Chapter 266: Countermeasures
How could Lu Guo not be in a hurry, he wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and Liu Jiuxiao said: "My lord, I don't know what's going on, rumors are coming from the Fang City today, and there is no food in the official warehouse. \, Qb(5), com\\ made the people panic, rushed to buy, and almost fought
Listening to Liu Renzhi's narration, Chu Qian's forehead couldn't help frowning, when Jin Gan came early, because he predicted the people's storage of grain in advance, so the price of grain in the city did not rise, but with the continuous gathering of displaced people, Jincheng naturally suffered some influence, Jin fortunately properly resettled the displaced people, and stabilized the prices, which is not a big miracle, but he didn't expect a good situation, but a few gossips ruined.
"What should I do now?" Looking at Chu Zhen with a blank face, Bei Renzhi had a sad face on the surface, but he breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't afford to take responsibility for such a big matter, so he should leave it to the adults to deal with.
You ask me Jin I asked who Jin Chuzhi s forehead frowned even more Jin After all, the incident suddenly hit me and I felt a little caught off guard and had no experience to learn from. There are some thoughts in my heart, but I don't know if the method is feasible, so I naturally don't dare to give orders. I was about to ask my subordinate scribes, is there a precedent for this kind of thing to refer to, Shi Jin a government official rushed to take a breath, Jin intermittently gasped and said: "Taishou, there is an order, Qian" Tangzhi County" State Ya
The breath is unsteady, and the words are slurping and spitting are not clear. But it's barely what it means. Hearing that it was Fan Zhongyan who summoned Jin Chuzhen, he naturally didn't dare to delay, and he originally wanted to go back to the Ya to change his official uniform. But after thinking about it, he felt that he didn't need to waste this time, and ordered Liu Renzhi to continue to preside over the affairs of the yamen, and Hong Kong got into the carriage directly, and Jin took a few officials and hurriedly went in the direction of the state ya.
The sound of hooves roars down the wide streets. Gently lifting the curtain, he looked out and found that the shops on both sides of the street today were indeed much more lively than usual, especially the shops selling food, and the business was even more prosperous.
Looking at the people with money and silver in their right hands, and the people with bags in their left hands are in their own shops, you squeeze me and push, the proprietor of the shop is naturally happy, and his face is full of gold, and he almost didn't take his chin off with a smile, but in fact, they are not comfortable, at least the hands that count the money are so tired that they are about to cramp, but no one will feel hard and hateful, and they can't encounter this kind of good thing every day.
Seeing the people rushing to buy rice and grain in groups, Chu Zhen couldn't help but lock his eyebrows, shook his head again and again, fortunately, Hangzhou is the land of fish and rice, and the land is fertile, even if this year's drought has affected the harvest, but there is no new grain gold in the wind and rain, but there is no shortage of Chen Mijin, and there are not a few rice shops in Hangzhou, otherwise there will definitely be accidents because of the scramble.
It's no wonder that the people are so anxious, it's almost mid-July and autumn, and gold is according to common sense. The weather should gradually get cooler, and occasionally it will rain a little bit to be considered normal, but now it is still a scorching sun, clear sky, and unbearable heat, not to mention the rain, and even the clouds are not too much.
There is no rain irrigation, and the harvest is gradually harvested, and there is certainly no need to expect the boom, although the family has some reserve grain gold, but even if the rice and grain at home are enough to survive the winter, but seeing others rushing to buy it, coupled with some rumors, gold is always difficult to keep sanity in the face of famine, and it is gradually and naturally caused
Panic
The carriage followed the bustling flow of people. Soon came to the state, Yajin heard the call of the ya, and only then did he come back to his senses and get out of the carriage. Walked directly into the yamen, under the leadership of the yamen, Jin walked quickly to the hall, Jin immediately found that there were already a few officials sitting here, Jin saw Chu Zhen coming, and just nodded slightly, and Jin didn't say anything, with a sad and contemplative look
Chu Zhen bowed his hand and bowed, but looked around the hall but didn't see Fan Zhongyanjin, so he found a position and sat down. After waiting for a while, Jin saw some officials hurriedly walking in, not only the chief officials and subordinate officials of the two passing roads, but also the officials of the state government and Cao, and the scribes of the official warehouse of the state government, Jin Lian, and the scribes of the official warehouse also came.
The people almost came, and the bombardment didn't let them wait any longer, and the official at the door of the hall had already called: Fan Taishou, arrive. Before the words fell, Fan Zhongyan, who was dressed in regular clothes, walked in lightly. Stretching out his hand and stroking it, everyone didn't have to give more money, and sat down. There was no nonsense, Jin said directly: "The purpose of inviting each of you to come, I think you already know it." ”
Except for a few officials whose expressions were a little surprised, most of the officials in Jin responded lightly, boom, Fan Zhongyan nodded slightly, and Jin continued: "In this case, what countermeasures are there, Jin might as well say it bluntly. ”
The way to become an official is to listen more and talk less, although he has only been an official for a few days, he has inevitably become infected with this vice, and he has no experience in dealing with this kind of thing, and he does not dare to speak, Jin, like most officials, naturally retracts his golden head and gradually looks down, with a look of deafness.
