However, all dynasties have taken special precautions against population gathering during large-scale projects, and every time a large-scale project is carried out, some people raise objections.
It is conceivable that they knew from the beginning that no matter how much food they smashed in, the migrant workers would never be full and hungry, and there would definitely be trouble, so they should be prepared for repression before they had to.
In their eyes, the big project is that they want to make money when they are making money, but they are afraid of causing large-scale civil unrest, so they have to manage big efforts.
Bad group of people
In February of the seventh year of Hongwu, Su Yonglin walked along the Yellow River construction site and watched that this big project, which involved millions of manpower and tens of billions of money, was coming to an end.
This is the Northern Song Dynasty and the State of Jin forced him to give up his life. If the endgame cannot be cracked, he will unlock his own strength and become a disabled person to death.
Now, relying on the strong mobilization ability and the ability to carry out with one heart and one mind, this day’s endgame and half-death game will also usher in its end, and this stale old world will also usher in the real end for the first time.
At this time, the owners of the old world don’t seem to know much about it.
They don’t realize that they are coming to them at the end, and they are still doing what they are bound to do as always.
For example, just after its establishment, the Chengdu court is still carrying out its own action of drinking poison to quench thirst, and it has never paid attention to the progress of the Yellow River project in one country. When the Yellow River project is over, China may explode with powerful forces.
They are also playing a game of deceiving bureaucrats.
Chapter 1227 Edge despair
At the beginning of the court in Chengdu, the staff of many institutions didn’t work together and didn’t come back to the central government. During this period, the local officials of the court in Chengdu were very powerful.
Many things are solved by themselves, instead of being reported to the Chengdu court and waiting for the court to solve them. Many things, including finance and justice, are solved by the local authorities themselves, but the Chengdu court does not ask.
After feeling the pleasure of freedom, local officials felt that their freedom began to take off, so they were dissatisfied when they were ordered by the court to stop, and felt that the court hindered their freedom
Civilians live or die, they don’t care. They want to squeeze the oil and water out of these poor people and satisfy their desires.
Since ancient times, how can you not let the official scrape the poor man’s money?
It was in October that the imperial court issued the order to increase taxes, and the officials immediately rushed to grab the goods. The efficiency was amazing and a large number of refugees were created quickly, which made people sigh that only at this level can bureaucracy show super efficiency.
However, when the order was issued in mid-November, the officials delayed it again and again, forcing farmers to pay taxes while blocking the news so that farmers would not know that the court order delayed them from earning money, which fully reflected the executive power of the bureaucratic class.
So it dragged on until the middle of December.
Su Yonglin set a future prospect for the country to sail to the sea of stars, and the bureaucrats in Shu and Song Dynasties also made money.
From the beginning of October to the middle of December, Sichuan and Sichuan officials forced a large number of yeomen to go bankrupt at an extraordinary speed.
They not only robbed farmers of money, but also took the initiative to cooperate with local strongmen and landlords to operate a unified art system, forcing farmers to pay taxes to the point of taking the road to buy land at a lower price.
For a while, the farmers couldn’t imagine that they could resist all kinds of resistance and sell land cheaply in large quantities.
The bureaucrats robbed the farmers of their property and grain, and the landlords robbed the farmers of their land and then gave the government a kickback. The two sides cooperated tacitly to achieve a win-win situation.
In less than three months, Sichuan and Sichuan officials succeeded in creating hundreds of thousands of refugees in more than a dozen state capitals along Sichuan and Sichuan Fifth Road, and the number of refugees increased with the passage of time.
But bureaucrats don’t care.
For bureaucrats, the most important thing now is to make a quick profit. It doesn’t matter who dares to stop them from making money, and they regard them as enemies.
In the imperial court, local governments were asked to stop plundering farmers’ land and to build porridge sheds to give porridge to farmers. The basic thing was to laugh at the joke and then pretend that such a thing never happened.
Local officials colluded with them and wouldn’t allow refugees to return home at all, which also caused a little friction among local officials.
Obviously, in the process of refugees leaving their hometown for other places, some places are "net outflow" and some places are "net inflow"
The burden of net inflow is too great. When the local local officials learned of the imperial order, they were very happy to immediately send people to stay in the refugee population statistically and prepare to call those local officials to pick them up.
However, the net outflow of local officials readily promised to say, yes, yes, but no action.
Local officials sent people to ask about the net inflow again and again. They all said that they would send people to pick it up on a good day, but after several days, nothing happened.
It is the so-called day after day.
The number of iterations has increased, and local officials have figured out some ways to realize that those local colleagues who have a damn net outflow will not send someone to pick them up.
What they want most is that these refugees will never go back to give them trouble when they die, and they will not pay to build porridge sheds to feed these refugees.
When the time comes, I will also tell the court.
It’s not that they don’t pick up, but that the refugees are dead and no one can pick them up, so although they are very sad, they have to put up with it.
This is absolutely unacceptable to bureaucrats with net inflow.
Too many dead people are unlucky, and the net inflow belongs to others. This kind of thing is good at throwing pots, and it is also regarded as official business. Bureaucrats will never be vague
So they plan to organize their own people to send the refugees back while the Chengdu court accuses the bureaucrats with net outflow of them of evading their responsibilities and failing to meet people.
Escort what, of course, it is impossible to dispatch people to send weapons. Violent means to expel them from their own jurisdiction is the best means of "giving away"
And this matter was also learned by the Chengdu court.
Zhao was furious and demanded that the officials of the net outflow area must take everyone back and immediately send an empire to supervise who dares not to take people on the spot.
Nai, an official of the net outflow, lambasted the official of the net inflow for not doing personnel while arguing, and then prepared to spend money to bribe the suggestion.
Bribing one person or several people is much cheaper than settling thousands of people.
It’s just a matter of fooling around at will in the imperial court. If you really want to bring back thousands of mouths from the refugee department, you can’t fool around. That’s to throw real money into it.
They will still calculate this economic account.
Bureaucrats are happy to fight with each other, and all kinds of decision-making interventions against the Chengdu court are focused on this matter, but they have never intended to be kicked by them to treat the landless peasants.
After being driven away by violence, the peasants in Faliu refuge were desperate to find that they were not accepted in a county, and there were ferocious armed forces everywhere to drive them away, even worse than cattle.
Some people stay in the wilderness and call it everyday, but they should not call it ineffective.
Some people are forced to return to their hometown only to find that their hometown is more ferocious against them. When they see it, they will be beaten and driven away, and they will never be allowed to return to their hometown.
Although the day is big, it seems that there is no place for them. They don’t seem to belong to this world and this era.
As a result, in the coldest season, the cold winter of Hongwu six years and the early spring of Hongwu seven years, the landless peasants living in Sichuan and Sichuan died of hunger and freezing in batches.
In the process of walking from one county to another to beg for food, more than one third of the refugees died of cold and hunger, and two thirds died of cold and hunger if the distance was longer.
As the team walked, some people fell headlong and never got up again. Some relatives were still alive, and some people howled around the bodies. Few relatives were directly pushed to the side of the road.
Nobody looks at it, and nobody cares, just waiting for the spring, the body will slowly rot and become a lonely ghost.
Although Sichuan and Sichuan have always had a hot and humid climate, should it be cold in winter and early spring or cold in the heart?
There are a lot of refugees who are dressed in light clothes and have no food to eat. They freeze to death in large numbers, and there is no hope in sight. They are not warm houses and thick vegetable porridge, but fierce armed men and hard sticks.
After all, they fell into despair.
But the armed men and bureaucrats who treat them like this may forget that when people are desperate, they are not only very sad, pitiful but also very dangerous.
