In the past, if the scope of disaster relief was not large, and there were more resolute disaster relief officials above, then the government could use some more drastic means and measures. Generally speaking, if you go directly to the big family's house to persuade and coerce, if anyone doesn't listen, kill a batch, and the price of grain will be curbed to some extent. And with such means and decisions, officials who are not afraid of reprisals after the fact are often regarded as cool officials and good officials.

At the beginning of this disaster relief, Qin Siyuan also made such a decision, wanting to save more people. But at that time, he also understood that the scale of this grain price increase, relying on this means, was actually a drop in the bucket, and not much could be done. And if the means are used, it is even more likely that before the disaster relief is completed, the prime minister will be liquidated. Because of this consideration, after weighing it for a long time, he decided to use Ning Yi's opinion.

But this does not mean that the strength of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion cannot be moved by anyone.

The big families who participated in the grain tuning this time, such as the Qi family, the Zuo family, and the Cai family, were basically able to fight with Qin Siyuan on the stage. On the table, it is impossible for Qin Siyuan to directly tear his face with these people, because no one dares to offend so many parties at the same time. But disaster relief and making money are things that belong to the operation under the table, even if you can't move these big gentry, there are always some small households, and the prime minister is qualified to cut everything.

Before the snow, Ning Yi and the others had been refraining from using this force, except for some who were about to incite civil unrest at that time, or directly to the officials, the rest of the people were just running and lobbying, letting them watch the matter quietly. Secretly, there was a dozen foreshadowings: "We are very resolute this time, you can see the Tao by looking at it." ”

Stay until the moment it snows. Everything was in motion, and the officials had already collected information on some of the small and medium-sized landlords who were stockpiling grain. Order, immediately break down the door, trial and conviction, for the part of the serious circumstances, the prime minister has obtained the emperor's approval, but do not wait for the autumn, directly sentenced to death. This head was killed for other small grain farmers.

In the capital, these methods of Qin Siyuan. Zhou Zhe's understanding was obtained. With arrests, jailing, and beheading. A batch of food that had been waiting rushed into the market, and the soup kitchen for disaster relief also reached its most generous level at the moment of snowfall. And the counterattack of the big investors has also begun.

Ambitious and large households quickly ate the grain that was put into the market. There are relationalities. Through officialdom or various channels, the input of rice grain was stopped. For the soup kitchen of the government. They began to try to create chaos, and in several places even the granaries were secretly set on fire. The conflict between the large grain farmers and foreign merchants became increasingly intense. The law and order in the disaster area dropped rapidly for a while.

Due to the heavy snowfall and the deterioration of public security. Some of the vendors from other places chose to leave. Some of the people who had already been stirred up their blood no longer lingered here after realizing the cold reality. Only a small number of young people have survived and have become more united. The passage of the grain road has become difficult, which means that the total amount of food in the disaster area will basically be only so much. However, the first drastic measures led to a psychological breakdown among some small households, who began to sell their grain, and this trend is growing.

These are all conventional confrontations that take place in the disaster area. And what is really dangerous and determines the overall situation is actually above the court.

The verbal attacks on the two prime ministers have become more and more intense at this time. Almost every day, there are many excerpts of the recital, they are not aimed at Li Gang and Qin Siyuan, but against the officials under the command of the two, especially the officials who are now in charge of disaster relief, and they are the most criticized. Emperor Zhou Zhe was annoyed, but basically he still supported the prime minister's disaster relief, as the emperor, he can probably see some of the current situation clearly, only some of the evidence of participation is conclusive, he will be ordered to strictly investigate and recall.

Li Gang and Qin Siyuan's side also participated in some of the lower officials in the same color, and some minor officials who hindered disaster relief were the most involved, and people fell almost every day, which can be regarded as a color. The emperor's side, while maintaining a tendentious cooperation, also complained to Li Gang and them: "Don't make too much trouble, lest you get burned one day, I have been annoyed by all aspects recently, and I can't stand it, not only in the court." ”

However, in December, the biggest loss ushered in by the Xiangfu family was Lin Chaoting, the capital transfer envoy of Jinghu South Road, who was a cadre under Qin Siyuan. He managed Jinghu South Road, and his investment in the maintenance of the trade road and disaster relief was originally the most powerful, but the only problem was that the surname of the largest family in Jinghu South Road was Han, and here it was ...... The Empress Dowager's maiden home.

When managing Jinghu South Road, Lin Xiting has tried to avoid head-on conflicts with the Han family, but all kinds of frictions are still inevitable. In November, the Han family had already gone to Beijing to find the Queen Mother to sue the imperial court, and they had compiled all kinds of arbitrary, domineering, and dereliction of duty charges on Jinghu South Road, prepared witnesses and evidence, and kept running. The participation of some officials became more and more intense, and in the end, the Queen Mother was also moved, feeling that her family was being greatly bullied over there. And Zhou Zhe's side also began to examine these things, and he was furious and ready to do Lin Tingting.

