The lieutenant returned to the door of the house humming a small song, the door was closed, and the neighbor next to him stretched out his head to look at the proud lieutenant, retracted his head and closed the door. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The info chief is still weird.,Why don't you say hello to me today.。 When the chief pushed open the door, he saw the scene in the courtyard. "Ahh All the servants of the house were killed. Blood was pouring all over the ground. The chief trembled and walked to the bedroom to see that the room was a mess. The little concubine shrunk into a ball with her bare upper body, staring at the beam of the room with her eyes blank.

The lieutenant touched the concubine's nose forward, and she was already out of breath. The chief pushed open the door of his daughter's room, and a woman in a red cotton jacket hung from the beam. Hanging out there. When the lieutenant saw it, he finally didn't come up in one breath and fainted. The cold wind outside the door was cold, and the chief woke up shivering from the cold, and glanced at his daughter hanging from the beam. He took a rope, threw it on the beam, tied it in a knot, and stood on a stool. Put your head into the knot. He exhaled and said, "Girl, my father is here to accompany you." "Kick the stool. The neck was immediately hung on the hemp rope. Kick your feet a few times. With a "snap", the silver that was rewarded by the little school just now fell to the ground. Silence returned to the room. So far, except for Wang Lichang's wife, who was driven back to her parents' house by Wang Lichang. Wang Lichang's family of 25 people all died.

Such a scene is just a microcosm, and a village like Wangjia Village, which is already considered wealthy, is a little better. In some villages, there are not a few families who are forced to hang themselves. After holding out for less than a day and a night, the landlords and wealthy men compromised and had the money taken out of their homes and handed over. If you don't pay it, you can't do it, it's freezing and you're locked in the lobby without food or drink, just looking at it, and you're not allowed to sleep, and you're watching it when you're and urinating. The first person who couldn't hold it was the landlord in the brocade robe. Zhang Yuanwai was the last to pay. After paying the money, Zhang Yuanwai said to Master Zhu: "Master Zhu, you adults are waiting to be sensitive!" After speaking, he was helped away by his son.

Under the strict supervision of the Hu governor's house. This time, the whole government collected more than 97,000 taels of cash, plus the stolen grain and other converted silver. A total of 120,000 taels were collected. When Master Zhu reported the account book to Governor Hu, Governor Hu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Finally solved the matter of the imperial court to raise food, grass and ordnance. As long as you have money, it's easy to do. "Master, the granary is full. Before the lunar month, the inspection department of the household department may be coming down. Don't make a mistake. Report all the meritorious personnel this time, and the government will write to them to ask for merit. ”

Master Ji reported the people who gave Master Ji a lot of money this time. The first on the list is the tax collector Wang Zhengxing. The second is a subordinate of Tang Baihu named Sun Ye. The rest are arranged according to how many are sent. Master Ji made a lot of money this time. I held a running water banquet for a few days at home alone. The feast of this 'meritorious personnel'. But I couldn't see that the streets of Sicheng were full of beggars with children and daughters begging. How did these beggars come about. It has not yet been levied by this levy. This time the small landlords, yeoman farmers, tenants, and merchants outside the city were taxed, and countless bankrupts were immense. Even Mo San joined the begging army. There's no way, as long as you're caught, you won't stop if you don't go bankrupt. What's more, Mo San still has the idea of resisting taxes. I was taken care of.

During the days of the feast, there were beggars waiting there every day to eat the leftovers after the feast. Every day, the people who froze to death on the road and starved to death, and even the people in the good hall could not collect them. In front of the Yiwang Mansion, the porridge factory opened. The heads of people queuing up to receive porridge every day are boundless. King Yi saw that the tragic scene of "Zhumen's wine and meat stinks, and there are frozen bones on the road" was really staged in front of his eyes. In a hurry, his eyes were full of tears, and he hurried to find Zhu Lin and asked Zhu Lin to find a way. It's not that the righteous king doesn't know, the righteous king already knows. I couldn't be angry, but it's also my family's country. How can these corrupt officials be so neat. King Yoshiki was originally going to trouble the prefect. But the advisers under his hand did not let the prince look for it. The secret decree allows you to only supervise, if you find trouble with Hu Wei, Hu Wei is angry and does not raise it, and then put the responsibility on your prince. Say you interfere in local affairs. Who can we find to blame for this? The righteous king thought about it later, and yes. I was worried for several days, but I really had no choice, so I had to find Zhu Lin to help. Tell Zhu Lin about these things. Only then did Zhu Lin know that so many people came to find a way to survive these days. Don't be paid, just mix food and clothing. Didn't pay attention to it at first. But these days there are more and more. The walls were almost full. Some of them have already set up shacks and settled there. Zhu Lin was still wondering for the first few days, saying that it had snowed twice, why there were so many beggars and refugees. After listening to what the righteous king said, I realized that it was still the prefect's business. It seems that the prefect is really in a hurry and has done this thing of killing chickens and taking eggs.

