Chapter 1224: Follow-up

Originally, it was expected that by the time the time came, almost all the food would be delivered, but in fact, it was not until about noon that all the food was distributed.

It's not because of what happened halfway, it's because of some careful thinking, it's hard to figure out, no, it's not that it's unpredictable, it's really because of this kind of small citizen's thinking, which slows down the overall progress.

As I said before, because it takes a lot of time to distribute food, so after calculation, many people can't get food to cook at home immediately, not to mention, there are some beggars whose names are not recorded on the roster of the government office, so Zhang Fan asked people to take out food from the government treasury and give porridge and rice.

Originally, this was done to alleviate such a momentary tension, in case something unexpected would happen, and it was really a reasonable thing to do so, and there was no bias, but on the contrary, some people's little caution played a big role, but in the end, it was just to take advantage of it.

Even if everyone has five denier of food to get their hands on, there are still people who feel that the grain is food, and before receiving the food, they have to beg for a bowl of porridge first, even if they are already very hungry, they can still hold on until they get the food and go back to cook, but even so, there are still people who want to take advantage of this.

Therefore, although it is said that the soup is to deal with those who have not yet received food, as well as those beggars, in fact, when it comes to the end, there are almost as many people queuing on both sides.

And there is really no way to solve this kind of thing, at least, during this period of time, Liu Xian has never come up with any way to deal with this situation, and he can't help but let those people get it, if they say that they are really hungry, it will be something that cannot be verified.

And Liu Xian, at first, he really didn't have a way to deal with this situation, but after that, he didn't bother to take care of it, after all, this kind of thing can't be managed, and Liu Xian was really tired, and when he arrived, he saw that the number of people who were still waiting to receive food gradually decreased, so he also went to rest in the yamen.

In short, this matter has been done until about noon, and this is the end.

And Zhang Fan and the others are so tired that they are still sleeping.

Of course, in Yongning City, in fact, at this time, most of the people are resting, a few days down, people who were kicked out of their homes, finally returned to their homes, these days, the people have not slept well, and now they finally returned to their homes, full of food, naturally they all slept well, not to mention, it seems that this time, let the people in the city be a blessing in disguise, for no reason to get so much food, this kind of good thing, let them sleep more sweetly.

And Zhang Fan was resting, those who wanted to deal with Zhang Fan should have taken such an opportunity to discuss how to deal with Zhang Fan, after all, Zhang Fan came too suddenly, and they didn't have any preparation at all.

But even in the face of such a good time, no one did it, because these people were so tired that they still had the spirit to gather together to discuss these intrigues.

Therefore, now this Yongning Mansion, which has just been liberated, is really quiet now, ninety percent of the people are resting, only waiting for the moment it wakes up, and I don't know what will happen, but those are not things that need to be considered now, in fact, for these people, what will happen next, there is no need to prepare anything in advance, just follow the things down, but, of course, the script has already been written, who will have what kind of ending, It's already doomed, but for many people, they can't see clearly, or even if they see clearly, they don't want to believe it.

This sleep, I really slept for a long time, until about the time of the night, Zhang Fan woke up, speaking of which, this made Zhang Fan feel a little strange, obviously there are still many things around him now, and they are all those big things that will not work if they are not solved, but Zhang Fan does not feel a little pressure on his body now, and even, his sleep can be regarded as the best sleep in the past few days, and he really has not woken up in the past five hours.

Maybe it's because, even if Zhang Fan has a lot of things waiting for him to deal with now, but in the final analysis, it is he who is making trouble for others, not others who are making trouble for him, and those who he wants to find trouble actually deserve it, Zhang Fan does not have a little psychological burden on this, in this case, Zhang Fan really has no reason to sleep badly.

When he woke up, he found that Feng Bao was already sitting in the lobby of the yamen, drinking tea, and Liu Xian next to him had already gotten up, and he looked in good spirits.

Feng Bao woke up first, but it was nothing, after all, he went to bed earlier, but Liu Xianke obviously slept several hours later than Zhang Fan, but he woke up earlier than him, how to say, maybe this is a characteristic of being a military general, even if it is not wartime, but as long as this situation is not the main problem for them, sleep never seems to be their main problem.

