The Song army won several consecutive victories, and the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Quanzhou was high. People from all counties and towns outside the city were either sailing or hiking, and they all asked to enter the city to help the battle. In a few days, there were tens of thousands of people.

CN is an exciting and happy thing, but the side effects also come. First, so many people suddenly poured into the city, and food and accommodation became a problem; second, the mermaids and dragons entering the city were mixed, posing a huge threat to public security. As time goes by, there are more potential hidden dangers, which caused uneasiness among the ministers.

Zhao Bing was both happy and worried when he learned about the situation. What he was happy about was that his series of actions had played a role, and the instigation of the people was quite powerful. His strategy of driving the people to attack the city not only made the Song army in the city feel great pressure, but also caused the people outside the city to panic. No one wanted to be used as meat bullets by the Tartars to attack the city. Not only did he lose his life in vain, he also gained a bad reputation for helping the evil. In addition, rumors of massacres spreading everywhere caused the people outside the city to flock into the city.

From the data statistics from various places, Zhao Bing can see that although there are many brave men from all walks of life who are "responsible to the king", the quality is not satisfactory. Among them, only about 30% of them are suitable for joining the army and carrying heavy physical labor, but more are the elderly, weak, women and children. If we look at it from another perspective, these people come with their families more to take refuge and find a job, but it seems that they are nominally dedicated to the king.

However, Zhao Bing was not opposed to the influx of family members. After all, the anti-Yuan reinstatement is not a matter of overnight, and young people will grow up to adults. In addition, with the influx of the dynasty in Qiongzhou, the balance between men and women has been broken. If so many men cannot find wives, it will inevitably cause many social problems. Moreover, the existence of family members will also make the soldiers understand the responsibilities on their shoulders and are conducive to the stability of the team.

Now that people have arrived, how to send these people to Qiongzhou and when to Qiongzhou is a test for Zhao Bing and everyone. After all, the migration of tens of thousands of people is not a simple matter even in modern times. If you are not careful, you will be dangerous and confused. In this era when communication and transportation are extremely simple, if you want to send tens of thousands of people safely to Qiongzhou, thousands of miles away, it is not a problem to prepare only a few boats.

Zhao Bing lacked organizational experience in this kind of thing, so he had to convene all the ministers to discuss. Now all the ministries and commissions have moved to the office of Pufu Houyuan. The venue for the discussion is chosen in a water pavilion by the lake. This place is not only beautiful, but also quiet and cool, ventilated and bright, but also spacious enough. There are ready-made tables and chairs inside, which can be used as a conference room just by re-arrangement.

Wang De asked someone to clean up and arrange it early in the morning. Ni Liang set up a warning around him, and the ministers who followed him gathered here after the Mao hour. Zhao Bing did not agree with the rules of the emperor sitting, the ministers standing and kneeling when he was in court in ancient times. Although this was conducive to demonstrating the class and raising the emperor's status, he did not agree with it. After all, prestige was not reflected by the height of sitting. If you were an idiot, you would only become a laughing stock.

Therefore, as long as it is not a very formal occasion, Zhao Bing is very casual and will give him a seat when discussing matters with his ministers. Today is no exception. After the ministers meet, they give him a seat. Everyone sits in accordance with the left and right military ranks and the right. However, everyone not only has seats, but also has a small tea case very caringly placed next to each person and prepared tea. In order to prevent it from turning into a tea party, Zhao Bing still did not prepare melon seeds, fruits and snacks.

"Report to Your Majesty, the number of people entering the city has reached more than 60,000 in recent days, and the food consumed only by more than 4,000 stones per day. At present, the price of food in the city has begun to rise, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to raise funds. Returning to Qiongzhou has stopped. If it takes a long time, it will inevitably cause a shortage of food." Cai Wanyi stood up first and said.

"Yeah!" Zhao Bing nodded. Now there are more than 300,000 troops in the city. The food consumed in one day is equivalent to the daily consumption of the entire Qiongzhou. Since entering the city, the Song army has raised millions of stones of grain through various means. Because they did not intend to stay for a long time, except for supplying military supplies, most of them have been transported back to Qiongzhou. The war has stopped transporting grain from other places, so the food consumed is stored in the city. The daily food prices have been stable a few days ago, and now they have begun to rise, indicating that the supply of grain has become tighter.

"Your Majesty, it is reported that the Sodu will allow the troops to collect grain everywhere, and the surrounding counties and towns are all robbed by the enemy. It is already very difficult to raise grain from outside the city!" Wen Tianxiang also stood up and said.

