Chapter 13 Unparalleled Land Fang Xuan Ling

Li Jiancheng looked at the ministers and said, "Is there any way to solve the food crisis now?" ”

Wei Zheng naturally knew Li Jiancheng and Chen Ying's plan, of course he didn't break it, but shook his head and said: "The difficulty of the grain shortage in Guanzhong is just the beginning, this year has missed the agricultural time, and now there are no less than 400,000 hungry people in Guanzhong, this number, with the passage of time, will gradually increase!" ”

Li Jiancheng patted the guest head and said, "Is it really necessary to disband half of the army?" ”

Wei Zheng said with a wry smile on his face: "As far as the granary in the palace, there is not much grain left. ”

At this moment, Wei Ting said: "Unless Your Majesty issues an edict to forcibly expropriate the family's grain." ”

Wei Zheng did not have a good impression of the Guanzhong clan, but as a provincial servant of the Tang Dynasty, Wei Zheng knew that if he forcibly collected the grain of the Guanzhong clan, he would inevitably push the Guanzhong clan to the opposite side.

Wei Zheng shook his head and said, "If this is the case, the imperial court will definitely ...... The world is in chaos.

Chen Shuda sighed and said: "Not only to save His Majesty's face, but also to solve the grain shortage in Guanzhong, and not to offend the Guanzhong family, how can there be such a perfect strategy?" ”

Chen Ying stood in the hall and did not speak. He became a wooden man, anyway, Li Jiancheng didn't ask him, and he wouldn't say that Chen Ying wanted to see how far Li Jiancheng could go.

At this moment, Li Jiancheng heard a grunting sound from Chen Shuda's abdomen.

Li Jiancheng waved his hand and said, "Notify the imperial dining room and prepare a meal!" ”

It didn't take long for the palace to enter the palace with food and fish. On the small table in front of the ministers, there were two sheets of bread and a green vegetable soup.

Chen Ying looked at the vegetable soup very familiarly, and it was actually the kelp he got from Zhang Zhongjian. Chen Ying is a general, leading troops all the year round, and when he really fights, as the commander, let alone eat, he has no chance to drink hot soup.

Chen Ying also felt hungry at this time, so he broke the dough cake and put it in the kelp soup, which was also made from the old soup of stewed mutton, which had a thick flavor.

Chen Ying ate with relish.

The other ministers, however, chewed wax.

Seeing the ministers eating the bread like a yellow lotus, Chen Ying was very happy in his heart.

……

Fang Xuanling came to Menxia Province with a relaxed face, and at this time, all the colleagues in Menxia Province avoided Fang Xuanling one after another, and even did not hesitate to take a detour.

Fang Xuanling walked to his public case as if no one was around, looking at the clean case, Fang Xuanling coughed and said, "Has the edict from Zhongmen Province arrived?" ”

A small official stubbornly held the edict sent by Zhongmen Province and handed it to Fang Xuanling's case.

Several officials were on the sidelines, whispering.

The provincial Lang Zhong of the door said with a cheap smile: "Fang Xuanling's guts are really fat......"

A small official chimed in: "Who said it wasn't, he dared to come back!" ”

An official gloated: "What crazy! ”

The provincial man smiled coldly: "This madman, offended His Majesty, offended Chen Linggong, and offended Feng Xiangguo, I think it will be time to get out of the house in less than two days......"

Outside, the voice of the husband telling the time.

The officials got up and packed their belongings.

Fang Xuanling also got up slowly.

An attendant walked in quickly and shouted at everyone in the lobby and asked, "Where is Fang Xuanling?" Fang Xuanling was stunned and said hesitantly: "The minister is here."

The waiter said with a smile: "Your Majesty announced that you are here, and the house will give you something, so follow our family!" ”

……

When Fang Xuanling arrived at the Xiande Palace, Li Jiancheng looked at Fang Xuanling with some embarrassment, and he used a cough to hide his embarrassment.

Fang Xuanling stood opposite Li Jiancheng unimpressedly.

