In the face of the devastated Liaodong, Zhou Yi was at a loss for words.

In the past, when I read novels on the Internet, it was quite simple for others to govern a place, engage in the economy, promote construction, and vigorously develop the population. But when Zhou Yi really put it in this position, he knew the limitations of the times and the constraints of practical conditions.

The current problem in Liaodong is the lack of food. And the grain and grass can't be made all at once, so there is no need to think about the support of the imperial court, and the imperial court does not have so much money to transport grain to support Liaodong for a while, even if there is, transportation to Liaodong is also a big problem. In this era, transportation is underdeveloped, and the cost of transportation is a big problem, and the cost is extremely high.

If it is transported by land, 10,000 stone of grain can only be left at most one-tenth in Liaodong, and the time is too long, far water can not quench the thirst of the near. There are still risks on the road, bandits are everywhere, and they can't say that they were robbed by robbers before they arrived in Liaodong.

If it is supported from Qingzhou and transported by water, it is feasible, but Qingzhou has not recovered from the Yellow Turban Rebellion now, and now there is no food.

Seeing that winter was getting closer and closer, Zhou Yi was also secretly anxious in his heart.

Judging from the official data, if there is not enough food, I don't know how many people will not survive this winter. This kind of bad situation Zhou Yi will never allow it to happen under his rule.

Taishoufu can't stay anymore, so it's better to go out for a walk and see if there is a solution.

The winter of the fourth year of Zhongping came very early, although it had not snowed yet, but the cold wind was biting.

Zhou Yi, who had just left the Taishou Mansion, couldn't help but tighten his neckline, took the cloak brought by his subordinates, and ordered Liu Bei to be called.

Although Liu Bei and the others just came the day before yesterday, Zhou Yi didn't prepare time for them to rest, and a lot of things were waiting there. Yesterday, they performed their duties, and Liu Bei came to the Assassin's Mansion to report early. Regarding Zhou Yi's arrangement, Liu Bei did not show any dissatisfaction, and actively handled official business. If you don't understand, you humbly ask your subordinates for advice, there is no shelf at all, and several documents have a good evaluation of Liu Bei.

"Fujun, you look for me." After a while, Liu Bei trotted over all the way, and he respected Zhou Yi very much.

"Xuande, you and I go out for a walk and see the style of this Xiangping. Since I came to Liaodong, I haven't seen this Xiangping City well. Zhou Yi beckoned Liu Bei to go to the street together, and ordered someone to bring a cloak.

"I see that Xuande is thinly dressed, so it's better to add another piece of clothing."

Xiangping is the location of Liaodong Taishou.

Xiangping is the richest area in eastern Liaoning, but the situation Zhou Yi saw was not as good as Chen Liu. The outlines of the houses are all there, but they are not very popular, the houses are closed, and the streets are sparsely populated.

In the corner, there are many homeless people begging for food on the side of the street, and there are many people who are unclothed and barefoot. It's shocking. But there weren't many pedestrians on the streets, so what could they beg for.

Seeing Zhou Yi and others coming, many people on the street wanted to come over and beg, but they hesitated. It's really that Zhou Yi and others are too conspicuous in this group of people, and a clear-eyed person can know at a glance that he is either rich or expensive, and he is still an official if he can't say it. At this time, the people had an instinctive fear of the government.

This was Zhou Yi's mistake, he didn't think so much when he came out, and there were two guards wearing armor and swords. originally thought about Zhou Yi's safety, but he distanced himself from ordinary people.

"Brother, brother, can you give me something to eat? Xiaoxiao hasn't eaten in two days. Turning the corner, a little girl ran to Zhou Yi. In the cold winter, wearing only a single coat and two bare feet, it was red and swollen from the cold. If it's colder, it won't crack without freezing.

"My brother doesn't have anything to eat, so I'll give you some money." Look at the little girl's dark and cold red face, and the pitiful eyes. Zhou Yi's nose was sore, and he almost burst into tears. Saying that, Zhou Yi took out a piece of silver and wanted to give it to the little girl.

Liu Bei stretched out his hand and pulled Zhou Yi's sleeve, shook his head at Zhou Yi, and looked at the street.

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, and then understood. There is too much money to give, and the little girl has no ability to protect her property, and she doesn't see the homeless people who are not kind to the streets. The money given can't be said to have harmed the little girl's life.

"Your father, your mother?" Zhou Yi squatted down and asked the little girl.

"My father was killed by the rebels, my mother and I fled here, and my mother also died of illness a few days ago, leaving me alone." The little girl said as she cried. In this world, human life is like mustard, and the living conditions of the people at the bottom are really shocking.

"You and your brother, how about going home, we will have food every day in the future." Zhou Yi decided to take in this little girl, and it was really unbearable to throw this little girl here. Encountering is fate, and it is one to be able to solve one.

"Really, brother." The little girl couldn't believe it, and asked with joy.

"Of course it's true." Zhou Yi could only smile sincerely.

Since then, there has been an extra girl named Zhou Xiaoxiao in the Taishou Mansion, which has brought a lot of vitality to the Taishou Mansion.

When encountering this kind of thing, Zhou Yi and the others were not in the mood to go shopping.

"Xuande, you are still thoughtful, if you hadn't stopped me, I might have killed my life in vain." Zhou Yi is still very grateful to Liu Bei, Liu Bei is still very careful in some aspects.

"The prince of the house is polite, even if you don't say it, the prince of the mansion will think of it." Liu Bei is Liu Bei, and he sounds so good when he speaks.

