Yang Ming killed someone, isn't he worried about being exposed? A little bit.

Although Yang Su has sent people back to Beijing in advance, all parties have greeted each other, and Yang Ming is not familiar with any of the Dali Temple in the Criminal Department, but fortunately, there is a Yang Wang, who is Yang Su's own clan, and will help cover up.

What Yang Ming really counted on was Yang Xiong, the other party came to see him first on the first day he arrived in Luoyang, and he was hinting at Yang Ming in and out of his words, no matter what, this matter would not have anything to do with Yang Ming.

Yang Xiong is the person in charge of this eucalyptus, he said so, Yang Ming has nothing to worry about.

On the side of Yang Hui, the king of Qi, he was caught and hurt his feet, so in the following days, he was also very low-key, and he didn't look for the criminal department to investigate the eucalyptus.

However, they delayed the matter of borrowing grain, and it was not left behind, and the problem of food shortage in Changping was temporarily alleviated because of the Qinghe Cui family, but here in Yuzhou, they were already eating Liyang Cang.

After eating the Liyang warehouse, which warehouse can I eat?

To build Luoyang, it depends on the people's husbands, the people's labor, and the grain, without food, nothing can be done.

So right now, it's not Yang Ming who is looking for trouble with Yang Xuan, but Yu Wenkai, Yang Da, and the officials of various ministries who were sent to Luoyang.

Food supplies are not available, and their work cannot be carried out.

"Don't complain here, it's not the King of Qin who is responsible for renting the fields, and the King of Qin is not responsible for borrowing the grain, who should you go to find whom,"

In the face of hundreds of officials chattering in the hall, Yang Su directly threw out this sentence.

Yang Ming was indifferent, he originally wanted to delay the fortifications, but now that someone is helping to delay, why not?

Besides, as long as there is a shortage of food in Luoyang, Daddy Yang Guang will not be able to get on the horse when he digs the Tongji Canal.

The longest section of the Tongji Canal is the Huai River from Xingyang to Xuyi, which is mainly dug by Henan people, and the current Henan people are at the Luoyang construction site, and the next month's food has not yet been settled.

In fact, Yang Ming is in a very good mood now, it is the end of June now, and the matter of Tongji Canal has not yet been raised in the court, what does it mean?

It shows that Yang Guang also knows that Luoyang has dragged him down.

As long as Yang Ming can delay until autumn, the canal will definitely be closed this year, as Gao Gong said, digging the canal is a big deal, the best period is when the rain is abundant, because the rain is more, the water level will rise, thus aggravating the water potential, helping to wash the canal, saving manpower.

Sometimes you dig a ditch, but the current turns away from another place, breaking the embankment or damaging the town.

Therefore, digging ditches is generally done from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and it cannot be stopped in the middle.

Yu Wenkai also made a difficulty, Liu Quan, the Shaoqing of the Weiwei Temple, who was in charge of the construction of the palace, and Cheng Wei Wanqing, the secretary, had already made trouble with him several times, and Yang Su ordered a month ago to reduce the daily food of the people and reduce the working hours, so that the construction of the palace city was delayed.

The people can't eat enough, and the wood that was originally carried by fifty people now has to be carried by a hundred people, and they have no strength.

Luoyang City, what is the most important, the answer is the palace city and the inner garden.

Needless to say, the place where the emperor lived, brick by brick, stone and wood, was carefully selected.

In addition, to the west of Miyagi, there is also a royal garden, called Xiyuan, and Yang Guang named it Huitong Garden, which is the Shanglin Garden of the Tang Dynasty.

Huitongyuan, is the originator of the royal garden in Chinese history, the drawings have long been made by Yu Wenkai, north to Pishan, south to Yinque, a total area of 400 square kilometers.

There is an artificial lake in the West Garden, the lake will build abbot, Penglai, Yingzhou three immortal mountains, there are Yanguang, Mingcai, Hanxiang, Chenghua, Ninghui, Lijing, Feiying and other sixteen courtyards, there are more palace pavilions such as Qushui Pool, Qushui Palace, Cold Spring Palace, Qingcheng Palace, Lingbo Palace, Jicui Palace, Xianren Palace, etc.

The aqueduct enters the garden, named the Dragon Scale Canal, and there is an artificial sea within a radius of ten miles.

Such a huge project, but the current West Garden, not even a prototype has been built.

Yu Wenkai was also forced to be in a hurry, so he could only take people to the Yuzhou Mansion.

It is now June, the peony from all over the country is about to be lucky, as we all know, the best season for peony transplantation, is August, if the peony can not be planted this year, the style of Xiyuan will lose half.

Luoyang peony is the world, it started from the artificial planting of Luoyang Xiyuan in the Sui Dynasty.

"The reduction of the food supply was also a last resort after the old man discussed with the King of Qin," Yang said to the officials who had not yet left.

"Only in this way can we drag the grain to arrive, otherwise it will be eaten up at once, so many mouths, how to settle down?"

At this time, I saw Du Yan, a member of the criminal department, slapping the file in his hand on the table, grinning, he seemed to want to scold something, but in the end he still didn't scold, his face was flushed, and he walked away angrily.

He and Wei Fusi, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, went to various places in Yuzhou on the order of Yang Ming to investigate the granary matter, and the situation was not optimistic.

