Chapter 673

"I heard you went to chunxifang. I knew Li Qiang that you would ask me about it!" Sun Bingchen smiled, and the expression on his face was very indifferent. "Fang Beidou and others were not arrested, but were temporarily placed under house arrest in Luyuan!"

house arrest? Hearing sun Bingchen say this word in his mouth, Yan Liqiang's tight heart was a little relaxed, but he still didn't understand, "my Lord, Fang Beidou, they are either ordinary people or some craftsmen. They usually follow the rules. I don't know why they are under house arrest?"

"Then do you think the Han empire times is theirs or the imperial court's?"

"Well, what did your excellency say?"

"Although the Han empire times was created by you, in the end you have dedicated it to your majesty. This newspaper is also the newspaper of the imperial court. Since it is the newspaper of the imperial court, it should speak for the imperial court and act according to the will of the imperial court. The reason why Fang Beidou and others are under house arrest is that they control the newspaper, think they are right and don't listen to the orders of the imperial court, That's why I ordered them to be arrested, all dismissed and put under house arrest in Luyuan, and no longer participate in the daily work of the newspaper... "

"They... How dare they not listen to the imperial court?" Yan Liqiang looked incredible.

"The imperial court asked them to publish articles in the newspaper, but they didn't publish them. Isn't it because they didn't listen to orders? What is it?" Sun Bingchen stood up, went directly to a bookcase in his study, took out a pile of things from the bookcase, and then came to Yan Liqiang and put those things on the table in front of Yan Liqiang. "These are the articles published by the Great Han empire times after they were dismissed and placed under house arrest. They insisted on not issuing them before they were dismissed and placed under house arrest, So don't blame me... "

Yan Liqiang took the stack of Han empire times, only looked at the headline of the top newspaper, and was surprised, "Lingan river stone turtle, bewitching the public", and the title of the next newspaper was "everything is as usual in Liuzhou, there is no day dog eating the day", and the following one was "people reported that some criminals put stone turtles into the river overnight", "Regret the original, sell the emperor's mansion at a low price, and want to double the redemption price"

Most of the headlines of the Han empire times newspaper are like this. The news and reports in the newspaper almost completely overturned the previous news reports on the birth of the stone turtle. Yan Liqiang knew that these news and headlines were made in a rough way to deceive people. No wonder Fang Beidou would not publish such news, Because Fang Beidou knows the consequences of such news. He and he have worked hard for several years to give the people in Gyeonggi a chance to escape before the disaster. If these articles are published, will not his previous efforts be wasted? After reading these articles, many people who originally wanted to run, Maybe you'll stay lucky and die without a place to bury your life.

Of course, these articles can't deceive smart people, but the general public are most likely to be deceived by these articles and publicity. Not to mention this era, even in their last life, they have had the Internet, television and various media. It is extremely convenient and free to obtain information, and it is common for people to be deceived by the media, Because most ordinary people don't have the ability to distinguish the truth and obtain real information. They believe what the media say, even if they don't believe it at the beginning, but the media say more and believe it. In contrast, people in this era have narrower and lagging access to information. How do they know whether there is a dog eating day in Liuzhou and a severe drought in Zhuzhou?

"My Lord, although I'm in Ganzhou these days, I've also heard about the birth of Lingan river stone turtle. Moreover, the Tiangou food in Liuzhou and the drought in Zhuzhou have been printed. Why did the imperial court let the Han empire times publish such articles to fool the people?" Yan Liqiang looked at sun Bingchen with a shocked face.

"The lesser of the two evils, the court has to!" Sun Bingchen sighed.

"Ah, didn't I hear that the imperial court was ready to evacuate the people in Gyeonggi before? Every state and county allocated evacuation targets and quota. How can it be completely reversed now? At this time, the people in Gyeonggi should be allowed to flee quickly. But this time, I heard that the people in Gyeonggi need a guide issued by the government to leave. If there is a natural disaster, Didn't that make the people in Gyeonggi wait to die... "

"Yes, the imperial court had indeed prepared to evacuate the people and people in Gyeonggi before, but then had to stop..." sun Bingchen said with a complicated face.

"Why?"