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, what do you command?" ”

Li Jiancheng muttered: "The matter of yesterday's edict is due to my improper consideration.

Fang Xuanling said "um".

Li Jiancheng took a deep breath and said, "I was wrong, I apologize to you!" ”

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said with a faint smile: "Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, the minister will retire."

The evil fire in Li Jiancheng's heart rushed to his head, he stood up angrily, stretched out his hand and pointed at Fang Xuanling and shouted: "Fang Xuanling, you know what the people in Guanzhong are, why don't you confess to me, why do you use the means of refuting Tugui to make me lose face?" ”

Fang Xuanling was not afraid, looked directly at Li Jiancheng's gaze, and said with a cold smile: "Is Li Shu in Guanzhong important, or is Your Majesty's face important?" ”

Li Jiancheng was stunned and speechless.

Fang Xuanling said with a faint expression: "I was just about to ask Your Majesty, why don't you let the people of Guanzhong go out of the customs to beg?" ”

Li Jiancheng period Ai Ai said: "In this way, what kind of face does the imperial court have to face the people of the world?" ”

Fang Xuanling Huo's face sank, and he asked loudly: "The face of the imperial court is more important than Li Shu's life?" Three generations of holy monarchs, Yao Shunyu Tang, did this? ”

Li Jiancheng pointed at Fang Xuanling, but he couldn't find an explanation.

Seeing Fang Xuanling forcing Li Jiancheng, the general of the Standing Palace, and the Golden Melon Warriors all appeared in the main hall, as long as Li Jiancheng gave an order, they would take Fang Xuanling down.

Chen Ying smashed his mouth, got up slowly, and stretched out his hand to signal the Standing Hall General and the Golden Melon Warrior to retreat.

At this time, whether it was the general of the station hall in the Xiande Palace, or the golden gourd warriors, they were all Li Jiancheng's henchmen and descendants, of course, these soldiers were all the old departments when Chen Ying was in charge of the left and right guards of the East Palace and the left and right divisions.

Seeing Chen Ying's gesture, these standing hall generals and golden gourd warriors who had just appeared retreated one after another.

Fang Xuanling approached within ten steps of Li Jiancheng, and shouted coldly: "The gate of Tongguan is closed, and the gate is hungry for thousands of miles, Your Majesty and the imperial court, will you have face?" ”

Li Jiancheng angrily slapped the royal case and said, "Presumptuous! ”

Chen Shuda and Feng Lun yelled: "Fang Xuanling, you are so bold! ”

Li Jiancheng looked at Fang Xuanling and gritted his teeth and said, "What else are you doing besides standing here talking and sneering, and what problems can you solve?" ”

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Jiancheng coldly and said, "Of course I have a way!" ”

Li Jiancheng's eyes flashed with a smug look, and Wei Zheng recommended Fang Xuanling to Li Jiancheng, saying that Fang Xuanling was talented and could be called a national scholar. Chen Ying called him a peerless national warrior, with the ambition of the world in his mind, and the strategy of helping the people, Li Shimin could not use it, so he was defeated; If Your Majesty can use it, the world will be ruled and the four seas will be Chang'an, and it can be expected!

You must know that looking at the entire history, how many people are called worthy of the country? Guan Zhong assisted Duke Huan of Qi to obtain the first hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period, established a series of effective systems, and laid the strong national strength of Qi for centuries. Moreover, Duke Qi Huan is actually not a particularly wise monarch, which reflects Guan Zhong's ability even more.

Fan Li assisted the Yue Wang Goujian to lie down and taste the courage, and finally overturned the sworn enemy Wu State and successfully dominated it, Le Yi assisted the Yan State to make the small country counterattack, successfully overturned the Qi State, occupied more than 70 cities and almost destroyed the country. Lin Xiangru's tongue and neck hardness, it is estimated that there are few Wenchen who can compare with him throughout the ages.

Xinling Jun Wei Wuji: The Four Gentlemen of the Warring States Period, personality and merits, should be headed by Xinling Jun. The armies of the Six Kingdoms, which were like a rabble, defeated the Qin army that had opened the hanging.

