On July 15th, fire fell from the sky, and it was very hot.

Inside the Guanfeng Hall, the court meeting has entered the middle plate.

On the imperial throne, Shao Xun was wearing a white plain robe and quietly listened to the retribution of his subordinates.

The prince Shao Jin sat down in the first row of the head, sitting upright and observing the affairs of the court.

All the previous reports were trivial matters, and Shao Xun listened patiently and gave his opinions from time to time.

"Your Majesty." Dali Qing Shang Zhi stood up, looked at the tablet first, and then said loudly: "I impeach Linhai Prefect Zhou Guang."

"What's the matter of impeachment?" Shao Xun asked.

"Twenty new large ships were built in Hengyu Chuan Tun, but there were no boatmen. The navy sent people to Jiangnan to recruit, but not enough, Linhai Prefect Zhou Guang scattered prisoners onto the ship, which was a violation of the law." Shang Zhi said.

"What happened?" Shao Xun pondered.

The new official of Dali Temple Minister Shang Zhi took office and started burning fire, which was considered a person he had caught.

Shao Xun looked at Hou Feihu, Minister of War.

Hou Feihu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, since the Han Dynasty, all prisoners must be in charge. The Daliang Law revised at the end of Kaiping has an article "The prisoners will not be in charge, and the master will be in charge of sixty rods." Zhou Guang sent prisoners onto the ship, and they all had chains and were forbidden in the bottom cabin, but they were paddling, which was the service."

The prisoners these days are not the ones who have been sleeping in prison in later film and television dramas. In fact, they have to work.

Otherwise, who will support him? It’s okay not to work, and the family members will give him money and give him a discount.

It is not uncommon for prisoners to be exiled throughout the dynasties, and this is also a kind of service.

Hou Feihu brought out this article, and Shang Zhi didn't know how to refute it for a moment, so he could only say: "If a prisoner is not a human, how can he entrust a boat? This is a good person."

Hou Feihu said again: "If you can find a good family to go out to sea, why does it take a lot of trouble?"

Shang Zhi cannot be correct.

He originally wanted to spend a lot of money to recruit ship workers who volunteered to go to sea, but it was impossible to think about it.

If you spend a lot of money, do you also have to add money to other naval soldiers? What's more, the extra money may not necessarily solve the problem. Now it's half-forced recruitment, and the navigators are all worldly soldiers, so they don't give them a choice. If they have the opportunity to choose, they will keep each of them home and farm, even if they are tenants, they are unwilling to go out to sea.

Shao Xun said, "This matter will be discussed later."

He said this, in fact, he was just a disguised support for using prisoners as sailors.

After saying that, he looked at the prince Shao Jin again and said, "Crown Prince has any advice?"

Shao Jin stood up and said, "Your Majesty, going to sea is dangerous, and you may be given a reduction in sentence for prisoners, so that you will not harm your majesty's kindness."

"Good." Shao Xun said happily.

As a veteran, he knew the difficulties of recruiting sailors very well.

In the age of navigation in the 17th century, the safety factor of navigation was already very high, but several major navigation powers were still worried about the lack of sailors and played a lot of fun work.

In order to get enough sailors, the Portuguese disappeared overnight on the streets of Lisbon. Some begging bows were unwilling to be sailors when they arrived on the boat.

At that time, there was a law in Britain that theft of goods worth five shillings was sentenced to death. Judges often wrote one penny less in their judgment, and sentenced them to exile to the colony or serve their sentence as sailors.

The Dutch were the most fun. Their fields were filled with high-value tobacco and flax. One by one, the age of navigation. Linen was the main raw material for making canvas. When it matured, it could not afford to harvest the locals. So they recruited foreign workers, usually poor Scots and Germans. After the harvest, they did not pay wages and directly kidnapped them to the ship to be sailors.

As for Spain, the legal provisions are even more stringent. People often violate the law and are sentenced to be sailors on board. Many people turn into contract slaves to serve on board because of debts.

