Chapter 344 A tug of war with the rebels
Facing the entire immigration process, Xu Guangqi was confident that the emperor in northern Shaanxi had repeatedly told him that more care should be taken of the areas most affected by the disaster, but the situation still exceeded his expectations.

Although northern Shaanxi is also connected to the Yellow River, it is too far away from Xi'an and Tongguan. To transport grain from Tongguan to northern Shaanxi, the freight and consumption of this section of the road alone can transport grain from Jiangnan to Tongguan. It is even more expensive than that. Therefore, food in northern Shaanxi has always been a headache for Xu Guangqi. Although there are immigration officers in every county, it is obviously impossible to have only immigration officers without food. The immigration officers only have a few taels of meat. Obviously not a meal.

On July 23, Xu Guangqi received the news from Bi Zisu, governor of Shaanxi, that there would be a civil uprising on the [-]rd, and the scale was quite large. Moreover, northern Shaanxi, especially Fugu, was the focus, so Xu Guangqi was prepared. Xu Guangqi had not yet Too concerned, such a catastrophe, there is a civil uprising, it is expected, until the delivery of a letter, let Xu Guangqi feel the seriousness of the situation.

"Yusheng, come and see, what's so special about this news?" Xu Guangqi read this letter by chance, and suddenly woke up in his heart, but said calmly on the surface, Xu Guangqi realized that he almost missed a big deal .

"Oh, Master Xu, what's the matter? This? It doesn't seem to be the news from the immigration officer. Hey, it seems to be the seal of the Fugu County Frontier Army, and the signature is also the Fugu County Frontier Army... This, but there is What's strange?" Zhou Yanru took the letter, and it seems that the seal and inscription are the seals stamped by the frontier army in Fugu County. It is because there are many immigration officers in various places. This kind of local government, no, it is indeed strange that the letter stamped by the local frontier army is directly sent to their Secretary of Agriculture.

"Do you see what is said inside?" Xu Guangqi asked calmly while his heart was full of turmoil.

"It is said here that there are some victims of disasters in Fugu County who can't make it through. They want to immigrate to the south. There are a lot of people who want to immigrate, most of them are women and children, and they have no food. Order food, let them walk down by themselves, or send a boat to pick up people, I am very grateful..." Zhou Yanru read the letter and said.

"Well, Yusheng, look through the news sent by the immigration officer of Fugu County in the past few days, and see what they say." Sun Chengzong said calmly, after this period of calmness, the shocking waves in his heart, Gradually calmed down.

Following Xu Guangqi's wishes, Zhou Yanru took out a letter from a large cabinet, looked at it, and was sure it was from Fugu County.

"...Master Xu, this is the news from Shi Kefa and Shi Xianzhi, the immigration officer of Fugu County, Shaanxi? Oh, what's so special about this?" Zhou Yanru is the deputy imperial envoy, and he works with Xu Guangqi, running errands for Xu Guangqi, or doing some necessities Working with strength, Xu Guangqi is old after all, and his energy is not as good as that of young people, so he needs someone to help.Zhou Yanru also respected the imperial envoy whom the emperor called Master, not for anything else. Xu Guangqi is already in his old age. Although the budget for the immigration was only made for one year, it was only 1000 million taels. However, according to Zhou Yanru's calculations, or in other words, based on the scale of millions of immigrants in history, it can't be completed in one or two years, maybe it will be many years, so, such a heavy burden, pressure It is impossible for an elderly person to serve for a long time. It is really too hard. Therefore, although the issue of the successor of the imperial envoy has not surfaced now, it is still undercurrents. Zhou Yanru wants to To strive, with him there is also a deputy imperial envoy who is in charge of the river, and has a certain degree of competitiveness with him, so he, Zhou Yanru, must handle things quickly and obtain the approval of the old man. When the time comes, As for taking over as an imperial envoy, it can be expected that the emperor will listen to Xu Guangqi's opinion. As long as Xu Guangqi says who it is, as long as it is not too bad, it is probably whoever it is. Therefore, Zhou Yanru is active and willing to work, and he is quite flattering. He is not like this when serving his father. Be diligent.

