Chapter 537: Carriage and Disaster Relief

On the platform, the ministers were talking about it. They had never seen a sand table before. They also knew what the sand table deduction was. But now they were affected by the disaster and used to deduce it. This is still surprising, nothing else, it is really too intuitive.

"The Ministry of Revenue will continue." Yang Jingwei explained and said to Bi Ziyan again.

"I obey the order..." Bi Ziyan immediately bowed and replied.

"...At this point, the Ministry of Revenue has summarized that this year's drought will present the following factors. First, the disaster is very positive, which affects several northern provinces and is widely distributed; Second, the distribution of people affected by disasters may be sporadic; Third, what can be determined now is that grain production will definitely be reduced. As for the extent of production reduction, it is unknown. Perhaps it may only be a little reduced, or perhaps it may be a large reduction, or perhaps it is not certain to have a complete harvest..." Bi Ziyan explained.

"...What can be determined is the above points and too many unknowns, and disaster relief is necessary and must be advanced. This involves a problem, how to provide disaster relief, how to effectively provide disaster relief, how to provide targeted disaster relief, how to do the most with the least amount of money..."

Having said that, many ministers have begun to nodge continuously. Today's incident has only started to start. Many people already know what the emperor means, so they start to nodge continuously.

Bi Ziyan began to constantly analyze the situation of the disaster this year and the response methods, and why it is done like this. The benefits of doing this naturally lead to the issue of the issue of the transformation of the post carriage and the father-in-law carriage.

"...These poster carriages and public carriages can usually transport documents to the court and transport migrant workers. If a severe disaster comes, a large number of public carriages from a county, a prefecture, a province, and a province can gather public carriages from a county, a prefecture, and a province, and specialize in transporting victims from a county, a prefecture, or even a prefecture. This method has the advantages of being flexible and quick to transfer victims from a county, a prefecture, and even a prefecture. This method can solve the natural disaster problem of our dynasty this year. Only this method can be applied to the drought situation and characteristics of our dynasty in the future..." Bi Ziyan briefly talked about the natural disaster situation and brought out what everyone knows about, the issue of poster carriages and public carriages. In his words, the poster carriages and public carriages were also described as magic weapons for disaster relief, which was the only one who knew.

After hearing Ziyan's explanation, the ministers nodded constantly. This matter was also expected by everyone.

"Okay, Bi Qing's family has also explained the way to deal with the drought this year. If you have any questions, please ask." Yang Jing asked everyone very democratically, hoping that if you don't understand, please ask and express your own opinions.

The ministers started to discuss again, and after a while, someone stood up.

"Report to Your Majesty, I would like to ask, how this post carriage and public carriage operates and how it can provide disaster relief. I wonder if Your Majesty can explain in detail?" someone asked.

The ministers nodded, and they knew about the post carriage and public carriage. Now they talked about this matter, it was nothing more than just going through a process and confirming the specific matter. The emperor asked everyone to ask, and everyone cooperated with him to ask a few questions. No minister really thought the emperor was discussing with everyone. If everyone disagreed with the emperor, he would take back the idea. Therefore, the questions asked were very cooperative. After all, if this matter was messed up, it would block the wealth of many people. As the saying goes, it is like killing parents. Therefore, there is no one who is blind to the point that he really came out to stop this matter.

"Is Liu Mao and Liu Qing's family there? You are more familiar with this matter, so tell me." Yang Jiefang said.

When the ministers heard this, they nodded again, looking like they should be like this. It seems that the emperor is indeed going to hand over this matter to Liu Mao as rumored...

"I'm here." Liu Mao's official was too young and could only stand in the corner. When he heard the emperor's question, he immediately stood up and agreed.

"...Well, you can answer this question." Yang Jingwei said.

"Report to Your Majesty, the operation of postal carriages is actually quite similar to the previous delivery stations of our dynasty. The previous delivery stations of our dynasty were also responsible for transporting food and supplies, but they were gradually abandoned and are now useless. Now this postal carriage is to increase the function of transporters on this basis. This is mainly to deal with the scattered and affected people. As Master Bi said, these people may be the kind of people who are somewhat weak and unwilling to immigrate to their homes. The natural disasters and the production is reduced. The family can only barely make a living by relying on the original income. If the natural disasters and reduced production, they will definitely not be able to survive. If the food of one person can be saved, the whole family will be alive. The post carriages are mainly to deal with these scattered people..."