"Yeah!" Zhao Bing nodded again, without saying much. But he knew in his heart that under such circumstances, the people entering the city were probably not food. In addition to avoiding military disasters, they were afraid that they were forced to eat in the city because of lack of food. After all, the emperor could not send hungry soldiers.

"Your Majesty, I think this is all a treacherous plan from Sodu. Because he could no longer drive the people to attack the city, he robbed the food, but he did not intercept the people entering the city. His intention was to increase the consumption of food in the city and force us to retreat!" Zhang Shijie also stood up and said.

"Shu Shu's words are reasonable. Suodu failed to attack the city several times. He wanted to force us to withdraw his troops." Zhao Bing thought about what Zhang Shijie said was the right explanation. Whether the people entered the city on a large scale or Suo was intentional.

"Although Suodu does this, it also helps us, so that we can gather so many people under our ranks without having to worry about it!" Ying Jieyan stroked his beard and smiled.

"Haha, that's right. We eat up all the food in the city before leaving, leaving it to Sodu a scrap city so that they can't get anything!" Zhao Mengjin said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, because the people entering the city are full of things and are mixed with fish and dragons, there are some who violate the ban and some who steal and disturb the people. The soldiers patrolling the city arrested hundreds of refugees who violated the curfew last night. If so many people don't have enough food, they will inevitably cause trouble!" Gao Yingsong was responsible for the investigation of traitors and robbery in the city and maintaining public order. Now the population has increased, and these people cannot be killed at will, which is very difficult to deal with.

"What Gao Tixing said is that some of the refugees who have entered the city are now placed in confiscated houses, and even some military camps are vacant to accommodate refugees, but a large number of refugees still have to sleep in the streets. They settle down everywhere, make fires, wash and dump waste on the streets, which not only pollutes the water source in the city, but also hinders traffic and hinders the movement of the army. They often have conflicts with the people in the city, and even robs of relief grain. Arrangements should be made early, otherwise fires or epidemics will be out of control." Cai Wanyi added.

"Your Majesty, I think you should consider withdrawing troops as soon as possible. If the strong enemy is on the side, it will be impossible to curb the chaos in the city!" Wen Tianxiang stood up again and said.

"How many military members are there in the city now?" Zhao Bing nodded and asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, more than 20,000 people have gathered in the city. Judging from the current situation, I think there will be more!" Cai Wanyi replied.

"Well, there are quite a lot!" Zhao Bing nodded and turned to Liu Zhu and said, "Tong Liu, how many ships are there in Quanzhou right now?"

"Report to Your Majesty, in addition to warships, there are more than 200 thousand-stone sea ships available for call at various ports in Quanzhou. They set sail back to Qiong immediately after loading the cargo!" The main task of the navy was to protect the safety of Jinjiang and various ports and undertake the escort task. He became the leader of the transportation brigade responsible for dispatching the ships, and after a brief thought, he reported.

"When will the other ships return?" Zhao Bing asked again. He conspired to find out that with the current transport capacity of the ship, it is difficult for the entire army to retreat, let alone withdraw.

"Report to Your Majesty, there are more than 2,000 ships in the navy's baggage ships and official ships confiscated in Quanzhou, Pu family and Qianshi who invaded Shang, with a total of more than 2,000 ships in Shanghai, and each 400 ships were formed into a team. They sailed the next day. If the first ships arrived in Qiong smoothly, they should be on their way back now!" Liu Zhu replied. They had such a formation, one was the size of the fleet, and the pirates did not dare to act without action; the other was the time for the monsoon to change, the weather was changing unpredictable, and the fleet was too large, and once there was a loss, they would not be wiped out.

"Okay!" Zhao Bing asked clearly, and then said to Wen Tianxiang, "How much material does Wen Xiang need to transport now?"

"Your Majesty, in order to prevent the occurrence of complete damage, all the materials are in a mixed formation. Now the seized property and the urgently needed materials such as copper, iron, nitr, medicinal materials and tung oil have been basically shipped. At present, only horses and a small part of the grain are still waiting for transportation at the dock. It takes about two batches to be transferred!" Wen Tianxiang was in charge of civil affairs and was very clear about these situations. The emperor immediately replied when he asked.

