Chapter 505: There is a great drought in the world
Zhu Zhengyang's words also made Zhu Haochen wake up from his excitement, yes, if the other party really has this strength, then why cooperate with him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Until now, he doesn't even know what the other party is.
"The prince is too worried, if it is peaceful today, if we want to rebel, it is impossible at all. Only the prince, as a member of the royal family, can hold the banner on the side of the Qing monarch. I only hope that the prince will take the country, and we want to be able to row the river with the prince and rule. The scholar seemed to have expected this question for a long time, so he answered directly.
The Ming Dynasty was very upright, and when Taizu expelled the Mongols and restored the orthodoxy of the Han people, no one could ignore this. Not to mention that the world is still peaceful now, even if the world is in chaos, it will be difficult for someone to rebel.
Unless it is a rise within the Ming royal family, there is a possibility of success. When Zhu Di became the ancestor, didn't he get the throne under the guise of the Qing monarch's side?
"Row the river and rule?" Zhu Haochen muttered this sentence in his mouth, and his heart was a little moved. He is not afraid that the other lion will open his mouth, he is afraid that these people will not make demands. Although the request to rule the river was a little excessive, his heart settled down.
If these people want to divide the river and rule, then give them half of the country. When he recovers, it's not too late to crusade again. Anyway, he is also the authentic Ming royal family, and it is justified to raise troops to crusade.
"Okay, we should come down on this matter, and then the north of the Yangtze River will belong to us, and the south of the Yangtze River will belong to you. Zhu Haochen pondered for a while before speaking.
North of the Yangtze River, it is what everyone considers to be an orthodox place. Perhaps the land south of the Yangtze River is richer, but Zhu Haochen prefers the land in the north more.
"Okay, that's a deal. The scholar nodded with satisfaction, and in his eyes, black silk threads flashed, looking strange and cold.
......
After Fang Hong came back from Jiangxi, he seemed to have become idle all of a sudden. The Tsing Yi Society has been re-established, and it has not yet seen results. The Seven Star Sword was left at the bottom of the Gongjiang River by him, and he used that batch of gold and silver to refine it every day. And now he is afraid of the Mandate of Heaven, and he doesn't dare to break through in the cultivation realm, and the whole person can't find anything to do.
After he returned to his body, he asked Wang Ke to assist Wang Chuqing in training the newcomers of the Tsing Yi Club, but he ordered someone to find a lot of books and read them all day long.
No matter which of the classics of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, the root of it is to expound the Dao. Although they take different paths, the ultimate goal is the same. Fang Hong studied every day, and his thoughts became more and more accessible.
It's just that he stays at home all day and also has a worry. He and Xie Chaoyu have been married for half a year, and so far Xie Chaoyu's stomach has not moved, and the Lin family is also very anxious, often saying a few words in front of them, either openly or secretly.
At the beginning, Fang Hong could still open his mouth to explain two sentences. After a long time, he didn't care anymore, someone talked about it, and it was over with a haha. However, Xie Chaoyu is often a little depressed.
"It's getting hotter and hotter these days, and I'm afraid that there will be another drought in various places. "As the days passed, the whole Taiyuan City became hotter and hotter, almost like a furnace. The earth has long been dried and cracked by the sun, and as soon as the people and horses left, the dust fluttered and flew up. Some of the Lin family's subordinates couldn't help but start complaining.
When the weather is hot, they have to suffer with it. The old men and young masters can have all kinds of ways to cool off the heat, but they, the subordinates, have to stay up.
"There is a calamity in the world. As soon as Fang Hong looked up, he only saw that the red and black qi in the sky were entangled, spreading for thousands of miles, covering Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong and other places. Strange to say, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, almost every year has suffered disasters, floods, droughts, locust plagues and snow disasters, the money of the imperial court has been dispersed like flowing water, but there has been little effect.
For this reason, the emperors of the past dynasties have issued a lot of edicts. In the understanding of readers, there are disasters in the world, which must be caused by the immorality of the Son of Heaven, and you must not take the blame.
There was a great drought in Shanxi, and the Lin family was also busy, and ordered people to transport grain back from Huguang and other places. On the one hand, in order to avoid the situation of not being able to buy rice when the drought is more severe. On the other hand, when the drought is severe, the number of displaced people in various places will increase, and if we do not hurry up with the government to provide relief, there may be a big chaos.
As the gentry class, as the vested interests of the Ming Dynasty, what they hope most is that the situation will be stable and not too much change. When there is a rebellion among the displaced people, their families will suffer first.
"Second master, the grain has been shipped back, but we only got 3,000 stones, and there is no more. "In the Lin Mansion, the real master is the second master Lin Xianhai. Because the boss Lin Xianyue is a Beijing official, although he is now at home, he doesn't want to take care of the trivial things at home. The third child, Lin Xianyuan, is obsessed with reading, and he is even more unwilling to take care of things at home.
"It's only three thousand stones, what's going on over there in Huguang?" Lin Xianhai immediately frowned when he heard this, three thousand stones of grain was not enough to even feed his own family.
"I don't know, Huguang said that there are too many people from all over the country who come to purchase food, and all their food has been booked. The three thousand stones were given to us by them. The steward was also a little puzzled, so he told Huguang's rhetoric,
Of course, this statement, not to mention that Lin Xianhai doesn't believe it, even if anyone comes, he doesn't believe it. Since ancient times, Huguang is a land, the land is fertile, the grain output is very large, and the folk have the words of "the lake is ripe, the world is full", although this is a bit exaggerated, but it also shows that there are many grains in Huguang from the side.
With so much grain, even if the big grain merchants from all over the country flocked to it, it would not be able to even out only 3,000 stones. Besides, this drought has just begun to show signs of this, and grain merchants everywhere just want to buy grain, and they won't start so quickly.
"You send someone to ask first, if you want to take the opportunity to raise the price, within the appropriate range, it's not impossible. There are also places in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, also go to see. Lin Xianhai pressed his head and felt a little headache. It's not once or twice that their Lin family and Huguang have done business there, if those people really want to raise the price, then the previous favor will be gone.
As for the land of Jiangsu and Zhejiang that he said, he didn't have much hope. He was reluctant to buy food from there unless he had to do so. Jiangnan has been rich since ancient times, and there is no doubt that it is known as the land of fish and rice. Because the river pond is vertical and horizontal, the fertility of the land is still above the lake.
However, in recent years, the weaving industry has risen in various parts of the Yangtze River, and everyone has competed to abandon the farmland and plant mulberry cotton instead. As a result, large tracts of fertile land produce only a small amount of food. Grain in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places can only barely supply some surrounding places, and even sometimes, they have to purchase grain from other places, which has to be said to be an irony.
Therefore, if there are no special circumstances, buying grain from Jiangsu and Zhejiang can kill you.
