Chapter 847 Request for Immigration

At this time, Su You's letter caused an uproar in the DPRK.

In his petition, he proposed that since the disaster in Jingdong was so serious, some refugees could be sent to Cochin or even further south to Saigon.

Zhang San's fleet could completely transport the victims to Jiaozhi by taking advantage of the northeasterly winds in the winter months after transporting the rice.

Compared to moving overland to eat in other states, although the distance may seem much longer, the time is about the same.

From Jingdong to Jiaozhi, the schooner can take advantage of the favorable wind and reach it in only twenty days.

In Nanyang outside Jiaozhi, I have purchased a river mouth with a radius of several hundred miles and is located between Champa and Chenla. It can produce three crops a year and support tens of thousands of people without any problem.

In the future, it will be an important transit point for Nanyang maritime trade. Song people will farm there and provide supplies for the fleet.

I hope your majesty will consider appointing Shen Kuo and Jia Quan to follow the example of the Western Han Dynasty in clearing out the Western Regions and establishing cities in key areas of Nanyang.

In order to seduce Zhao Xu, Su You also put forward another suggestion. As long as the court agreed, there was no need to pay a penny, and Sitong Company could take full responsibility. Food and delivery would be included.

This suggestion is too terrible. In theory, it is sending the people of the Song Dynasty to an unexpected place, and it is morally unreasonable.

Moreover, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was a negative example in the Song Dynasty. The Western Regions at that time really did not bring much benefit to the Han Dynasty, but almost brought down the Han Dynasty's economy, and the northern grasslands did not have actual control.

Defeating the Xiongnu only made room for Xianbei. Where is the Western Region now? It is not enough to imitate.

This kind of speech is the mainstream in North Korea and China, but an anonymous article was published in "Liangzhe Chaobao" and raised a question: What is important between "name" and "reality"?

For the sake of so-called "respect", is it unkind and unjust to starve people to death within the jurisdiction rather than allow them to start a new life in a place where they can survive?

Is the destruction of Jiaozhi this time and the huge profits from foreign trade the same as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's attack on the Xiongnu and exhausting the people's strength?

Refugees are everywhere in the east of Jingdong and Hebei, and thieves are on the rise. The imperial court is strictly ordered to suppress them. But how many of these "thieves" are former obedient people?

If a notice is posted to inform the people that they can receive food and live in Annan, and let the people make their own choices, will it be helpful to quell the two groups of bandits?

The imperial court's expedition to Cochin was very organized. Deaths from epidemics in the past did not occur at all. Zhang San's fleet sailed all the way without any plague. So in such a critical situation in Hebei, can we consider trusting it?

Suyou?

This article was reprinted by the Times. Because the article mentioned the issue of "name and reality", which was an old argument before Wang Anshi's political reform, everyone suspected that Wang Anshi wrote it anonymously.

Wang Anshi neither admitted nor denied it.

Cai Que was preparing to impeach Su You for being unkind and reckless. When he saw this article, he immediately stopped.

This flood disaster was severe in Zhengzhou in the upper reaches and Xuzhou in the lower reaches.

It's better to die than to die. The governor of Xuzhou is Su Shi.

Su Shi was very miserable, and he always came to provide disaster relief wherever he went.

After Mizhou was saved from drought, the imperial court appointed him to inform Xuzhou. When he was about to return to Beijing to resume his duties, he was blocked by Wang Gui. He was about to reach the capital. The imperial court ordered him not to enter Beijing and to take up his post immediately.

So Su Shi and Su Che who came to meet him made a U-turn, first went to Chenliu to visit Zhang Fangping, and then together with Su Che, they inspected the folk customs and landscapes of Pengcheng, and arrived in Xuzhou in April, where they spent a pleasant time

, and also built a Xiaoyao Hall in Xuzhou.

On July 17, the Yellow River burst in Caocun, Chanzhou. The waves were so turbulent and unstoppable that they flooded 25 counties and destroyed 150,000 hectares of farmland.

This is actually much better than in real history. In real history, this flood was a once-in-a-century event. The river changed its course and once again swept through Jingdong East Road, flooding forty-five counties and destroying 300,000 hectares of farmland.

Fortunately, after Su You and Sima Guang decided on Beiliu, Wang Anshi made great efforts to consolidate the defenses and dredge the lower reaches. Although silly and dark technologies such as dredgers and rakes appeared in the process, at least the general direction was correct.

After many years of stubbornness and perseverance, the flood did not change its course. Instead, it widened the downstream area a lot.

However, the disaster was still severe. "The houses were destroyed, the tombs were ruined, the old and the weak were drowned in the river, and the strong ones were running wild."

On August 21, the floods invaded Xuzhou City.