Shang Ying, Wu Qi, Sun Bin, Liu Bangde, Han Xin created the Han Dynasty for 400 years, and Liu Bei got Zhuge Liang and stood on his feet.

Seeing that Fang Xuanling fell for Li Jiancheng's radical method, Li Jiancheng was very proud in his heart.

Li Jiancheng's face was still warm and angry: "Who wouldn't talk big?"

Fang Xuanling said solemnly: "The gentleman said, the horse is difficult to chase, since the minister said that there is a way, there must be a solution." But ......"

Fang Xuanling eased his emotions, looked at Li Jiancheng, and said provocatively: "If you want the minister to solve the scourge of famine in Guanzhong, Your Majesty, you must promise one thing."

Li Jiancheng said arrogantly: "It's okay to talk about one thing, ten things." ”

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, "Just one thing!"

Li Jiancheng was stunned, stared at Fang Xuanling and said: "From now on, the right of the ministry to refute the position in the matter must be recognized and guaranteed. ”

Li Jiancheng said with wide eyes: "If there is a day in the Tang Dynasty, there will be no one who will be convicted of refuting the edict of Tugui. ”

Hearing this, Chen Ying was stunned.

Sure enough, Fang Xuanling did not disappoint him.

Fang Xuanling hoped that Li Jiancheng would not interfere with the right of his subordinates to refute the matter, just so that he could limit the imperial power. In order for a holy decree to have legal effect, it must be jointly signed by the Zhongshu and the Ministry of Menxia, so that it can have real legal effect.

Now, Li Jiancheng has to be written into the living record, as the law of the ancestors, and it will never be changed.

Even so, there are still leaks to drill. However, the province can refute the emperor's decree and will not be punished for his words, so that it can be greatly avoided because of the emperor's personal reasons, and the policy of causing disaster to the country and the people can be avoided.

Unless, the Manchu Dynasty is all traitors, and the Manchu Dynasty is all courtiers.

However, at that time, the Tang Dynasty will perish, and the immortals will be difficult to save.

Li Jiancheng looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "In this way, wouldn't the imperial court be the enemy of the world's clans?" ”

Fang Xuanling said lightly: "There are nearly thirty percent of the country's population in Guanzhong, which is more important, do you still need to distinguish between them?" ”

Li Jiancheng pondered silently: "Xiao Xiangguo, Feng Xiangguo, what they talk about the most is the rule of Wenjing, Huang Lao's inaction, light conscription, and recuperation. ”

Fang Xuanling said without thinking: "In the long run, there is no problem with the strategy of the two ministers, but these methods will not help the current difficulties. The question now is not how the imperial court will let go and let the people of the local counties and counties recuperate, but how to work together to help and relieve the disaster. ”

Li Jiancheng nodded and said: "Chen Ying and Wei Zheng propose to regain the equalization method, as well as the Pinghuai policy, and mobilize the resources of the whole country to solve the hunger in Guanzhong. They also proposed that the army should be streamlined, 20 percent of the army and officials should be eliminated, and the food and materials saved should be used for disaster relief. ”

Fang Xuanling said: "How many people can be saved?" ”

Li Jiancheng shook his head and sighed: "It's far from enough, if it is spread to everyone, it will only be a month." ”

Fang Xuanling said: "What about a month later? Your Majesty, this year's Guanzhong is destined to have no harvest, that is to say, by next autumn, these millions of Guanzhong people will have to rely on the imperial court for relief. Now next fall, there are still one year and three months left. ”

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

Fang Xuanling said lightly: "Method, in fact, the two Xianggong, Chen and Wei Erjun have all said it. The minister added another one, opened the four passes in Guanzhong, released the people in Guanzhong, and went out to beg for food. ”

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

Fang Xuanling looked at Li Jiancheng and said, "However, the minister's elite soldiers are different from theirs. ”

Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "How is it different?" ”

Fang Xuanling said: "The minister's elite soldiers and simple administration are true. ”

