The time to come to Hu'er to rest and recuperate was very accurate, and on the way from Luoyang to Jiangdu, he had already carefully pondered all kinds of situations that might arise in the future.

He calculated that the crown prince would definitely not let Jiangnan successfully quell the rebellion, so the way to restrain him was to cut off food.

Lai Hu'er knew very well in his heart that the prince wanted to cut off food for Jiangdu, which could be described as fair and justifiable.

Therefore, after taking Liyang, he immediately rested, consolidated the city defense, built the barracks, deployed the defense line, and in the short term, he did not plan to use troops.

What are the functions of the four major warehouses in Luoyang?

First, the storage of the world's annual grain, depending on the situation of each locality, is allocated by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so where does the annual grain mainly come from? Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Jiangnan, Jingzhou.

Shanxi's grain self-sufficiency in recent years has been very reluctant, and taxes will basically be used locally, so the other places that supply grain to the four major warehouses are currently only Henan and Jingzhou.

Don't expect the other three, Hebei, Shandong, and Jiangnan, to ask you for food with their mouths open now.

The second and most important point is that the grain reserves of the four warehouses are mainly supplied to Guanzhong, to be more precise, called Jingzhao County.

There was a big war in Guanzhong the year before last, and there has been no recovery so far, and there was a drought in several places last year, and there was a severe shortage of grain, and Luoyang's granary this year was put into storage in total, only 9 million stones, and 4 million stones were allocated to Guanzhong.

So for the rest, there are three mouths to ask, for whom?

"There is a big chaos in Hebei, half of the acres of land have been abandoned, from the common people to the merchants, there is a shortage of food, and the food gap reported by the counties is as high as 9 million stones," Fang Xuanling lamented in the main hall of the East Palace in Luoyang: "Now I can't save it even if I use the power of the eastern capital to save it." ”

This is called a war disaster, before the war, the people suffered, the war began, the people suffered, and when the war ended, the people suffered.

"What about Bashu's annual grain last year?" Yu Juluo also realized the seriousness of the matter, and said with an ugly face.

Fang Xuanling sighed: "The New Year's grain of Bashu has been sent to Guangtong Warehouse in Guanzhong, and the secretary of the Provincial Taishi Supervisor Geng Chunchen and Taichang Temple Shaoqing Xiao Huaijing said in front of His Majesty that the king of the Great Sui should gather the world's grain and rice in Jingzhao and leave the king's qi in Guanzhong." ”

Dou Kang and the others were dumbfounded, they wanted food, and there were many excuses, why did they choose this one?

"In other words, there is actually no shortage of food in Guanzhong?" Yang Yichen said.

Fang Xuanling explained: "Originally, there was a shortage, but with the Bashu New Year's grain, there is no shortage." ”

"We just transferred four million stones to Jingshi?" Dugu said: "What did those two warlocks say? ”

Fang Xuanling said: "Geng Chunchen played, the group is like a cover, green, yellow, red, white, black five colors are all equipped with qi, or the dragon pattern, or the phoenix color, it is called the Son of Heaven Qi, he looks at the sky, and the Son of Heaven is in Jiangdu." ”

"Huh?" Yang Yichen said: "What is the origin of this person? Isn't this nonsense? ”

Li Jingdao, the Duke of the State of Qi, said: "It's just nonsense, Your Majesty should immediately behead this official when he hears such words." ”

Yang Xuanzong's face was extremely ugly and said: "There is another sentence for people: Your Majesty needs to come to Jiangdu this summer to gather the spirit of the son of heaven." ”

Dou Kang rolled his eyes, yes, this is to make an excuse for himself to go down the river.

"That Xiao Huaijing, is it Xiao Ji's heir?" Yang Yichen asked.

The third child, Yang Xuanting, sneered: "Father and son, a pair of dog mongrels, when Lao Tzu returned to Beijing, he skinned him." ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, what a hatred? Say this?

Why did Xuan Ting say that? Because of this Xiao Huaijing's report to Yang Guang, it has something to do with their family.

Xiao Huaijing's great-grandfather Xiao Yi is the eldest brother of Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan, the family is orthodox Lanling Xiao, his father Xiao Ji is the first warlock around Yang Guang, in official terms, he is good at yin and yang arithmetic, but he died early.

At present, Yang Guang mainly asks Xiao Huaijing about superstitions about ghosts and gods.

What did Xiao Huaijing say? He said that Yang Xuangan felt that their family's ancestral grave in Huayin County was white.

If the white practice is obscure, obscure, there is nothing at first glance, and its shape is like a dog, called demonic spirit, and demonic spirit is seen, then there is no great mourning in the world, that is, there is a mutiny.

After Yang Guang heard this, he was uneasy, because their family also recognized Hongnong Yang as their ancestor, so they asked if there was a solution, and Xiao Huaijing replied that Xuan Gan should be allowed to move the ancestral tomb of their branch out.

Isn't this spitting in someone's face?

People's ancestral tombs, that must be a treasure of feng shui? Where did the demonic energy come from?

After listening to Xuan Ting's explanation, everyone was very surprised.

Xuangan's ancestral tomb, isn't that Yang Su? What is this for?

Dugu said: "This kind of gossip confuses the public, slanders the important ministers of the country, and should be killed." ”

Yang Ming smiled: "A warlock's words, if you want to target the eight central seats, he doesn't have that ability, Yuan Tiangang also said, that's not demonic energy, like smoke and not smoke, like clouds and not clouds, depressed, like a dragon, this is called Ruiqi, Ruiqi sees, then the king should have auspicious things, which can be regarded as helping Xuangan to block a disaster." ”

Xuangan's ancestral tomb is full of luck, it is the emperor who has auspiciousness, isn't this nonsense? This kind of stiff trick, so Yuan Tiangang can fool you, in fact, it is to pull the royal family to Hongnong Yang, which means that it is not the ancestral tomb of Xuangan who is angry, but the ancestral tomb of His Majesty.

