Chapter 713

The drought continued and the disaster intensified.

What's more, there is also a drought in the capital area.

Since the beginning of spring, it has rained three times.

The water level of the river bed decreased significantly.

In serious places, even the well water level will drop.

Sweet potato is widely planted in various places this year.

Sweet potato is drought tolerant.

That means that the price of rice and noodles will continue to rise to a staggering point.

The imperial court limited the price. It can be controlled for a while, but not for one year, two years, three years.

In the past, when the drought began to take shape, people who were willing to eat half of the refined rice flour and half of the brown rice flour.

When the news came from the south that the disaster had intensified and the anti thieves were rampant, they would not even eat the refined rice and flour, but instead eat the brown rice and coarse flour.

The refined rice and flour are all saved up as reserve grain.

There are a lot of people doing this.

In Xinmin County, the busiest place is no longer the Wenqing bookstore, nor the meat shop, but the grain and oil shop.

Every day, people are crowded in front of every grain and oil shop.

No matter whether there is grain in the family, they will go to the grain and oil shop to buy grain. The refined rice flour is out of stock, and only brown rice and rough flour are left. If you want to buy it, line up and don't squeeze it. If anyone breaks the order, we will not serve them. "

A frame of brown rice flour, placed in the grain shop entrance.

The limit is five Jin per person.

Everyone has a grain and oil book in their hands.

Buy today's five Jin, grain and oil book will be covered with a grain shop red seal.

With this seal, it means that today's share has been purchased. You can't buy a grain of grain in any grain and oil shop in the capital city with a book.

This is the purchase restriction in Beijing.

With reference to the methods adopted by Sihai commercial bank for the management of refugees, the Ministry of housing issued a small copy to each family, registering the population of each family and the amount of rations required.

People call the small version of food.

Since the birth of grain, it has become the most precious thing in the family of small people, even more important than money.

Because there is money now, if there is no grain, no grain can be bought in any grain and oil shop in the capital.

As for those foreigners who live in the capital, such as the students who are studying in the capital, they are registered by the government, and each of them has received a grain book.

It's just that the color of grain is different from that of local household registration.

Who doesn't have to worry about food these days?

The students of Shanhe academy don't have to worry about food.

When everyone in Beijing is worried about food, the students of Shanhe academy can eat with their stomachs open.

Three meals a day. Steamed buns with fried dough sticks and soybean milk for breakfast.

Chinese food and dinner, each ration of two dishes a soup, rice tube full.

Rich and powerful families, officials and dignitaries, naturally do not have to worry about food.

However, the imperial court was worried that they were hoarding food and had been guarding against it.

Want to buy food, OK!

I'll sell it to you.

Don't go to the grain and oil store to grab food with the villagers.

The major restaurants and restaurants have been seriously impacted and their business has plummeted.

The bosses were all in a sad mood.

No business, but also pay rent, can not worry?

Such a high-pressure and strict policy makes everyone in Beijing worry about food.

The students who rent in Xinmin county are more eager to be admitted to Shanhe academy so that they can eat with their stomachs open every day.

I can't eat enough, but I have to study with my head hanging on the beam, and I have to stab my hair.

Shanhe academy, why are you so difficult to test!

The learning atmosphere in Xinmin county is unprecedented.

With the shortage of food, several women's schools, Xinmin County primary schools, even ushered in a small peak of registration.

Because the school handles brunch.

If you can be admitted to the women's intermediate school, not only three meals a day, but also free accommodation. After learning the technology, you can go to a big family to work and earn money.

Some people have long been interested in women's schools in Xinmin county. However, during the famine years, all kinds of plans could only be postponed.

Grain, grain, where on earth to get food.

From the south to the north, there is either drought or flood.

This year's summer grain can hardly be expected, because the production of summer grain from south to North has been seriously reduced.

The imperial court suddenly found that there was so little food in Dazhou.

South and North suffered at the same time. Jiangnan took the fields to plant mulberry leaves. The food crisis broke out suddenly and caught everyone by surprise.

What to do?

The victims are waiting for help.

Frontier officers and men are also waiting for food.

People everywhere are also looking forward to food.

People all over the world are looking forward to food.

