Chapter 989: King Nanyang died of illness
After the rebellion in Zhuxian County, he sent people to publicize Zhao Hanzhang's treatment of the thieves in Baoxian County, and turned out the "Book with the People", so that the counties were carrying the gong back and forth in the streets and alleys for half a month, so that the people could remember Zhao Hanzhang's love for the people and benevolence, and interpret the imperial court's plan for post-disaster reconstruction.
At the same time, let Li Zheng preach the fate of the Wang clan in Fuxian County, and let the families restrain the children of the clan, and there should be no more rebels.
Then he began to send troops to suppress bandits in Jizhou, and all the bandits who were beaten down were compiled into the register, divided the fields, sorted out the land, rivers, etc., and the particularly cruel ones were thrown into the army as military slaves, and the treasures and grains collected were filled into the treasury to help the people.
The delivery of relief grain in Yuzhou made Zu Ti more free, and then carried out more in-depth cash-for-work activities.
Most of Jizhou can grow winter wheat, and the drought situation is not as serious as Youzhou, so Zu Ti found a way to buy wheat seeds, plus the wheat seeds sent by Zhao Hanzhang, and the people who were included in the register were basically divided into fields and seeds, ploughing, planting, digging ditches, and watering...... All the people of Jizhou are busy.
Even armies that did not have the task of suppressing bandits joined the cultivation.
Zhao Hanzhang ordered that all the armies in the world, except for the elite, have the task of tuntian, serve as soldiers in wartime, farmers in leisure time, and train in idle time, and strive for self-sufficiency.
Zu Ti felt that her policy was very good, and when she was in Youzhou, the two had an in-depth conversation about this matter, and at the moment, there was no better way than a soldier to Tuntian.
When the world is settled, they will reduce the number of soldiers, release more people to farm, and only keep a part of the army.
Like Zu Ti, who acted quickly was Zhao Ju from Yanzhou.
Yanzhou was the state that was most severely damaged by the war, and the whole territory became a battlefield, every county was beaten, and the people were ...... Countless people have been displaced and their homes have been burned.
The drought in Yanzhou is not very serious, but the tragic situation is even worse than that in Youzhou.
Zhao Ming knew that the situation in Yanzhou was very bad, and Zhao Ju was born in Zhao Hanzhang's subordinates, so Zhao Ming trusted and relied on him more, Zhao Hanzhang was still in the north, Zhao Ming began to send people to Yanzhou to send relief grain, and at the same time sent a large number of officials to Yanzhou to assist Zhao Ju in managing Yanzhou.
With such great support, Zhao Ju straightened out Yanzhou much faster.
If a person is sad, then let him be busy, so that he has no time to be silent in sad things; The same is true for a state of pain, let it be busy and rejuvenated, then the pain will not only be painful, but also motivating.
Therefore, he also let Yanzhou start planting winter wheat as soon as possible, and actively let the state's business resume.
The rich gentry in the state were not very willing to make money, or they were not making money openly, so he could only write to Zhao Hanzhang to ask for a solution.
Zhao Hanzhang directly gave him an idea, "Just reduce or reduce business taxes." ”
Zhao Ju was very entangled in this, and asked Zhao Hanzhang: "Since the envoy has issued an order, it can be seen that he is short of money, and then reduce or reduce the commercial tax at this time, isn't it a contradiction?" ”
Zhao Hanzhang wrote to him, "Counting money is quick money, and it is to solve the current dilemma of empty treasury; Commercial tax is a continuous major policy, but at present, the people are poor, and they can be appropriately reduced or reduced to restore business. ”
Zhao Ju understood, and immediately reduced some commercial taxes in Yanzhou, such as commercial taxes such as grain trading, which he completely exempted, and he also reduced the tax rates for other industries.
This is a small privilege that Zhao Hanzhang gave to the states to assassinate history.
In order to better adapt to the policies of the states, she allowed them to be autonomous within a certain range, but these things still needed to be reported to the imperial court.
