Chapter 223: Excellent immigration skills

Xu Guangqi, Sun Chengzong, and Bi Ziyan, these three confidants did not agree with the emperor's wholesale official hat. This behavior is absolutely impossible.

Although Yang Jingwei was a little regretful, he decided to obey his confidants. Perhaps he thought it too simply.

However, Bi Ziyan obviously had to understand the superiority more than the two imperial masters. After thinking about it, he said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I don't know whether to say it or not."

"Tell me, there is nothing that cannot be said." Yang Jingwei said.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty gives the person who assists in disaster relief an official position or official rank, which really helps increase the enthusiasm of the disaster relief people. Since the Imperial College is not convenient for giving official rank, why don't Your Majesty draw a group from this year's new Jinshi to help organize disaster relief? In this way, Your Majesty, there is no problem in giving official positions." Bi Ziyan gave the emperor an idea to let Jinshi serve as disaster relief officials. In this way, the disaster relief officials can have official ranks, and there is no problem in this.

Yang Jie's eyes lit up, looked at Bi Ziyan, and said, "Well, Bi Aiqing, it makes sense. What do the two masters think?"

Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong looked at each other.

Xu Guangqi said: "Report to Your Majesty, I think this method is acceptable."

"Your Majesty, I also think this law is practiced." Sun Chengzong did not object to this matter.

"So, since that's OK, let's see what grade or official position should be given?"

Xu Guangqi thought for a while and said, "Report to Your Majesty, this Jinshi has always been a member of the Ministry of Education. The Ministry of Education is the sixth rank, and the outside is usually the county magistrate and the seventh rank." Xu Guangqi did not directly answer what position and official rank should be given, but gave a reference option. This is what needs to be paid attention to when a minister. You are the one who decides everything, so the emperor is afraid that he will have any objection to you.

"The chief officer? The sixth rank? The county magistrate, the seventh rank? There are more than 300 new Jinshi this year, which means that at least, it will be a seventh rank?" Yang Jing felt that being a Jinshi was really NB! Once he came out, he was at least a department-level cadre. A little better, he was a deputy department-level cadre. No wonder in ancient times, everything was inferior, and only if he had high school studies, he would not give up the path of the imperial examination if he had hope!

"Report to Your Majesty, yes, Your Majesty has more than 300 enrollment departments this year, and generally the minimum is a seventh-rank county magistrate." Xu Guangqi affirmed.

"The seventh grade is the seventh grade. Since that's the case, we will give all positions in the seventh grade. Master Xu, look, how many people are needed?"

"Report to Your Majesty, just like the Hongwu period of our reign, we set up the Department of Agricultural Affairs, and the Emperor Majesty sent an imperial envoy to take charge of the overall immigration situation. However, the situation is different from that time. Now there are many people who have moved, and the time is urgent. Therefore, I suggest that Your Majesty can set up a Department of Agricultural Affairs Bureau in the affected counties, establish a Department of Agricultural Affairs Bureau, specializing in immigration, and several immigration officials. Each immigration official leads a group of people to move, responsible for contacting and preserving immigration along the way. I roughly calculated that Shaanxi, Henan, Huguang and other counties involving immigration are afraid that there will be no less than one or two hundred people. The people needed are very large..." When he said this, Xu Guangqi realized that his plan might be really huge, and he wholesales one or two hundred seventh-rank chief officials at once, and there are also many immigration officials who assist in immigration. This... I don't know whether the Ming Dynasty's officialdom likes or hates him.

"Master Xu said that in the past, an official led a group of people to immigrate? Is that true?" It was the first time that Yang Jing heard that ancient immigrants did this, and they were very interested in this.