These people are the "consumables" of the voyage, and they died in batches, resulting in great geographical discoveries.

At this time, the Daliang Dynasty actually found it difficult to recruit sailors.

The navy soldiers were all soldiers. They were mostly active in the Yangtze River, but they were not that dangerous. Now they heard that they were going to sea, and they were all like a mourning person, but they had no choice. They had to be sailors for generations, which was very cruel.

After Hou Feihu refuted Shang Zhi, he sat back.

This was not the first time he had a head-on confrontation with the gentry officials. At first, he was a little uncomfortable and could not play with them. Later, the emperor mentioned it and became a little enlightened. Today, he used the "Daliang Rule" to win a game, which was extremely comfortable.

Thinking of this, he looked at the prince from the corner of his eyes.

Shang Zhi's sister is Yu Liang's concubine, and it has something to do with the prince, but he shouldn't have come to the Ministry of War to find trouble. If he doesn't fight back at this time, the officials of the Ministry of War would be despised.

Of course, he also knew that this matter had nothing to do with the prince, but people like Shang Zhi were too annoyed and had to teach them a lesson, otherwise they would always come to find trouble.

After the matter was discussed, the Minister of the Nongqing Hu Yun reported: "Your Majesty, Yanmen, Xinxing, Taiyuan Xianbei, Wuhuan has more and more disasters,

I would like to open the Yangyan Warehouse to provide disaster relief."

Hu Yun's original name was Hu Xun, and was born in the Anding Hu family. He served as the Guanglu doctor of Liu Han and the Shaoqing of the Sinong Temple in Daliang. Later, he was promoted to the Sinong Jingqing of the former Sinong Jingqing Yin Xian was impeached and removed from office because his aunt still had a big banquet for guests after his death. After his return, he served as the governor of Yuzhou.

"Disaster relief can only be urgent." Shao Xun paused and said, "Come it and send it to Yiyang for land to be resettled. Shao Xun looked at Pei Zhan, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Pei Zhan stood up and said, "I obey the order."

"Where is the General of the Zuo Shenwu Guard?" Shao Xun asked again.

"I am here." Liu Bin, General of the Left Shenwu Guard, stood up and said.

He was Shao Xun's cousin. He followed King Shao Gan of Lu in his early years to assassinate the traitor and supervise the law enforcement decree. Later, he went to the government army and became the general of the Left Shenwu Guard after many years of promotion.

He had a son named Liu Feng, who was originally a Sima of the Left Yulin Wei tribe, and now a general of the Longxiang Mansion in Weicheng, Puyang.

"After the victims heading south, the Zuo Shenwu Guard sent troops to take care of them for several months, and there must be no mistakes." Shao Xun said.

"I obey the order." Liu Bin replied.

When the king and his ministers asked each other, the Shangshu Ling Chu Cui, who was sitting in the lower head of the prince, quietly lit the lower board, and saw some words written on it: "Yiyang is vast and sparsely populated" and "many five waters."

The prince was slightly slight, and the Secretary of State was telling him why the emperor arranged this way.

"Your Majesty." Jin Zheng, the military supervisor, suddenly stepped out and said: "The heavens caused disasters to the south of the desert, but His Majesty was virtued by the world. Therefore, he used the heavenly way to drive the captives to return to the king's transformation. I would like to follow the story of Guangwu using the Huns' cavalry and first give the name "to seek rebellious justice" and give it to the land and house if you win, and you will not harm the country's foundation if you lose."

After saying that, he bowed to the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Although my words are despicable, they are all out of my heart, but your Majesty's holy judgment!"

Shao Xun did not agree immediately.

He actually considered this possibility, but he was unwilling to resettle the Xianbei victims in the north, so he chose Yiyang. The Xianbei people may not be willing to go to Yiyang, which is really no reward.

