God-level Great Hunjun System

After Zhao Tai got off his horse and knelt down, the soldiers under him breathed a sigh of relief, and the audience fell to their knees.

Yan Hao immediately ordered Zhao Tai to be taken down, and he himself sat in the governor's office to interrogate Zhao Tai for his crimes!

In addition, in order to ensure Yan Hao's safety, Qi Yun personally took people to inform Lingling Dutongsi to send troops to Lingling City!

After seeing the token presented by Qi Yun, Zhihan, the general of Lingling Dutongsi, did not dare to be negligent, and led 5000 troops to station in Lingling City without stopping that night. With military power in hand, Yan Hao finally gained complete control of Lingling!

So the next step is the interrogation of the governor Zhao Tai.

Zhao Tai was still stubborn at first, but he thought he could conceal his crime after talking about him.But when the people from the Women's Department sorted out some clues they had, and Yan Hao was identified by Huang Chenyu, the county magistrate of Donghu County, he had confidence in his heart and interrogated him harshly, finally breaking through the psychological defense of Zhao Tai, an old fox.

So Zhao Tai committed the crime of misappropriating funds for water conservancy construction to fill the shortfalls of other departments, and colluding with county chiefs to sell relief food.

"Zhao Tai, the crime you committed was originally a capital crime, and it is not an exaggeration! But now that you plead guilty, I will give you a chance to make meritorious deeds. You have to identify all the people involved in Lingling County. , if you can confess everything, I will consider to spare your life, if there is a little concealment, I will let your head fall!" Yan Hao shouted.

Zhao Tai kowtowed to thank him: "Your Majesty, the criminal must have no reservations and tell everything he knows!"

So under Zhao Tai's confession, Yan Hao launched an operation to clean up the Internet in the entire Lingling area. All the officials involved in this matter were arrested, and the number of them was nearly a hundred. It can only be said that Lingling County is rotten to the bone up!

Dealing with these offending officials is only the first step. The most important thing now is to completely solve the disaster in Lingling County!

But now the situation here is like a puddle of mud, and there is no reliable internal affairs personnel around Yan Hao. At this time, he misses Wang Meng, Fan Li and others very much. Relying on himself, he can still grasp the general strategy. On the political side, it's almost meaningless.

At this time, Yan Hao thought of a person, Dean He, whom he had heard about at Yuelu Academy that day, and immediately sent someone to invite him out.

"Craftsman He Mu, pay homage to Your Majesty!" Dean He was dressed in commoner clothes, with fluttering sleeves, and a childlike face with white hair. He really looked like a tall man.

Yan Hao quickly took his hand: "Teacher He, facing the situation in Lingling County, I am helpless, please teach me!"

"Your Majesty beat me!" He Mu was taken aback, but he was very moved when he saw Yan Hao being so courteous as a corporal.

"Your Majesty, to be honest, Caomin has been thinking about the disaster situation in Lingling County for the past few days, and he has drawn up several disaster relief plans in his heart. Now that His Majesty trusts him, he dares to speak out."

"Mr. He, please tell me!"

"Your Majesty, there are five problems in this disaster. Officials and merchants bandit food. If any of them are not properly dealt with, the disaster will worsen. If officials act recklessly and embezzle disaster relief funds and food, no matter how much disaster relief supplies the court has, they will only be in vain. Shang If we take the opportunity to make money from the country and raise prices, it will lead to the collapse of market order."

"Bandit means that the victims cannot wait for relief and are forced to become bandits. Banditry will further worsen the disaster and make the situation uncontrollable. Food is the foundation of disaster relief. People are like iron rice and steel. With so many victims in Lingling, it is necessary to Just eat so much food. If the food is not in place, then everything is empty talk."

"Finally, we must strictly prevent the plague. Floods and food shortages caused a large number of people to die. If the situation is not dealt with properly, if the plague breaks out, it will not be a disaster for a county or a county, but a disaster for the entire Wei Dynasty."

