Chapter 355: One task per person

The two adults were disappointed in everyone's reaction, but they were not afraid, because ah, now it's a death anyway, and if you don't say it, it's a death, so what's the worry?

They are still constantly informing the Queen Mother and informing the civil and military officials, but no one believes it except them.

Empress Dowager Xie couldn't bear it anymore, she said more than once that she was not allowed to wronged her colleagues, and it was Jia Rudao, this time she was angry.

"Jia Aiqing, if not, these two are wronging you anyway, otherwise, how to deal with it?"

Jia Rudao stepped forward and arched his hand, "Thank you Queen Mother, Weichen thinks that the situation in the Great Song Dynasty has not eased yet, and we can't continue to make chaos internally, and now we must unite."

"These two adults are splitting the imperial court, they want to get the position of prime minister, the queen mother, at this critical juncture, it is better to pull it out and cut it."

The latter is not afraid at all, he has already lived for a long time, so why worry? It's better to die earlier, so that you can still be out of sight and out of mind.

Empress Dowager Xie gave an order, and then the two adults were entrusted out and dragged to the outside of the Yellow Palace to be beheaded.

The scene exploded again, everyone was timid in their hearts, and there were fewer and fewer people who came to join the early dynasty of Jia.

They were worried that it would become an empty hall in the future.

Empress Dowager Xie glared angrily in all directions and began to threaten.

"The mourning family warns you once again that you are not allowed to say anything unfavorable to Prime Minister Jia and any adult in the future, otherwise the mourning family will not be able to spare you, you can do it yourself." No one dared to speak, I was extremely timid in my heart, I couldn't wait to stop being an official at this moment, and I was like a tiger, and now I have become a tiger.

Empress Dowager Xie continued: "This is the last chance for you to be given by the mourning family, okay, think about it for yourselves, the Southern Song Dynasty has reached this time, do you think the mourning family will still be used to any of you?"

"Prime Minister Jia, now the mourning family gives you a right, but if anyone dares to talk nonsense and affect your reputation, then... You can just slaughter it. ”

Jia Rudao took the order, and now he is even bolder.

An adult stepped forward to the prelude, "Back to the Queen Mother, in the end, there were floods in Fujian, and the people's grain production has been reduced, should we allocate relief grain?"

Flood? Empress Dowager Xie is really cold, the passing year is not good, why are there always so many situations?

"This lord asks you, how big is this flood? Are there any people killed or wounded? How much is the reduction in grain production?"

"Back to the Queen Mother, the grain has not yet reached the point where it can be harvested, but it is all destroyed, and in the autumn, there will definitely be no harvest."

"At the same time, thousands of houses have collapsed, and there have been casualties among the population, Queen Mother, should we allocate relief food and silver?"

Before the Empress Dowager Xie could speak, Jia Rudao opened her mouth at this moment: "Back to the Empress Dowager, from the perspective of Weichen, this grain and silver cannot be allocated, after all, you have to save enough to start a war with Kublai Khan."

At the same time, the silver can't be given, so Weichen doesn't believe it, if you don't harvest food for a year, these people can starve to death? What was their previous stockpile? Where's that?"

The adults looked ugly when they heard this, but the Empress Dowager Xie nodded one after another.

"Jia Aiqing, you continue, analyze and analyze the mourning family, and said, the mourning family also wants to know what the imperial court should do.

Jia Rudao replied and continued to speak, "Back to the Queen Mother, if these people don't have food in stock, is there really no silver at home?" Are they really that poor?"

The civil and military officials didn't dare to talk back, and now Jia Rudao said what the buckle was, in order to save his life, there was no way.

"These people: these people really don't understand the difficulties of the imperial court at all, they gave them all the grain and silver, how can they go to war with Kublai Khan?"

"Besides, the flood is a natural disaster, and it is not the work of the imperial court, can the imperial court still be held responsible to the end? There is no such statement.

Jia Rudao walked back and forth in the Xuande Palace, full of shelves, "Queen Mother, and all the adults, how can the population of Fujian have to be tens of millions, these tens of millions of people, the imperial court can't afford it at all." ”

"At the same time, what if this situation is opened and this situation occurs in other provinces in the future? Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?"

There is a big man: "Queen Mother, just now the old minister listened to Prime Minister Jia's words, it can be said that he has gained knowledge, yes, yes, the surplus grain of the court is kept to fight with Kublai Khan, if he allocates it, what should I do?"

