I’m Marquis in Great Tang

One day is fleeting.

This day at noon.

Lan Changhe personally went outside the city, interrogating Mo Feng and the others in front of all the people. Yesterday, the Provincial Governor government had arranged for someone to issue an order, saying that the ink seals and the others would be interrogated, and that they would distribute grain seeds for free. Therefore, after the news spread, the people who gathered together were countless. People in circles blocked the area outside the city, which was overcrowded and blocked.

When Lan Changhe announced the crimes of Mofeng and the others and executed Mofeng and the others in public, he finally announced the free distribution of grains according to household registration. By then, the people can go directly to the Provincial Governor’s government office. receive.

Although the official announcement has been made before, it can be said through the mouth of the Provincial Governor of Lanchang River. The news is different. All the people in Cháng’ān were all rejoiced and excited, and they were deeply grateful towards Lanchang River.

Lan Changhe didn’t stay too much, so he left. However, Lan Changhe never returned to the Provincial Governor Mansion, but went straight to the palace. Now that the matter is resolved, it is necessary to report to Du Qi.

This is what we will do now.

Lan Changhe came to the palace to beg to see him. When he entered the great hall, after Lan Changhe gave a salute, he first talked about today’s disposal and that he might eventually buy grain seeds from Han Yun and distribute them to the people for free. Thing.

After all the things have been elaborated, Lan Changhe opened the mouth and said: “His Majesty, the minister’s next plan is to use work for relief, continue to build fortifications, and continue to mobilize the people to dig trenches. , So that the people can make money to support their families and get through this difficult stage. But at the moment, there is still one of the most difficult things that needs His Majesty’s help.”

Du Qi nodded and said: “But it’s okay to say! “

Lan Changhe’s disposal and Lan Changhe’s plan are impeccable, and Du Qi is extremely satisfied. With Lan Changhe as the Provincial Governor of Jingzhou, Du Qi is not worried about the livelihood of Cháng’ān and even the people of Jingzhou.

Lan Changhe said: “The minister investigated and dealt with the family properties of Mo Feng and the other merchants. Although they have a lot of money, although they can have some food, they will definitely not have enough food to spend this summer. The entire Jingzhou The grain has been taken away by Li Shimin, and there are no grains left in the granary. The grain obtained from the investigation can last for a while, but it is impossible for a long time.”

“Even if you ask Han Yun for help, continue to sell the grain. , But it is still not enough. Because the work-for-work, although it is to make the people make money. But this money will eventually become food. If there is not enough food, Du Qi will have to be hungry. In the long run, the Imperial Court is needed. Dispatch a batch of grain to Jingzhou to ensure that thousands of people in Jingzhou can survive this summer’s difficulties.”

Lan Changhe said solemnly: “It will be easy to handle the autumn harvest. After all, Jingzhou has a lot of land and sparsely populated people. As long as there are more plants, the autumn harvest will be easier.”

Du Qi nodded approvingly after hearing that, Lan Changhe’s consideration is mature. Under the premise that there is a shortage of food in the entire Guanzhong, if the people only depend on food and clothing, and the food that is investigated and dealt with to help the people, it will definitely be far from enough.

It is simply unrealistic to buy food from the surrounding areas. After all, there is a shortage of food in the surrounding areas, because now the entire Great Tang is already in a mess. There are constant wars in various places, and there is no food in all places. The only solution to this difficulty is to draw grain from the country to help the people. After all, the weather in Xia Country is good, there are many areas suitable for farming, and there is enough food output.

Du Qi nodded: “How much food do you need?”

Lanchang River Road: “At least 300,000 shi of food, and this amount may not be enough. After all, at the moment, It is not an easy task to revitalize the entire Jingzhou.”

Du Qi nodded and said: “No problem, I will allocate 300,000 shi for you.”

Blue Changhe excitedly said: “All Listens to your Majesty!”

Du Qi said: “If you want money, I will give you money; if you want food, I will give you food; in a word, I will give you the bottom line . But I hope that this autumn, Cháng’ān and even Jingzhou will no longer be short of food. Even Jingzhou will serve as the granary of Xia Country to supply food.”

Lanchang River Road: “His Majesty , The minister has a suggestion.”

Du Qi said: “Say!”

Lan Changhe said: “The minister does not know His Majesty. Next, he plans to attack Li Tang. But The minister believes that before the autumn harvest, it is possible to stop sending troops to attack Li Tang, but to keep the soldiers in the army. In the entire Gyeonggi Province, from Longzhou, Qizhou, and now Jingzhou, the whole line of military “

“There are very few people in the place, and the farmland everywhere is barren. It only takes one season in the army to activate the entire Guanzhong, which will not cause hidden dangers to His Majesty, or even the entire Guanzhong people. Will support His Majesty, and will follow His Majesty.”

“On the other hand, if His Majesty continues to advance, the consequences will be extremely dangerous. Because the life of the people is difficult, the rear is unstable. Even the people lack After food, it may cause chaos among the people. In short, food is the heaven for the people.”

Lan Changhe said: “The only way to ensure the people’s stomach is to consider other things.”

Du Qi nodded and said: “I will consider it.”

“The minister retire!”

Lan Changhe had finished talking about the matter, so he got up and quit. When Lan Changhe had already retreated, Du Qi thought about it, and arranged for someone to call Shangguan Yi. Shangguan Yi looked excited and said: “His Majesty, are we ready to go south and attack Li Shimin?”

Now Xiao Yuanqi has led his army to leave, although Ma Yuan and Su Dingfang have not yet Arrived, but did not affect Du Qi’s army to fight. Therefore, at the moment, Shangguan Yi is ready to fight as an impatient, and will go south to Jiangdu with Du Qi to completely destroy Li Shimin’s army.

Du Qi shook his head and said: “No, we will not send troops for the time being.”

Shangguan Yi was surprised when he heard it.

I feel incredible.

Shangguan Yi thought in his heart: “His Majesty, could something happen? His Majesty is going to postpone going to Jiangdu in the south?”

Du Qi said: “Lan Changhe came to report just now. Speaking of the current situation in Guanzhong. Nowadays, within the territory of Jingzhou, and even Longzhou, Qizhou, and even Longyou Dao Realm, in fact, the land is sparsely populated, the people are few, and the land is too much. After all, there have been continuous wars, and the place is dying. People have a hard time.”

Shangguan Yi is also nodded and said: “His Majesty, the Blue Provincial Governor is true. Guanzhong is exhausted and sparsely populated. It is indeed a problem. Great Tang has several times and said. We went to war in Xia Country and lost countless soldiers. Especially in Great Tang, they were all recruited from the local government. So after successive losses, countless people died in battle. Or, we moved to Xia Country. Therefore, now Gyeonggi Province and Longyou Province have few people, and the people’s livelihood is difficult. It is not easy.”

Du Qi said: “At present, our food depends entirely on domestic support. Although there is no shortage of food in China, But it’s not easy to transport from Xia Country. The road is too far. Even if the Cement Road exists, it consumes a lot. Under this premise, it is not easy to transport food from the country. I plan to This time the attack on Great Tang made an adjustment.”

Shangguan Yi asked: “His Majesty, how to adjust?”

Du Qi’s analysis, Shangguan Yi thought it was right.

It’s just how to adjust specifically, that is a major issue. For a while, Shangguan Yi didn’t know how Du Qi planned to adjust. But Shangguan Yi is also worried, afraid of improper adjustments, and he doesn’t want to have problems at the most critical time of the attack on Great Tang.
