Chapter 389
Chapter 389 Can't be put in! Third update!
These problems are still very serious.
Food is the most important thing for people, and food is the most needed material for people at any time.
Fortunately, Wu Zhi had sent someone to transport the food from the Song Dynasty here as soon as possible.
The Song Dynasty had a lot of grain reserves, and the Liao Kingdom had already been overwhelmed by war.
After the war consumption of Liao and Jin, there was actually not much food reserved.
Wu Zhi has to dispatch these things.
Of course, it is probably a bit difficult for the food from the Song Dynasty to come, and the time will be delayed, so we can't count on it there.
Wu Zhi mobilized some of the food from Yanyun. After Wu Zhi's super high-quality seeds, there is now a surplus.
This needs to be arranged by him personally.
If corrupt officials mobilize these food and supplies, they may swallow some of them, resulting in serious consequences.
When the people were hungry, they would plunder everywhere to eat and gathered together to become rebels.
The situation is not optimistic now. Because when Wu Zhi came here, it had actually snowed for more than ten days in a row.
This is true in many areas of Yanyun and Liao.
The snow is not a small area, but a large area of continuous snow.
He inquired about a lot of news.
Disasters have occurred in the Liao Dynasty. Some people have finished storing grain, but cannot buy food. At this time, no one is willing to take out their own food.
This led to some people starting to starve and eating porridge to satisfy their hunger.
It is still in its initial stage. Fortunately, Wu Zhi came here early, otherwise, if a large area of this situation occurs, there will be rebellion again.
Just here, Jinzhou has been snowing continuously, and it is covered in white everywhere.
The heavy snow crushed the houses of some people. Most people's houses were overwhelmed and there was no place to live after the collapse.
This will lead to starvation and freezing.
If you have money, it’s better to have money, but if you don’t have money, you can only wait to die.
In fact, it is relatively stable to maintain public security in the city.
If you have relatives and neighbors with good relationships, you can still provide relief as long as you are not too short of money and survive the snow.
now.
The people outside the city are the worst because no one cares about them.
The city gate was closed and it was impossible to enter outside.
Seeing this, Wu Zhi quickly mobilized the food from the surrounding cities to prevent them, but the transportation was not so fast and he could only be retrieved from the city.
He had inquired about the situation here before. Yanyun was very big. Some places had a lot of grain reserves, so they asked them to mobilize some cities that were short of food. However, some officials in Yanyun were not arranged by Wu Zhi.
Some officials wanted to be foolish and didn't want to take it out, but because the person coming was Wu Zhi, I heard that Wu Zhi had even killed Cai Jing's son before, so these officials did not dare to be arrogant.
They all cooperated.
Not only that, after Wu Zhi arrived in Jinzhou, he summoned a group of grain merchants and told them that they were not allowed to raise the price of grain.
As well as some local officials, if anyone dares to collude with officials and businessmen, Wu Zhi will deal with it according to law.
These merchants were frightened to death when Wu Zhi brought all three huge guillotines, and their faces were pale. They kept nodding like a chicken pecking at the rice.
The fatty shopkeeper Yang said with a smile: "The King of Yan is joking, how dare the villains? We are all law-abiding businessmen and dare not do such unethical things."
Another thin businessman laughed and said, "Don't worry, King Yan, although we are merchants, we also know that some things cannot be done, and we will never raise the price of grain and guarantee it to be sold at the same price as usual."
In fact, they didn't think so before, and wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune.
This is a common problem among many merchants, but who knew that the King of Yan came from the Song Dynasty.
Yan Yun, there are many businessmen from the Song Dynasty who come to do business.
Some are natives.
After Wu Zhi left, these people discussed for a while.
"Everyone said, let's...
"Listen to King Yan! If you don't want to die!" A wealthy businessman said: "The King of Yan destroyed the Liao Kingdom and killed Cai Jing's son in Yanyun before. He was a ruthless man. If we don't listen to him, we may be killed!"
"I was from Liao before. If the King of Yan killed me, I'm afraid there is no need to submit a memorial to them, the Emperor of Song!"
Another businessman nodded fearfully: "Shopkeeper Wang is right. The Emperor of the Song Dynasty will not care about a Liao person. What's important is that the King of Yan also brought the Qingtian Guillotine of Bao Zheng of the Song Dynasty. Good guy, this is the one who kills officials. You can also kill first and then report. We little businessmen should not provoke the King of Yan!"
A group of businessmen reached a consensus.
Furthermore, King Yan is Yan Yun’s biggest king, so it is impossible not to be afraid.
If someone else comes to care about them, they may be slanderous, but the King of Yan is too famous and they are unwilling to take any risk.
Money and fate, they choose fate.
At this time, another businessman shook his head: "What a pity, the Liao Kingdom is gone..."
"My ancestors were originally from the Song Dynasty, and this is nothing to me. The Song Dynasty is so powerful that unifying the Liao Kingdom may not be a bad thing!"
Anyway, the few Liao people present have no Liao royal family, so it doesn't matter to the people as long as they can live a good life.
Everyone is acquaintance and can say anything.
As long as they don’t say bad things about Da Song at this moment, they will be fine!
A businessman smiled and said, "You guys don't want to say this King of Yan..."
"What's wrong with King Yan?"
“Looks so young!”
"Yes, I was already the King of Yan at a young age, with my own fiefdom, and I was the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty, and even the Prince's teacher!"
"Tsk tsk, this status and power are beyond my reach!"
Their face in the King of Yan is not worth mentioning. Since the King of Yan is here, how dare they do anything to do anything.
Of course, there are also people who can wait and see.
For example, Zhangguin Yang, who is fat and has very white skin, has his eyes flashing and he thought that if they don’t raise the price, this is undoubtedly a bigger business opportunity. If he is ahead, it will definitely be a huge profit!
But Manager Yang just thought about it and saw King Yan just now, he didn't dare to do this.
now.
After Wu Zhi summoned the matter, he went out.
In addition to a series of orders, Wu Zhi is also observing the situation here.
Standing on the city wall, Wu Song asked next to him: "Brother, look below, it seems that many victims are coming to the city, but the city gate is not open, and they can't get in!"
Wu Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked over. Sure enough, he saw some ragged and thin people under the city trembling with cold, and wanted to hide in the city.
Before, Wu Zhi also came in through the city gate, but the officers and soldiers here heard that it was King Yan, so they opened it immediately.
But no one cares about these victims.
In Yanyun territory, Wu Zhi has the greatest status.
Next to Wu Zhi, there was a man standing.
The magistrate of Jinzhou, this is a thin man in his forties. His body was involuntarily shortened half in front of Wu Zhi, and he smiled respectfully: "Sir, what should these people do? Should you let them in?"
Wu Zhi looked at the prefect next to him and said, "What if it is your opinion?"
The magistrate was frightened: "If you follow the officials, you should put them in. It is so cold outside that they may freeze to death outside, and they will not survive for two days!"
"These should be victims from other places, and they want to find shelter in the city!"
Wu Zhi nodded after hearing this: "Your idea is very good, but these people can't let them in!"
"Oh?" The magistrate's man looked shocked. He never expected Wu Zhi not to let him in?
Didn’t the King of Yan come to rescue the disaster?
But this is also good, just in line with what he really wants.
What do these untouchables do?
