Zhang Anshi said, and then smiled again. Eagles

Then he said: "Making money is not the goal, what we are fighting for is the hearts of the people, the land and the people." ”

"Man is the most important thing, and for those who are rebellious and thieves, man is only a tool for them to obtain benefits from it, but also a labor force for them to exploit."

Because of this, it doesn't matter to them even if some people starve to death, because they can make a lot of money by hoarding grain and annexing land. For us, people are not priceless, but at least ...... It can also bring more value to people. Now, there are great disasters everywhere, hunger is everywhere, and now ...... It's time for our Taiping Mansion to clean up the rivers and mountains. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at everyone, and then said: "We are all our own people, so this king is blunt in front of you, the Taiping Mansion has been cultivated for so many years, and it can be regarded as raising a lot of capable officials and officials, official schools, and many schools, and so many talented people." Now, it's time to test everyone, and then ...... That's what really matters to us, here's a charter, so let's take a look at it first. ”

After Zhang Anshi said some impassioned words, he immediately threw out a thick pile of charters.

Nowadays, Zhang Anshi's speaking level has improved a lot, and after listening to his words, everyone's faces are unconsciously solemn.

The scribes of the Changshi Mansion took those statutes and began to distribute them. Eagles

Everyone looked down one after another, but under this look, they all changed color.

Zhang Anshi naturally saw their reactions, and raised his voice again: "Everyone, look...... Can these be achieved? To achieve this, it is inevitable that everyone will help each other, and everyone will first put forward their own problems, how to place them, and how to deploy personnel...... These things are all interlinked. ”

Everyone watched silently, distinguishing the scope of their responsibilities in the charter, and then began to think about it in their hearts.

Gao Xiang took the lead and said: "Your Highness, there are so many prefectures and counties, I am afraid that there is not enough manpower, and the Taiping Mansion can only be transferred at least ...... More than 900 scribes came, which was really a drop in the bucket. ”

Zhang Anshi glanced at Gao Xiang: "It's not a big problem, it's really not possible, there are other students who are about to graduate from the official academy and other schools such as the Customs Academy and the Mathematics Academy, are these enough?" ”

Gao Xiang listened, fell into deep thought, and said after half a sound: "It should be feasible, but it is over there in the halls...... Will you let them go? ”

Zhang Anshi said: "It's just an internship, teach them to do some practical things, it will be good for them in the future, besides, most of the students of these schools have entered Jinyiwei, Taiping Mansion and Customs after graduation, and they have a connection with the palace, and they can't ask for it." "Eagles

Gao Xiang bowed: "Then the lower officials are responsible for liaison, mobilize people first, and let some scribes teach some practical affairs first." ”

Chen Li also read the charter here, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, Jinyiwei's side, there is no big problem. ”

Zhang Anshi bowed his head and looked at Zhu Jin.

Zhu Jin thought for a while and said: "It shouldn't be a problem, now money and food are not a problem, so ...... The next workshops can produce as soon as possible, the price is negotiable, and it will be done without losing money. ”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "This is the best, since this is the case, everyone will act separately." Oh, yes, quickly send the edict to all prefectures and counties, and teach everyone to act according to the edict. He turned around and told them that no one should drop the chain, and if they dared to do something bad, they would be severely punished. But if this matter can be successful, even if there is no merit, there is hard work, this king is ...... The rewards and punishments are clear, and those who are willing to eat meat with sincerity and sincerity will eat meat, and if anyone dares to collude with the local gentry, then don't blame the king for pulling out his sword. ”

"Whoa."

When everyone dispersed, Zhang Anshi breathed a sigh of relief, and then ordered the Changshi Mansion to start dispatching personnel to prepare to inspect the prefectures and counties. Eagles

It's been busy all the time, and it's late at night.

Kaifeng......

Zhou Juren and others are still buying grain one after another.

There seems to be no other sign of everything.

After all, this is what they used to do, and they can be described as experienced. When the government had relief food, they colluded with the officials to buy it from the officials and hoard it.

