Fufeng County.

At this time, there was a sea of people in front of the city gate of Fufeng County, but I saw those old and weak women and children holding sticks in one hand and broken bowls in the other, queuing up to receive food.

"Thank you."

"Thank you."

．

The tears of thanks made Li Qi feel uncomfortable, because this was owed to them by the court, but now it was as if it was given to them by the court.

In the past few years, accompanied by Ji Minren and Zhi Yanzhi, he began to travel around various county towns, and distributed those military rations to those disaster victims as disaster relief food, and then encouraged those people to go to the fields and farm immediately, so as not to delay this hard-won good season.

20,000 stone of grain sounds like a lot, enough for a family to eat for a few lifetimes, but if it is put in the current Fengxiang Mansion, it is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.

But this is the only thing Li Qi can do at the moment, and he is now waiting for the help of the capital.

After a while, Li Qi was really embarrassed to shout "Lord Qingtian" in the mouth of the people, and felt embarrassed, so he asked Ji Minren to take him around.

A group of people looked around, learned about the local situation, and came to a loess slope.

Li Qi stood on the slope, looked at the farmers who were working hard in the fields, nodded secretly, and sighed: "Trying to save yourself is the best way!" ”

Ji Minren shook his head and said: "It's good if you can save yourself, but natural disasters are beyond the reach of manpower. ”

Zhi Yan agreed: "What Governor Ji said is right. Bu Shuai, you didn't come last year, the people are hungry, let alone farming, they don't even have the strength to walk, if you want to save yourself, how easy is it! ”

Li Qi smiled slightly and said, "Natural disasters are terrible, but they are not so terrifying that they can only make people sit and wait for death. ”

Ji Minren sighed. Said: "Bu Shuai seems to have thought of a way to put an end to this phenomenon?" ”

"I'm not a god, how can I prevent natural disasters from happening." Li Qi shook his head and said, "But we can't sit still, we must take precautions." ”

Ji Minren said: "How do you say this? ”

Li Qi asked without answering: "Governor Ji, do you know anything about the new law recently promulgated by the imperial court?" ”

Ji Minren bowed his head and said, "I've heard a little." ”

"The new law promulgated by the imperial court this time is centered on the economy, that is, it wants to change the people's livelihood today." Li Qizheng said: "Take this famine as an example, your only way is to turn to the imperial court, and the only solution is the assistance of the imperial court, and there seems to be no second way." ”

I don't ask the court for help in this matter. Is there any other way? The more he listened, the more confused he became, and said, "If you follow what Bu Shuai said, is there any other way?" ”

"Absolutely." Li Qi smiled: "It's just to let people spontaneously send food here." ”

"W-how is this possible?" Orihiko was surprised.

Li Qi said: "How is it impossible. But to do this, the only thing you have to do is the economy. ”

"Economy?"

Everyone said in unison.

"Yes, there are two great things about the economy, the first is that it has a very good bonding, and it connects two completely unrelated places together, for example. The imperial court recently planned to build an armory in the northwest, which was regarded as this Fufeng County, and once the armory was completed, the weapons produced in the armory prison would be shipped to other countries. Originally, the two had nothing to do with each other, and it was the economy that linked them together, but the economy needed manpower, which also increased the exchange of people between the two regions. This is the second major feature, mobility, and the key to the economy lies in mobility. The flow of goods and people is the result of the movement of goods and people throughout the country and even around the world. Once our Fengxiang economy develops, and other regions to form an economic chain, then there will definitely be businessmen here, once there are more people in the past, then the grain will begin to flow in Fengxiang, will be transported from Fengxiang to other places, there will also be food inflow, once there is a natural disaster, then Fengxiang's food will have an emergency shortage, then the demand is far better than the supply, then it will definitely affect the entire economic chain, then people will consciously make up for this economic chain. To be more realistic, if Fengxiang and Hangzhou have a disaster of the same kind at the same time, Hangzhou's recovery speed is far better than Fengxiang's, this is because Hangzhou's economy is developed and there are many businessmen in the past. ”

Li Qi looked into the distance and said: "All in all, if you want to take precautions and refuse to happen again, you must develop the northwest." ”

"Develop the Northwest?"

Ji Minren was stunned.

Li Qi nodded and said: "If Hangzhou and other places are the southern gate of my Great Song Dynasty, then Fengxiang is the northern gate of our Great Song Dynasty." In fact, Fengxiang's geographical location is excellent, close to the Silk Road, can lead to any country in the west, there are Weizhou and Gyeongju in front of it, even if there is a war, there will be a buffer stage, which we can use to attract those merchants to come here to do business, set up factories, open shops, open workshops and so on. If a Hangzhou businessman, his goods are to be transported to Huifu, then his delivery distance is more than 10,000 miles, and some goods have a time limit, can not be put for too long, so he can not do business with Huifu in this area, this money can not be earned, then what should be done? Come to Fengxiang to open a branch, which greatly shortens the distance, so that the goods can be transported to Huifu faster and more conveniently, and more financial routes can be expanded.