"...The public carriages are to cope with sudden disasters. In this situation this year, a certain county has no income, the prefecture, and the provincial government can mobilize carriages from nearby prefectures, counties, prefectures, and provincial capitals to quickly transfer disaster victims, thereby reducing the time for relief and reducing the money and grain required for relief..." Liu Mao concentrating and serious explanation of the role of post carriages and public carriages.

Everyone who listened nodded. To be honest, everyone has already known this thing, and now it is a review.

"Report to Your Majesty, this gathering of public carriages from one county, one state, one province, and one province to transport disaster victims is indeed a very beautiful thing. It is indeed as Master Bi said, timely, flexible, and quick, and without any money from the court, governments in various places can even organize themselves. I want to ask, when this county, one state, one province, one province, one province, and one province, when it really needs to transport disaster victims, how many carriages can be mobilized? I mean, that kind of four-wheeled carriage..." another minister asked.

"Liu Mao, Liu Qing's family, you can answer." Yang Jinghui saw someone asking, and continued to hand over this topic to Liu Mao. This matter was considered a public matter. Yang Jinghui didn't want to talk too much.

"Report to Your Majesty, based on the situation of operating post-delivery carriages and public carriages these days, a big city like the capital needs at least two thousand public carriages. Because the capital is special, there may not be as many local horses and universities, which can be almost ignored. I will calculate public carriages. With two thousand cities like the capital, there are thirteen provinces, these are similar to those of the capital, or slightly fewer cities, and the public carriages needed.

, It should be between 1,000 and 2,000 vehicles, this is my preliminary estimate. For example, the prefecture and the city are much smaller and the prosperity is different. I estimate that, it should be between 300 and 1,000. Take the number of the middle, and there should be about 500 taels. The prefecture and county may be very few, which can be ignored. This is my preliminary estimate. For example, in Shandong, if there is a situation where a county has no harvest, the government level yamen mobilizes carriages to transport disaster victims, and at least 500 public carriages can be mobilized, which can be done at one time.

Transport at least 5,000 more than 5,000 victims, that is, if a general disaster occurs in a county, it can almost transport the victims out at one time. It really reflects the timely and flexibility of transporting the victims in carriages. If the Shandong Provincial Administration and the General Administration Office mobilizes the support of carriages from other governments, it can easily mobilize thousands or thousands of carriages, and transport tens of thousands of people at one time. Even if a county suffers a major disaster, a large number of victims will emerge.

The department mobilized public carriages in time, but in a very short time, the victims were transported all of them without the need to suffer in the local area..." Liu Mao now often wrung his gong on the street and beat them. The thick-skinned man talked in front of the ministers without any pressure, but was extremely decent. This surprised many people who were familiar with Liu Mao. The scholars had been separated for three days and looked at him with admiration. This statement can be used to describe Liu Mao. This calmness is rare.

"Report to Your Majesty, it is a kind thing to do when delivering horse carriages to help disaster victims, but how should this household registration problem be solved? If there are disaster victims in the local area who cannot survive and want to work or do business in the city, how should they handle it? Is it a private household, a merchant, or a craftsman? This matter is different from immigration. In addition, should the driver of the post carriage and public horse carriage be a private household or a military household?" Bi Ziyan asked.

As soon as this question arises, it is a bit surprising. This issue involves more issues, such as household registration, taxation, certain unspoken rules that limit the people to a certain range, or national policies. The ministers began to discuss it.

"Well, let's do this. Everything is based on the lives of the people, and everything is based on the relief of the disaster-stricken people. Since the local area cannot afford to raise so many people, we naturally cannot restrict people to the local area and let the people starve to death. This is extremely cruel. If the people cannot survive, they are willing to work in the city and do business, and the local area is deceiving the issue of household registration. The issue of household registration still depends on the wishes of the victims. Those who are willing to retain their original hometowns will still be retained. If they are willing to join the business or the craftsmanship, they will not stop it. I won't mention the tax issue for the time being. Now, disaster relief is the priority. Let's put these issues on hold for the time being, and we will talk about it later..." Yang Jing decided to lower the tone without waiting for discussion among the ministers.

