"Jiyun, doesn't the court care about this?"
After An Gou and the others left, An Jiuyue, who was standing there, looked at Qian Jiyun and asked.
Does the government just watch the people starve to death? Or do they not care at all that the people in a small place are starving to death?
Perhaps, this is really the case.
"The imperial court would not be worried about a flood in a small town at all, but what is happening here now is an epidemic, so the imperial court will take care of it, but the method of doing so has its own unique characteristics. It is completely different from other disasters."
Qian Jiyun said to An Jiuyue.
"You mean..."
An Jiuyue was in a daze. Although he had understood Qian Jiyun's words, he still couldn't believe it.
Does such a large court really regard the lives of ordinary people as nothing?
But I have to say that this is really possible. The life and death of the people are nothing to those in power. They cannot see the suffering of the people at all.
In their eyes, they only see the rich food and clothing in front of them.
"Even so, the imperial court really can't even distribute food at all, right? What about the local officials? What are they doing? Or maybe such a big epidemic is in their eyes , is it nothing?”
“Jiuyue, you still don’t understand these things. Even if local officials are determined to make a living for the people, it depends on whether they paid enough taxes last year. How much food is left to support the people's expenses?" Qian Jiyun asked her.
"Heh."
An Jiuyue chuckled.
"I think these days, we can just let everyone hide in the mountains."
Because the court has regulations, the wasteland reclaimed in the mountains will not be used for the first five years. There is no need to pay any taxes, you only need to pay the poll tax.
But after all, it has to be reclaimed from the mountains. It is a very barren mountainous land. If you plant crops, the harvest will be average, and watering is very inconvenient. If there is a drought, there may be no harvest.
Unless they can no longer survive, who would be willing to go to the mountains to reclaim wasteland?
After all, it is still because the imperial court has not done anything for many years. It has seen that the people are in dire straits, but they still have to see whether the high taxes are enough to cover expenses.
"Don't say that."
Qian Jiyun took a deep breath and looked at An Jiuyue seriously.
"There are some things that are beyond the emperor's power."
If the emperor alone had the final say in this court, how could the people have reached such a state? Woolen cloth.
But the current court... He doesn’t want to say anything more. No matter how much he says, it’s just like that. He can only wait for their little emperor to grow up slowly, and maybe he will get better in the future. Bar.
“I have sent someoneGo, I believe it will be effective soon. "
Hearing this, An Jiuyue was stunned.
Things like floods were not something that Qian Jiyun, a military general, could take care of, but now, because he was involved, And she is here, which makes it difficult for him.
"Just take care of it as much as you can. As for the rest, the road in front of our house is not very wide. "She said faintly.
She is not the kind of person who would embarrass her own people for the sake of others. After all, Qian Jiyun is the biological father of her two little cute babies, isn't she? I don’t want Qian Jiyun to do something embarrassing just because of his few words.
To put it bluntly, even the emperor doesn’t care about his own people, so why should they care so much?
