The Right Hand of God Chapter 30 A Living Target
(Cat flutter Chinese) "Lord Wang, there is not much food left in our hands, and there is no more food in the army. But people from all over the world are still coming to Wuzhou one after another, how can this be good? ”
As the saying goes, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and a copper is difficult to defeat a hero.
In the face of the continuous influx of people into Wuzhou, not only Niu Chongcheng sighed, but even Zhen Yan, who was originally quite calm, began to sit still.
So on the evening of the third day, as soon as the stall was closed, he and Niu Zhong followed him back to the silver number.
"Yes, Lord Wang, the food in our hands is only enough to last tomorrow for one day at most, and when the food in our hands is finished, we can't raise food, and the people behind us will not be able to explain."
Looking at the account book in his hand silently, most of the names written on the roster of Wuzhou City have been crossed out.
Of the 3,782 households, 3,014 have been distributed, and less than 1,000 of the 5,000 bags of grain temporarily transferred from the Zhenbei Army remain.
If we only take into account the remaining 768 households, then the number of less than 1,000 is barely enough, but according to the situation a few days ago, in addition to these 700 households, there are at least 300 households from outside the city.
Maybe I won't even survive tomorrow.
And even if they barely survive tomorrow, according to this momentum, a total of more than 7,000 households in Wuzhou will need at least more than 2,000 bags of grain.
Even if you exclude some people who will not come to Wuzhou, at least they have to gather more than 1,000 bags of grain to barely cope with the difficulties in front of them.
The worst plan is to gather more than 2,000 bags of grain at once.
Nowhere else could there be so much food stored except in the army.
He didn't say anything, Niu Zhong and Zhen Yan couldn't figure out his mind at all, and they were silent for a long time, and finally Zhen Yan opened his mouth.
"Or, when Yudu's aid arrives, first plug the shortage in Wuzhou?"
"Nope."
Zhen Yan originally just opened his mouth tentatively, but in fact, he didn't know the bottom in his heart, because there were nearly 10,000 mouths waiting to be fed every day in the Eastern Army, and taking out more than 5,000 grains before was already the biggest bottom line.
In the past few days, the soldiers in the battalion have tightened their belts, just so that these people who have suffered for more than ten years can have a full meal.
But the most feared thing in the army is to run out of food, and it is okay to not have enough to eat for three days, but it is not good for a long time.
As soon as the food is cut off, the morale of the army is unstable.
The morale of the army is unstable, and the entire Eastern Army will be in chaos.
So when he blurted out that he couldn't do it categorically, Zhen Yan's heart almost immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but he immediately lifted it up before he landed.
If the food aid can't be moved, the situation in Wuzhou will be dangerous.
The majesty of the imperial court, which was finally rebuilt, may be destroyed again because of the word grain.
"It's just that the food can't be moved, after all, it's military food, and the soldiers of the Eastern Army can't be hungry all the time. But what is the reason for not sending people to the nearby Huaihe River and Cangzhou to buy? ”
Zhen Yan breathed a sigh of relief, Niu Zhong was in a hurry.
After all, if the situation in Wuzhou is chaotic again, it will be him, the future governor of Wuzhou, who will act as the brunt.
And this question has been holding in his mind for several days, but he has been so busy a few days ago that he has not had time to ask.
But now, I can't hold it anymore.
After all, in addition to Suzhou, where the Zhenbei Army was stationed, the closest to Wuzhou were the Huai River and Cangzhou.
In his view, buying grain from these two places is naturally the best way to solve the urgent needs of the moment. However, from the first day, it was expressly forbidden to buy in Huaihe and Cangzhou.
Niu Zhong finally mustered up the courage to finally ask, but he just glanced up at him expressionlessly.
"When you think about this problem, you can really afford the position of Zhizhou."
When Niu Chong heard this, his face turned red, he was panicked but he didn't dare to ask again, scratching his ears and cheeks, looking extremely depressed.
Why aren't they allowed to buy from nearby places?
Yue was a little puzzled at first, but after three days of turning in her mind, this problem was no longer a problem.
It was as if she didn't understand why she deliberately dispatched a large number of soldiers of the Eastern Army to every corner of Wuzhou at first.
But three days later, she understood.
The windfall from the sky did not make this place a paradise on earth, but instead bred more evil.
Faced with sudden wealth, most people are not satisfied after the initial ecstasy, but never-ending greed.
When you have a gold bar in your own hand, you will covet a gold bar in the hands of others.
When you see someone else get ten ingots of gold, you will be unwilling to know why you only got one ingot.
Compared to going out early and returning late and working hard for a lifetime, you may not earn a single ingot of gold, snatching seems to have become a much easier thing.
