Everyone who leaves the earth will turn.

Without Li Wenyuan, the court also operated well.

Disaster relief is still continuing, and the transfer of grain in various places is still intensifying. A large number of young and strong people in the disaster area have begun to be transferred to Dengzhou bit by bit. The construction of Hanjing has begun. The terrain is flattened, the wall foundation is dug, the loess is dug to make bricks and burn the city bricks, and the roof is poured.

There have been no less than 300,000 young and strong people in the entire Hanjing site of Dengzhou, and a large number of young and strong people gathered, making the court feel like walking on thin ice. Tens of thousands of soldiers from all over the country were mobilized to guard the surroundings, fearing that these victims would take the opportunity to cause trouble.

For these victims who used labor instead of relief, the court also implemented a joint position system, militarized management, divided into brigades and squadrons and teams, etc., each sends people to manage, and the same group supervises each other, etc.

Escape, incitement, create rumors, stealing, fighting, gambling and other behaviors must be reported as soon as possible, and these behaviors will be severely punished.

However, although Li Chao's creation is not in Hanjing, the rules and regulations that are operated here are basically all based on those originally planned by Li Chao.

Governments in various places are mobilizing the women, children and the elderly in the village to find food, dig wild vegetables and bird nests to go down the river to catch fish and bugs, etc., and everything they can eat must be brought back.

The grain distribution is also stricter. Now you can only receive three days of food each time, and you have to rely on food coupons. Those who do not have food coupons can only receive two days at a time.

Strict quantification.

There is no enough food for regular food, so everyone can only find ways to add various wild vegetables and other foods into it. There is a shortage of food and various side foods.

Fortunately, salt is supplied in a fixed amount and can be guaranteed, but oil, vinegar, and soy sauce are difficult.

There are many sugar crusts and other foods, and the food is short of oil. As a result, many people often cannot get it out and have serious constipation. Now, bean cakes used to feed pigs and even fertilizers have become precious things.

On the black market, a bean cake weighing several pounds can be replaced with a high-quality silk dress or even a gold and silver jewelry.

The bean cake is the residue left when soybean oil is pressed. When soybean oil is pressed, it must be steamed first, then crushed, and then wrapped with straw to form a round flake cake shape. Finally, it is put into the oil press. A pile of bean cakes are placed, clamped on both sides, and then added wedges. A group of people carried a large wooden hammer and kept hitting the wedges, making the bean cakes tighter and tighter, and squeezed out the oil inside bit by bit.

After squeezing the oil, the bean cake becomes hard cake residue like iron.

It can be as hard as concrete.

This kind of dregs is actually not nutritious. The best ingredients to be used as fattening fields can also be used as livestock feed materials. But now, bean cakes have become a precious food on the underground black market.

Even a few pounds of bean cakes have to be divided into several pieces to sell, and most people can’t afford the whole piece.

When I bought the bean cake, I couldn't bear to tear off the straw outside, but I just used the hammer to smash the cake into pieces, then beat it into powder, and finally put it on a little and put it in a pot to steam it.

Evaporate the hard cakes like stones and then dissipate. After they are dispersed, add some rice, some wild vegetable roots, add some salt, and then cook them into porridge.

You can't eat bean cakes directly.

Because bean cakes are repeatedly squeezed, if you eat them directly, the bean cakes will swell in your stomach. If you eat them more, you will bloated and die.

People who would not be extremely hungry took too much bean cake and ended up swelling.

It has to be steamed and cooked, after it is completely loose.

Although such bean cakes are not nutritious, they are better than ordinary grassroots and leaves. A piece of bean cake with relief grain and some wild vegetables and grassroots can at least hold on.

The best oil-slag cake is actually sesame cake. Some sesame seeds are ground directly in oil and there is no residue at all, but some sesame seeds are steamed and then squeezed. The cakes of this sesame cake are delicious. What cannot be eaten is oil tea tree cakes. This kind of cake cannot be eaten because the oil tea kernels used in this cake have a layer of shell on the outside, which is very bitter and a little poisonous. In the past, people would crush them and scald them with hot water and then sprinkle them into the field, which would force the loach and eel out of the field. The fish would be dizzy and just pick them up directly.

Winter is here.

There are fewer wild vegetables and the fields are bleak.

The mountain is also yellow.

There are fewer and fewer foods to eat, and even fewer fish in the river.

The court is working hard to relieve disasters, but there are more and more reports of people starving to death in various places.

Those who starve to death, those who eat all kinds of wild vegetables, those who eat some wild nuts, those who eat wild mushrooms, those who eat wild leaves, those who eat wild grass roots, and those who eat wild grass vines, and countless tragedies.

There are also those who swelled out of white soil, those who swelled out of bean cake, and those who swelled out of grass seeds.

With the reports of many people who died of starvation, there are also sporadic robberies in many places. Some people have begun to be robbers and rob others of their food because of hunger.

