Chapter 708

Natural disaster, man-made disaster, grain, anti thief

A series of things made the courtiers all anxious and confused.

Wende's seven year crime is too old!

At the beginning of the new year, nothing good happened.

The whole thing.

Any one of them may overturn the foundation of the state of the Zhou Dynasty and change the name of the whole country.

Wende Di vomited a mouthful of blood and refused to see him. A person sitting quietly in the hall, a sitting is three or four hours.

There's a man-made counter!

There's a man-made counter!

He asked himself that he was a diligent and thrifty emperor.

On his deathbed, the late emperor left him a mess and numerous big holes.

Over the years, he worked hard to mend the mess, and finally made up for the accumulated money over the years.

He has achieved the most perfect degree that an emperor can do. Why is there artificial counter reaction?

Why does the Lord refuse to open his eyes and bring down natural and man-made disasters every year?

Is it true that, as the anti thief said, their father and son are not in the right position, and heaven can't even see it and punish them?

"Your Majesty, it's dark. Have a rest."

Is it already dark?

When Wende came back to God, he found that the light was dark and the candle was flickering.

He slowly turned his head and looked at Chang en, "am I a faint monarch?"

"Your Majesty, spare your life!" Chang en kneels on the ground kowtow to plead guilty.

"I forgive you for your innocence. I ask you, am I a Hun Jun? Answer truthfully, or I will kill you. "

Chang en swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said nervously, "Your Majesty is certainly not a faint monarch. Your majesty is diligent for you. Last year, the household department finally had a small balance. This is a good omen. "

"If it is a good omen, why is there a man-made rebellion?"

Emperor Wende looked desolate and asked a series of questions: "in recent ten years, natural disasters have occurred every year. I am afraid that the people will be overburdened and that the small people will lose their land and go bankrupt. Since becoming the emperor, I have not increased taxes once, and even reduced them several times.

Moreover, the local government issued corvee and corvee, which should not be strict. Even for three years, they even gave the local government an extra sum of money for corvee, for fear that the small people would suffer for the corvee.

I've done everything I can. Why are there people who oppose me? Because of the natural disaster? I've been trying to find a way to relieve the disaster. Why don't they give me a little time? Why revolt?

I am not a despot, not to mention a tyrant. But every year natural disasters, not a year of good weather, and now there are man-made counter-measures. Is it really God's punishment? "

Chang en quickly said, "Your Majesty, don't get into the top of a bull's horn! Those who are anti thieves and ambitious are not rebellious because they have no food to eat, but only because they want to rebel.

What kind of punishment, what's wrong? How can those mud legs know these things. It is clear that someone is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, fish in troubled waters, and take the opportunity to cause trouble. It's just that the real identity of the person behind the scenes is still unclear. "

Vander frowned. "You have a point. Those words, by no means ordinary people can think of, there must be experts behind. Do you think the people behind the scenes are in the capital? Is it possible that someone would not accept my throne and conspire against it? "

Chang en's heart was pounding, and he was about to jump out of his throat.

That's scary!

There was a sense of impending storm.

He lowered his head and carefully said, "Your Majesty, the most important thing is to send troops to suppress the anti thieves. As for the person behind the anti thief, sooner or later we can find out. Secondly, we should find a way to raise food and forage for disaster relief, and we should not allow the disaster to expand. We should also prepare enough kinds of grain. "

Wende Di nodded repeatedly, "we must send troops to suppress the anti thieves, and at the same time, we ordered Jin Wuwei to inspect all parts of the capital. Because of the shortage of food, sweet potato is planted. Sweet potato yield is high, even if drought can still be sown. As long as you can live, it doesn't matter if you eat sweet potatoes every day. Through this year and next year, the situation will certainly get better. Certainly

Chang en cried with joy, "Your Majesty is finally up! The courtiers will be happy for your majesty. This is the lucky thing of Dazhou

Emperor Wende stares at Chang en, and his eyes are shining with dazzling light. "All the Ai Qing from the six departments of the three provinces of Xuan are here to meet you. How many princes of Xuan are here to meet?"

"Your Majesty, it's dark..."

"Xuan!" The emperor Wende broke off Chang en's words decisively.

"No!"

Chang en bowed down to accept orders, and announced all adults to enter the palace to discuss countermeasures.

……

Early the next morning, Emperor Wende issued several decrees.

From now on, the capital has been under martial law since Xu Shi.

The price of grain is limited. Who dares to bid up the price of grain or is reluctant to sell it after closing the door!

Whoever dares to spread rumors, create trouble and cause panic among the people, regardless of their status, will be put into imperial prison. Jin Wuwei has the right to change his mind and deal with it first and then.

Lingsanhe express must deliver the relief grain and sweet potato to the disaster area within half a month.

The government of the Ministry of housing was ordered to send officials to the disaster area and organize the victims to replant.At the same time, several decrees were sent to the Ministry of war, Beijing camp.

Revolt in front of us, and the whole country's machinery is in full swing.

At the same time, Jin Wuwei dispatched some elite to the anti thief gathering place to investigate the truth of the rebellion.

……

Sanhe express capital headquarters is about three or four miles away from the Weishui wharf and only a few miles away from the official road.

The surrounding terrain is open, and there is no combustible material in the mountain forest.

Choosing this location, whether by ship or by land, has become extremely convenient.

Express station leading to the Weishui wharf, as well as the official road, have built a spacious and smooth cement road.

