Chapter 132: Where Did the Food Go?

After the collapse of the dilapidated houses has been cleared up, and the families affected by the disaster have settled down, another problem is imminent - food.

The successive heavy snowfalls blocked transportation, and some families did not have enough food reserves, had no money to buy it, and had nowhere to buy it, so they could only eat one meal a day, and some even ran out of food.

I didn't know when the county would allocate relief food, but Li Zheng was tired and half dead and went to the county office, only to find that he was not the only one who came.

The Li Zheng and the representatives of other villages and towns gathered together, crowded one by one to occupy the entire rear office, and I heard that some were still on their way.

Compared with a year ago, Pan Jiadao, a county leader in his early forties, has aged a lot, and at a glance, he knows that his official uniform has not been changed for a few days, and it is crumpled and hung on his body like pickle leaves.

Since the ignition of the war, Pan Jiadao has to cooperate with the army in all aspects, and Yeyang cannot ignore big and small things.

Chang Ping originally had grain reserves, but he was transferred to military rations before the end of the year.

Who would have thought there would be a snow storm?

Even if you think about it in advance, you can't do it.

The grain and grass raised by the imperial court were not even half of what they needed, and the Lord of Futai did not care about his life, but he couldn't ignore it.

If Guanbei can't be saved, the first one to fall is Yeyang, I heard that the one who led the troops in Beiliang is used to slaughtering the city!

Even if you don't slaughter the city, the end will not be much better.

“…… The price of human flesh is cheaper than that of dogs, and the fat and strong ones are only fifteen thousand ......."

The lessons of history are in the past, once reduced to the slave of the country, treated as "two-legged sheep", men, women and the old and weak are no longer people, but enclosure-raised domestic animals.

They will kill all the men who have not grown up, and the women will be raped anytime and anywhere, or they may be slaughtered and cooked anytime and anywhere like the men, it is better to freeze to death, starve to death, and die in battle!

Therefore, under tremendous pressure and the opposition of other people in the yamen, he opened the standing position of the preparation of the famine without authorization.

Although the purpose of the establishment of Changping was not only for disaster relief, but also for war preparation, both required orders from the imperial court.

The imperial court knew that the border army was short of food and grass, and it was at this critical juncture of survival, but it was unwilling to issue an edict clearly, and Pan Jiadao was also forced to have no choice.

The loss of the valley has always been a taboo in the imperial court.

He had already predicted that no matter whether Guanbei could survive this time and what the final result was, his fate would not be too good, and he would be demoted and dismissed at best, and his head would be difficult to protect at worst.

But he had no choice.

The soldiers are in front of the rebellion, and the snow disaster is behind, which is lighter? Which is more important?

But what now? Is it right to watch the minority die in order not to let the majority die?

He wiped his face and staggered to his feet.

Immediately, the people in the hall fell silent, and bowed their bodies to obey the command.

"Food...... Not yet, so go back...... Think of a way...... Hold on for a while...... I, I ......"

His voice was soaked with bitterness, but who was in the mood to experience it at this time.

Without life-saving food, everyone is miserable!

The hall exploded, and he didn't care about his humility, so he gathered around one by one, anxiously asking how could this be? Why is there no grain, and there is often a grain that is often closed?

Pan Jiadao took a deep breath to calm down his emotions, didn't explain more, and didn't have time to change his official uniform, so he asked people to prepare the car, left a sentence of "I'll borrow food", and hurriedly left the county office.

Li Zheng had no choice but to ask the county Cheng Jiang Suqian.

As the second-in-command of the county government, the county is not there, and if there is any problem, he should help solve the problem and clean up the aftermath.

But he pushed four, five, or six, putting on an attitude of ignoring everything, only saying that the good and bad were the ideas of the county lord, and if he wanted to ask for an explanation, he had to wait for him to come back.

Seeing a group of people sighing out of the county office, a secretary came over and arched his hand at Jiang Suqian, "Congratulations to Master Jiang in advance, Gaosheng is just around the corner." ”

Jiang Suqian snorted and straightened his sleeves, "Still thinking about how to move this stubborn head, he actually dug his own grave, I didn't expect that there would be such a fool in the world." ”

He looked up and laughed, his smug expression unconcealed.

