The Feast

Chapter 243 Northeast Plain

With a good official on the stand, the people still have a little way to live. If the local officials are indifferent and greedy for money, then the victims still want to live, they can only ask for blessings.What cruelty is it that Yi Zi eats?But that was a bloody fact that happened in history.

Therefore, Su Nuannuan is more concerned about such matters than court officials like Duan Tingxuan and Long Pingzhang.Sure enough, after listening to her, Lord Hou and Master Long were both stunned. Then the two men cleared their faces, and Lord Hou said in a deep voice: "Nuan Nuan said it well, but it made me feel complacent. Then we will give up. Get rid of the carriage and ride directly. "

Long Pingzhang hesitated: "I don't care, but Mrs. Sister and Xiu'er ..."

Before I finished speaking, I heard Su Nuannuan said: "I have no problem. Although I can't ride a horse, I can pretend to be a man and ride with Ting Xuan together."

Chu Xiu also firmly said: "When I was five years old, my hometown was also hit by disasters. During that drought, my mother was arguing with someone for a piece of cake. She was wounded and finally died. Brother Aniu, I can also pretend Take a ride with you as a menswear. "

"Well, then do this." Duan Tingxuan made a decisive decision, even though Su Nuann was worried about the victims, but the thought of being able to ride the horse with his beloved person, Xiaohou Ye still had a trace of joy in his heart.

This time there were continuous heavy rains in southern Liaoning, and there were many disaster-stricken areas. After arriving, Duan Tingxuan and Su Nuannuan found that the disaster was more serious than they thought, so they became busy immediately, and they could n’t even reach the bull ’s head dozens of miles away. The mountain visited the couple of Pingguo Gong, but after inquiring about it, it was still well, and they no longer took care of it.

***********************

"The officials here are still quite effective. After all, Guanwai has always been regarded as a wild place. Although the emperor is planning to open a shipping company in Jinzhou, after all, this is a matter of two or three years. So the officials who were assigned here before, Mostly there is no way for Jinshiju. This kind of person's life depends on his own efforts. Most of them are responsible officials who have the brain, otherwise the situation will be even worse. "

Long Pingzhang and Chu Xiu sat outside the Jinzhou government office, looked at the people on the left and right streets, who were kneeling or sitting on the dishes, and he explained that Chu Xiu complained about the officials' poor relief.

"Then why are there so many victims? They haven't opened the warehouse to release grain?" Chu Xiu was still angry. Her mother died because of grain, so she was particularly sensitive to this issue.

"What kind of storehouses have you opened? Mincang has already finished eating, and now it uses military food. How much food do you think you can store? And here are mostly nomadic people outside the customs. They rarely plant land, and tax and food are not enough. At this time, it was maintained with military food, and it was still possible to wait for the rescue food of the court. Even if it would definitely kill people, it could eventually keep things within the controllable range. If the granary of the military food was completely opened, the people would just eat and eat in front of them. Take the food and even rob it, there will be more dead people. Xiu'er, you do n’t understand, this granary is now everyone ’s hope, hope is there, and things can still be done. ”

On the other side, Duan Tingxuan and Su Nuannian also sat on the steps, but the two discussed another issue.In the end, Su Nuannuan knows more than Chu Xiu, and she has a clearer understanding of the people's mentality, so she will not complain about the local government, only to her surprise: in her memory, the Northeast Plain is a very famous granary, why? Duan Tingxuan said that the food here cannot even be self-sufficient?

For his wife's question, Xiaohou Hou wanted to explain with patience, but the problem was: He really didn't know that the Northeast Plain was a granary.

So he humbly asked, "Why do Nuannuan say this? I have never heard of the rich land here in the Northeast, how could it become a granary? Five or six hundred years ago, the granary in the world was Suhang until three hundred years. Long ago, Lingnan was finally developed, and then there was the saying 'Huguangshutianxiazu', but how did you not know this ... When did Liaodong also have the saying of Northeast Granary? "

Su Nuannian ’s last footprints are all over the south and north of the river, but this does not mean that her geographical performance will be very good. In fact, she only knows that the three major plains in the northeast are famous grain-producing areas, especially the Sanjiang Plain and Songnen Plain, but Where should these places refer to?What if she gave all this knowledge to the geography teacher?

When Duan Tingxuan saw her not speaking, he said in a deep voice: "In recent years, as most people in the south have changed their land to mulberry trees, so that every year the country collects more and more silver money, but the food is getting less and less. The emperor had thought before Forcing the big landowner families in the south to change mulberry to grow grain, it is a pity that this policy is heavily resisted. Later, as the sea was banned, a college student who had traveled to Ryukyu Luzon and other places the previous year once took a book, saying that the land is rich and extensive Because the sun is abundant and the weather is warm, the crops can even be cooked three times. The emperor turned his eyes to the south. Remember when I told the court last year that he did n’t have to worry about the money and nowhere to spend it? I was planning to save enough money , Immediately send some powerful people to Luzon, Ryukyu and other places to buy a lot of land. You also said that there are many fruits, crops, and a kind of rubber in those places. It is particularly powerful. If you can get it, you can even promote it in the future. The development of the whole world. "

After Duan Tingxuan talked about this, Su Nuannuan found out that since Duan Tingxuan knew her identity, she had unknowingly said so much to the other party that he did not know.

Without any hesitation, she took her husband's hand and said softly, "You have let me know that you have learned my biggest secret when you have said this. What else can you say? Just I do n’t know much about the situation in the Northeast. I only ask you, do you know the Songhua River? "

"Songhua River? Are you talking about ... Duck River? I heard from my teacher when I was a teenager, there is a duck river in the extreme north, which is very wide and large. Although it is not as long as the Yangtze River and Yellow River Grand Canal, it is also very long. The largest river in the north, the local people are also called Songhua River. Is that what you said? "

"Yes, yes, it should be this." Su Nuan Nuan was excited, holding Duan Tingxuan's hands tightly: "Then you must know Heilongjiang?" Xie Tianxie, although it is two time and space, but the geographical history has changed Not big, otherwise she would really be ignorant.

However, her joy was quickly quenched by the cold water of Xiaohou Ye. I saw Xiaohou Ye with a confused expression: "Heilongjiang? What is that? Is the alias of Songhua River?"

"Oh, I bought cakes." Su Nuan Nuan put a pestle on his knee, but a word came out of the electric light flint immediately in her mind. She quickly raised her head and grabbed Duan Tingxuan and shouted, "Do you know the slaves? You know? Jurchen ’s place, Jurchen still belongs to our Dayin leader? "