He Mu talked eloquently, and Yan Hao couldn't stop nodding his head in approval.Older gingers are more spicy!The five points that He Mu said hit the nail on the head and were concise and to the point. From what he’s seen along the way, his understanding of the disaster is roughly the same, but he’s not capable of summarizing it so concisely into five words: “Government and business banditry disease” do it.

"Since Mr. He has seen the matter so clearly, what is the solution?"

"Your Majesty, the disaster relief measures are nothing more than starting from these five points, and taking precautions against these five points, the disaster situation should be resolved."

"One is to completely open the warehouses to release grain, as His Majesty did in Donghu County. Now that human lives are at stake, many officials in various places are still hesitating, looking forward and backward, which will only lead to the loss of the period of disaster relief. In my opinion, now Some grain stores are simply emptied and distributed to the common people!"

"After opening the granary and releasing the grain, the current stock of grain cannot meet the needs of disaster relief, so the second is to continue to raise grain and grass. This requires His Majesty to coordinate the overall situation. In addition to the loss of grain from the treasury, the neighboring Minyue Road, Jiangning Road has a bumper harvest this year, so we can properly borrow grain from nearby areas, and we can also buy grain from merchants. In short, we must try our best to supplement grain.”

"Third, in the process of raising food and distributing food, strictly investigate corrupt officials and officials to ensure that there are no omissions in every link, and all the food transferred can be distributed to the hands of the people. In addition, we must severely crack down on maliciously driving up food prices. merchants, to ensure that food can be bought at a fair price everywhere.”

"Fourth, we must actively repair houses in various places, so that refugees who have nowhere to go can return home as soon as possible, so as to stabilize social order. In addition, we must strengthen the embankment to prevent the disaster from recurring and aggravating the disaster in the short term."

"Fifth, the government should arrange errands for the disaster victims who are unemployed to ensure that they can maintain their livelihoods and not become thieves when they are desperate. In order to create more errands, the government can fund the construction of water conservancy, streets, and large-scale construction projects. It can enable more people to participate in project construction and maintain social stability."

"Sixth, if a corpse is found in the whole county, it must be buried by hand to prevent the plague from appearing. Doctors should also be organized to see a doctor in a county clinic to save the dying and heal the wounded."

"Finally, all taxes for this year should also be reduced or exempted to comfort people's hearts."

After listening to He Mu's words, Yan Hao clapped his hands and said, "Mr. He's speech is too good, so I'll do as you say!"

He Mu's disaster relief measures are basically comprehensive and very reasonable.Yan Hao thought of the 1929 economic crisis in the United States in history. Didn’t the construction of the Tennessee River water conservancy project create employment opportunities, reduce the unemployment rate, and maintain economic stability and balance?Now He Lao's measures also have a bit of internal flavor.

This trick can kill two birds with one stone, it can stabilize the people's hearts, and secondly, the water conservancy project in Lingling County has a big problem, and it must be repaired immediately to ensure that similar things will not happen in the coming year.

So Yan Hao used He Mu as his staff to mobilize the local defenders to participate in the disaster relief, the staff of the Ladies Department assisted in the administrative management, and Zhao Tai took part in the command of the disaster relief for his crimes and meritorious service.

After more than ten days, Yan Hao personally supervised the battle and finally achieved very good results. The disaster situation has basically stabilized, the refugees are slowly returning to their places of residence, the porridge factory is gradually supplied with food, and the offending officials are basically They were all arrested, seeing the dawn of the end of the disaster coming.

But at this moment, Zhao Tai reported to him that the price of grain in Lingling County was suppressed by the government to a parity position, but a new problem appeared. A situation where there is a price but no market.If merchants do not sell grain, the efficiency of the government's grain raising will be greatly reduced, which will greatly affect the disaster relief work.

