Chapter 27 Advice

Once the township brave regiments in each township and village practice and can't stop these displaced people, the village may be broken in an instant, and those hungry and anxious people rush into the village, but as long as they can find property and food, they will all be looted, especially for those rich families who are not benevolent to the rich, the means are extremely cruel, slaughtering all the whole family, snatching all the things that can be robbed, and even before leaving, they have to set fire to the village.

The officials in various places suddenly began to feel nervous, and constantly mobilized the officers and troops to clean up these thieves who gathered together, and at first they could have some results, after all, the common people habitually feared these officers and soldiers in their hearts, and once they saw the officers and soldiers attacking them, they often dispersed in a hurry.

However, this situation did not last long, although the displaced people were also afraid of the official army, but after all, they had to find food, to live, and gradually some large groups of thieves were not too afraid of the official army, if they encountered a small number of officers and soldiers, they no longer scattered and fled in all directions as before, but under the leadership of some daring people, they began to confront the official army.

The ordinary officers and soldiers do not look at the usual bravails in front of the common people, but the vast majority of the soldiers among them can only be regarded as armed serfs of some generals, and they do not have much combat effectiveness, and can even be regarded as peasants wearing military uniforms at best.

So the urgent documents suddenly began to fly like snowflakes to Fuzhou City, the capital of Fujian, and flew into the governor's yamen.

After Xiong Wencan fell into this overwhelming emergency document in August, he became the captain of the fire brigade, and when he opened his eyes every day, he saw a large number of emergency documents, and then he began to dispatch troops to fight these thieves in various places.

But the actual situation is that the more and more thieves are killed, and the big and small thieves are springing up everywhere like mushrooms after a rain, and no matter how Xiong Wencan tries his best, he can't solve this problem.

So Xiong Wencan once again thought of his confidant General Xiaotian Yu, and ordered Yu Xiaotian to dispatch troops to be responsible for exterminating the bandits in Zhangquan, after September, with the Yanping Mansion and Tingzhou Mansion in a hurry, Xiong Wencan had no choice but to order Yu Xiaotian to send troops into these two mansions to help suppress.

Yu Xiaotian also really led his troops or sent troops to eliminate several groups of fierce and cruel bandits in one fell swoop, but soon he realized that this was actually just blocking, and it was completely impossible to fundamentally solve the problem.

In fact, most of them are just ordinary homeless people, just for a bite to eat, and they have to take risks as a last resort, so they will do this business with their heads in their hands.

After realizing this, Yu Xiaotian was not angry but happy, isn't this just a great news for him?

All along, he has been secretly and secretly collecting displaced people from the land or persuading some landless people to move to the island of Taiwan to cultivate for him and open up all parts of the island.

In addition to spending a lot of manpower and material resources, he must also be careful to guard against being alerted by the government and someone using this to impeach him.

Sometimes, in order to persuade some people to leave their homeland and settle down on the island of Taiwan, they have to use all kinds of words to persuade them to leave their homeland and even be deceived, and even strong means have been used to get some people on ships and transport them to various places on the island.

But now there is no need to work so hard, and when I open my eyes, outside the cities, there are homeless people everywhere, and these homeless people are all hungry and thin-skinned, and even because of hunger, people have become numb.

Some women, even for a piece of bread, are willing to sell their bodies, just to be able to eat something to live, and some parents, in order to let their children live, have to sell their children cheaply, hoping that the rich will be merciful and take in their children, even without money, just give them a bucket of rice and they will be thankful.

It can be said that as long as you give them a stutter, these hungry people don't care what they want them to do now, as long as they give them a bite to eat, they will follow you, and as for where they will go in the future, it is no longer a matter for them to consider.

So after Yu Xiaotian figured it out, he immediately hit the road, took some personal guards, and quickly rushed to Fuzhou City to meet Xiong Wencan.

Recently, Xiong Wencan has been anxious about the disaster victims and disaster relief, and even his temper has become a lot worse, and his subordinates have been reprimanded a lot, and they are busy with their feet not touching the ground, and suddenly I heard that Yu Xiaotian is not recruiting himself, Xiong Wencan is busy dealing with things, so he is not angry and let Yu Xiaotian wait outside first.

But his subordinates also knew that Yu Xiaotian was a celebrity in front of Xiong Wencan, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he let him go to the side hall and served tea first.

Xiong Wencan was busy for a while, and then he remembered that Yu Xiaotian was still hanging outside, so he beckoned his subordinates to recruit Yu Xiaotian into the study.