But after seven or eight days of buying it, it started to get a little ...... Strange things.

They found that it was as if there was an endless supply of food, and that they could never buy it. Eagles

The carts and horses that transported grain always appeared every day and entered the city one after another, so ...... It was formed, and the Jinyi Wei side was releasing grain for disaster relief, and the gentry were also buying grain in a steady stream.

However, the price of this grain cannot fall.

Because once it falls, isn't everyone hoarding food in vain?

Soon, Zhou Juren and the others began to be a little overwhelmed.

More and more grain was bought, and their own granaries were bought.

But the silver was spent in vain, and it was still a lot of money.

Now...... The money in his hand is almost gone. Eagles

They couldn't calm down anymore.

But Jinyiwei is still putting grain, looking at the trend of joy.

If you don't continue to hoard, once more and more grain is released, the price of grain will inevitably plummet.

What's more, if you don't buy this grain, you have to give it to the homeless, and if the homeless can barely survive, how can they use everything to buy food?

In fact, from the very beginning, it was as if they were on a fire stand, and they could not advance or retreat.

Just as everyone was lamenting.

But someone came in a hurry. Eagles

"Not good, not good."

The person who came was the steward of Zhou Ju's family, and he looked anxious.

When everyone heard this, they raised their heads one after another.

But when he saw the person in charge, he panted and said, "Gentlemen, it's terrible, it's terrible, Jinyiwei...... Today we put grain again. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly changed color.

Zhou Juren's face was also ugly, but he still tried his best to stabilize his mind and said as calmly as possible: "They also release grain on weekdays, why are they making such a fuss today?" ”

"No, no." The steward shook his head like a rattle, and said: "This time is different, a few days ago, the porridge water was put in more than a few meters. But today, not only have a few porridge sheds been added, but also ...... This porridge water...... Looking at the rice that was put in before, it was a few percent more. This porridge can be set up with chopsticks. Those displaced people...... They all gathered around to receive the porridge, and the food was delicious. "Eagles

When everyone heard this, their faces were as white as pig's liver, and they were dumbfounded, and they were directly silenced.

The person named Wang Jin before widened his eyes and said angrily: "Ill-intentioned, this is ill-intentioned." ”

Zhou Juren's face became more and more solemn, he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, just sighing.

Wang Jindao: "Where did they get so much grain? Zhou Gong, we have filled in all our lives and fortunes, if the price of food drops......"

Several other grain merchants also wailed: "Who is willing to buy our grain in the market now? There is no such thing in the world. ”

Zhou Juren took a deep breath and said, "With so much grain today, it seems that it is ...... It seems to be coming for us, is this because we bought too little food from their Jinyiwei? It's just that...... How much grain do they have in their hands? ”

The crowd was silent. Eagles

Only one person said in a low voice, "What should I do now?" ”

The tone of these words was very light, but it made people feel that the person who spoke had no master.

The problem now is that everyone's grain is piled up in the barn, these are everyone's lives, once the price plummets, Jin Yiwei continues to put grain like this, they will be completely finished.

After so many years of savings, it is impossible to fall short.

Zhou Juren sank his eyebrows and said: "Find a way to buy some Jinyiwei's grain, continue to test one or two, Qixia's side, I have already taught someone to investigate." ”

"In addition......" Zhou Judao: "Governor Liu's side, you have to think of a way, hmph, things have come to this point, does he want to stay out of it?" ”

"Then there is the side of the chief and the chief of armor in various places...... Also teach them to make a little movement...... "eagle."

Zhou Juren sat down, took a sip of tea, and still had a calm face.

In the past, he would cover it up with a few words of benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and the like.

But today, even the benevolence and morality of these people are not interested in talking, but they just said: "Now, it is about everyone's family business, whether it is life or death, just look at these days, don't be discouraged!" ”

Everyone shook their heads, all smiling wryly, but they still tried their best to barely cheer up.

…………

In a small rented building in Kaifeng Prefecture, people often come in and out.

