Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Several people bid farewell to each other and left in two teams.

Changsun Chong and Cheng Chumo led the team to Bingzhou, while Du He, Qin Huaiyu and Yuchi Baolin set off for Langzhou.

After they left, more refugees appeared on the cement road and walked towards Liaozhou city with difficulty.

"The refugees are coming!"

"Close the city gate and notify Lord Inspector!"

The guard captain saw the refugees appearing from a distance.

He stood on the city wall and looked further, and saw the refugees from afar.

Under the rising sun, the refugees staggered like walking dead.

"Again, is the city gate closed again?"

"Is there no place willing to take us in?"

"God, what kind of world is this, what is this world?"

A middle-aged refugee walking in the front collapsed on the ground.

Looking at the slowly closing city gate, his eyes slowly lost their color.

Passing through so many places, the gates of the city are closed, and they are not willing to accept them.

They are hungry, they just want to have a bite to eat, they just want to survive, why is it so difficult?

More refugees approached, and more refugees noticed that the city gates were closed, and their hopes were dashed again.

They have been walking for several days, eating all they can eat along the way, and if they continue like this, they will only starve to death.

"Open the door, please open the door."

"We don't want to destroy, we just want to have something to eat, we can work."

Some refugees did not give up, and went to the gate of the city, begging and begging.

More refugees poured under the city gate, beating on the gate.

The more aggressive ones charged directly at the city gate.

There are also those who are downcast, their eyes are silent and they are about to leave.

In such a short period of time, hundreds of refugees have gathered at the gate of Liaozhou city.

"Master Inspector has orders, everyone listen carefully!"

suddenly.

Shouts rang out on the walls.

The refugees slowly calmed down and looked at the city wall.

After walking through so many cities, all they got was silence, and no one responded.

Suddenly a place responded to them, which made them seem to see a spark in their despair.

"Master Inspector has ordered that Liaozhou City provide food and shelter for all refugees!"

The guard captain said loudly.

The voice fell, but no one from the refugees made a sound.

After a while, there was a sound of excitement, and they wept with excitement.

"Listen to the order now, everyone back one mile!"

"If you don't listen, we in Liaozhou will not rescue you!"

The guard guard shouted again.

When the people heard this, they all obeyed.

Now that there is a chance to survive, what is this requirement?

Not long after, the refugees retreated one mile and looked at Liaozhou City eagerly.

After a while, with a bang, the closed door slowly opened again.

At the same time, five carts carrying gruel rolled out.

"Line up, line up in five lines!"

"Whoever makes trouble and doesn't follow the rules will not be given porridge."

Huang Da took care of this matter.

It is also the state official who is responsible for guarding the porridge.

Today is the first disaster relief, so be careful.

Under Huang Da's call, the refugees lined up in gratitude to Dade.

Although some people were so hungry that they couldn't help but wanted to rob them, the state officials wore weapons to frighten them.

"Father, shall we line up?"

In the distance, the boy Xiaobai watched this scene and asked the man beside him.

Their family was the part that wanted to leave just now, thinking that Liaozhou City would not accept them.

"Stay for a few days."

The man pondered for a moment, then touched the dry food in the bag.

There was not much dry food left. After walking for six or seven days, the family of four had enough to eat.

Let's stay here to eat a few meals to restore energy.

The man thought that the disaster relief in Liaozhou City was only for a few days.

Because they were the first to flee, they were not really the victims of the disaster.

There are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of disaster victims behind. Once they come, a small city like Liaozhou cannot be defended.

"okay."

Xiaobai didn't think too much about it.

He pulled his sister and walked quickly in the direction of the team.

From such a distance, they could smell the porridge.

......

The imperial study room.

Li Shimin is making a big fuss.

News from the states and counties annoyed him.

"Bastard, it's all doggy stuff!"

"Order that all states and counties must accept refugees!"

"Whoever doesn't listen, I will hold them accountable afterwards!"

Li Shimin growled.

Angrily kicked the desk away.

After discussing the plan with Du Ruhui and others, he ordered all states and counties to accept refugees.

But the order was issued, but no state or county followed the order to act.

Their reason is either that the water of the Yellow River may harm them, and they are also preparing to retreat now, which cannot be accepted.

Another reason is that the locust plague and drought have just been experienced, and now there is no food in the prefecture and county. Once those people are accepted, the people in the city will have great opinions.

In short, the reasons are very good.

But Li Shimin knew that they were just evading responsibility.

"Your Majesty, the top priority is to continue purchasing food from various places."

Du Ruhui is also here.

Seeing Li Shimin so furious, he sighed in his heart.

In fact, this situation is predictable. Nine out of ten states and counties will not obey orders.

From the very beginning of the meeting, Pei Ji wanted to pursue the responsibility, who would dare to intervene indiscriminately?

The influx of countless refugees will cause huge disasters locally, and it will also cause big problems for their management.

In this case, it is best to protect yourself wisely, and would rather not have this achievement than have an unknown crisis.

"The acquisition is being expedited."

"Those bastards are sitting on the ground and raising prices again!"

Li Shimin said angrily.

Every time there is a natural or man-made disaster, those aristocratic families who have a large amount of food will increase their prices, and this time is no exception.

Fortunately, the fine salt and tea invented by Fang Yuan earned him a lot of money, otherwise the treasury would be empty now, and he would not even think about disaster relief.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin thought of Fang Yuan in Liaozhou.

Liaozhou is also at the place where he gave his orders, so it is not known whether Fang Yuan followed his orders.

If you don't obey...

Li Shimin felt sad just thinking about it.

Fang Yuan is the virtuous minister of Ying Meng who solved the crisis of his own edict for himself.

Just at this time,

"Your Majesty, a letter from Miss Du!"

Eunuch Wang De came in from the outside.

This time, he didn't dare to neglect anything.

He brought the letter to Li Shimin the next moment he received it.

"Submit it quickly."

Li Shimin quickly took the letter.

Even opened the envelope a little nervously.

Hope is a good thing... Li Shimin thought so in his heart.

"Good, good, good!"

Li Shimin read the letter quickly, and was so excited that he said yes again and again.

"Your Majesty, what is the good thing?"

Du Ruhui suddenly asked curiously.

"Look!"

"Fang Yuan deserves to be my minister Ying Meng!"

Li Shimin happily handed the letter to Du Ruhui.

"hiss!!!"

"Comprehensive control policy, Fang Yuan is not worried about the opposition of those aristocratic families?!"

Du Ruhui finished reading, but he was more worried.

Disaster relief is a good thing, but such a comprehensive control is likely to cause dissatisfaction with the local family.

When it is more chaotic, the power of the family is also needed. Even if they jump around a little, it may cause a lot of shock and have a great impact on the local government.

"Keming, you think too much."

"Liaozhou is different from Chang'an City, the aristocratic families there have already been intimidated by Fang Yuan."

"If he dares to do this, he won't worry about the backlash from those aristocratic families. Don't worry."

Li Shimin looked deeper.