When he saw Yu Xiaotian walking into his study with a relaxed face, Xiong Wencan couldn't help but feel a little angry, and snorted coldly with a straight face: "You don't go to arrange the thieves, why do you suddenly come to the old man without recruiting yourself?" ”

Yu Xiaotian hurriedly accompanied Xiong Wencan with a smile on his face, and said to Xiong Wencan with a smile: "Lord Qiqi, I came here this time, I have something important to discuss with my lord!" ”

Xiong Wencan said angrily: "What is the important thing that can be more important than the current matter of suppressing thieves?" You said! ”

Yu Xiaotian laughed a few times, and glanced at the servants who were waiting next to him, Xiong Wencan knew that Yu Xiaotian was discussing with him today, and it was estimated that he was unwilling to let more people know about it, so he snorted coldly and waved his hand to blast out the idle people.

"Say it! What do you want to discuss with the old man when you come here this time? ”

"Lord Qiqi, I have been thinking about it for a long time in order to suppress thieves these days, and suddenly I had an idea to solve this trouble once and for all! I don't know if Lord Lu Dao wants to listen to it or not! Yu Xiaotian first bought Xiong Wencan a pass.

Xiong Wencan is feeling a headache for this matter, although he has played the imperial court, hoping that the imperial court can allocate some relief food to Fujian, and reduce some additional distribution for Fujian, but according to his understanding of the current situation, he also knows that the possibility of the imperial court allocating disaster relief grain is extremely small, and now the northern provinces have been in drought for many years, and the disaster is more serious than that of Fujian, but the imperial court has not been able to allocate much relief money and grain, for Fujian, it is even more impossible for the imperial court to allocate a large amount of relief money and grain, as for the reduction and exemption of additional distribution, Not to mention it.

Nowadays, Liaodong Jiannu is becoming more and more arrogant, and the imperial court continues to increase troops to Liaodong, such an action will definitely cost a lot of food and salary, with the current financial situation of the imperial court, it is impossible to maintain it without additional distribution, even so, Liaodong still has a long-term arrears of wages from time to time, and there have been many mutinies recently, so it is basically unlikely that the imperial court will reduce or increase the dispatch of Fujian.

However, he really does not have enough money and food on hand to provide disaster relief, and if he has no money or food, he will naturally not be able to save the victims, and the victims will naturally not sit idly by if they have nothing to eat.

But not by suppression, he has no better way at the moment, can not sit back and watch these homeless people gather Hulai, can only send troops to suppress it, now Fujian can be said to press the gourd to float the scoop, day by day the situation is more and more chaotic, but he has never been able to think of a perfect way.

Although he is very good at appeasement, and those thieves are willing to accept appeasement, but the premise is that after Zhao'an, you have to give them food, it just so happens that he doesn't have so much food on hand, even if Zhao'an is called, as long as the food supply is cut off, these thieves will continue to rebel.

When Yu Xiaotian said that he had a solution to this trouble once and for all, Xiong Wencan's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he immediately stood up and said urgently: "You say it quickly!" What's your best idea? Oh! Sit down and talk! Come on, watch the tea! ”

Yu Xiaotian then sat down in a chair, and someone hurriedly brought in a bowl of tea from outside, and then hurriedly retreated.

Yu Xiaotian said to Xiong Wencan at this time: "Lord Qiqi, in fact, this civil unrest in various parts of Fujian is fundamentally because of the lack of food to eat, so that the people are not able to make a living, so they have to take risks and become thieves!"

If we want to solve this trouble, there are only two ways: one is to force the rich people and the gentry in various parts of Fujian to force them to open warehouses for the grain they have stored, and strictly control the price of grain in the market. As a last resort, you can only let go and kill some outlaws.

But doing so will definitely cause a backlash from many gentry and relatives, and Lord Yu's career in the future may be unfavorable, and it will really offend many people!

Some time ago, I thought of a way to force them to pay money and grain, and in several prefectures and counties, I persuaded the local rich people and large families as well as merchants and gentry to donate, these people were not willing to give money and grain, but outside the gate of these prefectures and counties, a merit monument was erected, showing the public, and the names of the people who donated money and grain were engraved on the tablet, and the amount of money and grain they donated was clearly marked.

In this way, it has played some role, some gentry and large families and merchants, although they are rich and unkind, but they still want to save face, and when they see the humble monument, they have to take out more money and food to buy a reputation for the sake of face.

In this way, a batch of money and food was raised, and some relief was given to some of the victims! ......" Saying this, Yu Xiaotian paused for a moment.
