Chapter 161 Chaos in the court and food shortage

With the help of people with good intentions, this action of Lantian County quickly spread throughout the entire Gyeonggi area.

The officials naturally took an optimistic attitude towards Lan Tian's actions.This matter is definitely a thankless task. No matter whether it is good or bad, it will not end well in the end.Therefore, watching from the sidelines is naturally the best way.

But the people in the Gyeonggi area don't think so.Such a good thing should be available in all states and counties. Why is it that only Lantian enjoys such benefits now.That won't work, let's make trouble too.

So the other county magistrates who were preparing to watch the excitement with their arms folded were all dumbfounded at the moment.Damn, who has the ability to mess around with Luo Yan.Don't mention the consequences, even if you are too courageous, if you want to join in the fun, there is no way out.Lantian County dared to do this, and the court had transferred a lot of benefits from the treasury.

Thinking that a small county like myself would not touch the sky, and if he wanted to rely on the little money and food from the treasury, he couldn't do it at all.

However, the common people were pressed too hard, and they went to the county government every three days to make trouble.Why can people in Lantian get land loans, but we can't? Aren't we the people of the Tang Dynasty?For a while, the entire Gyeonggi region fell out completely.

If they don't have the courage and ability to learn from Luo Yan, then these people will pour all their resentment on Luo Yan.You can do it, okay, then we will let you do it.

The memorials like snowflakes flew into the city of Chang'an just like that.Everyone said that he, Luo Yan, only cared about his own limelight and didn't care about the life and death of his colleagues.This is just a few sour words.Some people are more ruthless, trying their best to put pressure on the household department under the pretext that they also want to engage in land loans.What's more, they directly attacked Luo Yan personally.

Some people say that it is unrighteous for a scholar to act as a peddler.Some said that he was simply competing with the people for profit and seriously violated the corvee system established by Li Yuan in the seventh year of Wude.There are also some who are more ruthless, combining these things of Luo Yan with self-interest, intending to make more money in office.

This is just a place, and the real waves will be caused when the incident spreads to the court.

Although Li Shimin supported a large number of high-ranking officials from poor families when he took office.But above the court, there are still a large number of spokespersons for various interest groups.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows what Luo Yan did in Lantian has had a severe impact on the power of the noble gentry.Without a large amount of land as support, the strength of the aristocratic family will be greatly weakened.This is not what they want to see.

Another court meeting.As soon as Li Shimin warmed up the dragon bed, these people jumped out and began to attack Luo Yan.

"Your Majesty, in the seventh year of Wude's tenure and regulation, it is strictly forbidden to compete with the people for profit. In the law of land loan, ten thousand is loaned out and eleven thousand is redeemed. What Luo Yan is doing now is to use land loan In the name of fighting for profit, the crime should be exiled for thousands of miles." The people at Yushitai are the first to attack.

Originally thought that Luo Yan would be able to be stable for a while after being transferred out of the capital, but who would have thought how long it would be, and just messed around like this.Some of them don't stand on any interest side, but they can't see that Luo Yan will charge [-]% interest when he redeems the land loan.These people naively think that when ordinary people borrow money, they should give in as much as they want.

Luo Yan had already explained this to Li Shimin in the memorandum, so Li Shimin said flatly: "If you don't charge the interest, the common people will use the money from the land loan as capital, and willfully engage in peddling. It's all messed up."

"Then this matter should be banned. Completely cut off the source of this disaster." Following Li Shimin's words, these people directly stated their purpose.

"Then how did I hear that in all the counties of Gyeonggi, the people are making trouble in the county government, begging to let go of this opening, allowing all counties to get land loans?" Anyway, this public opinion is also very useful in the court. Of course, Li Shimin wanted to block this matter first, and then slowly see how Lantian's results are.

"Those civilians are short-sighted, so they don't know how powerful it is. If this continues in the future, everyone will not think about farming well, but will only think about exchanging land loans for money. When all the land in the world is not in the government, sooner or later, it will be returned again. In the hands of the common people. In this way, the national treasury is wasted, how can we wait for one or two people to atone for it with death." Wei Zheng said with his usual sharpness and integrity, without giving Li Shimin any face.

"It is precisely because of such concerns that we tried it out in Lantian. Moreover, Luo Yan also specifically said in Lantian that the limit for each Dingtian loan is only [-]. You can calculate it, and basically it will not have much impact. .”

"Even so, [-] is too much. If everyone in the state and counties of the world is like this, the treasury can't afford it. Your Majesty ordered Luo Yan to stop this matter as soon as possible, so as to save his life for nothing." Li Shimin's explanation did not give way. If you say no, it just won't work. No matter how good your explanation is, I also object.