"Report to Your Majesty, if the immigration is voluntary, then the court only needs to send an official to lead the way. This official is responsible for contacting and protecting the immigration during the immigration process, and all the migration registration and licenses are under this official's responsibility. If you encounter people who are unwilling to move, it will be more difficult. In addition to the officials responsible for leading, it is necessary to use the garrison troops to force the migration, which is more troublesome. However, with His Majesty's full support, it is also a year of famine, and the place to move is also a land of fish and rice. It should not be too difficult. I believe that as long as you communicate well with the victims, it should not be a problem." Xu Guangqi explained.

"Oh! So that's it, I understand. By the way, how did the team leader of this immigrant in the past solve the problem?" Yang Jing's current plan is to use Jinshi students who are still studying in the Jinshi class, and they may need to use one or two hundred Jinshi as immigration officials at one time, and then send one or two thousand prison students to assist. I don't know how they did it before.

"Report to Your Majesty, although the immigration during the Hongwu period was known to have immigrated millions, the time span was relatively large and decades. Therefore, unlike the time is tight now, hundreds of immigrant officials were needed at once. At that time, more noble imperial officials or some local officials who were idle at home were dispatched to take charge. There was no need to be as large as it is now, and time was urgent." Xu Guangqi explained again.

"Oh! So that's what it is. I understand."

Yang Jing nodded. It is necessary to use the previous immigration policies and immigration methods. After all, this is the closest to the facts and most conducive to implementation. However, the previous methods are also different from the current situation and cannot be exactly the same.

"Master Xu continued to say." Yang Qie waved his hand, so Xu Guangqi continued to say.

"Your Majesty, I think that each prefecture and county farming bureau can assign several officers and clerks to co-organize immigration affairs, and the immigration officials can assign several officers to assist immigrant officials in immigration. This officer, clerk, can be appointed as the supervisor of the Imperial College, or local students." Xu Guangqi said here, stopped again and looked at the emperor.

Yang Jie listened carefully and was also analyzing carefully, asking: "This immigrant is basically just going to the county, right? Didn't go deep into the township or village?" Yang Jie found that the lowest level of administrative capacity in the Ming Dynasty was the county. Now, Xu Guangqi's immigration plan is only arranged at the county level.

Xu Guangqi was shocked! Going deep into the countryside? This... the emperor's imagination was so rich. He originally thought that every county that was affected was established was a farming bureau, which was already very luxurious. Now the emperor actually asked himself why he didn't go deep into the countryside? It's hard to imagine how many people he had to use.

Yang Jie just said something casually. Seeing Xu Guangqi's shocked look, he knew that what he said might be a little "ignorant", and said, "Switch on, continue."

Xu Guangqi continued to explain his plan in amazement.

"Your Majesty, in addition to these, you also need the cooperation of the garrison troops in various places to escort and escort along the way to prevent riots during the immigration process or robbing money by thieves. This should be paid attention to... However, now it is disaster relief, so there is no need to be afraid that immigrants will riots, just defend against robbery by thieves..." Xu Guangqi explained the immigration method and the points that need to be paid attention to.

Through Xu Guangqi's continuous analysis and explanation, the immigration project of a group of millions of people migrating thousands of miles in the Ming Dynasty gradually became clear. Yang Jingyi kept tapping the table with his fingers and was thinking deeply.

After a while, Yang Jinghui came to his senses from this deep thought.

"Well, very good. I have some understanding of this immigration work. However, I still want to ask, how does Master Xu plan to arrange this money work?" Yang Jingwei asked again.

Xu Guangqi thought for a long time and said, "Your Majesty, in terms of money, I plan to immigrate to a designated location and give it to 30%. After the lake is built and the embankment is completed, the fields are distributed, and the remaining ones are given. Only in this way can we ensure that after the immigration is successful in building the fields, we have money to buy agricultural tools and seeds, and we can still live." Xu Guangqi explained.

Yang Jingying calculated that although Xu Guangqi could trust himself, it did not mean that he could trust others. This should also be done by himself using his own "convention" and sending an accounting team to be responsible for the verification and supervision of money.

"Master Xu, can there be any countermeasures for the issue of money and supervision?" Yang Jing asked again.

