.

Not only him, but the entire cabinet and the six ministries were worried. Naturally, Zhu Xu's pressure also made Bi Ziyan feel heavy.

The emperor has always been strict in doing things, and he will not be aimless. Since he cares so much, making him, the "chief assistant", go out of Beijing to check, obviously represents an unprecedented care.

Sun Degong had done a lot of homework, and when he heard this, he looked solemn, and said: "My lord, our Zhengzhou government has also made many inquiries, and we have asked many experienced people to calculate, and it is indeed as Qin Tianjian said, that there may be heavy rain this year. Immediately It’s about to enter May, and there hasn’t been any rain so far, so it’s likely to be concentrated in July and August…”

Bi Ziyan is also grieving now. This country is full of disasters and disasters. It can only be maintained with all efforts, and there is no improvement.

"Could it be that, as the emperor said, my Daming is experiencing an unprecedented disaster?"

Bi Ziyan doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and doesn't believe that anyone can predict the future, but now he has to believe that the emperor's far-sightedness surpasses all of them, and he has a clearer judgment on the future situation of Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 654 Changes of courtiers

Bi Ziyan stayed in Zhengzhou for a long time, and also met Zhang Ruitu, governor of Henan Province, urged him, and then continued to walk upstream.

He wants to inspect the entire Yellow River channel, and then continue south to inspect the Yangtze River channel.

These two are the most important water systems in Daming, and the disasters that occurred were the most serious.

Although the Ming court began to carry out dredging projects on rivers across the country in the second year of Chongzhen, it also took turns to check.However, the ministers of the imperial court rarely took a look at it in person.

This time, the entire Ming court was worried about the coming rainy season, and Bi Ziyan had already left Beijing, so he naturally wanted to check it out with his own eyes.

Fu Changzong was in Shaanxi for disaster relief at this time, mainly because of the earthquake, but he also deeply felt the disaster in the southwest.

The so-called Chidiqianli is not enough to describe here.

Villages and villages are completely empty and people can be seen everywhere, and it is not an exaggeration in books that there are no people in a hundred miles.

There is no food or drink for a long time. The severe drought has driven all life in the Southwest to a desperate situation. Countless people are waiting to be fed, hovering on the verge of starvation, struggling to survive.

Li Banghua was very courageous. It took three days to persuade Fu Changzong to hand over the disaster relief channels of the household department in Shaanxi to him, and he would unify all departments in Shaanxi and provide unified disaster relief.

Li Banghua had a lot of talks with Fu Changzong, and finally accepted the "farm system", gathering people from villages and stockades in various places, all food and labor were unified, and the distribution method of "everything belongs to the imperial court" was implemented to ensure that the people could enjoy Have something to eat.

Fu Changzong stayed in Shaanxi for a long time, and discussed too much with Li Banghua and others about the "Jingzheng New Deal".

Fu Changzong wrote letters to Zhu Xu one after another, explaining what he saw in Shaanxi, hoping to give more power to let Shaanxi and Southwest "self-help".

At the same time, he also said that he hoped that Shaanxi and West China could be used as experimental fields for the New Deal, to accumulate experience and promote it in several southwestern provinces, so as to avoid more accidents and be more efficient.

Sun Chuanting in Liaodong also kept writing letters from Shenyang, sometimes to the cabinet, and sometimes directly to the south, writing to Zhu Xu himself.

He wrote too many things in the letter, all related to various government affairs and ideas, hoping to try it in Liaodong, but it may be "illegal".

Although Zhu Xu was on board, he still held all the rights of Daming, and all kinds of memorials would be forwarded.

Zhu Xu looked at the playbooks one after another, feeling extremely relieved.

Sitting on the bow of the boat, he was playing chess with Cao Bianjiao, listening to Cao Huachun's report, he said with emotion: "When I ascended the throne, there were still those meaningless memorials. Today one impeaches that, that one impeaches this, and one impeaches them The two of them seldom mentioned about government affairs, and each of them is from a strategic position to teach me how to do things..."

Cao Bianjiao's chess skills are also not good, but he is better than Zhu Xu, a stinky chess player. He is not as "profound" as Bi Ziyan and others, and his "modesty" is very obvious.

Cao Huachun on the side didn't speak. He could see all the changes in the government and officials over the years.Now that the adults are all worrying about state affairs and putting them into practice, it is no wonder that the emperor said such gratifying words.

pat!

Zhu Xu dropped a pawn and said: "Pass the decree to the cabinet, and pay close attention to what Sun Chengzong and Fu Changzong have played. If the reform is effective, we must adjust the Daming Law as soon as possible or make supplements, and then promote it throughout the country. If the reform fails, we must pay close attention to it." Stop it early to avoid further chaos."

"Follow the order!" Cao Huachun said.

"All reforms are based on illegality", this sentence is correct, especially at this time in the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible to break the law without breaking the law.

Zhu Xu was playing chess, Cao Huachun came back not long after, and handed over a secret letter, saying: "Your Majesty, the flying pigeons in the capital are sending letters."

Zhu Xu raised his head, stretched out his hand to take it, and immediately frowned.

Putting down the note, holding the chessboard, Zhu Xu said, "Huang Taiji is leaving, Bumbutai sensed danger and wants to surrender, what do you think?"

Cao Bianjiao didn't speak. He is a military general and he is not interested in government affairs.

Cao Huachun bowed his body, thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, this servant thinks that we should take precautions."

Zhu Xu smiled, fell down, and was thinking in his heart.

People like Bumbutai are extremely smart, and it is impossible to use ordinary methods to deal with them.This time her surrender was really hard to tell.

However, Zhu Xu now has enough self-confidence, not to mention Bumbutai, even if Huang Taiji comes, he will not be afraid.

Although Cao Bianjiao was releasing water on the chessboard, but Zhu Xu was a rotten chess player, the situation was still one-sided. He sighed in his heart, he really was a rotten chess player.

"Bring Bumbutai here."

Zhu Xu was defeated, threw away the chess piece and said, "By the way, bring Hai Lanzhu here too, the sisters will live and die together this time."

"Follow the order." Cao Huachun said.

Zhu Xu picked up the chess pieces and said, "Let's play another game. Let's stop at the next ferry and go ashore to have a look."

"Yes." Cao Bianjiao responded.

At this time, Henan was actually the most nervous. After all, the emperor's fleet was apparently heading to Luoyang, and Bi Ziyan was still moving around, which made them very uneasy.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, killing night.

In the capital, a group of people came out of nowhere, broke into the door, rushed into the clothing bureau, and rushed directly to Bumbutai's room.

"Murdered..."

The women in the clothing bureau shouted and the lights went on quickly.

"No, no one is here!"

A man in black who rushed in quickly turned around and said in a cold voice.

"Hmph, it must be hidden, look for it!" the leader shouted.Bumbutai's identity is too sensitive, she knows too many things, she must not be allowed to survive tonight!

"Baylor, let's go, the people from Jinyiwei are here!" A man in black shouted.

"Kill, leave no one behind!"

While talking, a purple-clothed team leader stepped in, and the surrounding brocade-robed guards rushed out to kill these black-clothed men!

"Bumbutai's rebellion, trap, get out!" The man in black roared, rushing towards the door.

Jin Yiwei had already made arrangements, how to let them get away, immediately carried out the encirclement and suppression, and started to clean up the mess in less than half a stick of incense.