"It's hard, it's hard." Yan Hao's face turned into a bitter gourd again. After finally suppressing the food price, a new problem appeared, which made him helpless. Even He Mu was helpless, and sighed that he had nothing to do. Anticipating this, the two of them could only stare wide-eyed.

In the end, Bao Si suggested that Yan Hao Feige send a letter to the top counselors in the capital for help.

That day when Bao Si calmly used the emperor's portrait to prove Yan Hao's identity in the crisis, Yan Hao was impressed, and he respected this cold beauty a little more.So he immediately wrote a letter to the capital cabinet, but he didn't expect to get a reply from Wang Meng the next day.

The content of Wang Meng's letter is very simple: Your Majesty, please let go of the price of food, let the price of food rise, and food will be available soon.

Yan Hao was dumbfounded when he heard this, and if he let go of the grain price, wouldn't those businessmen go against the sky?When the price of food is too high, won't the whole market collapse?Isn't this to force the people to death?

However, out of trust in Wang Meng, Yan Hao still dubiously canceled the policy of reducing grain prices, but kept punishing malicious price hikes and joint price control behaviors, and did not limit the reasonable increase of grain prices.

Unexpectedly, less than three days after the government issued this policy, businessmen from Jiannan Road, Baling Road, Jiangning Road and other places continued to deliver grain to Lingling!It turned out that businessmen saw that the rise in food prices was profitable, so they flocked here, hoping to take this opportunity to make a fortune.

After being transported to Lingling, considering the actual purchasing power of the people in Lingling, the merchants did not set the price too outrageously. After all, the price of food here is already much higher than other regions, and the merchants are not too unscrupulous.In the end, the price of food only increased by about 30%, which was within an acceptable range, but it greatly alleviated the problem of food shortage in Lingling!

What is even more surprising is that as more and more merchants transported grain, the fierce competition caused some merchants to lower the price of grain, and finally the price of grain slowly fell back to normal!

At this time, Yan Hao can only sigh Wang Meng's foresight!

In fact, not only Wang Meng, some people have seen this in real history.According to Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Bi Tan", when there was a grain shortage in Hangzhou, the price of rice skyrocketed. Fan Zhongyan, the prefect of Hangzhou, posted a list, not only did not ask for a reduction in grain prices, but continued to increase the price to buy grain. , fearing the future, and worrying about the latter. As the rice converges, the price will also decrease."

This is the operating mechanism of the market economy. No matter what age, those who respect the laws of the market will receive gifts from the market.Of course, only a truly wise man can see this, like Fan Zhongyan and Wang Meng.

Chapter 202 Selling Women

"Master, the county seat of Donghu County has arrived!" Yu Jianji in front reported to Yan Haohui.

When everyone came to the gate of Donghu County, they found that there were more than a dozen carts waiting to enter the city. After careful observation, Yan Hao concluded that these were transport carts sent by the superior government to deliver grain.

Yu Baizhi asked strangely: "This is so strange, there are so many grain trucks, why is there not enough grain for the porridge factory?"

"Baizhi, you are too simple. Sometimes there is no food in the porridge factory, but it doesn't mean there is really no food!" Yan Hao said in a mysterious way.

Yan Hao led everyone into the county town, and found that it was a completely depressed scene. There were basically no vendors on the street, only begging and people living on the street.

"Master, you can do me a favor and ask a higher price, so that we, father and daughter, can survive."

Everyone passed by the gate of a large mansion, and saw a middle-aged man kneeling in front of a master in fine clothes, begging bitterly.

"No, no, it's just two taels of silver. If you want to take it, you can keep her, and if you don't want to, you can pull her down!" said the man in fine clothes, pointing to a little girl next to the man.

Seeing this, Qi Yun scolded in a low voice: "Another trash who wants to sell his daughter for money!"

"Two taels of silver, master, this is my daughter! You are a wealthy businessman in Donghu County, a few taels of silver is nothing to you, but it will save our family's life." The middle-aged man burst into tears road.
