Su Lie is the prince's person, if he hadn't relied on him to carry it for five days in Tianshui County this time, Yuwenshu would not have been able to complete the deployment of Fufeng County, although Yang Ming set it for seven days, and Su Lie was two days less, but the task was completed.

Yu Wenshu is a top smart person, he asked Su Lie to be knighted, Yang Ming agreed, and he was the Duke of Lintao County, and his father-in-law, Pei Renji, the Duke of Langya County, was only one level behind.

And Yuwenshu's second son, Yuwen Zhiji, because his father conferred the title of county duke, Wei Xuan's second son Wei Xiaojing, joined the military department as a contractor, and did not give the title, because Wei Xuan's eldest son died early, and the second son was destined to attack the lord in the future, so Wei Xuan's third son, Wei Xiaoyi, was given a marquis.

The Yin Shishi who killed Shibi was also made a county prince and sealed the Shangzhu Kingdom.

Li Jing and Yang Xuanting: That's later.

The imperial court has already sent envoys to the Eastern and Western Turks, what are they doing? Ask for money, compensate me for my losses, and let you pay tribute to me, if you don't pay tribute, I will continue to beat you.

In fact, it was just to scare that the Great Sui was unable to send troops anymore, because all the money was used in the army, which led to bandits in many places this year.

This time, the military salary could not be owed, and all the money earned by the paper mill and the Dyeing Department was allocated to the army, which was not enough, Yang Ming had to borrow more than 2 million yuan from rich businessmen such as Wu Shitong and He Chou to make up for the shortfall.

"There are still three months, and this year will be over, and the three months will be delayed, and when the tax revenue in Jiangnan comes up next year, all difficulties will be solved," Yang Yue said at the court meeting.

The tax center of the Great Sui is actually based on the population, where there are more people, where there are more taxes.

Guanzhong is counted as one, and Datong, Taiyuan, Linfen, and Yuncheng in Shanxi are counted as one on that canyon line.

The population density of Henan is mainly concentrated along the Yellow River in the north of Henan, and there are Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Jingzhou in the south.

To the west is the central region of Bashu.

Hebei is awesome, in Dasui, Shandong's population density is not high, but the whole territory of Hebei is a densely populated and highly concentrated area.

Taxation here has always been the main revenue of the state treasury, and when Hebei is in chaos, the country will be poor.

The treasury has been losing money for so many years, because Hebei has been in turmoil, and it can't collect much tax, and the imperial court has to subsidize it.

So Yang Ming said: "The taxes collected by Jiangnan next year will give priority to Hebei and help Hebei resume farming and production as soon as possible. ”

"The Eastern and Western Turks must be made to lose money," Yuwen recounted:

"It's not that they Guanzhong won't be like this this year, the war just happened to be in the crop growth stage, many acres of land have been looted and trampled with heavy losses, and Luoyang has to ensure the supply of Jingshi."

Cai Wang Yang Zhiji is the Eastern Capital Garrison frowned when he heard this:

"There is no food in the east, Your Majesty has consumed some of it during his southern tour, and the grain supplied to the capital this year is more than 8 million stones, and the four warehouses are almost empty, and the Eastern Capital Imperial Court can't count on it."

Lu Chu raised his eyebrows and said: "There is no food, the people of Guanzhong have suffered again this year, and it is almost inevitable that bandits will be rampant, but it is not appropriate for Guanzhong to use heavy canons, so we still have to think of a way to solve the food problem, say hello to Wang Shilong, and let him send some food from Bashu, Guanzhong must be guaranteed." ”

"And Gao Chang, I also have to ask them for money," Yang Xuan said: "We have lost so much for him, if we don't give money, there is no way." ”

Yang Yue frowned and said, "How to give?" Why was Lu Boya kicked out, don't you know, if he increases the tribute for us and oppresses the local civilians, Gao Chang will still have a problem, we have to wipe his ass, and he can't do it. ”

Yang Ming nodded, raised his hand and said: "Forget about Gaochang, we still count on the trade of the Western Regions, this place can't be chaotic anymore, isn't the Qibi Geleng still locked up?" Send a message to the Tirethetes, and let them ransom them with 20,000 horses. ”

"Kill this man," Yuwen recounted.

Yang Ming said with a smile: "If you can exchange 20,000 horses, you can't kill them, you can't change them, and it's not too late to kill them." ”

This time, Tiele was basically abolished, and there were more than 8,000 prisoners thrown in the territory of the Great Sui Kingdom, more than 6,000 captured war horses, and the leader was also imprisoned.

The losses of the Eastern and Western Turks were not small, and the question of where to settle down with more than 30,000 captives is a problem.

Send it to the northeast, it's too far, how much food do you have to eat along the way? These people must be broken up.

Population is productivity, and the Great Sui needs population now.

Yang Ming said: "All the prisoners, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is responsible for the relocation, Bashu, Jingzhou, Hebei, and Henan can all settle some, and they must be scattered as much as possible, no more than two hundred people in a county, and let the rest go to mine and dig coal and repair canals." ”

More than 200 people, especially men, would form a local force, and the local magistrates would have a headache.

Cui Zhongfang nodded: "Two counties in Jingzhou have been flooded this year, and the following have been urging, this money, the minister really can't do anything." ”

"How much do you need?" Yang Ming asked.

Cui Zhongdao: "The Ministry of Civil Affairs has roughly calculated, at least more than 3 million yuan."

"Is there no money in the account?" Yang Ming said.

