Chapter 787 God Bless Dayan

Xinbao was eating grapes when he suddenly froze there, holding a big grape in his hand and with a bulge on his cheek, not moving at all.

Yuan Shenjue took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the grape juice from the corner of her mouth. Xinbao came back to her senses and told them.

Everyone hesitated for a moment.

Then Yuan Shenjue asked: "Can you see approximately when it was available?"

Xinbao felt it carefully and said, "It seems to have appeared slowly in mid-May...but Xinbao has never seen it!"

Yuan Shenjue said: "As soon as Second Brother Rong and his men arrived in Guanzhong, they started organizing people to kill locust eggs with pesticides. By mid-May, even if it is impossible to put pesticides on all the fields, almost all the people should be in place. It's just a matter of time. We have to do it slowly."

He paused and said, "I was thinking, is there a possibility that originally, under the locust plague, the entire Guanzhong would be barren, but because of Xinbao's medicine and efforts, Guanzhong was saved, so...so Guanzhong can also be considered Xinbao's territory? So within this area, all the rare plants, no matter where they grow, are also considered Xinbao's?"

Yan Qingshan nodded: "Very likely."

Yuan Shenjue said, "That should be the case. Otherwise, why didn't it show up when uncle went to Jiangnan in person? It's because Jiangnan is just icing on the cake, while Guanzhong is saving lives in times of crisis."

"Yes, yes! It's very possible!" Hao Huashi also said: "It is also possible that the people who went there were Master Rong and Master Chang, who were Master's own people? It's equivalent to Master himself going there?"

Yan Qingshan said: "This is also possible."

He thought for a moment: "Or maybe, when Rong'er and the others were using the medicine, they told everyone that the medicine was made by Xinbao, so everyone was very grateful to Xinbao. People's hearts were in favor, so Xinbao felt that he had become more powerful?"

Everyone nodded.

Yan Qingshan asked: "Xinbao, how much bigger has it become?"

Xinbao said, "It's huge... hundreds of thousands of acres, about 700,000 acres, all planted with crops."

Yan Qingshan nodded slowly.

Actually, Guanzhong is a very large area, and the earthquake area mentioned by Xinbao is also in Guanzhong.

Although Emperor Mingpei has not yet said what to do, since the harm of the earthquake is already known, the only way is to relocate people in advance.

With so many people moving out, food is a basic need.

With food, everything else is easy, and we also have chickens and ducks as meat.

Therefore, if we regard Xinbao as a secret granary, then it is very important to try to figure out how to make this granary bigger and make Xinbao more powerful.

Yan Qingshan said: "Jue'er writes a letter to his father. When the flowers bloom, go and ask Fang Baiju to come over."

Both of them agreed.

Yuan Shenjue quickly wrote a reply to Emperor Mingpei, which was very detailed.

Emperor Mingpei also came back quickly.

The information he has is more detailed, including not only the progress of Yan Shirong's side, but also a lot of detailed data.

For example, the staffing deployment to various locations was indeed in place in mid-May, and has been progressing steadily since mid-May.

The total amount of arable land in Guanzhong is recorded at around 60 million mu, but the actual amount should be more than that, around 70 million mu. Maybe it is a coincidence, but the extra area in Xinbao is exactly 1%.

So their guess is very likely to be correct.

No matter how fast Eagle News is, it still takes time.

Emperor Mingpei then set a time with this side, and then on that day, Xinbao left the group and sat there quietly to sense.

In the palace, in the eyes of those who did not know the inside story, Emperor Mingpei was probably crazy.

In the present Dayan Dynasty, the cabinet and the prime minister secretly check and balance each other. For an ordinary imperial edict, the normal procedure is that the cabinet will make the initial draft... It is also possible that the cabinet will ask the relevant departments to submit reports first before the initial draft.

But the basic process is that the cabinet makes an initial draft, Emperor Mingpei reviews it, the prime minister reviews it, and after confirmation it is formally drafted. An imperial edict needs to have three seals of the emperor, the cabinet, and the prime minister, and then it is handed over to the Ministry of Personnel for dispatch and execution.

On this day, everyone was waiting in the palace, and four imperial edicts were issued in succession.

The contents were similar, all dealing with the earthquake in Xidu. The strange thing was that the edict specifically wrote that this matter included the affairs of the entire province.

The difference is the people who are sent down.

The first one was Chen Zhiyang, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, someone Xinbao didn’t know.

The second one is Wang Ronggui, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War.

The third one is Cheng Fuju.

The fourth one is Yan Shirong.

One was drafted every hour, but none of them were issued.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Earthquakes are already very mysterious and cannot be predicted, but because of the locust plague that happened before, everyone was relatively calm in accepting it.

But later, these four imperial edicts all went through all the procedures like real imperial edicts, and were all handed over to the Menxia Province. The only thing left was to announce the edicts.

But it stopped halfway.

A day later, Emperor Mingpei received feedback from Xinbao.

In the first hour, Xinbao felt nothing at all. In the second and third hours, he felt a little bit. The fourth hour was the most obvious.

Emperor Mingpei knew that the person in charge must be one of Xinbao's "own people". It doesn't matter if there is no real relationship, just like Wang Ronggui, who can be used, but it seems that family members like father and brother have the best effect.

As for how good it is, we will have to wait until the earthquake issue is dealt with before comparing it.

So Emperor Mingpei discarded all four edicts, and urgently transferred Wang Ronggui from the Ministry of War to the Ministry of Revenue, sending him out to take care of this matter.

He planned to wait until the test results came out before releasing Yan Shirong or Yan Shichang to see if he could find a loophole before the dust settled.

Although Wang Ronggui was transferred to the Ministry of Revenue, his transfer from the Ministry of War to the Ministry of Revenue was considered a high promotion, and the work he was doing was also important.

He had to take his men and rush over to make arrangements, take a look at the current situation, draw up the most reasonable migration plan, and then decide on the next step.

Wang Ronggui had been gifted with fruits and grains by Xinbao many times before, so when he saw Emperor Mingpei directly gave him a map, and the map clearly marked which places needed to be completely relocated and which places only needed to be evacuated when the time came... he did not show any surprise and accepted it solemnly.

After seeing Wang Ronggui off, Emperor Mingpei felt a little strange.

Xinbao warned Dayan about natural disasters, which was also good for her. This was really the best news.

He couldn't help but secretly say for the umpteenth time... God bless Dayan!! That's why there is a lucky star in the world.

But in addition to his emotion, he was also thinking about a question.

Dayan is so big, Xinbao’s “own people” are really not enough!!

So he instructed the prime minister and the cabinet to each keep an eye out for suitable people.

First of all, he has to look good, and it doesn’t matter if he’s a little older. The most important thing is that he’s smart, capable, and able to get things done. Then, if he can become one of Xinbao’s own... then the next step is to let him go out and do things.

The more people like this, the better.