Xu Guangqi was normal to Zhou Yanru at the beginning, but after getting along for a while, he found that although he was young, he was in a high position. He is still a little hardworking, and he is quite diligent in speaking and doing things. Xu Guangqi has been an official for more than ten years, and now he is only in his thirties. , Let the deputy imperial envoy participate.

"Yes, it's also the news sent in the past few days. I read it at the time and didn't take it too seriously. However, Yusheng, you are combining this news with today's letter, and then combining it with Mr. Bi's news. Look, see if you can see something." Xu Guangqi has been restless for the past few days, thinking it was caused by the news of the civil uprising, but today he suddenly saw a strange letter, and suddenly woke up, and found Strange, there was a huge wave in my heart.

"Shi Kefa said in the letter that someone came to him with a letter issued by the frontier army, saying that there were quite a lot of disaster victims in the upper reaches of the Yellow River in Fugu County... Today's letter is also from the frontier army in Fugu County... ...Well, the certificate they issued... also said that a large number of disaster victims in Fugu County wanted to immigrate to the south..., um, the news from Mr. Bi said that the civil uprising in Shaanxi spread throughout the province...the focus is on northern Shaanxi and Sui Germany, Fugu... Fugu..., also Fugu..." Zhou Yanru sorted out the information he had obtained, and was suddenly shocked. The starting point of the rebellion pointed to Fugu; The disaster victims asked for immigration letters to the immigration officer in Fugu County; even some people took the letter from the frontier army and went directly to Xi'an Sinongsi to submit a letter. What does this mean?What's not in here?Frontier army, disaster victims, Fugu County, civil uprising, immigration... These words shocked Zhou Yanru!

Zhou Yanru was inexplicably surprised. He looked at the letter in his hand in surprise, and was quite shocked by the result he deduced!

"Master Xu, this...could it be..." Zhou Yanru was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"Wang Er's people! Wang Er's people..." Xu Guangqi muttered these words.

Zhou Yanru could not close his mouth in shock. No one in Shaanxi knew what Wang Er was doing. He killed Wang Douyao, the magistrate of Baishui County. As a result, he indirectly killed a governor of Shaanxi. Now, because of his news, the whole Shaanxi is moving, and even the capital is moving now because of his words.

Zhou Yanru took a few breaths, and then murmured: "Master Xu said that the sender, like Wang Er and his like, may be the person who is planning to rebel this time, or one of them, and may be the same as Wang Er and his like. The local frontier army has some relationship, maybe even a deserter. While they are sending letters to our immigration officer and our secretary of agriculture, they are discussing the matter of rebellion. That is to say, they are watching, watching us Can we deliver the food, if our food is not delivered a few days late, and they have nothing to eat, they may rebel..." Zhou Yanru was quite shocked by the result he deduced!
The shocking waves in Xu Guangqi's heart had calmed down, and his complexion became even calmer. He said, "That's right, Yusheng! This group of people may be the ones who raised the flag to rebel in Fugu this time, or one of them! However, They are also watching, or rather, they don’t want to take the last route. Now, it depends on the ability of our Secretary of Agriculture to deliver the food as soon as possible. Reduce the pressure to the minimum! On the contrary, it will be a waste of life!"

"Then, Master Xu, what about the messenger? Hurry up and find the messenger!" Zhou Yanru suddenly remembered something, and said immediately.

"Forget it, Yusheng, you don't need to look for the messenger. I'm afraid he knows his identity, and he might leave early after delivering the letter." Xu Guangqi sighed and said.

