Chapter 401: Heavy Snow
Thousands of mountains and birds fly away, thousands of people disappear, this heavy snow, so violent! So vicious!
The earth seems to have turned into a greedy drunkard, who uses the snow as a syrup and sucks it greedily. And God is also full of generosity, constantly spreading the elixir to the world, and it has been more than ten days in a row, and it is still unfinished, looking like he will not give up if he does not get drunk on the earth.
Looking at the snow, Wu Qimai wanted to cry without tears, looked up to the sky and sighed, eager to grow a pair of hands that could reach the sky and pull the sleepy sun out of the bed.
He knew that the heavy snow would mean a catastrophe for them, a nomadic people, and that when the snow stopped and the roads were opened, there would be disaster reports one after another. I don't know how many houses have collapsed, how many cattle and sheep have frozen to death, and how many elderly people and children have fallen ill or even died of illness because they couldn't stand the cold.
"Heavens, which god did I offend? He was punished one after another. In the first half of the year, Song Jiang was killed, with corpses rotting everywhere and scorched earth everywhere, and this rare heavy snow came again just after restoring people's livelihood. Man-made disasters and natural disasters have all been encountered by me within a year, is it I who are fighting to become the emperor, and my brother is to blame in the dark? Or is it years of war, with serious killings, and the gods take advantage of the cold to punish? ”
Wu Qimai silently scolded himself, he couldn't imagine that the Jurchens who destroyed the Liao State and the Song Dynasty, the once vigorous Jurchens, were defeated so lightly in the end.
The myth of the invincibility of the Jurchen was discarded in his hands, and the generation of war god Wanyan Zongwang was also sent out by him to fall in the Song Dynasty, and was also killed by the autonomous region team in the country. Now it's this terrible snowfall, he really can't bear this sudden disaster, and he has a desire to retreat in his heart, he really wants to return the throne to his brother's descendants, who likes to pick up this mess!
At this time, the neighing of the horse woke up Wu Qimai, who was standing in a daze, and he saw several people riding horses from a distance, and the snow was already above the horse's knees. When I got closer, it turned out to be his three nephews and a few guards.
As soon as Wu Qimai saw these wolf-like nephews, the thought of Zen position disappeared in an instant. He understood the jealousy of his nephews in their hearts, and in their eyes, Wanyan Zongwang was the legitimate heir to the throne, and he plundered it. Now that Wanyan Zongwang has died in battle, the resentment in their hearts is even deeper, if the Zen position loses power, he will definitely be tortured to death by his nephews.
Sure enough, the fourth prince Jin Wushu did not give the courtesy of a monarch and a minister when he walked up, but said in a muffled voice: "Your Majesty is so interested!" In the face of natural disasters, he can still maintain his composure and enjoy the snow scene gracefully, which is really worthy of the first saint of Daikin! If Your Majesty composes a poem, read it out to our brothers! ”
Sarcasm, condemnation, resentment, and dissatisfaction are all contained in this sentence, and at the same time, it also shows Wan Yan Zongbi's rudeness and domineering, forcing Wu Qimai to stay sober.
Before Wu begged for a reprimand, he heard the third prince Wanyan Zongyao say: "The fourth brother is reckless, Your Majesty must be begging God to have mercy on the living beings, hoping that this heavy snow will stop as soon as possible." You blame Your Majesty's intentions, why don't you make amends to Your Majesty quickly! ”
Jin Wushu reluctantly bowed down and said, "Wei Chen vainly confuses the holy will, begging His Majesty to punish him!" ”
Regardless of whether Wu Qimai forgave him or not, he stood up and stood aside. Wu Qimai felt embarrassed, he tried his best to hold back his anger and said to Wanyan Zonghan: "Is there a way for the Taishi to let the people survive the natural disaster? ”
Wanyan Zonghan said: "The heavy snow is the natural enemy of my Jurchens, and the snow queen must be a miserable image." Cattle and sheep can be raised again if they freeze to death, but if the population decreases, they will not be able to give birth to so many in a short period of time. For now, the only way to do this is to transport the property and food of the land of Yanyun here, how many people can be saved! ”
Before the words fell, Jin Wushu said in a loud voice: "I think it's better to let me take a group of men and horses to plunder some property from the Song people, and it is not a good way to blindly let Yanyun's land be lucky, and they will also have complaints." ”
Wu Qimai hurriedly said: "Don't mess with these plague gods again!" If the second nephew desperately brought it, did the Aiqing forget it? We should now stabilize and grow our strength! ”
Seeing that the suggestion was denied, Jin Wushu could only curse sullenly: "Liu Yu, this ungrateful dog, didn't know how to send us property, and he also signed an armistice agreement with Song Jiang, why did the second brother make this thing emperor in the first place?" ”
After scolding Liu Yu, he still felt that it was not enjoyable, and then scolded Song Jiang and said: "This damn Song Jiang, you are the one who made our Jurchen clan have today's disaster, I must break your body into ten thousand pieces!" "Goshoya
Jin Wushu looked bitter and hateful, as if Song Jiang made it snow. Wu Qimai hated that Jin Wushu couldn't speak in his head, so he said to Wanyan Zonghan: "The Taishi is fully responsible for the disaster relief after the snow. In order to save food for the winter, we must cut back on food and clothing. In the future, all the expenses in the palace will be halved, and the economy will start from me, and I will eat up to six dishes in the future. ”
"Command!"
