Chapter 554 Assisting in disaster relief, Wang Zheng and Li Zhehua’s wavering

"Sure enough, you are still going to be tricked."

After hearing the news from Huang Rong, Li Sen looked at Huang Rong with an expression on his face as if he was taken advantage of.

"Do not.

I don't think this is a trap, I think it is an opportunity. "

Seeing the teasing expression on Li Sen's face, Huang Rong became even more excited.

"All the capitals in Lingnan Province suffered from floods in the summer, but the court and the governor-general's office provided timely relief, and coupled with our large sales of [Qu Mi Pills], there were not many casualties among the people in each capital, but there was a large-scale reduction in grain production."

"The imperial court wants me to provide food for disaster relief. This is an excellent opportunity to earn fame and popularity.

I will definitely take advantage of it. "

"Haha, believe it or not, once your food arrives, those corrupt officials will first withhold 30%, then the corrupt officials will withhold 30%, and the merchants in the middle will withhold 20%. In the end, only 20% will be in the hands of the people at most."

Seeing how excited Huang Rong was, Li Sen struck her unceremoniously, and then reminded:

"Huang Rong, the Baiyun Mountains now have a population of nearly 500 million. You have started cultivation for all the people, and you consume a huge amount of food every day.

Although we can achieve four crops a year, and the yield is higher than that of ordinary farmland, to support such a large population, our food reserves are actually not very large. "

"I have also taken this into consideration. Our high-quality, high-yielding rice seeds are promoted in Chongwu County in the summer. The yield is 1500 kilograms per mu, which is five times that of existing rice. We..."

"Then why not hurry up and promote it in a big way!"

Li Sen shouted loudly to stop what Huang Rong wanted to say!

When rice is planted, it becomes seeds, and when eaten, it becomes rice.

If you know that there are high-quality grains, instead of planting them, you will eat them and provide disaster relief. You are not a fool, right? !

Even in the Baiyun Mountains, [Starlight Rice] is rarely eaten. They basically eat various grains bought from outside at a high price.

More rice is saved and planted continuously, and it is not until this summer harvest that it can be eaten freely.

Unexpectedly, Huang Rong was planning to use it for disaster relief?

This is absolutely stupid!

Huang Rong calmed down a little after hearing Li Sen's lesson about grabbing the white spot.

But after thinking for a while, she still said stubbornly:

"Starlight rice is really not suitable for disaster relief. Our existing ordinary grain reserves are 500 million tons, but it can be used for disaster relief. We can eat more fish. If there are not enough fish in the fishing grounds, we can drive big boats to the sea to catch fish. .

I will never give up this opportunity. I want to compete with the Dog Emperor for popularity and prepare for the next step. "

"..."

Li Sen reluctantly gave her a thumbs up and did not persuade her. Huang Rong was obviously anxious.

And very anxious.

While transporting grain, she allowed the people of Baiyun Mountain and Quanzhou Prefecture to expand their cultivation of Starlight Rice;

While increasing the import of coal and ore, blacksmith shops were built one after another, and the sound of clanging could be heard everywhere.

Externally, it is said that it is making agricultural tools to help the disaster-stricken people resume production, but in fact, most of the time is spent on making various weapons;

An atmosphere of war enveloped the Baiyun Mountains.

All warriors also began to increase their training in military formations.

Li Sen saw this and felt happy in his heart. Huang Rong was finally doing something serious.

……

Fuzhou Prefecture, Governor's Office.

Li Zhehua looked at the [System] in his hand with a look of helplessness.

Emperor Zhao Kuo ordered that commercial taxes, agricultural taxes, and mining taxes be levied to raise military funds to deal with the war in the north. Among them, the relatively stable areas of Guangdong, Guangxi, Lianghu, Jiangnan, Lingnan, and along the rivers had the most tax increases.

He could already imagine how much public outrage this decree would cause once it was issued.

"Old Li, have you received the decree?"

