No food, a light body.
Zheng Ji sighed, now that the grain has been handed over, the Zheng family will no longer have to worry about the grain in the future.
Perhaps, he should have left Xiangyang with his family for a while, and he still has an industry in Shuzhong, so maybe he should go there to live there for a few years.
There is no disaster in Shu, and the climate is also good, and it is the most suitable for living.
It's better to stay at the feet of the Son of Heaven every day, and be scared.
Bidding farewell to the officials, Zheng Ji returned home.
At the door, he came to his wife and talked to her about it.
"Move to Shuzhong, this is about to be the New Year, and this is far away from Shuzhong."
Madame is reluctant to move, she has lived here for so long and has long been accustomed to everything here.
"Let's take a boat, it's not hard, it's a long time, first from the Han River to the Dajiang River, and then up the river, it's quite easy to take a boat all the way."
"Then what should we do with our son, the eldest has just been admitted to the National Prison, and the second has become Li Xiang's relative."
"Da Lang Erlang stayed, it just so happens that this family also needs someone to take care of the house.
The other sons and daughters followed us to Shuzhong, and I see that this catastrophe will not be able to pass for a while, and I heard that it will be more serious next year.
This Xiangyang is not easy to stay, it is better to go to Shuzhong as soon as possible, anyway, the grain business here can't go on, and the fields in this family are estimated to not be planted next year, what are you doing here, you are worried all day long, and you can't sleep well.
Hey, when I close my eyes at night recently, I always dream of Feng Xiao'an, I dream that he asks me for his life, we go to Yizhou, far away from here, no matter how he changes in the future, we don't have to worry. ” "That Feng Xiao'an is old and confused, he has to work against the court, where are his arms too bad."
Madame Zheng is also a sober person, although the recent actions of the imperial court are very unpopular, but those poor ghosts are very welcome.
Besides, in fact, the imperial court has always been like this, even if it is a rich landlord, it is often plundered and extorted by the imperial court.
This is the case with the Sui Dynasty, and his Tang Dynasty is no better.
Small fish eat dried shrimp, big fish eat small fish, all are the same, and the world is as black as a crow.
In November in Xiangyang, however, a trend of the rich going south suddenly blew up.
A large number of wealthy people began to drag their families from Hebei, Hedong, Guanzhong, Henan, Shannan, Huainan and other places to Shannanxi, Jiangnandong, Jiangnanxi, Qianzhong, Jiannan and other provinces.
Due to the sudden order of the imperial court to forcibly buy grain from the rich landlords in the disaster area, and the government took the initiative to persuade them to temporarily move away from the disaster area, the big families in the disaster area finally felt that they had no nostalgia and began to move out of the disaster area on a large scale, or to flee the disaster area.
For this trend, the imperial court not only did not stop it, but even supported it.
"Those who have the ability will go, and if they go, one will die.
After the disaster, come back. ” Li Chao, who has returned to the political hall, is very calm about the following report.
Even the current trend of wealthy households fleeing the disaster area also has the role of Li Chao secretly fanning the flames, and every issue of Banyuetan has recently published the news that many large households in the disaster area have been broken by hungry people to rob their homes and kill people.
For the imperial court, now that the rich families leave the disaster area, their food can be taken out to help more victims.
And when the rich families leave, they don't need to worry about the court, they can move out by themselves.
In the end, Li Shimin still did not agree to start reducing the ration of relief food for the people again, in fact, Li Chao did not want this to happen, and if it really came to that point, the result would be quite cruel.
Li Shimin chose to buy grain from the rich landlords, which made the imperial court have a lot of bad comments in the hearts of the rich and powerful, but in order to ensure that the Tang Dynasty was not chaotic, Li Shimin couldn't care about this.
"The whole north, half of the country, but there are many complaints."
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said helplessly.
Li Chao said, "It is those powerful landlords who complain, but the people of the world are singing praises to Your Majesty."
Besides, in fact, although the powerful landlords have some complaints, they are only complaining, and they are not so resentful of the imperial court.
What the imperial court is doing now is actually within everyone's tolerance level, and it has not yet been completed. ” "In the end, it's very dangerous, if those powerful people are in the end, then it's the opposite.
Rebellion is much more harmful than the rebellion of ordinary hungry people.
Fang Xuanling pointed out.
"I also know that we are walking the wire rope now, and every step is extremely difficult, and if we are not careful, we may fall.
But we can't stop yet, and it's easier to fall if we stop.
We had to go through this section carefully and quickly. ” There are only two paths for the prime ministers.
In the face of such a serious famine, either to protect the interests of those landlords and heroes, the imperial court allowed the landlords and heroes to hoard grain in the year of famine, make profits at high prices, and then watch hundreds of people starve to death.
Watching those people become homeless, moving around, and finally becoming hungry people who rioted and rebelled, the beacon smoke was everywhere, making chaos everywhere, and swept through the Central Plains.
If the imperial court did not want to see such a result happen, then it could only take action against the powerful landlords for the time being.
Now the imperial court is doing exactly this, restricting the grain market, controlling the grain trade, and even forcibly expropriating the grain of the landlords and powerful people, processing relief grain, providing relief grain for work, rationing grain, and so on.
It is also dangerous to do this, because the people do not have enough to eat, they are hungry, and they will rebel when they are hungry.

And the powerful may be dissatisfied because their interests have been damaged, and if this resentment is greater, the powerful may unite to rebel.
Feng Xiao'an, they conspired to make trouble.
Although the possibility of their rebellion succeeding is very small, these people may really do something to cause chaos.
It's like the Sui Dynasty wiped out Nanchen back then, but because the Sui Dynasty implemented the new policy of the imperial court in Jiangnan, it greatly touched the interests of those powerful nobles in Jiangnan, and as a result, Jiangnan was in chaos, and the entire Jiangnan was reversed.
Countless powerful people rose up to create a rebellion against the Sui Dynasty.
Of course, although the Jiangnan rebellion was huge, they were also extinguished quickly.
Yang Sushi and other generals quelled the rebellion in Jiangnan, and it took more than a year to wipe out this great rebellion.
After quelling the rebellion, the new policies of the Sui Dynasty were finally successfully implemented in Jiangnan.
For the prime ministers of the Tang Dynasty, they also clearly know that these various disaster relief strategies are harming the interests of those powerful people.
"The lesser of two evils, if they really want to oppose, then we can't do anything."
Li Chao said casually.
When formulating these policies, Li Chao had already taken into account the possible reactions of the powerful people, and the most dangerous one was that the powerful people would resentment and even rebel because of this.
Li Chao weighed and considered various consequences, and finally came to the conclusion that the possibility of rebellion by the powerful was the least, and even if there was a rebellion, it was one of the relatively less harmful developments.
"If you really want to rebel, then the water will flood and the soldiers will stop you.
If they rebel because the court borrowed some food from them in the disaster year, then they are killing themselves.
If the name is not right, the teacher is unknown, what kind of rebellion do they have, why should they let others follow him, do they want to let those people who refuse to borrow food, want to watch those people who starve to death, follow them, support them?"
"I hope it doesn't come to this point, if it really comes to that point, even if the court can put down the rebellion, it will make the court even worse."
Fang Xuanling said.
Li Chao also understands that when a rebellion occurs, it will sprinkle a handful of salt on Datang's wounds, and now he can only hope that those landlords and heroes will not be so stupid.
"I hope that this time I can collect more grain from the rich landlords."
Fang Xuanling is full of expectations, and he can only look forward to this now. t1706231537:
