Chapter 525

Author: Meitong

When Yu Xiaolian was thinking about whether to go back to Yangzhou, Caogen handed her the letter he had taken from the post house.

Yu Xiaolian read Su Jingchen's letter and let out a long sigh.

This didn't stop when I was a parent official in the north, and it didn't stop when I worked as a salt transport envoy in Yangzhou.

The flood in Huainan was logically a matter for the Yangzhou magistrate, but the emperor asked Su Jingchen to help deal with it. It was just to assist the magistrate. However, the emperor also sent the eldest prince, who was only thirteen years old, to come and take charge.

While busy with disaster relief, we must also ensure the safety of the eldest prince. In addition to ensuring safety, we must also let the eldest prince get in touch with the front line of disaster relief and effectively learn some useful disaster relief strategies.

Although the emperor has been on the throne for many years, the position of prince is still vacant. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the eldest prince's coming to Huainan to provide disaster relief is a test for the eldest prince.

It was said to be a test, but floods occurred, refugees swarmed, and riots ensued. At first, the mob just gathered in groups to rob food that had been soaked in water. Later, I don’t know which force actually organized the mob into

Peasant Rebel Army.

It was precisely because these rebels were growing stronger that the court realized that this disaster was different from the past.

When the imperial court sent people to provide disaster relief, the magistrate of Huainan County had been killed by the rebels and his body was hung on the city gate.

The rebels killed officials when they saw them and robbed them when they saw wealth. Huainan County has become a stronghold for the rebels.

The eldest prince was sent by the emperor to provide disaster relief at this time, but he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

In short, the land of Lianghuai River is full of dangers. Su Jingchen asked Yu Xiaolian not to wander around if she stayed in Yuzhou.

Yu Xiaolian burned the letter paper.

It seems that the land of Huaihe River and Huaihe River may not be peaceful in a short period of time.

The eldest prince went to Yangzhou, and Prince Cheng also went to Yangzhou.

Yangzhou is so lively!

Since Su Jingchen took office, he began to raise funds from various salt merchants to build a wharf.

Huainan City relies on water transportation. Whoever has a dock has the right to speak.

The original wharf in Huainan City was overcrowded. During the peak season for transporting grain and salt, all merchant ships and civilian ships had to give way to the canal ships. In the long run, it delayed the business of many merchants. Therefore, Su Jingchen started to make arrangements only half a year after he took office.

A dock is being built.

Building a dock can be said to be a win-win situation for both government and business.

Su Jingchen cooperated with the president of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce and other wealthy businessmen to build a new pier. The boat berthing fee was only a small amount. In addition, they could also build shops at the new pier. As long as there were ships docked at the pier, it also meant that the money would continue to flow.

Into pocket.

Businessmen from other places who want to use the Huainan River section must abide by the rules set by the president of the Chamber of Commerce and others.

This kind of right to speak is very important. It is not an illusory dignity, but a real benefit.

Now, facing the large number of refugees pouring into Yangzhou, Su Jingchen gave the eldest prince an idea and asked the workers building the wharf to give priority to hiring refugees, and the wages were half higher than the market price.

The eldest prince was very puzzled at first, but after Su Jingchen analyzed the pros and cons for him, the eldest prince immediately adopted Su Jingchen's opinion.

Of course, the opinion was raised by Su Jingchen in private, and the credit will naturally go to the eldest prince.

The eldest prince came all the way from the capital and transferred more than 100,000 loads of grain from the major granaries along the way for disaster relief. However, after passing the border and defeating the generals all the way to Yangzhou, the eldest prince was only scared and did not want to go to Huainan at all.

After the young eldest prince encountered something, his mind went blank. Su Jingchen had to give him some advice!
