Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 764

The measures to deal with the Liaodong plague were simple but effective.

That is the seal.

In one case, a village was sealed off, and the uninfected people in the village were moved out of the village. Snakes were scattered outside the village to catch rats, while in the village, the imperial hospital led by Hu Yuan entered to treat patients.

Zhao Huan once again looked at Han Shizhong with admiration, and the speed of action was fast, and the Song army also did not disappoint Zhao Huan.

Zhu Xiaosun, in Zhao Huan's impression, was a standard nobleman. His father, Zhu Bocai, was an observer himself. After Zhu Lian became queen, Zhu Bocai was promoted to Jiedushi.

As the brother-in-law of the Great Song Emperor, Zhu Xiaosun was able to "follow me" instead of "follow me", which made Zhao Huan very satisfied.

"He went into the village to catch rats and get sick, which really impressed me. But he is young and strong, and now Hu Yuan is coming to the state, so don't worry too much." Zhao Huan comforted Zhu Lian, telling her not to worry too much about Zhu Xiaosun.

"It's his change that I didn't expect." Zhao Huan shook his head and said.

Zhu Lian suddenly smiled and said: "Don't you see, Qinghaitou, the bones have never been harvested in ancient times, the new ghosts are annoying the old ghosts crying, and the sky is cloudy and rainy and wet."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Huan looked at Zhu Lian and asked, it's just that the ladies of the family are different, and they all speak in a polite manner.

He naturally knew that Zhu Lian's sentence was from Du Fu's "Song of Soldiers and Chariots", but why did he suddenly mention this.

"This poem by Du Gongbu actually touches the scene and expresses emotion. Apart from feeling the hardships of the world, he also misses Emperor Wen and Emperor Taizong of Tang."

"In ancient times, no one collected the bones. It is said that since ancient times, soldiers who fought on the battlefield, after they died in battle, there were so many bones that there was almost no one to clean them up. But Emperor Wen asked people to clean up the bones."

"What the officials do is not just collecting bones." Zhu Lian said with a light smile.

Her two older brothers were both serving in the army in the north, so they naturally knew the enthusiasm of the soldiers for the emperor.It's just that men express their emotions very implicitly, and they don't feel much about them.

Instead, she read between the lines of her brother's words the loyalty of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty to the officials.

Only then did Zhao Huan understand, and he said with a smile: "Poor Wuding Riverside Bone, he is still the person in the dream of a spring girl. Is it the same?"

The sentence Zhao Huan said was "Longxi Journey" written by Chen Tao, a poet of the late Tang Dynasty. He originally thought it was describing the turmoil in the late Tang Dynasty and how difficult the people were.

Zhu Lian pinched Zhao Huan's back and said: "When Emperor Wen twice conquered the Turks, he issued two edicts to collect the bones. This is already a show of empathy, which will be missed by future generations. Although the government has never issued an edict saying benevolence, But who doesn't the common people praise Yushu Linfeng Qilin Lang?"

"Hehe." Zhao Huan smiled awkwardly. This nickname is not at all as domineering as the golden-winged roc Yue Pengju.

"The officials should also pay more attention to rest. There are tens of thousands of things in the world. How can there be a day when they are finished? Look at the white hair, there are more and more. Some time ago, my sister brought a few boxes of wild ginseng. Take Ying away and make up for the officials." Zhu Lian pulled out the gray hair on Zhao Huan's head with a little distress, the emperor of Song Dynasty was only 29 years old this year, but there were occasional gray hairs in his hair.

"Where can we rest? The flood in Jingnan Road killed tens of thousands of people in Ezhou alone, and more than [-] people died in the entire Jingnan Road. Many of them were ordinary people who fled. Accidentally, the number of deaths will double, and when I think of this, I can hardly sleep or eat." Zhao Huan narrowed his eyes and said with a sigh.

"Zong Shaoqing is a talented person, the officials can be more considerate." Zhu Lian said after helping the officials to straighten their hair.

"But he is seventy years old. I'm worried that he won't be able to hold on. Zhao Chengyou is not a good match, and I don't know what happened to Ezhou." Zhao Huan was very worried about Zongze's health.

At this time, Zong Ze was waking up from his sleep. Because Wang Shan's health was getting better, after he didn't have to run around the medical hut and the yamen, he had more rest time and his face became ruddy.

The heavy snow in Bianjing and the heavy rain in Ezhou, and the approaching winter also made Zongze lose more than half of the stone in his heart.

"Man will prevail over heaven." Zong Ze wrote four big characters, and said to Wang Shan with a smile, "I have lived up to the expectations of the officials."

In the second year of Longxing and the year of Jiashen, there were 30 million refugees in Donghuaidian, fleeing the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River.

But this time, most of the people who died of illness on Jinghu South Road accounted for a small number of those who died of freezing and starvation.

If Zhao Chengyou hadn't insisted on wrapping the fire in paper and covering the matter in such an earth-shattering manner, so many people would not have died in Ezhou.

"Zong Shaoqing, are you arresting Zhao Chengyou today?" Yang Yao said eagerly.

Zhao Chengyou's plan to burn down the Ezhou warehouse in order to cooperate with grain merchants to drive up grain prices was stopped by Yang Yao's defense in advance.

Zong Ze is not a soft-hearted person, he has already put these grain merchants in prison, and Zhao Chengyou has also been ordered by him to be arrested and brought to justice.

"Go." Zong Ze nodded. Last night, he received an urgent order from the official with a golden letter, and he had already approved his letter.

"Give this note to the Yin Qi Friday brothers to distribute among the neighbors, and persuade the people to come out of the mountains." Zong Ze gave another note to the yamen servant.

The common people hid in the deep mountains and old forests to avoid the flood and did not dare to go out of the mountains. However, seeing that the cold winter was approaching, if they continued to stay in the mountains and forests, once it snowed heavily, even minor typhoid fever could kill the whole family.

Zong Ze's urging people to come out of the mountain is not just a word of mouth.

He also wants to implement the Juntian Order near Ezhou, which has been difficult to handle on Jinghu South Road, to the end.

The land equalization order near Ezhou has always been in a situation where there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. Although the state capitals have reported the number of land equalization, the land is still in the hands of major grain merchants and landlords.

Especially with Zhao Chengyou as the core, he who owns ten thousand hectares of fertile land is the biggest obstacle to the implementation of Ezhou's land equalization order.

Zongze also went to Ezhou to investigate the matter clearly. The concealment of officials really opened Zongze's horizons.

How to cultivate and live with the people?The common people don't even have a mouth field, how can they cultivate themselves?

"Fortunately, we have done this in Hedong, Hebei, and Jinghu North Roads. It's easy to let Ezhou Prefecture pass on the land of the remaining five prefectures." Zong Ze took out a stack of letters, which he based on the actual situation of Ezhou. Written in Zhazi.

"Anyone who dares to enrich their own pockets and deceive superiors and subordinates will be punished." Zong Ze instructed the officials of the Kaifeng government office to convey his words clearly.

The magistrates, prefectures, and county magistrates have not yet been promoted to the official positions of general manager and economic envoy, so they have no political immunity.

"Zong Shaoqing! That guy Zhao Chengyou, he ran away!" Yang Yao ran back panting, shouted and entered the door.

"Run away?! Can he escape? Post a wanted list!" Zong Ze laughed when he heard that.

Did he run away?This is the soul-hunting hook of the Great Song Emperor, it's no wonder he can run away!