"This... Your Majesty, I plan to transfer a group of clerks and accountants from the Ministry of Revenue to specialize in money." Xu Guangqi felt nervous when talking about this issue. This was a tens of millions of dollars in money! Although he said that he would transfer some people from the Ministry of Revenue, it might not be enough. The money is too much.

"Let's do this, I'll send a group of middle-aged officials who are good at accounting and are aware of accounting to assist Master Xu in checking and supervising money. Of course, Master Xu still has the final say on how to use money. The middle-aged officials I've sent will not interfere with Master Xu's affairs. They are only responsible for checking accounts and managing accounts." This is not the first time that eunuchs have done this in the use of their own money. Only one or two eunuchs have been sent out, and the more ones have been sent out, a group of eunuchs will be sent out. Anyway, I will not let go of the supervision of this money. I will make some money by myself.

Xu Guangqi said nothing and agreed: "As for your order, Your Majesty." The emperor was sure of the use of this silver, after all, tens of millions of taels of silver.

After talking about a question, Yang Guifei still knocked on the table with his hands and continued to think deeply about the issue of immigration, and he had to be cautious.

"Master Xu, how do you operate and prepare for purchasing and mobilizing grain? How do you operate transporting grain?" Yang Jingwei asked again.

"Report to Your Majesty, in terms of mobilizing grain, in addition to purchasing part of it, most of it still relies on mobilization in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River. The taxes discussed earlier were increased, and the grain was collected directly, and stored in major warehouses in Jiangnan together with the original grain. The grain was transported and shipped directly from the warehouses... The food was transported. I planned to hire a batch of merchant ships, and I built a portion of the ships. Then I used a large number of immigrants to assist in the transportation of grain by myself. I stationed along the river in difficult and dangerous areas of the river, so that the ship could pass quickly and transported to disaster-stricken places such as Henan and Shaanxi. Later, the relief of these immigrants was gathered and set up in Linhe. Most of them were located in Linhe.

In this way, even if some victims do not know where to eat or where to survive, they only need to go down the river and always find relief points set up by the dynasty. Once they find relief points, they can eat on the spot, receive relief, or transport them to the south immediately... My plan is to use waterways, waterways to feed grains, and waterways to immigrate. This will facilitate rapid migration of immigrants and convenient for nearby transportation of grains. I do not plan to travel long distances to transport grains to various prefectures and counties to distribute, or only transport a small part. In this way, it can save food to the greatest extent..." Xu Guangqi explained.

"Babababa..." After hearing Xu Guangqi's detailed plan, Yang Jie felt that Xu Guangqi was quite talented and actually set up the relief site by the river, not by land. In this way, the whole process of water, the transportation of grain and people can save the greatest amount. The victims only need to go down the river and always find relief sites. This design has to be said to be very clever. This can solve the problem of difficulty in immigrant mobilization to the greatest extent. Since you have come to the immigration site, it means you "agree" to move.

This is much better than forced immigration. If it is a normal year, it may be difficult to let others immigrate. However, if it is a disaster year, the court has relief and is responsible for planting you. As long as you go down the river, you will not be hungry and have planting fields. This, I have to say, is a very clever technique. This is definitely much more clever than using the army to force immigration. When someone has no food to eat and cannot survive, there is a way to live. I believe that most people will choose to go down the river.

What's even more amazing is that the Ming Dynasty was a farming civilization, and the people all farmed. The first priority of farming was to have water. With water, there must be ditches. The ditches must be connected to streams, streams must be connected to rivers, and rivers must be connected to rivers. In this way, Shaanxi and Henan were scattered to various places, with the people and farmers in the corners of the mountains connected to the relief points of the court through rivers. This design has to be said to be very amazing and very clever. It saves manpower and material resources to the greatest extent.

"Okay, okay, okay... I understand, this is good. According to Master Xu's idea, all immigrants only need to go down the river and always find a place for relief? Once the relief point is reached, the immigration will be much simpler, right? Master Xu... Hahaha... Why didn't you say this method earlier? If you want to say it earlier, I'm afraid I won't be so worried and depressed, hahaha... Hahaha..."

