Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

Perhaps what the common people lost was their own rations, but those guys just lost their lives... And the aristocratic family class will lose a lot of money because of this!

……

Some people may think that in times of chaos, aristocratic families can use the opportunity of worthless names to buy and sell people wantonly, raise slaves, and enhance the strength of their own families. steady state.In fact, this is actually incorrect, and it is all inherent impressions of the aristocratic family.

As an "upper class" who shares a lot of common language with the "bourgeoisie", the aristocratic family actually has many needs, which are consistent with the capitalists.

For example, the stable market, and the rapid development of economic trends and so on.

Only when the market is stable, can they quickly obtain benefits in such an environment and realize the means of production in their hands.

Only when the economy develops, as the owners of the means of production and social wealth, can they better enjoy the dividends of "development".

And once the social order really collapses, the aristocratic family needs to think about whether they will lose what they have because the society loses order.

……

Take the two incidents that everyone is familiar with as examples. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang raised the banner of rebellion and vowed to overthrow the tyranny of the Great Qin Dynasty... At that time, who was the most panicked? Could it be the Great Qin Emperor?

of course not.

The most panicked ones are naturally those "kind people" who are disturbed by "the princes and generals are rather kind".

It is precisely because of this that in the process of suppressing this rebel army, not only the rulers of the Qin Dynasty worked hard, but even those aristocratic families made great efforts, for fear that the other party would really establish a society without "kind" people. .

Another example is the "five random China" incidents that will occur in the next few hundred years in the normal course of historical development.

Many people know that Wuhu Luanhua was the first time in the history of China to suffer such a comprehensive foreign invasion, and the Chinese nation also suffered a lot in the process...

But what many people don't know is that in this process, the "Xiongnu" and "Xianbei" and other Hu people not only brought suffering, but also brought some other, different things.

For Hu people, they don't care what you call "upper class" or "inferior class". Maybe the so-called aristocratic family is just a little more "fine skin and tender meat" than ordinary people, with a better taste. better……

As for other things related to social status, the barbarians don't care.

With this understanding, the "family" that has continued since the founding of China 5000 years ago was wiped out by the Hu people from China's land at one time.

Family?

Maybe it tastes better than others...

……

In this way, unlike other prefects in the same period who either had no one available and could only appoint local people to join the cabinet, or rejected the local people in every possible way and had no trust in them, Zhang Yan's appointment of middle and high-level officials can be said to be varied— —

Some followed him during the Luoyang period, some defected to him later, some were selected locally, and some were even seconded from Xuzhou Governor Tao Qian.

The implementers responsible for specific matters are mostly local families in Lujiang, or members of foreign families who have relocated to Lujiang for reasons such as large libraries and education.

Doing this brought Zhang Yan a significant benefit, that is, even if Zhang Yan didn't deliberately emphasize anything, these people would still wholeheartedly carry out disaster-resistance preparations related to Lujiang for their own benefit.

Even before Zhang Yan finished speaking, the scholars below who had already reacted began to whisper among each other and asked about things related to the locust plague.

……

"Hey, what's going on, I haven't heard of locust plagues breaking out in China recently?"

"The servants in my family have gone to work in the Huainan Industrial Zone in the north this spring. This year's spring planting is a bit later than in previous years, and the wheat in the field is still green now!"

"If this is eaten by locusts, there will be tens of hundreds of people in my family, and next year's rations will be in vain!"

……

He whispered a question to a scholar beside him. The person who spoke was a middle-level official in Lujiang. It seemed that he was usually in charge of civil affairs and was not familiar with the agriculture and animal husbandry industry. Therefore, when he heard Zhang Yan After mentioning the locust plague, his face suddenly became a little ugly.

……

"Hey, don't mention it, it's just a few days ago."

……

The person he asked was also a native of Lujiang. It seemed that the two were old acquaintances, so they were not too surprised at the moment.

It's just that the worried look on his face seemed to melt away.

……

"If I remember correctly, there seems to be a moderate locust plague in Jiaozhou this year, but it didn't take long for the locust plague to disappear."

"At that time, because the time was too short, we all thought the locust plague had been quelled, so we didn't pay much attention to it... I didn't expect that the insect swarm went northward along the wind direction and ran to our Yangzhou border!"

"Since the prefect said that there were signs of locusts infesting the Lujiang River, it is estimated that it is close to ten. Even those places in the south such as Yuzhang and Luling may have suffered disasters, and we need to help them this year. food……"

"In the year of the catastrophe, the landlord's family has no food left!"

"It's hard for us to protect ourselves. We don't know how many people will be starved to death in the south by the end of this year... and several families will disappear because of this."

……

As for farming and animal husbandry, the person being questioned is obviously much more familiar with it than the previous person.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he analyzed the possible causes of this locust plague in every possible way.

