Chapter 546 The prophecy is like a lost Xueluo silently

In the past disaster relief, if the affected area was not large and there were more determined disaster relief officials above, then the government could use some more drastic means and measures.Generally speaking, go directly to the big family's house to persuade and coerce, and if anyone doesn't listen, kill the last batch, and the price of food will be curbed to some extent.With such means and decisions, officials who are not afraid of retaliation after the event are often regarded as cruel and good officials.

At the beginning of this disaster relief campaign, Qin Siyuan had also made such a decision, wanting to save more people.But at the time, he also understood that the scale of the food price increase this time, relying on this method, was actually a drop in the bucket and could not do much.And if the means have been used, it is even more likely that the prime minister will be liquidated before the disaster relief is completed.Because of this consideration, after weighing it for a long time, he decided to use Ning Yi's opinion.

But this does not mean that the power of the Right Prime Minister's government cannot be moved by one person.

The big households who participated in the grain collection, such as the Qi family, the Zuo family, and the Cai family, were basically able to compete with Qin Siyuan on the stage.On the stage, it was impossible for Qin Siyuan to directly tear up his face with these people, because no one would dare to offend so many parties at the same time.But disaster relief and making money are things that are done under the table. Even if these tycoons and big families cannot be moved, there will always be some small families, and the prime minister's government is qualified to do everything.

Before the snowfall, Ning Yi and others had been refraining from using this power. Except for some who were going to incite civil unrest at that time, or directly attack officials, the rest were just running around to lobby and let them watch this place quietly. thing.Secretly, he made a foreshadowing: "We are very determined this time, you can see it when you see it."

When it snows, everything starts to move. Officials have collected information on some small and medium-sized landowners who collect grain.With an order, break down the door immediately and be tried and convicted. For the serious part of the situation, the Prime Minister's Mansion has obtained the emperor's approval, but it will not wait for the autumn to be executed directly.This one was killed for other small grain farmers.

In the capital, these methods of Qin Siyuan won Zhou Zhe's understanding.With the arrest, imprisonment, and beheading, a batch of food that had been waiting for rushed into the market, and the porridge for disaster relief also reached the most generous level at the moment when it snowed.And the counterattack of the big households also unfolded.

Ambitious big households quickly ate the grain that was put into the market, and if there was a relationship, they stopped the rice grain put in through officialdom or various channels.As for the government's porridge, they began to try to create chaos, and even the granary was secretly set on fire in several places.Conflicts between big grain farmers and foreign merchants are becoming more and more intense.The public security in the disaster area dropped rapidly for a while.

Due to the heavy snowfall and the deterioration of public security, some of the merchants from other places chose to leave.Some people who had been incited to the blood, after realizing the cold reality, no longer stayed here.Only a few young people stayed, and they became more united.The passage of food passages has become difficult, which means that the total amount of food in the disaster area is basically only so much.However, the first round of drastic measures led to the psychological collapse of some small households, and they began to sell food, and this trend is still increasing.

These are also the conventional means of confrontation in the disaster area.And the real danger and the decision of the overall situation are actually above the court.

The rhetoric of the two prime ministers has become more intense at this time.Almost every day, there are many excerpts from the performances. They are not directed at Li Gang and Qin Siyuan, but the officials under their command, especially the officials in charge of disaster relief, who have been blamed the most.The emperor Zhou Zhe was very troubled, but basically he still supported the prime minister's disaster relief department. As an emperor, he could probably see some of the current situation clearly. Only those with solid evidence would be ordered to be severely investigated and dismissed by him. .

On Li Gang and Qin Siyuan's side, they also played some lower officials in their own words. Some minor officials who hindered disaster relief were the most involved. Almost every day, people were sacked.While maintaining the tendentious cooperation, the emperor also complained to Li Gang and the others: "Don't be too violent, lest one day you get burned, I can't stand being annoyed by all sides recently, not only in court. above the hall."

However, in December, the biggest loss for the prime minister's family was Lin Chiting, the capital transfer envoy from Jingnan Road, who was a general under Qin Siyuan's command.He manages Jingnan Road, and his investment in the maintenance of business roads and disaster relief was originally the most powerful. The only problem is that the largest family on Jingnan Road is named Han, and this is... the Empress Dowager's natal home.

When managing Jingnan Road, Lin Chiting had tried his best to avoid confrontation with the Han family, but all kinds of frictions were still inevitable.In November, the Han family had already come to Beijing to seek the Queen Mother to file a lawsuit against the imperial court. They Luo Zhilin Chiu Ting charged all kinds of domineering, greedy and dereliction of duty on Jinghu Lake Road, prepared witnesses and evidence, and kept running.The participation of some officials became more and more intense. In the end, the queen mother was also persuaded. She felt that her family was there and was greatly bullied.On the other hand, Zhou Zhe also began to examine these things, and finally became furious and prepared to do Lin Chiting.

