Chapter 498: Governor Wang's actions
I want to say that the Ming Dynasty’s national fortune is really bad. There have been wars in various places for years and disasters are frequent.
Fujian is not much better. It has many mountains and few plains, or drought or flooding. Drought is the majority. No, it’s drought again!
Since summer, there has been a severe drought in Fujian Province, the land has been fierce, the land has smoked, and the crops have died of drought.
Although the planting of sweet potatoes was promoted, the drought was so severe that even the sweet potato seedlings were wilted, and the dug up sweet potatoes were small.
To be honest, the people of the Ming Dynasty believed that sweet potatoes were fed to pigs, and they grew sweet potatoes in the southeastern prefecture. If it weren’t for Yan Da Young’s lofty prestige, everyone would almost rebel!
But in Daming and Min province, everyone wants rice and food!
When Wang Daochun arrived in the middle of the year, he was faced with the dilemma of lack of food and rice among the people, and he couldn't help but scratch his head.
Sure enough, Minfu is not good enough, not to mention dealing with the southeast government, even the civil affairs are in trouble.
He is not a **** either, he can't make rice out of nothing.
Depressed, Governor Wang came for a private visit on WeChat.
was dressed in a blue shirt and brought a clear guest named Mr. Kang. Under the protection of a few plainclothes bodyguards, he went out from Fuya's side door in the evening.
I went to the street, but I saw people coming and going, buying and selling were booming, and the market was not sluggish. How could there be any disaster? !
went to the rice shop on the street in particular. It was close to one or two silver and one bucket of rice, and the price was rising.
I wandered with my heart in mind and arrived at the most lively restaurant on the Minjiang River, but the business was booming, and the lights were in the early days, and it was already crowded with diners. !
There are more flower boats piercing the ribs on the Min River, and there are bursts of voices of Fei Fei, which is quite a posture of "business women do not know the hatred of the country."
Wang Daochun and Mr. Kang found a larger restaurant to sit down for dinner, but all the signs of those restaurants read "Authentic Southeastern Cuisine!"
Mr. Kang asked someone to come and order food. What surprised him and Governor Wang was that it was a young woman who was in charge of the order.
Note that in the feudal society of the Ming Dynasty, women were less likely to show up, and there were many women working in restaurants around the river.
"Authentic Southeastern cuisine? What kind of Southeastern cuisine is it?" Wang Daochun asked.
"The guest official, our Southeastern cuisine is the master invited from the Southeast Mansion. There are oyster fried, southeast beef soup, tuber rice cakes, southeast meatballs, fried flower sticks, shochu snails, French fries and so on!" The young female client from Yanke swiftly said: "Guardian Bao, you are satisfied!"
"Beef Soup?" Wang Daochun asked with his eyes condensed.
"Ah, it's all dead cows, dead cows!" The female client responded quickly and idiomatically, adding: "It has been filed by the government!"
Wang Daochun smiled openly, he is definitely not an official who is ignorant, beef soup is made every day, where are so many dead cows.
But he didn't follow up and asked the female client to choose what she was good at.
The dishes were served very quickly. Wang Daochun and Mr. Kang tasted Southeastern cuisine and listened to the people in the market.
Sure enough, I heard something. One said that Southeastern Prefecture has been doing great business in recent years, progressing well in Southeast Asia, and occupying a large number of islands.
"They take the island out for auction. As long as they have money, they can be the owner of the island and pass it on to the descendants!" Someone said, there was a voice of envy.
"The most profitable plantation is to grow various crops, such as rice, corn, tea, peanuts, sugar cane, tobacco, coconuts, etc. As long as you work hard, you will definitely make money!" said a guest.
Someone asked: "Aren't you afraid that you can't sell it?"
"How can it be!" The man said with a smile: "There are poor harvests in mainland China. How much grain do you grow? As for the money, it is not a problem. Hong Maofan will bring us silver and buy our silk tea and porcelain. !"
"Yes, the price of rice has gone up again!" someone said.
"It seems that Southeast Mansion is ready to transport many people to Southeast Asia!" Wang Daochun listened to people with envy.
"Yes, the Southeast Mansion always makes money if there is a disaster or not!" Everyone envied the authenticity.
