Although the weather is not as cold as before, it is still cold.
From time to time there is heavy snow and light snow falling. In the eyes of literati, the beautiful scenery is not friendly to ordinary people at all.
At this time, the most important thing for the Daqian court was disaster relief.
The same is true for today's suggestion of opening a warehouse for grain storage, without hesitation at all, and directly agreed.
Things like this cannot be hidden from the existence of energy.
Jia Rong got the news immediately, and Qin Keqing happened to be holding the child next to him. He chuckled and said: "I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the court this time!"
"How to say?"
Qin Keqing asked curiously: "Isn't it normal for the imperial court to open a warehouse to release grain to help the victims?"
"It's a normal thing!"
Jia Rong said leisurely: "But the problem is, it's hard to say whether there is still food in the local official warehouse!"
At the same time, it is still performed in the court today.
Qin Keqing's identity is not a secret. She has received a very orthodox royal education, otherwise her abilities would not be so strong.
I just didn't expect that there are no signs of thunder's wrath breaking out today, and there is still room for relaxation. Isn't this good?
Among the refugees, there were many who brought families with them. This was exactly the resource these two places needed, and a lot of them were recruited and taken away in just ten days.
In particular, the pawnshops operated by various companies have been doing extremely well in recent times, and they have collected a lot of good things.
If Jia Rong hadn't warned him in advance, he might have lost a lot of points this time.
They couldn't get much food. As for the food produced in the village, how could it be handed over to the court to help the victims?
It is obvious that today we have a very poor grasp of the mentality of the courtiers.
People in the officialdom naturally knew what was going on, but no one was willing to expose the secret behind it.
Seeing Qin Keqing's surprised and disbelieving look, he shook his head and said, "Just wait and see, I'm afraid there will be a lot of fires next!"
But what can the courtiers do?
They did not have the selfless spirit to give up their own interests and help the imperial court, and they even wished that the imperial court would allow them to share more benefits.
"Ning Mansion Jia Rong?"
However, the grain that disappeared from the local government warehouses has probably flowed into the hands of grain merchants, and it will not be easy to get it back from them.
Under such circumstances, before the disaster was completely over, most of the army of refugees that had gathered outside the capital was diverted away.
Of course, there are always those refugees who are nostalgic for their homeland, or are reluctant to leave their hometown and fields, and are unwilling to live elsewhere. They still hope to return to their hometown after the disaster is over. There are not a few such people.
In addition, the local garrison bosses stationed in various provinces also received the current secret order immediately, requiring them to fully cooperate with the imperial envoys.
With such a quantity of grain reserves in official warehouses, it is not easy to provide relief to the victims and successfully survive this sudden cold and snow disaster.
A word that wakes up the dreamer!
At the same time, one of the eunuchs in the palace, with enough internal guards and some elite guards, braved the cold and rushed out of the palace to the most severely affected areas.
The content of the secret is very simple, it just tells one thing.
Just kidding, even if the emperor has to take the blame, he has to be willing to do so, but he cannot tolerate the lawless local officials below.
Not to mention anything else, as for the refugees outside the capital, the food reserves in the grain stores in the city alone are enough to supply them until the disaster is over.
Dai Quan, who had been standing next to him, hurriedly bowed and recounted the general situation, secretly sighing in his heart that Jia Rong was good at what he did.
I was so happy now that I immediately decided to adopt Shi Jia's second brother's suggestion!
When I came back to my senses, I was a little annoyed that I hadn't thought of this before, otherwise I wouldn't have had to fight with those courtiers.
Dai Quan did not dare to be negligent and answered hurriedly and honestly: "Your Majesty, General Jia Rongjia of the Ning Mansion warned him in advance, so he went out of his way to find out more about it!"
Taking people and ransacking their homes is a normal operation. The key is to quickly replenish the local government warehouses with serious deficits so that they can play their due role.
Later, the old lady and Mrs. Wang also noticed it. If anything happened later, they simply told Qin Keqing. At least Qin Keqing's attitude really didn't matter.
Although, what Jia Rong said makes sense.
When the news reached today's desk, one can imagine the rage in his heart.
