Chapter 54 Xi'an Grain Store Opening (II)
After arranging the defense of the house, he asked the Minister of Intelligence Liu Gui to be called. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After Liu Gui entered the living room, he first greeted Feng Youcai.
Feng Youcai said: "Minister Liu, the Ministry of Intelligence has also been established for a few months, and there is no news, and it has not been reported to me. β
"Young master, there is a lot of information, and it has nothing to do with us for the time being, so I didn't report it to you, for fear of wasting your time."
"If you don't report, how do you know if I'm useful or not? While I have time now, tell me about it."
"Yes, young master, the biggest event is that Nurhachi established the Houjin Kingdom last year and began to confront the Ming Dynasty; Secondly, last year, there was a severe drought in many parts of the country, locust plagues in some places, the Yellow River burst in Henan, and the uprising of the people in many places, and the imperial court's disaster relief was a drop in the bucket, and it seems that the world is going to be in chaos."
"Isn't that the message? In the future, I have to report it in time, anyway, I will often come here and Yinchuan, report to me, I will know if it is useful or not, you don't want to make decisions for me."
"Yes, young master, I will report to you regularly in the future."
"It's not that I'm criticizing you or making trouble for you, it may be a small thing for you, but it may be a big deal for me. For example, if you say that there was a big drought in many places last year, is there going to be a big drought this year? What will increase the price of goods after the drought and locust plague? Of course, it's our grain, so we're going to expand the pace of opening grain stores this year, mainly because there are more droughts, and our business is easier to do, you say, right? β
"Yes, young master, I was wrong."
"In addition, since Nurhachi has established Houjin, there will be no less war with the Ming Dynasty in the future, this is also the basis for my decision-making, if there is pressure on the imperial court to guard Liaodong, it will definitely transfer troops from all over the country, it will definitely be an opportunity for us, when I have time, I will go to the chief military officer, looking for an opportunity to fight, we have to take the initiative to apply, now my official position is still too small, I have to find a way to earn military merits, and earn meritorious deeds and points, and even build a big grain store over there, It's probably bigger than here, and there are more people over there, isn't this useful and valuable information, and is there other information? You go on".
"Yes, young master, and last year, including after the Chinese New Year, the governors of the three sides were also continuously frustrated, and the Mongols looted and burned everywhere, but he couldn't do anything, I think we can apply for an expedition."
"Now is not the time, in the battle around our thousand households, we don't need to apply, just kill people secretly, or keep a low profile, otherwise offend people, the application I said is to fight Houjin, it is too far away from us, and there are troops from all over the country, and they are not afraid of offending people, even if they offend us, they are not afraid, it is impossible for them to come to our town or our thousand households to find me trouble."
"Young master, there is also a great drought in Shaanxi and Gansu last year, it is estimated that this year is also a great drought, and there is an invasion of Mongolian soldiers, causing many people to be homeless and become homeless, I feel that these people are likely to break out in an uprising, our warehouses are all placed outside, in case a righteous person comes to attack Xi'an, isn't it very dangerous?"
"The rebel army also needs to develop from small to large, at first they will not attack big cities, if they really attack us, we can also withdraw in time, this depends on you to have timely information."
"Yes, young master, we will pay attention".
"Our grain store will only be built in a large city, where do you think it is appropriate to build a grain store next?"
"I feel like it should be Kaifeng or Linqing."
"The steps can't be too big, and the distance between each other is not too far, the next step is to be in Luoyang first, then Kaifeng, Linqing, and then go to Tongzhou, Jinzhou and Huai'an, you first send people to these places to build points, if the personnel are not enough, you will apply, and the silver will go directly to Lu Bupoor"
"Yes, young master, I promise to complete the task."
From the beginning of the morning, LΓΌ Buqiang began to transport grain to the grain store, arranging for the transportation of baggage troops, and 1 small flag light cavalry and 1 small flag army were responsible for escorting.
In the afternoon, let Lu Buqiang arrange someone to take him to Xi'an City, Xi'an in this era is still a very big city, and it is also an important military and political place in the northwest, needless to say the degree of prosperity, the first time I came, if I didn't go around, I would like to know some common sense things in this era.
Due to the invasion of the Mongols in northern Shaanxi, a large number of displaced people have gathered here, and the misery of the situation makes people cry blatantly, many children are hungry and crying, and the powerless mother can only cry secretly, and even the cold is not enough, and the government does not dare to let these people into Xi'an City for the sake of stability. Feng Youcai didn't have the heart to continue to visit the city. Originally, I decided not to help people outside my own territory anymore.,But when have the otaku seen this tragic situation in the past from the modern society.,So on the way back, I decided to help it.,Save as much as you can.,And there's a lot of torn sheepskin jackets worn by Mongolians in his own system warehouse.,It's just divided.,Or take up space.γ
After returning to the house, Feng Youcai arranged for Zhan Hu and Liu Wen to provide relief to these displaced people, as long as one person in the family meets the standard of the security army, the whole family can be moved to their own thousand households, and as long as the remaining people can keep up with the large army, those who are willing to go to their own thousand households can also follow, but they have to march 80 miles every day, and it is estimated that many people will not be able to persevere, which can be regarded as an elimination.
Since there was no way to test jogging, Liu Wen put forward a request: first-class households, as long as they can lift the 100-pound stone lock 10 times in a row, and are willing to accept the arrangement, they will ensure that the whole family is well fed and wears warm clothes; Second-class households, as long as they can lift 50 catties of stone locks 10 times in a row, and are willing to accept the arrangement, their family members each have 2 bowls of dry rice, and children under the age of 10 can receive 1 piece of sheepskin and 1 piece of torn jacket; As for the rest of the personnel, it can only be 2 bowls of porridge per day; Special talents: those who are skilled in horseback riding or bow and arrow can enjoy the treatment of first-class households; Scholars such as stonemasons or blacksmiths or showmen also enjoy the treatment of first-class households; Shopkeepers, bookkeepers, or skilled ladies can also enjoy first-class treatment.
Feng Youcai thought that he was going to speed up the pace of development, or the peasant uprising in the northwest would happen sooner or later, and countless people would die.
In the evening, after making up for the grain that was taken away from the warehouse today, Feng Youcai returned to Yinchuan, as for the matter here, let Lu Buqian arrange it.
