Zhang Ji? Sleepless night!

It wasn't until noon the next day that I heard the word spread in the college:

Regarding Zhao Cheng's public admission of Lingyang Mountain's command mistakes, he did not have the style of a regular scholar, and he did not resign from his official position. In addition, there is no news about Zhao Cheng's suspension, only that he appeared on the school field early this morning, and is supervising the reorganization of the Xiang Army.

This means that this big or small mistake, like other things in the Great Song Dynasty, was stopped by them again.

"Faint officials, at this time, they are still protecting each other, and they have also ordered that it is forbidden to discuss the defeat of Lingyang Mountain?"

"However, it is unfortunate that the officers and men are so urinating, they will never have more time to pay attention to the responsibility for command mistakes in the war zone. All of them were busy making money and public relations to the imperial court. ”

"The reorganization of bullshit, the more he Zhao Cheng is reorganized, the less available troops there will be in Chizhou, and it is estimated that Wang Xiu will soon enter the state city and rob all the wealth and women in Chizhou."

"Shameless!"

For a while, the scholars and students were full of discussions about this.

Shameless is shameless, but he can ascend to heaven whenever he is contaminated with the Cai family, and the credit is indispensable to them, but they are rarely in the back.

There is a grapevine that Zhao Cheng is very out of line, annoyed Cai You in the middle of the night, and nothing happened after admitting his mistake and apologizing.

"Traitors are in charge, who can show their magic powers, clear the fog, and save the people in Chizhou who are in dire straits."

The talented Su is worried about the country and the people, and he is inciting the emotions of the scholars......

The weather is getting colder and colder, and it is officially the beginning of winter.

The people of Chizhou have not seen the results of the handling of Zhao Cheng's "command error in Lingyang Mountain" for the time being, and there are fewer and fewer people mentioning this matter, and occasionally some people mention it, and it seems that they are talking about Zhao Cheng's sincere self-criticism, rather than being entangled in holding him responsible for the defeat.

In addition, people did not see any more fighting for the time being, while Zhao Cheng was busy reorganizing and training the army, Wang Xiu also seemed to be lurking.

In addition, for the sake of convenience during this period, Chen Meiniang's house was not sold, but she temporarily moved into the county government to live, and the conditions were better.

Before I got up this morning, someone outside came to report early, "My lord, someone from Yangshan is here, and General Bi Shijing has come in person to report something." ”

"Wait a minute."

This is a more important thing, so the current Zhao Cheng looks like a big faint official, and he is in love with Tan Xiaolan's demon girl every day, but in fact he is not very faint, his hair is not tidied up, and he goes out with his coat on.

When the people entered the official residence, although the first snow of early winter had not yet fallen, the hall was already full of braziers, and it seemed relatively warm.

Zhao Cheng, who was dressed like a furry bear, sat down, and by the way, the little girl Ling'er brought tea.

It is worth mentioning that since the Battle of Lingyang Mountain, Ling'er has become Zhao Cheng's maid, and she is a "formal worker" who signed a long contract, her surname was Wang at the earliest, but then she was expelled from the clan and had no surname, and now Zhao Cheng let her surname Zhao, and officially registered in Guichi County as a big head of the people, named Zhao Ling'er.

Otherwise, before this, she could actually be regarded as a passive escape.

After Master Zhao drank the first sip of tea, Bi Shijing from Yangshan hugged his fists and said, "My lord, it's unfortunate news that Yangshan is basically out of food." ”

This is an inevitable situation, in fact, he doesn't need to report it, Zhao Cheng has been eyelids jumping for this in the past few days.

Basically, now that Chizhou has entered a state of war, food has become a scarce material. Even if this year's harvest is considered a bumper harvest, there is no shortage of grain in Chizhou on the whole, but this does not mean that the grain is in the hands of the government. The whole is concentrated in the hands of those big households and grain merchants.

Due to the shroud of the clouds of war, just like Shidai County at that time, refugee camps have appeared around various cities in Chizhou, and the scale is also expanding.

Technically speaking, they are not displaced refugees for the time being, but because they are not defenseless and extremely insecure, they spontaneously form a group to warm up and strengthen their courage during the special period.

However, to paraphrase the logic of Wall Street in later generations, this has greatly formed a soil environment for shorting the government and longing grain futures. Since this is the case, grain is now basically in a situation where there is no market for it, and basically those who hold large-scale grain refuse to open warehouses and release grain.

