Chapter 176 Food Crisis
Cao Ang did not resign himself from his title, and he was wronged and aggrieved to accept this Marquis of Dongling Ting. He had to do it for others, but for his own teacher.
With the imperial edict, Cao Ang felt less and less uncomfortable when he thought about it. Emperor Ling gave him a bite of a fly, and he pinched his nose and ate the fly. Emperor Ling felt relieved, and he was so awkward.
Cao Ang didn't care about the position of the marquis or the fiefs of the two thousand households.
The world has been in chaos for a few years, and it doesn’t make any sense for the emperor to grant him ten thousand households. Tao Qian and Cao Cao, who occupied Xuzhou in history, were enemies. When the war between the two sides, Cao Ang’s two thousand households were in front of Tao Qian, and they were just meat buns to beat dogs, and they went but never returned.
Besides, Cao Ang is not short of money, so it is better to change his reputation.
After thinking about it, Cao Ang always felt that he could not suffer such a big loss. He had to be grateful if Emperor Ling ridiculed him. If he had lost his temper, he would definitely be an important harm to a person who made a living by fame.

So Cao Ang sent someone to spread news in the army that Cao Ang originally wanted to resign from the emperor's title, but was advised by Duke Lu. If Cao Ang resigned from the title, how would the other people who received the title behave themselves? This was because he had to give in and receive the title.
Moreover, this matter is proof of Cao Ang's article "Resignation from the Marquis of Dongling Ting", and some people even spread the article.
Cao Ang did not mention Lu Zhi's concerns about intensifying conflicts between the monarch and his subjects and triggering struggles in the court, but only spread that Cao Ang's move was for consideration for the soldiers of the three armies, and immediately bought a wave of people's hearts in the army.
Everyone praised Cao Ang for his unparalleled kindness. After all, if Cao Ang took the lead in resigning his title, it would be difficult for others to deal with it.
After Lu Zhi learned about this, he guessed Cao Ang’s little thoughts, but did not mention it. After all, he was suppressing Cao Ang for this matter. If Cao Ang couldn’t let Cao Ang breathe, Cao Ang didn’t know what he would do.
In private, Lu Zhi ordered that all the confiscated paintings of the Yellow River corpse were burned and not kept privately, which eliminated a hidden danger for Cao Ang.
The matter about Cao Ang's title soon passed. Although Cao Ang wrote a sharp and sharp satirical article, he did not really cite him after all, and this article was not spread to the emperor at all, so naturally no storm was caused.
The focus of Lu Zhi and others on the migration of Taiping Road people.
At this time, the mentality of more than 200,000 Taiping Taoists was still stable. The court appointed Zhang Rao as the Marquis of Yongzhong, and Yongzhong was the former Guangzong County. Therefore, the court was Zhang Jiao's base camp and changed its name directly. Liu Shi, Yu Yu Gen and others also granted titles such as Duting Hou and Guannei Hou respectively.
This was a great kindness released by the court, which naturally allowed the surrendered Taiping Taoist people to calm down.

Of course this is only temporary. Many people understand that the reason why the court is so generous is to free up the strength to deal with the affairs of Liangzhou, and to worry that the more than 200,000 will gather together and cause trouble again.
So when will these Taiping Taoist people be dispersed and when will it really determine the fate of these people?
Yang Yi, the former Yangyu, was also granted an official position, but he resigned and left Guangzong. No one cared about a scholar who did not lead the army and soon sent Cao Ang's men to Peiguo.
People's hearts are calm, but migration is not easy.
In the cold winter, people migrate thousands of miles, with complex personnel, and can be said to be the right time, place, and people, and they are all in hand.
Moreover, the court created difficulties for Lu Zhi and others.
Originally, according to the plan, it was enough to send these people to Shuofang counties. The Shuofang counties were sparsely populated and had a lot of fertile land. When these people became stable, they could be self-sufficient.
Or no one cares about life or death.
However, the court ordered that these Taiping people be moved to Yunzhong, Shuofang, Dingxiang, Wuyuan, Shangjun, Xihe, Daijun, Yanmen, Taiyuan and even Hedong Guanzhong to completely solve this hidden danger.
The emperor was not stupid. The court had a very weak influence over the three counties of Shuofang. If all these Taiping Taoists were moved to Shuofang, these people occupied land to become kings and even led the barbarians south, the court had no way to counterattack.
Discussion on the group of Lu 丽⑦④丽⑦⑦丽
More than 100,000 people were disrupted and scattered into more than a dozen counties and dozens of counties. At that time, these Taiping Taoists had no foundation and no strength, so they could only act as good people in the local area.
The imperial court arranged lightly, but places like Xihe and Shangjun were originally very barren, and they could not arrange for them to accept the population at all. Hedong, Taiyuan, Yanmen and other places were also rarely without a home. This group of people moved there, without land to cultivate or house to live in, so they would not be able to wait for chaos.
Therefore, we need to coordinate the local area and arrange land and houses. Lu Zhi's work has increased countless times out of thin air.
Of course, Lu Zhi is responsible for this matter, but Cao Ang doesn't need to be managed by him.
The reason why Lu Zhi was annexed the prefecture and the governors of Jizhou was because the emperor hoped that Lu Zhi could properly handle the matter.
One person is the governor of two states and has never appeared since Emperor Wu established the governor.
In fact, the emperor is optimistic about Lu Zhi and wants to cultivate Lu Zhi, especially after the rebellion. If Lu Zhi completely turns to the emperor, under the protection of the emperor, he may not be able to compete with several aristocratic families. Unfortunately, from beginning to end, Lu Zhi never thought of being the emperor's lackey, and was destined to be the Ling Emperor's Pearl.
However, now Lu Zhi has used the ability to defeat the Yellow Turban, and the two are still in their honeymoon period.
In addition to the difficulties in migration, Lu Zhi also faces the most difficult problem, that is, the food problem.
It was originally planned to migrate more than 100,000 people, and the food shortage was 200,000 to 300,000 septembers and counties crowded. Even if the Taiping Road people eat less, they could free up enough food.
But now there are 250,000 Taiping Dao people who are going to migrate.
It is the end of the year now. From now until the autumn harvest, at least eight months, for these 250,000 people, an average of at least six or seven stones (about 400 kilograms) of grain per person, which requires at least one and six million stones of grain.
This is a big gap.
The imperial court gave 500,000 stones. In addition to consumption and rewards, the imperial court only had 300,000 stones left. The gap of 800,000 stones was left, and Lu Zhi needed to find a way to find a way.
But so much food can't be squeezed out by squeezing it alone.
Jizhou suffered from this military disaster and did not produce much harvest in a year. Lu Zhi even asked the court to exempt Jizhou from rent for one year; Bingzhou was even more poor and barren, and the food needed every year needed to be supplemented by the court. In the current situation, even if Lu Zhi was sold, he could not produce food.
Lu Zhi was so sad that he almost turned white.
Of course, Lu Zhi can also let go of his hands and eat as long as he has the grain. After all, this 800,000 stone of grain is enough for these Taiping people to eat for four or five months, and they can eat it until they migrate to various places. For the remaining few months of food, let each county find a way for themselves. No one can blame Lu Zhi for it.
But Lu Zhi was not a cruel person after all. He knew what would happen if he did this and waited for these people. Therefore, although he had no choice but to do so, he could only try his best.