Li Jiancheng laughed angrily: "Then let's talk about it, you are really a crack soldier." ”

Fang Xuanling sighed and said: "No, your majesty, there are more than four million people, soldiers and civilians in the pass, according to the calculation of three catties of grain per day, these four million people will survive until next year's autumn harvest, and an average person needs at least fourteen stones and four buckets of grain, and they can survive the difficulties." Four million people need 57,600,000 stone of grain. ”

Li Jiancheng was silent, and he suddenly remembered why Chen Ying proposed that he had grain in his hands, just a step away from the Guanzhong, why he still had to move the people out of the Guanzhong.

Because of the need for a huge transport force.

There are no less than 100,000 vehicles that can be used in Guanzhong, but there are only about 30,000 four-wheeled carriages, of which more than seventy percent are two-wheeled carriages.

100,000 horse-drawn carriages seem to be a lot, but this transportation capacity is really limited, because all the 100,000 horse-drawn carriages are used, which can barely transport millions of stone of grain.

More than 50 million stone grains, it is said that Li Jiancheng does not have it, and even Chen Ying does not have it.

Yu Qi let the four million mouths in Guanzhong sit and eat and wait for death in Guanzhong, it is really better to move the people out.

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

Chen Ying said without hesitation: "The Western Regions have no less than 50 million acres of cultivated land, even if all the four million people in Guanzhong move out of the Western Regions, there must be no pressure, but naturally, the people of Guanzhong can't all move out!" ”

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

Li Jiancheng subconsciously added water and ink to Chen Ying.

On a huge map, Chen Ying drew a map of the area of Kannai-do Province and said: "Wonju and Gyeongju also suffered from drought, but they could barely halve the harvest and not lose the harvest. The people and the official warehouse can ensure that they are equal, and the minister plans to set up a grain station along the Yuanqing Road for every fifty miles of isolation, and store 30,000 stones of grain, with the grain storage of Lingzhou, Fengzhou, and Yanzhou, it should be able to help them and support them to Lingzhou! ”

Li Jiancheng nodded.

It takes about five days for Lingzhou to transport grain to Yuanzhou, and about seven buckets of grain will be consumed in five days with one car. The closer you get to Lingzhou, the smaller the loss will be.

Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, you can move out of 30,000 households to Lingzhou first. ”

Li Jiancheng nodded.

30,000 households with a population of 120,000 can save more than 1 million stone of grain for Guanzhong.

Wei Zheng stepped forward and pointed to Yutu and said: "Your Majesty, you can not only move the population to Lingzhou, but also move to the west to Hedong and Henan Mansion!" ”

Li Jiancheng nodded.

After the ravages of Wang Shichong and Zhu Wei, Henan Mansion, which originally had a population of more than 5 million during the Great Cause years, has less than one million people left.

Of course, Henan Province is not the Henan Province of the later generations, and the population of Henan Province in the later generations exceeded 100 million, but at this time, another three or five million people can actually be completely fed.

The most important thing is that because of Sanmenxia, a large fleet of ships cannot cross, so there is no water freight base.

At this time, if you want to pass through Sanmenxia, it is about the same as the probability of an accident with the space shuttle in later generations, but it is different in Luoyang, whether it is Hebei, or Jianghuai's rice and grain, can be transported to Luoyang through the Grand Canal.

If there were four million hungry people in Luoyang, it would not be a problem for the Tang Dynasty.

Four million people can eat more than 50 million stone of grain in one year and two months, and even if the supply is halved, more than 20 million stone will be needed.

More than 20 million stones are very troublesome for vehicles to transport, but for water transportation, simple is not worth mentioning.

In particular, the Yellow River is completely navigable with the largest 30,000 stone ships in this era, and one can transport 30,000 stone grain and more than 20 million stone grain, but it is just a matter of several thousand large ships.

Referring to the issue of the people who migrated out, Li Jiancheng looked at Fang Xuanling and said, "Then you can talk about your elite soldiers now!" ”

Fang Xuanling nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