However, Zhang Fan was not entangled in this, and said hello to the two, and then found a chair and sat down.

"That's right," Obviously, Zhang Fan was still very concerned about the things outside at this time, and just sat down, he didn't even hold up the teacup, so he asked, "General Liu, how is it outside," although he knew in his heart, if something really happened outside before, I am afraid that Liu Xian would have pulled him off the bed a long time ago, but even so, Zhang Fan still had to ask, so as to reassure him.

"Lord Zhang, rest assured, nothing happened outside," Liu Xian nodded and said, "Actually, I didn't wait for the food to be distributed, so I went back to sleep, after I got up, I asked, the food has been distributed, and there are a lot left, after all, there are tens of thousands of people, there are always some discrepancies, but some people want to take it off, but they are also found out, and the people below are very sharp-eyed."

"The extra food, I let people return it to the treasury, but there are still more than a thousand stones, so I let people continue to give porridge to those beggars in the city,"

"That's very good," Zhang Fan was relieved when he heard Liu Xian say this, and then asked, "Those rich people in the city, but there are still those who came to make trouble,"

"How dare they," Liu Xian also laughed when he said this, "After going through the matter of Ding Youyang before, those rich people in the city thought that they also knew the identity and origin of Lord Zhang, and they didn't dare to come over and make noise, not to mention, hum, even if they came, what could they do, I had already commanded it, if such a person came to make noise, just beat it out,"

It seems that Liu Xian is also very unwelcome to those people.

"Now, those people are going to suffer," Feng Bao also said with a smile on the side, "I lost so much food for no reason and distributed it to the people, and I think they are not very angry in their hearts,"

"What does it matter," Zhang Fan didn't care about this, "Besides, the food hoarded by those people was originally scavenged from the hands of the people, since the founding of the country, the agricultural taxes collected by the imperial court every year have been lowered again, although sometimes, it is only reduced once in a few years or more than ten years, but in the past two hundred years, it has never risen, but the grain that these people have collected from the people below is getting more and more, and they have suffered losses, and the people have suffered losses for one or two hundred years, so that they can suffer such a loss, isn't it just right, anyway." and the food they have received is not enough for them to eat."

"What Lord Zhang said is," Feng Bao continued, "Moreover, it will be much better in the future, our family heard that Lord Zhang's teacher, Lord Zhang is now planning to implement the 'One Whip Law' throughout the country, and our family has also seen it, it is indeed a good thing, and with Lord Zhang's current status in the court, and the Queen Mother attaches so much importance to it, there is no trouble in implementing it, as long as this 'One Whip Law' can be implemented, even if these people can still loot in the future, it will be much less than before,"

"I don't care what happens to those people, as long as they don't violate the laws of the court, they will go," Zhang Fan took a sip of the tea in his hand and said, "The most important thing is that the life of the common people will be better in the future, as long as the life of the common people can be better, the future rebellions in various places will also be better, and the court will be able to settle down,"

"What Lord Zhang said is right," Liu Xian also expressed his opinion, "And when the time comes, as long as this 'whip method' is used together with the 'test method' that Lord Zhang implemented before, there will be no big problems in the future, as long as it can be so, the court will be stable, and I will be able to return to the prosperous era of Hongwu and Yongle again,"

Several people chatted for a while, and suddenly, Feng Bao said, "By the way, Lord Zhang, what should we do next?"

"Naturally, I have to wait for the imperial court's holy edict," Zhang Fan said, "but during this time, I am still in charge here, and I still have to find trouble with these people,"

"Oh," Liu Xian's interest also came, "First of all, the matter of food, now that the food has been completed, next, it will be the turn of those silvers,"

"That's right," Zhang Fan nodded, and said, "Speaking of which, these silver can't be made like grain, those rich families, accumulated by two or three generations, as long as there is a record on the books, then they have to give them all, and the people will be in trouble, after all, silver is not as much as food, if you don't divide it right, it will really make trouble,"

"What are the plans of Lord Zhang," Feng Bao asked from the side.

"I've thought about it," Zhang Fan smiled and said, "Come to think of it, the rich people here, in addition to those rich and noble families, these officials are probably also indispensable,"
