After hearing Wei Jiansu's suggestion, the courtiers began to mutter in their hearts that Zhao Ziliang had just tricked Wei E, and now Wei E's father, Wei Jiansu, started to stab Zhao Ziliang in the back.
Three million people, this is not 30,000.
Three million people poured into Beiting almost at the same time.
How much pressure this will bring to Beiting.
Social security issues, food issues, housing issues, land issues and a series of other issues.
If they are not handled properly, big troubles will occur.
Xuanzong had no other choice now.
He looked at Zhao Ziliang and asked, "Zhao Qing, what do you think?"
Zhao Ziliang turned to look at Wei Jiansu, turned back to Xuanzong and clasped his fists with a wry smile and said: "Your Majesty, in the past few years, the migration of refugees from all over the Central Plains to Beiting was done in batches, with no more than 20,000 to 30,000 people at most each time.
Even so, , every time our local officials in Beiting are extremely busy, and several times we almost caused a disaster due to improper handling, but now To relocate three million people at once would probably overwhelm Beiting.
However, without mentioning how much manpower, material resources and land would be needed to relocate them, it is just that Beiting would not be able to afford food after they are relocated. , at least until next summer's harvest, these three million people need to be fed by the Beiting government, and the food gap is really too big."
Xuanzong asked: "Is there no way to solve the food problem?"
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "If the imperial court can allocate a batch of money to Beiting to purchase grain from Tianzhu, Tocharo, Dashi, Fulan and other countries, and also order the Anxi Protectorate to support us with 300,000 shi of grain , the problem is not too big, otherwise Beiting will never be able to feed the sudden increase of three million people.
At the same time, the towns along Longyou and Hexi must prepare temporary living sites for relocation of refugees and refugees."
Xuanzong looked at Yang Yan, the left minister of the Ministry of Finance, and asked: "Yang Qing, how much money can the Ministry of Finance spend now?"
Yang Yan is now less than thirty and already ranks as the Left Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
This person is still quite capable in finance, but now that taxes have not been collected, he cannot make money even with all his abilities.
When Yang Yan saw the emperor asking, he had no choice but to stand up and salute: "Your Majesty, if the autumn tax has not been collected yet, the rats will starve to death in the treasury, and it will be impossible to get even a penny out.
The officials of various yamen in the imperial court Even the salary has not been paid, and many officials are already complaining."
Xuanzong couldn't help having a headache after hearing this, so he had to give Zhao Ziliang credit: "Zhao Qing, let's do this.
The imperial court will help move these refugees and refugees to Beiting first, and you will also write orders to the officials left behind in Beiting to let them We have completed the resettlement work.
After the autumn tax comes up, I will immediately allocate two million yuan to the Beiting Protectorate, so that they can use it to purchase grain from Dashi, Fulu, Tocharo and Tianzhu.
What do you think?”
Zhao Ziliang clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty has spoken so eloquently, naturally I am not worried that Your Majesty will break his promise.
I am worried that the people below will deliberately delay the payment.
As the saying goes, the king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with.
What other county magistrate is worse than the present one?"
"Just wait a minute, Wei Chen has a bad temper.
If someone gives Wei Chen eye drops, it will be bad if Wei Chen can't help but hit someone."
After hearing Zhao Ziliang's words, all the ministers couldn't help but feel a chill.
Many old ministers recalled the time when Zhao Ziliang beat Li Linfu in public in the court.
At that time, Li Linfu could not get off the ground for half a month.
This martial artist didn't hit people lightly. , if he were beaten, wouldn’t it be a great injustice?
Yang Yan only felt that the person Zhao Ziliang was talking about was referring to him.
His face darkened when he heard this, and he cupped his hands to Zhao Ziliang and said: "Marshal Zhao said this to show his distrust of this official.
Since His Majesty has already issued an order, I will I don't dare to neglect it.
After the autumn tax comes up, the official will allocate the two million yuan to Beiting as soon as possible.
Now Marshal Zhao can rest assured."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said to Xuanzong: "Your Majesty, since Mr.
Yang has given the guarantee in court, Wei Chen has nothing to say.
Let the matter be settled like this.
After the dynasty is dismissed, Wei Chen will write the document immediately and send eight hundred Riga rushed to the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate and asked the left-behind officials to immediately make preparations for the resettlement of the refugees and refugees, so that the refugees and refugees in this area can move into new houses immediately after arriving in Beiting."
When Xuanzong saw that Zhao Ziliang agreed, he immediately made a decision and said: "In that case, the matter has been settled.
I have issued an order to the government towns in Longyou and Hexi to make arrangements for it.
No one should be negligent or perfunctory, otherwise they will be severely punished."

"Follow the decree" Xuanzong said again: "Then how to deal with the suppression of food prices?
Is there any good strategy for you?"
Wei Jiansu stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this grain is in the hands of the grain merchants.
Of course they will not mind that the money is too much.
It is very difficult to get the grain merchants to lower the price unless there is a large amount of cheap grain now on the market. , but where are we going to get food now?
Doesn’t Marshal Zhao still have 800,000 shi of grain?
Why not squeeze out another 500,000 shi of grain and rush it into the market to keep the price of food down?"
Zhao Ziliang looked at Wei Jiansu with a cold light in his eyes, sneered in his heart, and walked out and said: "Master Wei, I will settle the score for you.
Now our Beiting Army has 40,000 troops, and Hexi and Longyou each have Ten thousand, Anxi There are 5,000 troops, and more than 20,000 broken troops who have been gathered together.
The total number is close to 90,000.
All of these rely on the commander's counterinsurgency headquarters to provide food and grass.
In addition, we have also learned from several battles.
More than 100,000 troops were captured, Now these people are being reorganized and trained by our army.
After the training is completed, they can be formally incorporated into the counter-insurgency army combat order.
