Liu Che sat on the floor, grinned, and said, "It seems that your Aiqing's opinions are very unanimous." However, have you thought about it, how to solve the disaster caused by opening a position? ”

His pupils constricted, his brows furrowed, and he scolded coldly.

"There are indeed many benefits of putting grain, and I haven't thought about putting grain in the last month! However, now I only ask, if the Huns make a big attack at this time, how should they resist? ”

"If all the remaining grain and grass of the two armies in the north and south are requisitioned, then how will the vassal states respond if they take the opportunity to counterattack?"

"Is it possible, do you want me to bind Nanguan with you?"

Seeing that Liu Che had been angry several times, Wei Qing finally came out of the ranks.

He clenched his fists and arched his hands, and said, "Your Majesty, the humble minister has a performance."

"Wei Qing, say!" Liu Che squinted his eyes and pricked up his ears.

He wanted to hear what this brother-in-law wanted to say.

If you still plead in the same way, then you can cut Bai Mingzhe directly!

An embroidered royal history has made the court chaotic, what kind of system has it become?

Wei Qingyi said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the humble minister thinks that before Bai Mingzhe does something, it is impossible not to consider this kind of thing. Maybe he already has a solution. It's better to let him go to the temple and make a strategy. ”

"If his words and deeds can save the situation, then wouldn't this release kill two birds with one stone?"

"First, to stabilize the hearts of the Han people, and secondly, to survive the plague of borers."

"Well, you have a point." Liu Che nodded approvingly and asked the civil and military officials, "What do you Aiqing think?" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"The ministers seconded it!"

slapped the wooden collapse hard,

"Bang!"

"Good! Come on, spread Bai Mingzhe to the temple! I'm going to ask him! ”

"No!"

…………

After the small half of the incense, Bai Mingzhe was shackled on his wrist and was taken to the Chengming Palace.

Walking into the main hall, he knelt on the ground and bowed with the salute of the chief.

"Sinner Bai Mingzhe, please meet Your Majesty."

Liu Che was furious and roared: "Raise your head, let me take a good look at your appearance!"

"Originally, I thought that after you succeeded in controlling the river, you should wait for the edict in Chang'an, waiting for my summons! I never thought that in the end, I would be tried in the Chengming Hall as a criminal minister! I'm disappointed! You are ashamed to be Wu Anjun! ”

Bai Mingzhe slowly raised his head and smiled slightly.

Although down, the wind and bones still exist.

"Your Majesty, St. Ann."

Liu Che snorted coldly: "I've been uneasy lately!"

"So are the criminals."

"That's it! I don't have time to talk to you! I ask you, have you considered the consequences of opening a warehouse and releasing grain? ”

Bai Mingzhe said with a straight face: "Naturally! All kinds of consequences have been considered. Although there are many drawbacks, for the sake of the people, the criminal ministers have to do it. ”

Liu Che was furious: "For the sake of the people of Limin? Why don't you help me think about it? Do you know how passive Chang'an is after the grain is released? I gave you the position of the imperial history of embroidered clothes, not for you to make your own decisions! ”

Bai Mingzhe bowed his head, touched the ground with his head, and said, "Your Majesty is angry." The reason why the minister did this was really helpless. ”

"Your Majesty may not know that in Pingyin County alone, the people will harvest less than half of last year's harvest this year, and after paying taxes, they will not be able to support the coming winter."

Under this circumstance, the magistrate of Pingyin County has secretly united dozens of counties in an attempt to open warehouses and release grain. If the minister does not go, the matter of releasing grain will continue as usual, but it is just a matter of how much grain to put out. ”

"The minister once heard that if a person is extremely hungry, he will lose his humanity and will be cannibalistic. It is even possible to eat the corpses of the dead. ”

Bai Mingzhe kowtowed again: "If you don't put grain again, if you continue like this, I'm afraid that the land of Pingyin will be extinct after winter!"

