Now, Li Jiancheng's words follow the law and will be written into the daily life record as the law of the ancestors and will never be changed.

Even so, there are still loopholes to exploit.However, Menxia Province can refute the imperial decree of the emperor, and will not be punished for his words, so that it can be greatly avoided, because of the emperor's personal reasons, he will make random plans that will harm the country and the people.

Unless, the whole court is full of traitors, and the whole court is full of jesters.

However, when that time really came, Datang was about to perish, and the gods could not be saved.

Li Jiancheng looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "In this way, isn't the imperial court going to make enemies of the world's families?"

Fang Xuanling said indifferently: "Guanzhong has nearly [-]% of the country's population, which one is more important, do you still need to distinguish?"

Li Jiancheng pondered silently: "Xiao Xiangguo and Feng Xiangguo talk about the rule of Wenjing the most, Huang Lao's inaction, light corvee, and recuperation. They actually mentioned better troops and simpler administration, but the Turkic side has serious troubles. The last one is just to say .”

Fang Xuanling said without hesitation: "In the long run, there is no problem with the strategies of the two ministers, but these methods will not help the current difficulties. The problem now is not how to let the court let go and let the people of the local counties recuperate. It's about how to work together to help and relieve disasters."

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "Chen Ying and Wei Zheng proposed to return to the equalization method and the Pinghuai policy to mobilize the resources of the whole country to solve the famine in Guanzhong. They also proposed to streamline the army and streamline the administration, and cut down [-]% of the army and officials, which will save money. The food supplies that come out are used for disaster relief."

Fang Xuanling said: "How many people can be rescued?"

Li Jiancheng shook his head and sighed: "It's far from enough. If it's spread to every commoner, it's only a month."

Fang Xuanling said: "What about in one month? Your Majesty, Guanzhong this year is doomed to fail. That is to say, before next autumn, the millions of people in Guanzhong will have to rely on the imperial court for relief. Now there is still one year before next autumn." Years and three months."

Li Jiancheng spread his hands and said, "Okay, the problem is here, you can come up with countermeasures!"

Fang Xuanling said indifferently: "The method, in fact, the two ministers and Chen and Wei have already mentioned it. I will add another one, open the four gates in Guanzhong, and let the people in Guanzhong go out to beg for food."

Li Jiancheng immediately sat up straight, glared at Fang Xuanling and said, "You..."

Fang Xuanling took the time to look at Li Jiancheng and said, "However, the minister's elite troops and streamlined administration are different from theirs."

Li Jiancheng was taken aback, and asked suspiciously, "How is it different?"

Fang Xuanling said: "It's true that I have a better army and simpler administration."

Li Jiancheng laughed back angrily, "Then tell me, you really have better troops and simpler administration."

Fang Xuanling sighed and said, "It's impossible not to reduce it. Your Majesty, there are more than four million people, soldiers and civilians in Guanzhong. Calculated on the basis of three catties of grain per day, these four million people will survive until next year's autumn harvest. On average, one person will need at least Fourteen shi and four buckets of grain can tide over difficulties. Four million people need 400 million shi of grain.”

Li Jiancheng was silent, and he suddenly remembered why Chen Ying proposed to move the people in the Guanzhong out of the Guanzhong when he clearly had food in his hand, just a step away from the pass.

Because it requires a huge transportation force.

There are no less than [-] vehicles that can be used in Guanzhong, but only about [-] of them are four-wheeled carriages, and more than [-]% of them are two-wheeled carriages.

[-] horse-drawn carriages seem to be a lot, but the transportation capacity is really limited, because all [-] horse-drawn carriages can barely transport a million shi of grain.

There are more than 5000 million shi of grain, and it is said that Li Jiancheng does not have it, and even Chen Ying does not have it.

Instead of letting the 400 million mouths in Guanzhong sit and wait to die in Guanzhong, it would be better to move the people out.

Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Ying and said, "Chen Ying, how many people do you think the Western Regions can accept?"

