Entering August, the climate has become abnormal, Zheng Xunrui has been in Yansui for three years, and has a general understanding of the climate here, the spring is the dry season in Yansui, there is very little rain, May to the month is the main rainfall season, as for the heavy snow in November of the fourth year of Chongzhen, it was an accident, but this year's climate is indeed abnormal, from August to month, not a drop of rain has fallen, such a situation, Chongzhen's first year has appeared, leading to Chongzhen's two years of drought and famine.

The words of the old military household came true, Zheng Xunrui is almost certain that another big climate disaster has arrived, although it is said that all parts of Yansui have made preparations, but they must not ignore the upcoming next big disaster because they are prepared.

Until the end of the month, the climate gradually became cold, the merchants from all over Yansui and Shanxi and other places transported a large amount of grain, according to the price of four taels and five dollars of silver, sold to the governor Yamen 300,000 stone of grain, its 100,000 stone grain was transported to Yan'an Mansion, 50,000 stone grain was transported to Qingyang Mansion, 150,000 stone was transported to the Zheng Jiajun barracks, Zheng Jinhong and Hong Xintao, and the Mongolian tribes of the contact and trade were all done, the expenditure of the silver two was basically the same, Zheng Jiajun only took out 150,000 taels of silver, It earned 250,000 stone of grain, which was a very successful transaction, as for the trade of war horses, it was temporarily stopped, and in just two years, the Mongol tribes provided Wu Qian Wu Bai Pi Uzhumuqin horses, and in a short period of time, they could no longer provide more war horses.

When all the grain arrived, the governor Yamen conducted a detailed statistics, Yan'an Mansion had the largest grain stockpile, with 470,000 stone of grain, Qingyang Mansion had 110,000 stone of grain, Zhengjiajun barracks had 380,000 stone, and Yulin General Military Mansion had 80,000 stone.

After all, the people's homes still have grain in stock, and the governor's yamen and the prefect's yamen, as well as the prefecture and county yamen, have long issued notices that the people are not allowed to trade grain, so they can trade vegetables and vegetables, etc., and the grain must stay, in fact, the abnormal climate since August has made many people understand that the coming year may not be good, and the grain must be saved.

October is the season for the sowing of winter wheat, and the governor Yamen issued a special letter to the Qingyang Mansion and the General Military Office of Yan'an Prefecture, requiring all localities to strictly control the sowing area of winter wheat, and not to sow large areas, lest there be no harvest of winter wheat due to drought.

After the book was issued, Zheng Xunrui was not at ease, and specially invited Zhen Meng and Dong Gongming.

Dong Gongming's time in Shaanxi continued, and he also understood the climate here, and after receiving the 50,000 stone of grain allocated by the governor's yamen, he immediately understood what was going on, so after receiving the letter from the governor's yamen, he quickly implemented it, requiring the prefectures and counties to implement it to the letter, so as not to cause the common people to suffer greater losses.

Zhenheng is not very clear, after all, he has not been in office for a long time, and after carefully explaining with the acquaintance Ma Zhukui and the general judge Sun Qimeng, he understood a little and sent the book to the state and county.

Zheng Xunrui and Dong Gongming, the prefect of Qingyang Mansion, did not talk for a long time, many things, Dong Gongming is clear, even more familiar than him, he already knows how to deal with it, but Dong Gongming is a little surprised, this relief or matters prepared in advance should be the responsibility of the imperial court, I can't imagine that the governor Yamen has prepared in advance, the place under the jurisdiction of Qingyang Mansion is not large, and it is located in the Ministry of Shaanxi, even if there is a famine, there will not be many displaced people from other places, so the pressure will not be very great, This is completely different from the situation in Yan'an Prefecture, and the common people have a certain amount of grain in stock, and there are 110,000 stone of grain in the treasury, which is enough to cope with the famine in the coming year.

Jung Hoon-rui focuses on talking to Jin-hyung.

Zhenheng has always been an official in the capital, and most of them are in the imperial court department, and he may not have a special understanding of the following things, although he has experience as an official, but many things at the grassroots level need to be studied seriously, and Zhenheng has not been in office for a long time, and in the face of the upcoming famine, if there is no good place, it may cause a huge shock.

Zhen Meng entered the wing room, saw the map on the table, a little strange, after carefully posing the map, Zhen Heng's face changed slightly, this is a map of Yansui all over the place, which clearly marks the situation of the displaced people who can enter Yansui all over the place, mainly Pingyang Mansion in Taiyuan Mansion in Shanxi, Pingliang Mansion in Xi'an Mansion in Shaanxi, Huaiqing Mansion in Henan Province, Baoning Mansion in Sichuan Kuizhou Mansion and other places, Zhen Heng knows very well that if there is a famine, the displaced people in these places will all pour into Yansui, and all the places in Yansui will definitely collapse, I can't cope with it at all.

