Chapter 179: Hesitation
"In the past two months, there have been more than 100,000 displaced people in Guizhou, they have to eat when they open their mouths, there is less food and more people, this year is a bad year, and it is not a good harvest in itself, and it is also a big battle in Guangnan, the land is abandoned, the destroyed is destroyed, and the villagers have to save the grain, and the villagers first think about saving it, and they will not sell it at all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info" Tian Chu sighed.
"Guangnan East Road is responsible for the grain of tens of thousands of troops in Yongzhou, and there is really no spare strength to help suppress food prices." He frowned, "I have already asked the DPRK for disaster relief, but the capital is too far away, and when the DPRK and China discuss where to transfer grain and send a letter, it will be a matter of the beginning of the year." The grain transfer area received the order, and it is estimated that it will take several months from the opening of the warehouse to the operation, and the grain and rice arrive in Guizhou...... Now more than 100,000 displaced people are wandering in the city of Guizhou, if the price of grain does not fall for a long time, I am afraid that the year will not be good. β
Hearing this, Zhou Qin probably understood the problem.
Quang Nam is indeed short of food, and in the nearby state capitals, the grain that can be mobilized with the authority of the field reserve can only be used to catch up with the front-line army first. Compared with the front-line war, the displaced people and prices in Guizhou City have to be relied on.
Does Dawei have any grain?
Some.
But the deeper the hinterland, the more troublesome the transportation of materials.
It was only early winter, and the fold was sent to the capital, and after the discussion between the DPRK and the Central Committee was completed, the stamped fold was sent back from the political hall. The grain transfer order went to the place where it should go, and the local people who prepared the corresponding grain and straw and were responsible for the operation were estimated to have reached the depths of winter.
In the depths of winter, shipping is nine times out of ten. After all, starting from Jingzhou, further north, even if all the rivers are not frozen, there will be at least a lot of ice in the middle of the way.
Even if it was Tian Chu who handed the excerpt to the court, in the name of the queen mother's nephew, no one dared to drag his request, but the order was sent down, and the work had to be implemented locally...... Layer by layer, drag on here for a day, drag on there for a moment, drag it back and forth, and the price of grain in Guizhou will explode.
Zhou Qin also frowned.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "I heard that in the past, when grain prices were suppressed, they mostly relied on the yamen to issue notices, prohibiting merchants from increasing the price of rice at will......"
Without waiting for Tian Chu to speak, Mrs. Zhao said, "It doesn't work......"
Faced with her granddaughter's naΓ―ve suggestion, Mrs. Zhao waved her hand, half tolerant, half persuasive, and said: "With such a ban, the price of rice in the market is suppressed, but the businessmen are profit-seeking and don't have enough money to make, where are they willing to give up." In the past, the method had to cooperate with the opening of the warehouse to release grain, if the grain was not released, it would only lead to a price without a market, and now you can buy rice for 300 wen a bucket, and when the time comes, you will not be able to find a place to sell rice on the market when it comes to 600 wen. β
In the final analysis, Guizhou itself has no food.
If the grain merchant refuses to sell, do you dare to go to every house and raid the house?
Moreover, yesterday they also posted a notice, thanking them for their concerted efforts to defend Guizhou, and today they will be severely punished, and spread the word, the displaced people are not chaotic, the rich businessmen are chaotic first, and they have the ability to stir up the bloody storm in the city, and they are not without it.
Wealth can lead to heaven, and people can be in troubled times.
At that time, the landlords and businessmen will draw their own private soldiers, and the Guizhou government will kneel. If it affects the front line because of this, it will be a crime of death.
Zhou Qin was thoughtful.
She remembered the rumors about Tian Chu in her previous life.
At that time, she had already married to Shudi, and Guanzhong, which had always been a granary, had a severe drought for many years, grain prices soared, and people were displaced everywhere, and Empress Dowager Tian sent her nephew to relieve the disaster. After Tian Chu arrived, he skillfully used clever methods, opened canals, built bridges, repaired roads, and built several large projects, which made each industry go its own way and pacified a large number of displaced people in the area.
Because of the outstanding effect, the DPRK and China also deliberately put this matter in the newspaper to praise and publicize it.
When it was, Chengdu Fulu changed the governor, and the new official took office with three fires, asking the government to analyze the pros and cons and how to borrow it. Her father-in-law at that time received a false title, and he never just went to the yamen to order it, and wrote an article to hand it in at will, but was pointed out in the government meeting and asked to share his comments on the handover. In addition to eating, drinking, and having fun, the rest of the guys didn't know anything, so they naturally didn't know anything, and they were reprimanded on the spot, punished, and got inferior in the annual exam that year.
He didn't look down on that little bit of money, but he was ridiculed by his colleagues and despised by the eunuchs, but he was extremely humiliated. When I returned home, I had to beat and scold my subordinates to get angry.
It didn't take long for the imperial court to take the imperial examination, and one of the questions asked by the palace was how to help the disaster and govern the people. The most important point is to take the Guanzhong disaster relief as an example and elaborate on the reasons why the field reserves have been able to stabilize grain prices.
The champion article spread all over the world, and with the shame of his cheap father-in-law, Zhou Qin also went to observe it out of curiosity, because although he did not witness it with his own eyes, he also roughly understood the method of Tianchu to govern the displaced people and stabilize grain prices. In retrospect, although the situation in Guanzhong and Guizhou is not exactly the same, it should be useful.
She opened her mouth, but did not speak.
If she says it, can it be regarded as a merit of taking away the land reserve? Besides, she is a boudoir woman, and suddenly makes systematic remarks on economic governance, and the surname Tian is an outsider, isn't it inappropriate?
When he returned to the room, Zhou Qin listed all the methods he had heard in his previous life about the management of the displaced people in Guanzhong and the stabilization of grain prices, and wrote a simple draft. After she finished writing, she read it again, smiled, and put the manuscript in the box for someone to put away.
After a year of training, Haitang has a considerable acceptance of many things, she glanced at what Zhou Qin wrote, carefully bound it, and said, "Girl, is this written to the prince of Cheng'en Mansion?" β
Zhou Qin shook his head and said, "Let's let it go first." β
However, she waited for several days, and the price of grain in Guizhou City was higher day by day, but she did not see any effective policies issued by the government office.
In the afternoon of this day, she went to visit Zhou Yanzhi, but saw that the other party was half-leaning on the bed, holding a scroll in his hand, and there were many books scattered around him, frowning, flipping through quickly. Seeing her coming, Zhou Yanzhi seemed to be startled, and immediately stuffed the scroll in his hand into the quilt, and when he stuffed it, he saw the books spread out on the bed.
This thing was really hidden, so he had to raise his head and sneer: "My sister is here?" β
Zhou Qin couldn't help but glance at him.
She cast her eyes on the cover of the book, which was a note of the famous ministers of the past dynasties printed by the bookstore.
Zhou Yanzhi saw that his sister's eyes were not good, so he hurriedly explained: "I'll just watch it for a while, don't bother, Gui Zhi is staring!" β
As he spoke, he glanced at the cinnamon branch on the side.
Gui Zhi coughed, and was about to speak, when Zhou Qin's eyes were swept away, and he immediately stopped his mouth and stood by the door without saying a word.
