Chapter 229: Etiquette Breakdown
In the middle of summer, the heavy rain has stopped. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info[η^ζ^δΉ¦εΊ][]. [774] [buy]. []
In the territory of Bianxian, 200,000 displaced people have been resettled in the four pavilions, expanding the city and reassuring the people, and cultivating wasteland. The garrison generals of the Street Pavilion and Wupanting are Liang Ye and Yang Yu, two holy generals, whose prestige is quite high, and the newly recommended county officials are also working hard, so it only took more than a month to set up the camp and settle it properly. The Dongping Lingkou and Keikou were garrisoned by four generals, and the two capable generals Li Huan and Chen Kuo were in charge of civil affairs.
"My lord, although the disaster is not shallow this time, nearly 80,000 troops in Chuyang and Chuzhou are scattered, and there are a lot of armaments left. After the renovation, there is no shortage of barracks to house people's livelihoods. Qin Ji was in the chamber of Wubao, reporting to Rong Qingzuo about the affairs of the county, and with him were Kang Yun and other close ministers.
Rong Qing looked at the report, nodded and said: "The materials of the 80,000 army, plus the financing of various counties and townships, although it is barely enough to resettle 200,000 disaster victims, it is enough. It's just that now is the season of summer, and you can still spend the day, and the weather will get cooler in the future, and the autumn and winter seasons will be a big deal. Lord Qin, since the end of last year, we have been building bridges and roads, we can temporarily put aside the labor, transfer labor to these four counties, first help the victims to repair houses and build cities, and be sure to build houses before the first snow! β
"No!" Qin Ji arched his hand, but said again: "Lord, among the six counties in my Dongpingling, only five counties produce grain. 100,000 stone Jingyuan rice, originally quite a surplus, but after the resettlement of 200,000 displaced people, there is a big deficit! After the summer planting, it will not be harvested until at least October, but for the sake of the ministers, I am afraid that there will be a shortage of grain and rice. When Rong Qing heard this, he also felt a little powerless.
"This Hongu naturally knows. In fact, those homeless people have never eaten enough, two meals a day, one porridge and one meal, and they have to build houses to open up wasteland, who can stand it. These officials in Xianxian County are also unwilling to take out the grain and rice, and the palace can't let go of it to grab it, right? Now that Chuyang and Chuzhou have not raised troops to attack, even if these hypocrites still have a little conscience, they are afraid that they will be left by the princes of the world, otherwise they don't have to drag it until the autumn, and this county will be over. β
Rong Qing really felt a little exhausted at this time. even regretted that he didn't run away with Zhen Heng at the beginning.
"The lord doesn't need to be anxious, the minister has already come up with a countermeasure for this matter." Kang Yun sat up straight and bowed his hand to Rong Qing. "Does the lord know that every time the county collects grain, there will be 5,000 stone grain and rice left in the city to be used for official wine brewing?" When Rong Qing heard this, his mind suddenly lit up, "Yes, in the county official treasury, there is also sacrificial grain." Pass on my king's edict, take out the 5,000 stone grain first, and the whole county will abstain from alcohol for half a year, and go home to drink alcohol, and now there is no wine in the yamen! β
"No!"
"However, although 5,000 stone grain and rice is a lot, compared with 200,000 displaced people, it is still ......" Rong Qing patted his head, but Kang Yun said again: "Lord, Jingyuan rice is not as good as ordinary rice, it is chaff shell crushed steamed cakes, and it can also satisfy hunger." In addition, the five grains planted by the lord, refined rice, and wheat are only two of them, and there are also beans and millet, which are sealed in each county. The minister wanted to ......" Rong Qing listened, and immediately slapped the table.
"Okay, how did I forget the grains. How many of these things are there? β
"Back to the lord, the miscellaneous grains are not planted, and each of the five counties now has 10,000 stones of sealed grain, a total of 50,000 stones."