After being silent, Fan Zhongyan, who saw that the officials under him didn't speak, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said lightly: "Gu Tong, what do you think about this matter?" ”
"Fan Gongjin believes that this matter should not be taken lightly." After saying a word of nonsense, Gu Tong said solemnly: "According to the lower officials, Jin, who was still calm in the city last night, was full of rumors on the streets and alleys overnight, and he must be secretly spreading rumors and adding fuel to the fire." ”
"That's what Master Shuo said." Seeing that Fan Zhongyan stroked his beard and nodded, when Gu Tong's sentence paused, an official continued: Anyone who spreads rumors is clearly a ghost with a ghost in his heart, and Jin is uneasy and well-intentioned to incite the people to make trouble, and he should be arrested and brought back to Ya Bang and severely punished. ”
Anyway, these words followed the meaning of Gu Tong's judgment, and then bombarded himself with no responsibility, and naturally received the support of many officials, and Jin echoed in a loud voice: "Reasonable." ”
After a few words of condemnation, another official said: "Fan Gongjin's subordinates think that Jin is the plan of the day, and he should first refute the rumors and let the people sober up." Stop grabbing food
It is even more than a few hours of gold, and the price of gold, rice, and grain has risen by more than a dozen yuan. If we don't stop it, I'm afraid the people will suffer greatly. "Some officials have made a lot of contributions. The words are different, but the meaning is similar. It was suggested that Fan Zhongyan should come forward as soon as possible or order the official Zhang Bang to post a notice to calm down the people and stabilize prices.
After disturbing their eyes for a while, seeing that Fan Zhongyan was silent, those officials slowly calmed down, and then realized what Jin respectfully asked Taishou to make the final decision.
Fan Zhongyan shook his head slightly, smiled lightly, and said, "How can you be sure of what to decide." Are the rumors in the city true? ”
Listening to its meaning, it was true that there was no food in the official warehouse, and for a while, the eyes of the Jin officials looked at the few scribes who managed the warehouse.
At Fan Zhongyan's suggestion, a scribe stood up and said softly: "Your Excellency, there really isn't much food in the treasury, and all the bits and pieces of gold that hit the various granaries, rice, grain, and gas add up to nine thousand, and a few hundred old Jinjiang stones are not enough
The officials were silent suddenly, and there were nearly 300,000 fixed residents and floating population in Jinhang, and there were nearly 10,000 displaced people outside Jincheng who relied on the government to help them. At the moment of rushing to buy food, if the people know about this situation, I am afraid that they will panic even more.
"That's not right. He blinked. Zhou Yahu Cao joined the army and said: "I remember some time ago. Isn't there still more than 100,000 stone rice grains in the warehouse? It's only been a few days, why has Jin disappeared? ”
Everyone knows that Hu Cao joined the army and was in charge of the state's money, grain, land, and taxes, so his words naturally could not help but Jiang. The officials fell on the warehouse clerk's gaze full of suspicion, if it weren't for the fact that the scribe didn't have the guts, money, and ability, and gradually embezzled so much grain quietly, Ni would definitely have an official who stood up and loudly criticized Tong
"Some time ago, I was shipped to Beijing. Boom, Fan Zhongyan said softly.
"Hangzhou drought Jin Fan Gong has not already played the imperial court to ask for the exemption of part of the grain tax to retain the disaster relief, and the countervailing bombardment does not need the imperial court to transport additional grain from Bianliang. An official wondered.
"The excerpt is handed over, but the court decree has not come down, if Ni does not have the money again, and misses the time of the handover stipulated by the Ministry of Households, the court will be held accountable. Bombardment Gu Tong said slowly: "We can't afford to gradually or this batch of grain, the imperial court has another urgent need." ”
"Urgent? Bang Jin, a somewhat anxious official, said: "What is more urgent than disaster relief, there is no food, I am afraid that Hangzhou City will be in chaos, and the officials present also know that this is not alarmist, and everyone understands the truth that the people regard food as their heavenly gold, and there is no food and people's hearts are unstable."
After Fan Gong was in an uproar, the officials whispered one after another, Bang realized that the matter was more serious than imagined, Bang officials couldn't help but feel a little anxious, Bang, after all, the place is unstable, the court must first investigate the responsibility of local officials, Bang may put on a black gauze hat, not to protect the money, maybe he will be convicted and demoted, Bang, no one wants to end up like this.
