After inspecting Guangdong, he brought the newly picked treasure Fang Yizhi and Zhu Jun to the north by land, passing through Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Jiangsu.

Unlike Zhu Jun's good mood, the city of Beijing was in sorrow at this time. Jiangnan was a town of fish and rice, and the main target for the annual grain and food transportation. Now that Jiangnan was not protected, the area ruled by the Manchus was only the area north of the Yangtze River. Millions of Manchus were not engaged in production, and there was not enough land for farming. Now Shanxi and Henan were drought, and Shandong had a plague again. There was a thousand miles of land. Not only Manchus, but even the army in Liaodong, Xinjiang, Shaanxi and other places could only save money, which had already caused great dissatisfaction.

As for disaster relief, Kangxi didn't even think about it. Shanxi, Henan, and Shandong plague. There were millions of people affected by the disaster in these three provinces. Now the imperial court is even short of military pay, and even the Manchus in the capital have to save money. If they transport grain to provide disaster relief, mutinies may be everywhere.

But it would not be possible without disaster relief. Kangxi was not stupid and knew the joke that he would not eat meat. The people had no food to eat, but they were going to rebel. The fall of the Ming Dynasty by bandits was the result of years of severe drought in Shaanxi. Now the feng shui has changed. Kangxi also encountered the same problem as Chongzhen back then. The difference is that Chongzhen might be able to evenly produce a little surplus of grain to go to provide disaster relief, but Kangxi was empty and had nothing at all.

Kangxi listened angrily to the report of Sony and others. Shanxi and Henan were almost incapable of grain, and thousands of miles away from the ground. Now several groups of thieves have gathered in the province to plunder and capture cities. Shanxi and Henan Governor ordered the Green Camp to suppress the situation. Finally, the situation was maintained, but the suppression was only a symptom and there was no food. Today, 10,000 thieves were killed, and tomorrow there would be another thieves who were not afraid of death and would not be able to defend themselves.

More serious is Shandong. There was a locust plague just last year. Now there is a plague again. There are tens of thousands of infected people, and the local government can't handle it. If this continues, the entire Shandong will probably fall into a plague.

"Fried bucket, fry bucket." Kangxi couldn't help but pat on the imperial case: "What did Shandong Governor Yang Wencheng say last month? He covered the epidemic and did not report it, but claimed that the world was peaceful. Now that the plague has spread to Jinan, he reported it, he..." Kangxi couldn't lift it up in a breath, and coughed a few times in a choking manner, saying: "Go, send someone to Shandong to announce the imperial edict, take Yang Wencheng off his petals, and take him to Jiao Dali Temple in the capital for punishment. You can't forgive me."

A person stood up in the class. This person was Sony's son Soetu. Since Prince Kang Jieshu went to Liaodong to rectify military affairs, Kangxi has relied on Sony more. However, Sony is old and is about to lose his life for a few years. Kangxi promoted Soetu to be the Minister of Personnel. On the one hand, it showed his favor to Sony, and on the other hand, it also meant that Soetu took over Sony's team. In the fourth year of Kangxi, in order to win over Sony to deal with Oboi, Kangxi married Sony's granddaughter, Soetu's daughter Hesheli, as the queen. Soetu said that Soetu was still Kangxi's father-in-law.

Suo'ertu was very cautious in his life. Although he was a father-in-law from Kangxi, he never relied on his old age. He lowered his eyebrows in front of Kangxi, which made the little emperor who had been tortured by Oboi very much. Suo'ertu cleared his throat and said, "Emperor, I don't think so." Suo'ertu looked at Kangxi cautiously, and saw that his face was normal and had no intention of blame, he said, "Although Yang Wencheng had committed a big mistake, he was loyal to the emperor. If the emperor sent an imperial envoy, he might have been afraid of his crime..."

Sortu didn't say anything more. Kangxi had calmed down. He naturally knew what Soetu meant. Once he blamed him, if Yang Wencheng was afraid of the crime, he might surrender to Ming. It is said that it is a mad dog who jumped over the wall. Once he forced people to force him to force him, who would know what bigger trouble would happen? It is not a peaceful and prosperous era now. Some things were not done by him. Shandong was not far from the Yangtze River. Kangxi finally dispatched a large army to lay out defense lines on the front line of the Yangtze River. Once Yang Wencheng surrendered, Shandong would become a nail in the southern Ming Dynasty and would be endless troubles.

Kangxi caressed the imperial case and pondered for a moment: "Suei Suo's words make sense. Give Yang Wencheng a chance to make meritorious deeds." Kangxi sighed. The young and old man frowned: "The plague in Shandong cannot be ignored. Shanxi and Henan have severe droughts. Think about it. What are the plans to slow down?"

A low voice immediately sounded in the Qinzheng Hall. Now that it is really a waste of money to be a minister, it is difficult to cook without rice. The imperial court and even the warehouses of various provinces have empty land. What else can I do? It’s impossible to turn food into it?

