Chapter 2126 Gui Zi Scroll There is a lot of hustle and bustle, and all parties are on the stage
The staff obviously thought more deeply, "Sir, I'm afraid the Yulin Army can't give him so many people, right? When Feng Ziying was the Tongzhi of Yongping Prefecture, he organized Minzhuang to fight against the Mongolian invading army, and it was even bigger.
He won a complete victory, and this time he summoned Master Xie, the commander of the Dusi, could it be that he wanted to use the Dusi Guards Station as a structure to form a guard to deal with the rebels? "
The middle-aged Confucian scholar was Shaanxi Chengxu Envoy Sizuo Envoy Lu Chuan. Although he sent his staff to see Feng Ziying, Feng Ziying seemed a bit understated and was lukewarm to himself and the people sent by Sun Yijie. It seemed that they were
He had to observe it, which made Lu Chuan not very happy.
In Lu Chuan's view, even if Feng Ziying is a powerful dragon, without the support of a local snake like himself, he can't even think about opening up in Shaanxi, even if Sun Yijie supports him.
I never thought that Feng Ziying would not come to Xi'an at all, but settled in Yan'an, and stayed there for a month. It seemed that he was a little happy and reluctant to miss Shu in Yan'an. How could there be such a governor?!
The situation in Shaanxi became such a mess, and Lu Chuan knew it well. There were many reasons for this, and in a sense, it was even due to his own laissez-faire.
Sun Yijie was fighting with him. He originally wanted to use this chaos to drive Sun Yijie out of Shaanxi, or to completely overwhelm him, but he didn't expect that Sun Yijie was cunning. In the end, they had a tacit understanding and refused to confront him.
Conflict makes it impossible for me to find suitable opportunities for a while.
I didn't expect the drought to be so serious, and the local response was so weak, which led to chaos and swarms in various places. In the end, I could no longer control the situation.
Sometimes Lu Chuan himself wondered if he had made a mistake and got himself into trouble. Otherwise, why would the imperial court suddenly send a governor and directly cut off the possibility of him becoming the governor?
That's fine, but Feng Ziying's appointment as governor was already a bit awkward. A young boy in his early twenties who had just been a fourth-rank official for a short time could also serve as governor. Lu Chuan felt that the court was humiliating and dissatisfied with him.
an attitude.
And this Feng Ziying actually slapped herself in the face as soon as she came. Instead of coming to Xi'an, she stayed in Yan'an. She seemed to be doing it so well that she couldn't even sit or stand in Xi'an, and she didn't even know.
What should be done.
The staff members who were sent there were sent back in a non-committal tone, without any clear instructions, and they seemed to act as if they didn't exist, which made Lu Chuan very unhappy.
The problem is that in Yan'an, I am still a little beyond my reach, and even if I want to do something, it is inconvenient. Then Pan Ruzhen is not one of my people, which makes me very embarrassed.
"Forget it, if he wants to make trouble, let him do it. He is the governor and he is the biggest. Don't dig a hole for yourself and fall into it. He will have to come to us in despair to cover for him." Lu Chuan sneered.
He said, "I always feel that because I have done something before, I can go anywhere in the world. He will understand that Shaanxi is not that easy to deal with."
"Haha, the pony feels that the road is narrow at first, and the young eagle hates the sky for its first dance. The governor is too young and feels that it is very easy to work in Yongping Mansion and Shuntian Mansion. He probably feels that it is similar to Shaanxi, but he seems to have forgotten that in
In the capital, he can rely on teachers like Qi Ge Lao He, Shangshu Qiao and Yu Shi Qiao, but the sky is high and the emperor is far away in Shaanxi, there has been severe drought for many years, and the people are in chaos. If he can bring millions of corn, wheat or money, he may still be able to win
There was a lot of cheers, but it’s not okay to do it with bare hands.”
Seemingly aware that Dong Weng was not in a good mood, the staff could only follow the other person's tone, but finally changed the subject: "But it seems that Governor Feng has been to the northwest to fight the rebellion, right?
We are no strangers to the northwest, so why are we so naive? Do you really think that by recruiting a bunch of border troops, you can conquer the world and wipe out both the north and the south? "
The staff member's last words made Lu Chuan also fall into deep thought. Feng Ziying was not a young child and was no stranger to the northwest, and Datong was not far from Shaanxi. He had grown up in Datong, so how could he not understand the people of the northwest?
Not to mention there is a father.
"The imperial court still gave him 300,000 taels of silver, but I think this small amount of money is just a drop in the bucket and will not help the urgent need." Lu Chuan pondered for a moment, "Our news in northern Shaanxi is still too limited, Pan Ruzhen
That guy is unreliable, and the news he relays is all irrelevant. I have some doubts about whether this guy is.
Gui Zi Scroll? Chapter 183? There is a lot of hustle and bustle, and all parties are on stage.
It’s because I hugged Feng Ziying’s thick legs.”
"What your lord means..." the staff thought for a moment, "we still need to send more people there. In addition, many gentry in Yan'an Prefecture still have some knowledge. We might as well understand the situation through them. I don't believe that Governor Feng can get around it."
With these people, northern Shaanxi is short of food, and just relying on the few warehouses in Fuzhou County to store food cannot last for two days. We have to find these gentry to raise money. Then there will be a good show."
Lu Chuan nodded slightly, this was a problem that no one could solve.