Zhu Lin originally patted his chest and promised the righteous king to wrap it on me. can be reprimanded by Li Zhi: "Now the places living in it are almost full." If you recruit more people, how many people can you recruit on this little land? Your industries are now overcrowded. In addition to the few tiled houses left by Zhu Chengli. It's all full. If you recruit people again, what can you do in this winter? How to live? Now all raw materials are imported from outside, including grain. This is not a minority, it is tens of millions of people, you can save one, two, ten, eight, tens of thousands, and tens of thousands. Since Boss Xu delivered the last batch of grain and grass. After the snow, I didn't come back to deliver raw materials and food. Do you know if the food road is cut off? These people are unstable, what are the consequences. Tell you, it's a civil uprising or a civil unrest. Don't look at how faithful they are to you now. Once you lack food and clothing, these people will probably be the first to rebel against you. Thou shalt not have promised the righteous king this. ”

Before Li Zhi finished speaking, Zhu Lin broke out in a cold sweat. It's still too tender to think about yourself. I'm really not a person who does big things. I just looked at the refugees pitifully, but I didn't think about it so much. was reminded by Li Zhiyi. suddenly realized, don't look at the current scenery, in fact, it is still controlled by others. The source and sales of raw materials are controlled by Boss Xu's merchants. People just need to cut off the raw materials. Zhu Lin is done with everything. Even if you don't cut it, you can expect to buy it, and you can't afford to provide food, clothing and housing for so many people. will drag Zhu Lin's achievements in the past few months alive. "Teacher, it's so pitiful to look at these people. Let's brainstorm ways to find a way. Get through it. ”

Zhu Lin called all the stewards over to find a way. I can't take care of Yang Jianchao. It's almost time for life and death. Seeing that there were more and more refugees, the 200 acres of land given by King Nayi outside the city wall were densely packed with shacks. For the sake of two meals of almsgiving porridge every morning and evening. Zhu Lin has been forcing these stewards to find ways to solve these problems in the past few days, and he is also thinking of a way. The lifeblood of this survival cannot be in the hands of others. The stewards also gave Zhu Lin a lot of ideas, but they were all unreliable. Shen Mo proposed to care what they did. As long as we live well, we don't care what those people do. This also represents the opinion of a large part of the population. Zhu Chengli also put forward roughly similar opinions. The only dissenting opinion was Yang Wangnan's craftsmen. They don't have a lot of people.

Li Zhi picked up his finger and pricked it twice on the map. said: "Zhu Lin, the steward, you see how it would be if the refugees were arranged to the west of Huaicheng." Here it is - the town of Anxi. Li Zhi pointed to a small circle on the map and said. Zhu Lin glanced at the map. "Teacher, why is it arranged here?" everyone was also puzzled.

"You see, Zhu Lin is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and one side faces the waterway canal. It can be attacked and retreated, and it is really a treasure land. And there are iron mines here. I also asked the guys who delivered iron ore, and I confirmed that there are indeed a lot of iron ore here. Just convenient for our steel mill. ”

As soon as Zhu Lin heard that there was iron ore there, his ears were ridged. Yang Wangnan hurriedly stepped forward to watch. The stewards of several workshops were also there, looking at the place called Anxi Town on the map.

"Master, if there is iron ore there, it will not be our turn to mine it. What's more, the terrain is so good, the land price is certainly not cheap. Zhu Lin said silently.

"Hehe, this place was originally very prosperous. It's just that the canal has been dry for the past two years. There weren't many ships coming and going. It slowly declined. It shouldn't be that expensive. Again. You go and ask the righteous king if he is interested. Let him get the land here. The problem of food. To the east of Huaicheng, there are thousands of miles of fertile fields. In recent years, such a severe drought has not affected Huaicheng. If you take a closer look, there are no homeless people in Huaicheng here. What's more, next year, as long as the canal is full. This bloodline that runs through the north and south is connected. It is also possible to transport grain from the south to the north. However, since Zhu Lin wants to save these people, he must implement the policy of cash-for-work. Otherwise, if the people eat and drink in vain, the gold and silver sea will not be able to hold on. ”

Zhu Lin thought about it, yes. It is true that refugees here rarely see Huaicheng. However, this Sicheng and Huaicheng are not far away, why is the gap so big. Zhu Chengli pulled Zhu Lin and whispered, "Your father's credit." Zhu Lin glanced at Zhu Chengli thoughtfully.

"Uncle Zhu, you said that your life in Huaicheng is not short, why don't you know that there is an iron mine there. If we had known, we would have saved a lot of money. You must know that what we spend money on is high-priced materials. ”

"Maybe it's just discovered, but I don't know. I have not heard of it there. Zhu Chengli replied.

The people below were talking there. Roughly agreed. Zhu Lin nodded and said, "Uncle Zhu, I'll visit King Yi tomorrow." Let people vote for a prayer post. That's it. Waiting for the righteous king to get the land down. Get started. ”

The next day, after Zhu Lin entered the city, he realized how serious it was. The dead bodies that had fallen on the side of the road were not carried. The crows in the sky above are making people panic. The streets are also dilapidated. Ruins and broken rubbles abound. A good city is almost a dead city. In the hall of King Yi, "Zhu Lin, you mean, you want the land in Anxi Town? This is not easy to do, this king is only sealed in Sicheng! If it is according to what you say, it should be under the jurisdiction of Huaicheng County, Tongbai Prefecture." It's useless for you to look for this king. ”

"Lord, you are the prince after all, no matter how useless you are, it's more useful than me, a useless little people. ”

"Lord Wang, the grass people Zhu Lin asked you to think of a way on behalf of the refugees in Sicheng. For the sake of your family's country, you have to think of a way!" Zhu Lin knelt down as he spoke.
