Chapter 4: The Dragon Sees the Head and Sees the End (2)
Although Xue Li is very respectful and modest, he also loses no time in exaggerating everything that can be praised here.
Yuan Zhong has heard the name of Xue Li for a long time, because the Xue clan is a rare family in Xiangxian County with a world of 2,000 stones, Yuan Zhong has visited the Xue clan in Zhengyang many times. When chatting, the people of the Xue clan are often proud of the young and promising rising star Xue Li, and they do not hesitate to praise them.
Then he spoke: "You may not know that Xue Jun from his father, Yanzhou, one of the eight handsome, did not drive Xue Lan, and recently moved back to his hometown Xiang County from Tan County, Xuzhou. Xue Jun's name should still be in Xiangxian, but he is an authentic Peiguo person! Isn't it, Xue Jun? ”
Xue Li hurriedly got up and returned: "What the Ming Mansion said is true. Because Changyi is far away from Tan County and homesick, Uncle Li Cong has already dealt with the house and returned to his hometown in the first month of this year. The name of the ceremony has indeed been in Peiguo, contributing to the people of his hometown, fortunately! ”
The number of names, that is, the household version, is what a certain dynasty people call household registration.
Next, Yuan Zhong signaled Xue Li to avoid it, because he wanted to talk about the main topic of this meeting, but was stopped by Huang Wan: "Renda is no longer an outsider, it doesn't hurt to listen to it, maybe he can come up with a good idea!" ”
There are two topics at the meeting, one is food, and the second is food! However, there are slight differences between the two grains, one is the summer "fake seed food", that is, the loan of seeds to farmers; The other is the supply of food for disaster relief, which is a big gap because there are many people affected by the disaster, and it is necessary to continue to supply it until the autumn harvest.
Yuzhou Shucao engaged in Zheng Yu and Kong Fang and others for most of the day, and came to the conclusion that there was still a gap of at least 800,000 Hu.
800,000 Hu!
As soon as this number came out, everyone lost their color, and the scene suddenly fell silent.
The Han system Hu is a volume unit, a Hu barley is about 48 Han catties, 800,000 Hu nearly 40 million catties! Based on 248 grams of one Han catty, it is equivalent to nearly 10 million kilograms of barley.
"The wind and rain in Lu are smooth, and Yingchuan and the southern part of Runan are also due to the early storage of water in the Honghepi Reservoir rebuilt by Deng Xihua during the Jianwu period, and the damage is very light, so can't we collect some more from the three counties?" Yuan Zhong was the first to break the silence, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was unwilling.
"Wonderful! If it weren't for Deng Hou's feat, the people of my two counties would have suffered greatly, and it can also be seen that water conservancy rejuvenates the people! Lai Min sighed that the ancestors of the two families were close ministers of the ancestors, and they were all generations of people.
Ying Shao, the chief bookkeeper of Runan, immediately reminded Yuan Zhongdao: "Ming Mansion, this factor has already been taken into account. Lu State and Ruying County have requisitioned grain to the limit, and there is no possibility of re-leviation. Besides, even the Hongqipi Reservoir has been drying up recently, and the disaster situation in northern Ru and Yingbei is not trivial. ”
Xun You, the official of Yingchuan, also sighed: "The big families with grain in this county have been persuaded to donate many times, and it is extremely difficult to ask for it again!" ”
"It's hard to keep every hungry person from starving! You can find a place where it is important to give you relief first. Chen Guogong and Cao Yuan also said. It was clear that he was reminding everyone that Chen Guo was the most important.
“……”
When everyone was talking, Huang Wan didn't interject. Seeing that no one was talking, he stood up and said, "Listening to the words of the kings, it seems that there is no way out, can you just watch hundreds of thousands of victims starve to death?" ”
No one talked. Everyone's faces were a little embarrassed or embarrassed, after all, the food gap is so huge, who can solve it?
