Chapter 159: Luo Yan's face turned blue

This is not just the case. This situation has also occurred in other states and counties, such as the www.biquge.info of Pen, Fun, and Pavilion.

Originally, he was still entangled in Luo Yan's actions in Lantian, but at this moment, the court was instantly overwhelmed by a large number of songs. The omen of such a situation is obvious, those gentry maliciously hoarded Juqi, but the people have no place to buy food with their money at this time.

Or, the people will revolt and storm the Zhuangzi of the gentry, but this is very unlikely. The gentry have money and food, so naturally they invite many people to take care of their homes and nursing homes, and if they really want to rush in and grab food, they have the right to kill them directly. It's okay to be hungry, it's not time to fight hard.

There is only one kind, that is, a large number of displaced people gather in Chang'an.

It is really strange to say that the entire Guanzhong area is short of food. The people were going to surround Kyoto. Even those states and counties that are close to the south and Shandong will go outside. The common people all thought that I was short of food here, but the emperor was not short there, so they just reached out and asked him if he wanted it.

Local officials do not have the power to open warehouses and release grain without permission. What's more, even if you have this power, you don't have so much food in stock.

Looking at the music sent by Zhongshu Province that had been piled up like a hill, Li Shimin felt a little brain pain. Although he believed Luo Yan's words before, a lot of grain was transported in advance. The granaries are now full. However, seeing that the scope of these notes has seriously exceeded his expectations.

There is no way, let's start disaster relief according to the method that has been discussed before.

First, all localities were allowed to work for relief, and then Li Shimin sent important ministers from the DPRK and the central government to distribute a large amount of grain to the localities in the name of consolation. At the same time, he also instructed the armed forces in various localities to strictly guard against people taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos. In short, there is a sentence hidden behind all the actions, don't let there be displaced people outside Chang'an City.

In the form of cash-for-work, each adult laborer is paid two cents a day. At current food prices, it is not enough for a bowl of rice. But just this little bit has given a large number of people hope to continue to stay in their hometowns. It's not enough for a bowl of rice, but it's enough for a family of five to drink three thin meals.

However, it's not that simple. There is still more than a month before the autumn harvest, but the price of grain is still rising, but the remuneration for work remains the same. What's more, a family of five is considered a small number of people everywhere. Often a couple dragged the two old ones on top, and several children on the bottom, so that they still had to pay for food.

In Lantian County. After a few days of grain starvation, the price of grain suddenly rose to 80 wen a bucket. This number is really beyond the reach of many people, but the stomach still needs to be filled. Even if these people take the opportunity to raise prices to make money, the common people can't help it. For a while, more and more people came to Luo Yantian for loans.

Luo Yan had no time to take care of these things at this time. There are two things that Luo Yan of Lantian County has planned for cash-for-work. The first is the water conservancy project of the entire Lantian County. This matter requires a lot of manpower, and the scale is quite large, Luo Yan can only let Chen Yuru and the chief bookkeeper Liu Zongshen deal with this matter.

And Luo Yan himself is in charge of another thing, that is, to prepare a place for the resettlement of displaced people.

At that time, it is certain that the exiles cannot be released into the city, otherwise the matter will not be easy. But we can't let the displaced people continue to go forward, and if we go again, we will go to Chang'an City. If one is let go, Luo Yan will not be killed by those masters who have food and drink in Chang'an City.

In that case, the only way to do this is to choose a place outside the city and leave these people here.

However, time is tight, and the budget must not be the same as the normal repair of a house, so at most build some grass sheds. Anyway, at this time, the rain is not wide, so you can shelter from the wind. Moreover, if you do it in this way, you can also plan it reasonably, and it will be much more convenient to put porridge in the future.

The construction of water conservancy is closely related to the lives of local villagers, and with Liu Zongshen, a local official, there will be no problems at all. However, planning the resettlement of displaced people, for the locals, is purely a matter of coping with errands and making some money, and it is easiest to be careless. Luo Yan was afraid that he wouldn't be able to do this well, so as long as he had time, he would come out and watch.

Lantian is the last barrier in the southeast of Chang'an City, and there are several counties in front of it, so there will not be many displaced people, but it will certainly not be few.

The health and order issues of the resettlement need to be considered in advance. Fortunately, the amount of work in this matter is not as large as that of water conservancy, and there are a lot of people dispatched, and it is only ten days before this matter is completely completed.

On the day of completion, Luo Yan was also half relieved. In the future, it will be very convenient to let the displaced people live here, and then give porridge and dispatch manpower. When the time comes, let Song Zhen bring someone over to maintain order, and then let Liu Zongshen, who is old and serious, manage it, and he will be happy and idle.