"Then Li Qiang, do you know how many people there are in the whole capital?"

"There should be a lot!"

"According to the statistics of the Ministry of household, the whole capital city, including the imperial capital and the surrounding areas of Siji, including five big cities, thousands of villages and market towns, has a total of more than 13 million people. Originally, according to the plan of the imperial court, it really wanted to gradually evacuate these people, but in fact, it was impossible..."

"Why not?"

Sun Bingchen said in a tone of unspeakable fatigue and helplessness, "the more than 13 million people want to evacuate from the capital city. They must pass through Huizhou, Jinzhou, Yuanzhou, Tongzhou and Anzhou. Only through these states can the people in the capital city be transferred to other states and counties. Look at this..." as he said, sun Bingchen directly opened the drawer in front of him, He took out several memorials in the drawer and handed them to Yan Liqiang

Yan Liqiang took over the memorials and just opened the two in front at will. His face changed, because the news on the memorials was the news of the fire in the official granaries of Jinzhou and Huizhou and the heavy losses... "This... This is intentional?"“ If the court wants to resettling the people who leave the capital, it is necessary to mobilize food from these official storehouses and grain depots in order to meet the needs of the people along the way. The evacuation plan before the imperial court is also based on the decisions made by the official grain stocks reported by these counties, but in fact, these official granaries have been eroded away, and the situation is shocking. The data that they report to the court on weekdays are all false. If the court of the imperial court is to check, the official storehouses and storehouses of these counties can also be transferred from place to place for checking and creating a false impression. However, the people in Gyeonggi province have to evacuate and migrate. Instead, they need to take out so much food... "So they simply set fire to burn these official granaries. There is no proof of death..." sun Bingchen nodded with an extremely dignified face and a trace of unspeakable fear. "If the official granaries along the way have no food, they can't allocate and operate, Tens of millions of people evacuated from the capital will eventually become tens of millions of refugees and mobs. Tens of millions, Li Qiang, can you imagine what will happen when these tens of millions of refugees and mobs rage from the capital? The whole country of the Han Empire will be destroyed under this torrent... "Yan Liqiang's whole body is cold, His voice and fingers trembled. He finally understood why Fang Beidou and others were arrested, and finally understood why the imperial court made a way to lead the people in the capital city to leave, "so... So the imperial court can only let these people and ordinary people stay in the capital city to die and wait for the coming of the disaster..." under Yan Liqiang's eyes, sun Bingchen bowed his head, After a moment of silence, he slowly opened his mouth. "It can't be said that the people in the capital will die... It's still unknown whether all the words of the stone turtle will come true. Maybe... Maybe the natural disaster won't come..." what if there is a natural disaster? " Yan Liqiang looked at sun Bingchen with burning eyes and forced him to ask. Sun Bingchen looked into Yan Liqiang's eyes and said in an iron tone, "if the country of the Han Empire does not exist, more than ten million people will die. If Li Qiang is not in my position, you will understand that sometimes you have to make a choice. As long as your majesty is here and the imperial court is there, even if thousands of miles of the capital and the capital are turned into powder, even if tens of millions of people die, with the national strength of the Han Empire, Although it will hurt the muscles and bones, it can still recover in a few years... "The official granaries and grain depots around the states are so seriously embezzled. Why don't the imperial court investigate and seriously rectify them? Why don't they mention it in the residence newspaper? Aren't those corrupt officials who should be killed now?"“ This matter really needs to be investigated. If there are no officials in each state and county, the imperial court's dignified system is bound to disappear, and there will be unrest in the local area. At this moment, the imperial court has just cleared Lin Qingtian's party, and his majesty will be hunting soon next year. The imperial court also depends on them to stabilize the place and maintain the country. Therefore, this matter cannot be investigated. We can only wait for these years to clean up slowly! "“ So many corrupt officials can't be killed. Should tens of thousands of innocent people die? " With a slap, Yan Liqiang slapped on the table, turned over the tea on the table and shouted with excitement. Sun Bingchen looked at the tea spilled on the table with the same tone, "people are like leeks, cut can be reborn, officials are like beams, and damage will be dumped..." Yan Li shook his body, and the whole person was like being struck by lightning, and he could no longer say a word...
