Chapter 316: Sun Wu often accompanies the four seas
After hearing this, the Empress Dowager asked Miss Qi what was going on, and Miss Qi said that Wuliang Mansion used to be the granary of the world, and since the Chen Dynasty, the grain used in the capital has been operated from Wuliang Mansion.
When this land is exhausted, the land of Wuliang Mansion has been raised in the Central Plains for more than a thousand years, and she has long been tired, Miss Qi has asked the local farmers, and the land harvest is not as good as a year, but the taxes have not been reduced at all.
In the past, the people of Wuliang Mansion could survive the famine year by storing grain, but now, the people of Wuliang Mansion are still short of food for a year.
The people have no grain in stock, but Wuliang has few disasters, and the granary of the government is moldy.
Miss Qi is only afraid that Wuliang will really suffer from drought or flood at that time, and she is afraid that there will be a civil uprising.
The Empress Dowager told Miss Qi that so much food could naturally save the victims.
Miss Qi said that the granaries of each province were originally used for local disaster relief, but Wuliang Mansion was an exception, and they needed to provide for the capital, so the local people did not dare to distribute grain easily.
If there is a shortage of food in the capital at that time, and Wuliang Mansion cannot send food, the prefect's black gauze hat will definitely not be able to keep it, how can there be a famine at the feet of the Son of Heaven?
Therefore, the prefect never dared to release grain for disaster relief, and most of the people who were transferred from all over the world had to be sent to the capital in the end.
The Empress Dowager thought for a while and said to Miss Qi: "The granary of the world has long since moved from Wuliang Mansion to Hezuo Sifu, but the Son of Heaven still hasn't changed, firstly, because of the convenience of Beijing-Huai Caoyun, and secondly, the ancestral system is like this. ”
Miss Qi nodded, and said that in fact, grain can be transferred from the four prefectures of Hezuo, and then she can take the coastal waterway, and when the time comes, she can also enter Jinghuai from the sea and transport the grain.
Although the cost along the way is a lot more, it is better than letting Wuliang Mansion bear it alone.
When the Empress Dowager said this, she was afraid that the prefects of the four prefectures in Hezuo would not agree, because if they were to transfer it like this, they would need to spend more.
Miss Qi said that she also suggested this, and as for how to do this, it still needs to be discussed by the courtiers.
However, the fact that the White Lotus Sect was able to start an incident in Wuliang Mansion was enough to see the difficulties of the people's livelihood in Wuliang Mansion.
The Empress Dowager said that if this matter is not resolved, there will definitely be changes in the future.
Miss Qi also inquired about the extermination of King Zuo Xian in the north, she heard about this matter yesterday, and she didn't know the details yet.
The Empress Dowager asked Lin Bingmei to introduce her, but Lin Bingmei didn't know, but she knew that her brother had pacified the war.
Miss Qi thought for a while and said to the Empress Dowager: "Empress Dowager, the concubine wants to go to Yunge Mansion." ”
"It was the bitter cold time there, and how many old people had never experienced such a cold winter."
"I want to assist His Highness to handle this matter thoroughly, since ancient times, I have calmed the chaos with strength, and resolved the people's difficulties with virtue. Now that General Lin and His Royal Highness have quelled the rebellion, there may not be resentment in the hearts of Di people, and how to resolve resentment is the purpose of the concubine's visit to Yunge Mansion this time. ”
The Empress Dowager asked Miss Qi what she had to do, and Miss Qi said with a smile: "This is nothing more than the soldiers coming to block the water and cover the earth, the Empress Dowager, the concubines have not yet arrived at Yunge Mansion, how do you know what they resent." ”
"Bingmei, you take Shu Yao to meet the saint."
Lin Bingmei nodded, and went to meet the saint with Miss Qi, the saint saw them come back, there were some surprises, Lin Bingmei told the matter, and after the saint listened to it, he took out Lin Duowen's recital and let them see it.
Lin Bingmei naturally asked Miss Qi to watch it first, and after Miss Qi saw it, she said to the sage: "Sage, the concubine knows what to do." ”
The sage smiled and asked Miss Qi what her plan was, and Miss Qi said that the first point was to investigate Zuo Xianwang's accomplices.
"Shu Yao, Shu Yao, didn't you just say that you want to moralize people?"
"Yes, but saints, get rid of evil. What if our side is convincing people with virtue, and they are fanning the flames there? And if they find out, there is no need to kill them. If they have repented, then we can let go, if it is only a small evil, then it should be punished according to the law of great evil, if it is a great evil, then naturally we cannot let it go. ”
The sage nodded and said that this made sense, so what was Miss Qi going to do next.
Miss Qi said that the next thing is to bury the female single Yu, whether the female single Yu is anti-against or not, but in the hearts of Di people, this female single Yu is a wise single Yu.
In the end, it was to use the military salaries left over and the goods obtained by confiscating King Zuo Xian to relieve the poor. Miss Qi said that in this severe cold now, the Di people must have suffered a lot of losses, and as the people of the Yu Dynasty, they naturally have to rescue the disaster.
The sage said that the last step was not in a hurry, and he was ready to let the Di people take the initiative to move to the vicinity of the imperial capital.
