Chapter 400 Accumulate grain and build a high wall
Above the nine heavens, Lu Qian floated under a cloud, looking down on all living beings.
To the east, the wealthy merchants in those mansions were instructing their subordinates to pack up their burdens, load them into carriages, and prepare to leave Heishui County overnight.
Not far away, in the Fang Market, the teahouse restaurant closed its doors and did not open the market.
Even those women in the flower building were lying on the carved railing, worried.
The pedestrians on the road were all frowning, their steps were fast, they were clutching their money bags in their waists, and their eyes were full of vigilance and hostility when they looked at the admirals on the left and right sides of the long street.
The atmosphere in the city was tense and uneasy, as if the enemy country was about to attack.
"Dad! Our dyeing workshop has been open for more than 50 years, and this is sold? This is the painstaking effort of our Confucian family! We haven't sold it even after the Great Gloomy Empire, so why are we selling it now? It's still sold at a low price! Where are we going to go after selling it, and what are we going to eat?"
In a compound, a girl in Tsing Yi was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Beside her, there was an old man in yellow with a worried brow, who sighed and replied, "Daughter, this time is different. You weren't in Xishan just now, and you didn't see the scene of the people's heads rolling, and you were scared to death! That Youzhou King Lu Qian was really as the Cai family said, brutal, cold-blooded, and extremely greedy, he raided the homes of the four great scholars, and the next step was definitely to go on a rampage! Don't you see it? The town navy sergeants are all planted at the street corner!"
"But that's not what the merchants over there in Qingzhou said! They said that Lu Qian, the king of Youzhou, was wise and powerful, and he was unparalleled in the world......
The girl in Tsing Yi frowned and argued.
Before he finished speaking, the old man in yellow frowned and interrupted: "You haven't even been out of Heishui County, how do you know if those merchants in Qingzhou are telling the truth? Let's go! Leave overnight! If you don't leave, that guy Lu Qian might send someone to arrest you and go to bed and give birth to twenty children!"
"Huh?
The delicate body of the girl in Tsing Yi trembled, and her pupils were very large.
"Are you afraid?" asked the old man in yellow.
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid!" the girl in Tsing Yi touched her stomach, her face was full of fear, and she nodded like pounding garlic.
"Why don't you pack up your things?"
"Well, my daughter is going to pack her baggage!"
......
Lu Qian pricked up his ears and listened to the sound of a hundred miles away, his expression gradually cold.
The situation is indeed not encouraging.
This time the family was a bit ruthless, and coupled with the rumors among the people, he has now become a murderous demon like Dong Zhuo.
The influence of the four great clans in Youzhou for more than 2,000 years is really not so easy to eliminate.
"Lao Lu, everyone is here. ”
At this time, a streamer shot from the sky, revealing the figure of the old criminal.
Lu Gan nodded, turned into a blue light, threw himself into the palace, fell into the main hall, and shot directly into it.
"See the prince!"
In the main hall, a group of people stood up and saluted solemnly.
"Excuse me, please be seated. ”
Lu Qian bowed slightly, turned around, sat down with a golden knife, and said straight to the point: "Ladies and gentlemen, this king summoned you here to appease the people of Youzhou! They are now panicked and extremely frightened, and they all think that this king is a greedy and murderous devil. Is there anything you can do about it?"
Everyone looked at each other and fell into a deep groan.
After a while, a middle-aged man in a purple robe bowed his hand and said, "Lord Wang, everyone in Youzhou is in danger because they are biased towards the four major scholar clans, they are prejudiced against the prince, and they are afraid that the prince will treat them the same way as the four major scholar clans. As...... Evacuate the town navy?"
"No way!"
Lu Gan vetoed on the spot: "As soon as the town navy withdraws, I am afraid that some people will take advantage of the fire to loot, and when the time comes, riots will break out, and I am afraid that this pot will have to be carried by this king again!
When everyone saw it, they also felt that it was not unreasonable.
Immediately afterwards, a tall and thin old man in a black robe stroked his beard and said, "Lord Wang, appeasing people's hearts is nothing more than coercion and temptation. I'm afraid it's not okay to coerce the city to close the city, so it's better to lure!"
"Oh, what's the lure?"
Lu Qian asked with interest.
"Send money. ”
The black-robed old man said a simple and rude way.
As soon as these words came out, some people immediately objected: "No, no, no." You have money, and the people of Youzhou turn their heads and run away, isn't it a bamboo basket to draw water?"
Then a scholar in a Confucian robe bowed his hand and said: "According to the humble opinion, the mountains do not turn around, the people of Youzhou want to leave, let them go, we can lead the people from other places in." As the so-called peach and plum are self-explanatory, Youzhou has a good geographical location, beautiful mountains and rivers, and there will always be people coming. ”
"It's okay for you, but it's different now. ”
The black-robed old man shook his head and sighed: "This person's heart is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, chase up and down, everyone runs outside Youzhou, it will make people feel that Youzhou is a terrifying place, who will run over when the time comes?"
