The decision of Daxing Palace gave more than 200,000 victims a glimmer of hope. Before noon, in the vast wilderness outside the Yanxing Gate of Daxing City, there were tens of thousands of densely packed tents as far as the eye could see. Officials, under Yang Su’s orders

Next, put this

The resettlement site for the victims was built like a marching camp. It was first divided into three resettlement sites: Bingzhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou. Within each settlement site, an area named after the state was also designated. Everything seemed orderly, well-organized, and the roads were smooth.

.

At the same time, a large number of government officials also appeared on the streets where the army and the victims were confronting each other, going deep into the victims to publicize the court's disaster relief policy and asking the victims to withdraw from the city.

The anger of the victims finally calmed down. Under the arrangement of officials, they all withdrew from Daxing City and the army withdrew to its garrison. Only the 20,000 soldiers from the Wuhou Mansion (Jinwu Guard) on the left and right were left to maintain order in the resettlement site. Reserve officials and Imperial College students were there.

Under the order of the imperial court, they went to help the victims register their household registration. Some princes, ministers, and wealthy private households who responded to the imperial court's call also began to follow the government to provide relief to the victims, and were assigned to various camps to light fires, make rice, and cook porridge.

However, some victims who once had better living conditions thought that tents were not as good as houses and the beds were more comfortable, so they relied on the captured Xinchangfang, Xuanpingfang, Shengdaofang, and Shengpingfang. In this way, one person affects one family, and one family affects a large group, resulting in the four

The shops, restaurants, and inns in Gefang were packed to the brim.

Naturally, Yang Su, who served as the "Commander-in-Chief of Disaster Relief", did not tolerate these rogue and unruly people. Although he was not as severe as he was with the army, he would not be unprincipled and tolerant, which would only encourage bad people to do evil.

At his order, the army marched into the fourth quarter again. First, they gave kind words to the victims who had stayed in the quarters and refused to move towards them, which made some blindly obedient victims afraid to leave. However, there were also some unscrupulous people among the unruly people who thought they were right and believed that the army would not dare to attack the emperor.

They were violent, and even used sarcastic and insulting methods to stir up trouble.

However, they soon paid the price for their arrogance and arrogance. The troops who had been ridiculed for a long time waited for the stipulated time to elapse and began to violently expel them.

House by house, groups of unruly refugees, supporting the elderly and the young, were driven out of the city by soldiers who were already extremely angry. Their cries were loud. If the tough young men dared to resist, they were beaten with sticks and whips. Anyone who resisted

The most powerful people were beheaded on the spot and turned into chickens to scare the monkeys, but this was far from over. In the end, more than a thousand families of unruly people who despised the army were all registered as slaves.

This is how Yang Su gained the heart of the military. When he was a commander, in order to defeat the enemy and run the army strictly, he arrested some who did not obey military laws and sent them to death squads, which had the effect of prohibiting them; but after the war, whoever dared to go

He despises and insults soldiers. Which official dares to abuse disabled soldiers? He is definitely the first minister to jump out and seek justice for the soldiers.

These unscrupulous people's provocative troops, who do not know the bounds of heaven and earth, are tantamount to digging their own graves, destroying themselves, and ending up as slaves for generations. They are entirely to blame for themselves and do not deserve anyone's sympathy.

It was the forceful eviction and timely comfort that finally stabilized the emotions of the victims. Every family and clan obediently obeyed the government's guidance and went to live in the three resettlement sites for the victims.

The problem of the victims has been solved, but the damage caused by the victims to the fourth square made the proprietors of the east and west cities worried about the loss of their profits, so all the shops in the two cities were closed. Not only that, even the shops in the capital were closed. Beijing

The crisis has also transformed from the crisis of disaster victims to the crisis of food prices. The price of food has also been pushed up step by step from the normal 30 yuan. The problem caused by this is that grain merchants in Beijing and China are hoarding food and waiting for opportunities to sell it at high prices.

On the second day, the price of grain soared to an exaggerated level that cost a hundred dollars for a pound of rice. This was definitely a price that would cause great riots and panic among the people in the capital.

The crisis inherent in rising food prices may even exceed the crisis of disaster victims at certain times. Governments at all levels have a deep understanding of this.