Jiang Suqian has been in the position of county leader for more than ten years, and he has long wanted to change the hat on his head, the previous term

After the county magistrate was transferred, he walked up and down to dot the dots, made a lot of money, and saw that good things were about to come true, but in the end he was intercepted by Pan Jiadao, a horseman.

Pan Jiadao was born as a serious jinshi and was appointed by the imperial court, Jiang Suqian was helpless, and since then he has held a grudge, although he pretended to be submissive on the surface, but secretly he did not make a stumbling block.

The so-called slippery officials mean that although the power of the lower-level officials is not large, they should not be neglected.

Most of them are natives, and their families may not be noble, but they have been rooted here for generations, and their power has long been intertwined, and they are veritable local snakes.

Pan Jiadao, who is a newcomer, doesn't understand the situation, and he has indeed suffered a lot of hidden losses.

But he is also a means, seeing that the momentum is not good, he does not carry it hard, and he makes a state of discouragement for a period of time, and after paralyzing the people in the yamen, he sees the opportunity to eliminate and beat him, and expels several people from the bureaucracy.

At the juncture when everyone was in danger, he accepted it when he saw it, and he did not offend all of them, so he not only played a role in killing chickens and monkeys, but also won over many people in the past.

It's infuriating that he was even re-elected.

Before General Nie was stationed in Guanbei, Pan Jiadao was repeated

Rejected his unreasonable demands, and refused to cooperate with his cranky precious son, and offended their father and son.

Jiang Suqian thought that Pan Jiadao would soon lose his black yarn hat, but it was General Nie who was transferred away in the end.

If he hadn't investigated Pan Jiadao's background in advance and confirmed that he was from an ordinary peasant family, Jiang Suqian would have thought that there was some great man standing behind him.

Hmph, he used to be lucky with shit, but this time, there won't be such good luck waiting for him anymore.

Li Zheng went to the county, but came back empty-handed, Hu Liang told Ji Yu and them.

"Uncle Li Zheng plans to let people who are a little bit able donate food, donate as much as they want, donate a little bit, and everyone will work together to get through this hurdle......"

"What about the grain in the warehouse?" Widow Xie followed and asked.

Hu Liang sighed, "Who knows, it's always those officials who are in charge." ”

Changping Ji Yu knows, it seems that it is a granary set up by the ancient government to regulate grain prices, store grain and prepare for famine, and supply government needs and people's food.

Specifically, the imperial court set up warehouses in various places, and when the price of grain was low in the harvest year, it purchased grain at a price higher than the market price and stored it in the warehouse; In poor harvest years, grain prices are high, so grain is sold at low prices to stabilize grain prices.

Therefore, the role of Chang Ping is very important, and its fundamental purpose is to safeguard the interests of the broad masses of the people, to avoid "cheap grain hurting farmers", and also to avoid "expensive grain hurting the people".

In addition to balancing the normal agricultural harvest and loss, it can also ensure that when a major natural disaster occurs, the grain can be opened and released to the victims free of charge.

The reason why ancient societies were able to maintain long-term stability has a lot to do with the standing position system.

However, the effect of preparing for the poor year in a good year is not immediate, and sometimes it can only play a role once in many years, so some officials have the idea of closing positions often.

For example, shoddy, misappropriated for personal use, or taking the opportunity to make money.

Listening to the discussion between Widow Xie and Hu Liang, many people should have the same idea, and feel that Chang Ping was hollowed out by the people in the county government.

Ji Yu didn't think so.

Let's not say that this county has a good reputation among the people.

Even if the food inside is really greedy, in the case of chaos and snowstorms, if the greedy people don't want to become sinners in the entire Kanbei and die without a place to bury, they must have rushed to make up for the food.

Even if it can't be completed for a while, it will be unscrupulous, even if it is mixed with mud and sand, how much can be made up.

But listening to Hu Liang, the magistrate directly told Lizheng that they had no food, and he went to borrow food.

Let's not talk about whether the approach is right or wrong, at least the attitude is above board.

It is possible that the grain was used for its purposes.

Ji Yu's first thought was military rations.