"Desperate? This is ridiculous. Liu Che's eyes narrowed into a slit, "The plague of borers is inevitable, and it is a last resort for the people of the Han Dynasty to die because of this." However, your sentence of extinction means death! My Han Dynasty has experienced the rule of Wenjing, the treasury is relatively abundant, and the people will have a crisis of extinction, how can I believe in its authenticity? ”

Bai Mingzhe lowered his head and explained: "Your Majesty doesn't know, this year's borer disaster is a national disaster, and there are definitely not a few people affected by the disaster. If you want to make the grain extinct in the warehouse, there is only one point, that is, the taxes of last year have been exhausted, and the taxes of this year have not been collected much ...... at all."

He didn't go on, he felt it was clearly explained.

The tax of the Han Dynasty is one of ten taxes.

No matter how bad the harvest is, it will not be the same as the confiscation.

There is only one possibility for all this, that is, the harvest was reduced last year, and the harvest is no longer available this year, the people have no grain to pay, and the warehouse does not have much inventory.

Liu Che's eyes glared angrily, bloodshot pupils entangled, and his strength was really drained, and he sat on the collapse weakly, unable to calm down for a long time.

No Harvest......

It turned out to be a dead harvest!

First the Yellow River burst, then the loss of Mayi, and now there is the plague of borers, and the grain harvest is lost......

Is this a warning from the heavens?

After a long time, he raised his hand and pointed at Bai Mingzhe, stammering. Still can't believe it, "You... Are you lying? I'm... The world, how... How could this be... The sight! ”

"Your Majesty, what the criminal minister said is true. This year's plague of borers is too serious. If we had taken precautions earlier, we wouldn't have gotten to this point! ”

Zheng, who was kneeling on the side, suddenly screamed: "Preventive means?"

Ignoring the etiquette, he rushed out of the seat suddenly, grabbed Bai Mingzhe's collar, his face was flushed, and the words roared out from the dantian: "What you say is true? Is there a precautionary measure against the plague of borers? ”

Bai Mingzhe swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Not only moths, but also locusts."

"Hahahahaha, good, good! Good! ”

Zheng was in a surge of adrenaline hormones at that time!

How to prevent borers and locusts!

Dahan has had a lot of disasters in the past few years, and he is very tired of doing this big farmer.

Now that he learned that the insect plague could be prevented, he was ecstatic!

As long as it is handled properly, the taxes of the Han Dynasty will definitely not be reduced because of disasters in the future.

The Shaofu and the treasury will not cry poor every time.

"Great Agricultural Order, you get out of the way!" Liu Che sat slumped on the wooden collapse, weak and pale, "I have something to ask him!" ”

"Your Majesty......!" Zheng was stunned and shouted.

Liu Che roared in a low voice: "Get out of the way!" The way to prevent borers, wait for the end of the court meeting to ask! I now want to know how to solve the plague of borers! ”

"Although the counties and countries of the world have reported the occurrence of insect plagues, they did not tell me the real situation, only that the grain production was reduced and the taxes were reduced!" His expression froze, his teeth gritted "creak, crunch", lowered his voice, and said to himself, "Vassals, hateful!" Could it be that someone intercepted the message? …… It seems that the cutting of the feudal domain still has to be carried out! ”

As an emperor, Liu Che had a good grasp of his state of mind, and after only a moment of anger, he calmed down.

He closed his eyes and rested for about thirty seconds, then opened them and asked in a deep voice: "Wei Qing said just now, since Qing dares to open a warehouse and release grain, there must be a solution!" Can you tell me what you think? ”

Bai Mingzhe looked at Liu Che, whose expression was a little frozen, and said, "Your Majesty, although there are warehouses all over the country to store grain. However, according to the estimation of the criminals, the warehouse reserves in some areas are simply not enough to support the people's food. ”

"Please give an order to use the money from the national treasury to buy the world's grain and carry out a second relief to make up for the pain of food shortage in some areas."

Although this method of disaster relief is somewhat straightforward and abrupt, it is the best method at present, and it is also the easiest method to implement.

After the rule of Wenjing, the Han treasury was innumerable. Although the siege of Mayi consumed a lot of grain, grass, gold and silver, the most important battles against the Xiongnu during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had not yet been carried out, and the current consumption of grain, gold and silver was not enough to shake the foundation laid by Wenjing.

