Chapter five hundred and eighty fifth quell public grievances
With a command, during a few breaths, the Li family team simply and neatly executed Li Su's order. After a meeting, they broke the man's legs and carried him out of the crowd.
Until his legs were broken and he soared into the air, the man felt the pain in his legs, so he screamed like a pig.
From taking action to taking it down, the troops were as powerful as lightning. Until the man was carried out from the crowd, the people were still confused.
The man is in his thirties and looks very ordinary, looking like a farmer who can be seen everywhere, his face is covered with vicissitudes and downs, mixed with the crowd and there is nothing special about it.
Li Zhi stood beside Li Su, staring at the scene with wide eyes, and still did not react to Li Su's decisiveness. He stared at the man who was screaming like a pig, just like all the people.
"Brother Zizheng, is this..." Li Zhi hesitated and said.
Li Su turned his head and smiled gently, "Your Highness thinks I took the wrong person?"
Li Zhi hesitated for a moment and said, "Would you read it wrong? Zhiguan seems... this person is a honest and honest farmer. If we take the wrong person, the matter will be a big deal."
Li Su smiled and shook his head without explaining it. He believed in the ears and eyesight of his subordinates, and he would know the truth after arresting them in one instance.
In fact, no matter whether you take the wrong person or not, things have become a big deal.
Seeing someone taking one of the people for no reason, the onlookers suddenly became noisy and noisy, and the commotion in the crowd changed drastically.
Li Su frowned, turned his head to show Fu Shanyan behind him, and Fu Shanyan understood, stood a few steps forward, shouted loudly: "Sujing"
The crowd was so scared that it was quiet by the roar of the ground. Fu Shanyan's eyes were filled with evil eyes. He glanced coldly, and then he said sternly: "We come from Chang'an and belong to Chang'an Right Wu Guard. According to the emperor's order, His Majesty's legitimate son, His Highness King Jin and the Marquis of Jingyang County, went on a tour of Jin. This is our waist card, let's see it clearly first!"
As he said that, Fu Shanyan took out an ivory waist sign with tiger head and fangs from his arms and slowly showed the people around.
The crowd became quieter and awe appeared on everyone's face.
No matter how enlightened this era is, it is also an era of strict classes. The people are born with awe and fear of the court and officials. It is just right for Fu Shanyan to reveal his identity in time.
Seeing that the crowd became quieter, Fu Shanyan nodded and said, "Since you have seen it clearly, I will talk about the second thing. This time I went on a tour, His Highness King Jin and the Marquis of Jingyang County represent the court and His Majesty, intending to appease and provide relief to the fellow villagers. The relief grain and grass allocated by the Ministry of Revenue have already been on the way, and you will definitely arrive in Jinzhou within three days! You can trust the local governor, but you must not trust His Majesty's own son! All the elders only need to wait with peace of mind, and soon there will be food and grass for relief. Your Majesty is far away in Chang'an, and he is still worried about the disaster-stricken people. He only asks that all the elders and the court will share the same heart and virtue and overcome danger together. Everyone is united and obey the government's orders and arrangements. His Highness King Jin and the Marquis of Li County can guarantee that no one will starve to death!"
As the words came, the crowd gradually began to stir up again, and everyone showed suspicion on their faces, as if they were weighing the truth and falsehood of these words.
Fu Shanyan turned his head and glanced at the middle-aged man who had his legs broken and was humming straight on the ground. Then he turned around and shouted: "I will talk about the third thing..."
Pointing at the man, Fu Shanyan's tone suddenly became stern: "Everyone saw it. We took this person just now, why did we take him? The disaster is in the face of a great disaster. It is when the court and the people and the people are united in the struggle. This person hides in the crowd and deliberately provokes officials and people, alienates the court and the people, incites the elders to confront the court, and Naer and others to act as a personal stone. He has ulterior motives and has ill-thoughts. If he does not take this person, he will let him provoke you and others to confront the government, and even incites everyone to rebel the court. Just imagine, he has achieved his goal, where is your life?"
The crowd suddenly became quiet again.
Li Su stood not far away and couldn't help but nod.
Fu Shanyan usually looks cold, but once he talks about the truth, he is reasonable and well-founded. Although he doesn't know his personal ability to command military strategy, he is a rare talent just by looking at his current performance. From this point of view, Li Shimin decided on the candidates for Li Zhi after careful consideration.
Whether it is the court or the people, it is the truth to be convinced in this era. As long as the truth is truly convinced, everyone will be able to accept it.
After Fu Shanyan's words, the crowd stopped commotion, and everyone's face might still be a little suspicious, but the expression of anger and resentment just now gradually disappeared.
His Majesty the Emperor sent his own son to patrol and provide relief. The Ministry of Revenue's food and supplies immediately went to Jinzhou to take down bad intentions and incite the devil. After these things were done, what would the people have any dissatisfaction with the court? The court and His Majesty the Emperor had already done everything they should do.
After the crowd was comforted by Fu Shanyan's words, Li Su stepped forward and said loudly: "I am the Marquis of Jingyang County. The next person is His Highness, the current legitimate son of His Majesty. The general said that he was right. The grain and grass allocated by the Ministry of Revenue are on the way. He will go to Jinzhou within three days. Please wait for three days. I promise not to let everyone go hungry. Now, the officials and servants of the Jinzhou Governor's Office, as well as the local government's guard camp, gathered all the craftsmen in the city to set up tents on the flat ground outside the city to use it for the people to live. The food and grass for the three days will be collected by the government. Every time the meal is at a fixed time, the elders will come to collect the food and grass."