Xuzhou City is surrounded by mountains in the south, and due to continuous heavy rains, water flows into the city. The height outside the city is as high as two feet and eight feet, which is more than ten feet higher than the streets in the city.

And it accumulated higher and higher. During the peak season, the water was only a few inches away from the city.

The wealthy people dragged their families and asked to leave the city for refuge, which brought greater panic to the people. Citizens flocked to the north of the city, and even the troops fighting the flood were not mentally stable.

After Su Shi learned of the situation, he immediately rushed to the north of the city. He admonished the wealthy businessmen: "You have a lot of wealth, but if you all abandon your home and leave, then the people in the city will be scattered. How can you fight the flood?"

He then assured the people: "As long as I am here, Xuzhou City will not be destroyed by floods!"

After Su Shi's persuasion, wealthy businessmen and citizens returned home one after another.

The troops stationed in Xuzhou were the Wuwei Army. The Forbidden Army could not be mobilized in Zhizhou. At this critical moment, Su Shi could not care less and ran to find the commander of the Wuwei Army to mobilize himself: "The river will harm the city. The matter is urgent. Although the Forbidden Army will do its best for me.

.”

The commander said with emotion: "The prefect does not shy away from Tu Lao; we, the little men, should serve ourselves." He ordered all officers and soldiers to dispatch to inject a powerful force into the flood fight.

The southeastern part of Xuzhou City is under the overlook of Baibuhong, Xuzhou's famous flood discharge channel, and is now facing the risk of overturning by floods at any time.

If floods invade the city, the flat land under the Northeast Theater Theater is most likely to become a flood corridor.

Su Shi visited the theater many times and inspected it. Sensing the danger, he directed the soldiers and civilians to build a long embankment that "starts with the theater and ends with the city."

This long embankment was built in a very timely manner. As soon as the embankment was completed, the flood came fiercely, but it was blocked by the embankment, which temporarily alleviated the crisis of flooding the city.

At this time, it started pouring rain again, day and night, the water level continued to rise, and the rolling flood was about to cross the city wall.

Su Shi set up his home at the top of the city. He wore a raincoat and straw sandals and sat in command, letting officials guard him in sections.

After more than seventy days of fighting, the flood finally receded, and the city of Xuzhou was saved!

The imperial court thought this was simply a miracle and specially ordered a reward.

And Su Shi started to talk loudly again, saying that fighting floods is not important, but that it is important after disasters.

At that time, Sima Gong and Su You inspected Hebei. According to Fu Bi's method of saving Damingfu and Li Suzhi's method of saving Yingzhou, they formulated a system and asked the imperial court to proclaim it as Jingdong Road and activate the emergency plan for disaster relief in Hedong.

The "He Qi Yao Yao" and "Beiliu Illustration" jointly produced by Sima Guang and Su You can be called classics of investigative reports, but they are too detailed and trivial.

There are millions of words of information, and many of the content charts are quite boring.

Except for Sima Guang, Su Shi, Zhang Fangping, and Chao Buzhi, those who can read it all and remember the main content can read it with gusto. The perversion of the t on the hard drive of their brains will make everyone else feel dizzy just looking at it.

Zhao Xu quickly asked the people below to look through the book. Sure enough, one, two, three, four, five, detailed and clear, Su Mingrun, reliable.

Finally, he made up his mind and ordered two pacification envoys from Jingdong and Jingdong to post notices.

"Those who are willing to be recruited to live in Jiaozhi, the giant deer in Nanjing, Yunzhou, Yanzhou and Xingzhou, the Jize in Mingzhou, Ping'en, and Feixiang County, the court promises to surrender, and will be rewarded with road supplies, and will not be blamed for the past mistakes."

.”

The imperial edict was ordered to supervise the censor Li Xing Huang Lian to appease the Jingdong Road body.

Huang Lian once impeached Yu Chong, the inspector general of the Supervisory Yuan, for being an acquaintance and enjoying wealth and rank. He also wrote a letter saying that Wang Zhongzheng was too heavy an envoy, fearing that he would worry about the future.

Zhao Xu argued: "Talents are indistinguishable. How can you control them with your ears?"

Huang Lian said to him: "Although it is true, it will not last long. This is why Su You refuses to accept the appointment of the governor of the feudal town."

"The sage has a long way to control, so the four evils are in the court, and Yong will not be deprived of time. They are all talented and talented, and they can be used as they please; but they are concerned about future generations, so they are put aside for death."

The first words are all right, but the last words are not human words. Zhao Xu directly asked Huang Lian to become Huang Lian: "Let's put aside this matter. The river defeated Cao Village, Jingdong was especially harmed, and now I am tired of you."