After making such a decision in the court, Lin Zhongtai, who had a good relationship with Lin Tingting, cried blood and cried Chen, and asked Zhou Zhe to take back his life. The most reluctant actually said: "If Lin Ting leaves his post at this time, the countless people affected by the disaster on Jinghu South Road will have no way to live......"

He was an official of Li Gang and Qin Siyuan, but he was also dizzy at this time. These words made Zhou Zhe furious, and he slapped the table and scolded: "Bastard, you should have no good officials in this world except Lin Chaoting!" You should be the only one who is a clean official, except for you, there is no good person under my subordinates who wants to save the people from fire and water!? I'm going to stop Lin Ting! You! You've also thought about me home—"

The subordinates lost two people at once, and Qin Siyuan was also powerless to return to the sky. Although it was snowing heavily at this time, it would not be so exaggerated to say that the mountains and roads were completely closed, and the court's will was quickly sent to Jingnan. Lin Trending was dismissed and asked to enter Beijing to be investigated, he was also anxious, scolded, and contracted a vicious disease on the way to Beijing, and the only thing that came after the worst came was bad news.

Lin Chaoting is only forty-nine years old this year, and as a member of the party, he is in good spirits. Energetic. Although it is said that his resignation at this time has given him a huge blow, and it is such a cold winter, there are many doubts about whether he is really sick to death. It's just that whether this matter is true or whether the Jing Nanhan family secretly covered the sky with one hand, it has been difficult to find out since then.

At this time, in the disaster relief, there were problems with some small components, and the Prime Minister's side was put together, and backup personnel could be organized, and big people like Lin Chaoting were damaged. It will directly lead to half the effort along the way. And something like this happens every day.

The white-haired Qin Siyuan dealt with various situations with strong mental power, and often discussed with Ning Yi and others to make decisions. Ning Yi has his own set of methods in shopping malls and people's hearts. At this time, the officialdom of the Wu Dynasty operated. But it's not very familiar. The proposed strategy was often said by Qin Siyuan to be too powerful. In the midst of this dog-tooth confrontation, food prices finally fell firmly. But no one knows what the final result of the Dao will be, and how many people who want to save will die. Because in the disaster area at this time, every day and every day, there have been a large number of deaths, either starvation or freezing to death. The places where the government and large households provide disaster relief are better, but there are always some people who live in remote mountainous areas, and after eating the price of food, they are either alone or their families die in remote mountain villages, silently.

Far away on Hedong Road, Shi Shi has been staying here for a month. In the early period, she traveled around, participated in disaster relief, soup kitchen, grain distribution, and grain sales, and also felt the enthusiasm and generosity in her heart. But now, the great tiredness and psychological pressure has come down, and sometimes she still wears a cloak and a headscarf to go out of the city to give porridge, but more often, she will look at the victims from afar and cry quietly.

The tears had been there for the first time, but they stopped after a while, and in these days, they began to come out again. In the first few days, she wept for the sake of these victims, but in the recent past, part of her crying has been for others and for herself.

Over the years, she has not seen tragedy, nor has she not seen death. However, when she really threw herself into wanting to do something, and there were many people around her who wanted to do something with the same enthusiasm, the frustration she finally ushered in was extremely strong. The words that Ning Yi said to her when he was in the capital gradually turned into reality after he arrived here.

"We're not trying to make big money out."

"We're just letting them earn a little less."

"If they are less greedy, there will be many people who will survive......"

But...... Every day, a lot of people die......

Food prices are indeed starting to fall. Sometimes she wanted to go back to the capital immediately to find Ning Yi and ask, "Did we succeed?" How many people died? Is it less than fifty thousand? But she knew that no matter whether this was the case or not, it was difficult for her heart to calm down, the government's food stock was constantly decreasing, and the soup soup was beginning to become thinner and thinner. I'm afraid some places will be more troublesome than they are.

She sometimes remembered that so many people had died, just to make those big families earn a little less. So many people have died, and each of their families is still making money. With so many people and such hard work, who have they defeated......

In the capital, Ning Yi also didn't know whether he could achieve the expected goal. In fact, after the heavy snow began to fall, the efficiency of the information transmitted from various places had begun to stagnate. Everything was pinned on the original plan, and the officials in various places had already arranged for the city, but as for the capital, they could only try their best to maintain the overall situation.

And with Lin Chaoting's death, this overall situation is not perfect.