"Yes, Queen Mother, Weichen also means this, besides, the flood comes and goes quickly, Weichen believes that it won't be long before it will completely recede."

"Also, these people have hands and feet, don't they know how to be self-reliant? Don't know how to escape the famine? Or begging along the way? As long as this period of time passes, it should be completely better. ”

Empress Dowager Xie felt very reasonable, she also thought so, the Great Song Dynasty couldn't get used to them, otherwise there would be floods in other places, wouldn't they have to take out food for disaster relief?

"This lord, the mourning family thinks that although Jia Aiqing is completely reasonable, we can't continue to spoil them, you tell the local official history, let the people find their own way, and ask them to learn to be self-reliant."

Someone doesn't do it,... Queen Mother, if this matter spreads, the local people may be dissatisfied, we can't continue to do this, Queen Mother, even if we can't provide disaster relief, shouldn't we gather the people together and supply food collectively?"

Jia Rudao was angry at the time, "This lord, don't you take the Queen Mother's words seriously?" Do you still have the Queen Mother in your eyes? Didn't I tell you about it? How many more times will you have to listen to it before you understand?"

The latter didn't dare to reply, so he honestly retreated, with some complaints in his heart.

Jia Rudao didn't say much, but the fire in his heart had not been suppressed. Another minister came up and beat him, "Back to the Queen Mother, the locust plague in Chang'an has been encountered, and all the food has been eaten up, and there is nothing left, the Queen Mother, are we waiting..."

Locusts again? Empress Dowager Xie really didn't want to say anything, her mind was really blank, and she didn't want to say anything.

The Southern Song Dynasty has already fallen ill to the bone marrow, not to mention man-made disasters, there are still natural disasters, how can this be managed?

Chang'an, Fujian these two places have nearly tens of millions of people, and they can't manage it at all, all the materials are shipped out, what should Lin'an do?

Empress Dowager Xie pinched her temples vigorously, "Jia Aiqing, the mourning family is uncomfortable now, or I ..... If you don't deal with it yourself, the mourning family is now more than willing to do it. ”

After that, she turned around and left with the little emperor, walking weakly, as if she was about to fall, which was sad to watch.

As soon as the Queen Mother left, it was now Jia Rudao who had the final say, he stood up on the steps and opened his mouth, "Ladies and gentlemen, you have heard it just now, the Queen Mother has already said it, and it is currently the official presiding." ”

Everyone has no opinion, Jia seems to say some things better than the Queen Mother.

"Your Excellency, about the locusts in Chang'an, what the official means is to let the people figure out their own way, the Great Song Dynasty can't control it anymore, if you really don't want to wait, then it's easy to do, how about each adult take out 10,000 taels of silver?"

Everyone didn't speak, and they didn't want to do it in their hearts, this is a matter for the court, why should they take care of it themselves?

Jia Rudao was still saying, "If an adult still has an opinion, you might as well pay attention, and the official can measure it?"

Everyone remained sunk, as if dumb, and did not say a word.

Jia Yidao glanced left and right at the audience, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have anything else to say?" If not, the official has something to say at this moment.

"I think you also know that the difference between my Great Song Dynasty and Kublai Khan's people is too far, if there is no fresh blood injection, I am afraid it will not last long, so this official has only one sentence now.

"That is, among the fifty people you and others, each of them will recruit 200,000 soldiers, and one cannot be less, and it can be regarded as the court buying it for you?"

"One tael of silver for each soldier, and two hundred thousand people are two hundred thousand taels of silver, what do you think?"

One person jumped out, a little dissatisfied, "Prime Minister Jia, you are embarrassing me, 200,000 people are too much, I can't be busy at all, and I can't do it."

"Not to mention the problem of whether there are enough people, the main reason is that now the common people don't buy it at all, they all hate the court and the Southern Song Dynasty, and it is very difficult for them to join the army."

With this person taking the lead, they soon expressed their opinions among the hundreds of civil and military officials, and they felt that this was also the case, not to mention 200,000 people, even 20,000 could not be done.

Jia seemed to be fierce, "If this matter is easy, why should this official look for you?" With a few hundred taels of silver a month, you really aren't ashamed at all?" Could it be that you all really eat dry rice for nothing? Now that the country is in danger, you are not willing to help at all?"