After Yan Zonghan finished speaking, Jin Wushu said thoughtlessly: "How can you enrich the country by saving alone?" I don't think it's better to move the capital to Youzhou, which is close to the Song people, and you can send troops to rob it at any time! ”
Wu Qimai had long been tired of the Golden Vulture Technique, and now when he heard that it was like this again, he had no interest in talking about it at all. He said lightly: "It's cold, go back too!" I'm tired, go back to the palace to rest! ”
Wu Qimai turned around and left, but Jin Wushu's words made him heartbroken. If the capital is moved to Youzhou, the luxury there is indeed thousands of times stronger than Huining Mansion.
Enjoy the blessings, Youzhou is also good!
Suddenly, like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloomed, and it was a heavy snowfall!
"The snow is all over the sky, the ice is in the field, and the coal is burned and the wine is boiled to celebrate the harvest year". Looking at the white world, the people of the autonomous region cheered, Ruixue Zhaofeng year! When the spring is warm and the ice is gone, the soil is moist and the moisture is sufficient, the wheat seedlings will surely spring up like mushrooms after the rain, and the growth will be gratifying, and there will be a good harvest in the coming year.
Today's autonomous region mobilizes the people to reclaim a large amount of wasteland in an orderly manner, and then distributes a certain amount of land to the people according to the population. The people who participated in the reclamation did not pay taxes for two years, and only collected a small amount of taxes from the third year.
However, as long as the people who settled in the autonomous region had land, even those who did not participate in the land reclamation would be given a certain amount of land, and of course the land would have to pay taxes in the first year, but the taxes were not much.
The land is available, the land is abundant, and the people are happy, but it is difficult to grow grain into the land. Some of the first people who lived in the autonomous region already had their own cattle and farm tools, but many new people did not have cattle and farm tools, which is not a problem in the autonomous region, and now there are many breeding farms in the autonomous region, and there are many cattle, so the autonomous region rents out cattle and farm tools at low prices.
The peasants are afraid of drought, and the grain is planted in the ground, and if the sky has a fever all day long, and there is no water, the people will not harvest. This is also difficult to the autonomous region, the problem of watering has also been solved, many large waterwheels are erected next to the riverbank, think about even weaving cloth with water power, is it still a problem to build some super large waterwheels?
There is no grain for the winter, there is no seed for spring planting, borrow! The grain depots in the villages and towns of the autonomous region can lend the people a certain amount of grain and seeds, all of which are interest-free, and when they are harvested in the coming year, they can borrow as much as they want.
Of course, it is clearly written on the IOU that if you do not pay it back, there is only one way out, and you will never be allowed to take half a step out of the autonomous region. Moreover, the autonomous region has established a Ministry of Agriculture, headed by Song Qing, which is dedicated to the livelihood of the people and solves the problems of their livelihood.
A large amount of land in the autonomous region is still cultivated by the production and construction corps, and these units are also a kind of infantry in the autonomous region, which does not belong to the combat sequence, and is mainly engaged in production and construction.
They cultivated vast lands and prepared a large amount of food for the autonomous region, so that even if a large-scale war was fought, the autonomous region would not be short of military rations. However, these teams also carry out military training and political and ideological education, but the intensity is not as great as that of the combat sequence teams, unlike their daily training.
These teams will also be sent to the battlefield at critical times, although their combat effectiveness is not too strong, at least they are much stronger than those Song soldiers who fled in despair.
Half of the more than 300,000 people brought by Yang Jin have become troops, some of whom have joined the construction corps, some of whom have entered other branches of the armed forces, and the rest have become ordinary people and have spontaneously joined the militia.
The contingent has increased in quantity and quality, and one training a day has trained to develop iron discipline, copper tendons and iron bones, indomitable will to fight, and invincible fighting strength. In the event of war, these soldiers are the enemy's nightmare, and no one can stop this group of tigers.