"The emperor, I think of it. Why not retreat to Liaodong. The fertile land of Liaodong is a place where we live for generations. As long as we have food for food, these southerners will be left to Niming." He stood up and spoke to the Minister of War Emida. This man was once a guard of the Qianqing Palace. Later, he went out to release the governor of Zhili. Because he suppressed the bandits in Tianjin and was trusted by Kangxi, he was promoted to Minister of War.

Emida

It was ridiculous. Kangxi was about to scold him, but inadvertently, there were several ministers in the class nodding secretly. Obviously, there were many people in the group who had this idea. Kangxi couldn't help but feel sad. He fled for the first time. Just because of a famine and a plague, he threw away his ancestors' hard work after several generations. These people were also worthy of assisting themselves in dominating the world?

"Absurd." This time, it was Soetu. He stood behind Sony. Who is Sony? How could he not know the emperor's mind. He turned his head and gave Soetu a wink. Now he is old and has a great minister. Of course, he should let his son perform in his favor.

Soetu knew it and immediately stood up furiously, pointing at Emida and said, "The ancestors and ancestors in the world were made of blood and sweat. What is Emida? How dare you say such words in front of you?"

"Emperor." After scolding Emida, Soetu knelt on the ground: "Now that the strong enemy is surrounded by internal and external troubles, it is the time when our king and ministers work hard to overcome difficulties together. The emperor must not listen to Emida's words. The situation has not been so bad. No matter how difficult it is, is it difficult for Taizu to raise a war with thirteen pairs of armor back then? No matter how difficult it is, the emperor grits his teeth and will go head-on. The gentle minister Soetu is willing to follow him and serve the country with death."

Soetu said this very generously. Not only did all the officials move, but even Kangxi was excited and suddenly regained some confidence. He looked at Soetu with appreciation and said, "No matter how difficult it is, we can retreat. We are mortal enemies with the pseudo-Ming. Even if we withdraw from the barrier, do you think your enemies will let you go? If they want to fight, I will fight them. What is the famine? I still don't believe that there is a threshold in the world that cannot be overcome."

Kangxi made the final decision, and Emida shrank back with a look of shame. The ministers shouted long live, praising the emperor's wisdom and martial arts.

"Your Majesty, in fact, the famine is not completely helpless." Sony, the most favorite minister of the Qing Dynasty, finally spoke.

"Oh? Say it quickly."

Sony slowly said: "Do you know that the disaster is invoked?"

Kangxi was stunned, as if he had caught something, but he felt puzzled. Sony said: "Now, Shanxi, Henan is short of food and Shandong are plague. Leaving these people who have no food and have plagues in the same place will only cause bandits and cause more people to get infected with epidemics. It is better to......"

Kangxi finally understood that, combined with the previous sentence, the flood of disasters, Sony meant to drive all these hungry people and the people infected with the plague to the other side. Nanming needed a lot of food to accept it. I am afraid that the stock in the entire Nanming treasury would be insufficient to make ends meet. Now that Kangxi has experienced strength and implemented the new policy, what he needs is time. Nanming wants to accommodate so many hungry people, and naturally there will be an emergency in terms of food and salary. There will be no more wars within at least one year. In addition, a large number of people infected with the disease are mixed in, so the plague will be transferred to Nanming. It is really a magic trick to kill two birds with one stone. Only by grasping it well can the disaster be transferred to Nanming. Didn’t that Xinshi child love the people as if he was sad and pity every day? Wasn’t it under the banner of the Han people? Throw this hot potato over and see how he Xinshi deals with it.

However, this plan is not without loopholes. Population is the standard for the strength of the feudal country. It is a matter of cutting off dozens and millions of hungry and epidemic people to the other side. For the Qing Dynasty, it is also a matter of cutting off the flesh. Who would think that the population in its ruling area is too large? Kangxi couldn't help but sank his eyebrows.

Sony is an old fox, and he knows the emperor's thoughts with his eyes closed. After Kangxi thought about it, he said: "Emperor, now that the court has lost Jiangnan, Jiangbei cannot afford such a person at all. It is better to abandon it. Otherwise, once refugees rise, it is probably impossible to abandon it. What's more, we also mix the epidemic among the hungry people. Eight out of tens of ten of these hungry people will be infected. Your Majesty think about it. When dozens and millions of hungry people who are infected with the epidemic will be in a state of grief. Nanming is probably in a state of grief. I know that the emperor is kind and cannot bear it. But now the situation is urgent, please make a decision early."

The whole son Manchen also started to make trouble. This was the best way for them. Anyway, it was the matter of dying fellow Taoists who died and not dying. After sending away millions of people, he saved food and increased the burden on the enemy. If he was lucky, maybe everyone in Jiangnan, which had just been captured by Nanming, would have become a hell on earth. Wouldn't this be great? It was just that some Han people in the court felt cold in their hearts when they heard this, but at this time, no one dared to object, and looked at Manchen one by one and stood up to discuss it numbly.

"Okay, this matter must be done as soon as possible, so I can do it." Kangxi finally made up his mind, his eyes emitted a glimmer of light, and he slapped the imperial case heavily.

"I'm here."

"You can do this errand."
