Chapter 27 Offer

Once the townships and villages practice and can't stop these exiles, the village may be broken in an instant. Those hungry and anxious exiles may rush into the village. However, as long as they can find all the property and food, they will be robbed, especially for those rich people who are rich and unkind, and their means are extremely cruel. All of his family slaughtered and robbed everything he could, and even set fire to burn the village before leaving.

Officials in various places suddenly began to feel nervous and constantly mobilized officers and soldiers to suppress these bandits gathered together. At first, there could be some results. After all, the people are habitually afraid of these officers and soldiers in their hearts. Once they see the officers and soldiers suppressing them, they often disperse.

But this situation has not lasted for long. Although the exiles are also afraid of the officers and soldiers, after all, they are looking for food and live. Gradually, some large number of thieves are not afraid of the officers and the army. If they meet a small number of officers and soldiers, they will no longer be scattered and run away as before, but in some bold people. Under his leadership, he began to fight against the officers and soldiers.

And ordinary officers and soldiers usually show off their power in front of the common people, but most of their soldiers can only be regarded as armed serfs of some military generals. They do not have much combat effectiveness. At best, they can only be regarded as peasants in military uniforms. If they can't scare those thieves, these officers and soldiers It is often not as good as those hungry exiles. As a result, officers and soldiers have been defeated by hungry exiles everywhere.

So the urgent documents suddenly began to fly to Fuzhou City, the capital of Fujian, like snowflakes, and flew into the governor's government.

After August, Xiong Wencan fell into this overwhelming emergency documents and became the captain of the fire brigade. As soon as he opened his eyes every day, he saw a large number of emergency documents, and then began to dispatch troops to various places to fight these thieves.

But the actual situation is that the more and more thieves are killed, large and small mountain thieves have sprung up everywhere like bamboo shoots after rain. Even if Xiong Wencan tries his best, he can't solve this problem.

So Xiong Wencan once again thought that his beloved would be General Xiaotian Yu, and ordered Yu Xiaotian to dispatch troops to be responsible for the suppression of the bandits in Zhangquan. After September, with the continuous emergency of Yanping Prefecture and Tingzhou Prefecture, Xiong Wencan had no choice but to order Yu Xiaotian to send troops into these two prefectures to help suppress it.

At first, Yu Xiaotian also led his troops or sent troops to eliminate several groups of fierce and cruel bandits in one fell swoop, but soon he realized that this was actually just blocking and could not fundamentally solve the problem. Today, he killed a group of gangsters, and two or three new gangsters will emerge tomorrow. Today, he dispersed a group of chaos. Bandits, these bandits will gather again tomorrow and find another place to start working.

In fact, most of these bandits are just ordinary exiles. They just want to eat alive and have no choice but to take risks to do this industry.

After realizing this, Yu Xiaotian was not angry but happy. Isn't this just a great news for him?

He has been secretly collecting displaced people from the land or persuading some landless people to move to Taiwan Island to cultivate for him and explore all parts of Taiwan Island.

In addition to spending a lot of manpower and material resources, you should also be careful to guard against being alerted by the government, and someone will use this to impeach him.

But now the drought in Fujian has caused hungry people everywhere. Isn't it just enough to meet his needs? In previous years, he can't ask for it. Sometimes in order to persuade some people to leave their homeland and settle down on Taiwan Island, they have to speak hard, and even deceive them, and even use strong means to Some people got to the ship and transported it to all parts of Taiwan.

But now there is no need to work so hard. When you open your eyes outside the cities, there are drifters everywhere. These drifters are hungry, thin and skinny, and even because of hunger, people have become numb.

Some women, even for a cake, are willing to sell their bodies just to eat something to live. Some parents have to sell their children cheaply in order to keep their children alive, hoping that rich people can show mercy and take in their children, even without money, just give them a bucket of rice. They thank God.

It can be said that as long as you give them a mort, these hungry people don't care what they want them to do now. As long as they give them a bite of food, they will follow you. As for where to go in the future, it is no longer a matter for them to consider.

So after Yu Xiaotian figured it out, he immediately took the road, took some guards, and quickly rushed to Fuzhou City to meet Xiong Wencan.

Recently, Xiong Wencan was worried about the disaster victims and disaster relief, and even his temper became much worse. His subordinates were often reprimanded. They were busy with their feet. Suddenly, they heard that Yu Xiaotian did not come. Xiong Wencan was busy dealing with things, so he was not angry and let Yu Xiaotian wait outside first.

But his men also knew that Yu Xiaotian was a red man in front of Xiong Wencan, and they did not dare to neglect him. They let him go to the side hall and served him with tea first.