The situation is rather grim, and for the time being, no one is willing to bear the burden of making a fortune in the country, so that the price of grain will rise sharply. But in fact, they can't buy it at the original price of grain, and they are all playing monkeys, saying that there is no stock. Just wait for someone to break this equilibrium point, and it will officially enter a situation where the price of grain per hour is rising.

In fact, Zhao Cheng's propaganda team had already brought news from the counties before this, and now in the refugee camps where the cities gathered, small-scale high-priced grain purchases began to appear.

In general, Zhao Cheng has some data, these refugees who are not refugees for the time being, there is some food in store for the time being, not too much, but there will be some. In normal times, groups like them mainly hold some copper coins for convenience.

This is due to the asymmetry of the news surface, and they will not everyone judge that war is coming. But if they really encounter this time, it is basically equivalent to not being able to support it for too long, they will work hard for the whole year this year, or even in previous years, and soon, because of the environment shrouded in the clouds of war, the grain trade between Chizhou and the states will be cut off, and finally the local grain merchants will increase the price of grain sharply, which is equivalent to a sharp depreciation of the copper coins in their hands.

To be precise, due to the problems of the social system, human beings will face such problems even after entering the industrial age, and the surplus and cheap milk poured into the river is not a legend, but a modern foreign version of Zhumen wine and meat smelly. Not to mention the feudal era.

The real reason for the food shortage of the White Agarwood Department is that her population is geometrically large.

In terms of population, she is basically equal to "making a fortune". Because she has been adhering to Zhao Cheng's program, in this season when she needs to stay warm, some people do not choose to wait for a small amount of soup porridge from the government outside the county, but go to Yangshan, and Bai Agarwood accepts them without any conditions.

It is this that has led to the continuous increase in the number of people in Yangshan in the past half month, from the original 500 to 2,000.

As a result, Zhao Cheng's eyelids kept jumping for a few days.

Because this has obviously become a serious contradiction and conflict at the moment, it is difficult to get through such a food crisis without increasing hatred. To put it simply, no matter ancient or modern, if you don't kill people, you won't be able to stop those who want to make a fortune in the future.

In the midst of an unpredictable war of life and death, food has become a major "distribution contradiction" at present, so no matter who the commander is, this is enough to make people's hearts beat quickly, and Zhao Cheng will not be an exception.

"Your Excellency?"

Bi Shijing tried to remind.

was not scolded, Zhao Cheng hesitated for a while, "The headquarters of your reaction is already known, go back and tell Bai Agarwood, the headquarters will come up with a way as soon as possible." ”

didn't hear the promise, only heard Zhao Cheng say vague words such as "as soon as possible, find a way, or will", Bi Shijing was inevitably disappointed, knowing that he was afraid that the problem was big.

Zhao Cheng is now very prestigious, and the army is especially afraid of him, but on the issue of strategic materials for the war, Bi Shijing came with a lot of pressure, did not leave, and continued, "My lord...... Maybe that's what it could do? According to the program and theory of adults, Yangshan is also a people, and now there are many people gathered, and it is still one of the refugees. Is it possible to apply the policy of Guichi County to give porridge to the people, and open a warehouse to release a part of the grain to Yangshan? ”

Zhao Cheng said: "Do you want to say this?" I knew this from the beginning. But there are a few premises, first of all, look at who the main book is. Secondly, I am only a temporary military commander-in-chief, and I do not even have the right to arbitrarily act on the spot, let alone the political power and civil rights that cover the sky with one hand. Zhu Xiao, the old thief, has always insisted that Yangshan is the same as Wang Xiu, so how to let him open a warehouse and release grain? ”

"Bloody mouth! As I saw with my own eyes, Bai Agarwood and those people were the old, weak, sick and disabled who really needed to be protected, and they were the people of the Great Song Dynasty, which were completely different from Wang Xiu's wanted criminals! ”

Bi Shijing was indignant about this.

Zhao Cheng said softly, "I know this." But it is common in officialdom to refer to deer as horses, and to a certain extent, they are indeed very similar, and it is not that I can solve the problem by saying no. This has to be resolved slowly through political channels, communication and compromise, etc. I'm in charge of this, and it's useless to be anxious. It's up to you to grit your teeth and deal with this unusual winter. ”