Of course, as a strategic grain reserve, it is better to use it or not.
However, the information sent by imperial envoys from various places is not very optimistic.
The young and strong among the refugees are good candidates for labor.
As mentioned earlier, the large and medium-sized coal mines controlled by the Founding Group have always lacked sufficient labor.
In addition, Qin Keqing, as the head of the Ning Mansion Female School, also needs to know something about the outside world. Otherwise, how can he teach the female students to do things in a practical way?
Obviously not, the courtiers probably just didn't want to talk about it, nor were they willing to take the initiative to help the court solve the problem.
All the court officials were very surprised. They didn't expect that they would play such a trick today.
The originally peaceful court suddenly became turbulent again.
Although the large grain stores in the capital had little connection with the courtiers, the shops in their hands made a lot of money during the cold and snowstorms.
Although the situation in Guancang is bad, it is not too difficult.
It was just the sudden severe cold weather, the rapid food consumption caused by the snowstorm, and the collapse of houses and other unexpected factors that forced me to flee my hometown and become a refugee.
Not only the Founding Honor Group and the two places are recruiting people, but other forces are also recruiting people, but the momentum is not that big.
The courtiers who helped to intercede were naturally unable to participate in the reselling of grain from the official warehouse. They simply did not care about such a small benefit.
In addition, every natural disaster is always followed by disaster, which further leads to an increase in the number of refugees, requiring the court and government to come forward to strictly rectify the situation.
It can be said that if it is feasible, many courtiers hope that the disaster will last as long as possible, but how can they really consider the present?
Thinking of this, the happy look on his face suddenly turned dull.
The grain reserves in the hands of the imperial court are quite sufficient, and at least there will be no such outrageous things happening in a few large granaries.
Jia Rong does not shy away from talking to her about outside matters, and is sometimes willing to listen to her opinions and thoughts.
There are garrison guards there, and there are also specialized officials responsible for supervision, so it's not easy to get their hands on them.
"Dai Quan, how come you know so much about this information!"
The key point is that the local officials in trouble are either their disciples or a series of officials, so it is impossible not to help.
Especially for some courtiers whose hometowns were in the areas hardest hit by the disaster, the size of their family fields expanded rapidly in a short period of time.
After receiving the reminder from Shijia's second brother after bowling, he quickly reacted and immediately made the most correct deployment.
The suggestion is very simple, it is to request that the food reserves in Huangzhuang be used for disaster relief!
Strictly investigating the burning of official warehouses in local areas can be slowed down, allowing other local officials with problematic official warehouses to feel lucky. However, the court must immediately send a trustworthy presence to the severely affected areas immediately, and the official warehouses controlled there can no longer be burned down.
.
Forcibly suppressing the unhappiness in my heart, I spoke in a calm tone.
However, for well-known reasons, it was not easy for the imperial court to provide enough food for disaster relief.
"Dai Quan, how many imperial villages are there near the capital, how many are there in areas severely affected by the disaster, and do you know their food reserves?"
Their idea of establishing Jinmen Port was also relayed to Jia Rong through Qin Keqing, but they knew that such an idea was not very reliable.
As for the burned-down official warehouse and the unknown amount of food in it, that is not considered.
Obviously, this mentality of the courtiers made him very unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about them.
If a city like Beijing, with a population of more than one million, is faced with a siege or is temporarily without external food supplies, it will need such strategic grain depots to support it for a long time.
In addition, the people are not short of food.
The most responsible local officials can barely maintain about 50% of the grain reserves in local official warehouses, and all of them are old grains.
Soon, the court officials also found out. Although they were equally shocked, they were not too surprised.
Today, I am furious and immediately order a strict investigation!
The old lady and Mrs. Wang are both used to the boss's temperament, how could they tolerate the yin and yang attitude of a junior Jia Rong?
The government and the public were shocked for a while!
Such an opportunity is very rare. Under the guidance of Jia Rong, the second son of the Baoling Hou Shi family sent a secret letter to Jin.
For example, communication with the Xifu next door would be more convenient and more harmonious if Qin Keqing took the initiative.
Of course, I was just surprised, but not panic-stricken. Except for the Ministry of Revenue, other court officials had little to do with the local government affairs.
