Chapter 193: The Great Calamity
It's not a good industry worth fighting for, even if Yu Zizhen went to the outside world under the banner of taking advantage of the fire to rob, but with Mr. Jiang's understanding of Yu Zizhen, he could easily guess that she was actually there to help.
The benefits were not reaped, but the notoriety was carried back, and he was almost stupidly cried by Yu Zizhen.
Yu Zizhen looked innocent, "Okay, I can't afford it!" ”
Mr. Jiang:
Mr. Jiang's blood surged, and he was almost so angry by Yu Zizhen that he drove directly to the west. At this moment, a villain yelled in his heart regardless of his dignity, "Is this a problem that you can afford it, but you can't afford it?!" ”
In view of the fact that Yu Zizhen is already showing signs of getting out of control, Mr. Jiang is determined to strengthen the control of Yu Zizhen in the future, so as not to let herself go and cause trouble casually.
Yu Zizhen has two more pairs of eyes around him, but whether these two pairs of eyes can look at Yu Zizhen depends on whether Yu Zizhen is willing to be watched by them, after all, Yu Zizhen has many ways to make them unable to play a role.
However, in order not to exacerbate the contradiction between her and Mr. Jiang, Yu Zizhen tried his best to settle on the surface for a long time.
In the days when she seemed to be peaceful, the officialdom of the capital broke out because of the death of Lord Wei, and there were many confrontations between various factions.
In private, Yu Zizhen did not respond to Yang Shixian's request to help her family, but on the surface, Yu Zizhen never let Mr. Jiang catch her any handles.
Mr. Jiang thought that she had finally grown up and been obedient, but he didn't know that Yu Zizhen was actually holding back her big moves.
According to the plot of the original book, in the year when Yu Zizhen was thirteen years old, there would be a drought and locust plague in Daqi.
Affected by the drought and locust plague, there are almost no crops in four prefectures in Daqi. At the beginning of the disaster, those local officials not only did not think about how to solve the problem quickly, but also found hollow out to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune from the disaster.
When the disaster became out of control, they did not dare to report the disaster to the court because of their weak hearts.
For the sake of their own dog head and official position, they chose to hide it after consultation. In order to prevent the news from leaking, they even used the army to guard the intersection to prevent the victims from running to other states and counties to let outsiders know about the serious disaster they had bothered to hide.
However, the victims of the disaster, who could no longer survive in their hometowns, would not sit idly by, and they would take their families with them, risking their lives to either climb mountains and mountains, or gather crowds to storm the checkpoints.
There are even some speculators who take the opportunity to incite the people to rebel and induce them to storm the government and rob them of food and property.
It is not a pity that the dog officials in the four states died, after all, they are just paying the price for their greed and stupidity, but those ordinary people who are already struggling to make a living are so innocent.
Because of the selfishness of a few people, not only did the people in the four affected states suffer countless casualties, but even the surrounding states and counties also saw soaring food prices and social turmoil due to the large influx of displaced people.
Those who were forced to become displaced and began to flee the famine with their families and families died on the way with despair and pain.
And those who have tasted the sweetness of chaos soon begin to be dissatisfied with just making themselves barely satisfied.
Following the dog officials and profiteers who made them hate, other ordinary people who were originally just living in peace and keeping to themselves soon became the targets of their plunder and oppression.
And those who originally lived in peace with themselves, after losing what they relied on for a living, in order to survive, either voluntarily or forced, basically joined the ranks of rebellion.
So like a snowball, the ranks of the rebels grew stronger and stronger day by day.
In this case, how can these four states still have enough for them to consume?
Instinctively, they targeted other states and counties around the four states.
At this point, this large-scale unrest can be completely hidden.
When the news reached the capital, civil and military officials began to argue over whether the imperial court should "provide disaster relief" or "quell chaos".
Finally, they fought for a result, and the rebellious army was already like locusts, and a large area around the four states had been calamitized.
During this period, they actually lost a lot of manpower because of many conflicts with the local defenders and officials, but who let them add some new homeless people to the team every time they went.
The speed at which the local defenders and servants eliminated the rebel army simply could not keep up with the increase in the number of rebel troops.
By this time, the turmoil had swept over more than one-third of the Great Qi, and disaster relief alone, or simply counterinsurgency, was obviously unable to solve the problem, so the officials and lords of the capital did not have to fight, and the imperial court quickly set a response strategy of sending troops and disaster relief at the same time.
However, the officials and lords of the capital had different opinions on the selection of the army and the people who sent them for disaster relief, the number of troops to be sent and the amount of money and food for disaster relief.
By the time they finally finished arguing, the large-scale turmoil caused by the drought and locust plague had already affected nearly half of the land and people of Daqi.
The ship, which was already full of holes, named Daqi, finally irretrievably ended up in destruction at an astonishing speed, quickly and completely.
Yu Zizhen didn't care if or when Daqi would destroy the country, but she couldn't watch nearly half of the people of Daqi die as described in the original plot because of lack of food and water and large-scale turmoil.
She was busy from the first month of the year she was seven years old to April of the year she was thirteen years old, and all the efforts she made during this period were all for this natural and man-made disaster that once affected half of the people of Daqi.
She studied frantically, amassed wealth, stockpiled grain, purchased industries, and trained manpower. In order to equip yourself with the ability to turn the tide in this year and at this moment.
Since a few years ago, he was ordered to open up the wasteland, buy land and grain, and have been constantly replacing the old grain in the warehouse with new grain Jiang, Wen, Lu, Zhou, Chen, Meng, Zheng, Ji, Liu and other people who served Yu Zizhen, as well as Yu Zizhen's friends, Fang Huaiying, Yang Shixian, Chen Hushan, Wei Heng, Mo Huaiyang and others who have also been asked by her to help with grain storage in the past two years, although they don't understand what Yu Zizhen is going to do, but they still follow her requirements or requests, and seriously help her buy grain and store grain.
Even Fang Huaiying, Yang Shixian, Chen Hushan, Wei Heng, Mo Huaiyang and others, when Yu Zizhen asked them to help with the storage of grain, he was still cheeky to give others an IOU first
Because she privately went to the past one by one to pay the debt, and while specifying the location of the grain storage, she did not make any requirements for them in terms of quantity, and everyone only thought that she took a fancy to their local connections, so they would find them.