Shaanxi is short of food, everywhere, and the food is in the hands of the grain merchants of the Jin gentry. No matter who comes out to yell, these gentry will only make a brief statement, which is considered to give some face to the local officials.
No one knows how long this drought will last, and the price of food will only get higher and higher. Everyone predicts that the price of food will rise by at least 30% until at least this winter and next spring.
As long as you hoard food, you will make a profit without losing anything, and you will make a lot of money. However, the possibility of large-scale transportation of food from outside is very small.
Shanxi and Henan themselves are suffering from drought. The cost of transporting grain from Huguang can drive up the price of grain.
Lu Chuan was also trying to figure out what Feng Ziying would do if he wanted to open up the situation, but he always felt that it was difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. He could not solve this problem no matter what if he had no food. He felt in his heart that if northern Shaanxi was to be in chaos, he would be allowed to do so. The court would
Unable to provide relief, there is nothing anyone can do without more than half of the population of over one million in the three prefectures of northern Shaanxi dying.
As for how to die, starving to death is too ugly and has a bad reputation, so it is better to let the rebel armies spread and let them fight and kill each other, while the government guards the county seat and the fortress, which is enough.
The best way is to introduce these rebellious people into Shanxi and Henan, and let them swarm to neighboring provinces to cause trouble. That way everyone will be happy, but this can only be kept in the stomach and cannot be said.
All he can do now is guard the Tongguan-Pucheng-Tongzhou-Tongguan line to ensure that the rebels do not advance westward to Xi'an. There is really nothing else he can do.
Feng Ziying felt that he was very capable, so let him go. After all, he was the governor, so she should listen to him now, and she would not be blamed for anything that happened.
Before, Lu Chuan thought that Feng Ziying's entry into Shaanxi was a major threat to him, but now it seems that it is a good thing that he has to toss in northern Shaanxi, at least it reduces the pressure on Xi'an.
He didn't believe what tricks Feng Ziying could do in northern Shaanxi. Without food, money, or even money, how could the more than one million hungry victims be appeased?
Feng Ziying, who is far away in Wubao, can actually guess what Lu Chuan and Sun Yijie are thinking now. In northern Shaanxi, under a severe drought, the surrounding areas are also food-deficient. How to solve the problem of survival of the hungry people, the gentry landlords
We have food with merchants, but asking them to hand over the food is tantamount to killing them. No government dares to destroy its own foundation.
But for Feng Ziying, it was simple. Everything was done by the bandits. He followed up to suppress the bandits and restored the situation. The local gentry and merchants should thank themselves.

"What's going on?" General Ye Xianggao slammed the letter in his hand on the table, with confusion and anger on his face. "They surrendered and rebelled again. These rebels in the border villages were so unruly that the court gave out
Are you not satisfied with such good conditions?"
Fang Congzhe, Li Sancai and Zhang Huaichang were all silent. After waiting for a while, Zhang Huaichang slowly said, "I'm afraid it's still a food problem. There are thousands of family members behind these border villages. Just to take care of these people, their relatives and friends
Therefore, the old family members cannot make a living, and they will definitely not be able to be comforted."
Everyone knows this problem, but there is no solution.
"Didn't Feng Keng collect grain from the local gentry?" Ye Xianggao's tone also softened.
"It must have been raised, but..." Zhang Huaichang shook his head.
The effect will definitely not be good. Who will hand over all the food when food prices are soaring? What kind of reward can the court give that can equal the benefits brought by the skyrocketing?
"What about Ziying's countermeasures?" Ye Xianggao's tone softened.
"This,..." Li Sancai also smiled bitterly, "It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, and she has done everything she can. As long as Ziying can control the situation, I don't think there is any need to be strict."
"What's the situation at Pingyang Mansion?" Ye Xianggao looked at Li Sancai again.
When Pingyang Mansion was mentioned, everyone frowned again.
Gui Zi Scroll? Chapter 183? There is a lot of hustle and bustle, and all parties are on stage.
Li Sancai took a deep breath and said slowly, "It's very bad. The Shaanxi rebels are constantly moving eastward to Hedong, but Chai Guozhu of Shanxi Town and Yang Yuan of Datong Town are slow to move. The reason is sufficient. They dare to go south only when they have all the food, grass and supplies."
Otherwise, if the border troops mutiny and become rebels again, it will really be another disaster."
"What's the current situation?" Ye Xianggao became a little impatient, "Daofu, I just want to listen to the truth."
"The three counties of Ronghe, Wanquan, and Wenxi were all affected. The victims of the disaster and hunger gathered in groups. Puzhou, Jiezhou, and Linjin also had the tendency to follow suit. Small groups of rebels rose up, and various places came to Taiyuan for emergency. Shanxi Governor
Both the Envoy and the Provincial Envoy have urgently reported to the capital, requesting that they be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise..."
Before Li Sancai finished speaking, Ye Xianggao was already angry, "Where are the various military stations? They are really just decorations. Shaanxi Dusi is a decoration, and Shanxi Dusi is also a decoration? I remember that the Ministry of War did not arrange people, but also allocated a sum of money
Is Qian Yin going to Shanxi to train troops? Where are the soldiers?"
Zhang Huaichang had to step forward to help soothe his cheeks, "Shanxi Town suffered too many losses. The Ministry of War trained some troops in Shanxi, but they were all transferred and replenished by Shanxi Town first, so..."