"Have you read the official documents of the counties, the situation in various places is not optimistic. Because of the war, the number of beggars in various places has increased, and there is a tendency to become more and more intense, and there is a tendency to concentrate in Xiangping. "Zhou Yi was worried about these things a few days ago.

"Yes, the counties cannot afford so many refugees, and Xiangping is the richest area in eastern Liaoning, and the victims will definitely be transferred to Xiangping. In previous years, if there was a disaster, it was basically the case, but in the past, there were few disaster victims, and Xiangping could afford it, but this year there are too many people, far beyond Xiangping's ability to bear. "I didn't expect Liu Bei to be quite proficient in government affairs.

"Yes, seeing that the official documents are all cold numbers, and the scene I saw today is shocking. I decided to open a warehouse to release grain and give relief to the victims. I don't know what Xuande wants? ”

When encountering such problems, only by mobilizing the masses can we solve them.

Only the solutions that everyone comes up with together will be fully implemented by everyone. Psychologically speaking, because of people's narcissistic complex, everyone will think that they are right, and people will prove that they are right. If an idea is come up with it themselves, people will defend it, and if an action is done themselves, people will prefer the action.

This is a skill that leaders must master.

You don't see it, and there is a famous saying in later generations: "Yuan Fang, what do you think?" "A large part of it is not really to ask for Yuanfang's opinion, but to improve Yuanfang's execution.

"The government wants to open a warehouse to release grain, which is the gospel of the people. I don't know if there is enough grain and grass in the treasury? ”

"Don't hide Xuande, the government has no food and grass."

"Is there any support from the imperial court?"

"There is no support from the DPRK and China, and everything depends on us."

After listening to Zhou Yi's words, Liu Bei pondered for a while before saying:

"The lack of grain in the government does not mean that there is no grain in Liaodong. Liaodong is an agricultural plain, there is no shortage of grain, but these grains are concentrated in the hands of the Gaomen Shi clan, and the largest family in Liaodong is the Gongsun family, as long as the family headed by the Gongsun family can open a warehouse to release grain, the problem of the victims will inevitably be solved. Then, the prince is ready to borrow grain. ”

"That's exactly what I mean."

"I'm afraid that the families in Liaodong may not be willing to lend grain to the government." Liu Bei was a little worried.

"It's not as good as Gongsun Zan in western Liaoning, we have no foundation in eastern Liaoning. But in general, try it, the people take food as the sky, if we can't solve the problem of eating, the homeless people riot, and the family will be unlucky. Zhou Yi replied.

Although the Gongsun family in Liaodong has the same surname as Gongsun Zhan, it is not a family. The head of the Gongsun family in Liaodong is Gongsun Du, who is also a hero. Later, he and Gongsun Zhan occupied Liaodong and Liaoxi, and divided the northeast. At this time, Gongsun Du was still at home.

The situation in western Liaoning is similar to that in eastern Liaoning, but Gongsun Zhan's family is a family of scholars, and they can provide grain to alleviate the predicament in western Liaoning. Liaodong Zhouyi has no foundation here, and if he wants to call on everyone to give food, it will take a lot of effort. I can't say it, and I broke my wrists with these nobles in Liaodong.

Zhou Yi's name card of Liaodong Taishou was handed to the family of Liaodong, but no one responded at all. sent Liu Bei to visit, and there was only one old housekeeper, who greeted him with a smile, good wine, good food, and good hospitality. Shirk that the head of the family is not at home, and he can't be the master himself, everything will wait for the master to come back and decide.

Zhou Yi thought that I wouldn't go, and it would be the same result if I went. It seems that these people in Liaodong don't take Zhou Yi too seriously. Everyone avoided Zhou Yi and knew what the difficulties Zhou Yi encountered when he first took office. is ready to see death and not save him, and sit back and wait for Zhou Yi to get out.

The Gaomen Shi clan refused to borrow grain, but the matter of relief to the victims was urgent, and more and more victims poured into Xiangping.

These people are all going to eat. Zhou Yi had to think of other ways. After summing up with the others, it was decided that the troops would be divided into multiple routes.

The next day, Liu Bei set up 12 soup kitchens in Xiangping City to help the victims.

At the same time, a notice was posted saying that the grain from Qingzhou had arrived, so that everyone should not panic. The court will not forget us, and we will definitely be able to get through the difficulties together......

The people of this era are still very simple, as long as they have a bite to eat, they are satisfied. I didn't see it, there are people in front of every porridge peng who automatically maintain order, and every person who gets the porridge will automatically say "Thank you, master".

Even when the people received the porridge, the elderly and children ate it first, and the young people stayed behind.

The old and the old, the young and the young.

What a simple folk custom, what a kind people.

But most of the time, people can't even meet the most basic survival needs of eating.

The king regards the people as the sky, and the people regard food as the sky.

Those in power forgot the words of the former people and began to compete with the people for food, but it was not a hole in the sky.

Liu Bei returned to the Taishou Mansion and saw Zhou Yi, the relaxed expression on his face disappeared.

"Fu Jun, do you say that General Dian can succeed?" Liu Bei asked cautiously.

"Xuande rest assured, it's not that it can be successful, but it will definitely succeed." As the coach, he must show his subordinates the situation of Zhizhu in his hands, although Zhou Yi also beat the drum in his heart.

Don't make any mistakes. I won't be able to think about this empty city plan for long.
