"The emperor, according to reports from Shanxi and Shaanxi, this year's disaster has almost ceased, but they have asked for tax exemption for next year."

Li Hongzhang replaced Zhang Zhidong in presiding over the household department, so now he reports on this matter.

"I was also weird. It was all in the north. It rained and Shaanxi was flooded. After a few days it didn't rain, Shanxi was hit by a drought. With such a disaster, it took them a few months to get things settled. , These two places have suffered four years of disasters," Wang Guangxu looked at the reported memorial and was speechless.

"The emperor, Shanxi has a lot of people and little land, and the land is barren. The people mostly take money and goods. The rich will make the rich, and the poor will be poor. If there is a disaster year, many people will starve to death. As for Shaanxi, although the land is still That's a lot, but it's all loess, the soil strength is extremely poor, and the harvest is not good when the water and soil flow in heavy rain."

When Li Hongzhang heard that a cold sweat broke out behind his back, he knew what Wang Guangxu's words meant. This group of officials was inherently inefficient, and it would be good if they could rescue disasters. It is normal to make money through disaster relief.

"Always relying on relief doesn't work like this. Since Shanxi has a lot of people and little land, they will emigrate. If Annan in the south is too far away, they don't want to go. Then go outside Guan, Hei Province, Jilin or even farther, where there is black land."

Wang Guangxu frowned slightly and said.

"But outside the pass is the base camp of the Manchus, and the place where the emperor's dragon veins are revitalized. Before, more immigrants went to Annan, but less outside the pass."

Li Hongzhang expressed his concerns.

"In those ten or so palaces, the Qing Dynasty has been in the customs for hundreds of years. There is no place where there are many people. They dare not say anything with me."

"First, let the people in the five prefectures of Baode, Taiyuan, Fenzhou, Datong, and Puzhou, which are close to the Yellow River in Shanxi, move out from their prefectures. The arable land of these prefectures is the best to retain more than 100,000 mu. Tian. The same applies to the four prefectures of Yulin, Suide, Yan'an, and Tongzhou in Shaanxi. The coal mines in Shanxi can be mined but must be controlled. The pits dug must be filled in. Give the tree back to us."

"We don't lack that coal, tell the people, don't care about those belongings. If you lose them, you will lose them. When you get to the northeast, I will give them three times the tax, and they will be exempted from tax for ten years."

Wang Guangxu said to Li Hongzhang.

"But the emperor, you don't need to retreat so much, right? This involves a population of almost three million."

Li Hongzhang looked a little unclear.

"Think about it! Don't pretend to be confused!"

Wang Guangxu didn't believe that Li Hongzhang couldn't see this.

"Emperor, you are not trying to control sand and rivers, right now, the project is huge, and there is no ten thousand taels of silver that can't be spent!"

Li Hongzhang couldn't help but feel some pain, but he didn't pretend it anymore.

"Can you see if the Yellow River is dead now? The dams are already almost one foot higher than the ground. Every time the dyke bursts, there must be a piece of Zeguo. The soil in Shanxi and Shaanxi is mostly floating soil, and it will be washed away by rain. go,"

"The sediment reaches the lower reaches and it settles in the place where the river level is slow. In another hundred years, not to mention one foot above the ground. I am afraid that it will be two feet or three feet. Once the dyke bursts, the consequences will be disastrous."

"As for this sand, although it is not serious right now, but if it continues like this, sooner or later this windy sand will blow to the capital. I can't sit in the capital and eat ashes every day, right?"

"So don't say 10 million taels, even 30 million taels can be cured."

Wang Guangxu got a little excited as he talked about it. He imagined that his future generations would be a tragedy. A good container went to the capital for a trip, but he wore a mask the next day.Playing with a bird in the gray outside.

"The minister understands! It's just that this method of controlling the river is really hard to think about." 5599 novel www.dy5599.com

Li Hongzhang still has some headaches. First, he is distressed about money. Second, the Ministry of Industry has been administering the river every year, and he hasn't seen any results.

"Okay! Using your method to control the river of course doesn't work. This river is not cured in a year or two. It is not for you to go fishing for sand, but for planting trees. All the fields that have been withdrawn are planted with trees, only trees. Once alive, the grass grows to stabilize the sand."

"Especially the high slopes of the loess soil must be planted with trees. After ten or twenty years, the water of the natural Yellow River will become clear. If you are seriously injured, you can't cut it down. This is for the benefit of future generations. The time is long. Point, but I can't spend ten million taels."

"As for the sandy ground, use a thin clay pot on his edge to fill the soil, plant drought-tolerant saplings, and water him every day. When his big roots will naturally pierce the clay pot, there will be no need for it. Watered."

Looking at Li Hongzhang's appearance, Wang Guangxu knew what he was thinking and he was so lazy to use mind reading.

"The emperor is really a man of heaven, and the minister is ashamed and can't share the worries for the saint. I don't know if there is a candidate in the emperor's heart. If not, the minister will order the Ministry of Engineering to recommend a personal choice."

After listening to Wang Guangxu's words, Li Hongzhang woke up like a dream, and at the same time he secretly sighed that the emperor even understood this.

"I intend to let Yan Fuying be the chief envoy of Shanxi, in charge of the relocation of trees to plant. And let Yang Shenxiu and Yang Rui also go there, and tell them that it was I who said it, and just come back on time for the test. Nouns are not important!"

Wang Guangxu thought for a while and said.

Li Hongzhang quickly nodded and said yes, and then reported on the shipyard. The Southern Shipyard is still located in Mawei. It is almost under expansion and the machines are being installed. Experts from the Northern Willing State suggest that it should be placed in Dagukou. Lushun can be used as a military port, but The location as a shipyard is not very good, and it makes good use of Jintian's resources.

Wang Guangxu nodded. Dagukou originally had a shipyard, and it was soon agreed to improve it.

"The shipyard is almost there, then the cruiser needs to be brought out."

After Li Hongzhang retreated, Wang Guangxu couldn't wait to turn on the system.

"Ding! The host now has 53,000 points. Will it be a lottery? Will it be exchanged?"

A voice slanted westward from the system.

"I don't draw a lottery!"

Wang Guangxu will not be fooled. This lottery is like a gambling machine of the last century. It is completely tempting. Except for a few good people at the beginning, all Wang Guangxu draws afterwards are fraudulent. No need.

Had it not been for the reputation of the last military parade, his points would have been lost.

Wang Guangxu clicked on the panel. Compared with Geely’s light cruisers, he prefers battlecruisers with heavy armor, mainly battleships and cruisers. The era will soon pass, and they will always have more functions when built, so he is very Almost selected a will army-class armored cruiser.

Because many battleships of the previous technology have been exchanged, this cruiser only needs 50,000 points after the improvement. The key is that it is diesel-driven. After three or five years, he has already won some oil producing areas, which is the worst victory. Daqing Oilfield can also be exploited.

The advantage of this cruiser is that it can detect, participate in war, and escort.

Willy Army-class battlecruiser: a displacement of 10,000 tons, a speed of 26 knots, 4 305MM main guns, 12 180 rapid-fire guns (mainly for torpedo boats and light cruisers), 12 torpedo tubes.250MM hardened armor.

Although it lags behind the Qing-class battleships in tonnage, firepower and protection, it is far ahead in terms of speed.

"This is called a Dongfeng-class battlecruiser!"

Wang Guangxu thought that this drawing would be sent to Wei Han, the technical director of Mawei Shipyard, along with the drawing of the Qing-class battleship...