After the court made such a decision, the minister of officials, Lin Zhongtai, who had a good relationship with Lin Chiting, cried blood and cried, and let Zhou Zhe take it back.Finally, he said: "If Lin Chiting resigns at this time, the countless affected people on Jingnan Road will no longer have a way to live..."

He was an official in the lineage of Li Gang and Qin Siyuan, but at this time he was also in a daze.This made Zhou Zhe furious, slapped the table and scolded: "You bastard, there are no good officials in this world except for Lin Chiting! You should be the only officials who are honest, and apart from you, my subordinates will not save the people from water and fire. The good man!? I'm going to stop Lin Chiting! You! You also thought about going home for me--"

His subordinates damaged two people all at once, and Qin Siyuan was also powerless to recover.Although it was snowing heavily at this time, it would not be so exaggerated to say that the mountains and roads were completely closed, and the will of the court was quickly sent to Jingnan.Lin Chiting was dismissed and asked to go to Beijing for investigation. He was also anxious and cursed. He contracted a serious illness on the way to Beijing, and in the end, only bad news came.

Lin Chiting is only 49 years old this year. As a member of the party, he is in full swing and in the prime of life.Although it is said that resignation at this time has dealt him a huge blow, and it is such a cold winter, but there are many doubts about saying that he really died of illness.It's just that whether this matter is true or whether it was the Jingnan Han family's covert actions, it was difficult to find out after that.

During the disaster relief at this time, there were problems with some small components. The Prime Minister's mansion pieced it together, and they could organize backup personnel. The loss of a senior member like Lin Chiting would directly lead to twice the result with half the effort. situation is happening every day.

The white-haired Qin Siyuan responded to various situations with strong mental strength, and would often discuss with Ning Yi and others to make decisions.Ning Yi had his own set of methods for the business and people's minds. At this time, he was not very familiar with the operation of the military officialdom. The strategies he proposed were often said by Qin Siyuan to be too powerful.In this intertwined confrontation, food prices finally fell firmly, but no one knew what the final result would be and how many people they wanted to save would die.Because in the disaster area at this time, every day, a large number of deaths have occurred, either starved to death, or frozen to death.There are better places for disaster relief by officials and large households, but there are always some people who live in remote mountainous areas.

Far away on Hedong Road, Shishi has been here for a month.In the first period of time, she ran around and participated in disaster relief, porridge, food distribution, and food sales, and she also felt the generosity of blood in her heart.But now, the huge fatigue and psychological pressure have come down. Sometimes she still wears a cloak and a turban to go out to the city to cook porridge, but more often, she will look at the disaster victims from a distance and cry quietly. .

Tears were there in the first time, stopped shortly after, and started to come out again these days.In the first few days, she cried for these victims, but recently, part of her crying is for others and herself.

Over the years, it's not that she hasn't seen tragedies, or she hasn't seen death.However, when she really threw herself in and wanted to do something, and there were many people around her who wanted to do something with the same passion, the frustration she finally ushered in was extremely strong.The words Ning Yi told her when she was in the capital gradually turned into reality after she got here.

"We don't want big players to lose money."

"We just let them earn a little less."

"If they were less greedy, a lot of people would have survived..."

But... every day, many people die...

Food prices have indeed started to fall.Sometimes she would like to go back to the capital to find Ning Yi immediately and ask, "Did we succeed? How many people died? Is it less than [-]?" But she knew that no matter whether it was the case or not, in her heart, It is difficult to calm down, the government's grain reserves are constantly decreasing, and the porridge is getting thinner and thinner.Some places may be more troublesome than they are here.

She sometimes remembered that when so many people died, it was just to let those big families earn a little less.So many people have died, but every one of them is still making money.So many people, working so hard, who has defeated...

In the capital, Ning Yi didn't know whether he could achieve the expected goal.In fact, after the heavy snow began to fall, the efficiency of information from various places has also begun to stagnate.Everything is pinned on the original plan, and officials have been arranged in various places. As for Beijing, they can only try their best to maintain the overall situation.

And with the death of Lin Chiting, this overall situation has not been maintained perfectly.