"Why is there so much food in this Southeast Mansion?" someone asked puzzledly.
"They have a huge reserve. One has five million shi of grain, and two of them are in Taiwan Province. I heard that two new reserves are being built in Java. People are full of them. I heard that the southeast Prime Minister Chen Zhongji personally acted as the chief of the grain depot. Anyone who dared to falsify was found to be put to death!"
"Scare, so much food?! Doesn't that mean the Luokou warehouse of the Sui Dynasty?"
During the Sui Dynasty, many granaries were built along the Grand Canal. The Luokou warehouse was one of them. It had an amazing grain storage capacity of 24 million pallets. It was the largest granary in the country at that time.
It aroused the sympathy of the diners. Everyone scolded Daming’s corrupt officials for loosing food. In fact, Daming’s system is perfect. The officials have official warehouses and the people have righteous warehouses to store food. It is a pity that the government regards the granary as an important place for profit. , Guancang only sees mice but not rice.
Others scold the government, Wang Dao is purely self-inflicted. He is more concerned about why the price of rice has risen and the people in the southeast government leave the mainland.
From his point of view, Yiye Zhiqiu, why are there many women working in restaurants on the riverside, and there is a shortage of male labor!
This Southeast Mansion moved all the males from the mainland, didn't it make the mainland a sourceless water?
At that time, Wang Dao was pure and quiet, and sent many people to inquire about the news after responding to the ya.
Soon, Mr. Kang summed up the news from various places and reported it to Wang Daochun: "My lord governor, they use food to lure the people. As long as they go to Southeast Asia, there will be food to eat and land distribution!"
No wonder so!
Listen in detail. The Southeast Mansion has set up locations in various states and counties to entice people to go to Southeast Asia. Their food is so much that they are always full.
"Yeah!" Wang Daochun nodded, and quickly sent an order to the prefectures and counties, demanding that for the sake of the people's livelihood, the price of rice should be stabilized, and food should not be collected.
This decree, the ghost only cares about him, and all grain merchants do what they should do, and all local governments are also violating the yin and the yang. This is of course!
Such a great opportunity, if you don't get rich, it will be ridiculous.
What the governor said, everyone should operate in the opposite direction to make a fortune.
Wait until July, it is a foregone conclusion that all parts of Fujian Province will be affected by drought. Wang Daochun then issued an order to all prefects and colleagues to go to the provincial city of Fuzhou to discuss matters.
It is expected that after the officials arrived in Fuzhou, the prefects kept Wang Daochun collectively, while the confidants went to Fuya to accept the task of returning to the territories, taking charge of fighting against speculation, arresting those unscrupulous businessmen who were driving up prices, and detaining them. Food, used for disaster relief!
I have to say that Wang Daochun's shots are quite old and fierce~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Under the banner of righteousness, he wiped out all the people who collected grain, including the grain merchants who sold grain, and also deducted the grain from the Southeast Mansion. stand up!
People from the southeast prefecture are also useless to complain. The government plausibly said: "It was said that it was not allowed to collect food, why did it knowingly commit the crime?"
In order to relieve the disaster, the Southeast Government dare to use a gunboat to hit the door? Stop fame?
The more powerful the official, the more fame the Southeast Mansion would be deceived by Wang Daochun, the gentleman, he expected that the Southeast Mansion would not dare to use force.
Use the same knowledge instead of the prefect to do the errands. Because the prefects of various places have fed the southeast prefecture, and the prefects and the same yak are officials, often they are at odds. Using the same knowledge to do the errands is the most powerful!
Wang Daochun is a new official. It is inevitable for the court to support the horse and send it off. He made such a major event and declared that half of the grain was given to the disaster in Fujian Province and half of the grain was given to the court. The poor and crazy Emperor Chongzhen praised Wang Daochun. If you have the ability, there will be a solution as soon as you arrive!
There is a court supporting him, no one can help him.
The Tongzhis got the guarantee that Wang Daochun had a sponsorship afterwards. Think about the prefects who are full, and they usually don't have much oil and water. They don't have enough energy to handle errands when they have the opportunity.
dispatched government officials, sealed grain stores, and searched warehouses.
The government was resolutely and resolutely, all over the place were caught up in the air, and the total amount of rice seized reached an astonishing 3 million shi!
