Chapter 10 Crowd Feelings
Zhao Guangyuan held back the fire in his chest and didn't speak, and his subordinates didn't dare to speak.
Sun Zefang glanced at each other, and Sun Ze said: "This time, King Qin suggested borrowing grain and silver from the nearest big households from the disaster area, which is an excellent idea. In previous years, the disaster relief silver was allocated from the household department of the capital, and it was transported all the way, with many checkpoints and exploits, until there was little left in the hands of the victims. ”
Zhao Guangyuan snorted, Zhao Guangjin came up with this idea just to make up for the disadvantage of Cangxian Lanxian to protect the people, and he abandoned the city and fled. In order to avoid burning himself, he had to give up asking for money from the household department and borrow it from large households.
However, it saved the official bank of the household department and was exploited by people from both sides.
Zhao Guanghuan is also stupid, Zhao Guangjin's people have made such a big mistake, officials at all levels in Lizhou have not acted from top to bottom, and the victims have been suffering outside the city for many days, and the number of dead and injured is unknown, and their hearts can be punished! It was time to take this opportunity to bite off a piece of King Qin's flesh and completely overturn him and press him to the soles of his feet, which allowed Zhao Guangjin to turn over.
Idiot.
Zhao Guangyuan thought that tens of thousands of troops were stationed near Lizhou, and he also let the displaced people invade Cangxian, until the city gate was lost, and the people were killed and injured countless times, and the turbid fire in his heart was hard to dissipate.
"The crown prince and the king of Qin are using the people of the world as tools to attack." In order to achieve the goal, unscrupulous means.
There is simply no ethics and no bottom line!
After thinking it through, he commanded one after another......
"Ordered people to transport the grain stored on the island for next year, and went to Yanzhou for disaster relief, and along the road under the banner of this king, it was said that the king used the grain grown by the sealed fields of the food yi, and used the tax of the food yi in the next ten years to convert it into silver to buy grain for disaster relief, and told the victims along the road that if there is nowhere to go, they can go all the way to Yuedi, and this king will buy the good land in Yuedi and hand it over to them to plant."
"I also instructed Li Mao and county officials to do a good job of receiving the victims of the disaster, and to make proper resettlements, and not to pass the buck."
All the subordinates were stunned, "Lord Wang? ”
Is the prince ready to lie dormant and ready to walk in front of people? Isn't that not good?
Fang Da still understood Zhao Guangyuan, and slapped his thigh, "There's nothing bad about it." This time, King Qin yin the prince, and still want to profit in the end? Beauty doesn't kill him. It was time for our prince to go into the water to stir things up, and those ministers in the court didn't think that there were only the crown prince and the king of Qin. Let's show them, they have other choices, our prince is the prince. In terms of identity, who has his preciousness! ”
When all the subordinates heard this, their eyes lit up, and their hearts were full of excitement. But no, their prince is the concubine of the queen of the Yuan, and the prince is not as valuable as their prince!
Done!
They knelt down and said: "My subordinates obey the order of the prince!" ”
"Yanzhou is not far from the northwest, and then send a letter to the northwest, ask about the situation there, and then send 100,000 stone of grain to Hangu Pass, and 100,000 stone to Ningwu Pass, and say that it is allocated to the families of the soldiers in the affected areas of the army."
"The prince is righteous!"
If the water is to be stirred, it must be muddy, don't you think that ten years have passed, and Lu Guogong, who was in charge of the army in the past, has no descendants?
It is also necessary to let the ministers of the court and the central government see that the prince is hypocritical and righteous, and the king of Qin is insidious and vicious, which are not the actions of Ming Jun. Their prince is the candidate favored by the first emperor! Don't think that there are only the crown prince and the king of Qin, this choice of succession, and their prince!
The crowd of subordinates was surging, excited, excited, and eager to raise their arms and shout to the world, and tell the world that there are still their kings in the world!
He also listened to the king's instructions, "Command all the ships on the island to go south to buy grain and store it on the island for later use." ”
"Yes!"
"From now on, one more hour of training on the island! Be on guard everywhere! ”
"Yes!"
"Order the Iron Department to step up the production of more weapons. Build some more ships on the ship's side. ”
"Yes!"
Soon, the news that some grain merchants in various counties in Vietnam were collecting grain at high prices reached Li Mao's ears.
As soon as the early rice was harvested, two more crops of grain were planted in Yuedi, and two crops of grain had been planted, so it was understandable to sell the last season's grain, and the people could also get some more silver in their hands for household use. However, the huge amount of grain purchased gradually aroused Li Mao's suspicions.