"Hey... Master Xu, now it all depends on Shi Kefa, the immigration officer of Fugu County. If Shi Kefa can handle things effectively and carefully, and can deliver the food in time, a group of people can be avoided! This Fugu County I can't afford the civil uprisings in the whole of Shanxi, and I guess all the uprisings in Shaanxi are focused on Fugu. If you can take this group of people to the south, it will be a great achievement!" Zhou Yanru also sighed, thinking about it One of the key issues, but I can only sigh, now it is the 22nd, and tomorrow is the end of summer. Now, even if it is seven hundred miles urgent, it is impossible to send the news to Fugu, let alone transport food there. , the only sustenance is on Shi Kefa, an immigration officer in Fugu County. I hope that Shi Kefa can deliver the food in time. In this way, a group of people will be lost to participate in the civil uprising. The scale of the civil uprising in Fugu County is naturally limited. Yes, the scale of the uprising in Fugu is limited, and the scale of the uprising in Shaanxi is even more limited.If this group of people can be placed well, I am afraid that this group of people will be a role model... Zhou Yanru has also touched the relationship and tricks.

Xu Guangqi seemed to have decided on something, and without speaking, he walked straight to a large sand table and began to make gestures.Seeing Xu Guangqi go to the sand table, Zhou Yanru knew what Xu Guangqi was doing.

A distinctive symbol of the imperial party is that there is a large sand table in the office, so as to see and deal with problems with an intuitive image.

Xu Guangqi gestured for a while, then sighed: "Hey... this Fugu County is one of the northernmost counties in Shaanxi. Although the Yellow River flows through this place, it is really difficult to transport this section of the river, and we are unable to catch it! Tongguan is [-] miles away on the sand table alone, let alone on the ground?" Xu Guangqi measured the distance from Fugu County to Tongguan on the sand table, but he could only feel dejected, this distance is really too far point.

"Yes! Master Xu, not only is there more than 1000 miles, but this section of the Yellow River is even more difficult to sail! Especially at the Hukou, the boat has to sail on dry land. It is difficult to transport such a large batch of grain! Here, Master Xu, what should I do?" Zhou Yanru also looks at the sand table for office work these days, and also reads the information of various rivers in Shaanxi every day, and he also understands the situation of this section of the Yellow River. The staff felt a headache, especially at the mouth of the pot, and it was even more difficult to sail on dry land.

"Yusheng, it doesn't matter if it's difficult. What matters is that our immigration has become the key to the civil uprising. Many people are looking at our ability to immigrate. The people will follow His Majesty instead of rebelling. This is the most important thing. Nowadays, the civil uprising in Shaanxi, it can be said, depends on us for the most part. It can be said that we are the No.1 that determines the scale of the Shaanxi civil uprising Ah!" Xu Guangqi's mind has become clear after going through the shocking waves.

"Master Xu is right. This time, I'm afraid it will be a tug-of-war between our immigrants from Sinong and those rebels. The victims are among them. If you use more force on that side, the victims will move more to that side." A little bit...if there is a little more to our Sinong Division, the scale of the civil uprising will be smaller. On the contrary, if we fail to emigrate, the victims will follow suit..." Zhou Yanru now fully understands the emigration of imperial envoys. I felt the pressure, and I understood the key point. I was talking to Xu Guangqi, but I was still wailing in my heart. It was nothing but the Hukou of the Yellow River, the dry land, and the hundreds of miles of rivers. Can't take the boat..., to transport food..., Zhou Yanru felt a toothache...

"Yu Sheng is indeed a transparent person. You are right. Your Majesty has already expected all this, and has repeatedly emphasized the importance of northern Shaanxi. It's just that I can't see the situation clearly when I wait for the matter to come to an end. I found the clues, alas..., I will be far away from your Majesty..." Xu Guangqi sighed, the emperor had told him again and again, pay attention to those places in northern Shaanxi, where the land is barren, and may be the hardest-hit areas, although Xu Guangqi also paid attention to it , allocating a lot of manpower and material resources to transport grain to northern Shaanxi, but obviously, I didn't expect this to happen, and I still didn't pay enough attention to it. This matter is not just a matter of immigration, it has become a tug-of-war between them and the rebels However, if the victims of the disaster in the middle of the Barna are a little weak, the civil uprising in Shaanxi will spread throughout Shaanxi.

The severity and pressure of the matter suddenly fell on Xu Guangqi's head.

