Chapter 861: Frightened a group of people

cpa300_4(); In the previous dynasty, it was popular that as soon as the weather was hot, the emperor would go to the palace to escape the heat.

The two hottest months of June and July will be the office in the palace.

After the state of Chu, the first two emperors were still diligent in political affairs and did not engage in such extravagant things that cost the people and money.

However, the emperor in the back went to the palace from time to time to escape the summer.

Therefore, this year, Chu Yu also ordered to go to the palace, but no one objected.

On the contrary, it is very welcome.

Even with many official eunuchs and noble families, they also dragged their families to their own villages to escape the summer.

Because, this year's weather is just too hot.

But this avoidance has been avoided until August, seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the emperor did not mention the matter of returning to Beijing.

The minister could not sit still.

Not to mention that the weather is starting to get cooler, everyone also wants to go back to the comfortable home in the capital, which is from Jiangnan, and one by one is more urgent than the one, which makes people's butts catch fire.

Who has the heart to escape the heat?

First of all, there was little rain and drought, and after the end of May, heavy rain began to pour down in the south of the Yangtze River and the two lakes, and it rained for two consecutive months.

The crops that were about to ripen in the large farmland were all soaked in the soup, and the rivers and lakes in the south of the Yangtze River were all flooded.

Under the flooding, there is not much to know about the towns of the fields that have been submerged.

And because of the disappearance of the pirates and the East China Sea Division, the undercurrent in Hangzhou surged, the Zuo family and Qi Tianao fought happily, and the real situation in Jiangnan did not begin to spread to the capital until mid-July.

Chu Yu's first reaction when he received the letter was to issue an order to remove Qi Tianao from his post, and asked Zuo Ming to immediately escort Qi Tianao into Beijing, and Zuo Daren, the governor of the two lakes, first served as the governor of Jiangnan and led the disaster relief affairs of the two places.

But Qi Tianao has been operating in Jiangnan for a long time, this Zuo Daren was temporarily ordered, and he couldn't even feel the wind in Jiangnan, and the land of the two lakes was also very strict about the disaster.

However, the imperial court and Chu Yu did not know the specific situation of Jiangnan (Chu Yu did not know if he knew it), and in early August, he still issued an order to Jiangnan to transport grain into Beijing and start collecting autumn taxes as usual.

Because Qi Tianao was arrested, the Jiangnan officials were also panicked, where did they dare to confront the order of the imperial court, knowing that the flood was severe, they did not dare to open a warehouse to release grain, but prepared to ship grain and meet the amount of grain first.

And, go to the countryside to collect taxes.

Those ordinary people in the south of the Yangtze River have lost their crops because of the floods, their homes have been destroyed, and the flood has not receded, and this fatal official has come to the door again.

That miserable situation is not a bleak thing to say.

In early August, Zuo Ming, who escorted Qi Tianao and his party, returned to Beijing, and quickly rushed to the palace to meet Chu Yu.

At the same time, the secret fold of the five princes was also sent directly.

Yes, he secretly investigated the situation in Jiangnan, and most places in Jiangnan did not harvest grain this year, that is, the old grain was used as grain, and the amount was not enough for one-third of the need.

Moreover, not to mention that the victims of the disaster in Jiangnan could not be helped, but were severely oppressed, and in some places there were already dead bodies everywhere, and the villages were empty.

In some places, public anger has accumulated under heavy pressure, and I am afraid that some bandits will take advantage of the situation.

After Wei Zhao got the letter, he also rushed to the palace behind Zuo Ming, and asked Wei Ge Lao to see Chu Yu together.

Urgently ordered Jiangnan to stop collecting autumn taxes and open warehouses to release grain.

At the same time, let Lord Yan, who was appointed as the governor of Lianghuai, cross the river and replace Lord Zuo in charge of disaster relief matters in Jiangnan.

A few days after Lord Yan crossed the river, he wrote a 10,000-word excerpt.

In the excerpt, the tragic situation in Jiangnan was described in detail, and occasionally Zuo and some Jiangnan officials were impeached.

In the end, he said that he had opened all the old grain to help the victims, so this year, Jiangnan not only has no autumn taxes, but also no grain.

Since Jiangnan began to recover, it has become the granary of the Chu State.

Every year, more than 6 million quintals of grain are transported to the north through the Guò Canal, which not only supplies the grain for the capital with a population of one million, but also serves as the main component of the military rations of the Beijing army and the border army.

Now that there is no more grain, the grain needed in the capital can be mobilized from nearby states and counties.

Military rations in the capital can also be collected from other places.

But it will be very difficult to collect military rations for Qinzhou, Ganzhou, Mobei.

This fold came up, whether it was the people left behind in the capital or the ****** who stayed in the palace, it exploded directly.

The ****** leaving the palace was even more noisy.

An Guogong first said that the Gyeonggi camp is the last force to defend the capital, and now that Jiangnan is unstable, the Gyeonggi camp cannot cause chaos, and the military rations of the Gyeonggi camp cannot be reduced.

Not only can it be missing, but at this moment, there must be some preferential care.

Ning Shangshu was settling accounts in front of Chu Yu.

This people are the sky, Jiangnan is already so miserable, not only can they not be forced to hand over the grain, but they also have to transport grain to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief.

To reassure the people.

This is a big deal, and if one is not done well, it is that the officials force the people to rebel.

And the money of the treasury, when it is done with these two things, is empty.

At the end, I also asked Chu Yu, or, the emperor, you will lend the money in the private treasury for use?

Chu Yu's face changed on the spot.

Said yes, first mobilize some grain from Jingdong Road, although the quantity will be small, but Ganzhou and Mobei have just won the battle, Rouran people should not be stupid enough to come to attack, Kaichun has already transported so much grain to the past, if you want to come hard, you can still survive.

As for military salaries, it is the same if they are paid half a year later.

Wei Ge Lao was so angry that he almost turned his face, but he couldn't find a better way.

Compared with the border army, which has not received food and salary for half a year, the situation in Jiangnan is obviously worse now.

Lord Yan's fold was only a few words, but the person who sent the letter told him about the situation in Jiangnan.

said yes, if Lord Yan didn't go quickly, he hurriedly blocked the boats that had arrived in Changzhou and opened the warehouse to release grain, but I was afraid that those boats would be robbed by the red-eyed victims.

Then Jiangnan will really be out of control, and there will be a change in the people.

And because of Qi Tianao's matter, Jiangnan officials are panicked, if they do something in the middle, Jiangnan will be reversed, and the Chu country will be uneasy.

If there is turmoil in Jiangnan, the border army will not be needed.

The only ones who can use it are the Gyeonggi battalion and the state soldiers of Lianghuai.

In such a situation, it is obvious that the border army is not so important.

He could only grit his teeth and swallow it.

I only hope that Wei Zhao can have a way to help the border army a little, so as not to make Qin Mohan and them too sad.

This has been arguing for a few days to come to such a result.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a day of ice and fire.

Ning Shangshu and An Guogong are so proud, Chu Yu doesn't know.

In short, Chu Yu's mood was very unhappy.

I was thinking that the matter was decided, so let's do it.

From Mobei came a thousand-mile urgent military report.

The Rouran people are entangled with 150,000 people, and the garrison outside Mobei City is about to attack in a big way!

Chu Yu was blinded......

Blinded......

Everyone is blinded!