Xiong Wencan was busy for a long time, and then remembered that Yu Xiaotian was still hanging outside, so he greeted his men and recruited Yu Xiaotian into the study.

When watching Yu Xiaotian walk into his study with a relaxed face, Xiong Wencan couldn't help but be a little angry and snorted coldly with a straight face, "Why don't you arrange to suppress the thief? Why did you suddenly come and run to the old man?"

Yu Xiaotian quickly accompanied Xiong Wencan with a smile and said to Xiong Wencan with a smile, "Your Excellency, I have something important to discuss with you!"

Xiong Wencan said angrily, "What can be more important than suppressing thieves at the present? Say it!"

Yu Xiaotian laughed a few times and glanced at the servants next to him. Xiong Wencan knew what Yu Xiaotian had discussed with him today. I guess he didn't want more people to know, so he snorted coldly and waved his hand to bombard all the idle people out.

"Say it! What on earth do you have to discuss with me when you come here this time?

"Your Excellency, in order to suppress the thief these days, I also thought about it for a long time. Suddenly, I had an idea and came up with a way to solve this problem once and for all! I don't know if adults are willing to listen!" Yu Xiaotian first bought a barrier for Xiong Wencan.

Xiong Wencan is having a headache about this matter. Although he has reported to the court that the court can allocate some relief food to Fujian and reduce some additional supplies for Fujian, according to his understanding of the current court bureau, he also knows that the court is very likely to allocate food for disaster relief. Small, now the northern provinces have been in years of drought, and the disaster is more serious than in Fujian, but the court has not been able to allocate much relief money and grain. For Fujian, it is even more impossible for the court to allocate a large amount of money and grain for relief, let alone the reduction and increase.

Nowadays, the construction of slaves in Liaodong is becoming more and more arrogant, and the imperial court continues to increase troops to Liaodong. Such actions must cost a lot of food and salaries. With the current financial situation of the imperial court, it is impossible to maintain it without dispatching. Even so, there are still long-term unpaid salaries in Liaodong from time to time, and there have been many mutiny recently, so The imperial court is basically unlikely to reduce and increase the faction to Fujian.

However, he really doesn't have enough money and food on hand to help the disaster. If he doesn't have money or food, he can't save the disaster victims. Naturally, the disaster victims will not sit back and wait to die. They will definitely take risks and gather in the mountains and forests to make a living by plundering. This is a dead cycle. He himself also knows that the problem cannot be solved by suppressing alone.

But if he doesn't rely on suppressing, he has no better way at present. He can't sit back and watch these exiles gather around, and can only send troops to suppress them. Now Fujian can be said to press the gourd and float up. The situation is getting more and more chaotic day by day, but he has never thought of a perfect solution.

Although he is very good at touching and those thieves are also willing to accept touching, the premise is that after Zhao'an, you have to give them food. It happens that he doesn't have so much food on hand. Even if he is appease, as long as the food supply is cut off, these thieves will continue to recover.

When Yu Xiaotian said that there was a way to solve this problem once and for all, Xiong Wencan couldn't help but stand up and said urgently, "Say it quickly!" What can you do? Oh! Sit down and talk! Come on, watch the tea!"

Yu Xiaotian then sat down in a chair. Someone quickly sent a bowl of tea from the outside, and then quickly retreated out.

Yu Xiaotian said to Xiong Wencan, "In fact, this civil unrest in Fujian is fundamentally due to the lack of food to eat, so that the people have to take risks and become thieves!

If you want to solve this problem, there are nothing more than two ways. One is to force rich people and large gentry from all over Fujian to open warehouses for food and strictly control grain prices on the market. No one can hoard goods and raise grain prices! As a last resort, you can only let go and kill some outlaws.

But doing so will certainly cause the rebound of many gentry and relatives. I'm afraid that Yu's career will be unfavorable in the future, and he will really offend many people!

Some time ago, I thought of a way to force them to pay for food. In several prefectures and counties, I persuaded the local rich people, large families, merchants and gentry to donate. These people were not willing to pay for food, but the inferior jobs set up a merit outside the gates of these prefectures and counties. The monument, showing the people, engraved the names of the people who donated money and grain to the tablet, and clearly marked the amount of money and grain they donated.

In this way, it has played some roles. Although some gentry, large families and merchants are rich and unkind, they still want face. When they see the monument of humble positions, they have to take out more money to buy a reputation.

In this way, a batch of money and food have been collected to help some disaster victims! ..." Saying this, Yu Xiaotian paused for a moment.