Yang Jing has been struggling and thinking about the issues of disaster relief and immigration, which makes him very dull. He has a bitter face all day long and is in a bad mood. Now that he is furious and has a clever immigration plan, this person is much cheerful and laughs. It turns out that seemingly troublesome and cumbersome disaster relief immigrants can also be so simple and clever. If Xu Guangqi's design is designed, this immigration will save a lot of trouble!

Xu Guangqi stood there with a calm face, not looking complacent, as if this clever idea was not worth mentioning at all. In fact, Xu Guangqi was a little proud in his heart, deliberately leaving this issue behind, which was to play a trump card. If he had developed such a long-term disaster relief plan and had no highlights, he might as well go back to his hometown to hold his grandson.

After hearing Xu Guangqi's plan, Sun Chengzong was also attracted by the cleverness and cleverness of the plan. This idea was indeed brilliant and could not help but praise him immediately: "Your Majesty, it's not that I praise Zixian. This idea is indeed brilliant and clever, that is, to the greatest extent, you can use ships to quickly pick up the refugees and go down the river to the south. This is simply a killing of multiple goals! Such disaster relief is unheard of! Great, brilliant!" Sun Chengzong did not praise others easily, but today Xu Guangqi's idea was really amazing. If you don't praise a few times, you will be sorry for yourself.

As soon as Xu Guangqi's wonderful idea came out, the light in the Wenhua Palace became brighter, and the depressing atmosphere was also wiped out, and the emotions of the king and his ministers became much happier.

Bi Ziyan also couldn't help but admire him. Sure enough, Jiang is so hot that Xu Guangqi was called a master by the emperor. It seems that his name is actually true! Xu Guangqi is a role model for him to learn from! He also praised him a few words.

"Your Majesty, Xu Shaobao's idea is really impossible to say. It's amazing. As far as I know, the consumption of grain along the river is the smallest. The food transported from the south to Kaifeng, the food consumes only one stone for more than one stone. If it is transported to Xi'an, it consumes more than two stones. If it is transported by land to the border of Shaanxi, there are only one stone for more than a few dou. If all the reliefs are in the river, then the food consumed is much smaller, far easier than transporting it to every county. If the people have no food, they will definitely go down the river, which is simple and easy to understand and easy to do. In this way, immigration will become simple, much better than forcing the people to immigrate... Xu Shaobao is a talented person, so I am not as good as me..." Bi Ziyan praised Xu Guangqi in a high profile.

After Xu Guangqi's idea came out, the Wenhua Palace was filled with ease and joy. The burden of immigration on the monarch and ministers was much easier.

"Indeed, Master Xu is a great talent! This, I will be rewarded by Master Xu. This one needs to be promoted..." Yang Jingwei is preparing to be promoted. If such a big thing is not rewarded, it would be unreasonable, but I can't remember for a while, what official should I be promoted.

"If you can't do it, you can't do it. Your Majesty, this is all your duty. How can you dare to ask for promotion again..." Xu Guangqi kept refusing.

Yang Jing was helpless. After a long time in the Ming Dynasty, he only knew some of the basics about the Ming Dynasty. He was far from knowing the truth. Most of them were based on plots in TV or novels. Now it was time to get promoted. Unfortunately, he didn't understand the official system, level, rules, etc., so he could only arrest Wang Chengen for emergency treatment.

When Wang Chengen saw the emperor wave to him, he immediately approached the emperor. Yang Jie waved again. Wang Chengen got closer. Yang Jie asked in a low voice: "Big companion, look, what kind of official should I add now?"

Wang Chengen, the Emperor also asked himself about such things, and said in a very difficult manner: "Your Majesty, I really can't speak for this matter! I am a eunuch. How dare I say such a big thing?" Wang Chengen begged.
Chapter completed!
