In the Wenhua Hall, the discussion was still going on.
The new assistant minister Min Hongxue thought for a long time and finally bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is better to allocate some silver and then purchase grain from Bashu to alleviate the plight of the people of Qin.
"One" Hu Guang nodded after hearing this.
Outside of Shaanxi, in terms of wealth and stock, Sichuan is probably the most wealthy.
Although it experienced Tusi turmoil, it has been calmed down.
Nowadays, Sichuan's stock is higher than that of Gansu.
Shanxi does not have much stock of grain because Shanxi merchants smuggled grain to the rebels, and the seized grain must also be used for disaster relief in the capital.
As for the land of Henan, the drought is beginning to appear, and it is still necessary to use it for yourself, otherwise the Central Plains will be in chaos due to lack of food, and the impact will be much more serious than the chaos in Shaanxi.
He thought in his mind and listened to its meaning, so he hurriedly asked: "Min Qing is done, please come here."
"Secondly, I think it is inappropriate to repatriate them to their place of origin.
If the local government has the power to appease the victims, the victims will not become thieves.
It is better to gather together to fight the disaster, build roads, bridges, and water conservancy projects."
After Min Hongxue finished speaking, Wen Tiren immediately nodded and said: "This is a very good statement, I second it."
He knew very well what this fellow was capable of, and after thinking about it for a moment, he agreed without hesitation.
Hu Guang also nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
If he followed what Yang He said in the memorial and gave him money and food and repatriated him to his place of origin, it would save him trouble.
But how effective would it be?
Can all the money and food given be given to the victims to support them until the next time?
If anything is not done during the harvest, it is easy for the repatriated victims to become thieves again, just like in the original history.
As expected of a capable local official, all the strategies he implemented were effective, and there was no general talk at all.
This made Hu Guang very satisfied.
Regarding Wen Tiren's report two days ago, which said that the Imperial Academy would select people with experience in local government administration, Hu Guang was ready to turn around.
Otherwise, most of those Hanlin scholars have a background in academics and do not have any local experience, so it is easy for them to become armchair strategists.
He was thinking this, and just when he was about to open his mouth to play, there was an urgent report from the governor of Sichuan.
Hu Guang's heart sank when he heard it.
It was definitely not good to see it.
Sure enough, Hu Guang couldn't help but smile bitterly after reading it.
This thief is trying to make it more difficult to revive the Ming Dynasty.
He asked his chamberlain to forward the urgent report to his subordinates, while he recalled the contents of the urgent report in his mind.
"On the fourth day of December in the second year of Chongzhen, there was an earthquake in Chengdu.
It roared like thunder and trembled twelve times in a row.
The houses shook, the roosters croaked, the rivers swollen red, the landslides and the city collapsed, and many soldiers in the city towers were crushed to death.
Ming.
Songpanwei was shaken twice with thunderous sounds.
On the same day, a mountain collapsed and the city collapsed, killing several soldiers and civilians. , Weiyuan and others were shocked."
Earthquakes are actually not a rare thing for Sichuan.
Even in later generations, they are often heard of.
But this earthquake was a bit big.
I guess the city walls collapsed so much, it should have been level 6 or 7.
As for the number of people reported in the report, there were few in ancient times, and it was difficult for local officials to count the number of people buried, and they would habitually report to Shaoli, so they would only use vague words like "number of people" and "number of names."
When the ministers below had seen it, Hu Guang said with a serious face: "Bashu has just experienced a military disaster, and now the earth dragon is roaring again.
I'm afraid there will be no surplus food."
Regarding this situation, all the ministers were speechless.
We have no choice but to pick up some food from various places.
At this time, Hu Guang was deeply aware of the shortage of food, so he asked his chief assistant: "Is there any news from the Nanyang vassal country?"

"Your Majesty, the journey to Nanyang is far away, and there is no news at the moment."
Wen Tiren said after hearing this, "And we still need to discuss the amount of food tribute with each vassal country.
It will take time to satisfy both countries."
That's right, he was still impatient.
Hu Guang nodded after hearing this.
However, Min Hongxue was surprised and quickly asked about the situation, and Wen Tiren told him about getting grain from Nanyang.
After listening to this, Min Hongxue had a serious look on his face, and he immediately bowed to Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, I was on a tour to the southwest before.
I don't know about other Southeast Asian countries, but I know something about Dongwu.
I think it is difficult to pay tribute to food. " Dongwu was the Burma of later generations.
Hu Guang already knew this when he discussed Nanyang tribute grains.
When I heard Min Hongxue's words, I couldn't help but frown.
The Ming Dynasty must have been short of food for more than ten years.
It would be best to import food from outside.
He immediately asked Min Hongxue what was going on.
"Your Majesty, the leader of the Dongwu Kingdom is unruly and unruly.
He has been fighting for years and conquering everywhere.
Even the Tusi Mu State, which belongs to the Ming Dynasty, has been annexed by him."
When Hu Guang heard this, he felt that Mubang was very familiar.
Then he suddenly remembered that Ba Dengding in the junior group in the chat group was the self-proclaimed Mubang survivor.
"From this point of view, it would be extremely difficult to get Dongwu to pay tribute to grain."
After Min Hongxue finished speaking, his face suddenly hesitated, as if he wanted to speak again, but in the end he did not say anything.
After hearing this, Hu Guang couldn't help but said: "It seems that the Nanyang countries have not known the majesty of our Ming Dynasty for a long time, and they dare to annex my Ming Dynasty.
They are really audacious."
After hearing what he said, Wen Tiren's expression changed.
Could it be that the emperor wanted to use troops against Dong Wu?
In the current situation, how could we start another war?
With this thought in mind, he was about to open his mouth to remonstrate, but the emperor suddenly changed his subject and said, "Whenever I, the Ming Dynasty, have enough power, I will make them pay the price."
Upon hearing this, Wen Tiren felt that fortunately, although the emperor was young, he was not impulsive, so he didn't have to waste his words.
Min Hongxue was different from him.
His eyes were wide open when he heard this, and his eyes were bright, as if he wanted to see clearly the emperor's inner thoughts.
However, Hu Guang did not mention Dongwu again, and instead discussed Yang He's memorial.
He had also heard about Hong Chengchou recommended by Yang He in later generations.
At this time, he proposed it.
Without the unanimous approval of the courtiers, he agreed to Hong Chengchou's succession.
The post of governor of Yansui.
The meeting lasted for almost half a day.
Hu Guang was just about to take a break after the meeting when he heard the chamberlain report that Sun Chengzong, the Grand Scholar of Jiliao Superintendent of the Ministry of War and the Crown Prince, had come to Beijing to pay an audience.
Sun Chengzong was originally supposed to come to Beijing with King Qin's army at the end of last year, but it was only because of Yongping's consolation that he had no choice but to postpone it until now.
For the Ming Dynasty, Sun Chengzong's hard work and merits were great, so after hearing the report, he quickly ordered an audience.
Hu Guang even walked to the entrance of Wenhua Hall and personally greeted Sun Chengzong.
This kind of treatment was the first in the Chongzhen Dynasty, which made Sun Chengzong burst into tears of gratitude.
He couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of his original intention of rushing here this time.
However, he remembered that the state affairs were like this, and it was a helpless move, so he suppressed what he was thinking, and after greetings and greetings, he explained the main reason for coming to the capital to meet the Holy Spirit