The ministers originally had the emperor asked everyone, but they didn't expect that this would lead to a sage, which was a bit unexpected.

"... As for the matter of the coachman, although the postman relied on the Ministry of War..., let's separate it. The postman still follows the previous rules. In the past, the postman was the same as the origin. As for public carriages, there is no need. Most of the coachmans are mostly civilian households. They force others to become military households. They are afraid that others will not want to do so, so they put it aside. What is the previous name of the coachman? Now the matter is urgent. There are still a few months to escape. Now it is still unclear about this matter. It is really putting the cart before. I said that everything should be put to the lives of the victims first..." Yang Jing quickly set a downside.

This is also the reason why Yang's reform has been delayed for a long time. In addition to collecting more information and experience, the issue of household registration has always been a difficult problem. Now the household registration in the Ming Dynasty was very strict. The basic policy was to restrict the movement of the people, so as to limit the people to the local area as much as possible. The first priority is to restrict the people to the local area. The household registration is tax, tax, and corvee. In normal times, it is difficult to make the people move on a large scale, enter the city to work and do business. It is also possible only under large-scale natural disasters. However, even if there is a natural disaster, the people can move on a large scale, but the household registration problem involving the people is still a big problem, and it is still a shackle for the people. If you want to obtain a large number of labor and industrialization, this problem must be solved.

How to solve this problem is really involved. It may require changing the basic national policy of the Ming Dynasty. It cannot be changed at once, nor can it be changed at once. Today, Yang Jingjing does not have a very good, mature and reliable method, so it can only be put aside for the time being and ignore it. Let's talk about the situation in the future. Let's get people to the factory first. When the profit of the factory exceeds the land and a group of capitalists, this matter may be much easier to handle. Now, Yang Jingjing really doesn't want to compete with the inertia of the entire Ming Dynasty alone, which is too tiring.

"I obey the order!" Bi Ziyan replied, before the other ministers could recall the matter, this matter was decided like this. Some ministers curled their lips and wanted to say something, but they thought about it, but they didn't say it anymore. This household registration issue is really hard to say. Once it is said, it will involve a lot of problems. The more and more the problems are discussed, it will be a last resort. The emperor will put aside these issues and first make every effort to save the victims.

"Then let's do it like this. The post carriage must be arranged first. The public carriage must also be followed up in time. I will place an order for the carriage yard today. Everything should be arranged as soon as possible before July. Liu Mao, I will leave this matter to you. You can do it in the name of the imperial envoy to facilitate your actions..." Yang Jingwei said.

"I received the order!" Liu Mao replied impatiently. Now, his heart was put in his stomach. This job that was somewhat similar to immigration disaster relief finally fell on him with justification, and he was still an imperial envoy.

"This matter has something to do with immigrants, so you may need to contact the Ministry of Agricultural Science and Technology. If a large number of disaster victims need to immigrate, please contact the Ministry of Agricultural Science and Technology in advance and ask them to make arrangements..." Yang Jingwei said.

"I understand..." Liu Mao agreed.

"In addition, this matter is definitely not something you can do alone. It involves several provinces and may require a lot of staff. I promise you to mobilize some staff in various departments. In addition, you can also transfer a group of experienced students from the Imperial College to help you, so as not to have no time to clone..." Yang Jing announced again.

As soon as these words were said, the ministers were all over the top. Liu Mao had now entered the house all at once. It was not difficult to get a minister and a minister in the future. Today, he picked up such a big advantage. I don’t know what kind of life it was for. Each department mobilized personnel and the Imperial College was calling for a career. This treatment was directly followed by Xu Guangqi. Many people were secretly jealous. However, everyone knew that it was useless to oppose this matter. The emperor had originally planned to use Liu Mao. Now he wanted to take this job. Can the emperor agree? Besides, Liu Mao was also a Jinshi and was a minister. He had been in charge of this stubbornness. It was nothing wrong with the emperor. It was a normal appointment. Moreover, because of the matter of the starting point of the carriage, many people reached certain agreements with Liu Mao, but no one came out to object.
