Chapter 192(1/2)
Disasters must be relieved.
But where does the food come from?
The Shaofu and the Ministry of Revenue were short of food in stock, which made Emperor Yongtai angry and got angry.
If it was not for the time being that the replacement was not appropriate, Emperor Yongtai really wanted to dismiss the Shaofu family order and the Minister of Revenue to investigate and select other talents and competent ones.
Disaster relief is urgent.
What's even more serious is that the disaster is getting worse and worse, and it is still expanding.
More and more places are in drought, with no rain for a short period of time and no rain for half a year.
It is normal for rivers to break down.
It is not uncommon for the well to dry up.
The implication is that not only farming is short of water, but also drinking water for people and animals has begun to show water shortage.
This is deadly.
People can not eat for a day, but they cannot drink water for a day.
A few consecutive discussions on the celestial court.
Emperor Yongtai forced court officials to pay for food and money to provide relief to disasters.
In order to achieve his goal, he did not hesitate to kill the officials.
He killed three officials in one breath and finally barely suppressed all kinds of opposition from the court.
Just like when the rebellion between the princes and kings was put into operation, the major families distributed food and went to major disaster areas to provide relief.
The idea is beautiful. Whether it can be realized depends on the conscience of the aristocratic family and whether the emperor's orders can leave the capital.
After all, the last time the aristocratic family distributed grain and helped the court to defeat the princes and kings because it involved a large amount of exchange of interests. The aristocratic families were naturally willing to pay for grain.
But this time, feeding food to provide disaster relief will not be of any benefit to the aristocratic families.
Letting the victims survive means that the amount of land they buy at a low price will be affected.
The number of Tianshou will also be affected.
If anyone can survive, no one is willing to sell himself as a Tiannu.
If you sell yourself as a slave, you are really a slave!
Every day, I work until dark, and I don’t have enough food and clothing, and I’m not as good as pigs and dogs. I don’t have to rest for 365 days a year until I die.
If you want to avoid farm work by being sick and raining, dream!
Tian Nu is not a domestic slave, and he is not qualified to not work if he is sick and rainy.
I will be a Tian Nu for one day and a Tian Nu for life. I will never get out of it for the rest of my life until I die.
The aristocratic family holds a lot of land in their hands and needs a large number of people to farm.
Using a slaughter is economical.
With just a little ration, you can get a free labor force.
It is cheaper than using oxen to plow the land.
Because the cattle eat too much, they have to keep fat, send people to herd, and also need a veterinarian...
People only need to eat a little, and they can go to work on the ground every day when they are hungry.
If you can't do it, just beat it!
If you work too slowly, you will fight!
How cheap is a land slave? It only costs a little money to work until you die.
It's really more cost-effective than raising cattle and horses.
Natural disasters are carnivals of aristocratic families.
The victims are in hell deep in the world, and the aristocratic family will step on them.
Therefore, disaster relief is not of any benefit to the aristocratic families.
Even if the people are in chaos, it will not affect them.
They have troops and private soldiers.
A group of refugees who were like native chickens and dogs were in trouble, so how could they fight against a group of full-time soldiers?
The aristocratic family doesn't care about the victims.
But the emperor cares!
The country and the country need these victims to support it.
Never be confused.
When chaos arises, aristocratic families are still thousands of years old.
The country and the country may change dynasties.
Emperor Yongtai knew that the aristocratic family would not really provide disaster relief, but he had no choice. He could not force the court officials too ruthlessly.
I just regret that the Ministry of Revenue and the Shaofu are incompetent and do not have enough food.
If you have enough food, you need to ask your grandparents to sue you.
Sun Bangnian quietly proposed, "Why would you send the Jinwu Guard out of Beijing to supervise the disaster relief of the aristocratic families. If someone disobeys the situation, let the Jinwu Guard go out, arrest people, and kill a group of people directly!"
This move is cruel enough and can also shock people.
but……
Emperor Yongtai thought about it carefully, shook his head and rejected Sun Bangnian's proposal, "No! I can't force it too ruthlessly, otherwise they will unite and I will have big trouble."
Sun Bangnian sighed secretly.
Your Majesty still lacks a little bit of ruthlessness, especially when facing the aristocratic family.
His Majesty was vicious enough to deal with the princes of the same surname and was determined.
But when dealing with the aristocratic family, it was obvious that His Majesty was reluctant to let go and killed him.
Sun Bangnian expressed his concerns, "The old slave was worried that the aristocratic family would not only not provide disaster relief, but would instead raise prices, forcing the people to sell their children and daughters. The old slave heard that the interest rate of some money houses has reached 80 cents a month, and the profit is still rising, just like robbing money."
Emperor Yongtai's face turned pale.
He couldn't hear such news, and when he heard it, he was full of anger, but he couldn't get angry.
He knew very well the boss behind those money shops.
But so what if he knows it, even if he is the emperor, he cannot easily touch those money houses.
Unless, he is ready to break up with the aristocratic family.
He gritted his teeth and just kept silent.
Sun Bangnian sighed secretly, "Your Majesty, Jinwu Guard cannot be idle."
"Shut up!"
Emperor Yongtai scolded sternly, "What else do you have to do except let the Jinwu Guard go out of the capital to kill people? Now someone needs disaster relief, not killing people."
"The old slave is guilty of death!"
Sun Bangnian knelt on the ground and kowtowed to apologize.
He was also anxious, so he said something he shouldn't have said.
If it were on weekdays, he would definitely not say a word.
If the conversation spreads today, the aristocratic family will definitely kill him.
He actually dared to instigate the emperor to send out Jinwu Guard to kill people. A thief is not enough to pacify the world without killing it.
Emperor Yongtai took a deep breath, "Get up! Don't talk nonsense in the future! I have my own plans for disaster relief."
"promise!"
Sun Bangnian was sweating heavily and was trembling.
The following court discussions were still arguing most of the time.
Everyone says disaster relief, but there is no movement for a long time.
Everyone dragged it, insisted on dragging it until it couldn't be dragged on.
...
Zhong Shuyun beat and scolded a maid, then had an attack early and entered the delivery room.
After a day and night of suffering, I gave birth to a brother as I wished.
She was satisfied.
The third prince Xiao Chengyi was also smiling and sent someone to the palace to report the good news as soon as possible.
To be continued...