Commander-in-Chief Wang Zheng walked away quickly with a depressed look on his face, came in, and asked as soon as he came.

"Old Wang, is your decree a [system] or an [imperial edict]?"

Li Zhehua did not directly ask Wang Zheng what the decree was, but made insinuations. However, Wang Zheng directly handed him the yellow silk cloth in his hand without any hesitation.

The order above was very simple. Wang Zheng was asked to immediately dispatch 30 troops to the Western Hubei Road to defend the front line of Wancheng and prevent the Mongolian and Yuan coalition forces from continuing southward.

However, Wang Zheng was also asked to raise his own food and grass.

This is really asking the mules to run away, and the mules are not allowed to eat grass, and they are not even treated like horses!

"This order...

Very wrong! "

Li Zhehua shook his head when he saw this order, but it was stamped with the emperor's jade seal and the Ministry of War, so it couldn't be fake. In the end, he could only say "very wrong".

"This must be the fault of that bastard Zhang Jun!"

Wang Zheng patted the chair angrily, gritting his teeth in anger.

Li Zhehua patted his old partner on the shoulder and comforted:

"Xiangong Zhang should not give such a reckless order. There should be someone else."

"Okay, it's enough that you and I know what's going on. Back then, I was a captain under Marshal Yue Fei, and he was Qin Hui's confidant. Now that he's in power, I'll be in trouble if he doesn't do anything.

Don't talk about me, your decree won't be easy, right? "

Wang Zheng shook his head and asked a question.

Li Zhehua also showed Wang Zheng the decree in his hand.

"Ah~

It's hard for you too. Lingnan Road suffered a lot of robberies last year and floods this year, and taxes are rising every year. How can you still have money to pay taxes? "

"Fortunately, this time the tax only needs to be paid in silver and not in grain. It is still easy to solve."

"Well~ that's true."

When Wang Zheng heard that he didn't want food, he was startled for a moment, then nodded, expressing his deep approval.

At the same time, he also understood why. The military order he received required him to raise his own food and grass, and he also allocated money in time. This was to bring the food from Lingnan to the north!

Unfortunately, what Lingnan is experiencing this time is a large-scale flood that only occurs once in 500 years. Grain production has been reduced on a large scale, and there is no grain to be transferred northward.

"Well, I have money but can't buy food. It's a good thing that you just sold a few coal mines and got 500 million tons of food support from Huang Rong. It's really...

Alas~"

Wang Zheng sighed repeatedly, not only sighing that Li Zhehua was lucky, but also lamenting that his life was miserable.

Of course, he even wanted to complain to Li Zhehua about his poverty and hope that he would allocate some food to him.

Li Zhehua was also an old fox. He was immediately alert and said with the same sad face:

"These 500 million loads of grain are basically coarse grains, which can barely make a living, and the relief victims can barely eat enough. If we want the warriors to eat, they will probably have to turn over the tables and smash the bowls in a few days.

Moreover, there are millions of people affected by the disaster in Lingnan Road. These 500 million loads of grain are just a drop in the bucket. "

Wang Zheng rolled his eyes helplessly, lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, then said in a deep voice:

"Old Li, what do you think we should rebel against Huang Rong together?"

"Shh~"

Li Zhehua was so frightened by Wang Zheng's straightforward words that he jumped up and covered Wang Zheng's mouth. He looked around with his eyes and sent out his mental sensors. After making sure that no one was nearby, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Old Wang, your idea is very dangerous.

First of all, Huang Rong is unlikely to rebel. Even if he wants to rebel, he can't directly let you and me join. The most likely scenario is that there will be a big war.

Secondly, the court may be keeping an eye on Huang Rong! "

“Last year Guo Shi caught dozens of thieves and solved hundreds of cases, but not only did he not receive a reward from the court, but he got a scolding;

They also brought 30 great masters and gods to Lingnan, and no one believed them even if they said they were not guarding Huang Rong. "

"Old Wang, if you dare to leak this sentence, Huang Rong may not die, but you will die!"
