Chapter 44: Disaster Relief

readx;?” An Guohou?"

Yao Hongyi put down the osmanthus hibiscus cake in his hand and said in disbelief: "That gentleman?"

The fact that "Lelang" is "thirty years old" in the official school has long been known to the court, and the reputation of being stupid and dull has been spread far and wide. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Pang Ji took a sip of tea and couldn't help frowning slightly.

This is the tea leaf that is picked during the white dew season.

After a summer of suffering, tea has developed the strongest character in time.

It is not as delicate and fresh as spring tea, nor is it dry and bitter like summer tea.

Full-bodied, mellow.

But how many years have passed, and he still can't appreciate it.

"Yigong is a Jinshi of Chunzhao for twenty-one years?"

Pang Ji asked.

Yigong is Yao Hongyi's expression. He smiled and said, "Thank you for remembering." ”

"So, have you ever seen the old An Guohou Lexin. ”

Yao Hongyi shook his head.

"Where's Lesong?"

Yao Hongyi still shook his head.

The Marquis of Anguo Mansion is not a pivotal family like Wang, Zhao, Gao, and Han, and no one is in the court, and Yao Hongyi has never intersected with them.

By the time we were talking, the rain had completely stopped.

There was no wind.

The wind does not want to blow even a petal.

Pang Ji looked out the window.

Next to the water pavilion, the wood hibiscus was so heavy that the branches were pressed down.

He glanced at the flowers, took a sip of tea, put down his cup, and looked at the flowers again.

Suddenly, a petal floated to the window.

"In the thirty-third year of Yuantai's palace examination, this seat is the first place in the first class. ”

Pang Ji is on his own.

Yuantai is the era name of the Taizong Dynasty.

Flowers bloom and fall, twilight dawn.

Looking back suddenly, the champion who "once saw all the Chang'an flowers" has long since turned white.

There was a trace of inexplicable emotion in his heart.

Yao Hongyi didn't know what he was thinking, and complimented: "The teacher is well-deserved and virtuous." ”

"Well deserved?" Pang Ji sneered when he heard this: "This seat also thought like this. ”

Twisting the petals, throwing them into the pool outside the window, watching it gently drift away with the ripples, Pang Ji told a story about the past.

"At that time, I was only nineteen years old......

……

When he was nineteen years old, Pang Ji was so proud.

In the imperial examination, the first person ranked first was called "Yuan", the first place in the township examination was called Xie Yuan, and the first person in the general examination was called Huiyuan.

The first in the palace examination is the champion.

In the thirty-third year of Yuantai, a total of 10,372 people participated in the imperial examination.

Truly one in a million.

Soon after the palace examination, according to the previous practice, he should have entered the Hanlin Academy and awarded the seven grades of editing. However, Taizong's official family said that he had the talent of Bangguo Zhen and wanted to test him.

coincided with the flood of the Yellow River, and the official family appointed him as an observer of Wupin to go to Henan Mansion to assist in disaster relief.

"I grew up in the capital since I was a child, and my family is still well-off, but I have never seen such a tragic thing. “

Pang Ji said.

At the end of the summer of that year, he and his entourage rushed to Luoyang, and the roads were sparsely populated and ruined along the way.

When he arrived in Licheng County, where the disaster was most severe, he was devastated and corpses were scattered all over the field.

According to those who experienced the floods, the flood roared and flooded the village in an instant.

In an instant, the good field became a country.

In the area of Baishui Bay in the west of the city, the water depth is more than ten zhang. As far as the eye can see, there is a vast ocean, children crying, adults barking, dogs biting, chickens crowing, clothes, furniture, cattle and sheep, and countless corpses floating on the water, and countless houses have collapsed.

It really smells sad, and the listener tears flow.

Yellow water is ruthless like a beast, and Pang Ji has seen it for the first time.

Fortunately, the official family is wise, and he has already ordered the opening of a warehouse for disaster relief.

- "Confucius and Mencius said that human nature is inherently good, and this seat once thought it was true, but after this battle, Fang felt that human nature is not so simple that it can be explained in one word. ”

Pang Ji said.

The past is vivid, and looking back, he still has palpitations.

Although the position has been opened, there is a very tricky thing.

The gift of porridge was originally for the survivors who were displaced by the flood and could not eat.

Due to the large number of people affected, it is impossible to examine them one by one.

On the other hand, the manpower for disaster relief has to be allocated to rebuild the county town and deal with the floods, and there is not enough manpower to screen and identify the victims.

Therefore, many people who are not hungry people also take advantage of this opportunity to line up to give porridge in turn.

"Human nature is inherently evil. ”

This is the most intuitive judgment of human nature obtained by Pang Ji.

The total amount of rice distributed by the imperial court for disaster relief was so much that if those who were not hungry ate more, the hungry people would have less to eat.