Fu Yi of Yongzhou was writing to Zhao Hanzhang, hoping that she would allow Yongzhou to be exempted from counting money and some taxes.
Yongzhou, especially in the Jingzhao Prefecture area, has suffered from grain shortages for several consecutive years, and not only the people have suffered heavy losses, but also the local scholars and wealthy have also suffered heavy losses, and they belong to the kind that cannot escape if they want to.
When Zhao Hanzhang's order arrived in Yongzhou, Fu Yi knew that the money could not be collected in Yongzhou, and if it was forcibly collected, Yongzhou would be in chaos.
So he didn't act, and appeased the officials in the state, telling them to wait a little longer, and he would intercede with the imperial court.
As a result, as soon as the letter was written and circulated, the king of Nanyang in Chang'an had already ordered the collection of money, because he knew that it was difficult to collect money, so he directly sent troops to follow the officials and officials to collect it, mainly facing rich merchants and some gentry who had no power.
As for the officials and gentry named by Zhao Hanzhang, he didn't move.
However, this move still made Chang'an chaotic, and when Fu Yi received the news and rushed back to Chang'an from Yongzhou, the king of Nanyang had been rushed by the rioting Chang'an rebels, and it is said that he was frightened and fell off his horse, and died of illness within a few days of being carried back to the house.
Chang'an is still in chaos, the henchmen of the king of Nanyang want to suppress it strongly, avenge the king of Nanyang, but also afraid that he will not be able to control the situation, when the time comes, not only Zhao Hanzhang will ask for the guilt, Chang'an here will also be occupied by the chaotic people, hesitate between Fu You rushed back, at the same time Zhao Hanzhang's appointment letter also arrived, she directly removed the king of Nanyang from the position of assassin, and ordered Fu Yi to be the assassin of Yongzhou.
The henchmen of the king of Nanyang were overjoyed and immediately threw the messy mess of Chang'an to Fu Yi.
Fu Yi was exhausted, so he could only come forward to appease the people of Chang'an, this time, he also used Zhao Hanzhang's reputation as benevolent, promised to plead his way to the top, and asked Zhao Hanzhang to exempt Yongzhou from the calculation of money, as well as ...... Partial taxation.
With Fu Yi's efforts, the chaos in Chang'an was controlled, but the mood was still fluctuating between grief and anger, and he was afraid that a small spark would ignite them.
So Fu You didn't dare to relax a little, so he could only add another letter to Zhao Hanzhang, one was to tell her that the king of Nanyang was dead, and the other was to mention the matter of calculating money and paying taxes.
In Yongzhou, especially in the area of Chang'an, Jingzhao Prefecture, the food shortage has always been very serious.
In order to hold the checkpoint of the Great Jin Dynasty, the taxes levied have always been very heavy, and the food is also close to the army first, even so, there are many soldiers in the army who are hungry and hungry.
Just look at Beigong Chun, when he was a general in Chang'an, the soldiers in his army were often hungry and dying.
In the final analysis, it is because Chang'an's civil affairs are not done well, and there are some disasters every year, most of which are small droughts, and a few are the impact of rebellious soldiers, and it is difficult for the people to cultivate with peace of mind.
There is no income, but it is spending, and the king of Nanyang has no management talent, so he only knows how to blindly collect taxes, so that Chang'an falls into a vicious circle.
When Fu Yi was sent by the first emperor, Chang'an was already terminally ill, and under his various measures, he only eased the situation in Chang'an a little, but with the king of Nanyang, many of his policies could not be implemented, or they were canceled after half of the implementation, and he was really tied.
This time, King Nanyang "died of illness", although it was unexpected, but ...... Fu You was not sad, and even breathed a sigh of relief, just worried about the future of Chang'an.
Although cheeky, Fu You still couldn't help mentioning the third point, he hoped that the imperial court could give Chang'an some relief money and food to help them tide over this difficulty.
Chang'an, it's too miserable.
Some people died, but not completely......
