Luoyang City is a new capital, it is not the old city of Luoyang in the Han and Wei dynasties, but a magnificent capital city that was newly built in the year of the Great Cause. Although the war burned to the Royal West Garden several times, Li Mi's soldiers and horses killed Luoyang City several times.

But it never entered the city, and there was no real fierce offensive and defensive battle under Luoyang City, and before Li Mi and Wang Shichong decided the victory or defeat on the periphery, this Luoyang City was taken by the Qin army's clever plan, so it can be said that Luoyang was also preserved.

At least for the countless people in Luoyang City, the sooner the Qin army arrived, the fewer people they would starve to death.

Before Pei Xingyan entered Luoyang City, there was no food to buy in Luoyang City, and the nobles and heroes may have hoarded some food early, while ordinary people could only find their own way. When the Wei army was not besieging the city, they could still go out of the city to dig some wild vegetables and the like, but when the Wei army besieged the city, they could only starve in the city.

When I was hungry, I bought two-legged sheep on the black market, and even ate them.

During the period when Li Mi and Wang Shichong were competing for Luoyang, there was also a thing that Luo Cheng now seems very funny, that is, the people of the Eastern Capital were trapped and starved of food, and Wang Shichong made a transaction request to Li Mi, that is, to exchange the money and silk cloth in Luoyang City for the grain in Luokou's warehouse in Li Mi's hands.

What's even more incredible is that Li Mi really agreed at that time, and the two sides also carried out several such transactions in exchange for money and silk.

Although Li Mi stopped trading in the end, many merchants in the eastern capital still secretly traded with the Wei generals for grain.

In the most difficult days in Luoyang City, the grain was sold for 10,000 yuan, and it could only be traded in gold.

But now, that's a big change.

The four prime ministers who rushed from Fanyang and the officials of the Zhubu Temple quickly took over the mess in Luoyang.

Boatloads of grain are being transported from Shandong, Huainan, and Liaodong through the canal and the Yellow River.

"Your Majesty, according to Your Majesty's orders, the first batch of military rations transported from Donglai Port will be used for disaster relief, and the registration and rationing system will be implemented, and the work will be used for relief, and the effect is excellent. Yesterday, there were no dead bodies dying of hunger in Luoyang City. ”

Shangshu's left servant shot Du Ruyan and said.

"Very good, food is precious, so now we must strictly implement the rationing system, we must let these life-saving foods really fall into the mouths of the people, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to collect grain at high prices. From now on, it is forbidden to trade grain privately, merchants are prohibited from hoarding grain, and those who dare to sell grain privately will have all grain and their property confiscated, and will be punished with exile in Tuntian, Liaodong. ”

In fact, when Li Mi besieged Luoyang, Wang Shichong still had grain in his hands, and there were also granaries in Luoyang City, which stored a lot of grain, but at that time, Wang Shichong guarded these grains to the death, only supplying the army and hundreds of officials.

In addition, many grain merchants and nobles also hoarded grain in their hands, but they would never take out their grain.

And the black grain in the market, some of which were smuggled and sold by the granary officials, and some of which were bought by bold merchants who traded with the Wei army outside the city, took the risk of smuggling, and once they came and went, they could earn dozens of times the profit.

But now, Luo Cheng, no matter whether you are a former nobleman or a celebrity of the noble clan, it is forbidden to hoard and store a large amount of grain without permission, and it is forbidden to sell and trade grain without permission, and violators will be directly punished with confiscation or even exile.

Merchants and nobles who had grain in their hands were allowed to keep more rations, and they were allowed to keep enough rations for one year, and the surplus was to be sold to the imperial court.

The grain of the imperial court is not sold at will, but adopts a ration sales system, which must be registered with the government first, and there is an identity certificate before there is a fixed amount.

After registering them, they were given identification cards and food stamps, which were only given for three days at a time. With the identification badge and the non-negotiable registered food stamps, you can go to the military granary dedicated to the management of food to receive food.

After receiving this relief food, they have to bear the corresponding free labor, and exchange the labor for food.

