Luoyang City is a new capital. It is not the old city of Luoyang in the Han and Wei dynasties, but a magnificent capital that was newly built only in Daye Nian. Although the war has been to the Royal West Garden several times, Li Mi's troops have several times reached the foot of Luoyang City.

But there was no attack into the city, and there was no real fierce offensive and defensive battle under Luoyang City. Before Li Mi and Wang Shichong could decide the victory or defeat on the periphery, Luoyang City was captured by the Qin army's clever trick. Therefore, it can be said that Luoyang was saved.

At least for the countless people in Luoyang City, the Qin army arrived one day earlier, so many people starved to death.

Before Pei Xingyan entered Luoyang City, there was no food to buy in Luoyang City. The nobles and powerful might have hoarded some food early, and ordinary people could only find a way for themselves. When the Wei army did not siege the city, they could still go out to dig some wild vegetables and the like, but when the Wei army besieged the city, they could only be trapped in the city.

I was so hungry that I bought two-legged sheep from the black market, and even bought a baby and even ate it.

During the period when Li Mi and Wang Shichong competed for Luoyang, there was another thing that Luo Cheng seemed very funny now, that is, the people of Dongdu were trapped and had no food. Wang Shichong made a transaction request to Li Mi, which was to exchange money, silk and cloth from Luoyang City for the grain in the Luokou warehouse in Li Mi's hands.

What's even more incredible is that Li Mi actually agreed at that time, and the two sides had conducted several transactions of exchanging money and grain for this.

Although Li Mi finally stopped trading, many Dongdu merchants still secretly traded grain with Wei generals.

In the most difficult days in Luoyang City, I sold food for ten thousand yuan, but I could only trade it in gold.

But now, it has changed a lot.

The four prime ministers and officials from the temples who came from Fanyang quickly took over the mess in Luoyang.

And the grain from a ship is transported from Shandong, Huainan and Liaodong through the canal and the Yellow River.

"Your Majesty, you will first use the first batch of military rations transported from Donglai Port for disaster relief, implement a registration and quantitative rationing system, and use labor instead of relief, with excellent results. Yesterday, there were no dead bodies in Luoyang City who died of hunger."

The Left Pushe Du Ruhui reported the report.

"It's very good, food is precious, so now we must strictly implement the quantitative rationing system. We must let these life-saving food truly fall into the mouths of the people. It is strictly forbidden for people to collect grain at high prices. From now on, private transactions of grain will be prohibited, and merchants will be prohibited from hoarding grain. Those who dare to sell grain will be found to have all the food and their property, and will be sentenced to exile to the military farm in Liaodong."

In fact, when Li Mi surrounded Luoyang, Wang Shichong still had food in his hands, and there was also a granary in Luoyang City, which stored a lot of food. But at that time, Wang Shichong was guarding this food and only supplied it to the army and officials.

In addition, many grain merchants and nobles also stock up on their hands, but they will never take out their food.

The black grains on the market, which cost tens of thousands of yuan, were sold by granary officials, and the other was bought by bold merchants and Wei troops outside the city. They took risks and smuggled them, and they could make dozens of times the profits by going back and forth.

But now, no matter whether you are a former noble or aristocratic celebrity, you are not allowed to hoard and store a large amount of food without permission, and you are not allowed to sell and trade food without permission. Violators are directly punished for confiscation or even exile.

If merchants and nobles have food in their hands, they can be allowed to keep more food and allow them to keep enough food for a year, and the excess will be sold to the court with the surplus.

The imperial court did not sell grain at will, but adopted a quantitative distribution and sales system. It must be registered with the government first, and only with identity certificates can there be a fixed amount.

After the government registered their roster, it sent them an identity card and a grain coupon, which only lasted three days at a time. It was based on the identity card and the registered grain coupons that could not be circulated and traded, and then went to the military granary that specialized in managing grain to collect grain.

