This news was like a thunderbolt in the head for everyone present. Genius remembers the first three or five in a second

The autumn rain was wet and cold, and even with umbrellas, everyone was soaked. The prince stood still, and the people below did not dare to move even though they stood in the rain, and they complained bitterly in their hearts.

For a long time, Xiao Jun said, "Go back and immediately convene an emergency meeting." ”

The prince did not get angry, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

What's the use of being angry? Hit the enthusiasm for work in vain.

Xue Mansion Conference Room.

The work done now is all passive disaster relief, which can only be maintained for a while, and the current situation is that Jingzhou can only last for a week.

The battle on the front line was tense, and Yuan Ke personally led an army of 400,000 to the south, and the vanguard had reached Yunling Pass.

How did Xie Youyi not know the situation in Jingzhou? Pingzhou was slaughtered, Yezhou wanted to cross the river, and he could only ask for food from Jingzhou to relieve his temporary urgency.

Under the leadership of Xiao Junzhi, everyone made a detailed combing of the current situation, and found that the imminent problem to be solved is how to solve the food crisis?

Disaster relief has always relied on the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry to quickly allocate funds for disaster relief. After the capital received the disaster report, it temporarily sent the minister to the earthquake area to sit in the town, and now the prince of the minister has it, and the disaster relief money and grain from the Ministry of Household and Industry have not yet arrived.

If we don't take the initiative to find a way out now, the consequences will be unbearable for everyone here. In a short period of time, the victims will be smashed, looted, and large-scale hunger and anger will cause riots and uprisings, and if they move to other state capitals, they will even cause food crises in other state capitals, creating more hungry people and causing an avalanche crisis.

The overarching goal of disaster relief is to save all the hungry, and the bottom line is to avoid causing large-scale instability.

Passive disaster relief measures can only last for a while, and now we can only use our brains and take proactive disaster relief measures.

Xiao Jun said, "Master Jing, you speak first." ”

Hearing the crown prince's roll call, Jingguang, who had frowned since he sat down, quickly straightened up and said, "Your Highness, the food that Commander Xie asked for in Jingzhou cannot provide. I suggested that the book be revised immediately and explain the situation to Commander Xie. When the capital receives Commander Xie's urgent letter, it will definitely find a way to raise food, and as for when it will be replenished to the front line, it depends on the efficiency of the capital. Now, Commander Xie can only ask for more blessings for himself, how long can he last. ”

Xiao Jun said, "What if you can't make up for it?" ”

Jingguang shrugged, "Retreat." ”

Taking an army of 260,000 to resist the more than 400,000 troops of the Northern Dynasty is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, and it is still under the favorable terrain of the Northern Dynasty.

The supply line of the Southern Dynasty was already long, and this battle was fought in a hurry, so I wanted to take it by surprise, but I didn't expect that the heavy rain for several days delayed the opportunity.

Bu Qing shook his head slightly, a little sympathetic to Xie Youyi. Commander Xie was too unlucky, if there was no rain for more than half a month, catching Yuan Heng would be like an eagle catching a chicken, and then taking advantage of Yuan Ke's chaos in Shengjing and the six states of the Northern Dynasty to take Yunzhou.

Now it seems that it is good that Xie Youyi can hold the front and not retreat.

Yuan Ke moved too fast, and what was surprising was that he actually put aside millions of victims and directly gathered troops to move south.

What a ruthless man.

After listening to Jingguang's words, Xiao Junzhi nodded, "Repair the book immediately, and pass on Xie Youyi quickly." Since the situation that Jingzhou is now facing is an urgent shortage of grain, it can only find a way to find food. The first is to ask for grain from the capital, the second is to buy from other state capitals, and the third is to transfer the victims to the state capitals where there is plenty of food. ”

Wu Qingliu immediately said, "The capital will not allocate grain." ”

Xiao Jun's way, "Lonely cultivation book in the capital." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's expressions were different, and they couldn't say anything strange, but Jingguang still said, "Your Highness...... You don't have to fix the book, you have to cut off this road. ”

Xiao Junzhi was slightly surprised, "Why?" ”

Jingguang weighed it in his heart, glanced at Xue Mengzhuo, and didn't plan to speak again.

