359th Seven months of heavy snow4
Face, compared to Sima Guang, these two old and refined Zaifu don't take such things too seriously, but then, they have to be in pain.
After getting Zheng Xia's report, the two of them thought more, now that it is the autumn harvest season, it has snowed so heavily on Hedong Road, even if the people of Hedong Road are desperately trying to harvest part of the grain in the field, it is still a drop in the bucket. Large-scale grain harvests have become settlements, and heavy snow on Hedong Road will more or less spread to the surrounding areas.
Northwest Zhulu, under the governance of Sun Jue's old thing, even if the same heavy snow is encountered this year, the people can still endure it. However, at this time, Sun Jue had already resigned and returned to his hometown, and they originally wanted to transfer all the capable subordinates of Sun Jue's subordinates out of the Guanzhong region, but now it seems that they can't move a few of them for the time being.
What is even more worrying is the Zhulu of Hebei, where when the whole country was improving, it suffered from the locust plague spread by the Liao State for many years, and many people had died. In fact, the two of them also knew in their hearts that the Baojia rebellion was neither the fault of Di Jian and other people who were involved in the armor, nor was it Zheng Xia's fault, but in fact, it was caused by the collusion between these families and local officials in Hebei to privately swallow the relief food brought by Chang Pingcang and Zheng Xia.
In this, the Xiangzhou Han family has done particularly excessively.
If this heavy snowstorm spreads to Hebei, Hebei, which is close to Youzhou in Liao, will definitely fall into chaos. Moreover, next to Hedong Road is Bianliang City, which is the capital of the Great Song Kingdom!
There is a greater need for food here, compared to Hedong Road, Bianliang City must be the first to ensure the target, followed by Hebei, where the vitality has been greatly damaged, and the food from the south is naturally needed to stabilize the situation and vitality, and the grain from the south is also easy to transport to Hebei.
On the contrary, it is snowing so heavily on Hedong Road now, even if there is enough food in Bianliang City, it is also a very headache to transport so much grain into it.
The difficulties are always there and will not be transferred by anyone's will.
Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu have always known this, so they gathered their subordinates to discuss together, first of all, to find out the grain reserve problem in these places, and this pot can no longer be thrown on Cai Qu and Zhang Dun, the reason is also very simple, Li Xian and the original Taiyuan Prefecture prefect were the two of them in order to cater to the empress dowager's high wishes.
Now, if something happens, it naturally can't be the fault of the Queen Mother, not to mention, this Zheng Xia is also the person recommended by themselves.
Therefore, in order to ensure the stability of the Hedong Road, the Hebei Zhulu, and the Gyeonggi region, they had to immediately send their henchmen to these three places to strictly check the actual amount of grain in the local government and Changping, and send the local army to seal these warehouses as soon as possible. It is strictly guarded against people taking the opportunity to resell the grain in it and make a fortune that is difficult for the country in this heavy snowstorm.
Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu have been in power for so many years, and the people under them are also capable, and it didn't take ten days to check the grain reserves in these three places.
Overall, the situation is good.
In fact, Cai Dao was also very aware of the situation of Zhulu and Hedong Road in Hebei, and knew that the situation there was very bad, so he didn't do anything about the grain reserves in these two places.
The plan to hide wealth from the people has already begun to be implemented when the Central Plains is ripe in the sixth year of Yuanfeng. Regarding this, Song Shenzong himself is well aware of it and strongly supports it. After all, what was paid was only the liquor made from the harvest of grain, but what was obtained was a large number of cattle and sheep in exchange for the Liao State, and these livestock were also sold to the people at a low price in the first place.
Of course, this so-called low price is not something that ordinary people can afford. Eighty percent of the liquor brewed from the secret recipe contributed by Cai Dao and the cattle and sheep exchanged from the Great Liao Kingdom still fell into the hands of those big families and local gentry in the north. And the cattle that fall into the hands of the people at the bottom are basically about one-tenth. The remaining one percent was naturally sacrificed to their own five internal organs temple by the children of those delicious families.
And Cai Dao's big rat plan was officially implemented after the death of his Song Shenzong. However, at the same time that Cai Dao issued the implementation of this plan, a ban was issued - in the eighth year of Yuanfeng, no one was allowed to touch the grain reserves in the Gyeonggi area for the time being.
There are three reasons for this:
First, in order to save the face of Song Shenzong, the former emperor,
The second is to paralyze the conservative ministers, and at the same time, Cai Jing was still the governor of Kaifeng at that time, and if there was a problem with the grain reserves in the Gyeonggi area, he would also be to blame.
