I defeated Emperor Chongzhen at the beginning!

Chapter 154: Natural and Man-made Disasters!

"That's all, that's all." Zhu Youjian waved his hand and said, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Hearing Zhu Youjian's words, Li Yi slowly stood up from the ground, but still lowered her head.

Seeing Li Yi's appearance, Zhu Youjian shook his head slightly, turned his head to look at Wang Chengen, and said: "Master Wang, you take people to Jiangxi first, and you must ensure that the victims in Jiangxi will not encounter a catastrophe. I will go to support as soon as possible.”

"Promise, I will obey the order." Wang Chengen heard this, and quickly agreed.

As soon as Wang Chengen's voice fell, Zhu Youjian took his guards and galloped away.

Zhu Youjian rushed all the way and rushed directly to Jiangxi. His car parked directly outside the Jiangxi prefect's yamen, and then asked the imperial guards who were driving to park the car, and he led people into the Jiangxi prefect's yamen.

Seeing Li Yi appearing, Zhu Youjian glanced at him indifferently, and asked, "Li Aiqing, what's the situation in Jiangxi now?"

Hearing Zhu Youjian's question, Li Yi said with a solemn face: "Reporting to the emperor, the disaster victims in Jiangxi are now displaced and displaced everywhere, and many good fields have been abandoned, and many manors have been destroyed. The situation in various places is very bad now. It's a heavy burden."

"So, where are the prefects of various places now?" Hearing Li Yi's report, Zhu Youjian's face changed slightly, and then he asked in a deep voice.

"If you go back to the emperor, the prefects and county magistrates from all over the country are already preparing to go to Jiangxi." Li Yi replied.

"Well, I see, you go and prepare immediately." Hearing Li Yi's report, Zhu Youjian pondered for a while, then nodded.

"No, I'll go get ready now." Hearing Zhu Youjian's words, Li Yi hurriedly responded respectfully, and then led the people away.

Looking at the back of Li Yi and others leaving, Zhu Youjian's mouth outlined an ugly smile. He didn't expect that the flood situation in Jiangxi would be so bad.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian sighed secretly, and said to himself: "Could it be, is this the Little Ice Age in the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Youjian thought to himself.

All counties in the south of the Yangtze River, officials at all levels, and prefects everywhere have been dispatched, and they have brought people to prepare for disaster relief.

At this time, in the Yamen of Jiangxi prefect, Wang Chengen was discussing something with his staff.

"Master Wang, our situation in Jiangxi is really terrible. Our current population has been reduced by as much as [-]%." A civil servant said worriedly.

Hearing what the official said, Wang Chengen nodded.

Then he pondered for a while, and said, "That's right, our situation in Jiangxi is really terrible."

"But what should we do now?" the official continued to ask.

"Ah." Hearing the official's words, Wang Chengen sighed deeply, and then said: "The current situation can only pray, the threat of natural disasters and man-made disasters is not great, if possible. be able to respond in a timely manner.”

Hear Wang Chengen's words.The clerk nodded, but there was a hint of hesitation on his face.

"Master Wang, I think we should strengthen our defenses." Seeing the official's expression, Wang Chengen frowned and asked, "Why do we strengthen our defenses?"

"We can build a defense line inside the city and deploy soldiers on the city wall." The official said, "I think the most urgent thing now is not Jiangxi, but the south. There are still some cities in the south that have not been affected."

Hearing the official's words, Wang Chengen frowned slightly, and said, "You mean, we should defend the southern city now to prevent the southern city from being affected?"

"Yes, I think we should do this." Hearing what Wang Chengen said, the clerk said, "Because we have no time to take care of him now, we must take precautions first."

Hearing the official's words, Wang Chengen nodded slightly.

He also knew that his clerk was right.

"Master Wang, tell me, if the victims lose control of their emotions and they keep attacking us, what should we do?" At this time, another official came over and said to Wang Chengen.

Hear the questioning of the official.Wang Chengen's face became slightly silent. He thought for a while and said, "I think. We should organize a joint organization as soon as possible. Only in this way can we resist the victims and ensure the governance of Jiangxi and Jiangnan. In this case, we Only then can we guarantee our food and life.”

"Your Excellency Wang is wise." Hearing Wang Chengen's words, the aides of the Jiangxi prefect nodded.

"Yes, at this moment, our main task is to stabilize the victims and not allow them to continue to make trouble." Hearing the praise from his staff, Wang Chengen showed a confident look on his face.

He believes his decision is the right one.

The disasters in Jiangxi and Jiangnan are the two most serious places. The disaster in Jiangxi is not bad. After all, the disaster is not very serious, just a little more serious.

However, the disaster situation in the south of the Yangtze River is more complicated. This time the flood in the south of the Yangtze River is really too bad, so this situation happened.

And this situation is extremely unfavorable for Wang Chengen.

He felt that the flood was very serious, and the emotions of the victims were also very intense, but there were not so many victims in his own territory.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"Master Wang, I think there are too many victims in Jiangxi. I think we should gather all the food and water for this flood." At this moment, an aide said.

After hearing what this staff member said, Wang Chengen nodded slightly and said, "This is a good idea, but now our Jiangxi granary cannot hold so many victims. There is already a lot of food in the granary. , In addition, the victims also need to eat, and the food is simply not enough to meet the needs of the victims. I think we still need to mobilize food and grass from other places."

"Master Wang, we should bring food and grass from Jiangbei. In this case, there may be room. Moreover, the food transported from Jiangbei is much more abundant than ours in Jiangxi." At this time, another aide reminded.

Hearing the words of these staff, this Wang Chengen fell into deep thought.

"Yes, transferring a batch of grain from Jiangbei may be able to relieve some of the disaster in Jiangxi, or ease the emotions of the victims. This is a good way, but I don't know if the local officials in Jiangbei will agree?"