"Qingyang, how do you judge that there may be a famine next year."

"The third master, many local old military households, as well as old farmers, are familiar with the climate, they have suffered too many famines, is to pay special attention to the climate, after I arrived in Shaanxi, I am also concerned about the climate, this is related to the life and death of the people, can not have the slightest negligence, from August, until the month, a full two months, the rain has not fallen, such a situation, Chongzhen appeared in the first year, the result of the two-year famine, leading to chaos in Yansui all over the country."

Zhenheng nodded.

"I know, Master Ma and Master Sun also said the same, saying that it is the book of the governor's yamen, and it must be resolutely implemented."

"Yansui all over the country, to deal with next year's famine, the problem is not very big, the people are ready to store grain, if it is difficult to continue, the government also has food relief, the biggest problem is the matter of the displaced people, I heard that the situation in Shanxi, Henan and other places, and Shaanxi is the same, which indicates that Shanxi and Henan may also encounter a famine, at that time, there will be a large number of displaced people, these displaced people poured into Yansui all over the country, is the biggest problem."

"Qingyang, are you thinking too much, the victims in Shanxi and Henan should be relieved by the local government."

"Third master, do you know, the local government rejects the homeless, this is a well-known situation, whenever there are homeless, the county and county of Fuzhou are closed, and the homeless are strictly forbidden to enter, and some places even hunt down the homeless."

"This, how can the local government do this?"

"There are many reasons, some local governments are unable to provide relief to a large number of displaced people, once the relief of the imperial court cannot be in place, they have no choice but to take the method of blocking, lest the city is also chaotic, so that it cannot be maintained, and there are some officials who may not care about the life and death of the people."

Speaking of the imperial court, Zhenheng sighed slightly, he knew very well that in the face of a large-scale famine, the imperial court really couldn't take out the silver, and could only take the method of exempting taxes, but this method had no effect, and there would still be a large number of people starving to death.

"Qingyang, relying on Yansui to relieve the victims is not good, the number of displaced people is too large, and they can't take care of it at all, no matter how much food they have, it will not work, unless it is coordinated by the imperial court."

Zheng Xunrui's face showed a sneer.

"Third master, do you think the imperial court can coordinate and coordinate, if you can't get money and food, why should you co-ordinate and coordinate."

Zhenheng looked at Zheng Xunrui and did not speak.

"In fact, the imperial court is co-ordinated, it's not impossible, but it's a pity that some adults in the court think of their own interests and solve the famine in the north, which requires the help of the south, if the court can transfer some grain from the south, it can solve a big problem, but in today's situation, can the court mobilize a grain from the south, and those scholars in the south are willing to take out the grain."

Zhenheng was stunned for a moment, and slowly spoke.

"Qingyang, if you don't say it, I didn't expect that from the Apocalypse to the Chongzhen period, there were a lot of famines, but the imperial court's way of dealing with it was a little different."

When Zhen Meng said this, Zheng Xunrui opened his mouth unceremoniously.

"During the apocalypse, the eunuch dictatorship, they did all the bad things, but once there was a famine, they were still able to mobilize food from the south or the north, and now the eunuch party was destroyed, but unfortunately the court could not transfer a grain of grain, isn't this a great irony, some adults of the imperial court, keep saying that it is for the people, and the things they do, which point is considered for the people, the southern businessmen are rich, but they do not pay taxes, the people are struggling on the death line, and the taxes are increasing, If this situation continues, will the imperial court be able to sustain it? ”

Zhenheng's face turned pale, of course he knew what Zheng Xunrui meant, but if you think about it carefully, this is indeed the reality, since the first year of Chongzhen, the north has suffered a large-scale famine, and the south is indifferent, unwilling to lend a hand to help, and some adults still propose that they hide wealth from the people and cannot increase the burden on the south.

"Qingyang, I understand what you mean, it seems that I don't know a lot of things, not only me, but my eldest brother may not know the reasons inside, and it is impossible to know these things if I don't come to experience it anywhere."

"Yan'an Mansion has the most grain stocks, and during the famine season, Yan'an Mansion is also under the greatest pressure, so the burden of the third master is very heavy, it is impossible to prevent the displaced people from entering, and it is even more impossible to watch them starve to death.