If the Holy Lord sent the prince to Jingzhou for disaster relief, if it was out of consideration for paving the way for the prince and creating political achievements, then he would definitely prepare all the silver and grain when the prince left for Jingzhou, and the prince would just use Jingzhou to sit and watch, how could it be like now?

Jingzhou is a mess, the saint has made it clear that he wants to test the prince, and I have heard that the prince has frequently angered the holy will in the past year, and it seems that this is really the case. If the effect of this disaster relief is not good, it is estimated that the prince's future road will be difficult.

Jingguang can only use his strength to assist the prince, after all, the prince is unlucky, and he can't eat and walk around.

Jingguang thought to himself, for a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, the saint was a little too ruthless.

Seeing Jingguang looking at himself, Xue Mengzhuo, who had been up and down in officialdom for many years, took over the conversation, "That, Your Highness, is like this." The situation in Jingzhou is a bit special, it has always been self-sufficient, and it does not ask for silver money from the capital, and the capital does not allocate silver money. His Highness said that it was feasible to buy from other state capitals and transfer the victims to places where food was abundant, and it was better to start from these two aspects. ”

Xiao Junzhi sighed, "Tell me." ”

Jingguang said, "It is feasible to buy from other state capitals, but now we are also facing the following situation: in the nearest state capital, there are only prisoners of war left in Pingzhou, Yezhou and Ningzhou do not produce grain, and Yongzhou, a large grain producing state......

Jingguang paused, held back the conversation, and said nothing.

Everyone present was transparent, and Jingguang didn't finish speaking, but everyone understood what he meant.

"Now there is another situation, due to the lack of food for disaster relief, businessmen are now starting to raise prices, and continue to hoard goods, trying to make the country rich."

After saying this, everyone looked at Xue Mengzhuo coldly.

Xue Mengzhuo hurriedly waved his hand, "I didn't get in the way. Our Jingzhou is a big commercial state, and businessmen have always been cunning, and when they are profitable, they will reach out......"

Xiao Junzhi asked, "How is Lord Xue going to deal with it?" ”

Xue Mengzhuo didn't know anything about government affairs, and when he heard the prince ask, he frowned and thought for a while, and his mind was so confused that his expression was about to cry.

Xiao Junzhi didn't wait for him to speak, and said, "Jingzhou Mansion immediately posted a list, now that Jingzhou is short of food, the government is now collecting grain from the people, ten cents per catty." ”

Everyone looked at each other, not understanding what the prince meant, this kid shouldn't be messing around, right? Ten cents a pound of rice, where can the government afford it? Now businessmen are raising prices, and the price of rice per catty has soared from two or three cents to six or seven cents.

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Xiao Jun said, "When the merchant sees the notice and sees that it is profitable, he will sell the hoarded grain to the government." This notice was not only to be published in Jingzhou, but also in Yezhou, Bingzhou, Ningzhou, Yongzhou, and so on. ”

Everyone still didn't understand, Jingguang had already reacted, slapped the table and laughed, "Clever plan!" ”

Jingguang explained, "There is grain in Jingzhou, but it is not in the hands of the government, this method can find out the grain hoarded in the hands of merchants, and how to buy it when the time comes, hehehe...... Now that information is not smooth, when other state capitals bring in grain, the market lever will begin to work, and as soon as the Jingzhou government needs to control prices, grain prices will fall back to normal levels. ”

In this way, it not only solves the problem of food shortage, but also severely cracks down on those profiteers who vainly try to make a fortune by collecting grain.

The prince is really the prince, he looks like a white rabbit, but his heart is actually black.

Probably the king's heart is black, and it is difficult to achieve things without black.

