Throughout late September, Shen Zhezi was busy seeing people off. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThere may not be too many wise people in this world who are sensitive to the situation, but it is human instinct to avoid risks. There is no shortage of people from the west to the east to publicize in the capital, and the Liyang Department practices martial arts day and night on the banks of the Hengjiang River, which inevitably makes the people in the capital even more panicked.

Not to mention Liyang's reputation, the record is real. In the early years, the chaos was quelled, and the battle was victorious, and the Wang army was almost overwhelmed. This is not an old thing, especially for the people of Gyeonggi, in the early years, there were many people who witnessed the confrontation between the two armies outside the Suzaku Truss, and they still remember the bravery of the Riyang Division.

These rumor-mongers can be seen to be inseparable from Liyang without asking, so Taichung also attaches great importance to this. The Su Guard Forbidden Army was scattered all over the inside and outside of Jiankang City, guarding the main water and land routes, but anyone who found suspicious people or spread such shocking remarks was taken into custody.

But what's the point, these rumor-mongers are not trained military spies, just a bunch of outcasts. Shen Zhezi once asked his family to arrest a rumor monger and ask him a little, which couldn't help but laugh at it, Liyang drove the displaced people to the east, but anyone who spread such remarks could get a few buckets of brown rice as rations.

Shen Zhezi is no stranger to the situation in Liyang. In the early years, Zhongshu gradually disintegrated the hearts of the people in Liyang through political pressure, which is not ingenious. The core of today's management and governance structure, regardless of the level or size, is much the same.

The source of power and strength of the subordinates does not depend entirely on the authority granted by the superiors, and they themselves control the almost independent subordinate army, and there is no particularly strong personal dependence relationship, so the jurisdiction of the superiors over the subordinates is not large, and whether they are loyal or not depends entirely on the moral quality of the individual.

Compared with the existence of righteousness and orthodoxy in the imperial court, the centrifugal force of the exile group is much stronger. Su Jun's subordinates are not so much subordinates as partners, huddling together to keep warm and start a business together. When hugging each other, instead of protecting their interests and gaining a sense of security, there is a strong sense of crisis, and their internal collapse is a matter of time.

And Liyang's counterattack can also be called fierce, the basis of its own existence is to be brave and good at fighting, when this beast is about to show its fangs, the opponent will be afraid no matter what. By inciting panic in the hearts of the people of Gyeonggi through a large number of displaced people, on the one hand, it can put pressure on Zhongshu, and on the other hand, if there is a real war in the coming days, the resistance will be much smaller.

Today, this trend of fleeing from disasters in Gyeonggi is still spreading, and at first families were fleeing, but as the situation became more and more serious, they are now migrating as clans.

Shen Zhezi has been out of the city a few times recently, and he has seen that Changganli, which was overcrowded earlier, has gradually become sparsely populated, and the entire market is filled with a sense of depression. The original thriving prosperity has been cut off, and now the only commodity that has risen sharply against the trend of many goods on the market is food. In the past, the doumi was still between dozens of dollars, but now it has soared to three hundred yuan, and it continues to rise.

In contrast to the depression of the city, the roads leading south and east were overcrowded, men, women, and children roaming the wilderness toward what they thought was safe.

According to Shen Zhezi's latest data, in just one sentence of one county, tens of thousands of displaced people have been accepted in this half month! This is no longer something that a county can bear, the county government is helpless about this, and the big clans in the county are even more vigilant about these displaced people, and from time to time they send their families and tribes to drive them away, and the atmosphere suddenly becomes tense, and it is almost about to cause a civil uprising.

In such a situation, even if Shen Zhezi wanted to stay out of the matter, it was impossible for him to instruct Qian Feng and others to organize the big clans in the county, and combine the power of the business alliance in the direction of Jingkou to quickly evacuate these displaced people. If they are allowed to stay near Gyeonggi, once the war breaks out and they are engulfed by the rebels, today's lamb will be tomorrow's wolf.

At this time, it is already a joke to think about the pros and cons of what the gains and losses are, so at this time, the manpower and material resources accumulated by the Shen family are almost invested regardless of the cost, so as to disperse the displaced people as much as possible, where to settle them is still a secondary issue, and the most important thing is not to let them gather in one place.

Fortunately, the Shen family began to prepare to deal with this situation from a very early stage, and a large number of displaced people from Jingkou moved south, which almost caused a labor shortage to a certain extent, and the capacity for displaced people was expanded. On the way to Wuzhong, because of the turnover of goods in the early years, the road has already been smoothed, and people can be evacuated quickly.

But the main thing in evacuating displaced people is not these, but the problem of food supply. Now Wuzhong is also preparing for war, and grain is also an extremely important strategic material. Even if there is a large amount of grain storage, it is impossible for Shen Zhezi to pay out of his own pocket. It's not a question of morality or not, it's now elevated to a political issue. If he really dared to do that, Zhongshu would probably wonder if the Shen family was going to rebel before Liyang.

However, if there is no food supply at all, these displaced people will naturally form many armed forces to prey on the way to survive on the way to live. Once this armed force is formed and penetrates into the Wuzhong area, it will also be a scourge.

