Chapter 777 If you dare not give it, then grab it all the way
No matter which dynasty or era, human life is always at stake. Don’t look at the historical books that say, in a certain year, there is a severe drought, no harvest of particles, starvation is all over the ground, you have no way, you are happy...
In fact, most of these words are about scholars who have nothing to do when they are full, and they don’t have to hurt their backs while standing. In fact, even the superiors of all dynasties, even if they are famous tyrant emperors, as long as they hear that the people starve to death, their first reaction is that they are amazing and they have to hurry up to rescue the disaster. This matter is at stake.
However, at the end of the 13th year of Zhenguan, the people in the migrant army starved to death, and Han Yue didn't know about this, because the migrant army was on the way, and now the person responsible for the migrant officials and escorting the soldiers in the palace.
Although only one starved to death, there will be a second one. Once a large area of food and hunger begins to appear, it is likely that thousands or thousands of people will starve to death in batches...
The migrant officials panicked and sweated heavily. They found four dukes. The four dukes felt that this matter was serious and did not dare to be proficient, so they found Li Tai, who was helping to escort the jerky meat.
Li Tai was even more frightened because the 10 million pounds of jerky he had escorted had been eaten up by the people...
This batch of jerky meat is the grain that the grassland supports Lingnan, and it is produced by the private ranch of Li Tianying, the son of Han Yue. He originally wanted to transport it to the people of Zhouji in Lingnan, but unexpectedly he was eaten up on the road.
Is 10 million kilograms of jerky more?
a lot of!
But can it last for a long time?
cannot!
Lingnan has developed and migrated five million people across the country. The first batch of millions of people have arrived. The reason why people did not starve to death is that all the roads and prefectures along the way provide free food and drink.
The second batch also has a population of one million, but this time the Daofu County and towns along the way no longer have the ability to provide food and drink. It is not that they are cruel and do not give it, but that they are not willing to do it.
In ancient times, Chinese people were nostalgic for their hometown and were reluctant to leave their hometown unless they had to. Now the Tang Dynasty has a population of 90 million, and all the five million people who agreed to migrate were extremely poor.
If you don’t have overnight food at home, there is no question of raising food to go on the road!
Li Tianying's 10 million kilograms of jerky meat is indeed a lot, but the population cannot hold on to the food, and millions of hungry people can only be divided into ten kilograms per person according to the head...
Some people say that ten pounds are not bad. After all, this is jerky. One pound of jerky can turn into three pounds after cooking, and it is particularly hunger-resistant when eaten.
This is true, but we have to look at the time. Migrants have to go all the way to Lingnan. It is already a burning incense after three or two months. Even if each person can get ten kilograms of jerky, how long can these ten kilograms of jerky last?
So, finally, starting this morning, the first person starved to death.
This is the beginning and also the sign. The migrant officials were afraid, the four dukes were panicked, and the King of Wei Li Tai was also helpless. None of them had the ability to solve this big problem.
Eating has been the top priority since ancient times!
"This matter cannot be delayed. You will go with me to see the imperial concubine!" In the end, Changsun Wuji spoke. Although everyone present had the highest status, Changsun Wuji was the highest according to the highest status. The old Duke frowned and thought about it, and finally decided to disturb Youyou.
Everyone was helpless and could only come together to ask for a meeting.
During this period, Youyou has been sitting in a carriage and took care of Li Xiang's little guy who was not suitable for the environment and the environment. Although Youyou's martial arts skills are invincible in the world, he is confident of his identity and does not want to show up. If she went to Lingnan alone, she would probably have arrived in half a month.
But no matter how much I don’t want to show up, everyone still has to ask her for instructions when encountering major events.
Changsun Wuji brought people here, stood next to the carriage and coughed twice, then lowered his voice and asked softly: "Two imperial concubines, can Li Xiang be diagnosed with illness?"
Youyou heard that it was Changsun Wuji's voice, and quickly lifted the curtain of the carriage and walked out. She jumped out of the carriage and bowed her knees to give Changsun Wuji a woman's gift, and also lowered her voice: "Uncle, are you here? Xiang'er is fine! She just got sweaty when she gave him hot water. At this moment, the girl Haitang is sleeping with her arms around..."
Changsun Wuji nodded, then reached out and pointed slightly into the distance. Youyouzhong was extremely intelligent and immediately knew that this was a hint that he was talking to him.
She looked back at the carriage, jumped up and carefully tied the door curtain, and then whispered, saying, "My daughter Haitang, the cold winter wind is strong, don't come out if you hug Xiang'er. I'll tie the curtains outside to death, so as not to blow the cold wind in and freeze the doll. Remember to open the car window every once in a while to give the child a dirt breath."