Relatively speaking, Fan Zhongmu was obviously very calm, and his face gradually did not change at all. Pressing his hands to signal the officials to calm down, he said lightly: "Tian Ti raised the gold, but I don't know how much grain is still in the Taiping? Boom
Promotion, refers to the promotion of Changping Si Bang Road level institutions Jinzhang Chang Ping, exempt from service, the city to Fangchang, river crossing, water conservancy and other matters according to the harvest of apologies and mulberry food and grain according to the amount of property and levy exemption money, according to the severity of the service and give to the officials. Purchase unsalable commodities and sell them again to level the price. It has functions like modern supply and marketing cooperatives, and also bears the burden of supervising local officials, and is also in charge of famine relief and relief matters.
I almost forgot, in addition to the state and county officials, there is no granary, there is also a warehouse in the city, and many officials reacted, and many officials breathed a sigh of relief, after all, as the largest granary in the two roads, gold stored grain must be
。
Although the officials at the road level have the right to manage the political gold of the road, because the governor of the state government in the Song Dynasty is often a court official of the second rank or above, and the official of the state is appointed as the gold, and the rank of the governor of the state has five grades of gold, so the official position at the road level is lower than that of the governor Ni, and even if there is no official position gold, with the word Fan Zhongyan, Tian Tiju does not dare to slack off. Hurriedly said respectfully: "There are about 50,000 stones of grain. it
"60,000 Shi Jin, if you are frugal, you can also support a golden eye, and the disaster relief grain of the imperial court should also be transported at that time. After thinking about it, many officials felt a lot more relaxed.
"Everyone, Jin Mo must forget how the rise in grain prices in Jincheng can be curbed by the 50,000 stone grain gold. The heart that has been hung up has not yet been put down. There was an official who poured cold water. After all, it is a fact that there is a shortage of grain in the city, and grain prices will naturally rise and more grain will be sold, but the grain in the official office is not abundant enough.
If you don't solve the problem quickly, sooner or later, there will be a problem, and I am afraid that the disaster relief grain from the imperial court will be transported to Hangzhou City.
After pointing out the disadvantages of rising prices. What about that. The official said with great certainty: "The most important thing now is to calm the rising prices and stabilize the people's hearts, I don't know if you think so."
Nonsense, who doesn't know that Jin himself is not a god and can conjure food out of thin air gradually some officials secretly resented in their hearts and became silent.
At this moment, a government official hurriedly rushed in, and the officials in the Jin Dynasty Hall saluted respectfully and said: "Taishou, the grain in the rice shop under the jurisdiction of the official government has been exhausted, and the people are in an uproar, and the shopkeeper in the store asks for grain."
The officials in the hall couldn't help but be in an uproar when they heard this. You must know that there are at least more than 1,000 stones of grain in the rice shop. On weekdays, it only sells a hundred stone bombs a day, and now the treasury has been empty in a few hours, which shows the popularity of the people buying grain, and the boom can actually be imagined. Without Fan Zhongyan's instructions, the rice shops under the jurisdiction of the government naturally did not raise prices like other shops. In comparison, of course, the people of Jin will choose to buy rice there, and the grain will definitely run out soon.
"Got it. Boom Fan Zhongyan said, Boom waved his hand, and Ni asked the official to go down first.
Without waiting for Fan Zhongyan to ask, an official hurriedly stood up and said, "It's too fast to keep Jin Zhao at this speed." No amount of rice or grain is enough for the people to buy it. The lower officials felt that they would not allocate food for the time being
As soon as this statement came out, some officials immediately praised Jin, but naturally some people objected: "The lower officials think it is inappropriate." If there is no grain to sell in the rice shops under the jurisdiction of the government, does this not prove that the rumors in the city are true, and the people are ignorant, and they are frightened that Jin does not know what to do
"Not only that, the gold official is under the jurisdiction of the rice shop, which is originally set up to stabilize prices, if the allocation of grain is stopped, other rice and grain stores are afraid that they will raise the price of rice without restraint, and it is the people who will suffer when it hits. Among the officials, there are also good officials who love the people like children, and Ni is not thinking about his own official position, but about the people.
"Don't forget a few adults. The grain in the warehouse in the city is only tens of thousands of stones, and before the disaster relief grain arrives in the imperial court, Jin can not be used at will
"When do you think it's appropriate to use it?"
"Nature is the most, when needed
The people were panicked, and the Jin government did not allocate food. is even more confirmed, and the rumors and rumors are no longer soothed. Isn't it the time when it's most needed? Kim
The gang officials were talking about the sword, and no one could convince the other party, so they simply stopped arguing, and Jin arched his hand towards Fan Zhongyan with a very tacit understanding and said: "Please Taishou (Fan Gong) decide." it
Deciding not to put so much pressure on himself, Kim's goal this month is to strive for continuous change. (To be continued)