"Haha, isn't that enough?" Rong Qing stood up with a smile and rubbed his hands a little excitedly, "Now that summer ploughing has begun, Jingyuan rice has been sown and planted in the field." As long as we can survive the harvest in October, we will be able to tide over this difficulty, and tell the whole county, whether it is the military or the civilian, to eat miscellaneous grains with Lao Tzu every morning and evening, as long as you pray that God will have a good wind and rain in the past six months, this princess can no longer starve to death even if Lao Tzu is not right! β
Because of the flooding of the city, Rong Qing has always had a pimple in his heart. She can't be a hypocrite like Concubine Lu and Zhen Tong, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality for the people of the world, but in fact, she ran away without a shadow when she stabbed out a catastrophe. Although Rong Qing's thinking is a bit pedantic, only with such a state of mind can he truly cultivate the external exercises of the heavenly level and plant holy rice to help the people in the world.
"In the past six months, I must enter the Void Illusion Realm to practice again and grow holy rice! It's just that during this period, it has suffered all the virtuous people. β
"What did the lord say? For the country and the people, the ministers are duty-bound! β
The weather is gradually entering autumn, the fighting on the Jiangnan Plain has subsided, and the military and civilians have returned to normal. Outside the counties and townships, patches of farmland have been re-lit with new seedlings, and men and women work in them, living and reproducing from generation to generation, looking quiet and full of vitality. Among the newly expanded four counties, the neat camp tents have been drawn out of the word "well", and the pattern of ten miles and eight townships has been discharged, with military camps and private enterprises.
On the cultivated land, displaced people are working hard to cultivate it. Originally, because of the disaster of the two major warlords of Chuzhou and Chuyang, they left their hometown, but they did not expect to be sheltered by Xianxian, have food to eat, and have a home to live in, coupled with the rumors of the people in the village intentionally or unintentionally, the people all know that Xianxian County is guarded by a fairy-like princess, her name is Rongqing.
Although it was noon, there was no longer the heat of summer in the official offices of the county town. In the yamen wing, it was the lunch time of the officials, but compared with previous years, since Rong Qing was stationed in the county seat, other things were not taken care of for the time being, and even the officials' meals were retreated. The military attache is better, because Rong Qing issued a royal decree that the city cannot be poor, so the general's meal is two dishes and one soup, with vegetables and meat, but the civil official is too far behind.
Yu Song sat in front of the three-foot square table, and the servant who delivered the meal only served two bowls. The soup is egg soup, and the egg flowers in it can be seen, but it is not tasteful, and what is even more annoying is that the meat foam in the dish is not only less, but also pitifully small. Glancing at the officials of the various ministries before and after, many of them had dark faces, if it weren't for the fact that Rong Qing's reputation was too powerful and his magical powers were overwhelming, I am afraid that someone would have to pull the flag back now.
Zhang Xingzhi, the defender of the city who had not been in the court for a long time, scooped a case of wine with a spoon, only took a sip, and spit it aside. "It's water again! This is simply a rude and a moral collapse! As soon as he threw the liquor case on the ground, many officials shouted, "Someone, what the hell is going on?" We work hard for the country, can we eat the food of these pigs and dogs at noon? β
A small official hurriedly knelt at the door and replied: "Ladies and gentlemen, the princess has issued an edict that the current situation is in danger, and the monarch and the people need to work together to tide over the difficulties. As long as this year's autumn harvest is over, His Highness will take back this edict and reward you again! But before the little official finished speaking, Zhang Xingzhi kicked over the table, "Fart!" Lao Tzu is the military division of the county of Xian Town, the great Sima! There are rules in the court, and there are rules for food and clothing, where did the princess of the bird come from, look for her! β
"You dare!" The little official hurriedly stood up and stopped him, "The princess and all the cronies and ministers are frugal in food and clothing, you dare to be rude!" The courtiers have lunch, the rice is enough, if you want to drink wine and eat meat, you can go home and eat! β
"Get out!" Zhang Xing fanned the small officials, and many officials also followed him out of the wing. "Hmph, let's go to her for a review this time! Even if she occupies this county, she must also talk about the laws of heaven and the country, and if she does not follow the etiquette system, let's go to Beijing to face the saint, she Rongqing wants to be the second green eyebrow army, so let the princes of the world discuss it together and expel it from Kyushu! "Yes, find her!" A group of officials of the world clan were violent, and they went straight towards the palace.
"Drumming, passing on the class, we want to see the princess!"