Hou Haitang hesitated and said carefully: "Sister, is something wrong?"
Youyou smiled and comforted, "You take care of Xiang'er, and I'm outside..."
As he said that, he jumped out of the carriage, and then nodded at Changsun Wuji. Then everyone walked quietly away and found a small valley with leeing back to speak.
Only when Changsun Wuji knew that he dared to tell the truth, he said solemnly: "Imperial concubine, something is wrong. There was a problem with the migration army this morning, and a commoner starved to death."
Youyou's delicate body suddenly shook!
Starving to death is the word she least wants to hear. On a snowy night in the grassland, her old father walked into the wind and snow because of the food. When Youyou cried and found his father, the poor old shepherd's body was frozen.
Hunger is always a pain that cannot be touched in Youyou's heart.
Even though she is now invincible, even if she is now the saint of the prairie, even if her husband is the most powerful man in the world, even if her concubine ranks higher than the position of the queen of the Tang Dynasty. Even if she is extremely prosperous in the world, she cannot suppress the shadow of her Girls' Generation...
In Youyou's heart, starving people to death is the most important thing in the world.
"Where is the food? Where is the jerky meat from the grassland?" The next moment, Youyou roared directly. He was obviously a peerless woman, but his aura was not inferior to a man at all.
After she yelled, she realized something was wrong and quickly restrained her excitement, but she still frowned and her eyes were cold, and her eyes glanced at everyone.
Li Tai and the four dukes were fine. The migrant officials knelt down with a thud. Several of them had white faces and trembled. After a long time, they said trembling: "Grandma calm down. This migration is more miserable than the previous group. Every household is white. They have neither food reserves nor winter clothes. In addition, the various governments along the way cannot provide food. Millions of people rely entirely on the jerky meat in the grassland..."
Speaking of this, he looked at Youyou carefully, swallowed his mouth and hardened his teeth and said, "I finally lost my food until the evening of the previous day. I was cold and hungry, and I was hit by the two of them, so I died this morning. We were also very frightened and my heart was inexplicably painful."
Bang!
Click!
Youyou waved his palm angrily and patted a towering ancient tree by the valley. The tree first made a dull sound of "bang", and then broke in the waist with a "click". One person hugged it so thickly, but was actually slapped twice by a palm. Several migration officials shook all over and fell down with panic on their faces.
Youyou's eyes were blazing fire and said angrily: "The food was cut off three days ago. Why did you have to starve to report it?"
As he said that, he swept away the four dukes coldly, and even Li Tai was even glanced at her. This time, Youyou did not give everyone a face and asked: "Are you suppressing me? That's why the migrant officials failed to report?"
Changsun Wuji sighed, Lao Cheng and others turned around. The four old men knew that Youyou was angry for a moment, so they didn't feel distracted because of this.
Li Tai coughed embarrassedly and bowed and explained: "Sister-in-law, don't blame me. I just learned that I had scolded these fools before I came here, but it's meaningless to get angry and hold people accountable now. What we should do most now is to solve the food rations, otherwise there will be a large number of people who starve to death..."
He couldn't say anything about this, and his fat body suddenly shivered. It was obvious that he expected that the starving scene was too terrifying, and his round, naturally festive face turned blue.
"What road does this place belong to? Which prefecture is along the way?" Youyou suddenly shouted crisply.
Changsun Wuji's eyes flashed and replied in a deep voice: "This place belongs to Henan Road, not far from Huainan Road. As for the state prefecture, there is no county with a capacity of 200,000 people within fifty miles."
"A county with 200,000 people? Very good..."
Youyou nodded, and a strange light suddenly appeared in his eyes, saying: "Winter has just arrived, and the late autumn has just ended. The Tang Dynasty collects taxes and treasurys in autumn. Now there must be tax grain in the official warehouses in various places. Let's go and ask them for grain, and find them for the national treasury grain in the official warehouse."
Everyone was shocked. The four dukes looked at each other quietly. Li Tai coughed gently and said carefully: "Sister-in-law, the tax grain in the official warehouse will be sealed in the warehouse. You must wait until the treasury is in the treasury before you can use it. This is the foundation of the national system of the Tang Dynasty. You cannot use it indiscriminately..."
Youyou's eyes turned cold and suddenly looked out of the valley from afar. It was the morning festival, and a group of hungry people were scrambling the bark. A firmness suddenly appeared on her pretty face, and she said coldly: "When my husband brought the people out of seclusion, no one on the way was frozen to death. Later, millions of people went to the northeast, and no one starved to death. No matter what the foundation of the Tang Dynasty was or not, I only know that these people were from the husbands. So what if the official warehouse was sealed? Split it open. If the local officials disagree, then rob..."