Most of the grain in Yuzhou is concentrated in a few large warehouses, and the remaining granary stocks in various states and counties are not much, although during this period, he also ruthlessly handled several corrupt county orders, but the results of raiding the house were unsatisfactory, so he was very aware of the urgency of the shortage of grain in Yuzhou.

The county order can have a few dollars, and his money has been paid tribute to the above, but Du Yan did not dare to check the above.

Therefore, the little food he and Wei Fusi brought back was not enough to stuff their teeth.

Next, one after another officials left their seats angrily, and when they left the Great Eunuch's Mansion, they found that many people were heading towards the Yuzhou Mansion, so they simply formed a temporary small gang and went together.

Yuzhou Mansion,

Yang Xuanmeng slapped the table and scolded angrily:

"One by one, you come to complain about this king? Who licked his face and went down to borrow food, it's me! Who is dealing with the matter of renting land day and night, it is me! At present, all parts of Yuzhou have been lucky, and the grain that is ready to be sent to Luoyang, who borrowed it, or me! ”

"Is the food supply cut off? The migrant workers at the Luoyang construction site can't eat? Or do you have nothing to eat? ”

Yang Yun was furious and said: "This king is not hungry alone, but you come to me, is it possible that whoever does the most is wronged, and who suffers more grievances?" ”

At this time, Shi Liujianzhi, the head of the palace, also stood up, and Zhao Yu Wenkai and others:

"His Royal Highness the King of Qi is in charge of the food supply here, but he can't control the distribution of food, our supply has never been interrupted, and the reduction of rations is not an order of His Royal Highness the King of Qi, you are really looking for the wrong person."

Yu Wenkai didn't dare to be angry at Yang Jian, but he dared to be angry at Liu Jianzhi, only to see him say with a gloomy face:

"Liyang Cang can't eat for long, where is your food? Why didn't I see it? How? Do you have to wait until Liyang Cang has bottomed out before you can take out the grain? ”

"Shangshu, what are these words? Do we have food and refuse to give it out? Liu Jianzhi said: "It takes time to transport grain, and you can't fly to Luoyang, His Royal Highness the King of Qi is trying his best to urge every day, and he has not dared to cut off Luoyang's use, you are good, complaining about us." ”

Yu Wenkai was furious: "Building Luoyang is a national policy, and the construction period is also set by His Majesty, and the current food can not last for half a month, but the food you borrowed is still on the way?" Once the food is cut off and the people are provoked, can you take this responsibility? ”

Liu Jianzhi said directly: "The food supply will never be interrupted, Shangshu has fire in his heart, and his subordinates can understand it, but why can't you understand the difficulties of King Qi?" ”

"You don't take the king of Qi to press me," Yu Wenkai said angrily: "The construction of the palace city has been delayed, and in ten days, if I can't see the food, you can go back to the capital with me to ask for guilt." ”

After that, Yu Wenkai didn't look at Yang Jun, and shook his head angrily and left.

"Dog thing!"

I don't know who scolded in the crowd, Yang Xuan on the main throne suddenly changed color, and said angrily: "Which traitor made a big nonsense and brought it out to this king." ”

For a while, dozens of guards rushed in with knives, and the palace was suddenly in chaos.

......

"If in another half a month, King Qi's food has not been delivered, what should we do?" Yang Su asked.

Yang Ming took his hand, paced back and forth in the hall, and frowned when he heard the words:

"Let's find some from local families and try to survive until the autumn harvest."

The main grain in Yuzhou is wheat, and wheat is not harvested in autumn, but in mid-July and early summer, and there is still half a month to go, it can be harvested.

However, the ancients called the season when wheat is ripe as wheat autumn, not wheat summer, because Cai Yong of the Eastern Han Dynasty has explained in "Chapters and Verses of the Moon Order": "Each hundred grains are spring with their first birth and autumn when they are ripe, so wheat is autumn with Mengxia." ”

Therefore, the autumn season of wheat that the ancients said was actually the early summer season.

It takes time to harvest wheat, it takes time to dry, and it takes time to collect taxes, so the annual tax on acres of land in Yuzhou is completed between October and November at the end of the year.

The wheat of the Great Sui is an annual crop, which is basically sown from September to December of the same year, and matures from June to August of the following year.

After harvesting, the moisture of the wheat is very large, so it must be dried repeatedly for about three or four days, and natural air drying will cause the wheat to become moldy and rotten.

But then again, drying depends on luck, and it can only be dried on sunny days, and once it rains, the time taken for this step will be extended.

"We can also urge the people below to try to requisition this year's grain as soon as possible," Yang Su said with a solemn face.

Yang Ming spread his hands and said, "Yuzhou Mu is not me, and it is not my responsibility to collect taxes." ”

"Alas......" Yang Su sighed, shook his head, and said nothing more.

At this time, a guard outside the door came to report, saying that it was Duyan, a member of the criminal department, who had been hung by King Qi on the girders of the palace because of insults to King Qi, which made people whip.

Yang Ming and Yang Su glanced at each other and were stunned at the same time.

What's this called? You could hold back with me just now, why couldn't you hold back in front of King Qi?

Yang Mingtuo smiled bitterly and said, "I'm tired of going to Yue Gong, bring people back, don't be killed." ”

Yang Su nodded and got up.
