Chapter 18 Xianshan
"This is something you can't know." Liang Fenghou seemed to seize the opportunity and smiled, "If you know everything, then you are no longer a human being. Forecasting the future, you are an immortal among mortals."
Jiang Baichuan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm so presumptuous, please give me advice."
"The Blowing Camp was not founded by tactics or skills learned by a small country." Liang Fenghou Chen's head was loudly chanted, "but because of a person."
Jiang Baichuan was a little surprised and repeated: "One person?"
"Yes, this person was originally a comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-comrade-com
Jiang Baichuan said, "I don't know if there are such heroic people, but they are really loyal and courageous people."
"Not many people know about this." Liang Fenghou looked at him with emotion, "It was General Zhen who said it when he was drunk. That night he... Humph, don't say it." He stared at Jiang Baichuan, "Jiang Baichuan, you guessed it without a doubt. But remember, the person in front of the Chujiao Camp died because of careful work. This shame is something that all the soldiers of Manhong Pass will never forget for the rest of their lives. You can guess boldly, but you can't tell anyone, and you can't draw a sand map, so that those who are interested will have malice when they see you. Do you understand?"
Jiang Baichuan held his chest and fist up and said, "I understand!"
"You go to Chensha Camp to participate in the war tomorrow. If you can come back alive, I will reward you with the position of Guard Light Cavalry." Liang Fenghou patted his shoulder, "Now tell me what else have you guessed?"
Liang Fenghou's face was solemn. Jiang Baichuan looked sideways and looked at the barracks with weak lights around him. At night, military discipline clearly stated that bonfires could not be raised, and the soldiers would all be frozen. But the faint light of fire gathered, as if the only light in this starless night.
"Summer has arrived, and the flood in Yanzhou is inevitable. The southwest areas must collect food and grass to provide relief." Jiang Baichuan said in a difficult manner, "But now the recruitment order has all the strong men transferred to Manhong Pass. The retired soldiers are old and unable to cultivate. Food and grass..." He took a deep breath and said calmly, "I'm afraid we have to find a way for the food and grass in Manhong Pass."
Liang Fenghou took a deep breath and vomited out. He stared at Jiang Baichuan with a steady expression and said with a solemn expression: "Jiang Baichuan, if you are an immortal, I will hate you."
Jiang Baichuan smiled freely, but in a blink of an eye hesitant look. He said, "Do you still be resentful of the mobilization of food and grass in Manhongguan back then?"
Liang Fenghou looked at him for a while, then nodded slowly and said, "We are fighting outside, but the *** merchant is adulterated in the grain. This is my heart disease, and it is also the reason why I will never believe in merchants."
Jiang Baichuan thought for a while and said, "Now Pang Boyi is dead, the matter of collecting food and grass has fallen to the side."
"You can guess the situation but you can't figure out the person in the game." Liang Fenghou sneered and said.
"What good thing will King Jin be?"
Chapter 14
When Chen hour comes, the bronze chime sounds.
The newly promoted Shangshutai officials arrived in the court earlier than the previous officials. With a neat and young face, the new blood exchange made Emperor Jingcheng, who lifted the pearl curtain and walked into the hall, was refreshing.
The sleeves swayed. After the seat was seated, the servant shouted and bowed. The civil and military officials immediately bowed and bowed. Emperor Jingcheng smiled happily and waved his sleeves to signal everyone to get up.
The servant clerk closed his sleeves and shouted sharply: "If you have something to do, report it early, and leave the court if you have nothing to do."
All the officials stood up and looked around. A civil servant walked out from the Taichung Taichung and bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I have a memorial."
Emperor Jing Cheng looked at the man through the crown and bead curtain, and flipped his hand on his knees. The servant immediately handed over the list. He glanced at the list, then looked up at the civil servant and said, "Tell me."
"This summer solstice, I have recently received quick reports from hundreds of miles of Jiuzhou.
.” The civil servant took out the memorial from his broad sleeves, "Please read it."
After the attendant went down to take the memorial book, he turned around and handed it over to Emperor Jingcheng.
Emperor Jingcheng looked through ten lines at a glance, and then he immediately wrote a ensemble book, saying, "The flood in Yanzhou was still infringed." He frowned slightly and looked around at the officials below, "This flood has been flooding for years. I have never heard of it in previous years, but I have heard it a little. Do you guys, can you control the water?"
A civil servant walked out immediately and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I am humble in my opinion. The land of Yanzhou is located in the water and lake area, and the soil is loose, which is a good choice for farming. However, it is a prosperous rainy place on the mountain and water. When Jiang Zimo was the governor of the state, the dams built used this soil, but the dams were often damaged and collapsed. Even if they were replenished again and again, it would only increase money and damage. This is a mistake. I believe that the soil should be transported from the arid land in the northwest to Yanzhou to repair a solid dam to resist the flood. Later, Your Majesty can pardon the people of Yanzhou for three years to exempt them from taxes to regulate health and wellness. Three years later, the flood will not be invaded by Yanzhou, and the disaster will be resolved."
After the civil servant finished speaking, all the officials at the Shangshutai nodded and said yes, but another civil servant walked out. He bowed first and then said, "Your Majesty, repairing the dam is indeed the first step, but the quick report that has been accelerated this time is not only Yanzhou. After the neighboring Menzhou entered the summer, heavy rains continued and countless damaged rice fields were flooded. In addition, after the refugees in Yanzhou fled, the food and grass were in a hurry. Many large households took the opportunity to raise the market price, and the people changed their children to eat. This was also a serious disaster."