If a large number of businessmen come here to open shops and build workshops, then they must need manpower, so they have to recruit people here, and the most basic thing to recruit people is to give the employees a bite to eat, and at that time, if there is a natural disaster, they can't just want this store, and they don't want their own employees, at that time, they don't need to say it, they will transport the grain here independently. ”

Zhi Yanzhi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "This plan is wonderful!" ”

Li Qi shook his head and said, "In fact, compared to natural disasters, it is more terrifying. ”

Zhi Yanzhi was stunned again, and then hugged his fists and said: "Bu Shuai can rest assured, with our Zhejia army here, no one will be allowed to harm the people of our northwest." ”

Li Qi nodded with a smile and said, "With your words, I am relieved." After a pause, he said to Ji Minren, who was still pondering: "Ji Zhifu." ”

Ji Minren was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "What do you have to say?" ”

Li Qi said: "Actually, this is not something I suddenly thought, my original idea of economic construction was to expand the two wings, and develop Jiangnan and Northwest at the same time, so it won't be long before the first batch of businessmen will come here, and you have to prepare as soon as possible." ”

Ji Minren nodded and said, "Ji will definitely go all out." ”

"That's good."

Li Qi nodded, and suddenly asked, "By the way, how long have I been here?" ”

Yue Fei behind him said: "Bu Shuai, it's been half a month." ”

"Half a month?" Li Qi frowned.

Ji Minren said: "Bu Shuai, what's going on?" ”

"Oh, it's fine." Li Qi shook his head, looked up at the sky, and said, "It's not too early, that's the end of today, let's go back to Linyou County." ”

After returning to Linyou County, Li Qi seemed to be quite worried, and he ate a little casually for dinner, and his appetite was not very good. After dinner, Li Qi took Ma Qiao and secretly went to Zhao Jingyan.

As soon as Zhao Jingyan saw Li Qi coming, she hurriedly asked, "Is there a letter from the capital?" ”

Li Qi shook his head and said solemnly: "I'm here for this matter, let's go in first." ”

The two of them came to the house. Li Qi consciously sat on the table and frowned: "The situation seems to be a little right. ”

Zhao Jingyan snorted and said, "If you use eight hundred miles to expedit, it should be sent to the capital within two days, and it will only take four days to go back and forth." ”

Li Qi nodded and said: "This matter is so urgent, it is urgent, how can the Taishi not be serious, he should follow closely, even if it is not dealt with, he should also send me a letter, it is impossible for me to wait here." ”

Zhao Jingyan frowned tightly and said, "What about Qin Hui?" ”

Li Qi said: "No, but the situation on his side is different, they are taking the Huainan East Road, when I believe it, they should be near Chuzhou or Yangzhou, so they have to rush to the Huainan granary first, no matter how fast the troops of thousands of people are, I am afraid that they will have to take time, and they will have to investigate, and it will take some time, so the news over there will not come so quickly." ”

Zhao Jingyan nodded, and suddenly said, "Could it be that something happened in the capital?" ”

Li Qi said: "I have also thought about this, but even if something happens, the Taishi should come to me to write a letter, and not let him deliver it in person." Unless. ”

Zhao Jingyan raised her willow eyebrows and said, "The letter was not delivered to the Taishi, and it was robbed halfway." ”

"If that's the case," he sighed, "it would be too bad, and our plans are in the hands of the enemy. ”

Zhao Jingyan said: "Judging from the current situation, it may be very big. But if faith is robbed, who will do it? ”

"It's hard to say." Li Qi shook his head and said, "It stands to reason that the Folding Family Army is the most likely to be Xing, but I'm doing this for their good, why did they do this?" If it weren't for the Zhejia army, it might have been done by the people in the capital, they would have sent people here to wait a long time ago, but if not, then it is very likely that Fengxiang still has some enemies lurking that I don't know, if so, it would be terrible, maybe even the letter to Qin Hui was robbed. ”

Zhao Jingyan pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't I go back to the capital?" ”

Li Qi rolled his eyes and said: "It's better to be free, have you forgotten what your identity is, since they can rob the letter, there must be eyeliner everywhere, in case it is from the capital, if those people know that you are also in Fengxiang, hmph, it will be bad." ”

Zhao Jingyan sighed and said, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

Li Qi said: "Now this is just our speculation, wait a little longer, if it really doesn't work, I will directly send a thousand people to deliver the letter, although it is a little slow, but it is better than not being able to send it." ”

Zhao Jingyan shook her head and didn't answer, obviously Li Qi's words were angry, he couldn't protect himself now, where did he dare to send half of the people to deliver a letter. (To be continued......)
