Chapter 719 Disaster Relief
Zhang Shun heard Li Jiqi's words, how could he not know that he was coaxing him with big words?

Not to mention in a feudal society, even under the dictatorship system of later generations, which country can achieve "men fight against women to farm, and the old and the young transport the luggage"?
However, the conscience of the two generations told him that he was not allowed to sit idly by and let so many people starve to death in the fields for nothing.

Whether it's benevolence, righteousness or morality, or the emperor's mind, he can't help a large-scale famine happening on his own territory.

Zhang Shun made up his mind, so he asked, "How much food do the rebels have? Do you have any statistics?"

The red lady had already made up her mind, and Shi Shiran said: "Originally, the rebel army saved about [-] shi, and later bought more than [-] shi. It's just that when they fought with the officers and soldiers, they ate horses and chewed horses, and it was difficult to recruit young men." It cost a lot. Counting it now, there are still [-] shi left."

Zhang Shun thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Then set aside [-] shi for disaster relief! The generals who attacked the counties are urgently ordered to seal up all the grain warehouses in the county, and take inventory of how much grain is stored in them for use. .”

As soon as Zhang Shun said this, there was an uproar in the hall.

Shaanxi suffered a severe disaster, and Chongzhen only allocated [-] taels of silver from internal funds for disaster relief.

It should be noted that the disaster-stricken area in Shaanxi Province is so large, and the disasters have been suffered year after year, which makes the situation worse.

The local price of rice has even risen to eight qian qian per bucket of silver. With the silver allocated by Chongzhen, even if the dealer is as clean as water, it can only buy more than [-] shi.

And this Henan is only a land of one prefecture, and the disaster relief food is almost ten times that of Shaanxi, how can everyone not like it?
The people of Henan Province are saved!Sure enough, there are only wrong names in the world, but no wrong nicknames. King Shun really deserves his reputation!
"King Shun!" Then Lu Weiqi and Zhang Shenyan couldn't help being taken aback, they knew Zhang Shun's plan to store grain, wouldn't this ruin the plan of the rebel army?
"I've made up my mind, there's no need to say more!" Zhang Shun stretched out his hand to stop their advice.

It's just that this disaster relief doesn't just need to drop food.

The badness of the Henan government lies in the collapse of the organization first.

Originally, although there were some disasters in the seven years of Chongzhen in history, it was not impossible to survive.

As a result, Zhang Shun led the rebel army to capture Luoyang City, and fought repeatedly with officers and soldiers.

Leaving aside military disasters and man-made disasters, the officials at the grassroots level were already trembling when the officers and soldiers were defeated in successive battles.They were afraid that when they woke up that day, the rebel army had already occupied the county town, dragged them out and chopped them down.

Under the huge psychological pressure, except for a very few people, they hurriedly repaired the past and tried to improve their image.

Most of them are broken pots and broken, embezzling and collecting money, and they are becoming more and more rampant.Most of the duties that the government should perform are paralyzed.

After coming and going, the people who were affected by the disaster were scattered, and they ran all the way to the jungle, and the law of the jungle went.

Therefore, after Zhang Shun's preliminary investigation, his first reaction was to rebuild order and reestablish the imperial court.

Now he has no other available people in his hands, so he doesn't care about cultivating them carefully, so let's rush the ducks to the shelves for the time being, let's talk about building the system first!

Even a system riddled with holes is better than no management system.At least, they can distribute the food for themselves, right?
After thinking for a while, Zhang Shun said to Lu Weiqi, Zhang Shenyan, and Song Xiance: "The three of you put together a list and draw up a list for me. It must include the history of the magistrate, the magistrate, the master, the envoy, the inspector, and the post office. Cheng, tax envoy, etc. The required masters, yamen servants, and archers can be retained from the original county yamen, or they can be recruited again. Only those who commit the most heinous crimes must be dealt with severely, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Yes!" Lu Weiqi, Zhang Shenyan, Song Xiance and others couldn't help being surprised and delighted.

In the Ming Dynasty, Henan Prefecture governed one prefecture and thirteen counties, plus one prefecture and one county in Ruzhou that could be conquered at least, how many vacancies were released at once?
The students who took refuge in Zhang Shun through Lu Weiqi and Lao Shanzhang suddenly became excited.The opportunity that could only be obtained after ten years of hard study appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and everyone could hardly believe their ears.

Seeing everyone gearing up, Zhang Shun had no choice but to remind them: "It's easy to come, but easy to go, you just do it and cherish it. If you commit corruption, bribery, fish and meat, etc., I'm not as talkative as others!"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Shun turned his head to Zhang Shenyan, Lu Weiqi and Song Xiance and said, "Don't send Li Jiqi and Huang Deqing out for now, I will keep them for great use!"

To be honest, Zhang Shun's methods were a bit aggressive this time.

Originally, when he employs people, he puts them by his side to train for a period of time, and then releases them after he feels that his character and ability are good.

It's just that this time the disaster was urgent, and he couldn't allow him to take his time, so he had to make a bad plan.

The main job this time is to open warehouses and release food. As long as you are willing to do things, there is generally no problem.

For the start-up of a career, the capable go up and the mediocre go down, that's all.

If you can initially establish your own governance system through this grain distribution, it will be considered a great success.

In order to prevent these mermaids from making big mistakes, Zhang Shun ordered again: "Li Jiqi, I think you are a righteous man, can you be a censor for me, and specialize in investigating and punishing crimes?"

Li Jiqi couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard the words. He originally heard that Zhang Shun had transferred him out in order to avenge himself for bumping into Zhang Shun just now. How could he think that he wanted to reuse him?
Li Jiqi originally had a little love for the people in the village, but now he can personally participate in it, and he is overjoyed.

After the others heard this, don't take a deep breath, and thought to themselves: It's going to happen, why did King Shun appoint such a bastard?

Then Li Jiqi hurriedly thanked Dade for a while, and was about to retreat.But that Zhang Shun grabbed him and said in a low voice: "Nowadays the rebel army is just starting up, it's hard to avoid misleading, please be my eyes and ears, and protect the people in every possible way!"

"This king raises troops for the sake of the people. How can he learn from the dross of the previous dynasty and ruin his reputation?"

"I still have more than a hundred clerks under my command. In the future, I will allocate fifty soldiers to you as guards. You choose thirty clerks yourself to help you!"

Li Jiqi was surprised and delighted when he heard the words, and quickly responded: "King Shun, don't worry, Ying Wuding will be cautious and diligent, and handle the things that King Shun entrusted to me properly, even if he is heartbroken, he will not hesitate!"

Zhang Shun explained it again, and then Li Jiqi was grateful for Dade and left, and the other scholars also retreated for the time being.

It wasn't until this time that Zhang Shenyan and Lu Weiqi complained: "King Shun, the original plan to capture Nanyang is just around the corner, how can you suddenly do something that involves energy?"

"The rebel army can wait, but I'm afraid the people won't be able to wait!" Zhang Shun sighed, "It's not my impatience, it's really a day of delay. I don't know how many people will die!"
