Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 705 Natural Disaster or Man-made Disaster
Wanyan Zonghan was beheaded for public display, and Zhao Huan had no interest in watching the beheading in the Shenzhou military camp.

He was a little melancholy when he heard the loud applause in the army camp.

"In the past, Song Dynasty went farther and farther on the road of emphasizing literature over military affairs. Now, is this overkill? People in future generations will say that I am militaristic?" Zhao Huan frowned and looked at the Dasong army camp. The soldier's desire for battle is written on his face.

The collapse of the huge dynasty of the Qin Dynasty was undoubtedly suspected of Zhao Gao's disorderly government, but it was not without the frequent use of force, which led to the acceleration of various social conflicts.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty committed the crime of tires, and he also used force frequently. He fought south and north, and the people's life became difficult.

How did the Sui Dynasty die?

Emperor Sui Yang, who wanted to finish what he had done in several lifetimes, was too hasty and ungrateful, and was finally abandoned by the people of the world.

Zhao Huan looked at the warlike soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and felt a little worried.

"I think the officials are doing the right thing." Zhao Ying said, looking at the sighing officials, holding a lot of letters.

Zhao Huan snorted, sat up from the rocking chair and said, "Greedy minister."

Zhao Ying said with a smile: "This is not slander, I have a reason. No one knows what the consequences will be when making a decision, but in the face of the current situation, the decisions made by the officials are correct. Yes, that's all right."

"You can say it." Zhao Huan sat up, picked up a letter, rolled his eyes, and threw it into the garbage classification. This letter was a letter from the magistrate of Yangzhou to greet him.

"These guys know how to say hello all day long, and they don't have a single word of truth. They only say it when they can't handle it! An accident is a big deal!" Zhao Huan picked up another book, this time it was Fan Ruwei's book. It's greetings.

"I'm fine, do I need them to ask?" Zhao Huan was furious.

He discovered the courtiers' style of doing things, that is, everything was hidden from the emperor, and they went about it by themselves, and they turned things into big things, and they got out of control.

Fake big empty, no real content.

Whether it's Song Jiang's Liang Shanshui Po or Fang La's million volunteers, isn't it all made in this way?The notes of these courtiers are not as useful as the gossip records posted by county captains from all over the country.

At least the gossip records of the county captains in Suzhou also wrote that it has been raining heavily recently, which may be dangerous.

"This is for the officials to share the worries of the officials. Everything needs to be handled by the officials. What use are they for?" Zhao Ying was also helpless. The sorting rack he made was the largest in the trash basket. And fill it up every day.

"Zong Xianggong's letter, the official family." Zhao Ying handed a letter written by Zong Ze to Zhao Huan, Zhao Huan looked at it for a few times, and finally his face became a little more serious.

"Why do the officials look like this?" Zhao Ying asked puzzled.

Zhao Huan didn't answer, flipped through the thick paper and said, "Take out Li Dazai's paper."

After reading Li Gang's letter, Zhao Huan finally relaxed a bit, but still said solemnly: "Go back to Yanjing to rest for a day and then return to Bianjing."

"Official family, what happened?" Zhao Ying was also surprised when she heard that, thanks to the fact that the battle in Liaoyang had come to an end for now, otherwise the official family was caught in a dilemma?

Zhao Huan handed the two books to Zhao Ying and said: "The Yangtze River is flooded. The surrounding dikes are all broken. In the Xiangyin area, the water is as deep as the roof ridge. The rain has not stopped, and the property and livestock of the merchants have been lost. There is more than three feet of water in the government offices of Suzhou, and Jinghu and Jinghu roads are the hardest-hit areas, and the danger cannot be delayed."

"In two Sichuans, two Jings, two rivers, and two Zhejiang provinces, more than 2000 million acres of farmland were affected by the disaster. Now statistics have shown that dozens of states and counties have been besieged by floods, and 14 people have died!"

"It's such a dangerous situation, that prefect of Suzhou! The son who is still paying my respects to me! Trash! Investigate this person for malfeasance! I gave him the prefect to let him guard the people. What did he guard?! All day long, he was only focused on searching. Land?!"

Zhao Huan had just read the letter written by the prefect of Suzhou, a splendid article full of nonsense, and not a word mentioned the flood disaster.

[Reminder of historical events: the Yangtze River flood disaster, the hardest hit areas include Dongting Lake, Poyang Lake, Jingjiang, the middle and lower reaches of the Han River, and the northern Anhui area.Among them, the governance of Tang Dynasty is the best, and large-scale floods occur every 18 years.In the Song Dynasty, floods occurred every five years. 】

Zhao Huan looked at the information and reminded him that his scalp was numb for a while. For 160 years, the Song Dynasty has raised a group of wastes among wastes!
Just now Zhao Huan was sighing whether he had overcorrected, but this group of people immediately lost the chain for him.

The water control in the Han and Tang Dynasties was first-class and stronger. This is because the rainfall in the Han and Tang Dynasties was much greater than that in the Song, Ming and Qing Dynasties. The Yellow River is an example.

During the Tang and Han Dynasties, the Yellow River was stable for more than 450 years. If it hadn't been for the Song Dynasty's Sanyi to return to the river, it would still be stable!

Of course, there is a lot of rainfall, and the Yellow River has less sediment, which is indeed of great benefit to the management of the Yellow River.

However, the rainfall in the Yangtze River Basin has not changed since the Han and Tang Dynasties. This large-scale flood occurs every five years!
Especially when the rainfall in the Yangtze River Basin this year has not increased much compared to the past, the embankment has collapsed!
It is necessary to ask whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster.

[Reminder of historical events: In the Qing Dynasty, a large-scale flood disaster occurred every four years in the Yangtze River Basin. 】

Ok?
Is this system still so skinny?Is this telling myself that Da Song is not enough compared to the top, but more than the bottom? !

As Zhao Huan said, the danger cannot be delayed, and Zhao Huan's affairs in Liaoyang are almost done, so it is reasonable to hurry back to Bianjing.

Dealing with disasters and rehabilitating the people all require policy support. These major events must also be approved by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, so naturally they must be taken seriously.

If Wanyan Zonghan hadn't raided Shenzhou Xingyuan, Zhao Huan would already be on his way back to Yanjing at this time.

"Give me the magistrate of Suzhou, and escort him to Bianjing! If he can't say anything good or bad, I'll cut him down to thank these tens of thousands of dead souls!" Zhao Huanyu said angrily.

"Han Fang will arrive soon, officials, shall we not wait for him?" Zhao Ying suddenly remembered that Han Fang had written a letter before, and wanted to replace Wan Yan Zongwang in Shenzhou to continue the peace talks, and Han Fang had also prepared to return to the Song Dynasty. Get ready, even the house slaves have been disbanded.

Don't wait for Han Fang, I'm afraid something will happen.

Zhao Huan hesitated for a moment and said, "Just let Han Fang go to Bianjing. Han Shizhong arranges for protection. I can't wait for him."

Zhao Huan really wanted to be a platform for Han Fang's return to the Song Dynasty, and Han Fang also needed the support of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty in order to be justified.

But now that the disaster is urgent, he can't care about Han Fang alone.

Now Zhao Huan's first priority is to rush back to Bianjing as quickly as possible, and presiding over the rescue is the key.

At this time, the prefect of Suzhou didn't even know that the disaster was coming from the sky. He squatted on the table and looked at the water under the table with a look of helplessness and loss.

　Thanks to "another novice" for the reward, thank you for your support.
