Da Tang: Three days later, I was frantically collecting supplies

Chapter 103 is another year of drought, disaster relief.

Although Zhang Genggeng did not come, he also got hundreds of steelmaking furnaces and some iron ore. Later generations of steelmaking do not require experience, as long as there is equipment, basically hands.

Li Kei arranged for the people in the palace to make steel, and this time he only got dozens of steelmaking furnaces, first made steel, and built cannons. They also had gunpowder in the backyard to prepare for new weapons.

Li Kei asked his henchmen to continue to study grenades, grenades and other things.

As for the large ships, those ten are enough for the time being, as long as they are equipped with cannons, they will immediately become warships.

There was also a ship, left to Zhao Rui, what was missing, so he asked him to send some materials here, or to transport something more convenientAt the same time, Li Kei found that the cultural level of Yizhou in the Great Tang was generally not high, but it was simply like a barbaric place, ordinary people were almost illiterate, and the literate ones were also somewhat different from the Tang Dynasty’s script.

So I picked out dozens of literate people, gave them a few language teaching materials, asked them to prepare, and returned to teach the people to read. Otherwise, no one can understand the notice you make, it’s too uncomfortable.

“Your Highness, how come you don’t know some of these words!”

“This is the simplified character invented by Ben Wang, I will let Xiao Man open a class for you when I turn back, and I will learn it according to this in the future, which is more convenient.”

“Yes, Your Highness!”

More than a month passed slowly, and there was nothing to do, but it was colder. Li Shimin arranged for Li Ke, Sima, to help administer the area.

They are all locals, one is relatively fat, named Xie Xiuwei, appointed as Changshi, and Li Kei tacitly calls him Xie Chu Fat. The other surnamed Mu, named Quan, was decent, and was considered reliable, and was appointed Sima.

On this day, the two found Li Ke.

“Humble position see Your Highness!”

Li Ke was stunned, and hurriedly said: “Oh, why are you still kneeling, let’s not kneel in the Great Tang, get up!” ”

The two looked at each other.

We have been kneeling many times, why did you say it today?

“What’s going on?”

The two stood up and said, “Your Highness, after a year of fighting this year, the people have been looted clean, and now they have caught up with the nine cold days, starving and freezing to death. ”

Moreover, there are people who cannot resist hunger and eat all the seeds of the coming year as food.

Recently, the hay in the field has been bald, and in the eyes of the humble position, I am afraid that the people will not be able to survive the winter, and there will be great chaos soon.

“Moreover, the Silla side has just issued an edict to attract the people to migrate, and when they go, they will send houses and grain, I’m afraid…”

Li Kei was slightly surprised.

Just wait for the people to run out of food, and then open the granary to provide relief, so that the people can remember their own good. As a result, Silla has not been in this year, so do things?

“Notice, at noon today, open the granary to provide relief to the victims.” In addition, it is strictly forbidden for people to leave the country. ”

“Your Highness is really benevolent, as long as His Highness opens the granary for disaster relief, the people don’t want to go to Silla, and the language is not comprehensible there.”

Li Kei continued: “In addition, don’t the people have nothing to do in winter? One person from each family, at least 8 years old, goes to the school. ”

“Academy?”

The two were stunned and confused again.

“King Ben renovated dozens of abandoned houses to teach the people to read.”

My Great Tang is a country of civilization and etiquette, how can I be illiterate, the two of them were overjoyed, and immediately knelt down again: “Thank you, Your Highness, when Your Highness was the King of Shu, I heard the prestige of the King of Shu.” ”

“I didn’t expect His Highness to be able to teach the people to read, it’s really my hundred…” O blessing to my people! ”

“Go and arrange! There is no need to keep the little foundation of the granary, just send it casually, and the king will soon send people to resupply. ”

“Thank you, Your Highness!”

Therefore, Changshi and Sima hurriedly notified the state officials and informed the people to receive the grain. On a cold day, the outside was full of people.

Not to mention, the crowding is not so cold, and people carry their own pockets, excitedly waiting for the distribution of food. The Dugu Mansion also sent people to the granary to maintain law and order.

Li Kei is still that purpose. Sheng Mien Dou Mi Feud.

Direct food can not be given for too long, at most half a month’s amount. The rest of the time, if you want to eat, you have to work for yourself.

It is winter, and the people do not have many coins in their hands, and they are all old. It needs to be changed and replaced with the coins of the Great Tang.

It may be difficult to directly nullify it.

The value of copper coins is basically equal to the value of copper, but it will not lose. Therefore, it can only be calculated by weight.

Even if the purchasing power is insufficient, it can only be like this, how can it be done without changing the dynasty, and not changing coins. So Li Kei opened another bank, put some money into it, and asked the people to exchange coins.

Moreover, it was not enough to provide relief, and a grain shop was opened, which could only be purchased with new money, that is, copper coins of the Great Tang. This will also stimulate the people and complete the unification of the currency as soon as possible.

Small place, easy to deal with.

A few days later, the people had food in their hands, they had enough to eat, and they were grateful to Li Ke.

“How much rice do you have left?”

“Rice, my family is not receiving rice, it’s called corn, it’s delicious to boil into porridge, a large bowl of corn flour can boil a large pot of porridge, if you save a little, it’s enough to drink for a month.”

“What, corn turned out to be so good? What is that thing? ”

“You don’t understand this, corn can receive more than a month’s amount, while rice can only receive half a month’s amount.” Although the weight is the same, officials say corn is hungry and produces more porridge. ”

“Alas, I really regret it, when I saw corn, I didn’t dare to receive it, I felt that the weight was the same, what is comparable to rice?”

“This Zhenyuan King is not bad, he will give food within two months of coming, it is really comfortable.” However, who knows if it will be sent later! ”

“You still have a month’s worth of money here, what are you in a hurry, my rice has bottomed out, if I don’t distribute food in a few days, my whole family will have to starve to death!”

“Don’t worry, since King Zhenyuan can provide disaster relief once, there will definitely be a way!” However, this grain was obviously only enough for ten days, and everyone was still a little worried. After all, there are too many people, and this is not enough to eat for long, and they will have to plant it next year. How capable can the new thorn history be to raise so many people. ”

Although the people are illiterate, they are not fools. Individual power is ultimately limited.

I want the imperial court to send grain.

Don’t forget, this place is far from the imperial court. If winter doesn’t pass, don’t think about transporting it.

Moreover, the grain of the imperial court before was all lost by the army Huo Huo, and I couldn’t find food when I dug the third foot.