Emperor Jing Cheng glanced at the list, then sighed and asked, "Where is Panzhou? How about Panzhou?"
Another young civil servant walked out below, saying, "Panzhou is still going well this year, and the weather is good. However, in previous years, Yanzhou and Menzhou had no grains due to heavy floods, and Panzhou and Tongzhou needed to provide food and grass. Now it is the summer solstice and the autumn harvest is not coming. If you want to collect food and grass, I will think that there is still more to provide food and grass for the two states."
Emperor Jingcheng's brows stretched, but before he could speak, Jiao Hongxue, the leader of the military officer, suddenly spoke. He said calmly: "There is no other way to help the disaster. But." He turned to the officials of the Shangshutai. "Last month, military pay was allocated between the western border and the northern border, and the food and grass should be prepared early. The western border is full of mountains and forests, and the weather is harmonious. When the soldiers have no war, they can farm and farm tightly. But the northern border is now at the time of confrontation. The Cana people from the foreign vassals came to attack the enemy with millions of people. The soldiers were fighting against the enemy outside the pass, and the supplies and food were even more unbreakable. In addition, there was no field to cultivate the desert. If the food from Panzhou and Tongzhou helped Yanzhou and Menzhou, what should the soldiers in Manhong Pass do?"
While the officials at the Shangshutai looked around and whispered, one of them looked at Jiao Hongxue first and said helplessly: "The Grand Marshal Jiao is right. But everyone talks, it's true that Jiuzhou is the case. Panzhou and Tongzhou's granaries only have so much food, so they can't feed them so much."
"I know you are in a dilemma. This Taiwei is in charge of military positions and does not focus on people's livelihood, which is offensive." Jiao Hongxue looked at Emperor Jingcheng with his eyes fixed, and he bowed his fists, "Your Majesty must be the master of this matter."
Emperor Jingcheng was also in trouble. His eyebrows were gloomy. He looked around the eyes of everyone below while pondering, and refused to answer for a long time.
At this time, Liu Xiuyong, the King of Jin who was a civil servant, suddenly walked out slowly. After bowing, he said calmly: "Father, you can find a solution from the big family in the difficult situation."
Emperor Jingcheng looked at him calmly and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Over the years, the fields of private fields have changed hands, and the market price is high. Most people cannot afford the fields, but they all rent them." Liu Xiuyong said, "and the fields rented are all from the hands of large households. The north is bitter and cold, and the rice fields are harvested only once a year. The fields in the east can be harvested for two seasons. The most suitable climate in the southwest can be harvested for three seasons. In the early years, the fields in Tongzhou and Panzhou were converted into rice fields. In three seasons a year, so much food is not enough to supply disaster victims and soldiers in the northwest. Doesn't this sound strange?"
The civil servants nodded together, and one of them immediately blurted out: "It was all merchants who interfered with farming and storing grain, and raising market prices. This led to such a ridiculous situation now."z.br
"What the Lord said is very reasonable." Liu Xiuyong nodded calmly, and he turned to Emperor Jingcheng, "This move by a large household has hurt the country's foundation. If the people have no food, there will be no law. The most important thing is that the ministers want to buy grain from the large household."
"Buy grain?" The civil servant raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Your Highness King of Jin, do you know the current market price of grain and grass in Tongzhou and Panzhou? If you don't know, I can tell your highness.
"
"I know, but you don't need to pay attention to the price." Liu Xiuyong turned to him, "The big family is stocking up on the stock price and waiting for the price, which is not affordable for ordinary people. Besides, if you want to buy military rations and disaster relief food that can support the summer, even the national treasury cannot pay so much money."
Emperor Jingcheng still kept silent and asked, just staring at Liu Xiuyong.
But the civil servants couldn't stand it anymore. Some people said, "Pang Boyi was in charge of the government and allowed the local government to act without shame, which made the treasury empty. His Highness said he wanted to buy grain, but he dared to ask, what should he buy?"
Liu Xiuyong said lightly: "I can't afford it, I can only buy it for credit."
The civil servants immediately spoke in a low voice, and someone asked, "Your Highness, the act of credit is too embarrassing. Once this statement is opened, it may have encouraged speculators and counter-attacks to act recklessly and turn the act of storing grain into the norm of people's livelihood. Furthermore, how should this account be settled in the coming day? Also, if the disaster is serious every year, we can't always ask big farmers to buy grain for help every time, right?"
"Credit is just an urgent task. If you make a contract, you can calculate the interest according to the principal." Liu Xiuyong turned to Emperor Jingcheng confidently, "Father, the national treasury is empty, and it is difficult to collect grain without silver. But as long as the father makes an edict, Gu Yaozhi, the governor of Yanzhou, will change tea fields into farmland. Then, the port will be built, waiting for the dam to be repaired and traded, and Yanzhou will be rich and change greatly. Similarly, the move to change tea to rice can also make Yanzhou self-sufficient and do not need to rely on various parts of the southwest to support and survive."
All the officials at the Shangshutai nodded when they heard this, and then looked at Emperor Jingcheng.
Emperor Jingcheng looked at Liu Xiuyong through the pearl curtain. After a while, he nodded as if satisfied and said, "It's accurate, this move is OK. In addition, you will propose this method, so you will take charge of the overall situation."
Liu Xiuyong bowed respectfully and said, "Now."