"Master Xu's words are not bad. His majesty's teachings are still vivid in his mind. At the beginning, he thought it was a bit too much. Now, after comparing it with the reality, he realized that his majesty is far ahead of us!" Zhou Yanru I had met the emperor before, and the emperor had given him instructions, but now I realized that although the emperor was young and had never been out of the capital, his estimation of the situation was quite accurate, and Zhou Yanru admired it.

"Yusheng, for now, we can only rely on this Shi Kefa. I hope he will not make mistakes, otherwise, the national law is ruthless! ... In addition, you must tell Shi Kefa the news immediately, let him find a way to stabilize those people, and more We have to step up efforts to transfer grain from Tongguan, no, from below Yumen to up, no, step by step upwards, the grain from Xing County is transported to Fugu, the grain from Jia County is transported to Xing County, and Wubao to Jia County Transport... In short, the grain should be sent to Fugu County first. Even if the boat sails on dry land, the grain must be transported to Fugu. The matter is ruined in our hands." Xu Guangqi has never had much silver in his hands, and the budget is far from enough. He has always broken one silver into two flowers. Now, in order to stabilize the victims who may rebel, he is gnashing his teeth and using it. Silver smashed.

"Master Xu is right. For this matter, we can only spend more money, and we have to organize more volunteers. We are stationed in this section of the river, and we must transport the grain below the mouth of the pot as soon as possible! There is no grain, and there is nothing left." It's a fake... This tug-of-war, we, Sinongsi, must never lose!" Zhou Yanru has figured it out now, and he understands that food is the key, without food, it is impossible to keep others from rebelling of.

"Well, Yusheng should deal with it as soon as possible. When it's over, the two of us will go to Mr. Bi, tell him the news, and discuss what to do together. He is leading the army to deal with the civil uprising. His Majesty will give him With authorization, most of the civil upheaval now depends on whether the immigration of our Sinong Division can be effective... In addition, this news must be reported to Your Majesty as soon as possible..." Xu Guangqi immediately asked Zhou Yanru to take care of these matters, and he himself concentrated on it Write letters to the emperor, private letters, and open letters.

Zhou Yanru agreed, and happily went to do it.Today, the imperial envoy of immigrants, not to mention the money in his hands, only manages hundreds of Jinshi immigration officers, involving hundreds of states and counties. Just this one, we can also see how powerful the imperial envoy of immigrants is, say how many provinces The governor is not exaggerated, so Zhou Yanru is single-minded in taking over Xu Guangqi's class in the future. Therefore, doing things is also caring, neat, and even more enjoyable. At least Xu Guangqi has to look up to him. will recommend him.

Coming out of the official office of the Secretary of Agriculture, the lights are already on.

Xu Guangqi rode a horse, and Zhou Yanru followed suit. He rode a horse and followed Xu Guangqi towards the governor's office.

Si Nongsi is not far from the governor's yamen, and Xu Guangqi will arrive soon.

When Bi Zisu learned that Xu Guangqi was coming, he went out to greet him personally, and brought officials, big and small, with him.

"Hehe, Master Xu is here, and we are greeted at a distance, and we are greeted at a distance..., Master Xu came to inspect the Yamen in person at such a late hour, but what advice do you have...?" Needless to say, the No. [-] and No. [-] people are kind and respectful.

"Fan Jiu, we really have something to do, and it's very important, so we have to come!"

Seeing Xu Guangqi's calm face and a trace of anxiety in his words, Bi Zisu suddenly became nervous. Originally, he had already made arrangements for Shaanxi, but now seeing Xu Guangqi's arrival, he knew that there must be something, and his heart arose again.

……

On the platform, although the lights have already been turned on, the debate on this platform has become more and more intense. The focus of the debate is how to deal with Wang Er and the group of people represented by Wang Er. Many people have already seen that Wang Er is a key figure, which will affect the success of immigration. Therefore, some people want to protect Wang Er and the group of people represented by Wang Er. On the other hand, it is out of ruling Considering the interests of the class, he believed that Wang Er had to be killed, and he had to kill a hundred policemen. Otherwise, the ruling class would not feel safe. Therefore, Wang Er unconsciously became a key point, and became the key point of the dispute between the two sides.