Wang Wu, the general banner of Jinyiwei, as well as Zhou Hu, the officer of the model battalion, and Zeng Changren, the clerk of the Taiping Mansion, were responsible for selling rice and soup porridge every day. Eagles

Among them, Chief Zeng was responsible for soup kitchens, and Wang Wu was responsible for patrolling to strictly prevent committing adultery. Zhou Hu of the model battalion was responsible for the defense.

The latest secret edict has been sent, and after the three of them read it, they discussed it at the moment, and then they started to act separately.

Soon after, on the side of the porridge shed in Dongcheng, a scribe began to beat the gong.

It's the day of soup giving again.

Many homeless people gather here, waiting for two meals of porridge and water every day.

"All come, all come......"

The overwhelming crowd of people is surging towards this side very quietly. Eagles

The scribe shouted: "From today onwards, everyone must register, on this side of Dongcheng, set up Dongcheng Production Guard, and the chief flag officer of Jinyi Wei is temporarily in command of Wei, and everyone registers their names and ages, and each receives a wooden card." ”

After eating here for seven or eight days in a row, the displaced people have a certain trust in the scribes here.

After all, eating and drinking for nothing, according to the rules of the government in the past, it is not easy to get relief, not to mention that the porridge and water are not eaten by people.

But here, it is a real rice porridge, not only that, from the beginning it was just gruel, and now this porridge water, instead of a downward trend, there is more and more rice in it, more and more viscous, this daily porridge, is about to turn into white rice.

Even in a good year, their food may not be so good, let alone at this time.

People who have experienced great disasters, experienced life and death, and eaten tree bark and soil will especially cherish the hard-won days when they can eat porridge.

At the moment, almost everyone did not hesitate, and sure enough, by the porridge shed, a few scribes began to set up a desk, prepared bamboo slices, and the homeless people stepped forward to dictate their names, ages, and some characteristics. Eagles

Immediately, the scribes recorded them with different bamboo pieces according to their origins and ages.

Because of the catastrophe, the people became homeless, and now the household has become the top priority.

Every 10 households are a team, 100 households are set up in 100 households, and then there are 1,000 households on the side of Dongcheng.

After that, different classifications are made according to the age and gender of the people.

The clerk was the chief, responsible for the affairs of the old and the young, women and children, all the old and the young, all compiled together, and the women were responsible for sewing, building the stove, and at the same time helping to wash the rice, boil porridge, and burn firewood.

Naturally, among them, the teenagers under the age of thirteen were led by some literate scholars, who built some sheds and taught them some simple knowledge.

This is the experience in Taiping Mansion. Eagles

Although this kind of learning is very inefficient and the learning is extremely superficial.

But as long as you gather the children, even if it is just to teach them to draw on the ground with a stick, it is very important to inspire people's hearts.

People can barely eat and drink, but after they have the strength, they look into the distance, those teenagers, reciting poems along with others, which is enough to make people feel an indescribable sense of security.

Because of this, in the sound of Lang Lang's reading in the distance, the women who were responsible for helping to make porridge, burn wood, and sew almost all made up their minds.

What Zeng Chang did, in addition to registration, was responsible for the education of children, and that the women did what they could.

In addition, it was Zhou Hu of the model battalion, he selected more than 100 people, and took a few captains of the model battalion, organized them together, and distributed only ordinary wooden sticks to train them.

In addition to drills, it is to be responsible for some simple security, or to select some people and teach them to patrol the official roads along the way and guard the grain routes. Eagles

These men eat more food every day than others, and all the people selected are mothers-in-law or children.

There are children in Dongcheng, providing food and drink, teaching reading, and mothers-in-law sewing people with peace of mind.

In addition, they themselves have also received the favor of the brocade guard, so even if they are asked to go to a farther place and take on some guard work, they are absolutely relieved.

As for the other strong men, they have been organized by Wang Wu, some are responsible for inspection, some are responsible for repairing bridges and roads, and some are ...... is responsible for transportation, and there are even special hundreds of households to take people to collect the nearby corpses for burial.