But no one dared to snatch the gold from the hands of the Zhenbei army, so they set their sights on the gold in the hands of others.
When the first robbery happened, the opening could no longer be stopped.
Cases of burglary and even roadblock robberies have occurred repeatedly, and those poor people who were once diligent seem to have changed their minds overnight, and only restless hearts are left in the whole city of Wuzhou.
It seemed that he had already expected all this, so before all this began, he had already dispatched a large number of Zhenbei troops to garrison every corner of the city in advance.
However, his attitude towards these crimes is very intriguing.
In the beginning, all the ill-intentioned eyes were on the people who had fewer strong men in their families and more gold, but were also more vulnerable.
For example, Li Cheng, the old man who was the first to get the gold, bore the brunt of the target coveted by many people.
Because his eldest son was dead, and his younger son was an apprentice in a drugstore, unmarried and often absent, the old man was alone most of the day.
It was like a live target.
Many people who were ready to make a move chose this old man as their target first, but when they really did it, they found that the well-known and ruthless Lord Xuan did not allow such a thing to happen.
All those who wanted to go to Li Cheng's house to steal or even rob were caught.
As soon as he was caught, he was immediately sent to the governor's mansion and punished with a hundred canes, and the gold issued was confiscated on the spot, and then he was severely punished according to the law.
If there is anyone who dares to resist, the Zhenbei Army can deal with it on the spot, and if he unfortunately dies, he will have to blame his own life.
The next day, there were about 100 people who were dragged to the door of the governor's mansion to be punished, most of them were idle ruffians and hooligans, but there were also those honest people who had been diligent and diligent.
So for a while, the Wuzhou prison was overcrowded, and it was very busy.
However, when the Zhenbei Army disposed of the three people on the spot, this momentum was gradually contained.
The bloodstains in front of the governor's mansion that have not yet dried all tell the attitude of death.
If you dare to attack the old and infirm, not only will you not be able to grab someone else's, but you will also lose your own, and you may even lose your life.
In just one day, death pierced this belief in everyone's hearts.
However, people soon found that although the ruthless Prince Xuan hated the act of robbing the weak, his attitude towards other behaviors was very ambiguous.
Elderly, children and women.
He only protects these real weaklings.
As for others, if caught, they are punished only according to the law and the severity of the crime.
Compared to the former, such a punishment may seem much lighter, but it seems to be justified.
But snatching from someone who is evenly matched is not an easy task, and that means that there is a high probability of failure, and that failure will also be punished by the law.
When everyone saw this fact, the evil that had been raging wildly for a while finally calmed down.
Under such iron-fisted governance, the once-chaotic city seems to have finally gradually returned to calm and got back on track.
The vendors used that ingot to buy more goods.
The farmers used that ingot to buy brand new farming tools.
The gentlemen threw the ingot into the city's casinos and brothels.
Almost everything in Wuzhou City has risen in price overnight, but there is a delicate balance between this entry and exit.
At first, Yue didn't understand his intentions.
But later, she gradually understood.
Getting rid of Luo Minhang is only the first step in this plan.
He wanted to save not only the lives of these people, but also their hearts.
Only the truly weak need protection.
As for the others, they should have obeyed the principle of natural selection.
For those ordinary criminals, he only punished according to the law on behalf of the imperial court, but for those who dared to attack the weak, it was mixed with more emotional color.
Yue couldn't say whether this was a good thing or a bad thing, at least when Niu Zhong secretly complained to her about the frequent crimes and the prison was overcrowded, the initial surprise had gradually been replaced by reason.
The gold from the sky did not clear the haze for this place, but made the hearts of those who had been buried in poverty gradually awaken and sailed in different directions.
It is really his style to force this place to be truly reborn with an almost cruel reality.
"The king has his own arrangements for the grain, and you only need to do your part. And what the king commanded before, have you arranged it? ”
"Everything is ready, and you can set off when Niu Zhi County counts the number of people."
By the way, he not only maintained the dignity of the court and the law, but also planned the aftermath of punishment.
Since the prison was overcrowded, send everyone to the army to do hard labor.
Although Yue didn't know whether this move should be called a counter-violence with violence or make the best use of it, she could hardly find fault with his series of plans.
He was cold-blooded, and he solved it all in such an almost brutal way.
But the facts in front of him proved that his methods worked.
"Then send it out as soon as possible. It is not too early, and you should go back and rest early. The stall will be open as usual tomorrow morning. ”
"But the prince...
Niu Zhong was still a little unwilling, and quietly dragged him as soon as he opened his mouth. Niu Zhong glanced back at her, and then looked at Yan obviously didn't want to say more, so he had to shut his mouth in annoyance. ...
