The Han army had already surrounded the three sides of the Jin Dynasty from Ningzhou in the southwest to Jingzhou, and then to Yangzhou in the east.

The only way out is the vast ocean.

When the army was set off, the monarchs and ministers in Jiangdong would either surrender out of the city or go into the sea to feed the fish.

As for the possibility of fighting to the death.

It basically doesn't exist anymore.

If it were the historical situation of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it would be hard to say.

In history, the enemies faced by the Eastern Jin Dynasty were all the barbarians who occupied the north, a group of rebellious slaves, and a group of foreign robbers.

The emperor and ministers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty had a strong sense of superiority when facing them.

How can you bow your head to the barbarians in a dignified manner?

In the current situation, Liu Yu not only occupied six or seven out of ten in the world, but also under the banner of the revival of the Han Dynasty.

The descendants of the thief of the country could not gather people's hearts in Jiangdong at all.

"The people in Jiangdong are already dry bones in the tomb. Your Majesty can slowly draw them."

Gongsun Sheng took a glass of hot wine and continued.

"The most urgent task now is to find a way to help the people survive the famine after the beginning of next spring."

Since the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, another frequent disaster year has increased.

Often it is a severe drought during spring plowing, heavy rain during autumn harvest, and then a winter when the ice is buried with snow.

The people's livelihood of the Central Plains, which had just improved a little, will immediately fall into a huge threat.

"Have all the affected prefectures and counties exempted taxes?" Liu Yu asked.

Gongsun Sheng nodded and said in a low tone.

"The autumn tax this year has been exempted, and all orders have been issued, and the summer tax next year has been exempted in advance."

Liu Yu is implementing a policy of rest and recuperation. The tax ratio is originally levied at a low level. Even if it is exempted, it does not have much effect.

"Your Majesty, even if you exempt taxes, it's not enough."

"At least 30% of the people's homes have no surplus food until next summer."

"And if there is another major disaster next spring, the winter wheat may not be able to harvest well. Without the summer harvest in May, it will have to last for several months before the autumn harvest will be obtained."

Gongsun Sheng's words immediately made Liu Yu feel depressed.

The most important issue of such a huge empire today is not the battles between the south and the north, but the issue of eating year after year.

"Natural disasters occur frequently, if this continues, there is really no way out."

Liu Yu couldn't help but sigh.

I don’t know if it means that I have no way to survive, or that the affected people have no way to survive.

"The disaster-stricken prefectures and counties, especially Bingzhou, Yongzhou, Yunzhou and Daizhou, are the most severe, with nearly one million people suffering from the disaster." Gongsun Sheng said again.

Seeing that the harvest is almost out of stock this year, the people today can still survive this winter by relying on the previous food storage.

But once the spring is coming next year and the weather is out of reach, it will really starve to death.

There was nothing to eat, and the mess came.

"Bingzhou, Yongzhou."

When Liu Yu heard these prefectures and counties, he couldn't help but understand.

Why did all the barbarians attached to the border have been in chaos after the end of the Jin Dynasty in history?

Just like the frequency of disasters, if you don’t raise troops to rob, you will be afraid you will really starve to death.

"How did they spend it?"

When Liu Yu thought of this, he couldn't help but start to think seriously.

How did the Di, Qiang and Xianbei tribes survive in the face of famine?

Is it just to kill each other?