Therefore, the total number of the army is 200,000.
Calculated based on the fact that each soldier eats at least one kilogram of food per day.
Two hundred thousand kilograms of grain are needed a day.
War horses cannot eat grass all the time.
During the battle, they must be fed more than five kilograms of grain every day to keep them fat and strong enough to fight.
Now our army has one hundred thousand war horses, so the battle Horses consume 500,000 kilograms of grain every day, and the entire army consumes 700,000 kilograms of grain every day.
When a large army fights, it must reserve more than five months of grain and grass to make the soldiers feel at ease.
After all, our army must reserve Nearly 700,000 shi of grain and grass are now in our military camp.
There are 2.3 million shi of grain, of which two million shi were seized by our army from the rebels.
The two million shi of grain were captured by the rebels in Chang'an and Weinan. , Feng Ling and Huayin and other places raised funds It is impossible to seize all the food in the future.
If I take out 500,000 shi of food now, once the war falls into a state of anxiety and the army faces a food shortage, the soldiers will have no fighting spirit and will be unable to suppress the rebellion.
If a great cause is ruined, or a mutiny breaks out due to lack of food, who will bear this responsibility?
If you, Wei Jiansu, dare to guarantee here that this will not happen, the commander-in-chief will order the allocation of food today.
Do you dare?
" Zhao Ziliang's words are actually partly nonsense.
There are only 10,000 heavy cavalry horses in the army that are big food horses.
Each one needs to be fed five kilograms of food every day, while most of the other horses are Mobei dwarf horses.
Horses do not need to eat food at all.
They can eat wild grass on the spot to maintain their endurance.
The mare can also provide mare's milk for the soldiers to ensure nutrition.
Wei Jiansu's face was gloomy and he finally sneered and said: "Why is Marshal Zhao so angry?
I just said casually, anyway, the food is in Marshal Zhao's hands.
If you don't want to, who can force you to do it?"
" "Hmph."
Zhao Ziliang glared at Wei Jiansu, then turned to Xuanzong and clasped his fists: "Your Majesty, the reason why the price of food on the market is artificially high is entirely because of the deliberate efforts of the grain merchants to raise it up.
The conscience of these unscrupulous profiteers has been shaken.
The dog was eaten, and the situation has deteriorated to this point. , these people have greatly enriched the country.
For such unscrupulous businessmen, we must not let their greed and stupidity harm the people of Guanzhong.
What do the court and local government offices do?
At this critical moment, the government must respond quickly, proceed line Government intervention, using severe administrative measures to sanction these profiteers who deliberately drive up prices and enrich the country.
They may be sentenced to three to five years in prison, or to confiscation of homes and genocide, with all property confiscated, in order to kill chickens and scare monkeys. serve as a warning to others , and those merchants who donated money and materials to the soldiers at the front during this period should be strongly commended.

Since ancient times, doing business has been regarded as a low-level industry, but in fact, merchants played a very important role for the court.
Among merchants, That’s why it’s called cheap karma.
It's because people think they are greedy and deceitful.
In fact, this is wrong.
Greedy and deceitful are the true nature of businessmen, and this cannot be changed.
Otherwise, he is not a qualified businessman.
However, the past dynasties have not paid attention to and required supervision of businessmen.
If they want to To allow businessmen to play a greater role, we must pay attention to them, but at the same time, laws must be introduced to supervise businessmen to prevent businessmen from doing things that endanger the country and the country due to greed.
Businessmen cannot be too treacherous, but cannot harm The court, the government and the country, this is the bottom line.
Any strategic materials, mines and industries related to the court's plans and people's livelihood must be run by the government and cannot be operated privately by businessmen.
Once someone touches this bottom line, the court and local officials will We must resolutely crack down on it.
For example, this time, grain merchants are driving up grain prices wantonly, and other merchants are driving up prices.
The court and the government must promptly and severely punish those who deserve to be arrested, and kill a group of people who deserve to be killed.
Grain prices and Prices have naturally stabilized.”
Wei Jiansu immediately objected: "Marshal Zhao, if the court does this, isn't it fighting for the interests of the people?"
Several ministers also echoed: "Yes, how can the imperial court do such a thing?
It would not look good on the imperial court if we say it."
Zhao Ziliang sneered: "Their behavior of competing with the people has threatened the rule of the imperial court and the safety of the Tang Dynasty.
Shouldn't such people be killed?
Hey, Mr.
Wei, you speak for those black-hearted businessmen like this." , are there any of those black-hearted businessmen who are attached to your protection?
I'm afraid you adults are also their protective umbrella.
Rather than saying that the court is competing for profits with the people, it's better to say that the court is competing for profits with you.
Of course you are not happy.
No wonder you are so strongly opposed.
I finally understand.
This court There are very few people in the hall who truly care about Your Majesty and the country of the Tang Dynasty."
"You are slandering, you are slandering."
Wei Jiansu and others shouted, and turned to Xuanzong and cried: "Your Majesty, Zhao Ziliang is slandering me.
I am loyal to your majesty, and I hope your majesty will ask for help for me." a justice”
Xuanzong's face was livid, he slapped the emperor's case and said angrily: "That's enough, do you guys really think that I am an old fool?
Usually you collect some money and let your family do some business to make some money, but I just turn a blind eye.
Just close one eye and forget it, but the Tang Dynasty has reached this place now Step, my empire is on the verge of collapse.
You guys are still trying to poach me.
Do you really think I can’t do it without you?
Li Gong, let the Jingzhao Mansion handle the punishment of unscrupulous businessmen.
We must do it quickly and seriously.
Dispose of it, if you want to bend the law for personal gain, I will replace you immediately."
Li Gong didn't dare to neglect, he immediately stood up and saluted and agreed: "My son, I obey the order":
