Chapter 804: Persistence

Hearing this, Jiang Nuan was completely aware of the seriousness of the matter, and couldn't help but doubt, "Is it true that only 100,000 people were affected?" ”

I always feel that this number is underreported a lot.

The ground movement was originally a major disaster, coupled with the continuous torrential rain, just thinking about it, you can understand how difficult it is for the people of Shudi.

If nothing else, the number of people who suffer from the wind chill alone will not be a small number.

"One hundred thousand is just the least number of people expected," Liu An's voice deepened, "When the secret guard came out of Shudi, the earth movement had just happened, and it took two days of rain to get out of Shudi, and this number was only an extrapolation based on his experience. ”

"Then how do you know that it has been raining heavily in Shudi? Someone coming back? ”

"No, it's calculated by Qin Tianjian," Liu An snorted coldly, "They only have this little effect left." ”

The ground moved twice in succession, but there was no movement on Qin Tianjian's side, like a dead man.

It's just spending money to raise a bunch of garbage!

If this little thing can't be done well, and they all go home to tell fortunes without impeachment, he won't be surnamed Liu!

"Qin Tianjian will still do this?"

"Of course," Liu An snorted coldly, "The mountain doctor's fortune is Qin Tianjian's ability to eat, and he didn't count the two ground movements, if he makes a mistake this time, this pavilion will definitely let all these liars go back to their hometown." ”

Regarding these credible or unbelievable things, Jiang Nuan has always adhered to the attitude of not making evaluations and did not answer.

Liu An didn't care, and continued to talk to himself, "I don't know what's going on this year, I haven't encountered a good thing since spring, and I've been suffering from many disasters." Now it's even more eventful.

If the grain in Wolf Mountain hadn't been burned by the family, it wouldn't be completely helpless now. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Nuan paused, "The Holy Lord let me enter the palace, but it's because of food?" ”

"Yes," Liu An looked helpless, "Although the ground movement in Ji is not serious, it also needs to be dealt with, no food is not good, Shu is even more so, when encountering such a situation, the people who were lucky to survive from the ground movement have also become homeless, if they are not handled carefully, the entire Shu land will riot."

In the Bashu area, the folk customs are already strong, and once there is a riot, no one can predict what will happen later. ”

"Don't just pay attention to food," Jiang Nuan said, "Relief work, post-disaster reconstruction and even epidemic prevention have to be dealt with." ”

"As the saying goes, there will be a big epidemic after a catastrophe, and we really need to pay more attention," Liu An thought deeply, "It's just ......"

"Just what?"

"The ground movement has changed the terrain, and it is not easy for outsiders to enter, and they can only rely on themselves for everything, and there may not be many people who think of this."

"Forget it, don't talk about it," Jiang Nuan said after a long silence, "Let's go to the palace first." ”

In the imperial study, Ji Xuan sat on the dragon chair with a deep face.

"Holy Lord," An Qingyun arched his hand, "The minister has already dispatched people to organize people to open up the official road to and from Bashu as soon as possible." ”

"The minister also asked people to prepare medicinal materials, and has arranged for the imperial doctor of the Imperial Doctor Department to rush to Shu as soon as possible."

"What about the grain? Is there a way for the two Aiqing? ”

Hearing this, the two immediately bowed their heads.

What can they do?

Originally, the summer tax had just been collected, and the treasury would not be short of grain, but now it insists on transporting the grain and grass of the Northwest Army, plus the hole in Shandong, where is there any other grain?

If there was that grain in Wolf Mountain, maybe it wouldn't be so difficult, who would have thought ......

An Qingyun has been in politics for decades, and it has been a long time since he has encountered such a tricky and powerless situation.

Hearing this, Ji Xuan sighed, pressed his slender fingers to his eyebrows, and asked weakly, "How much grain is there in the treasury?" ”

"Returning to the saint, together with the copy from the family, a total of 1.89 million catties."

Sounds like a lot, but it's actually not enough at all.

The military supplies in various places plus the food rations of the officials will not be much left.

After being silent for a long time, Ji Xuan spoke softly, "If you want to think of a way, it's really not possible to use these grains in the treasury first." ”

"This matter is absolutely inappropriate," An Qingyun disagreed, "The people of Shu are difficult, and the old minister is also very sad, but he can't hurt thousands of people in Zhou because of one place." ”

"What Elder An Ge said is extremely true," Hearing this, Zhong Ping immediately agreed, "The land of Shu is the land of abundance, the climate is suitable, and almost every household has surplus grain, so it will definitely be able to tide over this difficulty." ”

Zhong Ping had 10,000 grain stocks that did not want to touch the treasury.

Most of it is the food of officials, and if it is diverted for other purposes, I don't know how many officials will be resentful, which is very unfavorable to management.

As a pavilion elder, what I am most afraid of is that my subordinates do not cooperate, they do not listen to orders, and they do not obey orders.

"The two Aiqing asked me to give up the people of Shu?"

When Ji Xuan said this, her body was cold.

The Son of Heaven was furious, although he did not ambush millions of corpses and shed thousands of miles of blood, but it also made people panic.

Suddenly, the two of them spoke in unison, "That's not what the old minister meant. ”

They did not give up on these people, and they had already sent people to deal with it as soon as they learned the news, but there was no food for them.

Nearly half of the land has been ruined, and there is no need to think about it, the harvest in October will definitely not be much better, and it is impossible to pay enough taxes and grain as before.

It can be seen from this that the tax grain in the autumn will definitely be reduced a lot, and the grain consumption will only be more tense at that time.

Weighing the pros and cons, the two decided to stick to their opinions.

"That's not what you mean?" Ji Xuan suddenly smashed down the fold on the dragon case, "What do you mean by talking about it yourself?" ”

If you are willing to do anything, you just refuse to give food!

But what's the use of doing this if you don't have food?

You can resist the wind and cold without taking medicine, you can open a road without a road, and you can only starve to death without food.

"The saint is angry," Zhong Ping immediately surrendered his hand, "Now the season is right, Bashu is mountainous, you can find food everywhere, you will definitely be able to hold on to ......"

Before Zhong Ping's words were finished, Qi Yong couldn't help but interrupt, "Old Zhong Ge, don't you live in the clouds, how much food can you eat on the mountain?"

It's really as good as you say, which kid is still bitter and farming? One by one, they all run to the mountains without paying taxes and starving, okay? ”

"Holy Lord, Lao Chen didn't mean that," Zhong Ping felt that Qi Yong was deliberately against him, and after noticing Ji Xuan's increasingly cold face, he hurriedly explained, "Nearly sixty percent of the people in Da Zhou can't eat enough, and Shu Di only needs to hold on for a few months, and after this time, he can come up with food to help them." ”

Hearing this, Ji Xuan sneered, "How long is this time?" A month or two months, or a year and a half? ”

Hearing this, Zhong Ping suddenly didn't dare to answer.

It's August, and the weather is still good, but it's just the beginning, and the further you go, the more difficult it becomes.

If you really can't wait for food, the people of Shu may really ......

"The old minister understands the mood of the saint," Seeing this, An Qingyun cleared his throat and spoke, "It's just that it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and there is really no way." ”