Where does food come from?

If the problem of food is not solved, it will be ignited again after the anti thieves are put out.

At that time, officials killed and rebelled one after another. After pressing the gourd, the river and mountain of Dazhou were in danger."There is grain in the south of the Yangtze River!"

Someone stood out, like a heavy hammer, pounding heavily on everyone's heart.

Emperor Wende's eyes were hot, "is there really grain in the south of the Yangtze River?"

"There is food! South of the Yangtze River, fertile fields thousands of miles, big landlords, datianzhuang countless. There are countless grains there. "

The courtiers are angry!

Dare to love is the surplus food of the landlords!

This is a copy of their own bottom ah!

Which family is not a big landlord in chaotang? Which family is not full of grain?

Can anyone offer food voluntarily?

"Ridiculous!"

"Presumptuous!"

"What's the difference between this and anti thief?"

"Is it a robbery?"

The courtiers scolded one after another, hoping to tear the man who broke the window paper.

Where did it come from? Will you be an official?

If you believe it or not, you will be dismissed from office.

"Why should you panic, gentlemen? The lower official said that there was grain in the south of the Yangtze River, but he did not say about the bandits. The court can buy grain from the big landlords and send it to the disaster area. Jiangnan is quite close to the disaster area, which saves the loss on the road! Maybe we can spare some grain and send it to the capital. "

That's a good idea.

The courtiers stroked their beards and nodded in secret.

It's OK for the court to pay for grain! It's just a rip off from the Hubu of the imperial court.

The money of the imperial court is not made for nothing.

"Hum!"

Lord Zhao, the Minister of the Ministry of household, listed out, "Your Majesty, it's feasible to go south to buy grain. I'm afraid that someone will raise the price, eat ugly, and take advantage of the court. Is it true that the money of the imperial court was brought down by a strong wind? Such shameless people are disgusting. "

With that, his eyes swept over the officials in the south of the Yangtze River.

The officials of the Jiangnan faction quit and rolled up their sleeves.

Zhao Laogou, who are you scolding?

Are the officials of the Hedong faction good?

Relying on the mineral resources, we have done a lot of things. The brass for casting private money mainly comes from Hedong.

What's more, we haven't done less to open silver mines, gold mines and iron mines.

What's the matter?

Are you allowed to make money in Hedong and not allowed to make money in Jiangnan?

Do the big landlords in the south of the Yangtze River eat your food or drink your water?

Too much!

The two sides argued endlessly.

Officials from Hexi, Huaibei, southwest, northwest and Lingnan all chose to stand by and join in the war.

Shoes, socks, clothes and hats were all over the floor.

On the palace of Jinluan, it stinks.

In the early days of the imperial court, it became a vegetable market in an instant.

Not even the market lady.

"Silence! Silence

"Ridiculous!"

Emperor Wende directly smashed the teacup, snatched the whip in the hand of the Han General and waved it heavily.

Bang!

When the whip rings, the hall is quiet.

Pa Pa Pa Pa Pa

There were three whips again, and the hearts of the courtiers trembled.

My Lord, your majesty is angry!

"Keep fighting! Why not make a noise? When I'm a clay statue Bodhisattva, is it a decoration to sit here

Emperor Wende picked up the inkstone and hit it heavily on the bright ground.

With a loud noise, many middle and lower level officials were scared to their knees.

As for those chaotang lords, they were all motionless.

Whether it was a quarrel or an angry Vander, they could not be shaken.

"Your Majesty, I think it is the most important person who goes south to buy grain. This person should not only be able to buy grain from the big landlords, but also have the authority to kill those who have been storing grain and making money for the victims. Let them know what Imperial Majesty is. "

It's the Minister of Hubu, Mr. Zhao.

All the court lords nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Zhao is right. It's so hard for chaotang. Some people only care about farming and getting rich, but they don't have any pity. It's damned! "

"He also wants to buy grain, but also to show the authority of the imperial court. This person who goes south to buy grain should not only have a high enough status, but also make a decisive decision when necessary, and make an example to others! Dare to think and dare to do! It's hard for such a person

Emperor Wende asked in a sharp voice: "if you go south to buy grain, who can share my worries for me?"

