Chapter 696 Transporting Grain

The benefit of the drought to the Great Song Dynasty was that the Shaanxi Road Transit Division began to lure the Western Xia population into the Song Dynasty and continued to thin the strength of the Western Xia people.

And Dong Yu's strength was also affected, and he asked Qingyi to save his strength and act with the camera.

Ghost Zhang withdrew from Hezhou and returned to Baicheng, Mu Zheng became a lone army again, and new military changes took place in the Hehuang area.

But the disadvantage is that Hebei is not good, and the moisture in Hebei has not improved until the end of March, and the harvest has been completely lost for a whole season.

Wen Yanbo played, the land moisture, the water is two and a half feet below the ground, such land is uncultivateable, plus the important grain area on which Caoyun depends on the Liangzhejiang Road, last year also suffered from floods, this year the grain in the north is seriously reduced, Hebei is in danger!

And came together with Wen Yanbo's recital, as well as Shen Kuo's performance after visiting Liangzhejiang: "The annual amount of silk in Liangzhejiang is 980,000, and the people are very tired. Later, in the name of diverting goods, the shipping department increased the pre-purchase of silk by two Zhejiang, 120,000 yuan. Please let Your Majesty stop it in order to forgive the people. ”

The implication is that the burden on the Liangzhejiang Road is already too heavy, and it is really impossible to mobilize forces to support the north.

And the Liao people took advantage of the fire to rob, Bingchen, the Liao lord used Hedong Road to build additional fortifications along the border, set up shops, and invaded the boundaries of Wei, Ying, and Shuo, so that Lin Ya Xiao Xi came to say, begged to destroy and withdraw, and did not set up a boundary.

Zhao Ji was extremely angry in his heart, but he also had to give in, and asked the officials in the north not to provoke the Liao people, and the border of the three states, waiting for the imperial court to send officials to meet with the Liao people at the border.

Although the Xiongzhou Wailuo City mentioned by the Liao people has been repaired for thirteen years and is not built, since the Liao people have raised objections, they can only stop rebuilding it now.

Baigou Pavilion Station, Zhao Ji instructed that officials should also be sent to inspect, if there is a creation of building arrows and windows, etc., and order demolition, the garrison must also be withdrawn.

At the same time, Liu Chen, the secretary of Taichang Shaoqing, and Cheng Lu Dazhong, the secretary, were sent as officials of the meeting to negotiate with them in Liao.

In the letter to the Liao State, he used the following words: "If the cause of the matter is in the past, it is difficult to show favoritism; There is an encroachment in the sincerity world, why not be stingy to correct it! ”

Guihai, Hanlin scholar Han Wei entered the court, and Zhao Ji ordered him to Yanhe Palace.

The old ministers of the East Palace, because of their different political views from Wang Anshi, would rather insist on being appointed abroad than accept Zhao Ji's caring appointment, and Zhao Ji is 10,000 at ease with him in terms of character, believing that he will not deceive himself.

Zhao Ji asked Han Wei: "It hasn't rained for a long time, and I've been working hard all night, what can I do?" ”

Han Wei arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty is worried about the drought in Min, and the food and food are avoided in the palace, this is a story, and I am afraid it will not be enough to respond to the changes in the sky." May Your Majesty blame yourself bitterly, and issue an edict to speak out and open and close. ”

Zhao Ji was completely touched: "Then this edict will be written by you, write it now!" ”

Yi Chou, the edict said: "I wade into the road day by day, dark in the governance, in the political loss, with the sum of dry yin and yang, is since the winter to the present, drought is abused, within the four seas, the victims are wide.

There is a division between the edicts, damaging the regular meal, avoiding the main hall, hoping to eliminate the change with the blame; Over the years, it has not been covered.

The people are screaming, the great life is near, the middle of the night is happy, the shock is calm, and the blame is always to blame, and the unknown is unknown.

I don't want to listen to it? Isn't it a matter of court? Lost in its knots? Loyal and conspiracy is depressed by the above, and sycophants are hidden to become their own private people? He Jiaqi is not long-term?

In response to the Chinese and foreign civil and military ministers, and Xu Shifeng bluntly said that the government was lost, I will personally read it, and ask for it to assist the government. The doctor of the second thing, his affairs are carefully handed over, and he will become a god! ”

Under the edict, Sima Guang wept when he read it, his current position is still the judgment of Xijing Yushitai, and he has been the only one in the past few years: "Fang Jin's government is only six big: one is to spread the green seedling money, so that the people are in debt, and the county officials have no income; Second, it is said that the battle of the upper household is exempted, and the money of the lower household is collected to support the floating people; The third is to buy the city and change the company, compete for profits with the small people, and dissipate the official property; Fourth, China has not been governed and has invaded the four provinces, and there are fewer gains and more losses; Fifth, the regiment practiced armor protection and taught murder weapons to fatigue the peasants; Sixth, it is said that it is not easy to go its own way, believe in the crazy and cunning, and know the good. If there are other trivial things about rice and salt, they are not enough for His Majesty. ”

Compared with the historical chapters, the article on the reckless promotion of water conservancy has been abolished, and the article on knowing the good and not changing has been added, and the new law has been severely criticized.

