Chapter 1759: Zou Qingyuan's Thoughts
"What happened in Ganzhou and Shaanxi now? You are forced to leave your hometown and come here. You all know these things well. There is no need to say more, and I, a small prefect, need to question the decision of the court."
Zou Qingyuan looked tired, but he raised his breath and said loudly: "The world is difficult, not only the hardest people who left their hometowns, but our local governments are not having a good life."
"The imperial army was only a few hundred miles away to fight against the Liao army's invasion. Now we have lost the crescent gate. What can the entire Gansu and Shaanxi do when facing the Liao cavalry? We can only rely on the imperial army, so no matter what the price we pay, we should pay."
"That's true for everyone, so is Zou Qingyuan, and even more so for tens of thousands of people in Yulin Prefecture."
"The court moved you over. You are unwilling to do so, but you are forced to move here. Logically speaking, there is an order from the court that Yulin Prefecture should be lenient to you, but Yulin Prefecture is also difficult!"
"The entire Yulin Prefecture lives a hard life, and it is not easy to support 100,000 local people. Even so, it is still necessary to reach out to the capital for relief every year before it can barely operate the Yulin Prefecture. But how many people are moved this time? Look back, you only feel that the shacks are stretched out, and even the snow on the ground is covered. There are countless numbers. Let me tell you, there are 126,500 people!"
"This means that the population that Yulin Prefecture needs to manage has suddenly doubled, and you all left your hometown, without any property, and no land. You need to provide everything for food, drink, defecation and sensation. How much energy can Yulin Prefecture have to accept so many fellow villagers?"
"Some people may say that the court moved the big guy, so they would tell the court about their suffering and ask for support from the court. This is a good idea, but the court is even more difficult now, and the front-line war pressure is extremely high. If there is a little material to support the front line, how can we control the life and death of the rear?"
"After all, if the front line collapses, then the entire Gansu and Shaanxi and even most of the country will fall. Who is the least? Who is more important?"
"I can accept everyone into the city with an order, but other examples of gathering points are right in front of me. Once I do this, the prices of materials will immediately surge and the government cannot control it. The local people have some savings, and how many taels of silver do you have?"
"Then the materials that are not large will inevitably be robbed, and the conflict between the local people and the migrated people immediately intensifies. Both sides dislike each other. Under the huge pressure of survival, the only ending is armed fighting and then civil rebellion!"
Every word of Zou Qingyuan kills the heart.
The people were silent, and Li Chen also frowned.
It was Xu Wei, and I felt that Zou Qingyuan was really ruthless.
Every word actually criticizes the court for not being wrong.
The implication is that the root cause of all this is the court.
It's just not obvious, but no matter how obvious it is, the people cannot hear it, but how can the people in the current dynasty still not hear it?