Furthermore, the combat effectiveness of these victims is actually very average. They are all old and weak who have been abandoned by various troops. If they are allowed to fight, they will lose their morale. It is better to develop them.

So he waved his hand and said, "Get back."

Kim Jong didn't say nonsense and got up and retreated.

The prince couldn't help but glance at Kim Jong a few more times, and his impression of this person became deeper and deeper.

That visit to Guanzhong really opened his eyes. He had an intuitive understanding of the four words "a arrogant soldier and a fierce general" for the first time in his life.

He was timid in front of his father, but he dared to give himself a warning, alas.

"Your Majesty." Cheng Xia, the general of the Duzhi Army, stood up and said, "The army of Qingzhou floated north to take Ma Shijin. It is imperative to conquer Pingzhou. I ask for the autumn harvest to transfer food and grass to Youzhou, but I am afraid it will not be too late."

"Are you too rush after the autumn harvest?" Shao Xun asked, "The distribution will start again in mid-September."

"Yes." Cheng Xia retreated in response.

Chu Cui had wiped off the words on the board and wrote a few more lines: "The soldiers under the tent of the lieutenant of the Zhudu Branch must sow in autumn", "The canals are frozen in winter".

Shao Jin once again slighted his head.

General Yangwu Murong Han felt sad when he heard this. The attack on Murong Xianbei was already unchangeable. The first batch of troops had even crossed the sea to help stabilize the situation for thousands of years.

Next year, a large number of troops will be sent to attack western Liaoning, and the Tuoba Xianbei will be joined on the grasslands. Maybe they will send envoys to contact Goguryeo. It is really dangerous to advance like this in parallel.

Although Murong Han hated Murong very much, he still inevitably felt a little sad at this time. He just hoped that the war would not go too cruelly and to save as much vitality as possible.

"Your Majesty." Prime Minister Wang Yan, who had not spoken before, said: "The battle to recover Pingzhou will be dispatched, and there may be more money, grain, taxes and service."

"This is inevitable." Shao Xun said naturally: "The Prime Minister will take care of this matter carefully, so don't miss the big thing."

"I'm clear." Wang Yan nodded and said.

Chu Cui sat upright this time and did not give any tips.

Prince Shao Jin glanced at him, thought silently, and realized something.

Then several people went out to report the matter and were busy until noon. Today was a rare long court meeting.

After the Tongshi House announced the cessation of the dynasty, Shao Xun came directly to Lichuntai.

After lunch, I was a little surprised to hear that Yu Wenjun's mother, Qiu, died of illness in Yingchuan.

He went to Ganlu Palace as soon as possible and comforted Yu Wenjun.

Yu Wenjun was in tears and wanted to go to the old house in Yanling. Shao Xu agreed and ordered the Minister of the Palace to arrange personnel to escort the queen to Yingchuan.

At the same time, he thought of the members of the Yu family.

It's been three years since Liangzi was afraid he would have to come back from Shu.

When he was sent to Chengdu, he had the intention to make some trouble. Liangzi understood his intention.

Very good work.

I started traveling to the fields in June last year, and there were very few people who dared to oppose it explicitly, and it may not be as rewarded as the previous disturbance.

Until today, he has no intention of staying in Shu anymore. When his mother passed away, his filial son always had to go home to mourn, and the governor of Yizhou could be handed over.

In addition, Liu Ling entered Shu to suppress the rebellion, and his methods were quite ruthless, so that Dushui Supervisor Fan Ren, who had always been self-protection, couldn't help but persuade him.

At this time, perhaps a relatively gentle governor from the sect entered Shu and calmed him down.

Shao Xun thought of a candidate: Chen Giz.

As the Minister of Shangshu Youpushe was transferred to Yizhou Governor, he was considered to be a downgrading rank. But everything is not without reason. Chen Qi was not stupid, so he should be clear about it.

Thinking of this, Shao Xun personally brought paper and pen, wrote an edict and sent it to the village.