Behind the office building are rows of tall warehouses.

On the side of the warehouse, there are hundreds of carriages, donkey carts and mule carts arranged in order. There are special personnel to maintain and guard them.

Early in the morning, Sanhe express headquarters people in and out of the crowd.

One by one, carriages set out in an orderly manner, carrying bills to Huangzhuang, Jingcang, and other major grain shops. They brought back carts of sweet potatoes or coarse grains.

After the registration, all of them were transported to the Weishui wharf and loaded to the south.

According to the decree, the grain should be transported to the disaster area within half a month.

The fastest way is by water.

Land transportation is the second choice.

Weishui wharf, less than a day, Sanhe Express has transferred hundreds of cargo ships.

Fill one up and pull out.

Other cargo ships, whether private or government, are standing on the sidelines. Do not occupy the wharf.

It is the emperor's order to transport disaster grain, and all ships must give in before the emperor's order.

No concession?

Let's see whether it's the stubble on the head or the knife stubble of the soldiers in Beijing.

Each cargo ship is responsible for transporting dozens of soldiers from Beijing to the South as well as transporting food for disaster.

Sanhe express, everyone, is in accordance with their assigned work, step by step, orderly and busy.

Everyone is familiar with their own work, has done more than a thousand times, closed eyes will not make mistakes.

The biggest advantage of proficiency is that it can minimize mistakes.

It can ensure that the process is complete and correct without mistakes, omissions and confusion.

Mr. Zhao, the Minister of Hubu, personally brought people to Sanhe express headquarters to check.

Everyone only cares about their own process. It seems very busy and chaotic, but the efficiency is very high.

Looking at the carts of grain from the express station, to the Weishui wharf, loading and pulling, the Minister of Hubu, Mr. Zhao, secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"At this speed, the whole process of water transportation, it is estimated that in half a month, food will be delivered to the disaster area."

"Mr. Zhao is too happy to watch!" Bai Zhong accompanied Zhao, "according to the news sent from the south, because of the drought, some river sections are cut off. When you get to the end of the river, you have to go by land. "

The Minister of Hubu, Mr. Zhao, frowned, "what can I do? Should we take the land route, can we guarantee that the disaster food will be delivered to the disaster area in half a month? "

Bai Zhong said: "our family is urgently transporting vehicles and horses to gather at the cut-off point. Also informed all over the express station, ready to receive goods. At the same time, toll stations around the country will also fully cooperate. Whether they can be sent to the disaster area in half a month, we can only say we will do our best. "

Zhao said, "it was right to set up Sanhe express at the beginning. If the imperial court were to transport this batch of grain, it would never have reached the disaster area without a month. And the consumption on the way is astronomical. "

Bai Zhong laughed and asked curiously, "how could Chaozhong think of using sweet potato to relieve the disaster? They even plan to replant sweet potatoes in the south. "

"There is no way. The grain in Jingcang cannot be moved, and there is no grain in other places. Only sweet potatoes, save a lot. Saving a life is a life. "

"Are these sweet potatoes enough to eat?"

"Not enough! But at least it can solve the urgent need. "

So it is.

There are many sweet potatoes, but there are more victims.

Last year, there was an explosion of sweet potato wine making, and a large number of sweet potatoes were used to make wine. The rest of the sweet potato, said to be a lot, on average to each disaster victims, in fact, very few.

In the south, because of the fertile land and eating habits, there are very few people planting sweet potatoes. More rice, more winter wheat.

For example, in the south of the Yangtze River, rice fields are even used to grow mulberry trees and raise silkworms.

It directly turned farmland into cash crop field.

It is no wonder that the imperial court has to transport sweet potatoes from the north to the southern disaster areas.

The disaster area did not grow sweet potato before!

You don't have to eat sweet potatoes.

Seeing off one cargo ship after another leaving the dock, Mr. Zhao's heart was hanging, half solid.

He said to Bai Zhong, "I haven't seen Madame Zhao for a long time. How is she?"

"My wife is raising a baby in another hospital. She is going to give birth. It's all good except for getting grumpy

Zhao said with great care: "sweet potato alone can only solve the urgent problem. Moreover, the sweet potato reserves are limited. Last year, sweet potato wine making was too hard. Seventy percent of the sweet potatoes in Beidi are used to make wine. The rest of the sweet potatoes, so many victims, will soon be eaten up. We still need to transport a large number of grain to the disaster areas to solve the problem of food shortage in the disaster areas. "Bai zhongzheng'er said with eight Classics: "Mr. Zhao is concerned about the country and the people, which is admirable. It's just that Lord Zhao told me that it's useless! I'm a small man in charge of chores. I don't have any food on hand. "

Zhao looked at Bai Zhong, "you have no food on hand, but your wife must have food on hand."

"Bai Zhong is very simple," my wife is about to give birth, I don't want to see foreigners. "

"Food is closely related to the fate of Dazhou and the lives of millions of victims. If your wife is just an ordinary housewife, I will not trouble her. However, she is not only the prince's wife, but also the owner of the four seas business. She should take responsibility at this time. "

Bai Zhong bared his teeth and laughed at Zhao, "it's no use saying these things to me. My wife said I would not be able to help. Why don't we wait until my wife has a baby

"By that time, everything will be late!"

"Then we can only say sorry!"

Zhao Da was so popular that his brain was congested.
