Zhao Xiaobing was not angry and said that he would carry out labor-for-relief, organize these victims to work, repair the sea routes of Mujiachuan, Lingqu and Guangnan West Road, and completely open up the waterway.

Such a huge project requires a lot of labor, which just solves the resettlement and life of these hungry people. When paying them wages, they will not have an income.

Letting all the prefectures and counties along the way organize their people to work, which not only stabilizes the society, but also does practical things, killing two birds with one stone.

This is what we Xinsong proposed not to raise lazy people.

Meng Gong's eyes were so big that he said that such a huge project was probably astronomical. Where did he find it?

Zhao Xiaobing smiled and said that Jinghu Road was from the new Song Dynasty, and of course the imperial court came out, so why did Meng Gong raise funds by himself?

This is to start using Xinsong banknotes immediately. Anyone who participates in the workplace must pay wages, and all wages are paid for Xinsong banknotes. All projects involved are banknotes. All transactions of grain, salt and other goods controlled by the government will be collected from Xinsong banknotes.

Merchants can exchange silver coins for overseas trade circulation, but domestic officials no longer circulate other coins, so that currency exchange will be realized soon.

Lao Cao nodded and said that as long as the new Song coins were circulated here, no one would want the newly issued secrets of Lin'an, so naturally they would follow me to do things.

Meng Gong became worried. He said that the old coins in the hands of those big investors had depreciated greatly, and he was afraid that something would happen again.

Lao Cao said that he was still a general who commanded the army, but why did he suddenly become a mother-in-law and mother? This is for the people of the world. The losses of the wealthy households are the question of how much currency depreciation is, and it is not that they cannot afford to eat.

I wait for this to be equal to the rich and the poor, so let the people have a meal first.

Then Lao Cao exchanged the banknotes made in Chengdu to Meng Gong. The situation felt a bit like Meng Gong was out of date, so it was Ultra.

He cheered Lao Meng, saying that food is the most important thing for the people, and we will be able to be stable after solving the food problem of the people. A few small caterpillars stopped you, General Meng.

Continue walking south, there are crowds of people fleeing to famine and beggars everywhere, and a large number of fields are deserted.

I really don't know if I don't look at it, I was shocked when I saw it.

The three of them discussed while walking and decided to report to Chengdu again to increase the food assistance of 500,000 stones.

When Lao Meng saw these two important officials of the New Song Dynasty, he said that hundreds of thousands of stones of grain was as easy as digging sand in the river, and he made a big deal.

Back then, he led the Song army to besiege the Jin Kingdom with the Mongolian army. The court discussed for a month, and the whole country had only raised 300,000 stones of military rations for him.

Meng Gong truly realized that they were doing practical things, and the unhappiness on their faces faded a lot.

Zhao Xiaobing then proposed to select a place to establish a shipping logistics base.

The Yangtze River has developed water transport, large ships, and the Lingqu channel is narrow and cannot accommodate large ships. Transit terminals must be established.

When the ideas were opened, Lao Meng's thoughts became active, and he immediately arranged for local plans to choose a place.

Lao Cao said that there were ministers of the Ministry of Construction and Construction, and he really did it just by saying that.

Zhao Xiaobing smiled and then discussed restoring and improving the station.

He said that the cement output has increased significantly after the Jianwei Jiayang Coal Mine is put into production, and it will be quickly flowing downstream, so you can build it by finding a good place.

The economic and military value of opening up the waterway is huge. Everyone knows this. Then the Qin Dynasty built the Lingqu Canal in order to unify Lingnan.

This is also the experience he learned in later generations.

When the economy is in a downturn, the country often engages in infrastructure construction, giving people the opportunity to make money, stimulate investment and consumption, and thus drives the economy to resurrection.

It’s a happy thing to say. After calming down, Lao Meng was still worried. He told Lao Cao that he had to do this, so how much money would he have to do?

Lao Cao smiled and patted Meng Gong on the shoulder and said, "Wu Wu, with the prince consort here, they are all little maocao."

Haha, Zhao Xiaobing shook his head and walked away. When did this old Cao pick up his catchphrase?

Five days later, they came to Xing'an, Jingjiang Prefecture, Guangnan West Road to check the large and small scales of Lingqu.

The disrepaired spiritual canal is no longer functional. When they pass the boat, some river sections cannot reach the water level, so they still have to walk.

Three people were drinking in an inn in the town. Zhao Xiaobing looked at the heavy rain outside the window like a bamboo pole and said that the water was enough and the river was there, and this important traffic route must be restored.

Lao Cao said that governing a country is different from killing enemies on the battlefield. It is difficult, and it is also war after war.

He told Lao Meng the thrilling story of Chengdu issuing new Song coins and talking about building a bank, which made Lao Meng widen his eyes.

Zhao Xiaobing said that no matter how big the difficulties are, what are you afraid of?

I believe that Xinsong's tomorrow will be better.

Three days later, the three of them crossed Lingqu and arrived at Jingjiang Prefecture. There was no war here, and the situation was much better. However, the long-term high taxes, corvee service, and military service were too heavy and the people also seemed very poor.

After listening to the report from Meng Wenjie and Yue Lin, Zhao Xiaobing said that he would exchange paper money, resettlement new roads, and provide relief to the victims, so that they could make plans.

Each route first allocates 20 million banknotes and 5 million taels of silver coins, allowing free exchange of silver coins for foreign trade, which is equivalent to directly increasing the flow of at least 10 million coins of money in the finance department.

In this way, the funds will naturally be loose.

Moreover, the full use of new Song coins in labor-for-relief will definitely accelerate the circulation of paper money, which will undoubtedly drive the rapid operation of commerce and trade. These two channels will soon be renewed and vibrant.

In the evening, Zhao Xiaobing took out his Luocheng 1231 to invite everyone to drink.

After three rounds of drinking, Lao Meng is still drying his mouth.

No matter how proud he is, he is very generous, but the wine is so high that Zhao Xiaobing saw his cheeks flushed, and was afraid that he would hurt his body, so he persuaded him.

Lao Meng was still not convinced, and even said good wine, but he couldn't bear to drink it for only three cups, so he continued to drink it.

Lao Cao was also happy and let go of the matter with Lao Meng.

He said that this trip would stabilize the hungry people and continue to develop, and he would be afraid that the Northern Barbarians would not be able to be destroyed if they had enough food and grass.

While drinking, the two of them sang their ancient border guards and military songs.

These two brothers were all fighting against the invasion of the North, and they were still from the Northern Barbarians, but Zhao Xiaobing no longer thought so.

China is a family, all of which are the people of Xinsong. He only kills reactionary, barbaric and cruel rulers.

The next day, Lao Cao and Lao Meng both got up late than him. Time really is forbidden. In addition, both of them were seriously injured in fighting on the battlefield. The drinks made them sleep relaxed and let them sleep.

They headed south all the way, and ten days later they crossed the sea and entered Shenglongzhou.

Xianren Banban, the weather is already so hot.

Wang Ping found a shady bay to receive them. Here, military ships and sea boats came and went, and were busy.

Zhao Xiaobing said it was called Yuhaiwan, which means a harbor to defend against the enemy at sea.

Wang Ping smiled and agreed, and Mu Tong said that he would set up the sign tomorrow.
Chapter completed!