Everyone lowered their heads, feeling that what Jia Rudao said was reasonable.

"Okay, this official won't say anything more today, give you two months, take advantage of the chaos on Kublai Khan's side now, you wait to find people, and then my military camp will record it for you, and each adult must recruit 200,000 people.

"Okay, let's retreat today."

The officials left, walked out of the Hall of Elective Virtue, they were talking in whispers, saying everything.

Jia Rudao walked behind, very depressed, he knew that these things were impossible to do, impossible at all, or even completely impossible.

Walking out of the Xuande Palace, he immediately led people to the barracks, and now there are fewer and fewer people on the street, and he doesn't know why.

As soon as I arrived outside the barracks, I already heard the sound of training coming from inside, the voice was neat and powerful, giving people strength and coercion.

Vice General Miao ran over and told him bad news, "Jia Ye is not good, when I waited for the soldiers to go out on patrol today, I found that there were already many tunnels outside the city wall, which were obviously excavated by these ordinary people." ”

Tunnel? Jia Rudao had already sensed something, he knew that it was these people who deliberately dug out, they wanted to escape, and they were forced to make this decision in desperation. This is also a last resort, and I have to do it myself, but if everyone runs away, then Lin'an will not become an empty city?

"Vice General Miao, Jia Ye gave you an order, you take people, and immediately give these tunnels to Jia Ye and I will completely block them, okay? The people can't be allowed to leave, otherwise Lin'an will be finished.

Vice General Miao sighed and didn't dare to disobey, "Master Jia, there are too many of these tunnels, and there are at least hundreds of them around the entire city, so it is a little difficult to operate."

"Don't say hundreds, it's thousands, I'll have to completely block them, otherwise people won't run away?"

"Deputy General Miao, you immediately take people to completely block them, make them tight, and leave no one behind, and at the same time, from now on, you must take people to patrol every day, and once you find someone finished digging, you will be arrested immediately."

"It's Jia Ye." He ran out.

Jia Rudao was angry, and he was very dissatisfied in his heart.

He should have thought of this a long time ago, but he was too stupid to notice, but hopefully it was too late.

Outside the barracks, the shouting and killing of the soldiers had stopped, and it was Vice General Miao who went out with people.

He walked into the barracks, very angry in his heart, what was wrong? Why is this the case? The tunnel is still being excavated, and if it is not dug out more than two thousand meters, Jia Rudao is unwilling.

Four months have passed in eight months, and now that the weather is starting to get hot, no one knows what will happen next.

After coming to the military master and eating for a while, Jia Rudao simply walked on the street, now he doesn't know what to do, the soldiers can't be recruited, the food supply is insufficient, and there are no disasters in Chang'an and Fujian, which makes people feel extremely stressed.

On the streets, the imperial court lords were recruiting soldiers, and Jia Rudao gave them a number of people, 200,000 people each, which was an almost impossible task.

Now the common people have long disbelieved in the imperial court, do not believe in the country, and they would rather be occupied by Kublai Khan than make a little effort.

At this moment in Suzhou City, Kublai Khan is still making a fuss, his anger is infinite, he can't bear it, and more than 100,000 people are slaughtered, which is really a bad thing.

Isn't this cruelty to the Southern Song Dynasty? Why... Is this God's will?

His subordinates came over, a little angry in his heart, with anger and a body, and now except for Kublai Khan, he sees that everyone is on fire.

"Great Khan, according to your orders, these three million people have rushed back to the country, and we don't need to be too hasty, the situation at this moment is extremely impatient."

Kublai Khan didn't know how to answer, in short, he was still a little overwhelmed and very flustered.

"Ah, it's almost impossible for me not to worry about this, and now I suspect that these people may enter the territory and kill people wantonly, I am really very anxious.

"The land in the country of Dayuan is fertile, and the territory is very large, so we wait.... We are really very difficult to deal with, and this Jin people who don't know when to attack, things are a little difficult to handle.

"However, my ancestor Genghis Khan destroyed their country, and it is natural that they will retaliate now, but why didn't they attack the Southern Song Dynasty?"

Kublai Khan couldn't figure this out, after all, the Southern Song Dynasty also participated in that year, and it was cooperation between the two countries.

Ah said: "Great Khan, in my opinion, maybe our front is too long, and we can't make us a big fat man in one breath, if we destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, we will end up with many, many threats."