The only way Shen Zhezi can think of now is to organize production and labor along the way. Migration is a fluid process, and it is naturally impossible to carry out production with a long cycle such as land reclamation and planting, so it is mainly to cut down, gather and so on. Nowadays, most of the mountains, forests, rivers and marshes are in the hands of the big families, and in order to carry out such work, it is necessary to have full communication with these local families.

In the past, the power of the business alliance alone may not be able to convince these great clans. And those scattered and unorganized homeless people are even less regarded by the big clans who are entrenched in the locality. But when the two are combined, they have an extremely powerful deterrent effect.

In order not to touch the heart of Zhongshu too much, Shen Zhezi mainly handed over this kind of affairs to Yu Tiao. With the financial resources of the business alliance and the manpower of the locust crossing the general homeless people, there is no door that cannot be opened along the way. Even the various branches of the Zhou clan that are quite incompatible with the Shen family Dongzong in Yixing still need to cooperate obediently and let go of their own sealed mountains for those displaced people to gather, hunt, cut down and other production.

At present, the most important thing is manpower, and these obtained raw materials can be directly sent to Wuzhong to be processed into products again and sold to Jingkou and other places. In this whole cycle, in fact, the benefits are not very large, but even if it is a loss, as long as it can accomplish several core purposes, it is still worth it. On the one hand, it avoids the noise of the homeless people, and on the other hand, to a certain extent, it also includes these people along the way into the framework of the business alliance.

The stubbornness of the family manor cannot be broken overnight. And if the existence of these manors is not dismantled, the simple deployment of personnel or military flattening is only a palliative measure, and it will make a comeback if it does not turn around. Although the business alliance is thriving now, it is actually limited to Wuzhong and Jingkou, and its influence is still minimal.

The splashing of a large amount of silver money today is actually to prevent the business alliance from being too deeply affected by the war in Japan and slumping. From the perspective of the growth of the Shang League, Shen Zhezi did not resist the destruction of the Gyeonggi and even Wuzhong countryside by Su Jun's rebellious army.

It may be a little inhumane to think so, after all, when the war is together, it is the innocent people who suffer the most. However, the growth of the Shang Alliance must be based on the liberation of the productive forces and production resources from the estates of the clans, and if you want to snatch these resources from the major families, you cannot completely hope for a peaceful transition, and the necessary military means are absolutely indispensable.

The battle of Liyang Su Jun is inevitable, and it is definitely not something that Shen Zhezi can stop. And what he can do is just hope that this war will not just consume Jiangdong's vitality, and that it will still be in place after the chaos, and it will be able to pave the way for the future situation, which is already the best result.

The food needed to evacuate the displaced people mainly came from Xuancheng. Xuancheng and western Zhejiang, as for the line of Jiangzhou, are now also the most important grain producing areas in Jiangdong, and the significance of Gyeonggi is stronger than that of Sanwu.

On the one hand, it is because the clan power of the southerners in this line is weak, which is convenient for the center to control, while the three Wu are intertwined, and with the rise of the Shang Alliance, the influence of the imperial court is more faintly excluded, and on the other hand, because the three Wu, especially Huiji, still have not fully tapped their potential. Although the scale of reclamation in Huiji has soared sharply in recent years, it has not yet reached the point of stable output.

Earlier, my father sent a letter to Shen Zhezi and said that due to the large northward transportation of grain from Wuxing and Wu County to fill the Jingkou market, the reserves have gradually decreased. The Huiji side reorganized its armaments for war, and even had to mobilize grain from several counties in Jiangzhou and Guangzhou in the south. However, this is not a big problem, after all, even if the war comes, the intensity of the fighting in the east of Gyeonggi is not strong, and it is almost certain that it will not spread to Huiji.

The reason why Xuancheng took grain was not entirely because of the lack of food in Wuzhong, but mainly to weaken the supply of the rebels. As for Xuancheng, it is an extremely important grain storage area, and when the rebels cross the Hengjiang River, this place is the first to bear the brunt, and it will be difficult to defend. Instead of storing these grains for the rebellious army, it is better to divert a part of them first, and you can also save Wuzhong's grain reserves.

However, what made Shen Zhezi feel helpless was that Shi Huanyi in Xuancheng was extremely sensitive to the outflow of grain, and he was only a warning earlier, but now he has mobilized the county soldiers to directly expel the Shen family's grain purchasing team by force. Although this cannot stop the outflow of grain, after all, all large households have abundant grain reserves, and there is a need to sell grain as the situation is tense, but the price is much higher.

Huan Yi is an important supporter of Yu Liang in the local area, although he is not as important as Jiangzhou, but as a party directly facing Liyang, his status is not unimportant. But to be honest, this public is lacking in ability, and it cannot be overly praised because of the martyrdom in history.

Ability is ability, discipline is discipline. The time he spent in Xuancheng was not short, and he was almost destined to guard against Liyang's mission at the beginning of his appointment, but there were not many efforts and even results for this mission. Judging from the Shen family's grain purchase alone, this duke's control over the local area is almost zero. To be honest, since he knows that his position is so important, but he can't do it early, he won't die!

On the first day of October, Du He, who had already served as a minister under Zhongshu, came to visit him at night, and opened his mouth and said: "During the day, Zhongshu has issued an edict, and the inner government has returned to the capital. ”