There was even a county where hundreds of people hungry people appeared. They captured a large family, killed the whole family, looted all the food and money of his family, and then fled into the mountains.

The situation is getting worse.

But these were also expected by the court. If it were in the past, such a serious disaster would have caused more serious turmoil in various places.

But this year, until now, the situation has been within the control of the court, with very few people starving to death, and not many hungry people robbing.

Even so, Li Shimin still frowned when he looked at the reports.

"I have not done enough, and the court has not done enough!" Li Shimin sighed with red eyes.

Fang Xuanling said bluntly, "Your Majesty, the court has done a very good job. The disasters during the Daye period were not as serious as this time. However, each time, there was a wave of refugees, even causing hungry riots, and causing bandits to loot the prefectures and counties. The current situation is still dead and there are chaos, but these cannot be completely eliminated. What we need to see is the major achievements we have made with the efforts of the court."

Du Ruhui also supported Fang Xuanling's view.

It is useless to force it too much. You have to see the reality. The reality is that the court has done well enough. It is not easy for the court to achieve this when it was founded or after a long chaos.

"Fortunately, Li Xiang's vision and disaster relief methods were available, otherwise we would never have been able to do this. Your Majesty, I think that at this time, Li Xiang stayed in Wudang Mountain would be a waste of talent. Wen Yuan was the prime minister of the court, the Minister of Revenue, the founding envoy of Hanjing, the Xuanfu envoy of Shannan Road, the Grand Governor, the Prefect of Xiangzhou, and the Governor of Dengzhou. At this time, Li Xiang is needed everywhere. Your Majesty should immediately summon Li Xiang back to Xiangyang and let him preside over the leadership."

Yu Wen Shi, Gao Shilian and Yang Gongren also agreed.

"Disaster relief and relief, Li Xiang's regulations and strategies are the most effective. Your Majesty cannot let such rescue, the Prime Minister doesn't need to do it!"

Li Shimin didn't say anything when he heard Li Chao's name.

"The current situation, I don't think he can have a better way by asking Li Chao to come."

Fang Xuanling retorted bluntly, "These disaster relief strategies of the court are now formulated by Li Xiang. How could Your Majesty say that Li Xiang has no better way?"

Li Shimin couldn't answer the words.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the prince's injuries have improved a lot, so I should send someone to take the prince back to Xiangyang. It will definitely be more convenient to recover from the injury here. When the prince comes back, Li Xiang can also take time to deal with these important matters together."

The prime ministers were very dissatisfied with the emperor's intentional neglect of Li Chao during this period, and threw the prime minister to Wudang Mountain to accompany the prince, and refused to let him take charge of the affairs here.

It is not Li Chao's responsibility to be injured.

Li Shimin was pushed there by a group of prime ministers, and he was helpless.

If you think about it carefully, when Li Chao was in the court, he could always think of a good solution for many things, just like what the prime ministers said. If Li Chao had not warned about this major disaster in advance and formulated this disaster prevention and relief strategy early, the consequences of this disaster might have been much more serious.

"Okay, I will send someone to pick up the prince back to Xiangyang immediately, and let Li Chao come back and continue to preside over the disaster relief affairs of Hanjing Construction and Shannan."

The Prime Minister was saved.

Li Shimin was muttering the new name of Li Chao in his heart, and couldn't help but sigh. He loved and hated Li San now.

After talking about Li Chao, Li Shimin discussed with the prime ministers how to deal with refugees who boldly robbed and committed crimes in various places.

"Your Majesty, you should use heavy punishments in troubled times. I think you cannot indulge them. You must send troops to search and arrest them. If you catch one, you will deal with one, and you must publicly execute them to achieve good results." Gao Shilian is an old-fashioned person. He cannot tolerate these rebels in his eyes, no matter what they rebel.

What's more, what reason do they have to rebel?

The court gave relief food, and although the amount is smaller now, it can still survive. What a great grace this is. If it were placed in the previous dynasty, there would be such good treatment. No one would collect your body if you starve to death.

If such a good court dares to make trouble, they are born with thieves, and it is not enough to kill a thousand times.

"Your Majesty, I don't think so. The people rebelled because of the great disaster and hunger. Although it should not be done, it is understandable that the court should appease the people, send people to pacify the local area, recruit these people, pardon their crimes, let them go to the Hanjing, and let them exchange their food for food. If they just kill them blindly, it will not be useful. At present, only those who fill their stomachs are the most effective way to comfort the people. If they don't have enough food, there will be more people who rebel!"

Fang Xuanling disapproved of strict suppression and proposed lenient punishment.

Several prime ministers, some supported Gao Shilian's suppression, and some supported Fang Xuanling's comfort.

Li Shimin hesitated.

"Your Majesty, why not wait for Li Chao to return to Xiangyang and ask him whether to suppress or appease him?"

Li Shimin glanced at Yu Wenshiji who proposed this proposal, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.
Chapter completed!