Seeing that Wei Zheng's words had the upper hand at this moment, those interest advocates jumped out to second him. "I think that even now, this Luo Yan should be punished. Such a trend is really hindering the implementation of the government."

"The minister agrees with Wei Zuocheng's opinion. It is better to let Luo Yan stop this matter early, so as to save his life and reputation in the end."

……

Li Shimin became angry when he saw the sudden bustling in the hall.To put it bluntly, it seems that you are determined not to give me face, right?Immediately, he threw the memorabilia in his hand onto the table with a snap, and said angrily: "You only think about the bad, what is it that blinded your eyes? Could it be that this matter is not good at all. I have been careful, and I only let you This is a trial in Lantian County. It has just started to improve, and you want to stop it. What kind of intentions do you have? You, and you, tell me, what are you doing, and there is no harm in it?"

Seeing that Wei Zheng was still about to speak, Li Shimin stopped him and said, "You have read a lot of books, so you know that there are people who choke to death and want to forbid food in the world, isn't it?" Set the tone for Luo Yan's affairs in Lantian.In this matter, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. If you object again, I will be really angry.

Hearing what Li Shimin said, the courtiers didn't want to make a fuss over the matter, so there was no voice of objection for the time being.However, this matter is definitely not over yet. Many people are still waiting for something to happen in Lantian, and then Li Shimin will have nothing to say.

However, these people are destined to be disappointed.The incident in Lantian has not caused any disturbances yet, but the whole Guanzhong is already in a state of chaos.Just a few days after this court meeting, all the places suddenly discovered that the price of rice under their own control had risen to more than sixty yuan a bucket.

The Ping An Rice Shop in Lantian County is considered a fairly large grain store in the entire county.It's not about how big its place is, but how hard its backstage is.

Standing behind the Ping'an rice shop is the biggest gentry in the area, He Mingde.Of course, people called him He Quide behind his back.This ancestor has been a gentry for several generations. During the years of war, he survived by luck. Although he lost a lot of money, the foundation is still there.In the past few years, he has bought and sold grain extensively, and by the way, he has also controlled many shops in the county, and the family property has actually grown bigger and bigger.

Every year He Kuide buys a large amount of grain and saves it, just waiting for the turn of spring and summer to make money.Therefore, Ping'an Mipu has the most grain in Lantian County.

On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, people who came to Ping'an Rice Shop to buy rice suddenly found that the price of rice had increased by eight cents overnight.

Faced with such a price increase, it was almost like killing people. Among the people who came to buy rice, there was a tall and big man who immediately became unhappy.Cursing in his mouth: "He Quide is a man with bad water in his stomach. The black hearts of eighteen generations of ancestors have grown on him. A bucket of rice has increased by eight cents overnight. Think your grandfather is a fool."

Cursing and cursing, she turned and left with a shriveled bag on her back, ready to visit another grain store.At this time, if you still stay here, it is because your brain is missing a string.

I saw the clerk of the rice shop spitting at the distant figure, and said arrogantly: "Hey, a poor man, you want to buy it, but grandpa doesn't want to sell it. If you can buy it in Lantian today, it will be better than grandpa's." Cheap rice, grandpa will kneel down and kowtow three times for you."

A large circle of people around thought this guy was talking angry, and they laughed as they walked in front of a joke.Who would have thought that this person really hit the spot.

In such a large Lantian County, there are at least a dozen rice shops, and there is no one whose rice has not increased by more than ten Wen.In the end, the rice from Ping'an Mipu is really cheaper.Knowing that the market is like this, the people ran back one after another, no matter how much it rose overnight, let's buy more while it is a few pennies cheaper.

However, these people were destined to be tricked by the people from Ping'an Mipu.It's cheap, so of course there are no good ones. When I get it, I realize that it's all old rice.However, the people who are born students still say plausibly, anyway, the money and the goods get paid, and they don't want to come here in the future.

This is so wicked, it really doesn't mean to accumulate virtue at all.

However, Chen Mi is Chen Mi, anyway, it can fill the stomach.What's more, it's a few pennies cheaper, so I can buy more rice in the future, right?

However, the situation has not improved over time.Those who grabbed the food early were lucky. The price of food rose every day, and every increase cost three or four pennies.It was like this, and Luo Yan's land loan was included, so he could still get by.However, on the day when the food price rose to [-] cents, the world suddenly changed.

The people who got up early in the morning and waited in front of the rice shop before dawn were frightened by a sign hung lazily by the rice shop clerk at the moment of sunrise.

"No food."

That's right, just these two words.Even the illiterate people are familiar with these two words.Panic immediately took over my heart, if this one doesn't work, let's look at the next one.But within half a street, he was shocked by the news that another rice shop ran out of food.

For a time, all the rice shops in Lantian County ran out of food on the same day.
