Natural disasters alone are nothing, and natural disasters cannot compare to human wisdom.

Man-made disasters alone are not scary, and fools are not as wise as wise.

It is terrible to catch up with natural disasters and man-made disasters.

This natural disaster can be traced back to the reign of Emperor Jiajing.

In order to implement the new law, the two capitals and 13 provinces are re-clearing the land, and the new law in the north is being implemented. In the past, various types of taxes and service were of various types. Zhang Juzheng's original intention of implementing the One-whip method was not to allow the people to have less taxes, but to allow the government to receive more taxes without adding new taxes and service to the people.

In the past, it was harvesting wheat for planting wheat, weaving cloth for weaving, mining mined mine, and fishing dried fish. The collection time was different, and not to mention it was too complicated. The key was that various names included various clerks and various people were involved in it, resulting in excessive ineffective tax revenue.

Just like Qingzhang land is to find out the land that others hide and avoid taxes, most taxes are taxed in silver.

With fewer procedures, fewer opportunities to be greedy, so we can increase fiscal revenue by reducing invalid taxes.

But the problem lies in the fact that the whip method is the southern tax, which has strong local limitations, limited to silver.

The people in the south use a lot of silver because there is a lot of silver, including maritime merchants, silver mines, and overseas imports. A large amount of silver is distributed in the Jiangnan and Fujian-Guangzhou areas, radiating from the coast to the Central Plains, but not including Xuanda.

Most people in Xuanda, Shaanxi still use copper coins.

Once the tax method is changed, the silver price here will be higher. The first high is to exchange copper coins for silver; the second high is to exchange silver for physical taxes in the past.

In the past, the tax payment time was close to the big collection, but the people had the most food at that time, so they collected taxes at this time to be sympathetic. Now that the tax law has been changed, taxes are still collected at this time. When the tax collection is large, the people have no money in their hands, so they have to exchange grain for silver. Everyone has to exchange grain for the lowest price, so they have to pay the same tax with more grain.

So the tax is heavy.

It’s okay if you don’t get a disaster, but once you get a disaster, no one can eat or live.

Before Emperor Jiajing, the imperial court had silver and food, and could immediately provide relief whenever it was affected by disasters.

When Emperor Longqing took over the empire, not to mention that there was no silver in Taicang, the military pay in the nine borders could not be paid, so what would he expect to provide disaster relief? Those years were all disaster relief.

Taicang has not saved money and grain, so its ability to resist risks is weak.

Moreover, Chen Mu was blamed for this matter. If Chen Mu had not, there would have been much less silver flowing into the court, and silver would have become a tax circulating currency later. But because of him, the amount of silver flowing into the Ming Dynasty increased dramatically.

Compared with the inflow of silver among the people, the silver he stuffed into the Ministry of Revenue every year is actually the tip of the iceberg.

By chance, Zhang Juzheng was promoted to the National Middle School by using the one-whip method earlier.

All of this is summarized, and some unscrupulous merchants hoarded grain and raised the price of grain when they were hit by the disaster.

The defenders from all over the country were soft-hearted and allowed the people to gather in the three guards of Yanqing. Tens of thousands of mouths could not support the three guards. Moreover, these people gathered more and more. Not to mention Juyongguan, even a large city could only sit in the empty way.

The problem follows.

Zhao Shizhen was working in Nanyang and living in Zhang Juzheng's mansion for half a year. He knew better that Jiang Yuelin's words were broken through the window paper and could be seen at a glance.

This is not a natural disaster. Just a natural disaster will not cause people to leave their hometowns, nor will it allow people to take their families to escape to Juyongguan, hoping to enter Shuntian.

This is a man-made disaster that no one expected.

The problem before Zhao Shizhen was even more serious than Jiang Yuelin. He could not plagiarize the money to enter Datong, and he could not even enter Xuanfu.

"Disaster relief banks must enter Datong. If they do not enter Datong, the disaster situation will be difficult to curb. Juyongguan disaster victims will gather more and more. Yanqingwei's food will always be eaten on the day, and it will be until they are finished..." Zhao Shizhen gritted his teeth and said in a stern manner: "Irreconceivable."

"So you have to release someone!"

