It is summer, and the disaster relief work is gradually coming to fruition under the handling of Cui Shi and others. However, Cui Shi is not satisfied with this. After these few years, he believes that this disaster may not be resolved in the short term.
It will stop, and it is very likely that it will continue to happen. In order to prevent this situation from happening again this year, the best solution is to resist in advance.
And how to resist it has become a big problem. What is the way to resist this natural disaster?
First of all, it is still the same old thing. Cui Shi leads the governor and other local officials to burn incense and pray, hoping that God will not make trouble again. Cui Shi does not know whether this behavior is useful, but he knows that this approach can at least stabilize the situation.
In order to prevent the people from continuing to be fearful and worried, Lu Zhi and others understood Cui Shi's thoughts and did not stop him. They also worshiped the sky together.
After that, they started to make fuss on the roads, houses, and stoves. This huge disaster allowed them to see the situation during the disaster. The most serious problem was that the roads were blocked by snow. In this way, whether it was
Whether it is disaster relief or escape, it is extremely disadvantageous. This is the reason why the temple's help has been delayed in arriving at the local area.
Therefore, we still have to follow Xing Ziang's decree and build roads.
At Cui Shi's request, Xing Zi'ang raised the height of the Chi Road to be built and made new arrangements on both sides. According to Cui Shi's words, this could prevent snow from blocking the Chi Road in the future. The five northern states
, all started under Cui Shi's schedule. As for the specifics, Cui Shi didn't understand. He could only put forward a general plan. The specific things still required Lu Zhi and Xing Zi'ang to do it.
Aid from the temple continued to flow to the north, and Mr. Yuan's heart felt particularly cold.
Fortunately, Liangzhou did not suffer such a disaster, and its foreign trade was not interrupted. The business travelers returning from the Kushan Empire were still trying their best to replenish the national treasury. As Wen Rengong said, this foreign trade matter has really become a
It became an important source of income for the imperial court. With this source, the national treasury would not be completely destroyed, but it was just not as good as the period when Wen Renggong was there.
Yuan Feng was frightened, fearing that one day the treasury would be unable to make ends meet, so his behavior became more and more similar to that of Wen Renxi, and he could no longer see the demeanor of the romantic celebrity before. The emperor also noticed this situation, and ordered Jingzhou to
, Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places have stepped up the construction of canal water transportation. There have been no disasters here, and they can support these with local finances.
With the construction of canals and water transportation, a large amount of vehicle and vessel taxes can be collected.
The most expensive tax in the Han Dynasty was the commercial tax, followed by the vehicle and ship tax.
In addition, by increasing investment in appearance matters and allowing more merchants to participate, it is easier to collect more taxes. With the efforts of the emperor and Yuan Feng, the Han treasury can still barely maintain a growth trend.
It was also because of the talents of Mr. Wen in the past that he accumulated countless wealth. Otherwise, if the imperial court was carrying out so many construction projects at the same time, the treasury would have been unable to support it.
Wang Fu in the south, after stabilizing the form of Yizhou, chose to develop overseas. Hundreds of large ships sailed toward the southwest, accompanied by Huang Zhong, who was ordered to protect him.
, Wang Fu rushed all the way to Funan, expanded the wharf base in Funan, and ordered the fleet to train here, and there was no further order.
At night, the sea breeze blew the tent curtain. Wang Fu sat in the tent and carefully observed the map.
The soldier came in and said, "Colonel Huang Zhong wants to see you!"
Wang Fu nodded.
Not long after, Huang Zhong walked in, met Wang Fu, and asked directly: "Your Majesty, if we stay here for one more day, we will spend tens of thousands of dollars for no reason, why don't we continue to the south?"
Sailing?”
"What do you know!" Wang Fu didn't even raise his head and scolded directly. Huang Zhong's face turned red, but he was helpless. He knew Wang Fu's temper. He suppressed his anger and asked: "Your Majesty,
I am ignorant, but no matter what, I have to let the soldiers know why they are staying here. The soldiers are so impatient, is it possible that the prince is not afraid that something will go wrong?"
"Not afraid."
Huang Zhong really didn't know what to say.
"You should leave first and be ready to go to sea tomorrow!" Wang Fu waved his hand.
Huang Zhong walked out of his tent angrily and met Zhang Jue head-on. After a few years, Zhang Jue gradually became a bit old. He had been exposed to the sea breeze for a long time, and his eyes were red and he could not see clearly.
, his face was also dry. He looked at it seriously for a moment, and then he recognized Huang Zhong in front of him. He cupped his hands and said, "Meet Colonel Huang."
"Zhang Jun? Why are you here?" Huang Zhong asked in surprise. Zhang Jiao was considered a senior man in the navy. Ever since he promised to find the fairy island for the emperor, he had been sailing overseas for nearly ten years.
Xing Zi'ang became the most experienced official in the Han Dynasty with navigation experience. When he was in Yangzhou, he went to the temple to obtain Zhang Jue an official status as Cao Cao's governor.
But this did not make Zhang Jiao feel happy. He had been searching hard for ten years and could not find the fairy island he longed for. However, he has not given up yet. During this period, the smile on his face became less and less.
, now, he always has a sad face or a solemn look, but he is still kind to people. If the soldiers accompanying him are sick or injured, he will personally treat them, and he is willing to share the joys and sorrows with everyone.
Therefore, Huang Zhong and other generals also respected him.
"I'm here to find the prince..." Zhang Jiao said with a grimace, still without a smile on his face. Huang Zhong snorted coldly and said, "Why are you looking for him? This man... is really..."
Huang Zhong thought for a long time, but couldn't think of how to describe him. In the end, he could only say: "This person is a cook!"
Zhang Jue didn't reply, so Huang Zhong said goodbye to him and left. Zhang Jue walked into the tent. Wang Fu saw it was him and interrupted his visit. He asked him to sit next to him and pointed to the slip.
On the map, he asked: "I heard that there are many reefs here...is it true?"
"exactly..."
Wang Fu started talking with him, and the two kept writing on the map. After an hour or so, the entire map was marked very clearly. Where supplies could be supplied and where dangerous areas were, they were all marked.
As soon as the mark was drawn, Wang Fu nodded and said, "Just leave!" Zhang Jiao said goodbye and left without saying more.
On the next day, Huang Zhong gathered his soldiers, mobilized the fleet, and prepared to sail. At this time, several small boats came from the outer sea. If it were not for the Han flag hanging on the boats, Huang Zhong would have ordered a siege. Wang
Fu Ren received them, and when they reached the shore, Huang Zhong discovered that these were sailors from the Funan Kingdom's fleet.
Wang Fu found them and asked the Funan fleet to clear the way for them on the grounds that he was not familiar with the surrounding seas. He also gave them a lot of money. The Funan boatmen were very happy. They had originally
They were sent by the King of Funan to obey all orders of Wang Fu, not to mention that Wang Fu also gave them money, so they immediately set out and started leading the way for the fleet from the front.
The fleet followed behind these ships and sailed slowly.
Huang Zhong stood on the bow of the ship, turned his head, and looked at Wang Fu standing leisurely on the main ship, speechless.