Time, it is about to enter the end of December, and New Year's Eve will arrive in ten days.Every household in the capital was decorated with lanterns, and places such as the Ning family and the prime minister's mansion were no exception. Even though the men of each family were working hard to maintain the disaster relief event, in each family, the year still had to pass.Ji Kun had returned to the prime minister's residence at this time, Yao Zunian had returned to his home, and monk Jue Ming was still running around.Ning Yi came to the prime minister's mansion every day, counted the numbers with everyone, and dealt with many other things that needed to be dealt with.After dinner that night, everyone did not go home. They were still discussing some matters related to disaster relief. Regarding the matter that Huainan still has a batch of food that can be misappropriated, they discussed the legitimacy of the process with a group of staff.

It was not late at night, candles were lit in the study, Qin Siyuan carried his hands on his back, and talked to Ning Yi, Ji Kun, Wen Renbuer and others about political allusions, a name that could be used.His beard and hair are white, but his eyes are clear, his spirit is good, and his speech is quite humorous.During this period, Mrs. Qin came in to see him once, and brought a set of refreshments to everyone.After she went out, Qin Siyuan continued to tell the story, and a subordinate trotted in with a piece of information: "Sir."

Qin Siyuan took it and looked at it.

The information was only half the size of a piece of paper. Qin Siyuan read it once, frowned and read it again.He stood there, looked to the side of the study, and blinked, but there was some confusion in his eyes.After a while, he stretched out the note. Ji Kun and the others were about to reach out to pick it up. Qin Siyuan kept the gesture of extending his hand, and sat down on the chair behind, grabbing the back of the chair with one hand, his veins bursting out.He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he only said two words: "Zhang Jue..."

Wen Ren Bu'er rushed out of the room: "Someone! Call Doctor Xu! Hurry up!"

Ji Kun rushed over, pinching Qin Siyuan's pulse with one hand, and trying to pinch Qin Siyuan with the other.Ning Yi went over and said, "Relax, relax, Qin Xiang, relax, everything is up to us... Relax, no matter what, we can definitely do it, take a deep breath, come, follow me, breathe... breathe..."

While speaking, he took the piece of paper in Qin Siyuan's hand and looked at it again. He held the paper in his hand, but suddenly squeezed it tightly, his lips moved, and he didn't say anything, only gritted his teeth and said, "Breathe...breath. …”

Doctor Xu in the prime minister's residence almost rushed over, glanced at Qin Siyuan, and said, "Go out." He took out a silver needle and pierced it.Ji Kun took two steps back. Ning Yi pulled him out of the door and handed the note to him. Ji Kun looked at it, and Wenren Buer had already come over.

No one spoke because that would disturb the people in the room.

From October to November, outside Yanmen Pass, Zhang Jue and Wanyan Jammu fought three battles. The first two battles were lost, but the third battle turned defeat into victory and defeated Wanyan Jammu's army.After that, the Jinren replaced Aguda's second son Wanyan Zongwang to lead the army and defeated Zhang Jue outside Nanjing.Wanyan Zongwang was one of the strongest generals in the Jin army at this time, Zhang Jue knew that he was invincible, and led his army south to retreat into Yanjing.At this time, guarding Yanjing were Guo Yaoshi and Xuanfu Wang Anzhong of the Changsheng Army.Wanyan Zongwang led the army south, and it was not easy to attack the city in winter. Guo Yaoshi fought to defend the city, but he did not know that Wang Anzhong had received a secret order from the capital at this time.

Wang Anzhong hid Zhang Jue, and when Wanyan Zong asked for it, he only said that there was no such person.Wanyan Zong wanted to be more urgent, saying that if the Wu Dynasty did not surrender Zhang Jue, they would start a war with the Wu Dynasty. Only then did Wang Anzhong find a substitute who looked like Zhang Jue and killed him, sending his head away.However, there are people in Jin who know Zhang Jue, and it can be seen that it is not Zhang Jue's head.Under repeated pressure, Wang Anzhong finally brought Zhang Jue out, scolded Zhang Jue for his crimes, accused him of ignoring the border provocation between Wu Chao and Jin Ren, Zhang Jue scolded Wu Chao for being intolerant, Wang Anzhong then killed Zhang Jue, Give the head to Wanyan Zongwang.

The golden man finally retreated.

The lights to welcome the new year are hanging high, and the city of Bianliang is still prosperous, only the winter night wind is whimpering and getting colder, and the people in the courtyard walk aside, silent and not speaking.Not long after, Ning Yi went outside the courtyard and threw a punch at a big tree. With a bang, the tree swayed and the bark split open.

In the winter of the 11th year of Jinghan in the Wu Dynasty, many people worked hard to achieve certain things, and finally, many people worked hard to complete a perfect backstab for this country...