The time is about to enter the second half of December, and Chinese New Year's Eve is still ten days away. Every household in the capital is decorated with lights, and places like the Ning family and the Xiangfu are no exception, even though the men of each family are trying to maintain the major event of disaster relief, among each family, the New Year still has to be passed. Ji Kun had already returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time, Yao Zunian went back to his home, and Monk Jueming was still running around. Ning Yi came to the Prime Minister's Mansion every day, summed up the numbers with everyone, and dealt with many other things that needed to be dealt with. After dinner that night, everyone did not go home, and they were still discussing some things related to disaster relief, about the fact that there was still a batch of grain in Huainan that could be diverted from Lu, and discussing the legitimacy of the process with a staff member.

Before the night was deep, there were lamps and candles in the study, and Qin Siyuan was talking to Ning Yi, Ji Kun, Wen Ren Fuji and others with his hands on his back, which could be used in the name of politics. He had a white beard, but his eyes were clear, his spirits were good, and he spoke with a lot of humor. During this period, Old Madam Qin came in to see him once, and also brought a set of refreshments to everyone. After she left, Qin Siyuan continued to tell the story, and a subordinate trotted in with a piece of information: "My lord." ”

Qin Siyuan took it and looked at it.

That information was only the size of half a piece of paper, Qin Siyuan read it again, frowned, and read it again. He stood there, looked to the side of the study, and blinked, but there was some confusion in his eyes. In a moment, he stretched out the note, Ji Kun and the others were about to reach out to pick it up, Qin Siyuan maintained the posture of stretching out his hand, sat down on the chair behind him, grabbed the back of the chair with one hand, and his muscles burst out. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but only said two words at the end: "Zhang Jue......"

Wen Ren rushed out of the room: "Someone! Call Dr. Xu! Fast! ”

Ji Kun rushed over, pinching Qin Siyuan's pulse with one hand, and trying to pinch Qin Siyuan's middle man with the other. Ning Yi went over and said, "Relax, relax, Qin Xiang, relax, everything is with us...... Relax, no matter what, it will be done, take a deep breath, come, follow me, exhale...... Suck ......"

While speaking, he took the piece of paper in Qin Siyuan's hand, looked at it again, and held the paper in his hand, but he suddenly clenched it, his lips moved, he didn't say anything, he only gritted his teeth and said, "Whew...... Suck ......"

Doctor Xu in the Prime Minister's Mansion almost rushed over, glanced at Qin Siyuan, and said, "You guys are going out." "Take out the silver needle and prick it. Ji Kun took two steps back, Ning Yi pulled him out of the door, handed him the note, Ji Kun looked at it, and Wen Ren had already come over.

No one spoke, because that would disturb the people in the room.

From October to November, outside the Yanmen Pass, Zhang Jue fought three battles with Yan Yanmu, the first two battles were defeated, but the third battle was a reversal of defeat and victory, repelling Yan Yanmu's army. After that, the Jin people were replaced by Wanyan Zongwang, the second son of Aguta, and led the army and defeated Zhang Jue outside Nanjing. Wanyan Zongwang was one of the strongest generals in the Jin army at this time, and Zhang Jue knew that he was invincible, so he led his army to retreat south into Yanjing. At this time, the guards of Yanjing were Guo Yaoshi of the Changsheng Army and Wang Anzhong of Xuanfu. Wanyan Zongwang led the army south, it was not easy to attack the city in winter, Guo Yaoshi fought to defend the city, but he didn't know that Wang Anzhong had received a secret order from the capital at this time.

Lieutenant Wang An hid Zhang Jue, and when Yan Zongwang asked for it, he only said that there was no such person. Wanyan Zongwang asked for more urgency, saying that if the Wu Dynasty did not hand over Zhang Jue, it would start a war with the Wu Dynasty. However, there are people in Jin who know Zhang Jue, and it can be seen that it is not Zhang Jue's head. Under repeated pressure, Wang Anzhong finally brought Zhang Jue out, counted Zhang Jue's crimes, and accused him of lightly initiating the border provocation between the Wu Dynasty and the Jin people, Zhang Jue scolded the Wu Dynasty for not tolerating people, Wang Anzhong then killed Zhang Jue and gave the head to Wanyan Zongwang.

Jin Ren finally retreated.

The lights to welcome the end of the year were hung high, and the city of Bianliang was still prosperous, only the night wind in winter was whining and getting colder, and the people in the courtyard walked to the side, silent and did not speak. Not long after, Ning Yi went outside the courtyard and threw a punch at a big tree, and with a bang, the tree shook and the bark cracked.

In this winter of the eleventh year of Jinghan of the Wu Dynasty, many people worked hard to accomplish something, and finally, many people worked hard to complete a perfect backstab to the country...... (To be continued......)