After completing a major event that pressed on his heart, Luo Yan was naturally very happy. Someone was sent to tell Chen Yuru and Liu Zongshen, who were still watching the construction on the edge of the Chan River, that Luo Yan had decided to invite the county officials to have another good meal today. has been here for so long, and Luo Yan doesn't like to drink flower wine with his subordinates like other county orders, so he can only eat a few more times while celebrating his achievements.

I heard that the county order is going to treat you, although there is no beauty to accompany you, but after so many days of hard work, it is still fun to have a good meal.

At the beginning of the same day, these officials were taken by Luo Yan to the largest restaurant in the county. Anyway, I came out completely to relax, I wanted to come to the best dishes, and the wine didn't come to one or two jars like the previous times, and in the surprised eyes of his subordinates, Luo Yan wanted to come to ten altars of Lanling.

Chen Yuru had the most contact with Luo Yan, so she was bolder, and asked, "Lang Jun, there are so many, I'm afraid we will all get drunk." ”

"What are you afraid of, what we want, isn't it that you don't get drunk and don't go home. Today is open to drink, and in the future, when the famine cannot be solved, when will we have another good meal. "Luo Yan, this is completely to buy people's hearts. Everyone will suffer for a long time in the future, and if Luo Yan wants to make good use of these subordinates, he can't do it if he doesn't do it.

With Luo Yan saying this, everyone can be regarded as letting go. And in the past two months, in addition to thinking that Luo Yan has great powers, everyone also knows that he is a very peaceful person. There was a lot less restraint at the table for a while, and everyone was smiling and talking to each other in low voices.

After waiting for a short time, the wine and food came up, Luo Yan took care of the scene, got up and toasted a glass of wine to his subordinates.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think everyone knows what to do next. Although today is to celebrate the completion of the resettlement site for displaced people outside the city, I would like to take this opportunity to tell you that the time has come for me to work hard. Raising his glass, Luo Yan said, "I only hope that you will do your best and only do what you should and can do." ”

Luo Yan's words naturally have more meanings. However, there are not many people here who are very simple, and they naturally know everything in their hearts. Whether it was sincere or sincere, he raised his wine glass, signaled to Luo Yan, and then drank it all.

Now that the scene is finished, the rest of the matter is to eat and drink well.

When the cups are changed, it is also the time when these officials communicate with each other, and the exchange of official duties, private ridicule, and even some obscure things are said as jokes on this occasion.

Halfway through this wine, a dozen or so people have drunk five jars of wine. When we were talking about sex, some people came in the private room next to me in a hurry. Originally, it was quite quiet around here, and everyone laughed and laughed with each other very easily. But there are so many people on the side, but it makes people feel that someone is eavesdropping on the side, and the original laughter disappears in an instant.

After calming down, I still didn't stop pushing the cup and changing the lamp, but I laughed when I said it, and the number of times I said it was less.

However, the voices on my side are quiet, but the voices next to me are louder.

I only heard these people shouting for a lot of wine and meat, and before the wine and food came up, they began to shout loudly.

"I said Lao He, you've made a lot of money these days. The year before last, the old rice was sold out in less than half a month, and the price was seven or eight times higher than when it was first collected. It's too stingy for you to have such a meal today. ”

"Hey, what are you talking about, Lao Liu. It's as if you didn't sell the old rice yourself. I'm just selling a little more, and you're trying to kill me. ”

"You two don't fight, just the two of you have a lot of money, it's this year, and the rice of the year before last hasn't been sold out until this year. It's a good time this year, not to mention the year before last, I think it's the year before last, and it can be sold at a good price. ”

That's right. Hehe, seriously, I really have to thank this newly appointed parent official. If it weren't for the field loan law he did, those mud-legged people would have started to be homeless people a long time ago. I also said earlier that this land sale is blocked for us, and the future will not be easy. Who would have thought that there would be such a benefit now. ”

Hearing this, Luo Yan's face turned a little dark. I didn't attack these people, but I didn't expect them to be scolded. But what made him even angrier was yet to come.

"That's it. Originally, the price of grain could have risen to 70 wen at most. But as soon as the loan came out, it has now risen to 80 yuan, and those mud legs still have money to grab grain every day. So I said, this county order looks a little more majestic, and the real officer is not as good as Xu Song's guy. ”

"That is to say, this Luo Yan wants to talk to us well, and when we encounter a situation like this, we can still restrain ourselves. Like him, haha, he still wants to use a field loan to block the way for me to buy land. Now this treasury has not obediently become a treasury for us. ”

These people became more and more wild, and the voice became louder and louder, and later this sentence directly made all the people in Luo Yan's room hear it. Everyone stared at Luo Yan with their eyes, and Luo Yan himself, becoming more and more annoyed in his heart, slapped the table hard, and said with a blue face: "Drink." ”

ps: It seems that the temperature is cooling all over the country today, so everyone should pay attention to adding clothes. Don't ask me why I know so much, I've run out of paper to wipe my nose by now. (To be continued.) )