Jiang Yuelin clapped his hands and said, "I ordered the porridge sheds along the way, the switches were released, and the roads were not congested. The disaster relief silver could reach Datong. The disaster situation was resolved. It was wonderful!"

He was not trying to find a way for Zhao Shizhen, nor did he find a way for the people. His wonderfulness was that he finally found a reason for himself to turn on and release people.

Zhao Shizhen knew at a glance, and shook his head and said, "Commander Jiang's mission is now achieved. No matter how many porridge sheds along the way, they cannot stop people. The people will always have to go to the capital. The refugees and bandits are only one person with ulterior motives. If they hit the capital, can Commander Jiang's head be kept?"

"Then what do you think you should do? Do nothing, and the people will change under my nose. Do you think I will suppress it or not?"

"There is a way below. I don't know if it works, but it depends on how many guards the commander Jiang can manage." Zhao Shizhen looked at the people at the pass and said, "The people must be separated and cannot be gathered together."

Jiang Yuelin was so anxious that he scratched his head, "I can take care of a few guards. Don't be aware of the commander-in-chief. I'm in charge of military farming. No one except Yanqing's right guard can control it."

"Huailai Guard can speak well. The left guard of the Central Guard belongs to the Beijing Army, but now it is a grasshopper on a rope, and there are only these four guards. You should talk about what you want to do first." Jiang Yuelin shook his head and looked at Zhao Shizhen with great frustration, and said, "If you want Jiang to lead troops to suppress and drive away the people, there is no need to say this, this will lead to civil rebellion."

It’s not that Jiang Yuelin underestimated Zhao Shizhen’s intentions, and he has never lacked such officials.

It would be fine if dozens or hundreds of people hit the gate, but they would be detained to the guard for a few days to eat and send them back to their hometown. There were tens of thousands of people, and even in a few days, it might be more than one hundred thousand people. The one who is hard to do is to bury your head with you!

"They are in charge of farmland. I will send a letter to the cabinet master to explain the situation and ask the right to act cheaply. I also asked the commander of Jiang to send people to send letters to each of the guards, each of the thousands of households. The six counties and seven guards were affected by disasters. The people must come from the six counties and seven guards, and divide the land for the people from their original homes, and separate the people first."

"In this way, it is not difficult for each thousand households to manage thousands of people. At the same time, the price of grain is suppressed in various commercial cities. This matter must be done by the Jinyiwei. I will discuss it in detail later in the next step."

After being with the world's number one pirate leader for a long time, Zhao Shizhen, although a literary man, has a strong attitude. Xichi said with a big sleeve: "The price of grain that can be flattened is flattened, and there is a tough problem for grain merchants who are uneven. When the letter of the old master arrives, he will break the door and open the warehouse to replenish grain to provide disaster relief."

"As long as one, only one such hard bone will be removed from a county, and the food price will be settled immediately."

"With the food, the government exempts the taxes, and the people who have been divided into several shares can be brought back to their hometowns by the flag army. After the operation is done, Commander Jiang not only does not have to think about how to escape from the crime, but also makes a great contribution."

Jiang Yuelin listened to Zhao Shizhen's plan and slowly swallowed his saliva, "Then, what if I can't do it?"

This young civil servant is too brave.

Although the Ming Dynasty law clearly stipulates that it is necessary to punish eighty-year-old poles for stockpiling goods, no one dares to hit him eighty-year-old poles for stockpiling goods.

Zhao Shizhen's solution is very simple and crude. It is not that others cannot think of it, but that others cannot do it. Besides, following his intentions, some people do not listen to advice, and seem to want to break up the house and confiscate the house. Can they command the Jinyiwei?

Zhao Shizhen ignored him and took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone with his backpack, and kept padding the female wall of Chengguan. He started writing letters. Zhang Juzheng and Xu Jue had to write. Of course, he did not have the ability and ability to call the official and Jinyi, but Xu Jue had it.

It just so happens that he and Xu Jue are also familiar with each other!

Hearing Jiang Yuelin's uncertain question, Zhao Shizhen didn't even raise his head and said, "If you can't do it well, Commander Jiang will take the blame and resign from his official position. The worst result is this, and he won't die."