It is under this kind of food policy that although the Qin army has not yet transported much grain, the food shortage in Luoyang has been temporarily stabilized, at least everyone has porridge to drink without worrying about starvation.

And every day, a fleet of grain ships arrives at the Luoyang Canal, which makes the people feel at ease.

Although this grain policy also infringed on the interests of many nobles and grain merchants, at this special time, Luo Chengcai would not care about them, and whoever dared to openly resist the decree would be severely punished.

Everything is based on stability, only when everyone has food in their hands and can fill their stomachs can there be stability to talk about, otherwise hungry people will be able to do everything.

On the one hand, there are countless hungry people, and on the other hand, there are a few powerful people in the past, and Luo Cheng knows very well which side he wants to stand on.

Everything is slowly recovering.

Several elite teams gathered in Shaanxi, Puban, Wuguan and other places, maintaining strong pressure on Guanzhong.

On the other hand, Luo Cheng also selected many of the original soldiers and horses in Hedong, Henan, and left some of their elites, mixed them into the Qin army, and then took on the task of sweeping away local thieves and bandits.

The people still have a dish on their faces, but at least they are no longer the empty and numb eyes of the walking corpse, and now everyone feels the hope of life and the rush.

The garbage in Luoyang City is also being cleaned up.

The streets are being restored to clean, the three big markets of the West City, the North City, and the South City, and even the merchants from Liaodong, Shandong, Huainan, Hedong and other places have begun to station, and they have brought all kinds of commercial goods, although they are far from reaching the grand occasion of the first two hundred and seventy lines of the great cause and tens of thousands of merchants, but it has also restored some vitality to Luoyang City.

Order is being restored in local counties and townships.

On the site of the abandoned village, groups of newly resettled villagers were ushered in, who carried the rations they received on their backs, dragged their families to their new homes, cut down trees and soil, built new houses, and helped each other.

Although the wooden houses, grass huts, and bamboo fences are simple, the curling smoke makes the village lively, and everyone has begun to laugh and laugh after their hard work, and the children have begun to chase each other and play.

The county guard, the county officer, the county commander, the county lieutenant, the township head, the chief, the village head.

Layers of organization are improving.

On the avenue, every twenty miles, a post station reopened.

In each county, there will always be one or two military offices, and even each county has a township militia.

There are no bandits and thieves running rampant everywhere, no more wolf-like officials urging conscription, and there are no local tyrants and shoddy gentry who take advantage of the fire to rob, and some just measure the land everywhere, settle the people, and divide the land and grant land.

"Now Henan is experiencing this catastrophe, one is poor and two white, but poverty is not terrible, what I am afraid of is chaos. As long as there is no chaos and stability, then everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, farmers farm, craftsmen make utensils, merchants sell, and soon they will be prosperous again. ”

Fang Xuanling, the Chinese scholar, said that there were more than 300,000 households in the original 22 counties of Luoyang, plus the Luoyang garrison, people in the court, etc., and the entire Luoyang had a population of no less than 3 million.

But now, the entire Zhongjing Yingtianfu, Luoyang and more than 20 surrounding counties add up to less than 200,000 people.

He suggested that the emperor should relocate the local wealthy and wealthy families from Liaoning, Andong, Hebei, Shandong, Huainan, Hedong and other provinces to Luoyang to enrich the population of Zhongjing Yingtianfu.

In this way, on the one hand, it can enrich the population of Zhongjing, and on the other hand, it can also draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle and reduce the strength of these powerful households that are not very stable in the local area, so that the new dynasty can quickly strengthen its control in various places.

"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from Hetao, Yun Dingxing was defeated in Jiuyuan, and he was defeated by the soldiers and horses of the King of Jin, so I hereby ask for surrender."

"Oh, this is good news, it seems that Yun Dingxing, the wall-head grass, has finally seen the situation clearly." Luo Cheng laughed. Jiuyuan County is the key point of the Hetao area, and taking this place will not only control the Hetao, but also form a flank and rear threat to Li Yuan in Guanzhong.

"There's just bad news!"
