Li Yuanai did not enter the disaster area directly, but arrived in Yangzhou first, meeting with the Yangzhou Prefecture Chief Wang Wendu and the Yangzhou Navy General Manager Ancient God Sense.

The two bigwigs who held local military power had great respect for Li Yuanai, especially his actions of opening the sea directly increased the control of the Tang Dynasty over Southeast Asia.

The capital of Jiangnan is in Yangzhou, and the Yangzhou Navy is the only naval army in the Tang Dynasty.

This control of Southeast Asia is naturally beyond the reach of the Guanzhong court.

This burden naturally fell on the chief of Yangzhou Prefecture and the Yangzhou navy.

Jiangnan, where his father was not close to him and his mother didn't love him, suddenly rose, second only to Liangzhou, which controlled the fortress of the Western Regions, and its power was invisibly improved a lot.

Wang Wendu, the ancient god is naturally the biggest beneficiary, and he did almost nothing and reaped the benefits of the fisherman.

Li Yuanai, who had done all this, naturally had a good impression of him. When he learned about his arrival, he went to the dock to greet him.

Li Yuanai told the two of them that Li Zhi's decree was revealed, and they realized that they had been incorporated into the position of the prince in front of them, and secretly glad that they did not lose their courtesy.

It is said that Li Yuanai and the current emperor grew up wearing pairs of pants. They are called uncle and nephew as close as brothers. It is true.

This directly entrusts Jiangnan's military and political power. Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji, the two founding princes, are the most powerful ones in front of him.

"I also heard about the floods in the Jianghuai River and ordered people to accept the victims of the disaster and build a porridge shed. However, the prefecture did not store much food, and some of them were unable to do so. The King of Wu was able to take on this great task, and the people of Jianghuai River were saved. My subordinates were dull and did not know how to solve it, but I followed the arrangements of Your Highness."

As the top leader of the state prefecture, Wang Wen spoke very well in his official accent.

The ancient god was the orthodox general who led the army and could not say anything good, and said dullly: "Since it was the command of the saint, the Yangzhou navy will be subject to the order of the King of Wu."

Li Yuanai did not pursue the details and nodded, "Shi Wang, please issue a notice immediately to recruit fishermen from the prefecture to come to the government office to listen to it."

Wang Wendu immediately understood and said, "Why is the King of Wu planning to fish and increase food and provide disaster relief? Is he afraid of a drop in the bucket?"

Li Yuanai said: "The fish in the rivers and lakes are unsustainable. But there are countless fish in the vast ocean. Our dynasty has roughly mastered the technology of voyages. As long as we go into the deep sea and fish in the near-shore, we will definitely get a great harvest."

Along the way, he was thinking about how to solve the problem of food. As he thought about it, he suddenly thought of the strategy simulation game he played in later generations.

The source of this food is nothing more than planting, gathering, hunting, and fishing.

Among them, planting is undoubtedly the most stable, and any game is no exception.

The biggest problem of planting takes time, not just planting and getting it, but it takes a while to harvest. Collecting, hunting, and fishing are different. You can get food immediately, but the harvest is limited.

Collecting and hunting are not advisable. There are not so many wild fruits and beast resources in Jiangnan, and it is okay to provide a small number of people with a filling stomach. Faced with hundreds of thousands of disaster victims, the flood is dropping.

Only fishing is feasible. Most fishermen in this era mainly fish in rivers and lakes, and only a few brave people dare to fish on the coast.

Marine resources have not been developed.

Li Yuanai didn't know if it would be effective, but as of the current situation, the food in Jiangnan was definitely not enough. It would be too passive to rely on Zhenla Kingdom to rely on the future.

The longer Li Yuanai is in this position, the more he understands a truth. As long as there is hope, he has to try it.

This is the first person who eats grapes, but he can make a profit, at least he won’t lose money!

"All warship soldiers were sent out to catch fish. My Tang soldiers reported to the king and protected the people. They could capture tigers and go to the sea to catch dragons. For the sake of the victims of the Jianghuai River, what if they were a guest star in the fishermen?"

The ancient god feels the most straight, and the blood is boiling, and he whispers loudly: "The Yangzhou Navy will definitely live up to the expectations of the King of Wu."

Wang Wendu bowed and said, "Subordinate, let's make arrangements. The King of Wu is exhausted all the way, so he can go to the government office to rest and wait for the results."

"No need!" Li Yuanai waved and said, "I believe that the chief minister can handle this little thing properly. I plan to go to Sizhou to command disaster relief. You mobilize thousands of soldiers from Yangzhou Chongzhe Mansion to listen to me and go north with me."

Wang Wendu, the ancient god's face changed drastically after hearing this.

Sizhou is a severely affected area where disaster victims gather. Except for the generation of Suzhou who has no news so far, Sizhou was the most severely affected. However, Sizhou was called Xuyi in ancient times, and it means "opening the eyes as Xu and directly looking at it as Yi". Simply put, it is a mountain city with a high terrain and no flooding trend. Moreover, as a key place in the Jianghuai River, most of the homeless victims choose to seek food from Sizhou to escape.

The endless refugees completely exceeded the scope of the Sizhou government and could not continue.

The news I got was also in a panic.

Wang Wendu said: "How can King Wu take risks easily? Sizhou is currently full of disasters and disorderly..." He paused and said: "The people are angry in the chaos, and the disaster victims are likely to become mobs, which is too dangerous."

The ancient god also said: "Even if the King of Wu wants to go, how can I only bring one thousand soldiers? Yangzhou can protect the safety of Jiangnan, and can raise more than 10,000 soldiers, and the Yangzhou navy under my command can also be used..."

Li Yuanai shook his head and said, "Take so many troops to fight with the victims? One thousand is enough. I went to Sizhou to save the people, not to suppress them. Disaster victims are not equal to mobs. Only when I am desperate can I make a fuss. If I go to the front line in person and still make a fuss, I will be incompetent!"

Li Yuanai understands some situations in history.

There were many major disasters, and the court could not provide relief, so it adopted a laissez-faire attitude.

Then the victims turned into mobs, and the court would openly suppress them with the royal army.

In this way, the court saved money for disaster relief and eliminated the hidden dangers caused by disasters.

Li Yuanai never wanted to see this method.

There are now tens of thousands of disaster victims gathered in Sizhou, and they are a fuse that can be ignited anytime and anywhere.

Of course, Li Yuanai was not blindly taking risks. How effective can a group of hungry skinny people with wooden sticks and hoes have?

He and a thousand soldiers were regular soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. At the critical moment, he might not be able to do one to suppress the riots and retreat calmly.

It just doesn't sound nice when it is spread.

By then, there are no more places.

Wang Wendu was solemn and finally realized that the prince of Tang in front of him was sincere and wanted to resolve the disaster, not to act in the rear.

It is no wonder that the old emperor once said that Li Yuanai was the leader of all the kings and was well-known.

"After the subordinates arranged to return the fisherman, they personally met with the gentry of Yangzhou, begged them to provide help, and soon they personally brought the food north to assist the King of Wu in disaster relief."

Good deeds and righteousness are contagious. Wang Wendu originally planned to stay out of the matter and do his best to do his best, but when he saw that Li Yuanai, a prince, was still like this, he felt that he was filthy and was inspired.