Chen Ying said without hesitation: "The Western Regions have no less than 5000 million acres of arable land. Even if all the 400 million people in Guanzhong are moved out of the Western Regions, there will be no pressure. However, the people in Guanzhong cannot all move out!"

Chen Ying walked to Li Jiancheng's desk and picked up a pen from the desk.

Li Jiancheng subconsciously poured water and ink for Chen Ying.

Chen Ying drew a map of the Guannei Road area on the huge map and said: "Wuanzhou and Gyeongju are also suffering from drought, but they can barely halve the harvest, so that there will be no crop failure. The common people and the official warehouse can guarantee the balance. The minister plans to set up a grain station every [-] miles along the Yuanqing Road, with a grain storage of [-] shi, and the grain storage in Lingzhou, Fengzhou, and Yanzhou should be able to support them and support them to Lingzhou!"

Li Jiancheng nodded.

It takes about five days for Lingzhou to transport the grain to Yuanzhou, and it will consume about seven buckets of grain in five days.The closer to Lingzhou, the smaller the loss.

Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, you can move [-] households to Lingzhou first."

Li Jiancheng nodded.

Thirty thousand households with a population of 12 can save more than 100 million shi of grain for Guanzhong.

Wei Zheng stepped forward, pointed to the map and said, "Your Majesty, not only can people move to Lingzhou, but they can also move west to Hedong and Henan provinces!"

Li Jiancheng nodded.

After the ravages of Wang Shichong and Zhu Jie in Henan Mansion, Henan Mansion, which originally had a population of more than 500 million during the Daye period, only had less than one million people left.

Of course, Henan Province is not the Henan Province of later generations. In later generations, Henan Province has a population of over 500 million, but at this time, an additional three to five million people can actually be fully supported.

The most important thing is that because of the Sanmenxia, ​​large-scale fleets cannot cross, so there is no basis for water freight.

At this time, if you want to pass through Sanmenxia, ​​the probability of an accident with the space shuttle of later generations is similar, but it is different in Luoyang. No matter Hebei or Jianghuai rice grains can be transported to Luoyang through the Grand Canal.

If there are 400 million hungry people in Luoyang, it is really not a problem for the Tang court.

Four million people can eat more than 400 million shi of grain in one year and two months, and even if the supply is halved, more than 5000 million shi will be needed.

The transportation of more than 2000 million shi is very troublesome for vehicles, but for water transportation, it is simply not worth mentioning.

In particular, the course of the Yellow River is completely navigable by the largest 2000 shi ship in this era. One can transport [-] shi of grain, and more than [-] million shi of grain, but it is only a matter of a few thousand large ships.

Referring to the issue of people migrating abroad, Li Jiancheng looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "Then you can talk about your better troops and simpler administration now!"

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "Yes!"

Chapter 14 Days of Anger and Resentment

Chapter 14 Days of Anger and Resentment

Fang Xuanling seemed to have been prepared, and took out a memorial from his bosom.

Li Jiancheng took it, and after a quick look, his expression changed drastically.

Fang Xuanling wrote a lot of words on the memorial, densely packed, all of them were small script, Chen Ying roughly estimated that there were no less than ten thousand words.

Of course, Wanyan is nothing in later generations, and there are too many books with tens of millions of words. The key is that at this time, the general memorials are dozens or hundreds of words, and the extraordinary ones are full of hundreds of words.

Even if it is a great work for worshiping heaven, it is only three to five thousand words, but it is all big and empty nonsense.

Li Jiancheng did not show the memorial in his hand to Chen Ying, and Chen Ying was happy and quiet.

After all, Chen Ying's goal has been achieved.

Li Jiancheng agreed to relocate [-] households to Lingzhou, [-] households to the Western Regions, [-] households to Henan, and [-] households to Hedong.

This time, due to the food crisis in Guanzhong, a total of 26 households moved out, accounting for about a quarter of the population in Guanzhong.In other words, at least millions of stones of grain can be saved to Guanzhong.
