Chapter 613: Overlord Makes a Hard Bow (Thank you for the 110,000 reward from the Blood Sea £ Piaoxiang Alliance Leader!) )
Danjiang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The tributary of the Tangbai River, a tributary of the Han River, originates in the southern foot of the Qinling Mountains in the northwest of Shangzhou, with a main stream of 800 li, which is the longest tributary of the Han River, and the basin area accounts for one-tenth of the total area of the Han River basin.
This river is well-navigated and is an important golden waterway in the Shannan region. But at the same time, floods are more frequent and contain more sand. Between the Danjiang River and the Bashui in Guanzhong, there is also a communication road Dan Badao, but now it is in disrepair, and this Dan Ba Road is not easy to walk.
Li Chao took the land route out of Lantian Pass, entered Shangzhou, and then went down to Danjiang.
The boat is on the Danjiang River and is very comfortable.
Li Chengqian and the others are looking for Danyu every day, but Li Chao is thinking about more problems.
"Is Danjiang really named after Danyu?" Cheng Chumo was barefoot, sitting on the side of the boat, holding a fishing rod in his hand. It seems that he also wants to catch a Dan fish.
Li Chao smiled.
"The so-called Danyu is actually just a legend of the ancients. In fact, the real name of the Danjiang River comes from because Dayu's grandson Danzhu had controlled the water here, and in honor of him, the descendants called this river Danshui. Also known as Danyuan, Chishui, Fanqingjiang. ”
"No salmon?" Cheng Chu turned his head silently, a little regretful.
"How can there be such an amazing fish."
Cui Yan looked at her brother-in-law and seemed to have some thoughts. "What is Sangkook worried about?"
What is Li Chao worried about? Of course, I'm worried about food and next year's disaster relief plan. Now that autumn is now, the weather is still dry, and the drought reports in various places are like snowflakes. Li Shimin sent a fast horse every day to give Li Chao a copy of the news.
The autumn drought has not stopped, there is no trace of rain, and there are already reports in some places that autumn locusts have begun to appear. Although these locust plagues were still small-scale and did not form large migration groups, everything confirmed what Li Chao had deduced before, and the situation was constantly deteriorating.
The situation is becoming more and more urgent.
Li Chao knew very well that the purpose of his visit to Shannan this time was not to build a new capital, in fact, until now, the construction of a new capital is only secondary. The main purpose is to be responsible for disaster prevention.
With the passage of time, the disaster will become more and more severe like a flood, and if you don't find a way to dredge and prevent it, then you can't stop it.
But in the final analysis, no matter what plan or means are needed for disaster relief, there is one of the most fundamental things, and that is food.
If there is no food, a thousand ways and ten thousand words are all false.
Whether it's cash-for-work or any other way, you have to have enough food.
Now the imperial court is trying to find a way to transfer grain to the Central Plains from all directions, but grain is very heavy. The ancients said that a hundred miles do not sell wages, and thousands of miles do not sell rice. The transportation technology of the ancients was not good, the roads were not smooth, and the long-distance grain transportation out of the state was very difficult.
Time is of the essence, and even if some food can be scraped together in the surrounding areas, it will be very difficult to transport food to the disaster area.
Especially now, it has entered autumn, and the river water is shallow in autumn, and this year is particularly dry, so many rivers are difficult to navigate, and those who can be navigated will also be greatly affected. When the drought continues, it will be more difficult to transport grain, and in winter, the ships will not be able to work.
In addition to stepping up the transportation of grain from the surrounding areas, the most important thing is to take out some of the grain in the hands of the big landlords and households in the Central Plains.
Although it is a bit strict to adopt such a method as buying and taking over the Yicang Shecang, the current situation is not strict.
Everyone is like a person who stays under that embankment, the river hangs high, the water is getting more and more rapid, and once the embankment bursts, it is not anyone's business, but all the people under this embankment, will suffer a catastrophe.
This is like a time of war, when the enemy besieges the city, then the people in the city must be united, share everything, and keep the city from being broken is the first thing.
Li Chao now asked the imperial court to buy, or first set a self-reserved quota for those rich landlords, and the excess quota was only half of the purchase.
But if the situation is really critical, Li Chao also retains the plan to buy or borrow grain from the rich households.
However, Li Chao also knows that it will not be easy to buy grain with the big landlords in these places.
Even if the prime ministers and princes of the capital responded as soon as possible, but when it comes to the locality, will the local heroes cooperate? These are two different things.
Even when the enemy is at present, there are people who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, not to mention that it is only a disaster, and some people only care about themselves and do not care about others.
"The teacher was worried that the local landlords would not pay the grain? What is there to worry about, when the time comes, mobilize local government soldiers and government officials, and go directly to the door to pull grain, who dares not to pay, hum! Cheng Chumo felt that this matter was very simple.
The emperor has issued an edict, and even those prime ministers and princes in Beijing have cooperated, and these local landlords are strong, and they dare to resist?
"Chu Mo, don't be too optimistic, the capital is the capital, and the place is the place. The princes in Beijing responded and cooperated, but it did not mean that the local people would also cooperate. Don't say anything about force, this kind of thing will not work if you are completely forced. ”
Originally, the current situation is not good, if you make another official to force the people to rebel, won't it be even more chaotic?
If you can't be in a hurry, you have to pay attention to strategy.
After all, it is impossible to make everyone as conscious as you, and the more local landlords and tyrants, the more they have only a home and no country.
Get ideas to make them willing to take out food.
"Why don't we let the court ask these landlords to confer knighthood?" Li Gan came up with an idea on the side.
It is not an uncommon thing for Nasu to be knighted, as early as the Han Dynasty.
Anyway, it means one, pay for the knighthood with food. This is the same as the copper atonement, which is the payment of copper to atone for sin.
Anyway, it's all for those in the powerful. Ordinary people don't have the money to buy officials and knights, and they don't have the money to pay money to exonerate themselves.
Officials are the public instruments of the country, and of course they cannot be bought and sold casually. After all, the official position is managed by the state, and the money is used to buy officials, and they must not be allowed to manage it in a disorderly manner.
Titles have privileges, and generally nobles have privileges but don't care about things, so more often than not, they are still selling lords rather than officials. Datang's current title is not as valuable as before.
Nowadays, there are hereditary titles, demoted hereditary titles, and lifelong titles, both real titles and virtual titles, but no matter which one it is, it is not as good as before.
Guogong County Gong County Gong County Hou County Bo County Zi County male, the name is still very loud, and the actual benefits are not as good as before.
First, there is no real title and no fiefdom and fiefdom, all of which are converted into frontier fields, and one real fief is exchanged for ten acres of land. A household is actually sealed for 50 acres of land. (To be continued.) )
