When Yu Xiaolian was thinking about whether to go back to Yangzhou, Caogen handed her the letter from the posthouse.

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

   This is not stopping when you are a parent official in the north, but you are still not stopping when you are in Yangzhou as a salt transport envoy.

  Flood in Huainan, it is reasonable to say that this is a matter of the prefect of Yangzhou, but the emperor asked Su Jingchen to help deal with it, and it was just to assist the prefect of Guan, but the emperor even sent the thirteen-year-old eldest prince to sit in the town.

  While busy with disaster relief, it is also necessary to ensure the safety of the First Prince. In addition to ensuring safety, the First Prince must be exposed to 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 crown prince is still vacant. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this time the eldest prince came to Huainan to rescue the disaster, which is a test for the emperor to the eldest prince.

It was said to be a test, but floods caused floods, refugees swarmed, and riots followed. At first, the mobs just robbed the food soaked in water in groups. Later, I don’t know which force organized the mob into Peasant Rebel Army.

   It is precisely because these rebels are growing day by day that the court realizes that this disaster is different from the past.

  When the imperial court sent people to rescue the disaster, the county magistrate of Huainan County had been killed by the rebel army and hung his body on the city gate.

  The rebel army killed officials when they saw them, and robbed rich people when they saw them. Huainan County has become the stronghold of the rebel army.

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

  In short, the land of Huaihe River and Huaihe River is full of dangers, Su Jingchen told Yu Xiaolian not to wander around if he stays in Yuzhou.

  Yu Xiaolian burned the letter paper.

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

  The eldest prince went to Yangzhou, and the son of Prince Cheng was also in Yangzhou.

  Yangzhou is lively!

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

  Huainan City thrives on water transport, and 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 private ships had to give way to tank ships. This delayed the business of many merchants in the long run. Therefore, Su Jingchen had only been in office for half a year before he began to recruit The pier is being built.

  The construction of the wharf can be described as a win-win situation for both government and business.

Su Jingchen, the chairman of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce and other wealthy businessmen and gentry cooperated to build a new pier. The fee for berthing ships is only a small amount. In addition, they can also repair shops at the new pier. into the pocket.

  Businessmen from other places must follow the rules set by the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and others if they want to use the Huainan River section to pass.

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

   Right now, in the face of a large number of refugees pouring into Yangzhou, Su Jingchen gave the eldest prince an idea, asking the workers who built the wharf to give priority to hiring refugees, and the wages were half the market price.

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

  Of course, the opinion was raised by Su Jingchen in private, and the credit goes to the First 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 the purpose of disaster relief, but after going all the way to Yangzhou, the eldest prince was only afraid, and didn't even think about going to Huainan.

  After the young eldest prince encountered an accident, his head went blank, so Su Jingchen had to give him some advice!
