Zhu Yuanzhang personally watched the disaster relief, but even so, some people dared to make small movements under his nose, which made Zhu Yuanzhang very angry.
Throughout the dynasties, whenever a natural disaster occurred, this kind of thing was always inevitable, and as long as the imperial court’s disaster relief grain money continued, it would inevitably be heavily exploited by officials, and officials protected each other, and it was also very troublesome to investigate.
Although at the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang was mentally prepared, he did not expect that there were so many Wei Mei rays under his hands.
Don’t let yourself find out, just find out, just one word, kill!
In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang also has a direction that he pays special attention to, that is, businessmen bid up prices.
At present, the price of grain in the land of the Three Jins is simply sky-high, and even in the surrounding areas, such as the grain in Qidi, the price has soared all the way, and it cannot be suppressed.
In the land of the Three Jins, merchants who dare to hoard goods and live strangely are all sent to prison, and they are beheaded after the fall.
All grain was confiscated for disaster relief.
But this wave of action soon passed, because the soaring grain prices in the Three Jins were essentially caused by supply and demand.
So huge demand, and the food supply is simply insufficient, prices are soaring, it is simply uncontrollable.
Grain merchants simply hid and preferred not to sell, which further aggravated the problem of market supply.
Even if a few big businessmen who hoard goods are imprisoned, they will not solve the problem, and the price is still high.
And Zhu Yuanzhang also set his sights on grain merchants who drove up prices in other places, and these grain merchants who ran to the land of the Three Jins to make a fortune also needed to be severely punished. But this time he miscalculated, and the outbreak of the disaster in the land of the Three Jins did not give the grain merchants enough time to prepare.
By the time everyone reacted, the disaster had spread, and a large number of displaced people were everywhere, as long as they were experienced grain merchants, during this time period, they did not dare to enter the land of the Three Jins.
Because their grain trucks, once they enter the land of the three Jins, there is only one result, that is, there is no return, let alone make money, and their lives may not be saved.
Only some inexperienced young people will take a chance, but the result can be imagined, it is difficult to really sell grain to the market, earn silver, and on the way, they are robbed by the disaster victims.
There is another very important reason, that is, since Zhu Rong entered Qingzhou, he has attached great importance to trade, especially in his own territory, and his right to speak is extremely important.
From the beginning of just entering Qingzhou and letting the caravan sell salt everywhere, his business began to develop to various industries, making the entire Qi Di business environment very harmonious, the most important thing is that Zhu Rong also engaged in several major projects, one is the construction of the Qi Royal Mansion, the other is the construction of asphalt roads, and the other is to build a six-story small building on a large scale in Qingzhou City, which has greatly promoted the surrounding industries!
This is full of various business opportunities and a large number of profits, and the eyes of merchants have always focused on this area, and as for the land of the three Jins, they have not paid much attention at all.
Now that the disaster has completely broken out, and even the displaced people have approached Qidi Prefecture and County, how can any grain merchant dare to expose grain to the public’s eye?!
Tie Xuan, the envoy of Jinan Province, asked all prefectures and counties to be ready to welcome the arrival of a large number of victims at any time, build porridge sheds, and prepare shelters.
At the same time, disaster victims were strictly forbidden to enter the city, and states and counties were prepared for the outbreak of the plague.
Although the disaster occurred in the land of the Three Jins, Tie Xuan’s legs and stomach had begun to tremble.
According to the news, hundreds of thousands of victims have come from the west to the east, and it will not be long before they arrive in Qidi one after another.
Hundreds of thousands of people, every day open their mouths, they have to eat!
What to feed them?!
A disaster like this is clearly a bottomless pit, but it can only survive until next year, when new crops are produced in the fields, to completely eliminate the impact of this wave of disasters.
In fact, Qidi’s harvest this year is not very good, although the drought is not as severe as in the land of the three Jins, but the landlords who have a lot of land in their hands have planted a lot of potatoes, and now, the potatoes have been destroyed and sent to Qingzhou.
As for the grain stored in the hands of ordinary people, it is not much.
At present, the price of grain in Qidi has also increased significantly, one price a day.
Qi Di also has the task of disaster relief and grain transportation, and has opened the granary and sent some to Jindi, and some have been purchased from the market, but the price of grain is getting higher and higher, and he, the envoy of Jinan Province, cannot turn the tide.
A truckload of grain and a drop in the bucket will not be able to relieve this disaster.
Soon, the news of the influx of the first batch of displaced people into Qi reached the ears of Tie Xuan, the envoy of Jinan Province.
It is not surprising that no state or county can contain such a large army of displaced people.
The displaced people, who did not have enough to eat, continued to march eastward.
The gates of each city were tightly closed, and they could not enter at all, so they could only eat food in the porridge shed.
But the grain reserves in each state and county granary are relatively limited.
Although the Daming Dynasty has always advocated the policy of rest and recuperation, to be honest, it has not been idle, and it fights at every turn, and every time it fights, doesn’t it depend on the handover of grain and grass from all over the place?
What’s more, some food had already been dispatched before and went to the land of the Three Jins for disaster relief.
As a result, the victims who did not have enough to eat continued to march from west to east, all the way east.
In front, is Qingzhou City.