A construction team of 1,000 households was responsible for logging and began to build thatched houses directly near the eastern city.

Originally, these homeless people had no place to live, and where they had stuttering, they gathered here, but now, they need to provide them with shelter from the wind and rain.

The newly built thatched hut was first allocated to the children for studying, and it was also allowed for the children to perch at night. Eagles

After that, the houses were given temporary shelter to the old men and women, and the strong men still lived in the wilderness outside the city.

But no one seems to complain.

"Whoever is barely literate, come, come." From time to time, there were scribes shouting.

Immediately afterward, someone timidly came out and said, "I ...... it."

"Where's the business card?"

The scribe looked at the timid young man, who should be considered an adult, and did not go to school, but as a strong man, he was responsible for digging a pit nearby, and he looked disgraced at this time.

The young man took out the bamboo slices, and the scribe only looked at it: "Liu Jianye, this name ...... It doesn't look like an ordinary farmer's ......" eagle

"My family used to have some land, and some people in the family had read ......books," Liu Jianye said.

The scribe didn't talk nonsense, and said directly: "Okay, follow me." ”

Then the scribe chose a dozen more men, and then led them to a place.

This new house has been hung up with a sign on the medical clinic.

The first two people in Confucian shirts came out, they seemed to be doctors, and soon, Liu Jianye became an apprentice in the medical institute, responsible for helping the doctors.

Because of the bad environment, there are many people who get sick, and although Liu Jianye is an apprentice, he is very busy, he has to be responsible for sorting the medicinal materials brought from the Taiping Mansion, and sometimes he has to follow the doctor to treat the sick or take care of some patients.

After seven or eight days, suddenly there was a shout outside: "Come and take a handle, take a handle...... "eagle."

Someone shouted.

Liu Jianye came out and immediately ...... Then he saw that the escort was carrying several more carts, and the people standing on the carts shouted loudly.

Immediately afterwards, many strong men flocked over, and Liu Jianye recognized that one of them was his father, Liu Jian.

Liu Jian is also a rough reader of writing and ink, and now he follows the scribe as a helper every day, at this time he yelled hysterically: "Unload the goods, send them to the warehouse first...... Slow down your hands and feet, handle it gently......"

Liu Jian looked extremely excited, saw his son, and said with a smile: "You come too." ”

Liu Jianye stepped forward and took a big bag from the car, which was not heavy, so he worked hard to carry it on his shoulder.

The man on the side: "This kid is small, he looks like he is still half a big child, teach him to carry a small one." "Eagles

Liu Jian said: "He is not young, he is sixteen years old, he can endure this hardship, and he can't teach him to eat white rice." ”

Liu Jianye silently carried the bag and went to the warehouse.

On the side of the treasury, there are clerks who are responsible for registering and entering the warehouse.

There were a lot of people gathered outside, chattering.

The scribe said to the people: "Call every hundred households and the banner officials, and let them come with strength." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Liu Jianye and said, "Are you from the medical institute?" ”

Liu Jianye nodded. Eagles

The scribe said: "Then you can keep it, the medicine center has few people, and you have enough for one person." ”

Liu Jianye said: "What is this for......

"Hair clothes and bedding ......," said the scribe, "Of course, not everyone can receive them, and the ready-made clothes and bedding that are being sent now are not enough, so they will be distributed to those under the age of eighteen and over fifty years old, and the rest of the people should be delayed." I'll take a look at your medicine ......."

The scribe bowed his head, looked at the book, and said: "There are only four people over fifty years old, and they can only receive four sets. ”

The crowd was in turmoil, and no one expected it...... They also distributed bedding and clothes.

Although the strong people here are not eligible for the issuance for the time being, at this time, many people are full of smiles.

This is a very rare thing, you must know that not long ago, they were hungry and cold, and could become dry bones on the side of the road at any time. Eagles

And now, there is food and drink, women and children have been resettled, and there are still new clothes to wear and bedding to keep out the cold.

Isn't this the New Year every day?