Cui Zhongfang nodded and said: "Of the seven million guan of the emergency reserve, there are only more than one million left, and it really can't be moved, and the war in the territory meets the regulations on the use of emergency money, so it was allocated early, and it is not only a matter of money." ”

"You say," Yang Ming said.

Cui Zhongfang said: "First of all, we must give relief, the extremely poor give rice, the second poor give money, the little poor give loans, relief, the reason why the poor are given (zhou) the poor, all because they have a little home, although they meet the great qi (jin), especially to survive, but the poor can only sit and wait to die, the period of the relief should be urgent, the law of the relief should be even, Yongan County and Jiangxia County official warehouses need to be opened, relief to the victims, but it is far from enough." ”

"Second, in order to adjust the millet, there are three kinds of millet, immigrants to the millet, to move the millet to the people, and Pingsu, Jingzhou two counties, Pingsu can not be done, can only use the first two, Guan Ziyan: Where the five grains, the lord of all things, the grain is expensive, all things will be cheap, the grain is cheap, the grain is cheap, all things must be expensive, the two are enemies, then they are not equal, now the two counties are flooded, the price of grain will rise, the court must intervene, with the price of the disaster, the millet relief."

Migration to the people means to move the victims to places where they have food, and migration to the people means to send grain from areas that have not been affected by the disaster to the disaster areas, and the two should be carried out at the same time.

Cui Zhongfang continued: "The third is pension, which is also three points: giving porridge, living and redeeming children, the imperial court must always open a porridge shed, and if you get one meal a day, you will not die, so as to protect the lives of the victims, and for those who are sick and sick, they must provide medicine and shelter, and those who sell their children to survive, the imperial court will redeem their children." ”

"The fourth is to deal with the aftermath, there are four points, the first is to provide a safe place for the civilians who are in exile after the disaster, and to re-grant acres of land, the second is to delay the tax (juān), that is, to defer taxes or tax exemptions, to provide time for the victims to recuperate, the third is to lend, the imperial court should open loans, encourage civilians to borrow money to buy new production, preferably interest-free or low-interest, the fourth is to thrift, the affected county and county offices, daily expenses should be thrifty, and the people to tide over the difficulties."

Yang Ming was dumbfounded when he heard this, and slapped the table and said: "Good words for governing the country, listen to the words of the king, it is better to read a book for ten years, and the public disaster relief plan should be written into the law, which is the national policy of the Great Sui to save the famine." ”

Yang Yue also sighed: "The six departments of the three provinces were proposed by Cui Gong, and now the famine relief law is still more detailed and thoughtful by Cui Gong, and the pillar of the country is nothing more than that." ”

"That's it," Yang Ming said: "I ordered all counties in Jingzhou to allocate grain to supply the disaster area, and the affected people should also move to the rich land to eat, tax-free for three years, and the grain price will be sold at half the price on weekdays. Encourage wealthy businessmen to lend to the people, and those with high interest rates will raid their homes! ”

Cui Zhongfang said that there was no way, in fact, the method had already been thought of, but he didn't dare to do it, because one of them was to open the official warehouse, and he couldn't be the master.

The grain in the official warehouse is equal to the national treasury reserves, and although he is the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he must also ask the above.

This method saves a lot of money, because there is lending, and the people's money is lent to the people, and the burden on the state is lighter, but the court must also allocate some money.

In the name of Yang Rui, the king of Qin, Yang Ming allocated one million guan from the East Palace for disaster relief in Jingzhou, leaving a good reputation for his son as soon as possible.

Historically, as long as there is a disaster, there will be civil unrest, and as long as there is civil unrest, the official warehouse will be robbed.

Because only the official warehouse has grain, and many times, the official warehouse will not be opened, because it is used to allocate the whole country in the statistics of the whole country.

Therefore, during the harsh government period of some dynasties, once the disaster occurred, the grain in the official warehouse would be escorted away as soon as possible, so the robbery of the emperor's grain happened repeatedly.

Not all emperors will open a warehouse for relief, isn't there a famous saying in the TV series: The emperor has Kyushu Wanfang in his heart, a few counties, and if it is flooded, it will be flooded.

The country is rich and the people are poor, and the country is poor and the people are rich.

At present, the treasury of the Great Sui is in deficit every year, and it is not that all the money has been spent, although only a small part will benefit the common people, but after all, it will be used for the people.

Yang Ming really admires Cui Zhongfang, but in history, Cui Zhongfang has to hang up next year.

There is an old man in the court, if there is a treasure, I can't let him hang up.

Therefore, Yang Ming directly transferred two imperial doctors from the Imperial Physician Department, and in the future, he was responsible for Cui Zhongfang's physical maintenance, but if he had a minor illness, he immediately reported it to the imperial court.

"The eldest son of Duke Cui is now only a Dingtao County Order, which is the fault of the Ministry of Officials," Yang Ming looked at Cui Junsu, the servant of the Ministry of Officials.

Cui Junsu also felt that he was wronged, Shang Shuyu Shiji was in Jiangdu, and Gao Shengdao, the son of another squire Gao Xi, was still mourning, and now I was alone in Jingshi, and I was tired to death.

"It is indeed the fault of the minister, if there is a shortage of Jingshi, he should be recalled as soon as possible," Cui Junsu said.

Yang Ming raised his hand directly and said: "Don't be so troublesome, transfer someone out from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, let Cui Mintao go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, father and son are of the same heart, you have to help Your Majesty take care of it." ”

Let me offend people again? Who should I transfer? Cui Junsu agreed with a bitter face. (End of chapter)