"Bai Mingzhe, you estimate how much food is needed to help the people of the Han Dynasty tide over the difficulties??"

Bai Mingzhe closed his eyes and began to estimate according to the situation in the land of Pingyin.

After some calculations, a conclusion was finally reached.

He hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the counties and kingdoms of the world together still need at least one hundred and one thousand stones. However, if people are sent to deliver it, the amount of food consumed during the transportation will greatly exceed the needs of the people. ”

"Please give an order to let the grain merchants of the world transfer and sell on the spot. Buy food and money, and let them come to Chang'an to collect it by themselves. ”

"In this way, we can save time and food."

"Use all feasible methods to make up for the suffering of the people."

Liu Che let out a long sigh.

After learning what happened to the people in the world, his whole person seemed to be ten years old, and his voice became weak, and he didn't have the roar just now.

"Great Agricultural Order!"

"The minister is here!"

"Spread my will, allocate funds from the state treasury, buy food, and distribute it to the people affected by the disaster. At the same time, I am very pleased to inform the county and county orders of the world, they have done a good job! ”

"Ordered all counties to confiscate those who were in the midst of disaster relief, pretending to be victims, and receiving food."

"Han Anguo!"

"The humble minister is here!"

Liu Che looked at Han Anguo and said in a cold voice: "Let the lieutenant of the county of the world go out to strictly investigate the unscrupulous businessmen who maliciously increase the price of grain." After the seizure, all the family property was directly confiscated, and the family members were used as official slaves, and the mastermind was escorted to the north to guard the frontier! ”

"No!"

After arranging all this, Liu Che looked at Bai Mingzhe with appreciative eyes and said, "A good person who lives in a temple is worried about his people, and I have been taught!"

"Come on, untie Bai Yushi! Throne! ”

Chun Tuo got the order, hurriedly trotted all the way, took the key, held the soft cushion, and tinkered beside Bai Mingzhe.

After about three or four minutes, the shackles on Bai Mingzhe's hands were removed, and his wrists returned to freedom.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Now that the matter of the victims has been resolved, I ask you, is there a way to do it in the border area? If so, explain it immediately! There are still more than 100,000 soldiers waiting to eat! ”

Since they all let him explain, Bai Mingzhe was unceremonious.

As long as you can get through this hurdle, then the sin can be completely forgiven.

What he has to do now is to convince all the officials present, especially the military generals in the border areas.

Just convince them that everything will naturally act as if nothing had happened.

So, he spoke directly: "Your Majesty, the criminal minister needs pen and ink."

"Give it to him!"

Chun Tuo walked briskly with a pen, ink and silk book from the side, and finally placed it on the ground in front of Bai Mingzhe.

"Dang!"

"I wonder which minister is willing to help the guilty minister pull the silk book?"

"I'm coming!" Dong Zhongshu on the side stood up with a smile, walked over the master who was kneeling on the ground and his body trembled, and walked straight over.

His eyes were full of appreciation.

"Boy, yes! You're very good! ”

"Thank you, Dr. Dong, Mingzhe is ashamed."

"Alright, let's get down to business. In the future, if you have the opportunity, you can come to my mansion. I have something to discuss with you. ”

"No!"

Dipped in ink, Bai Mingzhe began to write on the silk book, letting himself go.

"Huh!"

"Huh!"

Black lines flow from the tip of the pen, piercing the silk book, leaving traces.

The officials in the field all stared at Bai Mingzhe motionlessly, all wanting to see what tricks he was playing.

Especially the two spokespersons of Longxi and Beidi, they both frowned and had a lot of thoughts. This is a court meeting to suppress the forces of foreign relatives, and if there is no great interest, they will not bow their heads and acquiesce.

The big hand of the foreign relatives has already reached out to the military, and if it is not controlled, the old military forces will be completely infiltrated.

Although Bai Mingzhe has now received preferential treatment from Liu Che, above the court, the real game has not yet begun.

Military merit is above all else, and if the generals do not speak, it is impossible for this court meeting to end.