"Actually, the prince doesn't need to panic. ”
At this time, a white-robed woman smiled and said, "The people will not be willing to leave their homes unless they are forced to do so." As long as the prince stabilizes the first wave of people who left, it will be easy to deal with later. ”
Reasonable!
Lu Qian's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded and asked, "Please continue." ”
The white-robed woman said: "This people are panicking, one is worried about their lives, the other is worried about their wealth and property, and the third is worried about the urgency of storing grain in Youzhou, and they can't buy food." In fact, as long as the prince is willing to send money and open a warehouse to sell grain, he will show that he is not greedy and murderous, but a good man who loves the people like a son! Of course, this is also the case!"
can actually see his inner quality through his wise and martial appearance, and he has a vision!
Lu Qian decided to promote her later.
"What if the people take the money and food and run away?"
The black-robed old man asked.
The white-robed woman smiled meaningfully: "The people of Youzhou can only go to Qingzhou and Pipa Zhou by land, and to Nuzhou by land and water, or Lingzhou beyond. Now that the navy of Wangye Town is in hand, the sea is directly blocked, and the people can only take the land route. But Qingzhou is where the prince has been before, and Princess Mingyue of Pipa Island is a friend of the prince, so I just need to inform you, aren't the people of Youzhou coming back obediently?"
When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized!
"It's just that how to send money and food can make the people of Youzhou grateful, which is also very sophisticated. Otherwise, a large amount of money will pour into the market, I am afraid that it will cause prices to soar, and there will be a phenomenon of dozens of dollars per pound of pork. ”
The white-robed woman frowned.
Inflation?
Lu Gan tapped on the handrail, pondered for a while, and said: "Three days later, this king is going to take stock of the population of Youzhou and count the number of people! Make up household stickers! Wait for household stickers to be compiled into a book, and pay according to the person! At the same time, from tomorrow onwards, open warehouses to sell grain and stabilize prices!"
Everyone was stunned, vaguely understanding.
"How much does this cost?"
The white-robed woman asked.
"One or two pieces of silver. Lu Qian narrowed his eyes slightly: "This is enough to stabilize most of the people in Youzhou." Then, ask General Ling to go to Nuzhou to purchase grain!"
Everyone was shocked.
Youzhou is more than a billion people! Even if those servants don't count, one person and one or two silver, wouldn't they just throw more than a billion silver out?
That's too generous!
The old criminal Dao next to him had round eyes and muttered secretly.
Could it be that Lao Lu was taken away?
In a trance, he remembered that the stupid son of the village chief's family was also such a loser.
"Lord Wang, isn't it a bit much?"
The white-robed woman frowned slightly.
Lu Qian waved his hand: "Those silver are useless in the vault, only circulation will generate value, stimulate consumption, and make all industries prosperous." Besides, no amount of silver is released, and eventually it will be collected and returned to the treasury. Also, the Xuanhuang Academy is ready to open!"
Xuanhuang Academy?
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but move in their hearts, this is a big killer, once it is built, I am afraid it will be able to stabilize some people's hearts.
"Could it be that the Xuanhuang Academy has a connection with the household post just now?"
The white-robed woman suddenly thought of something, and her eyes lit up.
"Hmm. ”
Lu Gan nodded: "After checking the population and compiling household stickers, according to the principle of proximity, divide the children of the people to study in Xuanhuang Academy." ”
In this way, aren't the people fixed in the place where the household stickers are located?
"The prince is wise! I am waiting to admire!"
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they bowed in unison, all of them were happy and convinced.
"Also, this king wants to build a Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, but all officials who have served in Youzhou for more than five years can choose a Xuan-level martial art in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and more than ten years, they can choose a ground-level martial art. ”
Lu Qian said another astonishing sentence.
"This ...... The prince's intentions were good!But, I'm afraid no one would believe it!" The white-robed woman frowned.
"This king is a disciple of His Majesty, and he is also the future head of the Xuanhuang Sect, so there are only some martial arts secrets, why bother?"
Lu Qian smiled indifferently.
As soon as these words came out, everyone reacted, and standing in front of them was a peerless genius who had broken off the past and the present! A Flying Heaven Realm master who was less than twenty years old!
The crowd bowed deeply again.
"Alright, let's go back and put up the notice. If you can't keep money, free reading, and martial arts cheats, let them go. ”
Lu Qian waved his hand.
"Yes!"
A group of temporary county guards bowed and retired.
"The last general also asked people to prepare to go to Nuzhou to purchase grain! I don't know how much the King of Divine Warriors wants to purchase?"
Ling Mo got up and asked with a solemn bow.
Lu Qian's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the blue and white clouds fluttering sky, and said loudly: "Ten million gold, all the food and medicinal materials are purchased!"
“...... Yes!"
Ling Mo didn't ask why, and left directly.
"Lao Lu, you don't have a fever, do you?10 million taels of gold?" Xing Lao Dao took a sip of wine and asked with a shocked face.
Lu Qian shook his head, and spit out seven words with a bright eye:
"The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings. ”
