Chapter 101

Xinghu Lake is located in the lower reaches of Yingzhou lake. Originally, the flood control situation was also extremely severe. However, due to the dike burst in Mingzhou, Xinghu Lake area withstood the continuous flood peak pressure and did not cause a major disaster.

Zhao Qijue, the king of Jing, who sits in Xinghu Navy, meditated quietly after reading the secret report from Yingzhou. The letter only talked about the disaster and banditry in Yingzhou lake. There were not many inside stories, but the words "rogue invaders attacked Yingzhou government" made his thoughts jump a little. An old man sitting opposite him looked at Zhao Qijue and took a panoramic view of his subtle expression changes.

"Your Highness, what's your plan?"

The old man's words interrupted Zhao Qijue's thoughts, and he returned the secret report to the old man. The old man is not only his teacher, but also a military division level figure who plans for him. He has done many things for him.

Zhao Qijue sighed softly.

"Those refugees and bandits should not be worried. Mou Lin in Wuzhou has some talents and means and should be able to deal with them. However, it is estimated that the loss of this disaster will not be small."

The old man smiled. Zhao Qijue knew that he must have different opinions. She smiled and asked, "what's the teacher's different opinion?"

"The situation is like water, unpredictable. Your highness, don't want to see it?"

"What are you going to see? Quell the bandits? Without a will, I have no right to mobilize this 15000 person Xinghu Navy! What can I do if I go barehanded?"

"I think your highness can make some preparations. If the six southwest states are not handled properly, there will be chaos! At that time, the court will send troops to suppress it, and your navy is likely to be the pioneer and enter Yingzhou lake."

Zhao Qijue is well versed in military affairs. Naturally, she knows this, but there are tens of thousands of state troops in the six southwest states. There should be no problem dealing with those refugees.

The old man continued: "Your Highness, in fact, this is a good opportunity to lay out the southwest, which should not be easily missed. I don't want you to get any military merit in order to be appreciated by your majesty. For your highness, accumulating meritorious deeds is meaningless. You should have a more far-reaching plan now!"

Zhao Qijue understood what he meant. Although the crown prince was released, she may not be able to make a comeback. Pingwang also began to show his edge, and princess Linglang was reused by her majesty. Her competitors were not reduced, but more and more complex. The old man's idea is to let him not only please the emperor and live by reward, but actually make his own planning and layout.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the southwest is a disaster, but in the eyes of planners, it is an opportunity to earn profits.

But Zhao Qijue did not think that the southwest disaster had the opportunity to intervene directly.

"Your Highness, you don't have to worry about it. Just make some preparations just in case. Opportunity doesn't exist when you want it. You can't miss it and it won't come again."

……

After learning the news of the flood in Mingzhou, chaotang immediately responded and dispatched more than ten ministers from household, French, military, industrial and other departments, led by Han Shu, the main hall of the Ministry of work, to Yingzhou to deal with the disaster and banditry around Yingzhou lake!

……

Hezhou double meeting, once again a great success! The marketing net profit of Shuanghui alone reached 3.5 million Liang! The number of tourists and business trips has nearly doubled over last year! Both Hezhou and Kyushu businesses have reaped huge gains! There are hundreds of business contracts signed by Kyushu commerce, and the light industry manufacturing park has also raised the banner through the double association! In particular, all kinds of cowhide products produced and processed by it, such as coarse cloth clothes with cowhide knee pads, boots with cowhide soles, cowhide backpacks, etc., are strong and durable, and the price is reasonable. They are very popular with the middle and lower classes. The inventory is sold out, and the order has been arranged for a few months!

Li Shuting was officially called the "five great writers" in the literary world; The popularity of novels and books has greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of literary creators; After reading the information, Zhang Zhou in yumancheng was in a cold sweat! The last thing I want to see happened! His nervousness also made Guan Yuniang and Tang Yuer deeply disturbed.

"Xianggong, is it really that serious?" Tang Yuer asked timidly.

Zhang Zhou sighed deeply and said: "I don't know. Maybe it will be more serious. Many things have a chain reaction, which will affect the whole body. If this matter can be controlled in the southwest States, the problem is not big. Even if the number of exiles is large, they are only composed of exiles, have no great ambition and no long-term plan. As long as they are suppressed in the southwest, they will eventually collapse. Even if there is a loss, the emperor will die The country can carry it. But the current situation has completely collapsed, leading to millions of refugees flocking to the South ten states, which is the most bone breaking trouble! Where is the South ten states? It is the most important tax place of the Empire, and seven or eight out of ten rich households in the world are concentrated there. It's OK for refugees to have food. If they don't have food, they'd better grab it instead of starving to death! It doesn't matter to rob every family, but this kind of The behavior will spread quickly. After destroying the savings and wealth of these large families for many years, it will be difficult for these refugees to return to their previous life. They will not work and become more greedy and vicious circle! For the Empire, if the South ten states collapse, the Empire will lose the support of a powerful country. If Beiyan moves south again, I'm afraid... "

"What about that? Doesn't chaotang care?"

Zhang Zhou shook his head, picked up the information from chaotang, looked at the eight words and said: "I don't know what the problem is now? But judging from the disposal methods of the court, not only did it not pay enough attention to the harm of the refugees! It also transferred the troops of the ten southern prefectures! Once there are millions of refugees, can we only deal with them by criminal arrest? If there are riots among the refugees, I'm afraid it's too late to take preventive measures."