I have to say that Li Su's words are more effective.
He knew what the people were most concerned about at this time was nothing more than food relief, so he went straight to the point and broke the issue of food relief in great detail and explained it clearly.
If the people were still a little dissatisfied with the court, after Li Su's words, everyone's last doubts were finally completely dispelled.
Yes, as long as you are not hungry, is anything else important?
For an ordinary citizen, who is the emperor, what means to be the emperor, is the snow disaster a God's punishment? How can these big and small matters be compared to the food that is actually filled in?
*********************************************************************
After Li Su gave the order, the people's emotions calmed down, and the governor named Yu walked up to Li Su and others.
Wu Fu took out the sign and imperial edict to prove his identity. After careful inspection, the governor Yu handed it back to Wu Fu, and then led a dozen officials to salute Li Zhi and Li Su.
Li Su ordered Fang Laowu and others to take the man he captured to the prison in Jinzhou City for careful interrogation, and then signaled to governor Yu to lead the way into the city.
Under the leadership of Governor Yu, the group entered the city and walked into the Governor's Mansion in the city.
It was not until the guest and the guest sat down in the front hall of the governor's mansion that Yu retreated the irrelevant people, that he wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a few bitter smiles.
At this time, Li Zhi straightened his waist like a little adult and asked slowly: "Governor Yu, what is the current situation in Jinzhou?"
Governor Yu smiled bitterly and said, "What is the situation? I believe His Highness of Jin King has seen it today. Since the beginning of winter last year, heavy snow has fallen in Jinzhou. The snow is full, and people and animals cannot move. Until the beginning of spring sowing season, tens of thousands of acres of fields outside Jinzhou City still had snow and had not melted. The land was frozen and dry and hard, completely cut off its vitality and could not sow seeds at all. Seeing that the spring sowing season has passed and the climate has not improved, the people finally despaired. So starting five days ago, the people took their families and left their hometowns with their families, and in some places, even the entire village and the entire village. The officials guarded the road outside the city gate every day, begging the people not to leave, but the results were very little, and most of the people still escaped from Jinzhou..."
As he said that, he felt guilty and heartache on his face, and tears soon filled his eyes with tears, and he cried: "Originally, the year of last year was not very good, and the people did not save much surplus grain at home. Now he takes his family to Chang'an. How many days does that little grain store take? Even if he chewed the bark and grass roots all the way to Chang'an, would there be their way to live in Chang'an? The officials persuaded them for many days and almost knelt down. But the people just didn't listen... they just didn't listen!"
Seeing the tears of governor Yu dripping one by one, Li Su was also in a very heavy mood.
He believed that governor Yu was a good official. He also believed that the government in Jinzhou had made the greatest efforts, but it was hard for a good cook to cook without rice. During the natural disaster, food is the most important thing. Without food, no matter how much you do, it will be futile.
"I don't know how much the people are left in Jinzhou, how much the grain and grass are left in the official warehouse, how many casualties are left in the people, whether the rule is peaceful, whether there is any trouble in the people, and whether there is any trouble in the people. I would like to inform you about such situations." Li Su said slowly.
Yu sniffed, wiped his tears, took a deep breath to calm his emotions, and then choked and said, "Yesterday, the magistrates of the county magistrates under his jurisdiction sent people to send news. Now, the people in Siye Village, Jinzhou have left their hometowns to flee. There are only about 30,400 people who are actually staying in Jinzhou, and the total number is about 30,000. Among them, there are about 6,000 people gathered outside the city. Some of the rest went into the deep mountains to collect wild mushrooms or hunt, while others were missing and had nowhere to know. As for the grain of the Guanjian, Xiaguan just said that the scenery last year was not good. During the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, most of the grain of the Guanjian was escorted to the Chang'an National Treasury. The remaining old rice and millet were about 400 stones. If you provide relief to the people, this grain was only enough for the people to eat for ten days. Moreover, without the approval of the three provinces, Xiaguan would never dare to open the official warehouse and release grain..."
Li Su quickly turned his head and looked at Li Zhi. Then Li Zhi nodded. Li Su waved his hand heavily: "Open the official warehouse to provide relief to the people, stabilize the hearts of the people, and overcome this difficulty. You can talk about everything. Your Highness the King of Jin will take care of everything."
Li Zhi nodded quickly from the side.
Governor Yu hesitated for a moment, then breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "If His Highness of the King of Jin agrees, the subordinates will not worry about it. The people of Jinzhou will be able to settle down... Besides, three days later, the Ministry of Revenue will have food and supplies for disaster relief. What are the subordinates worried about? Then they ordered people to build tents and never let the people starve and freeze..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Su glanced at him with a gloomy face and said quietly: "Who told you that the Ministry of Revenue will arrive in three days?"
Yu was stunned, then his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his face turned pale quickly. He pointed to Fu Shanyan, who stood like a wooden stake under the corridor outside the hall, and stuttered: "It was not this person just now, this general, said... say..."
Li Su sighed: "You believe whatever others say. Do you want to be so naive? Governor Yu, are you very familiar with this general?"
