Chapter 702: The People Have No Food
Li Huiyi has been in a high position for a long time, and he has become a nameless coercion all over his body, and he is usually angry, even those generals tremble, not to mention this ordinary people.
The man fell to the ground in fright, and explained in a panic: "The general misunderstood, we are really the people, but there is no food at home, so I want to join the army and beg for food." ”
Let's just say it, what kind of king is full of domineering, and the people of the world follow it, and it is all good.
The people have no food, as a ruler, but in this big fish and meat, Li Huiyi's face changed slightly, and he said gently: "Don't be afraid, folks, it is the general who has wronged you......"
After calming the frightened people, Li Huiyi asked: "In this city, it's not the Zhen family and the Shen family's rice shop, why don't they have any grain to sell?" ”
The man replied: "The general doesn't know that the rice shops of the Zhen and Shen families have been closed as early as the year after the year, and almost all the shops in the city have been closed. ”
"Oh?" Li Huiyi suddenly realized, thought for a while and asked, "Is there people from the Zhen and Shen families living in the city?" ”
The man replied, "Yes, their keepers live in the city, and they are not far apart." ”
Li Huiyi nodded and said, "Okay, then can there be fellow villagers to help lead the way, I would like to meet them." ”
Hearing that Li Huiyi was going to see the people of the two families, these people were overjoyed and hurriedly expressed their willingness to lead the way.
After this incident, Li Huiyi was not in the mood to drink, so he waited for an hour until the two families arrived.
Maybe Li Huiyi was already in a hurry, so he didn't hold back the rest of the people, and asked directly: "Ben will ask you, why are the troops all in the city, and you still haven't opened for business?" ”
The shopkeepers of the Zhen and Shen families glanced at each other and knelt down to answer.
"General, all the items in the Zhen family's shop have been taken away by Cao Jun as early as half a year ago, saying that they are under centralized management, and when the war is over, they will be returned."
"General, so is the Shen family, so I have nothing to sell now."
It turned out that this was the reason, Li Huiyi frowned, and asked, "Since this is the case, why didn't you report it earlier?" ”
The shopkeeper of the Zhen family replied: "I and the others were frivolous, and I was afraid that we would not see the general, so I didn't come." ”
This idea is also normal, and it is really difficult for an ordinary businessman to meet the ruler.
Hearing the explanation, Li Huiyi did not continue to ask questions, but glanced at the people beside him and asked the soldiers to take them out.
And promised that tomorrow there would be shops open for sale of some daily necessities, and at the same time told the soldiers to give them some food.
Seeing that Li Huiyi was so gentle and benevolent, the people were moved to bow down and thank him, and then left with the soldiers.
The people have no food to live, fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise the consequences would be very serious, Li Huiyi made this mistake, not because he was carried away by the victory, but because he was too confident in the Shen and Zhen families, thinking that they would have a way to stabilize the people's livelihood.
At this time, knowing the reason, it is natural to make good arrangements, Li Huiyi said: "Since you have nothing to sell, I will give the grain in the general to Yu Er and others, and open it tomorrow and sell it at the normal price of rice to ensure that the people have the ability to buy." ”
The shopkeeper of the Shen family opened his mouth and said: "General, even if it is sold at the normal price of rice, the people will not be able to buy it, unless it is sold cheaply, or it is offset by work. ”
These ordinary people, who have no extra money at home, have long ago exchanged food from the family at a high price, and now it can be said that they are innocent.
Li Huiyi's eyes rolled slightly, and he said slowly: "Shen's money village, can't you pull out the money and lend it to the people?" ”
The shopkeeper of the Shen family replied: "General, the shop was suddenly seized by Cao Jun before, and I was afraid that it would become more and more intense, so all the funds have been secretly transferred. ”
Without money, Li Huiyi was also in a dilemma for a while, if this is free grain, but a large amount of money, it will also make some people develop dependence, or let them be self-reliant.
Li Huiyi suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "In this way, you will open normally tomorrow, and the people will come to exchange for grain with paper stamped with the seal of the general, and there are bucket liters on it, and you can sell it according to the ticket." ”
Anyway, it's all Li Huiyi's, and there is no objection to what he says and how the two of them do it.
However, in order not to make a mistake, the shopkeeper of the Zhen family asked: "General, we have never seen the real thing, in case someone makes a fake, I am afraid I will not be able to distinguish it." ”
Hearing this, Li Huiyi asked the soldiers to take the seal, and for the sake of conservatism, he also used a dagger to engrave the character Li on it, and deliberately made a faint mark.
After finishing it, Li Huiyi covered the two on the spot, pointed out the marks he made, and asked the two of them to keep them in mind, and collect the tickets tomorrow.
Li Huiyi's arrangement was foolproof, and the two of them had no worries, and after accepting it, they went with the soldiers to receive food.
After the two left, Li Huiyi ordered someone to find Xiao Wang, personally wrote down the vouchers of different numbers such as buckets, liters, and stones on the spot, and stamped the seal for him to go back and make it in large quantities.
At the same time, he told him to distribute it at the gate of the government early tomorrow morning, register the collection, and tell him some matters such as returning it in the future, so that he could tell the people truthfully.
Li Huiyi's method is very simple, that is, the issuance of this kind of bill is equivalent to lending grain to the people, but there is a certain interest, but it is very low, and it can be regarded as a disguised relief.
As for the ability of the people to repay the land, it doesn't matter, Li Huiyi gave three years, and allocated a certain amount of wasteland to these registered people according to their heads, so that they can open up the wasteland by themselves, believing that when the harvest is next year, they should be able to be self-sufficient, and the only difficulty is now.
Xiao Wang is now in logistics, and he is a big and small manager, and Li Huiyi has repaid his life-saving grace.
Xiao Wang kept all this in mind, and after he went back, he urgently summoned people and began to imitate them quickly and in large quantities.
Eyes returned to Li Huiyi, arranged these, the wine was gone, and naturally the wine banquet could not continue, and was replaced by a place for discussion.
Li Huiyi's method is indeed very good, but it is a long-term solution, and it is still not solved at the moment, because relying on invoice relief alone, the expenditure will be quite large.
At this time, Guo Jia admonished: "General, there are tens of thousands of people in the city of Mu alone, so the subsequent occupation of the city, presumably the situation is not much different, I am afraid there must be a foolproof strategy." ”
"Jia believes that we should find other livelihoods for them, and try to make them receive less relief, such as hunting and breeding."
"Yes." Li Huiyi doesn't know it, but if you have something, you don't just hunt, you can raise it if you breed it.
After thinking for a while, Li Huiyi said: "Hey, this can't work, there must be big families in the city who buy some livestock from them, and then buy them to the people and let them breed and breed." ”