After receiving this relief grain, you have to bear the corresponding free labor service and exchange labor service for food.

It is precisely under this food policy that although the Qin army has not transported much food, the food shortage in Luoyang has temporarily stabilized. At least everyone has porridge to drink and doesn't have to worry about starving to death.

Every day, grain transport fleets arrive at the Luoyang Canal, which makes the people feel at ease.

Although this food policy also infringes on the interests of many nobles and grain merchants, at this special time, Luo Chengcai would not care about them. Whoever dares to openly resist the order will be severely punished if he catches it.

Everything is based on stability. Only when everyone has food in their hands and can they fill their stomachs can they have peace and stability to talk about. Otherwise, people who are anxious will do everything.

On the one hand, there are countless hungry people, and on the other hand, there are a few old powerful people. Luo Cheng knows very well which side he wants to stand on.

Everything is slowly recovering.

Several elite troops gathered in Shanxian, Puban, Wuguan and other places, maintaining strong pressure on Guanzhong.

On the other hand, Luo Cheng also selected and left some of the elite troops from Hedong, Henan, and mixed them into the Qin army, and then took on the task of sweeping away local bandits and bandits.

The people still have good looks, but at least they are no longer walking dead eyes and numb. Now everyone feels the hope of life and the hope of success.

The garbage in Luoyang City is also being cleaned.

The streets are being restored to clean. The three major markets of West City, North City and South City have even begun to enter merchants from Liaodong, Shandong, Huainan, Hedong and other places. They brought various commercial goods. Although they are far from the 270th day of Daye, and the grand occasion of thousands of merchants, they have also restored some vitality to Luoyang City.

Order is being restored in local counties and townships.

On the ruined village site, a group of newly resettled villagers were welcomed. They carried the food they received and brought their families to their new homes, cut down trees and harvested soil, built new houses, and helped each other.

Although the wooden houses, straw sheds and bamboo fences were simple, the curling smoke made the village angry. After working hard, everyone began to laugh and laughter, and the children began to chase and play with each other.

The county magistrate, county magistrate, county magistrate, township chief, village chief, village chief.

Layer organizations are being improved.

On the avenue, a station reopens every twenty miles.

In each county, there are always one or two military prefectures, and even each county has township militias.

There were no bandits and bandits everywhere, no clerks who were urging them to conquer like wolves and tigers, and no local tyrants and evil gentry who took advantage of the situation. There were only land everywhere, resettlement the people, and share the land and give land.

"Now Henan has experienced this catastrophe. It is poor and not scary. What is scary is chaos. As long as it is not chaos and stability, everyone can live and work in peace. Farmers farm, craftsmen make tools, and merchants sell them, and they will soon become prosperous and lively again."

Fang Xuanling, the Minister of the Secretariat, submitted a memorial saying that there were more than 300,000 households in the 22 counties of Luoyang, and the people in the palace, the entire Luoyang had a population of no less than 3 million.

But now, the entire Zhongjing Yingtian Prefecture, Luoyang and more than 20 surrounding counties have a total population of less than 200,000.

He suggested that the emperor should migrate local wealthy families from Liaoning, Andong, Hebei, Shandong, Huainan, Hedong and other roads to Luoyang to enrich the population of Yingtian Prefecture, Zhongjing.

Doing so can enrich the population of Zhongjing, and also cut off the firewood from the bottom of the pot, reducing the strength of these unstable local wealthy households so that the Xin Dynasty can quickly strengthen control in various places.

"Your Majesty, the Hetao has received an urgent report. Yun Dingxing was defeated in Jiuyuan and was defeated by the King of Jin. I specially submitted a letter to surrender."

"Oh, this is good news. It seems that Yun Dingxing, a fence-bearing man, finally saw the situation clearly." Luo Cheng laughed. Jiuyuan County is the key point of the Hetao area. Taking this place will not only control Hetao, but also pose a threat to Li Yuan in Guanzhong.

"It's just that there's bad news!"
