Chapter 404: Divergence
Chen Xin put down the towel in his hand, looked up at the few people present and asked, "So, has the civil affairs department made any other effective solutions in the past few days?" โ
According to the report, there are serious divisions within the civil affairs department, and some people think that these are the subjects of the kingdom, so they advocate relaxation and compromise.
There are also those who believe that these people have already started a rebellion, are enemies, and advocate suppression by force.
Anyway, the entire civil affairs department is in chaos, and no one can convince anyone. โ
Chen Xin snapped, threw off the towel, and said angrily, "How can this be?" Don't they know their duties? It is their main duty to maintain the stability of the country and let the people live in a safe and healthy environment. Now, how many days have it been since the incident, and there is still no unanimous opinion, where have they learned in their political lessons! โ
Several people did not dare to speak.
Only Anya came over timidly, refilled Chen Xin's cup of tea, and then said with relief, "Your Excellency already has an idea?" โ
"Well, in this matter, the first problem is to arrest the clan patriarchs and family elders who took the lead. Then, the guy who killed and injured someone was arrested.
All are handed over to the local justice system for detention. First of all, the riots should be suppressed and social order should be restored to normal.
Then carry out the aftermath work in detail, the sentence that should be judged, the killing that should be killed, the reward of the reward, and the compensation of the compensation.
What do we make laws for? Isn't it just for solving problems?
As long as we have the law to follow and enforce the law strictly, what problems can't be solved? โ

After Chen Xin finished asking about all the things that had happened in the past few days, he walked to the conference room with the intelligence director.
By the time the two of them arrived at the conference room, it was already full of people.
???? In the middle of the conference room was a rectangular table, and Chen Xin sat down in the middle of the side facing the door.
Chen Xin has never presided over the meeting by himself, he is always looking for someone to be responsible for this matter, today, after sitting down, he still did not say anything opener, and said directly: "On the side of civil affairs, who will tell me the specific data of what has happened recently?" โ
The person in charge of the Ping'an East Province took the lead in standing up, "The time of this riot started in our North Ping'an County, so let's let my subordinates say it first."
Because of the many hills, most of the land in Beipingan County is relatively barren, and it was very difficult to distribute the land when it was originally planned, but at least mathematically, we did it fairly and justly.
At present, after the riots, about one in 1,000 towns and villages in North Pyongan County have rioted.
In this spring ploughing season, the land that has not been cultivated so far has reached 3,000 acres.
Among them, there are 11 villages involved, about 200 households, with a population of more than 3,000 people.
Our Bei'an County has already distributed cattle and seeds according to the practice of previous years.
During the riots, many cattle and seeds were destroyed, and some ruffians took the opportunity to slaughter the cattle, causing extremely bad effects and heavy losses.
Because there are many places where rioters often come out to loot, not only are the trade routes blocked in our county, but even the relief of the victims has been delayed. โ
After hearing this, Chen Xin thought for a while and said, "The most important thing now is to protect the lives of ordinary people, how many people are affected by the disaster in Bei'an County, we must complete the statistics as soon as possible, and at the same time solve the rioters, we must also give priority to ensuring the lives of the people." What else can the civil affairs department add? โ
The minister in charge of food supply in the cabinet flipped through the pamphlet in his hand and said lightly, "Your Majesty, there is no problem with the food relief for the affected people, and the kingdom's civilian grain reserves are still relatively sufficient, and there will be no shortage of food for at least half a year."
However, the chain reaction caused by the riots is likely to cause a reduction in grain production this year, if the production of grain towns is reduced, coupled with the need for disaster relief, and more importantly, Liaodong is still fighting, and the military still needs to expand the army.
This series of events is to consume a large amount of reserve materials.
On the one hand, there is a decrease in grain production, and on the other hand, there is a large increase in consumption, which is likely to cause the kingdom to have a shortage of food supply in the second half of the year.
This requires the kingdom to plan ahead and find a way to solve the problem before the middle of the year. โ
At this time, the Minister of Commerce spoke, "Your Excellency has just put forward a plan this morning, and we at the Ministry of Commerce think it is feasible.
In this plan, we can get a legal identity through Dongjiang Town and officially blend into the business circle of Daming.
Now that the sea and the coastal rivers have frozen, we don't need to stealthily get food from the south.
We can take this opportunity to buy food from the north.
You must know that the Ming Court needs to transport grain from all over the south to the north every year, which is called Caoyun.
We can make up the idea of this aspect, after all, transporting grain from the north saves a long distance, frees up a lot of ship capacity, and facilitates us to stock up a lot of grain. โ
Chen Xin nodded in agreement and said, "You are experts, this plan, you submit the action plan, have you encountered any other difficulties?" โ
The chief officer of Ning'an South County looked around a few times, then stood up and said: "Although there have been casualties in all counties, the statistics at this stage show that the casualties in our county are the heaviest.
The two townships under the jurisdiction of our county to the east fought with each other, and dozens of people were killed and wounded.
In the vicinity of that township, there was a lot of emotion now, and the cabinet had never made a clear statement, so I had no choice but to privately ask the commander of the local garrison to send a company of men to block the middle of the two townships and temporarily isolate them. โ
At this time, with a bang, everyone turned their heads to look and found that it was Da Chun from the military, and slapped it on the table.
He sat there and scolded loudly, "Turbulent fart, the people over there are basically refugees from the time when Jin ravaged the Gyeonggi region of the Ming Kingdom.
Later, the Golden Tartars plundered everywhere, looted grain and destroyed houses, and when they captured slaves, they did not see their crowds surging, and they all ran away from the field one by one.
The kingdom's trading company rescued them through a fleet of transport ships, and also arranged arranging arable land, seeds, cattle, and houses, what else did they not like?
Can we clean up the thousands of cavalry of Houjin, and still be afraid of them and a group of refugees?
If you want me to say, let's stop being polite to them, issue new rifles to the militiamen, let them lead the way, and follow the regular army to directly suppress the disturbing villages, arrest all those young people who cause trouble, and kill all those who have killed them. โ
