Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 2167 Cry poor

  The provincial governor did not expect that Bai Shan would ask about this. He sighed and did not hide it. "Because the governor’s mansion has limited money, I let them demolish all the post stations along the way."

  In fact, there is no dismantling, but it is closed, because dismantling also requires money, so you can save some money when you need to open it in the future.

  If it were other officials, Duan Cishi would definitely have a bit of shame, but facing Zhou Man and them, Duan Cishi would be very shameless.

  When they came, one or two of them were close to the emperor, crying for the poor can let the emperor know that Liangzhou is very poor and urgently needs support;

  Secondly, everyone is a prince’s person, rounding up is one’s own, since they are one’s own, if you have difficulties, you will naturally let your own people know.

  So Duan Cishi was very attentive to cry poorly with Bai Shan and Mr. Zhuang, and even Bai Erlang Yin or the others who were on the side were stunned.

  Liangzhou is very poor, which manifests itself in all aspects.

  Liangzhou originally had a fertile paddy field, which was not very large, but the yamen still received a certain amount of tax from it every year, and the people could barely be self-sufficient.

  In the past two years, there has been little rain in Liangzhou. The paddy field is by the lake. There are two lakes, not very far apart. There are rivers and ditches to draw water from the lake to the paddy fields.

  The farmland was originally located at a certain distance from the lake, in order to prevent water and soil from entering the lake, the lake was shrinking instead.

  As a result, the past two years have been droughts, and the output has decreased, and then a lot of small bugs have been born last year. The output of grain is even more unclear.

  Except for that field, there are only sporadic fields in other places, and there is not enough living, let alone tax collection.

  Except for the rest, they are all herdsmen.

  The tax revenue of herdsmen is not low. Last year, the snow disaster and the epidemic situation did not provide medicinal materials for the disaster-stricken areas.

  So Liangzhou has to be responsible for the treatment of smallpox patients.

  Prescriptions were delivered from the capital city, but they need money to buy medicines, and the patient’s food and drink, including his family’s food and drink, also need money.

  Otherwise, they did not die on smallpox, but died of hunger and bitter cold, which is also a big mistake in his political performance.

  So Duan Cishi made an inventory a year ago and found that he was out of money.

  Forget it if there is no money. He was in a hurry. He temporarily misappropriated the taxes and donations to be handed over to the court, thinking that he could use the excuse to pass the epidemic area along the road for a period of time, and then use the snow disaster to push for a period of time...

  Anyway, this kind of thing, they often do this in the far away state capitals, and they usually don't stop.

The Great Jin has a vast territory, and the places north and west of Xiazhou basically cannot collect taxes, even self-sufficiency is not possible, the Ministry of Households needs to help from time to time, just pay a tribute to the emperor during the holidays and give a gift That's it.

Duan Cishi didn’t do that much. He did succeed this time. Soon after the beginning of the spring, he said that it was snowing again in the north. The lamb froze to death, even the adult sheep froze to death.

  In addition to the loss of smallpox disease, Liangzhou has not slowed down at all.

   So Duan Cishi's book please guilty and cry poor, which means that the tax and donation to be transported to Beijing are gone. In order to fight the snow disaster and smallpox, he had to embezzle it, but it is not enough now, so he asks for state support.

Then the Ministry of Households issued a document expressing his understanding of his misappropriation of taxes. I know that this year is special, but I have to make up in the future. By the way, Liangzhou has a record of not paying taxes for three years in the past eight years. This is the fourth time this year. I hope They will make up in one go in the future.

The Ministry of Households refused to ask for help in Liangzhou and said that the Ministry of Households is also very difficult now. The national treasury has paid a lot to fight the epidemic. It is now the beginning of spring and all places need money. At present, there is no money to give to Liangzhou. I hope he Can you stick to it, increase revenue and reduce expenditure...

  There is no money anyway.

  The governor sighed and said: “That’s why I recalled all the people in the post. I really have no money. Except for the post, I also reduced the number of people in some gates.”

  The post station continues to open. Not only the postmen and the staff need to eat and drink, but also charcoal and other horses.

Those who pass by are merchants or private individuals. It’s okay. They can barely make some money, but they can also subsidize some expenses if they can’t get back the capital. If officials like Zhou Man live in, they will not only receive no money, but they must also be responsible for their food, drinking, and livestock’s food and grass. Wait.

  The cost is huge.

  So Duan Cishi simply recalled all the people and shut down the inn, but he was still poor, so he urgently needed the help of the emperor and prince.

  He looked at Bai Shan with piercing eyes.

Bai Shan: …He just asked curiously. After all, he could have lived in the post every day, even if there was no hot water to take a bath, at least he would have to eat hot meals, but all the way down, after walking through Huaiyuan, they have been sleeping and sleeping together. NS.

  Money, the emperor cannot be alone in the charge, and the Ministry of Households should be right. Other places need more subsidies than Liangzhou.

   So his gaze swept towards Liu Huan.

   Liu Huan immediately lowered his head as he knew nothing.

  Bai Shan can only say that he will meet the prince if he has the opportunity.

  The provincial governor breathed a sigh of relief, but Bai Shan couldn’t help asking: “Is there no local products in Liangzhou to do business with the outside world? I remember there is iron ore here in Liangzhou.”

  Duan Jishi said with a complicated expression: "The iron ore in Liangzhou was sold as early as the Dade period."

  That was the matter of the first emperor. Bai Shan said that he understood that the time was very chaotic. Liangzhou is in the Jin Dynasty today, and it may be Turkic tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, it may be taken by Tubo.

  Dajin must be short of money after the occupation, and simply sold the iron ore under its jurisdiction to the local clans.

  Dajin may not be able to hold Liangzhou, but the local clans should be able to hold their own iron mines. It’s okay if they can’t hold them. Anyway, if Dajin takes the money, it will not be him who will lose.

Who knows that his Majesty has slowly stabilized the situation after he became king. He not only regained Liangzhou, but also expanded the territory, taking back places that originally belonged to other territories. Did you take back the iron ore?

  The place must also be long-term and stable.

  Bai Shan didn't dare to give him any ideas. He could only say: "Maybe you can ask them to donate some, anyway, let's talk about it after this year."

  The provincial governor does not intend to look down and ask those people for the time being. He waits for the court's assistance first, and talks about it when there is none.

Man Bao had already seen Mrs. Duan’s illness. She was suffering from rheumatism, so her legs and feet were uncomfortable when the weather was cold and raining. There was no good way to do this. Man Bao gave her a set of stitches and prescribed it to her. Foot bath and oral medicine.

  She said: "I wonder if there are doctors who can acupuncture in Liangzhou City. If so, I will leave a set of needles. He can give the old lady a prick, once every ten days, with medicine, the effect is much better."

  The old lady feels much better at the moment, her legs are a little warm, not as uncomfortable as before, and she immediately said: "It is best to leave the prescription, the doctor of Zhou is willing to leave. We will go to the doctor later."

  This set of acupuncture is mainly used to pierce the lower limbs. The old lady is getting older, even if she is a male doctor, she can try it.

  It’s because the back is not pierced. The old lady twisted and asked, "Is there a needle that doesn't pierce the back?"

  Man Bao thought for a while and said: "I can streamline it, but the effect is not as good as this set of stitches."

  The old lady sighed regretfully, but she still accepted it. She could accept it with her trouser legs up, but she couldn't lift her clothes in front of the male doctor.

  　See you at six in the afternoon
