Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 368
After the Taoist examination, due to the imperial system, he could not meet the master, and the inspector himself had to rush to Weihui Mansion to preside over the second batch of Taoist examinations, and there was no time to meet the middle school students, so Gao Wushi was happy to be at ease .

To say An Yi is actually an exaggeration. In fact, Gao Wu was not idle in Kaifeng Mansion. He first attended a group of Xinzheng student gatherings for new middle school students and paid the bill, and then visited Su Yonglu, the governor of Henan at the time.

Su Yonglu is a native of Changzhi County, Lu'an Prefecture, Shanxi Province. He was a Jinshi in the 23rd year of Jiajing.He successively served as magistrate of Shouzhou, promoted to Tongzhi of Suzhou government, deputy envoy and vice-envoy of Shaanxi procuratorate, chief secretary of Zhejiang participated in politics, and changed to governor of Henan in the fourth year of Longqing.

In the four years of Longqing that just passed, Gao Gong was actually in power, and Henan was Gao Gong's own province. Since Su Yonglu was able to change the governor of Henan in the fourth year of Longqing, it was obvious that at least he was not Gao Gong's political opponent.

In fact, coupled with his native place in Shanxi, it is easy to judge his political orientation - the Jin Party, with Yang Bo, Zhang Siwei, and Wang Chonggu as the troika, has been Gao Gong's main allies in recent years. Su Yonglu was able to participate in politics from Zhejiang Chief Secretary and was promoted to Henan Governor, how could it be possible that he did not nod Gao Gong?

Gao Wushi didn't have much impression of this Su Zhongcheng, probably he didn't do any earth-shattering events in the history of his previous life.However, according to Gao Gong's previous introduction, Su Yonglu once made meritorious service in the investigation of Yan Song's case and confiscated Yan Song's family property.

When an official reaches a certain level, anyone can do such things as confiscating family property, but the problem is that not everyone has the opportunity to do it.Su Yonglu's ability to get this job does not show his ability, but that he belonged to the opposition of Yan Song's party in his early years.

Gao Gong is also an opponent of Yan Song, and he is an opponent on the surface. He is different from Xu Jie, who has long been regarded as a vassal of the strict party, and who will beat Yan Song when things come to an end.

An enemy's enemy is a friend, so Su Yonglu can basically be sure that he is "one of his own".

Originally, Gao Yushi didn't have any special purpose for this visit. If he had to say yes, it was to get in touch with Su Zhongcheng, a local member of the Gao Party or Pan-Gao Party, and that was all.

However, after he met Su Yonglu, he discovered something interesting.

Su Yonglu has been a little busy recently, busy with quelling the civil unrest, and is quite a bit burnt out.

It’s a long story, so there’s really no need to start from the beginning. If the long story is short, it would be: in recent years, water transportation has been blocked, especially in the Xuzhou generation from central and southern Shandong to northern Jiangsu. "Flooded counties" and "displaced people" at every turn.

If it was in the Red Dynasty, there must have been large-scale flood fighting and emergency rescue before this happened, and the soldiers would go wherever the danger was, and block the breach at the pile of people's walls, but in Daming, such a thing is out of the question.

Not to mention that there is no hope of commanding the flood at the national level, even the local disaster relief after the event depends on whether the local officials and gentry have the heart...and the strength, anyway, as far as Gao Wushi knows, the imperial court's finances are still being returned to the Jiajing Dynasty The old debts, how can I have the financial resources to take care of these.

As a result, millions of refugees appeared in the nearly 10-square-kilometer yellow flood zone, among which the "disaster-affected people" that the local government had completely lost control of were probably tens of thousands.

Although the vast majority of Chinese people are honest and honest, when people reach a desperate situation, seeing that they can no longer survive, they dare to show any evil thoughts, so it didn't take long for more than a dozen villages, large and small, to emerge in this large area. Most of the changes are caused by some bandits and bandits coercing the refugees.

As far as the court is concerned, most of these people belong to the emperor's subjects, and as long as the disaster relief is effective, they can be saved.But for magistrates, it's not so easy to talk about - civil uprisings will affect the evaluation!
Therefore, unless they can be recruited immediately, the extermination must be the main priority.

It is reasonable to say that the civil uprisings in Yanzhou under the jurisdiction of Shandong and Xuzhou under the jurisdiction of Nanzhili have nothing to do with Su Yonglu, the governor of Henan, but in fact, as long as you open the map and look at it, you will know that Henan belongs to Henan. De Mansion is just to the west of Yanzhou and Xuzhou, but it has not suffered any disasters here... Then it goes without saying that the rebellious army is not a god, so they don't need to eat after the rebellion?Of course, I ran to Guide Mansion to find food nearby.

So Yanzhou and Xuzhou suffered disasters, but Guide Mansion was unlucky. A large group of hungry and screaming refugees rushed towards Guide Mansion.

Although these vagrant armies are divided into many groups, individual forces are not strong. There are tens of thousands of people, and even a few hundred people are counted as one, but the number is too large. Even if Su Yonglu wants to calm down, You have to break them up one by one.

Besides, he represents the government and the orthodoxy of the imperial court, so it is not enough to just disperse them, and he has to find a way to arrange these people, otherwise there will never be real stability.

Henan is located in the middle of the world, and agriculture has always been pretty good. At this time, the "yellow flood" is generally in the lower reaches of Shandong, so relatively speaking, there are relatively few civil uprisings in Henan. Officials are not very good at dealing with these things.Not to mention that the guards in Henan have not fought any battles in the past 200 years, so it is hard to say whether their combat effectiveness is five or five.

However, based on his experience in Zhejiang, Su Zhongcheng felt that although the local guards of the imperial court were unreliable in fighting Japanese pirates, they seemed to be effective in quelling civil unrest. Get rid of these relatively large bandits in one wave, and then the small bandits will be easy to deal with.

The ideal is indeed full, but the reality is always skinny.Of the seven armies attacking for the first time, only one of them won, and it was a disastrous victory. The other six armies suffered shameful defeats without exception!

As a result, these armies retreated to Zhangde Mansion at the same time, merged into one, and the battle report to Su Zhongcheng said, "Guide Mansion is as stable as Mount Tai!"

Su Yonglu's face turned green with anger, our military sect asked you to suppress the bandits, you are lucky, you came back to your lair, dare to tell me that the lair is as stable as Mount Tai?I have been in the officialdom for decades, and I have seen many shameless people, but I have never seen you like this, who can call your butt like a face!

At that time, when Su Yonglu and Gao Wushi talked about this matter, they even beat the table angrily and said that they would all dismiss these idiots and investigate them.

Gao Wushi was also full of black lines when he heard it. He knew that the guards in the interior were scumbags, but he didn't know that they could be so scumbag that they broke the lower limit of the regular army's combat effectiveness.

But the matter has come to this point, cursing people can't solve the problem, and dismissing them all is an obvious angry statement, which is unfeasible. It is meaningless to worry about how incompetent these people are now. The most important thing at the moment is to find a way to stabilize situation.

Otherwise, if Su Yonglu's side can't even get rid of a little civil disorder and mess up the hometown of Henan, I'm afraid that even Gao Gong can't help but pick Su Yonglu's black yarn.If this is the case, no matter what Su Yonglu's ability is, he will always be the governor of a province. If he falls down like this, Gao Dang will always cut off his own arm—or at least his own finger.

After thinking about it for a while, Gao Wushi had no choice but to offer some suggestions, to see if Su Yonglu would listen.
