"My minister of Dongzhou Zheng Lu, I will report to the Emperor: Hanyang County has been flooding since the beginning of summer. It has been raining for days and heavy rains. The Han River has flooded and flooded into Hanyang... The people drowned in the flood waves, with more than a thousand people and tens of thousands of displaced people. Dongzhou's official grain has been allocated to Jizhou for relief, but Dongzhou's official warehouse is not enough for relief..."

The handling opinions of the Zhengshi Hall were to mobilize 100,000 stones of the official warehouse in Yingzhou and transport them from sea to Dongzhou for relief, and then ordered Dongzhou to strictly prevent diseases in accordance with the regulations on flood prevention and epidemic prevention. Another 50,000 yuan was allocated to strengthen the river embankment.

Cui Xiuning thought for a while and commented: "You can send prisoners in Dongzhou to participate in the construction of the river embankment. I'm here."

After she finished compiling this portion, she rubbed her eyes and prepared to take a nap.

However, it cannot be done after all.

"Empress, He Yun's long-distance fleet has returned." The spy Li Zhi came to report.

"What? He Yun is back?" Cui Xiuning's sleepiness suddenly flew out of the sky and became energetic.

"I arrived in Songjiang a dozen years ago." Li Zhi was also very happy, "I guess I will be able to arrive in Chang'an soon."

"How many ships are coming back? How many people are you? Have you found the things?" Cui Xiuning's eyes were bright and she asked three questions in a row.

He Yun was a navy captain and a general who followed Zheng He to South America. More than two years ago, Tang Ting sent a fleet to South America for the second time, and He Yun was the governor of the navy.

The purpose of the second voyage was to find rubber trees, cinchona trees, and kuke trees. The fleet consisted of three large warships, three medium warships, and thousands of personnel of various types.

However, the Flying Fleet has been gone for more than two years, but there is no news. Cui Xiuning is upset when she thinks that something is going on, thinking that something is going on.

But now, I'm back. This is really a surprise.

Cui Xiuning knew very well what the cinchona tree and rubber tree meant. It was a coca tree, which was also a natural anesthetic. With the coca tree, ancient Chinese medicine doctors in West China could develop their own surgical science.

Traditional Chinese medicine should become the mainstream medicine in the future world.

Li Zhi replied: "Six ships came back, more than seven hundred people, more than two hundred people and two ships did not come back. They brought back a boat of saplings, all planted in clay pots."

"It is said that all three kinds of trees were found and a lot of gold and silver were brought back, and it was estimated that there were tens of millions of taels."

Cui Xiuning was sad and lost more than 200 people when she heard this, but she was also happy to bring back her things.

Her expression was a little complicated, "When will the fleet arrive in Guanzhong?"

Li Zhidao: "They changed Han Shao's Yangtze River Navy warships at Songjiang Port. Now they should enter the Huaihe River and enter the Luohe River. They will definitely arrive in Chang'an within five days."

The Luo River originally connects to Chang'an. Therefore, ships can enter the Huai River from the Yangtze River, from the Huai River to the Luo River, and then into the Wei River.

In recent years, the Tang Ting took charge of the construction of water conservancy projects. The rivers and water in the north and south are connected, and the waterways can enter Chang'an from the sea.

Cui Xiuning said: "I sent the order to He Yun that only a few of the three saplings can be brought into Beijing. All the other saplings will be transported to Lingnan and planted in Lingnan. Our palace will order the governor of Jiaozhou, Guangzhou, and let them be responsible for planting."

Li Zhi asked: "Teacher's meaning, the boat carrying the saplings will not return to Guanzhong, so I will return directly to Lingnan?"

Cui Xiuning nodded, "That's what it means. The ship transporting the saplings was handed over to the Yangtze River Navy, and Han Shao was responsible for transporting it to Lingnan and planting it in time. As for He Yun and other long-distance soldiers and other ships, let them go back to Beijing directly."

"Abide by the order!"