Third, because of the death of Song Shenzong, it is necessary to strictly prevent the Liao State and the Western Xia State from taking the opportunity to attack the border. In order to ensure the stability of the Great Song Dynasty, grain was naturally the top priority, and internal stability was particularly important.
However, for Cai Jing's worries, as well as his worries about the last point, Cai Dao obviously thought too much.
Cai Dao didn't expect that Cai Jing didn't throw himself into the arms of the conservatives led by Sima Guang.
At the same time, at this time in the Liao State, the famous faint monarch Liao Daozong Yelu Hongji was in power, this one was in power longer than Song Renzong, and the internal chaos was even more chaotic.
And because of Sima Guang, the Western Xia Kingdom will also die down for the time being. At the end of the year, the brother and sister died one after another, which gave the Song and Xia sides a reason and opportunity to cease fighting.
Therefore, the government treasury of the Gyeonggi region is still relatively sufficient, of course, if compared with the same period in history without Cai Dao, the grain in the government treasury of the Gyeonggi region is at least nearly 30% less, and the same is true of the inner treasury.
Although the Empress Dowager Gao Taotao trusted these two important ministers very much, she still handed over the inner treasury to the eunuchs of her cronies, and did not hand it over to the conservative ministers.
The treasury of Zhulu in Hebei is still as empty as before, but after several years of locust plague, there are fewer people, and there is naturally less food to be replenished. There is also good news, that is, Hebei Zhulu, except for the five miles around the Taihang Mountain, there has been no snow in other places so far.
However, there are not any hidden dangers there, and Di Yong's straw bag has not completely eliminated the armor that participated in the rebellion. Therefore, Wen Yanbo and Lu Gongzhu issued orders one after another, severely accusing Di Yong of his incompetent behavior, and issued a deadline for Di Yong to completely exterminate those stragglers within the time limit, and lead the forbidden army to return to the court as soon as possible.
Since the beginning of the eighth year of Yuanfeng, these armies have been stranded in Zhulu in Hebei, and they have been controlled by Di Yong. Although the two of them never doubted Di Yong's loyalty, it was commonplace for the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty to remain suspicious of military generals.
Now, the army has always remained in Di Yong's hands, and it has always been a hidden danger, in order to prevent it from happening. They also invited Gao Taotao, and sent a prison army to Di Yong's troops, urging Di Yong to complete the task as soon as possible.
Zhang Shangying saw that the twists and turns he had made finally came true, so he immediately wrote to the emperor and impeached Wen Yanbo and Lu Gong. However, he is now a white body, and the demotion of Cai Qu and Zhang Dun has been put on the agenda.
Now that they can't protect themselves, how can they care about the opinion of this little-stirring stick.
After Zhang Shangying resigned, the reason why he stayed outside Bianliang City was not because he was a scoundrel, but because he was instructed by Su Zhe. He was originally from Shu, and his relationship with the Su Shi brothers was not too close, but the identity of his fellow villagers was placed there, so he was naturally closer than ordinary people.
Su Shi took office in Hangzhou, and Su Zhe was temporarily dismissed from his official position because of illness, so Su Zhe could only ask Zhang Shangying to stay outside Bianliang City temporarily and take care of the manor bought by Cai Dao.
After recovering from his illness, Su Zhe entered Beijing again, and presided over the opening of a new academy according to Cai Dao's previous request and Zeng Gong's entrustment.
Cai Dao has already thought of the name of this new academy, and it will be called 'Wujiao Academy'.
There is no class, UU read the book .net For this name, Zeng Gong, Su Shi and Su Zhe all agree with it.
Just from the name of the academy, it is clear that this academy will be the same as the Cai school opened by Cai Dao before, in line with the purpose of teaching without class, and will enroll a large number of children from poor families. Most of the children are just learning the skills to support their families. There are many people, and Su Zhe will definitely be able to find those unpolished ones among them
Jade's.
In the document drafted by Wen Yanbo and Lu Gong, they were very responsible for Di Yong's behavior, and almost pointed to his nose and said that Di Yong had not moved troops to return to the court for so long, which was simply raising self-respect.
Before, Zhang Long contacted the remaining Baojia who had not been exterminated in Hebei Zhulu, and the progress was not too smooth, although others arrived in Hebei, they could not find a person who could take charge, and those Baojia who had a name and surname and a rebellion had been killed by Di Yong. Besides, the rest of the stragglers couldn't enter Taihang Mountain.
This is because Di Yong has been sending his forbidden army to strictly block the roads leading to Taihang Mountain in Hebei after exterminating the rebel Baojia, and he is afraid that these stragglers will flee into Taihang Mountain and merge with the bandits in the mountain.