In fact, there is no shortage of food in the capital. However, the people follow the same advice and blindly follow the public's large-scale purchases and hoarding. The Changping warehouse located in the East and West markets has limited storage capacity. After the official sells out the Changping warehouse at a fair price, it is necessary to

Grain was transported from Taicang and Guangtong warehouses to replenish the supply. When the people waiting in line saw that there was no grain in Changping granary, they instinctively thought that the government had no surplus grain. In panic, they went to private grain stores to purchase high-priced grain, which further increased grain prices.

This kind of thing is unavoidable even in the 21st century. However, at that time, it was more about the price of salt. Because people were enlightened and there were strange crimes of hoarding to restrain illegal traders, as long as the government issued announcements through various convenient channels, the affected people

The area and crowds are not big.

In the Sui Dynasty, the impact of this skyrocketing food price was astonishing. Therefore, in this era when the people's wisdom was not yet enlightened, and the wind was the rain, the credibility of the government was even more tested. Fortunately, something invisible but extremely important, credibility,

Yang Jian is not lacking, and the Sui government is not lacking either.

, when the imperial court announced that three million dan of grain would be transferred from Guangtong warehouse to Beijing to stabilize grain prices, the almost out-of-control situation immediately came to an end. The price of grain, which had just risen to 120 dan in the morning, quickly fell back, and all the gates were opened one after another.

, the lives of Daxing people gradually returned to normal.

At this time, the troubles in various grain stores had just begun. Although the court did not go to them to trouble them, the people who were deceived and bought high-priced grains gave up and ran to return the goods. There was another panic, leaving

Chicken feathers everywhere.

........

Shortly after noon, Yang Ji, who returned from inspecting the resettlement site, entered the heavily guarded Yanxing Gate. The horse-drawn carriages moved extremely slowly. The three gates were crowded with convoys rushing out of the city for disaster relief, including officials, princes and ministers.

There are wealthy private households... All the aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen in Daxing City are fighting for fame and status.

However, this view of fame and fortune that is beneficial to the country, the people, and oneself is also highly praised by Confucianism and is undoubtedly a correct, healthy, and positive spiritual force.

In the carriage, Yang Ji was considering various arrangements for Liangzhou. According to the court's arrangements, all the victims of the disaster, more than 50,000 households with a population of 260,000, will be moved to Tingzhou under the jurisdiction of the Liangzhou Governor's Mansion.

.

Tingzhou is the southern part of the Junggar Basin in later generations. It is located between Jinshan and Shiluoman Mountains, with Jinshan to the northeast, the western Junggar Mountains to the west, and the Shiluoman Mountains to the south. It is a slightly triangular closed inland basin.

The Gurbantunggut Desert, one of the eight major deserts in later generations, has not yet been formed.

There are many gaps on the west and south sides of the basin, such as the Irtysh River Valley, the Emin River Valley and the Alataw Mountain Pass. These mountain passes are not only the connection channels between the Junggar Basin and the Turpan Basin, but also allow the westerly airflow to enter through the mountain passes, providing a good environment for the basin and the

Surrounding mountains

It brought abundant precipitation, coupled with the melted ice and snow from Jinshan Mountain and Shiluoman Mountains, the basin was filled with rivers and luxuriant grass, creating natural advantages for agriculture and animal husbandry. After the people arrived there, they could live half of their lives.

A life of farming and semi-pastoral.

The Sui Dynasty would establish five counties in Tingzhou, and then build military fortresses on the periphery to defend against the various tribes in the Great Lakes region in the northeast, Xue Yantuo in the north, and the Western Turks in the west.

Yesterday, Yang Ji ordered Sima Yinshishi of the General Administration of Liangzhou to go to Liangzhou to rectify the army and control the security of the Liangzhou, Ganzhou, and Guazhou sections of the Hexi Corridor to ensure that when the disaster victims pass by, they will not be attacked by Tuyuhun and the Qiang who are flirting with Tuyuhun.

In addition, four more orders were issued: first, to convey the imperial court’s decision on immigration to the states under Liangzhou and to make them prepare to receive the victims; secondly, to order Yi

The governor of the state, Xue Shixiong, led his army into Tingzhou to wipe out the horse thieves and conquer the small tribes scattered on the grasslands in the southern part of the basin; the third was to order Li Cao Wei Yunqi to send an envoy to Xue Yantuo to determine the boundaries between the Sui Dynasty and Xue Yantuo to avoid future conflicts; the fourth was to

The order was for Cao Cao Wang Cong to lead the craftsmen to go to Tingzhou to search and determine the address for building the city. Once they confirmed the address, they would escort the Turkic prisoners there to work.