Huang Wan glanced around solemnly, and said sharply: "I, Huang Wan, must not sit idly by and watch the victims suffer, absolutely not!" ”
Huang Wan turned to Yuan Zhong and said, "Zhengfu, how many soldiers and horses do you have?" ”
"This ...... There were still 5,000 infantry troops and 1,000 horse troops in the county. There are 21 counties in the county, with a total of more than 10,000 county soldiers and about 500 horse troops. Yuan Zhong didn't know what Huang Wan meant, and replied with a slight hesitation.
Huang Wan looked at everyone, pondered for a while, and said, "I already have a plan, but I haven't played the Ming court yet." Nowadays, the thieves and yellow turban thieves in our state have been swept away. I intend to spread the word to the counties, disperse the large number of soldiers recruited during the time of the thieves, leave behind the necessary weapons and horses, and send the rest to the other counties for food. I made a rough estimate that I could get at least four or five hundred thousand grains of grain. As soon as the matter is decided, it will be played as soon as possible, and I expect that the Son of Heaven will be pleased with it. Let's think about it, and see how it can be done. ”
As soon as this statement came out, there were those who agreed, those who opposed, and those who did not say no. And smart people such as Xun You, Yuan Zhong, etc., can hear that Huang Wan has decided on this policy, this is not to ask you whether to do it, but to ask how you want to do it. But there are some dead brains to stand up against it, especially when Huang Wanping was a thief, the soldier Cao who made great contributions to engage in Mi Xiang (the ancient "elk" is "Mi", and the moose and Mi Shi are the same surname), his reason is, how can you protect the territory and the people without an army? What if the Yellow Turban thieves see that there are few soldiers in the county and rise again, we will not be able to protect ourselves at that time, can we still gain a foothold in Yuzhou?
As soon as Mi Xiang's voice fell, he was immediately reprimanded by Huang Wan, "I have swept away the Yellow Turban in Yuzhou, and the thieves are terrified, how can they come back?" Qing is from a poor family, An can put his own safety at risk, regardless of the life and death of the people? I've made up my mind about this matter, so don't be alarmist! ”
Mi Xiang said that his face was full of shame, and he bowed his head and retreated.
He was Huang Wan's extremely important confidant, but he was scolded like this by Huang Wan, which was like a frame to shut everyone up.
Huang Wan's meaning is obvious, I will discuss with you how to do it, not for you to object. If you oppose it, you come up with a plan to save the people!
The scene was suddenly a little awkward.
The only 2,000-stone official present who could be slightly compared to Huang Wan, Pei Xiang Yuan Zhong, spoke: "Although the Ming envoy's strategy is good, it is not easy to recruit and train the soldiers of the county!" How difficult it is to build weapons and buy horses! I have a strategy called the method of increasing the army and reducing hunger, which is not only not to disarm, but to conscript the hungry into the army, so as to reduce the number of hungry people. How? ”
Li Cheng, who was engaged in the ministry and county, said: "It is difficult for the government to implement this policy, because the soldiers eat too much and the military food is not enough. A soldier's consumption is more than three times that of a hungry man, and a hungry man can still work after eating a little full once a day. A soldier had to eat two full meals a day, and other consumptions, and if they were to be supplied according to the standards of the hungry, they would have to mutiny. In addition, the thieves in the realm are leveled, and then in the name of disaster relief, and the fact that the army is expanded internally, the Son of Heaven is not suspicious, and the powerful ministers and rulers can be resigned? If this is the case, the king is in danger, and the safety of Yuzhou is tied to the king, then Yuzhou will no longer be peaceful! ”
When Li Cheng spoke, Yuan Zhong kept wiping his sweat, especially a few words, Yuan Zhong couldn't sit still when he heard it, "What Li Jun said is very true, what he said is very true, I owe it to consideration!" ”
Huang Wan stroked his beard with his hands, his eyes were cold, and he said loudly: "I was entrusted by the Son of Heaven to come to protect the people. If there is another way, how can I do this? If you can help me, help me, if you can't help me, don't stop me with your own selfishness! ”