Now he has realized that since the royal family has an imperial village, which of the courtiers does not have Zhuangzi? Don’t they know that Zhuangzi produces grain?
According to usual practice, the food reserves in the hands of the people can actually last until the beginning of next spring.
Disaster relief is the top priority right now. If some ambitious people appear and use local officials as a stall to confuse the people with a guilty conscience and burn down official warehouses, it will be a lot of fun.
The world has been at peace for so long that we obviously have no experience in dealing with related issues.
They all carry today's secret orders, the kind that can mobilize local garrison at critical moments.
If it were Jia Rong, she wouldn't be spoiled by the old lady and Mrs. Wang in the house next door. Although she wouldn't say anything directly hurtful, her yin and yang aura is indispensable.
This year's sudden severe cold weather only occurred in winter and did not affect the autumn harvest.
In addition, there are so many odd jobs in the capital, especially during the current cold and snowstorms, it is not difficult to find a temporary job to support your family.
There were not many refugees in the capital before, and there were even very few green-skinned gangsters who dared to cause trouble.
There was a daring local official who simply took away all the grain from the local official warehouse, leaving not a grain of grain left.
When encountering cold disasters or snow disasters, they are simply disasters. There are no accompanying troubles, and it is relatively simple to deal with them.
Since we don't want to touch the war preparation warehouse, and we don't want to spend more money to let some guys take advantage of it, we can only discuss with the courtiers what to do now.
Although the situation outside the city is worse, it is still within control.
The kind-hearted people of the court and the people, and the victims who need relief, that is, the remaining refugees, are not under great pressure.
Seeing that they were no longer as angry as when they first heard the news, some courtiers had already begun to intercede on behalf of some local officials who had burned down their official warehouses.
Coupled with the briquettes for heating, the palace will soon return to normal after receiving relief from the imperial court.
Due to heavy snow and road closures and cold weather, traffic in various places has been delayed to a certain extent.
After all, in some cases, Qin Keqing can completely do it for Jia Rong if it is inappropriate to say something or to disclose information that is inconvenient.
Now it seemed that he had been persuaded, and he did not rush to call the Third Law Division to send people to the local area to investigate, nor did he take any other drastic actions. Many courtiers secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Almost none of the local official warehouses had sufficient food reserves.
Now he is not a fool. He immediately reacted and asked curiously, but there was a strong sense of scrutiny deep in his eyes.
So when the refugees gathered outside the capital, the young men who were willing to work as miners in the coal mines were basically selected.
Half a month had passed by the time word spread to the capital that the local official warehouses in the counties where the severe disaster was located were suddenly taken over by imperial envoys.
The most serious problem is how to allocate sufficient food and grass to the disaster-severe areas as quickly as possible, otherwise there may be large-scale casualties due to the severe cold this winter.
Although it is not the time to pay special attention to one's posthumous reputation, he is not willing to involve his own reputation because of the greed and shamelessness of local officials.
Even if there is still a surplus of grain, we can take action to stabilize grain prices.
To be honest, despite the cold and snowstorms this year, the situation in Beijing and Zhili is pretty good.
In fact, as the place has been peaceful for a long time, many rules have become extremely lax.
In addition, the construction of the Tongzhou Wharf area and Jinmen Port requires a lot of labor participation, and also requires a large number of population supplements.
At this time, Shijia's second brother, who had performed well in bowling before, once again sent me a secret and made suggestions.
Things did not go beyond Jia Rong's expectations. As the imperial court ordered various places to open warehouses to release grain, news soon followed that official warehouses in various places were on fire.
Now he suddenly reacted and said in a deep voice: "The suggestions that Bao Linghou made before, plus this time, are all the credit of this guy?"
Dai Quan nodded silently and did not speak. He knew that there was no need for him to speak now.
"Hey, I didn't expect it to be this guy's method. I should have reacted long ago. The Bowling Marquis is not such a capable being!"
Now I don't mean to be angry, I just can't help but shake my head and sigh: "This guy always likes to hide behind the scenes, which is obviously a good thing, but he makes it seem like he can't see the light..."