In normal times, everyone might have to worry about whether this person is a little dereliction of duty.

After all, since he had already received the news of the disaster in Jiaozhou, that is, Guangdong and Guangxi, but he has not told everyone, this is obviously a form of dereliction of duty in disguise.

It's just that now, everyone's attention has been drawn to his own safety... On the contrary, not many people pay attention to a small character like him.

……

"Okay, okay, don't make noise, the eunuch hasn't finished talking yet, why are you sighing here!"

"If you continue to babble like this, I'm afraid I didn't remember what the prefect said, but I will remember exactly what you two said!"

Not far from the two of them, a middle-aged man wearing Lujiang official uniform but without official seal glanced at them sideways with some displeasure, and at the same time scolded them softly.

Most of the people dressed like the other party are bureaucrats from the Agriculture Department, Industry Department, and Science and Technology Department, so-called "technical officials."

These people were either workers or students before, so there was not too much bureaucratic atmosphere in their actions, but they were more down-to-earth and more aware of current affairs.

Seeing that the man was a little displeased, the two scholars in front blushed, cupped their hands towards each other, and then fell silent.

……

"Everyone, you are all my siblings, all my compatriots, and I promoted them one by one from the grassroots in Lujiang. You all have your own abilities and ideals."

"I think, even if it is ideal that these things will be corrupted by time, but it has only been two years, even if you change, it will not change so fast."

"The locust plague is a disaster, a disaster for the entire Lujiang River. As Lujiang people, we are each other's members of Lujiang River, and we should all shoulder our own responsibilities in the face of this disaster."

"Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a short period of time, everyone understands the truth. You usually have the salary of a big man. At this time, you naturally have to do something for the people of the big man."

"Then, I won't talk too much nonsense next. I will make a series of arrangements, you all listen well and remember well."

"If you have any questions, please record them first. After I finish speaking, you can ask and add."

……

Leaving aside the other whisperers, on the other side, Zhang Yan's words continued.

Naturally, he couldn't wait for everyone to understand the situation before assigning tasks... Then it would be too late.

Just glanced over the crowd with his eyes, Zhang Yan saw that everyone had arrived, so he ordered them one by one.

……

"First of all, it's about the rush harvesting of grain. In this area, the Department of Agriculture will do the rush harvesting, regardless of the cost."

"In the next ten days, all production work in Lujiang can be suspended for a while, and everything will make way for the work of grain harvesting."

"The locust plague is a natural disaster, and we cannot guarantee that we will be able to successfully eradicate this disaster. Correspondingly, it is a little bit that can be grabbed, and a little bit that can be collected."

"Maybe the extra wheat you harvest today can save a family tomorrow."

……

"This area is given to the Department of Agriculture to take full responsibility, Kuai Qi, and you will supervise it."

"Do you have any questions?"

……

Looking at his side, Zhang Yan has always trusted Kuai Qi's ability to work.

And Kuai Qi nodded to him without any surprise.

As the Prime Minister of Wancheng, he was supposed to be in charge of all the government affairs of the entire Lujiang River, such as agriculture, industry, technology and even education. He was involved in everything.

Now it is just to expand the work from Wancheng to the whole Lujiang, which is not too difficult for him.

……

"Uh, Mr. Zhang, I have some questions that I would like to ask."

……

Not far behind Kuai Qi, a somewhat simple and honest voice came, and Zhang Yan looked intently, it was the technocrat who had just scolded the two scholars.

The two scholars just now didn't know each other. As the leader of Lujiang, Zhang Yan was quite familiar with these middle and upper level officials.The other party is the number two person in the entire Agriculture Department.Before the current head of the Agriculture Department recovered from his serious illness, he was in charge of the entire agricultural and animal husbandry industry in Lujiang.

"What's the problem, tell me?"

Nodding towards the other party, Zhang Yan raised the corner of his mouth, which could be regarded as a slight encouragement to the other party.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man lowered his head and settled his mind, and then asked Zhang Yan in front of everyone.

……

"Prefect, you don't know. At present, the food crops we grow in Lujiang mainly include rice, barley and beans."

"Among them, Shu beans have the largest planting area. This is also one of the main rations for the people of Lujiang. It has matured by the end of July this year. Needless to say, every household has almost harvested it now."

"Although the rice matures late, only a few people in Lujiang can afford it. Paddy fields are even rarer, and the fluctuations in food are not too big."

"It's mainly wheat rice, that is, wheat..."

……

There was a slight pause in the tone, and the official of the Department of Agriculture obviously had some hesitation in his eyes:

"According to the normal climate, wheat is ripe at the end of August... a large part of our current Lujiang wheat field is not yet ripe, and it is even still being filled with grout."

"I know what you mean. When I came here before, the waiter also told me that even if the output is a little lower, it is better than nothing."

"But wheat is different!"