"If the journey goes smoothly, we will travel back and forth, plus the loading and unloading time will take at least twelve days. The first batch of ships returning to Quanzhou will arrive in Quanzhou in four days. Then we will have to stay in Quanzhou for more than ten days before all troops will withdraw." Zhao Bing pondered for a moment. Although he had read the list of seized, it was just a sensory understanding. However, the load capacity of the two thousand thousand stone ships was there. This was not a robbery, it was clearly a moving house, but the situation was not optimistic. They had to consume a large amount of supplies after ten days of persistence, and Qiongzhou was about to enter the rainy season, so there was not much time left for them.

"What Your Majesty said is right. I think you should evacuate the people as soon as possible to avoid changes!" Wen Tianxiang nodded.

"Our army is winning streaks. If the people are suddenly asked to withdraw to Qiongzhou, I am afraid they will think that the court exiled them, which will arouse dissatisfaction." Ying Jieyan opposed the rash evacuation of the people.

"It's not like evacuating, it's not possible to evacuate. Do you have to wait until the city is broken before leaving?" Zhang Shijie said very dissatisfied with the two of them.

"Sir Shu, don't be anxious, aren't you discussing?" Ying Jieyan was worried that Wen Tianxiang's violent temper would quarrel with him, so he quickly comforted him.

"What Shushu said is reasonable. If it cannot be arranged properly, we will not only cause chaos when evacuation, but also cause major casualties!" Zhao Bing also believed that what Zhang Shijie said was reasonable. After the city was broken, it was inevitable that he would be chased by the enemy, and it would be difficult to control the chaos.

"Why are you so negligent? Is this tea so divided?" Just as everyone was thinking about how to deal with it, Wen Tianxiang's scolding suddenly came.

"Left Prime Minister, this is not..." Although His Majesty prepared tea, he was discussing the matter and was in front of His Majesty, and no one was embarrassed to drink it. When the tea was cold, he quickly changed the tea to everyone, but Wen Tianxiang found that they were actually "fooling" him. The little Huangmen was frightened and quickly explained.

"When you see Your Majesty being young, you will be negligent and perfunctory. What should you be punished?" Wen Tianxiang rebuked again without waiting for his explanation.

"You..." Zhao Bing was a little unhappy. At least these eunuchs were serving their servants. There were also people in the world who beat the dog and scolded them in front of him. Isn't this accusation? Besides, in his impression, the foreign ministers were respectful to the eunuchs and wanted to see the emperor and even had to give him a red envelope. Why did he change the rules of association when he got here!

"Officials, it's okay to do something, don't worry!" Wang Deke pulled the little emperor's sleeve and said.

"Hmm?!" Zhao Bing was even more surprised. He changed the way to make tea. He knew that although Wang De was of low grade, he was his confidant after all. After being scolded, he still dared not say anything.

"Your Majesty, there is a reason for this..." Wang De hurriedly whispered to him a few words when he saw that His Majesty was still angry.

"How could he have taken my idea on my behalf?" Zhao Bing frowned when he heard this. He understood what was going on, but was still unhappy.

It turns out that the eunuchs in the Song Dynasty were most afraid of were prime ministers, which was historical reasons. One was the system. Where was the family law formulated by Taizu? The "Old Book of Official System" stipulates: "The dynasty punished the arrogance of eunuchs in the Tang and Five Dynasties, and did not allow the general of the Dianwei to interfere in political affairs, but only had their own duties." What was the eunuch's job? If the emperor and the women in the harem are served well, this is their job. The prime minister in the Song Dynasty was called "all things are in harmony", with great power, and the emperor could not cover them, and the eunuchs could not do their job well, so it was natural for the prime minister to denounce it.

The two are the eunuchs' appointment power in the Privy Council. According to the collective responsibility system of one prime minister and more stakes or two prime ministers in the Song Dynasty, the head of the Privy Council was just the prime minister's deputy staff, and the decision-making power was still in the hands of the prime minister. In the final analysis, if eunuchs wanted to make a fortune, it would be impossible without the help of the prime minister. For example, if the prime ministers like Tong Guan were not willing to use them to indulge them, how could they make trouble?

Third, the power to punish eunuchs is also in the hands of the prime minister. If there is any mistake on eunuchs, they will be relocated, and if there is any effort, they will be rewarded or punished. This is all due to the prime minister's happiness. From this, Zhao Bing also came to a truth that if there are rats at home, not only should they strictly guard against the system, but they should raise one or more old cats, but it is also necessary to reduce one thing. The legal system and the rule of man complement each other. There are also heavy blows to attack under the deterrence. A rat-like cattle cannot rise, and even a rat-like cattle will come soon.