Seeing that everyone suddenly realized, Xiao Junzhi continued, "How to deal with the profiteers who maliciously hoard grain, Lord Bu?" ”

Bu Qing immediately spoke, "Those who hoard grain and don't sell it are distributed to the army, and those who are maliciously acquired and raised prices are beheaded to show the public." Eight words, those who are closed are matched, and those who are strong are cut! ”

After speaking, he wiped his neck viciously.

Xiao Junzhi shook his head, "It's enough to fill the army, and raising prices is just the nature of businessmen, so let's be lighter." ”

Bu Qing immediately took out a book from his arms, and everyone looked at the cover, and the six big characters were upright and majestic Dazhao Judgment Guide.

Bu Qing swooped through a few pages, straightened his voice and read, "In the newly revised punishment in March last year, my leader, cough cough, that is, Minister Lu Xiuyi Lu stipulates that in the event of a disaster, if a businessman raises prices five times, beheading, ten times raises prices, hangs, fifteen times raises prices, Ling Chi, and raises prices twenty times......"

Xiao Junzhi pressed his hand and interrupted Bu Qing's enthusiastic and emotional recitation, "Master Bu, the punishment is too harsh. ”

Bu Qing put down the book and said, "Your Highness, one foot loose above, one foot loose below, we can't be merciful to profiteers!" ”

Xiao Junzhi was too lazy to rub his tongue with him at this precious moment, and continued, "The food obtained in this way can only be relieved for a while. Lone suggested that under the organization of the Jingzhou government, some of the victims should be transferred to other state capitals. Prince Linjiang will soon escort the captives into Beijing, and these victims can go on the road with the escort troops. ”

Jingguang nodded again and again, "In this way, you can save a considerable amount of food." ”

Xiao Junzhi continued, "There are many businessmen in Jingzhou, so we should open up interest-bearing or interest-free loans to meet the temporary needs of the disaster victims, revitalize commerce, and restore the damaged economy as soon as possible." The Jingzhou government also needs to mobilize the wealthy officials and gentry to donate silver and rebuild the city, and those who actively donate should be commended and rewarded, and it is okay to issue him a sign. ”

"Tax cuts are also very important, such as salt taxes, grain taxes, cloth taxes, etc., and try to reduce them as much as possible."

"If the grain output is reduced by more than half as a result of the disaster, the land rent of last year can be exempted, and those less than this amount will be reduced or exempted according to the actual degree of disaster."

"This year, it is necessary to suspend or postpone the collection of taxes to reduce the burden on the people and maintain social order."

"Post-disaster reconstruction requires a lot of manpower and material support, and there is still a lot of mobilization here in Jingzhou Prefecture."

"Levies, loans, and probations will be carried out according to the situation."

Xiao Junzhi said one by one, and there was a chorus of voices in the audience, Jingguang couldn't help but admire in his heart, the prince really thought about the problem, and he considered it very well in the near and long term.

Everyone discussed some details, and Jingguang hurriedly arranged for someone to implement it.

The meeting lasted for two hours, and Xiao Junzhi returned to the room, feeling a little physically and mentally exhausted. As an unlucky prince, even the people of Jingzhou also suffered, and he really couldn't bear it.

After thinking about it, he spread out the letter and was about to pick up the pen when Han Jin knocked on the door and came in.

Seeing that the prince was about to repair the book, Han Jin immediately said, "Brother, do you want to ask the capital for help?" ”

Han Jin is smart, and Xiao Junzhi is not ready to hide it from her.

Seeing that her brother didn't speak, Han Jindao held down his hand, a drop of ink dropped on the paper, and quickly smeared, she said, "Brother, it's useless for you to send a book to the capital." ”

Xiao Junzhi paused, afraid that the ink would stain his sleeves, picked up his sleeve with his left hand and put down the pen, and said lightly, "Why?" ”

He still wants to give it a try, his father is benevolent, and he will not care.

Han Jin's heart was crossed, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Six days ago, on the way back to the palace from Yuanji Temple, the carriage was out of control," paused, her expression was a little weird, "Zhaorong was frightened and had a miscarriage." ”

Xiao Jun's face was surprised.