Not to mention, many people think his explanation is very reasonable, after all, this kid is extremely popular in Jingshi, and he is a great warcist recognized by many big families.

But he is not Yang Guang's spokesperson, so Yang Guang will not be reused.

Just like Yang Jian's royal warlock Zhang Qiu Taiyi, he is still alive now, but Yang Guang will not use it.

Around every emperor, there will be a few such people, don't underestimate this kind of person, a few words made up can kill you.

"Xiao Huaijing has eaten the gall of a leopard, and he dares to mess with our family, and so is his father, why swallow his anger in front of this kind of person, a little six-rank official, find an excuse to kill him, it's a hundred," Yang Yuanqing was young and vigorous, couldn't swallow this breath, and said angrily.

Dou Kang couldn't help laughing and said: "Yuan Qing is as jealous as hatred, righteous indignation is human nature, this Xiao Huaijing's father doesn't seem to deal with Yue Gong when he was alive, right?" ”

"Well," the second Yang Xuan said: "The third surname is a slave, and my father naturally looks down on him." ”

Which three masters? Emperor Jing of Liang Xiao Fangzhi, Emperor Gong of Western Wei Yuan Kuo, Emperor Xuan of Zhou Yu Wenyun.

The biography of Xiao Ji in "Northern History" records: Lonely sex, not up and down with the minister, and not in harmony with Yang Su, so he fell and was depressed.

During the Kaihuang period, if you offend Gao Xi and Yang Su, you can only be depressed.

"Okay, okay, this kind of vain and ethereal slander has no effect on Xuan Gan, let's continue to discuss the matter of grain allocation," Yang Ming said.

In fact, he knew in his heart that Yang Guang must have the heart to clean up the Hongnong Yang family, but this would have to wait until after Yang Yue died.

The Yang family is too rich, and Yang Guang has always looked at them unpleasantly, although Yang Yue spit out the money sent out back then, he is still not satisfied.

Don't think that Yang Guang will take care of Yang Rui's feelings, what is there to scruple about? I'm your own grandfather, you're our family's species, is it possible that your elbows will turn out?

Historically, there have been more emperors who cleaned up their mother's family.

"At least half of the remaining five million stone grain in Luoyang must be kept," Dugu said: "That is to say, Hebei, Shandong, and Jiangnan can only be divided into two and a half million, how to divide it, Your Highness has to take the idea." ”

Xue Shu said: "The minister thinks that Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, and now he has come to Hu'er to win a big victory and take back eight counties, which is enough for himself, right?" ”

Everyone knows that he is telling a lie with his eyes open.

The taxes of the eight counties were collected in advance by Xiao Mo and Du Fuwei, leaving you with a mess, how can you collect it? Peel off another layer of skin?

You can do that, but you have to think about the consequences of doing so.

Dou Kang frowned and said: "In short, there must be more in Hebei, now that the trade on the canal line is recovering, and the gap in Hebei is too big, if it can't be appeased properly, with the fierce customs of the people in this place, and another rebellion, it will really be difficult to recover." ”

In fact, they are afraid of the Hebei people, and they would rather fight Jiangnan twice than fight Hebei again.

"The census of the counties, are there any results?" Yang Yichen asked.

Du Ruhui nodded and said: "At present, there is only a rough inventory result, a big chaos, Hebei has lost a total of 1.3 million people, of course, many of them have gone out to take refuge and have not returned." ”

Dou Kang sighed, supported his forehead with one hand, and looked sad.

Huangfu Wuyi said: "The minister suggested that 1.5 million stones of grain be allocated to Hebei, and 50 to Shandong and Jiangnan." ”

"That's not what the king of Qi wants," Li Jiancheng said: "If someone has a mouth, they will ask you for two million, and you will give 500,000, I am afraid that people will sue us all if they make a mistake." ”

Yang Ming smiled: "If you want to sue me, what are you nervous about?" ”

"I am upset for His Royal Highness," Li Jiancheng said indignantly: "One Guan Chong, one Liu Yuanjin, now they are all submissive to the imperial court, and they have to ensure that Jin Ling and Wu County have not suffered any more military disasters, it can be seen that the prince's strategy at the beginning is completely correct, if it weren't for the King of Qi in Jiangnan, Duke Wei would have done this matter, why not let Xiao thieves ravage Jingzhou like now." ”

Dou Kang grinned: "He can give as much as he wants?" Luoyang still has to have so much grain for him, 500,000 yuan, divided into five times, send it to him within two months, and he will figure out the rest by himself. ”

Yang Yichen nodded and said: "I think it's okay, Chen Ling's sea ship has also passed, and it can be supplied along the coast, he wants to empty Luoyang, and we don't dare to let him eat empty." ”

Yang Ming looked at Dugu Su and said: "Since everyone says so, then let's do it, Zhang Xutuo and Huaiyi's side have not spoken, but they must also be embarrassed, the current situation in Shandong is very good, and in three or two months, it will be over, and the food will be sent over as soon as possible, so that they can use it to appease the people." ”

Dugu Su nodded and said, "The minister will do it as soon as possible." ”

In fact, the situation in Shandong is very optimistic, after all, Zhang Xutuo has been working here for so long, and the relationship with the big families in various places is not bad, with the support of these people, he has already taken half of Shandong, and the remaining rebels are only two or three months away.

Moreover, Zhang Xutuo and them are not short of food now, because Zhou Fashang, who is the protector of Andong on the other side of the sea, has been supplying.

The jurisdiction of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate was half of Goguryeo.