But for Yang Ji, the primary issue is food. In addition to military food, civilian food, and food relief through work, food must be prepared for the wars that may break out in the Sui Dynasty, Tuyuhun, and the Western Turks.

The terrible thing is that the more than 200,000 victims who went there this time can go to Tingzhou to reclaim wasteland and open fields, but the fields cannot be opened so quickly, and once they are opened, there will be no output for a long time. During this period, the rations are just one

The numbers are astonishing. If the rations of the troops stationed in Tingzhou and the prisoners who built the city are included, then the amount of food needed would be even more. Liangzhou alone could not support it, so food had to be transported from Guanlong.

Yang Jian was very generous in this regard. He promised two million dan in one go. It was not enough, but transportation became a big headache. Although the water transportation conditions of the Wei River could be used to transport the grain from the capital to Weiyuan County in Weizhou

, but starting from here, we will travel by land to Lanzhou, Liangzhou, Ganzhou, Guazhou, Yizhou, and then reach our destination, Tingzhou.

Although the "Lanzhou-Guazhou" section is the ancient Silk Road, the Northern Wei, Western Wei, Northern Zhou, and Sui Dynasties successively invested heavily in building roads to make them flat and straight due to war needs, but trains, cars, and

Only a horse-drawn carriage, how long will it take to move?

The "Guazhou-Tingzhou" section is even more difficult to walk.

There are ten prefectures from Yongzhou in the capital to Tingzhou. In order to reduce transportation costs and transportation speed, the best way is to adopt the adjustment method and the segmented transportation method.

The adjustment method is to move all the official grains of Jing, Qi, Qin, Wei, Yuan, Ling and other states belonging to Yongzhou (continent) at the junction of Liang and Yongzhou to Liangzhou, and then supplement them with the grains rationed by the capital. Of course, these states

The official grain is also a rent paid by the common people. It doesn't matter if it is directly counted within two million dan, so as to avoid them having to send it to the capital. This can shorten the transportation distance and save a lot of time and cost.

After entering Liangzhou, the section transportation method was adopted. Each grain transport team traveled between the official warehouses of the two states without having to go from beginning to end. If someone dared to embezzle, they would know which section the problem was with.

There is also a way to save costs, that is, let the court convert part of the grain into cash, and then let him use the money to go to Liangzhou to purchase the surplus grain from the people. Grain merchants also do this. If the government comes forward, they will definitely be able to buy the surplus grain from the grain merchants.

Grab this part of the food in your hands.

Apart from the above methods, Yang Ji really couldn't think of anything else.

He gently rubbed his temples, and his eyes fell on the Ili Valley area on the map. This area has a large population, fertile land, and is rich in food. In later generations, it was known as "Jiangnan beyond the Great Wall".

At present, this area belongs to the territory of the Nichuluo Khan of the Western Turks. However, because he is attacked by the Qibi tribe, Xue Yantuo, and Shekui Khan, he does not have strong control over this area. The Nipuchuluo Khan and the Qibi tribe

In the contested area, the Qibi tribe has been persuaded by Gao Jiong and has reached an alliance agreement with the Sui Dynasty, so it cannot attack this area immediately.

His most important mission at present is to consolidate the existing territory and formally establish Tingzhou. As for the war, Murong Fuyun's Tuyuhun will be the main one. Since he dared to fight against Bujia Khan in the Sui Dynasty,

If Liangzhou makes trouble, it should bear all the consequences. Don't think that just apologizing is enough. The Sui Dynasty is not that cowardly.

As Yang Jian said, Tuyuhun was standing high, overlooking Liangzhou, Yongzhou, and the northern part of Yizhou, like a sharp sword hanging above his head. Therefore, Tuyuhun must perish and this place must belong to the Sui Dynasty.

When he returned to the palace, the porter who was looking at the gate came forward and reported: "Your Highness, Prince Teng has been waiting in the palace for a long time."

"Yes, I understand." Yang Ji walked into the house, knowing that Yang Lun was here to say goodbye.

Yang Lun was appointed as the general manager of Yanzhou for only four or five days. He did not even have the main assistant officers. In addition, Yang Da went to Henan to relieve the victims, so he did not need to rush there. However, as the victims poured into Guanzhong in large numbers,

, he had to go even if he was alone.

It just so happened that Yang Ji also had something very important to tell him. Since he was here, he didn't have to go looking for someone.
