Article 281 Disaster Relief
Holding this fabric, Cheng Yu felt thoughtful and felt uncomfortable.
I remember that in order to support Cao Cao to raise an army, he defeated all his huge property. He fought east and west, and south and north, and was still very smooth. At one time, Lu Bu was forced into a dead end, leaving only thousands of soldiers and horses trapped in Xuzhou, and was about to take Xuzhou down.
How could Lu Bu be like a man who turned over and sang serfs? In just two years, more than 100,000 troops and horses were worthless.
Cheng Yu dared not agree with Guo Fengxiao's argument just now.
Just developing troops, what should we use to support our troops? How can soldiers fight if they are not full or warm? Eat sand or eat soil. Moreover, there are many wealthy gentry families within the Cao army, and these people are fence-bearing. Once everyone finds that Cao Cao is on a downward path and his advantage is gone, these people will fall down.
Relief of disaster victims not only requires food, but also clothes. If you want the people not to leave, you have to bookmark it. As long as you can get through here, no one will leave. After all, everyone has a strong rural concept. It is not that they are desperate and no one will leave their hometown.
Cheng Yu held the Prime Minister's order and finally collected 200,000 kilograms of grain. The large households gave them all old and insect-producing food. However, for disaster relief, this grain is very good. If it is good food, it may be sent to whom. Only old and insect-producing food can be truly sent to the hands of those in need.
Cheng Yu led the convoy to Qiaotou Village, Liang County, the worst-hit disaster. Because he privately ran away from the recruitment team from Xuzhou, County Magistrate Li had already run away. Now he is Cheng Yu's brother, County Magistrate Cheng.
The village entrance set up a desk and wrote a copy, took out the household registration book, and distributed relief grains according to households.
Many people came, all of whom were ragged, holding dustpans, scattered baskets, and grain bags, and lined up to collect grain and cloth.
A yamen runner pulled out someone and shouted, "Take it off, you can't wear this one."
Cheng Yu frowned and came over and asked, "What's the situation?"
The yamen runner pointed at a woman's cotton jacket: "Military advisor, please see, the cotton jacket is written on it with the pattern of Wen Hou of the Han Dynasty and Lu Bu riding a horse and holding a painting halberd."
This matter is big or small. If it is small, nothing will happen, and if it is big, it is not impossible to behead the head.
"Sir, I picked up this dress, and everyone in the village has picked it up."
"How did you pick it up?"
"I picked it up in the yard when I woke up early. The woman didn't know any of the words she wrote on it."
Cheng Yu arranged: "If you have this pattern on your clothes, go home immediately, and then come back with the patch."
"yes."
There are really many. At least dozens of people went home in a hurry, but soon they all came back, and a big patch was nailed to the brand new cotton jacket.
Cheng Yu said to the yamen runners: "Lu Bu, the Han Marquis Wen, was personally enthroned by the emperor, and the emperor agreed that this kind of thing would be covered by the people in the future, and there is no need to exaggerate it."
"clear."
Although both sides did not fight, they kept making small moves behind their backs. Cao Cao sent people to steal corn and sweet potato seeds.
Lu Bu sent people to win over the people's hearts. They were all princes of the Han Dynasty. The people had constant exchanges and the trade routes could not be cut off, so this kind of thing should not be serious.
Cheng Yu told the matter to County Magistrate Cheng, and his statement was great, so he arranged for the villagers to cover Wen Hou's standard. He had to wear clothes. What should I do if I didn't wear them? Will I freeze to death?
"Chenliu is the foundation of the lord's founding. The people are deeply in love with Lu Bu, and it cannot be destroyed by a single move. As an official here, you must be light taxes and taxes, treat the people well, and do not greedy for money and plunder the people."
"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely give you a face and will not mess around."
"I'm wrong, don't think about me in my heart. I have to think about the people. Only by thinking about the people in my heart can I not make mistakes."
"Okay."
In addition to food and clothing, agricultural tools are also a big problem. Many families have no decent farm tools. In this case, even if they are in the beginning of next spring, what will they do to resume production?
Each family must have a hoe and a shovel. You can not give it to them on credit and return it next fall.
I found several local blacksmith shops, and a shovel cost 80 cents, a better hoe cost 100 cents, and a set of 180 cents.
I had no choice but to contact the merchant again and quoted a set of 120 yuan.
Cheng Yu ordered two thousand sets, and the caravan came in three days.
"Prefer to one hundred and eighty-months and one hundred and twenty-months." Cheng Yu waved his hand and asked someone to compare the two tools with each other.
It doesn't matter, it's over.
One hundred and eighty-one sets have poor quality, light weight, and relatively brittle iron. They will jump into the hole when they get a little hard stone.
Let’s look at the one hundred and two sets, which are finely crafted and durable, and are all made of good iron. They are farmed and durable.
Cheng Yu has limited money, so he can only buy one hundred and two hundred sets.
The county magistrate Cheng was arranged to distribute it to the victims and return the value of agricultural tools with grain after harvest next fall.
When the county magistrate Cheng saw that there was no one around, he whispered: "Brother, the one that was bought by a merchant from Xuzhou was produced from Liming Da Iron Mine."
Cheng Yu glared: "You know, arrange people to check one by one, there is no problem, just pay for it. The one we bought is Chenliu local, and it has nothing to do with Xuzhou."
"Yes, yes, I get it."
Everyone knows the wine Cao Cao drank in Xudu, but don’t say it out loud.
After all, Cao Cao and Lu Bu are mortal enemies. Isn’t it uncomfortable to say that?
Many big businessmen in Chenliu have done a good job, but they don’t buy goods from Xuzhou. There are too many wines in Xuzhou, cloths in Xuzhou, ironware in Xuzhou, pickles in Xuzhou, seafood salted fish in Xuzhou, canned food in Xuzhou, and soap in Xuzhou.
When ordering, merchants asked Xuzhou not to put relevant labels, and they shipped them back and sold them on their own.
Copper coins flow to Xuzhou like flowing water, and Xuzhou occupies an absolute dominant position in foreign trade.
Just when Cheng Yu was helping the disaster, Lu Bu and Lu Su also withdrew their troops from Xiaopei. Because various information showed that Cao Cao had no plans to send troops, the military camp at the junction was handed over to Xiaopei Song Xian for management.
What did Lu Bu do? He returned to Xuzhou.
Lu Su has put forward several very important opinions in the past few days, and Lu Bu wants to go back to make arrangements.
Large animals such as cattle and horses are slow to reproduce and promote slowly, so you can do not rush.
However, pigs, sheep and poultry breed relatively quickly, and the government should guide the people to promote it as soon as possible.
Pigs, sheep, poultry, use the feces of this poultry and livestock to mix leaves and crop straw for compost.
Originally, the land had to fallow, and it would take a rest for a year to plant it. Now, there is basically no saying that it would fallow in the land in Xuzhou. The land capacity of Kaka is severely depleted by planting for two seasons a year. If you want to seek high yields, you can only make a fuss about fertilizers.
