Chapter 559 Already prepared

The vast army of refugees surged towards Shuozhou.

As the only way to pass through Pingyang County, every household closed their doors and windows, and the road leading to Wudu County was smooth and unobstructed.

The attitude of the Pingyang County Magistrate is obvious, that is, he is eager to send these refugees to Shuozhou as soon as possible.

Such movement naturally cannot be hidden from the eyes of Yunzhou.

At this moment, Cui Sanlun was teaching young officials such as Niu Jinyi in the Shuozhou Governor's Mansion.

The advantage of Gu Nanxi's emphasis on young students is that these students dare to think and act, are full of energy, and are not bound by the bad habits of officialdom.

The disadvantage is that these young students still have too little governance experience and are prone to act impulsively.

The arrival of Cui Sanlun has greatly made up for this shortcoming.

Cui Sanlun was sitting on a chair, and below him were a group of student officials who were attentive.

"Today, we are mainly talking about how to stabilize commodity prices. Among them, food prices are the most important issue for the people."

"At the beginning of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, four years after opening the treasure market, rice was expensive on the market, so the government imposed a fixed price of seventy yuan per bucket of rice."

Cui Sanlun turned his attention to a student below. He just proposed to fix the price of rice in Shuozhou, Yunzhou.

"But this price is too low. If we transport grain to Kyoto at this price, grain merchants will lose money. This will result in no one transporting rice to Kyoto at all."

"The rice originally stored in the city refuses to be sold, and the price of rice on the black market is getting more and more expensive. If it were you, what would you do?"

The student who proposed fixing the price of rice lowered his head in embarrassment.

He originally thought that the decision he proposed was foolproof, but he didn't expect that someone before him had already tried it.

Niu Jin and others had never heard of such a long time ago.

Although they studied various documents and historical policies in the academy, they only looked at the big aspects and rarely focused on details such as practical operations and food prices.

Niu Jinyi's eyes flashed: "Crack down on hoarding, set up role models, and hold relevant officials accountable."

Cui Sanlun shook his fan: "At that time, Zhou Taizu did the same thing. But until October, the price of rice still did not drop."

Niu Jinyi and his companions looked at each other.

Seeing that they had no other ideas, Cui Sanlun continued: "Later, we organized 100,000 shi of Jianghuai rice to be transported to Kyoto, which alleviated the crisis. After the canal was repaired, up to 5 million shi could be transported by water every year. Kyoto grain storage Food prices plummeted because of the abundance.”

"In the second year of Emperor Taizong's reign in the Zhou Dynasty, the market price of each bucket of rice reached a minimum of ten yuan."

Cui Sanlun raised another question to make everyone think: "But the low price of grain hurts farmers. Farmers have been busy for a year, and the grain they grow, after excluding taxes and converting it into money, is not even as good as the profit of a businessman in a month. This leads to more No one in Lai Yue wants to farm. If it were you, how would you solve it? ”

Niu Jin was meditating alone. Before he could figure it out, he saw someone coming to report.

"A large group of refugees entered Shuozhou from the direction of Hezhong County."

Cui Sanlun immediately dismissed get out of class and asked everyone to quickly deal with government affairs.

For these refugees, Shuozhou has already prepared a response from top to bottom.

At the gate of the county town, several iron pots were set up to cook gruel.

These porridges are very thin and can only guarantee that people will not starve to death. It is absolutely impossible to eat enough.

Next to the porridge shed, there is a person responsible for registration. What were the original occupations of the refugees? Is it a farmer, a blacksmith or a carpenter?

After a simple test and verification, they will be assigned to the relevant factory.

In this way, firstly, they can give full play to their strengths, and secondly, it can prevent refugees from the same hometown or even the same family from getting together, making governance more difficult.

As for the part without special skills, they will be sent to the mines in Shuozhou, and the other half will be sent to Yunzhou.

The infrastructure of Yunzhou was severely damaged, and the sixteen Youyun states and a large area of ​​grassland in the middle were included in the scope of Yunzhou.

The entire urban construction planning of Yunzhou must be started from scratch.

Wang Ziting and Pu Chang have been leading people to re-map the Yunzhou land.

There are also minerals on the grasslands, especially open-pit coal mines.

Then when carrying out urban planning, these minerals must be taken into consideration.

The fifth edition of Yunzhou city planning map has been approved by Gu Nanxi.

However, because the construction plan was too huge, Gu Nanxi decided to adopt a plan of building, developing, and planning at the same time.

Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)

Such a large number of refugees is enough to supplement Yunzhou's labor force.

Originally everything was in order, but after a group of people from the Red Lotus Sect arrived, the order of disaster relief was disrupted.

"Sir, the followers of the Red Lotus Sect gather at Tianlong Temple and send people to snatch rice porridge every day."

Niu Jin's eyes flashed with anger, these Red Lotus cultists were really ignorant! Is there any place in the world that is as willing to take them in as Shuozhou?

Niu Jin complained to Gu Nanxi: "They didn't dare to cause trouble at the gate of the county government, so they intercepted the refugees who were returning home with porridge along the way. If you are willing to join them, you only need to pay half of the rations. If you are not willing, not only will you be robbed If you take away food rations, you will be beaten severely.”

Gu Nanxi frowned. Normally, as long as this group of refugees was given a way to survive, it would be difficult for them to unite.

"Have you sent anyone to inquire?"

Niu Jinyi became even more angry: "Wudu County sent people there, and they asked Shuozhou to follow the Zhou Dynasty's policy to exempt monks who have ultimatums from corvee and tax. Allow the Red Lotus Sect to preach in Shuozhou."

Gu Nanxi blinked, not quite understanding what he meant: "An ultimatum? Isn't this something only Buddhist monks have?"

Niu Jinyi: "They say that the Red Lotus Sect is a branch of Buddhism, and the Red Lotus Empress they worship is the biological mother of Jin Chanzi."

What a departure!

People know a lot about Buddhism, but is your Red Lotus Sect such a branch? !

Gu Nanxi knew without even thinking that this was either a Huang Chao-like figure or someone was instigating it behind his back!

Gu Nanxi prefers the latter, because the teachings and organizational structure of the Red Lotus Sect are extremely rough and cannot withstand careful study.

If it was really Huang Chao, there was no way he could have done things so roughly!

……

In Tianlong Temple, the leading monks drank porridge and ate the meat in the pot.

"Gong Guo Yun is quite kind-hearted. Although the porridge is not thick, there is no sand in it."

Another person said in a muffled voice: "Do you want to take refuge with Duke Yun? Just give up on this idea. Have you not seen how Duke Yun dealt with these powerful people? If she knows what we have committed, Even if we peel off our skin, it’s considered light.”

"I'm just talking about it. What's the matter that the Lord asked us to do? It's not easy to handle. In such a small county, there are soldiers patrolling every day. The local people are very convinced of Duke Yun."

The leading fat monk narrowed his eyes and said, "All the wealth in Shuozhou is in Duke Yun's warehouse. As long as we take a little bit and find a place to hide it, no one can cause us any trouble!" ”

As for whether the ordinary believers of the Red Lotus Sect will be liquidated, it all depends on God's will!
