Not long after, Lan Changhe entered.
Lan Changhe walked briskly and arrived at the tent in the blink of an eye. He stood still and bowed. "Lan Changhe greets Your Majesty."
Du Qi said, "Sit!"
Lan Changhe thanked him and sat down. He went straight to the point. "Your Majesty, I'm here for the autumn harvest that's about to begin. I went to the outskirts of the city early this morning and patrolled. I found that the grain can be harvested on a large scale. "
"A large amount of millet, sorghum that was planted earlier, and other grains like rice can be harvested. As for the commoners, I'll inform them to start the autumn harvest earlier. "
Shangguan Yi said, "However, the grain for the military will be used to mobilize the army. I'm worried that if we don't harvest in time, it will cause a waste of grain. Therefore, I've personally come to see Your Majesty to arrange the autumn harvest. After all, there are many places involved in the autumn harvest. From Jingzhou to Qizhou, Longzhou, and other places, they all need to be busy with the autumn harvest. "
Du Qi said, "I understand."
Lan Changhe said, "The weather this year has been good, so the grain is growing well. The harvest is expected to be good too. According to the previous arrangements, the commoners are exempted from taxes. After all, it's not easy for the commoners in Jingzhou and even the pass. "
"Every household has a bumper harvest. However, because there's a lot of grain, the price of grain will definitely be low and can't be sold for a good price. Therefore, I'm planning to let the government come out and buy grain. "
"After all, after the government sets the price, even if there are grain merchants buying grain everywhere, the price of grain won't be too low and they won't sell it cheaply. Since the beginning of the year, Jingzhou has gradually recovered and regained its vitality. Due to the gradual recovery of commerce, the government also has money. Therefore, it's not a big problem for the government to fork out money. I sincerely request Your Majesty's permission. "
Lan Changhe's starting point was for the commoners.
Only when the commoners' lives were good could there be stability and a foundation for everything.
Du Qi said, "You're an experienced strategist. You can make the arrangements. Only when the commoners' lives are good can they do things honestly and ensure the stability of the place. "
Lan Changhe heaved a sigh of relief. "Your Majesty is wise."
Du Qi continued, "The purchase of grain must be carried out, but it must be notified to the local area and let the people know that the government is purchasing grain. If the local people don't know about it, many people may be schemed against by the merchants and sell their grain cheaply. "
Lan Changhe said, "Your Majesty is wise. I will take note and ensure that illegal merchants will not take advantage of the loopholes."
Du Qi said, "That's good."
Lan Changhe changed the topic and said, "This subject will take his leave."
Du Qi waved his hand, and Lan Changhe turned around and left. Du Qi looked at Shangguan Yi and instructed, "Shanghai Yi, you can also arrange for the harvesting of grain in the various military camps. He divided Xue Rengui's army into various regions and prepared to harvest the local food. Once all the food is collected, no matter if it's us or Su Dingfang, we won't have to worry about food shortage. "
Shangguan Yi said, "I will make the arrangements immediately."
Du Qi nodded.
Shangguan Yi said, "Your Majesty, this subject has another idea."
Du Qi said, "Let's hear it."
Shangguan Yi smiled and said slowly, "This subject's plan is very simple. After our military camps are over, we will specially organize the soldiers who have finished harvesting to help the commoners collect grain. Now, the population in the various regions of Guanzhong has increased. After all, the place is stable, so there are commoners coming in from various regions. "
"In fact, it's still a sparsely populated place with fewer people. When the grain is sown, many of the commoners' families are old and weak, so the speed of harvesting grain is slow. Once the best time to harvest grain is missed, when the rainy season comes, the grain won't dry easily without the sun. It's easy to cause the commoners to suffer. "
Shangguan Yi said, "This subject is prepared to arrange for the soldiers to collect grain from various regions. After they finish collecting the grain, they will help the commoners. In this way, the grain in the entire Guanzhong region can be quickly collected. "
Du Qi nodded and said, "Your plan is to use this matter to win over the hearts of the people in Guanzhong, so that all the commoners can stand on Xia Xia's side, and truly work for Xia Xia, and truly submit to Xia Xia."