Zhiqingzhou Teng Fu's words were even more intense: "Your Majesty knows that the new law harms the people. However, as soon as the edict is issued, the new law that has been implemented since the second year of Xining, and those who are inconvenient will be dismissed, and the people's will will be reconciled. ”

The direction of the court immediately became nervous.

Su You's book is more realistic: "The boat of a thousand stones cannot be stopped, and the balance of ten thousand jun cannot be established." In the five years since the implementation of the new law, we have gradually learned what we want at the top and gradually learned from the bottom.

Once it is abandoned and replaced, the mast will fall apart, the gang will be cracked, and the overturning can be expected.

The medicine has the effect of delaying the emergency, and the reason has the right to delay. The situation of flood and drought is an urgent task today, but in fact, disaster relief, food relief, peace of the people, and prevention of criminals are just a matter of disaster relief.

Shaanxi Zhulu, although the drought is fierce, but the harvest is not lost, this I am strong and the enemy is weak, Si Baishi has a momentary opportunity. When the governor and the marshal recruit the surname of the side, they will destroy the ministers.

Since Xining, Shaanxi has reduced the imperial court to supply millet, and I have not heard of the invitation of the transfer department to open a warehouse, but tell the group of bureaucrats to calm down.

Kaifeng counties, although there is no rain in July, but get the benefit of the canal river, winter wheat will be ripe.

The Xiang army cut 200,000 people, and the Beijing division did not lose again, please Zhao Sinong Temple, the three divisions, the heavy core of Beijing Changping, Guanghui Mi Hu.

Stop the grain gang in eastern Zhejiang, introduce Huaiyang salt into Beijing, place officialdom, attract merchants Jia to send Beijing grain, enter Yunzhou, Hebei, and become a big name.

Yunzhou water berth 800 miles, enough to meet the needs of the port; The Daimyo New River, with its abundant water power, can help thousands of miles in one day.

If you foresee, you will be established, and if you are not prepared, you will be wasted. When all of us are united and working together is difficult, it is not a miscellaneous discussion, but a day of debate! ”

Wang Anshi suddenly reacted at this time, it is useless to talk to the opposition, it is only right to calm down the situation and cut off their roots!

Immediately summoned Lu Huiqing and Zeng Bu to carry out relief work, Su You has a big face among the merchants, and he estimated that Cao Yun may not be reliable, so he personally came forward to ask Su You to organize the merchants.

At the end of March, the edict issued 1.32 million yuan of rice and 1.9 million yuan of three rice to be placed in the officialdom, and after "arduous" negotiations, Su You and the merchants reduced it by 20% as the price of the rice, and the merchants gave them salt after paying the money, and then organized them to transport grain to Hebei.

Su You also asked Xiaomei to mobilize the royal charity fund, in addition to contributing 300,000 yuan for disaster relief, he also promised that for every shipload of grain transferred, he would get the right to sell 50 pieces of glazed ware in the royal glaze workshop.

The enthusiasm of the businessmen suddenly soared, Dong Feiyuan organized hundreds of grain ships from Jianghan and 40,000 stones of grain to serve the emperor Song Zai, I Dong Fei organized and sold on his own, and was responsible for his own profits and losses, and he didn't bother the imperial court to spend a little effort on five thousand pieces of glazed ware, remember not to forget!

In fact, Hebei is not without grain, and the drought for more than half a year is not enough to empty out the grain depot in Hebei, but now the people still have grain storage, all of them are big landlords, and these people are only afraid that this drought will be regarded as an opportunity to make a fortune.

And the envoys from all walks of life are also looking forward to the court to give them the opportunity to fill the gap.

If you want to make these people unable to make a fortune, you can only rely on the state to maintain the basic situation and dispel the idea of making it difficult for these people to make a fortune.

This is the sorrow of the Great Song Dynasty, the execution of falling to the scum.

Su You's side has not paid much attention to this drought before, and the news can't be seen in the imperial court newspaper, and Wen Yanbo doesn't even bother to report now.

It wasn't until he received Teng Fu's letter in February that he learned of the drought in Yunzhou that Su You was taken aback.

Yunzhou has 800 miles of water, and there can be drought in Yunzhou, so the entire Hebei and Shandong are not generally serious.

But his main position is Kaifeng Mansion Yin, and his influence on Zhao Ji is not enough, and he has had a gentleman's agreement with Wang Anshi before, if he crosses him to report to Zhao Ji, he will be politically burdened with the huge stain of "no trust".

And I'm about to be too busy here, seeing that the wheat is about to ripen, but there is a locust plague near Kaifeng!
