Wei Liangchen's words came from the heart. It was not that he was unwilling to help these people, but it was really difficult for him to ask him to go to the City God Temple to worship the gods and pray for rain.

If you ask for rain, it’s just a matter of not asking for rain. Wouldn’t he, the dignified Secretariat, lose all his face?

Liangchen just arrived in the morning. This place belongs to the Zhongzuowei Office of Guangning, known as Niuanbao, and is a small town where only hundreds of people live.

Since August, the land of Liaodong has been short of rain, and the Ningjin area is better. After passing Jinzhou, Guangning, along with Jinzhou, Gaizhou and other places in the south, it can be said that the rain will not fall.

If it doesn’t rain, people can survive, but the crops in the fields cannot survive. The crops in the fields cannot survive. The people in Liaodong will probably have to eat high-priced rice in the coming year, and then sell their wives and daughters, and will be disbanded.

Liangchen really saw the difficulties in rice prices and transportation in Liaodong.

When he came from Jinzhou, he also saw many local officials along the way, bringing gentry and people to pray for rain. Unfortunately, their hearts were sincere, but it still didn't rain after a few days.

Liangchen was vaguely worried because he knew very well that the bad weather changes were not a matter of one year or two, nor were they sudden, but would last for decades.

This means that the disaster in Liaodong will be more serious next year and the next year.

In a long-term disaster, people's power will naturally lose its power. If there is another war, decay will be a natural thing.

The rise of Jianzhou was not the hard work of the Eight Banners and fighting against God, but the slaughter of three million people in Liaodong and Han people survived.

Three million Han people, their ancestors' savings and poor food gathered together, which ensured that the Eight Banners' children would not be starved to death and that they had the ability to continue to plunder.

But even if you know, the good ministers are powerless now. First, they have low officials and low positions, and so-called minor words are light. Second, these large-scale bad natural disasters are now beyond human power.

Take water shortage as an example. If in later generations, thousands of construction machinery could be dug out a Grand Canal in a short time, now, even hundreds of thousands of lives will be filled, it will not be possible.

In history, water control and river management have been built, and whether it is a prosperous or chaotic era, they are full of corpses.

The one who was killed by the river-picking worker was not only the Sui Dynasty, but also the pseudo-Yuan.

The good minister was not very nervous and gave Wanli a letter of ten thousand words, and advised him to build water conservancy in Liaodong.

Because, it cannot be done.

To put it unpleasantly, even Wanli realized that the natural disasters had a fatal impact on his country, so he agreed to start construction of water conservancy in Liaodong on a large scale and dig rivers to alleviate the disaster.

In that case, I'm afraid that the Ming Dynasty will die faster.

There is no need for Nurhaci's seven major hatreds, and the Liao people can have three major hatreds first.

When he was in Jinzhou, Liangchen heard that Xiong Tingbi wrote to the court, saying that there were many idle land in Liao, so he asked to establish military farming, and used three parts of the manpower to farm in the 80,000 troops every year. This would reduce the burden on the people in Liao, and the Liao army would support itself.

To farm, water conservancy must be repaired first.

No water or field.

Xiong Tingbi obviously realized that the disaster would affect the Ming Dynasty's rule in Liaodong. He did not write a letter to request the requisition of people's power, but instead requested the transfer of garrison troops to farmland.

The reason for this is that it may be the same as Wei Liangchen thought, knowing that "big engineering" is impossible to implement in Liaodong at present.

Wanli approved Xiong Tingbi's memorial and issued an edict to supervise Liaodong. However, what the good ministers saw in Jinzhou was that civil and military officials were not enthusiastic about it. It seemed that they had done it under several garrison offices, and the rest of the situation did not move.

Without thinking, you can figure out how those military leaders in Liaodong could tolerate their soldiers to farm for the court and then distribute the food they collected to the court.

It is better to not have to farm farms now. Even if the people starve to death, the soldiers will always have imperial food. Besides, their soldiers are not idle now, and they are also farming. It's just that they are farming for themselves, not for the court.

Xiong Tingbi started from the overall situation and wanted to organize military farms.

The generals in Liaodong started from themselves and refused to do so.

Anyway, how dare your court not allocate money and food?

Since ancient times, there has been no emperor who sent hungry soldiers.

Xiong Tingbi, it is difficult to do things. After all, he is just a seventh-rank inspector. His power is just an inspection, a letter of impeachment, and the specific things that need to be done are those Liaodong officials.

After being "forced" by Ye Hedongge in Caozhuang Post, Liangchen set out for Jinzhou.

His final destination for leaving the customs this time was Fushun, but before that, he was going to Shuangshantai. Although Gao Huai fell, the tax soldiers he created Flying Tiger Army was always remembered by Liangchen.

If possible, Liangchen planned to keep the Flying Tiger Army. Although Wanli sent Zhang Ye, the Tongwan Tax Supervisor, to take over the Liaodong Mine Supervisor, even if this Flying Tiger Army is retained, it will be led by Zhang Ye and has no relationship with him, Wei Liangchen.

However, Li Yongzhen believed that Zhang Ye would not retain this tax soldier, because although Eunuch Zhang was also a member of the mining supervision tax commissioner, his relationship with the foreign court was not as irreconcilable as Gao Huai. Instead, he was like Chen Ju, the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor, and was very close to the foreign court. Otherwise, the foreign court would not tolerate him setting up checkpoints in the important places in Tongzhou.

Therefore, Li Yongzhen believes that Zhang Ye is now in charge of Liaodong mining supervision and tax affairs as a "firefighter". Although the military rebellion of the People's Republic of China has subsided and Gao Huai has also been locked up, many things have not been done yet.

If Zhang Ye still relied on the people he left behind and continued to do what he had done in the past, it would inevitably lead to new conflicts and regenerate military changes.

Therefore, Li Yongzhen reminded Wei Liangchen that Zhang Ye would definitely lay off the personnel affairs of Gao Huai in the past, and that the Flying Tiger Army is now the public enemy of Liaodong, so Zhang Ye will definitely not retain it.

This made Liangchen decide to intervene. If his father doesn't kiss him, his mother doesn't care about him. The Flying Tiger Army is now like an abandoned orphan. No one wants him. If he wants it and can give the Flying Tiger Army a proper arrangement, the orphan's heart can be tied to him.

Liangchen had already thought about it. As long as Zhang Hu was willing to follow him, he would tell Wanli to transform the Flying Tiger Army from a tax soldier to a mine guard - a mine protection team.

It is definitely not possible to let the Flying Tiger Army act as a minion for collecting taxes, but it is feasible to arrange to be miners in various mines in Liaodong.

The officials in Jinzhou were pretty good. They recognized Wei Liangchen as the Secretariat and gave him some convenience. And when Liangchen arrived in Jinzhou, Liaodong general Li Rumei sent a small banner official named Shen Lian to wait for him, saying that he wanted to escort him to Fushun.

While talking to Shen Lian, the other party accidentally revealed a piece of news that the official sent by the court to supervise money, grain, and wages have already come out of seclusion.

This person is no one else, but Yang Hao, the commander of the Battle of Sarhu ten years later.
