Chapter 326: A Serious Illness


became the supervisor of the rectification guard of the four southern mansions of the Ming Dynasty to suppress bandits, but the imperial court did not allocate a grain of money and grain, and everything had to be raised by Lu Hanqiang himself.

Lu Hanqiang, the guard of the Ming Dynasty, knows that it has been rotten to the point that if you want to have combat effectiveness, you will completely change blood, eliminate the old mixed rice military households, and recruit young and strong people to make up for the posts, this is the only way, fortunately, the recruitment system was formed in the Ming Dynasty, and eating food as a soldier has also become the first choice for some unemployed.

But Lu Hanqiang didn't want to do that, and he didn't want to count on the household department of the imperial court, and of course he didn't want to pay out of his own pocket, it was a thankless and stupid thing that might cause trouble.

And all the income of the new area depends on the production capacity of coke.

Lu Hanqiang looked at Zhao Zi, and now Zhao Zi is fully responsible for the reception of grain merchants in the south.

Zhao Zi stood up and looked at Wang Gonggong, how much grain comes from the south now depends on Wang Gonggong's coke output.

Wang Gonggong stood up and looked back at Zhao Zi, because Zhao Zi was also responsible for the task of coal mining.

"Don't talk nonsense, say it quickly."

Lu Hanqiang saw that this was the rhythm of the circle kick, and urged impatiently at that time.

"According to the current amount of 200,000 stone of coke that can be delivered every month, we can get 1 million stone of grain from the southern grain merchants a month."

Zhao Zi replied cautiously.

Now coke has opened up sales channels in the south, with short supply to describe the urgent mood of the southern merchants, at the foot of the mountain in the inn of the new town, most of the people living are agents from all over the south, urging the delivery of coke.

"What about our capacity?"

"If the supply of carboniferous ore can be supplied, I can produce no less than 300,000 stones of coke per month.

But the carboniferous" "Zhao Xiancheng, I need to recruit another 5,000 displaced people and open another mine, maybe reach" The expansion of coke production capacity has been prepared, and it has become the top priority, everything is ready only to owe the east wind, expand the mine, and now the mine must be expanded.

Zhao Xiancheng shrank his neck when asked.

Of course, Zhao Xiancheng's expression fell on Lu Hanqiang's eyes at all, isn't this old man always praying for Lu Hanqiang to expand the number of recruits, and this expression doesn't seem right today.

"Why is it difficult to blame, shouldn't a large number of displaced people come south now, now there are not a million displaced people in the mountainous land, it is almost the same, I have only given relief and resettled a mere 100,000, if you add the people who serve these displaced people and drive the support, it is only 150,000, then there are still many people.

Zhao Xiancheng said bitterly: "Lord Lu, we don't have many displaced people now. ” Lu Hanqiang wondered, at this time, the most important thing in the world should be homeless, everyone is afraid that it is too late, why is it not the meaning of Zhao Xiancheng at all now.

Zhao Xiancheng didn't wait for Lu Hanqiang to ask, so he truthfully reported the situation.

There are people all over the world, not that there are none, but that they can't come.

First of all, the first to restrict the displaced people were the local officials, when the displaced people were everywhere, they were in a panic all day long, and they constantly drove the displaced people to the neighboring local county governments, which is called beggar-thy-neighbor, so as to reduce the pressure on their own localities, and the result was that the neighboring counties had to hand official documents to the political envoys every day to fight lawsuits, accusing each other of such despicable behavior.

However, after the start of the Pinglu cash-for-work scheme, the displaced people did not need to be driven out, and began to drag their families and mouths out, and when this result first began, everyone celebrated with each other, and finally stopped fighting lawsuits for the two counties to drive out the displaced people from each other, and as a result, the situation soon appeared that some counties and rural areas were about to flee.

Is there no county order without people, is it still a county order without people, so who to find to collect the autumn grain and summer taxSo, these local officials do not care about the life or death of the people, do not govern the place, fight disasters and save themselves, but do everything possible to prevent the displaced people from going out, so they do whatever it takes, including the prevailing law of joint payment, that is to say, a village originally had a mouth, and collect taxes and donations according to the same amount, if there are people fleeing the famine and fleeing, then those who have no peasant population will have to pay taxes and conscription, and these people who are still in the country will be burdened.

In this way, it was formed, in order not to increase the tax burden, one family watched the other, and as a result, everyone starved to death together.

Since you can't escape and survive, there is another way, unveil the pole and rise, and for a while, the poles and banners in the mountains and mountains fluttered everywhere, sweeping most of the two provinces like a flood and beasts.

"And the saddest thing is."

The upright Zhao Xiancheng now slammed Lu Hanqiang's table with blood-red eyes: "Just when the Governor of the Four Prefectures was appointed, those bastards in Shanxi jointly blocked the border of the Four Prefectures, preventing a hungry and cold homeless person from coming to my Pinglu to get a bite of food, and would rather let them starve to death at the border of the Four Mansions."

Yes, Zhao Xiancheng is right, this time Geng Ruqi and the political envoy of Shanxi Yanbu invited Lu Hanqiang to send a messenger from the four prefectures, which was just a small pit that had just been dug out, and then it was to start and strangle Lu Hanqiang's roots.

Lu Hanqiang needs a large amount of money and grain for disaster relief or rectification of the health center, and what kind of minerals and carbon are the root of this money and grain, and these require a lot of labor, no population, no labor, Lu Hanqiang will have nothing, as long as the population is choked, in this way, Lu Hanqiang can be completely destroyed.

For this reason, the governor Xingyuan and the political envoy of Shanxi issued a rare joint red-headed document, strictly ordering Shanxi to block the Yellow River along the Yellow River, which is how history is done, not allowing a single Shaanxi displaced person to enter the country, strictly ordering the blockade of the junction of the four southern provinces, and not allowing a displaced person to go south to Pinglu.

Lu Hanqiang was shocked, for a long time, he looked around blankly, "Why is this, is this why is it just to destroy me Lu Hanqiang, do you want hundreds of people to starve to death?"

Lu Hanqiang slowly transformed from muttering to roaring, one after another roaring.

Zihan was scared, he had already seen that Lu Hanqiang had a magic barrier, rushed up and hugged Lu Hanqiang's arm, crying and comforting: "It's okay, it's okay, everything will be fine." ” Ruyun gagged her mouth stiffly, and looked at Lu Hanqiang who was struggling in Zihan's arms with frightened eyes, she really didn't understand, she really didn't understand.

All the people rushed up and hugged Lu Hanqiang tightly, but they didn't know how to comfort him.

Lu Hanqiang broke free of Zihan's hand, opened his arms and raised his face to the sky, and let out a desperate howl in a hoarse voice: "My motherland that suffers deeply.

A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the whole body stubbornly straightened, but soon collapsed weakly to the ground. t1706231537:
