Locusts in June cover the sky and the sun. Snow in June covers the summer.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao and the ministers in the court all understood that if there is no disaster relief now, when the youth and bad luck come, they would otherwise have famine.&1t;/p>

"Locust plague can be especially cured. The snow in June is a sign of yin and yang failure. Yan'an Prefecture is now snowing in June, and there may be a severe drought in a few years." A court official said.&1t;/p>

"Absurd, today's sage, how can the yin and yang be missed?"&1t;/p>

During the morning court, this issue was mentioned in a short while. The yin and yang error was only a point of view from an academic perspective. Which literati have never learned the basic theory of Yin and Yang and Five Elements?&1t;/p>

Yin and Yang are balanced in themselves. Now there is snow in June and severe droughts in the future can indeed be inferred through theory.&1t;/p>

Although the ministers all agree with this statement in their hearts, they do not agree with it in their mouths.&1t;/p>

Zhu Youxiao saw a group of Han Emperor Party officials fighting on this point of view, and quickly stopped it and said, "Your dear friends, don't argue, the abnormality of the celestial phenomena is not unique to me, my Ming Dynasty, and both Europa and Japan have been there in recent years. However, the yin and yang are indecisive, it is not an exaggeration. The court should prepare early to avoid being in a hurry in the future."&1t;/p>

Obviously, this view of the yin and yang failure is indeed not an exaggeration. Zhu Youxiao, as a time traveler, knew clearly that Yan'an Prefecture had a very serious drought in the first year of Chongzhen ascending the throne, so that the grassroots and tree bark were eaten up in the year, and at the same time, starving people were everywhere, causing the terrifying phenomenon of people eating people.&1t;/p>

"Your Majesty, this time the locusts and snow are born after summer harvest. There is more food left for the court after summer harvest. The time for disaster relief is quite sufficient, but the court should still formulate disaster relief policies as soon as possible." Shen Qing never quarreled, but brought the topic back.&1t;/p>

"The court is in Shandong, and how much grain reserve warehouse in Shaanxi is now stored?" Zhu Youxiao asked immediately.&1t;/p>

Guo Yunhou, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, immediately responded: "Report to Your Majesty, Shaanxi's strategic reserve grain storage warehouse now has 50,000 shi of wheat, of which 30,000 shi of grain are stored in Xi'an. 20,000 shi of grain are stored in Yan'an, 60,000 shi of grain are stored in Shandong's strategic reserve grain are stored in wheat, 30,000 shi of wheat, and 30,000 shi of Jinan Prefecture. There are also 30,000 shi in Denglai area."&1t;/p>

"The cabinet immediately proposed a plan for labor-for-relief, and opened the warehouse and released the grain as soon as possible." Zhu Youxiao took the first response measure to ensure that no one starved to death, and continued to order: "In addition, 30,000 stones of grain will be transported to northern Shaanxi."&1t;/p>

"Your Majesty's wiseness."&1t;/p>

On the same day, the cabinet came up with a plan for labor-for-relief, and took measures to exchange locusts for food for locusts in Jinan Prefecture. People were encouraged to catch locusts. At the same time, the government organized the locust control, and all participants were given food.&1t;/p>

In northern Shaanxi, the government organized the people to go north to Hetao to build water conservancy facilities to carry out Hetao irrigation agriculture. All participating people were given food and some wages.&1t;/p>

At the same time, the order was ordered to abolish the border army organization in Yansui Town. Some of the military households were transferred to Hetao to reclaim land, each household was given 50 mu of land, and some were transferred to Jilin and Heilongjiang to reclaim land. According to the different areas of land reclamation, the land was distributed to 200 mu to 30 mu.&1t;/p>

The border army in Yansui Town is definitely a magnitude time bomb, especially when there are frequent natural disasters in northern Shaanxi. Zhu Youxiao is already eager to remove the border army in Yansui Town.&1t;/p>

The layoff of the old-style army was also Zhu Youxiao's military centralization method.&1t;/p>

If you want to keep Shaanxi from chaos and not have peasant uprisings, then you must first resettle these border troops and distribute them land. It is the most important thing to make them eat enough and live a stable life.&1t;/p>

A few days later, Zhu Youxiao issued another order to order Yan'an Prefecture to increase immigration publicity. Those who are willing to immigrate in northern Shaanxi will provide them with food for cars and horses along the way, and each person will provide 3 yuan of immigration subsidy.&1t;/p>

At this time, the treasury was very full, because the salt merchant's assets had been sold for 6 consecutive days, and the cash found in about oo million yuan was not moved.&1t;/p>

All immigration subsidy phone fees will be allocated by the state treasury.&1t;/p>

At the same time, the border army immigrants in Yansui Town were reclaimed, and each household subsidized one ox, several agricultural tools, and ten yuan in silver. After all, they were military households and belonged to the bottom of the imperial system. Since the founding of the country, military households have been hereditary. They guarded the borders for the Ming Dynasty for generations, and the immigrant treatment given by the imperial court was naturally better than that of ordinary people.&1t;/p>

In addition, it is also to completely avoid the possibility of mutiny.&1t;/p>

Under the emperor's big deal, when the immigration policy was spread to Yansui Town, the military households in Yansui Town caused a sensation. Almost every household was looking forward to this policy.&1t;/p>

After Yansui Town was abolished, they will no longer be military households, no longer have to take on the task of guarding the border, and military officers will no longer be able to take care of them. It is impossible to continue to squeeze them.&1t;/p>

Immigration to Liaodong can also obtain land, and there are strong subsidies from the court. As long as you are willing to concentrate on farming, you can have food and clothing without worries. Any ordinary military household does not want to live such a good life, which will make the subsequent sanctions and withdrawals of Yansui Town smooth.&1t;/p>

