The hot wife of the champion

Chapter 518 Strong (2)
Didn't you hear the imperial decree just issued by the emperor?Who dares to confuse the public with false rumors, criticize the emperor for being unvirtuous, punish the crime of treason, and kill the nine clans?I believe that as long as I dare to stand up, I will definitely become the king's leader in killing chickens and monkeys!

Following the emperor's will, one after another reached all states and counties. Not only did all the officials of the Great Zhou know the emperor's strong prevention of locust plagues, but even ordinary people of the Great Zhou knew that a large locust plague would occur within a year or two.

Immediately, government offices all over the country were busy. According to the emperor's will, they organized government offices to serve the people, wiped out the locusts, and eradicated the eggs.There are also merchants from all over the world, who suddenly became honest, no one dared to take the opportunity to adjust prices, even if the business was not done, they would not dare to be charged with treason.

The crown prince went to Junzhou for disaster relief, and King Wu led a group of soldiers to patrol all parts of Dazhou to prevent thieves from taking the opportunity to loot.Xu Yin took his seven gentlemen and the Jiangnan scholars who formed their own style, and went to various government offices to organize the prevention of locust plagues.

In the eyes of everyone, this action is believed to be the emperor's actions to eliminate dissidents by taking the opportunity to fight for his own face.It can also be said that for the implementation of the New Deal, the emperor even ignored the crimes committed by the emperors of the past dynasties.

On the surface, the New Deal seems to have nothing to do with the people, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, it still has a great impact. If the imperial treasury is rich, it will definitely reduce some taxes on the people, and it will also be in other places. Improve people's lives.Almost all the people are supportive of the New Deal. After all, the treasury is abundant, which is a good thing, and it will not affect their own taxes by nature. It should be paid by the rich!

The biggest impact of the New Deal is naturally the interests of the gentry families, but these gentry know it well, the court tax collection is difficult, in fact, it is still difficult because the gentry benefits are too much, but they will never agree to this.

The new policy will not have much impact on the later recruits. After all, they have not spoken out with any position, so they can only accept it passively, otherwise they will not expect to be successful.

Seemingly a warning incident of a ground-breaking dragon, it was interpreted by various forces of the emperor's courtiers as the focus of promoting the New Deal and obstructing the New Deal.It is also the various forces that are safeguarding their own interests.

However, Wen Jing knows that the locust plague that Brother Xu said really exists, but there is still a year and a half to go. During this period, she also discussed with Brother Xu in private, how to remind the emperor to prevent such a large-scale locust plague, but she can't explain such a statement Do you want to tell the emperor that you and Brother Xu lived a new life, so you only know about it?This must not be said.

Although the Dilong incident in Junzhou brought local disasters, it gave Brother Xu the opportunity to use the sky as a warning to speak out about the locust plague. The emperor actually believed it?

Not only that, the emperor attached great importance to the locust plague that Brother Xu had mentioned. He not only actively stored food, but also arranged for King Wu to assist him. It was what I and Brother Xu wanted to see.

The horror of a large-scale locust plague is not just that the locusts plunder once, it is terrible. After the locust plague, it will not be able to slow down in the next few years. It is only because the eggs left by the locust plague are difficult to clean up, and it will continue year after year. To add insult to injury.

In the previous life, a large-scale locust plague occurred one year later, involving more than [-] states, and lasted for several years. At that time, the emperor ordered the local government to organize the people to catch and kill the locusts and eliminate the eggs, so that the locust plague slowly stopped. down.

I still remember the price of grain in those years, it was really expensive!Many people died of starvation in those years.Fortunately, the locust plague did not involve the Yangzhou area in those years.But in Fujian, the grain-producing areas of Huguang and Huguang provinces, flooding occurred.It also involves Henan and Hebei.

Fortunately, the emperor let Brother Xu preside over the unified arrangements for the prevention of locust plagues, otherwise I would not know how to remind the emperor of such a large locust plague.

The people in Yanjing also knew about the locust plague, and every family had the idea of ​​stockpiling grain, but within a few days, the grain merchants in Yanjing ran out of food supplies.

"Che'er, the opportunity has come. This time the emperor ignored the people of the world for the sake of his own face. Such a big fight is a good time to start a riot. In a peaceful and prosperous world, our clansmen would naturally not be able to take any action, but now is the time." When people are panicking, we first arrange for people to transfer food to Ryukyu Island, so that Dazhou is short of food, and the people will naturally be full of resentment. There may be some rebels. Then they will be able to plunder with black beards. This time, they can be let go to kill and set fire. You don’t have to be the same as before, just looting and not killing people, the more chaos the better!”

Patriarch Xuanyuan thought he had seen the opportunity, and began to arrange the rebellion, but he didn't know that the emperor's big move was to wait for the Xuanyuan family to jump out by themselves, and to eradicate these scourges in one go.Otherwise, he would not have arranged for King Wu to lead people to inspect the various places. In fact, he would still be staring at Xuanyuan, but it was just under the guise of preventing locust plagues.

There was even Jinling Yinzhong, one of the Seven Gentlemen recommended by Xu Yin in time. His grandfather paid too much attention to pirates and was framed by the Xuanyuan family to become an official. Secretly gave Yin Zhong's grandfather a secret decree, asking him to reconvene the old department, train newcomers, and prevent pirates from taking the opportunity to plunder.

Xu Yin has now become the core figure of one side's power, not only the emperor's attention, but also the close follow of the seven gentlemen in the south of the Yangtze River. Xu Yin's sudden rise has long since made this group of scholars in the south of the Yangtze River the emperor. The malleable talent in his eyes, especially Yin Zhong, was even more grateful to Xu Yin.Grandpa had been waiting for this day for a long time.

With the earth-turning dragon incident in Junzhou, the forces of all parties are secretly turbulent, with their own arrangements and plots.

Hmph, if you think this, I'm afraid?Do you think I really have spent these years in vain, and that your Xuanyuan family can treat food as a bargaining chip, so I just let it go?
The grain merchants in Yanjing ran out of food within a few days, and the emperor's own people quickly filled them up. It turns out that the emperor also cultivated grain merchants at the same time as King Wu cultivated his own.Not moving his own grain merchant these years is just paralyzing the Xuanyuan family.

Xuanyuan Zelu saw that after she announced the prohibition of grain sales, there were still grain sales around Yanjing, and she was extremely angry and shocked. So many grain merchants have already escaped from her control, damn it!This time, they asked Blackbeard and the others to burn, kill and loot them first.Damn it, when did you become the emperor's man?
Shocked, Xuanyuan Zelu hastily arranged for his direct descendants to transfer some of them to Ryukyu to preserve the family blood, and the rest was left to fight openly and secretly with the royal family.Taking advantage of the panic among the people of the Great Zhou this time, they are ready to go. However, the Great Zhou must be in chaos first. As long as there is chaos, there will be no worries about rebels.