Miss Qi said that she knew, she would make proper arrangements, Miss Qi asked the sage when he was going to send troops, and the sage said that after the weather warmed up, he would go west, or maybe Kuiguang would go back in the ninth year.
Miss Qi said that one year was enough, and Miss Qi promised like a saint that she would go this time to ensure that there would be no more rebellion within a few days.
The sage nodded and told Miss Qi that she had become the right and left hand of the Great Prince, assisting the Great Prince in handling the affairs of the Yunge Mansion.
When she heard this order, Miss Qi blushed and thanked the saint.
The saint asked them if they were anything else, but they did not dare to disturb them, so they took their leave.
Walking on the road, Miss Qi asked Lin Bingmei if she would go to Yunge Mansion with her.
After Lin Bingmei thanked her, Miss Qi said with some pity: "Actually, my sister has heard of your name for a long time, and I often want to see it, but I didn't expect to be lucky today." ”
Lin Bingmei said that she didn't dare, the two chatted and got on the sedan chair, and Miss Qi also went to the Lin Mansion.
When they arrived at the Qiyi Building, after Lin Bingmei and Miss Qi saluted each other and sat down, the two sides continued to talk.
"Sister Lin, I don't hide it, it's not that I'm greedy for the position of Concubine Ping, but that I have traveled in the past two years and seen the world in danger, although my sister has no talent, but I am willing to lift a three-foot sword and fight for Hai Boping."
Although Lin Bingmei noticed that Miss Qi was a straight person, she didn't expect that Miss Qi would open the door to Jianshan like this and say this.
Lin Bingmei said that Miss Qi has this talent and this mind, which is enough to make herself admire. But now that the world is peaceful and prosperous, there is nothing to do in all directions, how can there be a crisis?
Miss Qi said that first of all, Xungui, how many Xungui do not learn and have no skills, they drink and hunt, they can't do business, and they go off the road very easily.
The pillars of the dynasty are the big and small nobles, if these nobles can't bear the country, then the country is not in danger.
And after these nobles committed crimes, the officials did not dare to do anything to them, and the people could swallow their anger, now is not the time to dare to be angry and dare not speak, if it is really at that time, the people are in turmoil, what can the court do.
Miss Qi said that it is better to say that there is nothing to do now than a prosperous age. This is the blessing of today's saints, there is no catastrophe, if there is really any catastrophe, such as a three-year drought, which affects several provinces, then there is really a worry.
Lin Bingmei listened quietly, she didn't know about these things.
If other people heard Miss Qi say this, they would only think that Miss Qi was worried, but Lin Bingmei believed Miss Qi, since Miss Qi said so, it seems that the problem is indeed so serious.
Lin Bingmei asked Miss Qi what she was going to do if these things really happened. Miss Qi told Lin Bingmei that she could only lead the troops to the battle, and she would defeat the enemy's main force, and then she would use virtue to transform it.
Lin Bingmei said why not use virtue to influence first, but to fight first.
Miss Qi said that at that time, if the imperial court recruited An, it might not be able to succeed, and after calculating Zhaoan, those who had antipathy in their hearts would continue to rebel, so they would first annihilate the main force, dispose of the enemy leader, and then slowly settle those who had no choice.
Lin Bingmei said that she didn't understand this, but she felt that Miss Qi's approach was not so good.
Miss Qi said that this is the best way she can think of now, and if she can think of any other better way in the future, she will use other methods.
Lin Bingmei nodded, hoping that Miss Qi could think of the best of both worlds in the future, Lin Bingmei also told Miss Qi that her second brother is not familiar with military affairs, and he can have this success, but it is just the blessing of the ancestors and the luck of inviting the heavens.
After listening to this, Miss Qi looked at Lin Bingmei and said to Lin Bingmei: "It's really strange, everyone else is begging their relatives to be reused, but Sister Lin persuaded me like this, which really made my sister not understand." ”
Lin Bingmei said that this is because she knows Lin Duowen's ability, Lin Duowen is now retreating bravely, and he can still retain his reputation, if it is really as Miss Qi said, the people are in turmoil, and then Lin Duowen will be unfavorable to the thief, and privately, it will damage Lin Quan's reputation. For the public, let the court lose its soldiers. Whether public or private, it's not a good thing.
After listening to this, Miss Qi said to Lin Bingmei: "But now that Brother Ling is already a military general of the imperial court, if he doesn't use it at that time, wouldn't it be a shame." ”
Lin Bingmei said that she would persuade Lin Duowen to go back to become a hermit in the academy.
"Sister Lin, I'm just worried, you are a younger sister, how can you persuade your brother, and now that Brother Ling has a group of generals, even if Brother Ling wants to be a hermit, can his subordinates agree?"
Lin Bingmei said that no matter what, she can only try, if she succeeds, it will naturally be a good thing, if she doesn't succeed, then she can only resign herself to fate.
After Lin Bingmei finished speaking, Miss Qi thought for a while and said, "Sister, if I really have to do it in the future, I will also take Brother Ling to go on the expedition together, and I will not let him take on the big responsibility." ”
"Thank you sister, I hope my sister can calm the Quartet for the country and consolidate this eternal foundation in the future."
"Thank you, sister, Jiyan, I hope that in the future, I can really keep the country." Miss Qi has some lack of confidence, although she is familiar with the military book, but this battle is not according to the instructions of the military book.