"I'm willing to share your worries for your majesty. But I'm afraid that I can't suppress the local aristocrats in Jiangnan. I can't hold down the price. On the contrary, I will let the rich people in Jiangnan take advantage of this opportunity and laugh at the incompetence of the imperial court! I can't share your Majesty's worries, death penalty

Some people are very clever and take the lead to say that they are incompetent.

Nima!

When you go south to buy grain, you have to crack down on the price of grain. It's a terrible job!

If you don't talk about offending people, maybe you will fall on your head.

Officials of Jiangnan origin are not good at stubbornness.This group of people form cliques and suppress dissidents, but they are skillful and sophisticated.

Don't pick the beam with your little arms and legs.

He took the initiative to admit his incompetence. Although his face was damaged, his position and future were preserved.

Then a few more officials came forward, claiming that they were incompetent and could not share his Majesty's worries.

"Enough!"

Emperor Wende was infuriated, "the imperial court wasted money and food, and raised your group of wastes. When fighting for power and profit, everyone was very positive. Now it's my turn to share my worries. Everyone has become a turtle. Since you are incompetent, get out and don't be a dog in the manger. Come on, take off their uniforms, take off their hats and throw them out! "

All the ministers were shocked and begged.

Emperor Wende was determined to kill the courtiers by thunderbolt. "Who dares to ask for mercy, just like some of them, took off his official hat and took off his official uniform and went out. The imperial court doesn't raise the waste of the dead food! "

As soon as the voice dropped, no one came forward to plead.

Affection is important, official hat is more important.

General Han rushed in, took off some smart officials and dragged them out.

Several officials are stupid!

How can your majesty not play according to the rules!

"Your Majesty, I am wronged."

You've wronged a ghost!

Every one of the people in the court is counted as one. All of them have been pulled out to chop, and no one will be wronged.

Emperor Wende was so angry that he asked in a sharp voice, "who can share my worries for me when I go south to buy grain?"

"Your Majesty, those who go down to the south to buy grain can not be implicated in the rich families in the south of the Yangtze River. They should also be familiar with the intricate relationship between the basin and the root of the south of the Yangtze River. They should also have a high enough status and powerful means. It's hard to find such a person

Zhongshu asked Mr. Li to point out the difficulty.

All the ministers agreed!

Yes, such people are hard to find!

They should not be involved in the south of the Yangtze River. They should also be familiar with the south of the Yangtze River. They should also have a high enough status and cruel means. Where can they find such people.

"Such a person, the old minister thought of one."

With that, he looked at the emperor Wende.

The house of Shao Fu is very good at making chicken thieves. He didn't say his name, but he already pointed out everything.

Emperor Wende suddenly thought of a place with the young master's family.

There was a man in the court who met all the conditions.

If he went south to buy grain, he would be able to buy grain from big landlords in the south of the Yangtze River at a more favorable price.

But Vander frowned.

Because Liu Zhao was the only one who met the requirements.

High enough status, strong enough means, enough understanding of the south of the Yangtze River, but there is no interest involved with the rich people in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Is there anyone else?" asked Vander

The young master's family made him shake his head slightly, "the old minister is stupid and can't think of a second person."

At this time, someone came out again and said, "Your Majesty, it's better to send the second prince to the south to buy grain. The second prince has also been to the south of the Yangtze River. He has a good understanding of Jiangnan and his status is valuable. When the second prince goes south, he will be able to buy grain in time. "

Emperor Wende frowned and could not help looking at Liu Ping, the second prince who had been silent.

Liu Ping, the second prince, bowed down and said, "my son is willing to go to the south of the Yangtze River to share the worries of his father and the court."

The family order of the Shaofu is on the sidelines.

Zhongshu asked Mr. Li to watch the change.

Mr. Zhao, the Minister of the Ministry of housing, was worried and asked, "Your Highness, how much money are you going to spend and how much food are you going to buy? How to solve the problem of transportation? How many people need to be taken south? Is there a goal? Where are you going to buy food? You can't go to the market to buy food from a grain shop. "

A great deal of grain is not in the grain shop, but in the storehouse of the landlords.

A series of questions confused people.