So what if the official warehouse is sealed?
Split it.
What if local officials disagree?
Then grab it!
Such a domineering tone and act in a strong manner, this beautiful woman finally showed her strong and strong side when dealing with the hunger of the people.
The four dukes looked at each other quietly again, and then exchanged a secret look with Li Tai. Li Tai coughed gently and asked carefully: "A small county with 200,000 people, even if they robbed all the Guan Cang, there was not much grain, but this place was still two thousand miles away from Lingnan. The migrant army would probably have to go for two months. Even if they robbed the food this time, what if they were cut off next time?"
"If it is broken, continue to borrow from the official warehouse. If it is not borrowed, continue to rob. So what if it is two thousand miles, it is three thousand miles and five thousand miles. As long as I can protect my husband's people, I will rob it all the way..."
OK, just say one thing to her!
In fact, Changsun Wuji and others had this plan for a long time, and even Li Tai was a famous old man, but everyone could not take the lead in doing such a thing, and they had to let Youyou personally export it.
After all, Han Yue has established a country now, and these people have become the people of the Chinese Empire. It is definitely unauthentic to say that robbed the Tang Dynasty's food for the people of the empire.
Although the emperors of the two countries are brothers, since ancient times, brothers have to settle accounts clearly. There is no small matter in matters involving state affairs. Besides, this is not a small matter, but a major matter of splitting the other person's official warehouse and robbing tax grain.
"Let's go, I will lead the team myself and go to see the local officials of that small county first. If he gives me the face of the old Duke of the Tang Dynasty, then everyone doesn't need to use a knife or a gun. If..." Changsun Wuji did not continue to say that, but just lifted his robe and led the way.
Later, Lao Cheng and three other dukes followed each other, and the migrant officials also climbed up. After robbing the grain this time, they were afraid that they would never have the chance to be an official in the Tang Dynasty, so they had to work hard to show themselves, hoping that they could have a single official and half position after going to the Huaxia Empire.
Li Tai felt deeply stressed when facing Youyou alone and hurriedly bowed and said goodbye.
Before leaving, this guy did not forget to explain embarrassedly and said carefully: "Sister-in-law, you are not a big deal about your ten million pounds of jerky meat. It is because the people are hungry and can't hold on. I have no choice but to grit my teeth and take it out!"
Speaking of this, he suddenly slapped his chest and sweared: "But sister-in-law, don't worry, I can pay my salary as compensation, but 10 million pounds is a bit too much. I may need five years of salary to be enough to pay..."
Youyou nodded and said with praise: "Uncle did a good job in this matter, so there is no need to apologize for it. As for compensation, don't talk nonsense. The people who eat dried meat are the people under the command of their husbands."
She paused at this point, thought for a while, and suddenly called Li Tai and said, "Second brother, stay first, I have something to look for you!"
Li Tai looked confused and panicked, "What's the matter? Should I pay back the money now?"
Youyou glared at him and said laughing and crying: "You originally wanted to carry the jerky to Lingnan, but now the jerky has been consumed halfway. I want to entrust my second brother to turn around and go to the grassland, and then collect a batch of jerky to catch up. If 10 million pounds are not enough to eat, then collect 50 million pounds. The people's migrating army is slow, and you can rush to march in a hurry..."
Fifty million pounds, I'm going to be a mom!
Li Tai was stunned for a moment, feeling shocked by this big move.
In this world, it seems that only my sister-in-law can do such a thing, and only the grasslands that are unified in the east and west have this strength.
There are a lot of 50 million kilograms of dried meat, but it is really a waste of money for the entire prairie. Li Tai heard from officials of the Ministry of Revenue that last year there were 10 million new lambs and calves on the grassland.
According to the rules of grassland grazing, 10 million new lambs and calves mean that 10 million old cows and sheep can be slaughtered.
How much meat can an old cow produce? Five hundred kilograms are still OK!
Fifty million kilograms of jerky meat are nothing in the prairie where it is gradually becoming rich.
However, the guy immediately thought of a question and frowned and said, "Now the grassland has been allocated to Chengqian. How should I calculate when I get jerky? Credit? Arrears? 50 million kilograms of jerky, this is not a small amount..."
Youyou smiled faintly, a trace of firmness appeared on Fenghua's peerless face, and said, "I have snatched all the official warehouses, what's the point of transferring jerky?"
The grassland was built by Han Yue. Youyou spent eight years there. Now the whole grassland is handed over to Li Chengqian. So what if he wants him to 50 million kilograms of jerky?
If you don’t give it, you have to say it carefully!