Whether there will be a better harvest of grain in the second season, and whether the time will be cooperative, is not yet known, the people should have saved some grain for the second half of the year to chew, but now as soon as the grain merchants put a high price, the people will take out all the grain stored at home.
If the other party has a calculating mind, there is no harvest of the second season of grain, and the people have no grain in their hands, how will the people of Yue Di chew it in the second half of the year? How to survive the winter? When the time comes, the people of Yue will flee the famine and riot again?
The more land is near the sea, and the people who can't survive at that time have entered the sea and become pirates, looting everywhere, so can he still have a good prefect?
Li Mao's heart was pounding, and he was about to take people out to meet those grain merchants for a while, and then instructed the counties and ordered the mayors of various places to come to discuss countermeasures, but the master came back from outside.
After talking to Li Mao, Li Mao died down.
Those grain merchants are all the people of the king of Yue?
The king of Yue wants to buy grain and send it to the disaster, district? Do you want to send it to the Northwest Army? King Yue also said that if the second crop of grain could not meet the expected harvest, he would buy grain from the south and sell it to the people at a low price? Won't the people have a hard time this winter?
Li Mao was stunned for a long time, what is King Yue doing here?
A person who has been guarding the imperial tomb for ten years, why should he go to this troubled water?
"My lord, shall we meet those grain merchants for a while?"
Seeing Li Mao's expression change, the master couldn't guess what he meant. The people of Yue have only been able to eat for two years, and now some people collect grain at a high price, and because the second season of grain has been planted, almost everyone has exhausted their family grain and sold it to grain merchants.
The master didn't know what King Yue was going to do, but he was also worried that there would be no harvest of the second season of grain, and the people would not be able to eat. Then the sin of the adults will be great.
Li Mao pondered for a long time and shook his head, "No need." One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, why should Lord Ben block people's financial paths? Besides, didn't the king of Yue guarantee that if there was no harvest of the second crop, he would buy grain from other places and sell it to the people at a low price. Let's just look at it. ”
Just believe in the king of Yue this time.
It's just that the officials should also go to the fields a few times on a regular basis, and if the fields are not good, they can also make plans in advance.
Because Li Mao did not intervene, the king of Yue collected grain in Yue very smoothly, and a steady stream of grain was transported to all parts of the state.
In the Qiya Library, two students from a poor family are copying books.
There are a large number of books in the library, they have never read so many books in their hometown, they have never been exposed to so much knowledge, and when they enter this library, they are like rats entering a rice tank, and they are reluctant to go out.
Because of the large number of people who borrowed money, no matter how many books were not enough to borrow, the king of Yue was considerate of them and gave students from poor families like them the opportunity to copy books, a book can range from a few to dozens of yuan, and there is a free supply of tea.
In the morning, they entered the library, carrying two dry biscuits, and with the tea provided by the library, they could read or copy books for a day in the library.
During the intermission, the two put aside their laughter, rubbed their stiff wrists, glanced left and right, and whispered to their partners on the side: "Have you heard, I heard that King Yue sent people to buy a large amount of grain, and sent it to the disaster and the people, and also bought the corresponding grain with ten years of food tax and silver to send to the disaster and district." ”
The other nodded, "I heard." Yue Wang Gaoyi! Compared with those people in the court, King Yue is the one who really cares about the people. ”
Those people said to donate as much as they wanted, and who saw them give money? In the end, how many people are in the hands of the people? Layer by layer, it didn't fall back into their hands in the end!
"I heard that the grain sent by King Yue was escorted by veteran soldiers all the way, how did you say that King Yue got those people?"
"It's not. When I heard that the king of Yue was about to transport the grain on the Zhuangzi of Yuedi, some righteous soldiers along the coast of Yuedi heard about it, so they volunteered to escort it, and some veterans along the road heard about it and automatically joined the escort team. ”
"But I've heard that those righteous men are pirates!"
"Don't talk nonsense, as long as they escort the grain and deliver the grain to the people, then they are righteous men. What about the officials who were still in Daqi in Lizhou before, and when the displaced people came, didn't they abandon the city and flee? I will recognize whoever is good to the people. ”
"Yes, I do!"
Although the two of them spoke quietly, they were also surrounded by poor students who copied books, and when they heard this, they also gathered around and discussed fiercely......
I heard that the king of Yue, who guarded the tomb for ten years, also donated the taxes for ten years after the food, and let people send food to the disaster, the district, and some righteous people along the road admired the escort all the way, and the hearts of these poor bachelors also warmed up.
"We also have some silver money in our hands, and we also donate it to King Yue! Let the king of Yue buy food and send it to the disaster and the people! ”
"Yes, we donate food too! Let's go, let's go to the owner! ”