Shangguan Yi said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
When Shangguan Yi did things, the medical hall would consider many possibilities and maximize the benefits.
The recognition of the commoners was the foundation.
If the commoners' hearts were with Xia Xia, then all the commoners of Xia Xia could truly work for Xia Xia, and truly stand on Xia Xia's side. Even if someone wanted to incite, or even if Li Shimin had people in the dark in Guanzhong, they would not be able to make waves.
Du Qi nodded and said, "Your suggestion is very good, we can arrange it. But remember, you must send orders repeatedly, tell the soldiers of the various armies that they must obey the military laws, and must abide by the law. They must not bully the commoners, and not take advantage of the commoners. Once discovered, they will be severely punished. "
Shangguan Yi said, "Your Majesty, please do not worry, this subject will arrange everything. In short, this subject will arrange everything properly. "
Du Qi said, "Good, you go discuss with Xue Rengui."
"Yes!"
Shangguan Yi rose and left.
He left the tent and went straight to Xue Rengui's tent. But the tent was empty, and no one was there. Shangguan Yi asked and learned that Xue Rengui had gone to train the soldiers, so he sent someone to inform him.
Soon, Xue Rengui returned.
He was sweating profusely, and his upper body was bare to the waist, revealing his bulging muscles. He strode over, took a handkerchief from a soldier's hand, and wiped the sweat on his face. He said, "Sir Shangguan, are you preparing to send out troops, so you have come to inform me?"
Shangguan Yi snorted and said in a deep voice, "General Xue, the autumn harvest is not over yet. How can we send out troops so soon? I am informing you now to mobilize all the soldiers under your command, then divide them into regions and have them rush to collect grain. Once the grain is collected, it will be time to prepare for the deployment of troops. "
Xue Rengui's high fighting spirit immediately vanished. He was listless and did not have much energy left. He said lazily, "Alright, I got it. I will make the arrangements immediately. My troops will rush to collect grain after being dispersed. "
Seeing Xue Rengui's listless appearance, Shangguan Yi said in a deep voice, "General Xue, whether it is an expedition outside or a military camp here, it is all related to Xia Xia's great cause. If the autumn harvest is not completed well and angers His Majesty, you may not even have the chance to go to war when the time comes. Do not slack off. "
At this time, Shangguan Yi's tone was very serious. He continued, "In addition, the autumn harvest must be completed quickly. After the autumn harvest is completed, organize the soldiers to help the people collect grain. This matter must be arranged immediately, and the soldiers must be ordered to not violate the autumn harvest, and not to bully others or the people. In short, the grain for the military camp and the people must be collected quickly. "
Xue Rengui said, "This general understands."
Even so, Xue Rengui's fighting spirit was still not high. What he liked most was to lead troops into battle, and fighting on the battlefield. He felt uncomfortable staying in the rear all day long.
Shangguan Yi suddenly said, "General Xue, as long as you complete the autumn harvest, I will make the decision to ask His Majesty to grant you three thousand jars of wine. This batch of wine will be given to your troops, how about it? "
Xue Rengui's eyes lit up. He asked, "Really?"
Shangguan Yi's expression was very calm. He said unhurriedly, "If this matter is not completed, you can hold me responsible. Could it be that my name, Shangguan Yee, can't even be exchanged for three thousand jars of wine? "
Xue Rengui chuckled and said, "Of course I won't doubt Mr. Shangguan. No matter who I suspect, I will never doubt Mr. Shangguan. After all, Mr. Shangguan is His Majesty's trusted aide. Fine, a gentleman keeps his word. I will arrange it immediately. I will strive to complete the harvest in the shortest time possible. "
Shangguan Yi said, "I will wait for your good news."
After saying this, Shangguan Yi stood up and took his leave.
Xue Rengui immediately made arrangements for the generals under his command to lead their own troops into action.