The Central Army was also quickly dispatched to Hetao and northern Shaanxi areas to replace Yansui Town’s border guarding task. More than 100,000 border troops in Yansui Town soon began to immigrate. The government specially designed a large number of horse-drawn carriages for them and arranged food and accommodation along the way. The immigrant military households immigrated one after another to outside the pass.&1t;/p>

The snow in June continued in northern Shaanxi, and soon a month passed. The snow had fallen for two months. Although it was sometimes intermittent, the autumn seedlings in the fields were basically frozen to death. In June, everyone in northern Shaanxi was a big cotton jacket.&1t;/p>

In just one month, most of the military households are already on the way to immigrate, and the military households under them will also make arrangements to set off in half a month.&1t;/p>

At the same time, more than 200,000 people were organized in northern Shaanxi who were preparing to immigrate. After these people arrived in Liaodong, they mainly went to Liaodong to work as workers and did not allocate land to them.&1t;/p>

But even if they become workers, their lives are much better than those in northern Shaanxi. Moreover, after they gained a foothold in Liaodong, if they want land, they can go to Heilongjiang and other places to reclaim land by themselves.&1t;/p>

The population of immigrants in the entire northern Shaanxi region reached more than 600,000. After these populations immigrated to the Northeast, they will greatly supplement the labor force in the Northeast.&1t;/p>

Because the autumn wheat was exhausted, almost all the rural laborers in northern Shaanxi left the village and went to work on the government construction site.&1t;/p>

Various construction projects have also been started. The military has Hetao defense projects to be built, and at the same time, there are water conservancy facilities to be built in the Hetao area.&1t;/p>

Not long after, Zhu Youxiao issued another imperial edict to allocate funds from the state treasury to build a strategic highway from northern Shaanxi to Shaanxi.&1t;/p>

After this strategic highway was built to Xi'an, it will extend northward to northern Shaanxi and Hetao. The other will continue to extend westward to Gansu.&1t;/p>

Improved traffic is an important measure for disaster relief, which can transport disaster relief materials to the affected areas faster and at low cost. At the same time, it can greatly improve the central government's control over local areas.&1t;/p>

It is also conducive to commodity transportation and can expand the commodity export market of the royal consortium.&1t;/p>

It can be said that the fifth year of Tianqi was a year when Zhu Youxiao was constantly centralized and putting out fires. Yansui Town was successfully abolished, and the Jiubian had four towns removed, and the border troops with the remaining five towns will also be rescinded by 6 within two years.&1t;/p>

This year, we are also making every effort to open the Northeast region, hoping that the Northeast region will become an important support for the Ming Dynasty to survive the crisis in the future.&1t;/p>

In just two quarters, the population of immigrants to the Northeast region reached about three million, which has increased the population of the Northeast region to more than eight million, and is expected to exceed tens of millions by the end of the year.&1t;/p>

The Northeast region is full of construction sites, and a large number of workers are busy on the construction sites. With so many people flocking to the Northeast, the local grain is obviously not enough. However, the North Zhili has transferred grain to Liaodong, and the town east province has caught a large amount of fishery products in the Hokkaido fishing grounds and began to supply them to the Northeast and Guanlin areas, which has enabled the court to successfully feed the population that has left the land and invested in construction.&1t;/p>

"Your Majesty, the Navy reported that it had been successfully exploring northwestern America, and they explored upstream along the estuary, and achieved many salmon, and also found many otters."&1t;/p>

Lu Xiangsheng reported to the emperor the military affairs of the Supreme Command. At this time, Lu Xiangsheng served in the Supreme Command, and his main job was to help the emperor handle military affairs.&1t;/p>

"Let the Navy protect relevant enterprises to immigrate to the area to open up these resources." Zhu Youxiao instructed.&1t;/p>

"Yes, Your Majesty."&1t;/p>

"In addition, after the Navy's exploration fleet continued to move south through the South Ocean, Australia successfully emerged. The Navy reported that the Australian indigenous life was extremely primitive and could not even slash-and-burn farming."&1t;/p>

"No need to immigrate to Australia for the time being. Let's swallow the South China Ocean first. Order the Navy to concentrate its exploration forces on the islands of the South China Ocean first, and concentrate its efforts to attack the Dutch colonists, and expel the Dutch from the South China Ocean as soon as possible." Zhu Youxiao continued: "In addition, since the Spaniards have been successfully expelled from the South China Ocean region by us, let the Navy establish trade relations with the countries on the Indochina Peninsula first to expand the scale of sea trade."&1t;/p>

While opening the Northeast region, Zhu Youxiao naturally would not relax his strategy in Nanyang.&1t;/p>

At this time, the Supreme Command also determined the strategy of expanding south under the instructions of Zhu Youxiao. This strategy is very simple, that is, to expel the Spaniards and the Dutch from the South China Sea first, so as to generally bring European forces out of the South China Sea.&1t;/p>

The only Portuguese who are not yet under the attack have weak colonial ability, and they are more obedient and obedient than the rules, so there is no need to rush to drive away for the time being.&1t;/p>

While driving away the Europeans, they first launched colonial wars against the islands of Nanyang, and immigrated the Han people to Nanyang to reclaim land and open resources.&1t;/p>

In the Indochina Peninsula, which has higher productivity, the policy of trading, opening and colonizing is adopted.&1t;/p>

That is, to establish trade relations first, and then force countries on the Indochina Peninsula to reduce trade tax rates through force, and at the same time allow Ming merchants to invest in the Indochina Peninsula, focusing on agricultural resources on the Indochina Peninsula through commercial investment, thereby obtaining a commercial grain supply base.&1t;/p>

At that time, you will fight any restless person, and gradually turn the Indochina Peninsula into the place of raw material supply and the place of dumping goods for the Ming Dynasty. (To be continued.)&1t;/p>
