The reason why the mountain fire will do great harm to the people living around the Wu family is closely related to the backward productivity at this time.
After all, there are neither reinforced concrete buildings nor various advanced fire-fighting means in this era. When people find a mountain fire, they either feel that they are far away from themselves and can ignore it, or they simply and roughly cut down in the direction where the mountain fire may erode, clean up an isolation zone and control the mountain fire in a range.
In fact, this method of cutting down and clearing the isolation zone is still effective even in the 21st century. After all, burning a forest area is not necessarily a bad thing. As long as there are no casualties, the burned forest area can be restored soon, which itself is the survival way of nature.
However, if there are many trees and few people in a settlement, when the high wind and the fire, the fire will soon spread to the town. Sparsely populated means that there is no ability to control the fire. Once the fire enters the living area, the next things cannot be controlled.
There is a small county at the foot of Baiyun Mountain. There are few people at ordinary times, but because it is close to the official road and dry and rainy all year round, the imperial court takes this county as the official warehouse for grain storage in the area of Taiyuan government.
The official warehouse system has been perfected long ago in China. As a typical agricultural civilization, China's thousands of years of history has always revolved around grain. Food is the most important thing for the people. As a nation with rich experience in unified management, the Chinese have long understood that whoever controls food controls the people, because the most basic requirement of the people is to be able to fill their stomachs.
Compared with the vast territory, China's traffic situation has not been completely solved until the 1920s of the 21st century, when the high-speed railway is fully rolled out. Only when you can reach any city in the territory in one day can you have a satisfactory score in the answer sheet of traffic capacity.
Before that, transportation and transportation had always been an indelible pain in the hearts of the rulers of this ancient country.
Grain is not only an inconvenient material for transportation, but also an essential material for life, so it is necessary to build official warehouses in various regions. This kind of official granary is different from the granary of local Yamen. The granaries of local yamen exist as a part of tax. After all, in this era, most of the taxes collected by the imperial court are agricultural taxes. Farmers are not willing to exchange their food for money with merchants and pay taxes after suffering a loss. They prefer to pay taxes directly with food, and the Yamen must accept these "taxes" and store or transport them away at the same time.
If the grain collected by the Yamen in each place should be escorted to the granary of the Imperial City, it is undoubtedly a crazy behavior. I'm afraid the food consumed by escorting these "taxes" alone is not enough.
However, the imperial court will not let those "taxes" always be stored in the granary of the local yamen, which is easy to breed corruption and lead to serious problems. At the same time, it is not conducive to centralization of power. After all, it is reasonable that food should still be in the hands of the top leaders.
In this way, it is of great significance to build official warehouses directly managed by the imperial court in appropriate places.
First of all, the ownership and management of Guancang are owned by the imperial court and have nothing to do with local officials. The officials and servants of Guancang are "directly under the imperial court", do not deal with local officials and personnel, and are only responsible to their superiors. In this way, the "collusion" between official warehouse officials and local officials is avoided to the greatest extent, and the possibility of corruption is reduced.
The second meaning of the existence of official warehouses is to stabilize grain prices. In a sense, they are like reservoirs. When the grain price is low, that is, when it is "waterlogged", a large number of official warehouses bring grain into the grain at a slightly higher price and store it, which plays a role of "absorbing flood" to avoid low grain hurting farmers. If there is a grain harvest failure and the grain price soars, this is the "drought". At this time, the official warehouse sells the stored grain at a slightly lower price than the market price, which plays a role in calming the grain price and avoiding too many people who don't have enough to eat.
This role in stabilizing grain prices is only part of the function of official warehouses.
As the granary under the direct control of the imperial court, the official granary also has the responsibility of relief. When there is a food shortage or disaster, the imperial court can order the local official granary to participate in the disaster relief. Whether to open the granary directly or boil the food into porridge for the hungry people to drink and hang their lives depends on the imperial court's order or the situation at that time.
If there is only drought in Baiyun Mountain, the disaster will not be serious enough if there is an official warehouse. At least it can be alleviated. In addition, with the gradual relief means of the imperial court, after all, there will be no problems in the system and scheme for a ruling institution that has existed for hundreds of years. It can make this system work normally. If there is a problem, It's just because there's something wrong with a link or someone in some links of the system.
But the sudden mountain fire made the largest official warehouse of Taiyuan government disappear.
"No?"
Li Luoyang can't believe that an official warehouse that has existed for decades and hundreds of years can't face a fire. It's very waiting. However, he didn't continue to be surprised. He soon understood why Xiao Hui knew about it and why he should report it in the six doors?
Obviously, the real natural disaster does not necessarily kill everyone, but if there are man-made disasters, the consequences will become very serious.
Suppose, Li Luoyang just assumes that if the official warehouse of Taiyuan government was not actually burned by natural mountain fire?
What is "not burned by natural mountain fire"? Li Luoyang didn't ask this question, but he and Xiao Hui looked at each other and understood each other's ideas.
Only Wu Xinyi and Zhou Lin didn't notice. They were still waiting for Xiaohui to continue talking.
"There's nothing behind. The official warehouse is gone, the food for relief is gone, and there's no food around Taiyuan government. Hundreds of thousands of people want to eat, animals want to eat forage, and there's a big fire. After the news leaked, the whole people in Taiyuan government are crazy."
Hundreds of thousands of people and almost the same number of animals have to eat as long as they open their eyes. If they are gathered together, it will be an unimaginable astronomical number. Although the official warehouse does not occupy half of the grain reserves of the whole Taiyuan government, its existence itself is like a sea god needle, which plays a role in stabilizing people's hearts.
Now the sea god needle is gone, which means that the last hope in the hearts of the people is gone.
Maybe the imperial court will send food for relief. The imperial court will never let hundreds of thousands of people starve to death, but who can guarantee that he will live until the day when the food is delivered?
