Although he sent an urgent letter to the saint in the capital, the virtuous king in Huangzhou City did not wait passively, but tried his best to deal with the officials of the Huangzhou prefect Yamen. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Fortunately, the officials in Huangzhou are not all greedy, nor are they monolithic, King Xian personally sat in the Huangzhou Mansion, gave full play to the means of breaking through, and after several days of sleepless efforts, finally controlled the Huangzhou Governor's Yamen in the palm of his hand.

At the same time, he sent the captain of the guard, Ming Bao, to lead people to make a surprise visit to the two grain storage depots outside Huangzhou City, and after seeing the grain depots, he was caught off guard and easily took the grain depots into his own hands.

After an intense inventory, it was found that the discrepancies in the accounts of the grain depot were much more serious than expected.

The grain storehouse, which was supposed to have 20,000 koku, was actually less than 5,000 koku.

Although the grain in the granary was much less than originally expected, King Xian and his staff finally decided to open the warehouse the next day to release the grain to help the people from starvation.

It's just that King Xian never expected that Xuanping Hou, who was supposed to be his disaster relief help, would almost put all his efforts during this period into waste overnight.

The news that the imperial court sent troops to suppress the victims spread widely in the city of Huangzhou, and then through the hype and instigation of the real thugs hidden among the victims, the people's emotions who did not know the truth were instantly ignited, and the Huangzhou Mansion was surrounded by public anger.

Those thugs took advantage of the fire to loot, and took advantage of the fact that the soldiers led by the Marquis of Xuanping had not yet arrived in Huangzhou City, and the limited troops in the hands of King Xian forcibly attacked the storage granary on the outskirts of Huangzhou City.

Fortunately, King Xian had already prepared, scattered the guards, and took the soldiers of Huangzhou City to guard the granary, which saved the granary.

Keeping the granary is the first step, and the second step is to open the granary to release grain, so that people can eat in order to appease the people.

As one of the important grain bases in the north of the Great Domain, there are two grain depots in the suburbs of Huangzhou, with eight granaries respectively, according to the requirements of the household department, these sixteen granaries should have at least 20,000 stones to store grain, but it is a pity that less than two or three tenths of them are eaten by the moths in the Huangzhou Mansion.

This is also the place where the saint is most angry, and it is also the reason why he has to ask the household department to arrange grain from Kyoto, otherwise even if there is no harvest this year, the grain depot of Huangzhou Mansion should be enough for the entire Huangzhou Prefecture to survive the famine.

After receiving the secret letter from King Xian, the Holy One turned back a secret decree on the same day.

Receiving the secret decree King Xian was a great relief, this nephew emperor, who was two years younger than himself, was still a benevolent monarch.

Although there is not much grain in the Huangzhou grain depot, plus King Xian transferred a batch of grain from Feng County, to which his fief belongs, it should be able to alleviate the famine, and it is still very useful to stabilize the people's hearts.

Of course, the top priority now is to stop Xuan Pinghou's stupid behavior as soon as possible.

A spark can start a prairie fire, and a mishandling of people's feelings and hearts may cause irreparable disasters.

Although the border passes have been relatively calm in recent years, if the territory of the Great Domain itself is in turmoil, it is difficult to guarantee that foreign enemies will not take advantage of the fire to rob.

It's just that at this time, King Xian lacked skills, and the Huangzhou Mansion had no choice but to sit in the battle to appease the people, so Xuanping Hou had to let his personal guard captain Ming Leopard go to answer with a secret order and a few guards from King Xian's Mansion.

Ming Leopard said that he was going to pick up Xuan Pinghou, but in fact he got a secret order, and he was very good at very times, Ming Leopard could set up Xuanping Hou and assist the deputy general Sun Minghai to preside over the overall situation, all of which was mainly to calm the people's hearts and suppress the riots.

Ming Leopard immediately handed over the task of guarding the grain depot to his deputy, and he took a team of more than 20 people to meet Xuanping Hou's team while fighting, and finally joined Xuanping Hou before he made a big mistake again.

Xuanping Hou naturally would not obey Ming Leopard's instructions, in his eyes, Ming Leopard said that it was better to be the personal guard of King Xian, and to say it ugly, he was just a subordinate.

He refused to accept Ming Bao's instructions, and even ignored the warrant of King Xian that Ming Bao brought him, and insisted on continuing to suppress the so-called mob.

Ming Leopard had no choice but to use the last order of King Xian to directly overhead Xuanping Hou, and the deputy general Sun Haiming took over the military power, and divided the 2,000 soldiers and horses into three parts.

Some of the men and horses were led by Sun Haiming to relieve the disaster victims and suppress the real mob, and some of the men and horses were led by the guards of the Xian Wangfu to return to meet the food delivery convoy.

The remaining part of the people are not many in number, but they are all people who are more slippery and can speak, led by Ming Leopard himself.

These people focused on publicizing to the victims that the Holy Lord had sent 20,000 stone of relief grain to Huangzhou, so as to appease the people, and at the same time quickly advanced to Huangzhou City in order to protect the safety of King Xian and the Huangzhou grain depot.

When Wang Yicheng and others escorted the grain into Huangzhou, although the victims of Huangzhou could not get enough food for the winter, they became more and more peaceful because King Xian opened a warehouse in advance and released the grain.

At this time, Huangzhou, which is in the north, ushered in the first snow of this winter, which greatly alleviated the severe drought in the fields.

After the 500 Janissaries who escorted the grain and grass sent the relief grain to the grain depot on the outskirts of Huangzhou City and incorporated it into the warehouse, some of them stuck to the grain depot to protect the safety of the grain depot, and the other part was led by Xu Ruan to meet Sun Minghai and comb the entire Huangzhou despite the severe cold, which not only solved the scourge of the mob, but also prevented a single disaster victim from starving and freezing.

Wang Yicheng and Wang Yizong temporarily stayed in the Huangzhou Prefecture, waiting for King Xian and the officials of the counties under Huangzhou to agree on the time for re-release of grain, and at the same time began to estimate the amount of grain needed for relief in the whole state.

Most of the grain sent from Kyoto was used for disaster relief according to the original plan, and a small part was allocated as armament food and stored in the warehouse.

Before the grain from Kyoto arrived, King Xian had already opened a granary to release grain for emergency, and this part of the grain naturally had to be deducted from the disaster relief grain, so that after integration, there were still 13,000 stone of grain that could be used for disaster relief in Huangzhou.

Thirteen,000 stone of grain is said to be a lot less, but for the severely affected Huangzhou Prefecture, the food for disaster relief is not rich.

Fortunately, King Ken transferred grain from his fiefdom twice in a row, and with the grain escorted from Kyoto, although it could not guarantee that the victims would have enough to eat, they should be able to hold out until next year to harvest new grain, and no one would starve to death.

Of course, the premise is that these disaster relief grains can be distributed to the victims in full, and this responsibility naturally falls on Wang Yizong, a grain release official from the household department.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the day after the grain and grass are transported into Huangzhou, the snow begins to fall, and Huangzhou has entered the season of ice and snow.

Now that he had grain in his hands, King Xian was naturally unwilling to delay, so he quickly recruited all the magistrates of the subordinate counties of Huangzhou to come to Huangzhou City to collect relief grain.
