Chapter 366: Disaster Relief in Person (Part II)
Of course, if you give Nan Jiawei ten dares, you don't dare to ask Murong Hao why he did this. The only thing he can do is obediently follow the emperor's instructions to do things.
He hadn't yet made a farewell salute, and suddenly remembered that this time was not just the right time to mention to the emperor that the disaster relief silver still had to be delivered? He hurriedly bowed down to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, another 990,000 taels have been transported here, and Lord Lu has sent a message that this disaster relief silver tael was robbed by the bandits there when passing through Fenghua Mountain. Now it is being shipped one after another. ”
Nan Jiawei said this, but he was not afraid that the emperor would suspect him, this is probably the so-called heart is not crooked, anyway, he is not greedy for silver, he is confident, and he is not afraid that the emperor will go to check!
Murong Hao stared at Nan Jiawei coldly, I don't know what these people are thinking, they were robbed by bandits in Fenghua Forest? Does he look good to fool? It's just that according to the investigation, this Nan Jiawei did not embezzle any money. He had no choice but to put away his anger and calm his jaw.
"Well, I know, you have to make good use of these silver taels to settle the homeless people."
Nan Jiawei couldn't suppress the joy in his heart when he heard this, and tried to lower his head and said, "Yes, the little one will definitely use this money for the people." ”
Murong Hao snorted and told him to hurry up and prepare. He sat in his chair and wondered, how could he let them go so easily, although the old fox seemed to be about to spit out the swallowed silver?
He summoned Jinyiwei to ask them to investigate what was going on with the bandits in Fenghualin, since they dared to use this as an excuse, then presumably Fenghualin really had bandits, but it was an excuse after all. Hum!
In the early morning of the next day, Murong Hao walked ahead, followed by Nan Jiawei, followed by dozens of guards, all to protect the emperor's safety.
Although Daqi has not heard of the so-called rebel rebellion in these years, but there are many people to protect it, Murong Hao has no opinion, and the thirty-thirty-two brother Jinyi Wei who accompanied him is the top among thousands of people. There were still thirty-three secret guards in the secret, and he had nothing to fear.
In the past, after a night of hunger, these victims had only one steamed bun every morning. It wasn't enough to fill their stomachs, but it was the only thing they could eat. I was so hungry that I went to the trash can behind the tavern inn, but there were so many people that the leftovers were not enough.
They were guarding the soup kitchen early in the morning, and every time those large buckets of buns or porridge were brought from afar, there were many officials guarding them, and if they dared to mess around, they would be beaten.
So these days, these victims are honestly queuing up to get food.
There were more servants this morning, and not only that, but there were also guards. The vat, covered with a white cloth, was steaming. The north wind blew towards them, and they didn't know if they were too hungry, but they felt that today's steamed buns smelled a lot more fragrant than before.
In a short time, they saw a mild-mannered young man walking beside the food, and more importantly, the lord of the city followed behind the young man, as if he respected this young man.
While staring at the steamed buns in the bucket, they looked at Murong Hao, and they didn't dare to look at it anymore. It looks so gentle. But there was a strange deterrent that scared them.
Murong Hao came to the place where the soup porridge was served, and Nan Jiawei opened his mouth to introduce Murong Hao's identity, and the people around him naturally knelt down in fright, except for Murong Hao's Jinyi Guard, everyone else knelt down.
At this time, Murong Hao opened his mouth to ask them to get up, and then began to distribute steamed buns, three steamed buns and a bowl of porridge per person. For these victims, this is already very rich, and they can eat enough! I don't know how grateful I am to Murong Hao in my heart.
Murong Hao watched them holding steamed buns and holding porridge, his face was happy, and his eyes were shining. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, these victims can be so satisfied with eating a few coarse noodles and steamed buns and a bowl of porridge without taste, and it's time for him to reflect on himself.
"Rest assured, you will be able to eat every meal in the future, your home will be rebuilt soon, and we will build drainage channels, so that you will not have to be affected by floods in the future!" Murong Hao spoke loudly.
This group of victims who still didn't know what to do and what to do immediately ignited hope, and they respected Murong Hao more and more.
Nan Jiawei looked at the appearance of those victims, but still didn't understand that the emperor came here from a busy time just to say these few words? Isn't it just a decree coming down?
He thought that he would have to discuss it with Lao He when he went back and see what he had to say.
Murong Hao did not leave the location of the victims until the food was distributed, and returned to Nanjiawei's mansion. Along the way, he tried to be as gentle as possible, and sometimes released his own momentum to deter and deter. Leave a gentle and reverent image for these people.
Nan Jiawei didn't dare to go down to rest without the emperor's order, he had never stood for so long, his legs were already sore, and he couldn't walk fast.
Murong Hao sat on the chair above, very satisfied with today's result, looked up and saw Nan Jiawei still standing in the hall, and said in a gentle tone: "It's nothing, you go down first." ”
When Nan Jiawei got this sentence, he immediately saluted and retired, and went back to the study to sit directly on the chair with tiger skin, which really tired him!
He couldn't guess the emperor's intentions at all, but he didn't dare to underestimate it. The emperor's temperament is very impressive when he looks at his young body, and his eyes look at you like that, and he can send chills down his spine without speaking.
Lao He received the news of Nan Jiawei's return and immediately rushed to the study. I saw Nan Jiawei sitting on a chair pondering something, hesitating whether to disturb or not.
Nan Jiawei had already discovered him, and hurriedly beckoned him to come over and said, "Lao He come in and close the door!" ”
Lao He did as he said, and came to Nan Jiawei's side, Nan Jiawei sat down and wondered: "Lao He, we don't understand the reason why the emperor suddenly came to Luoyang, forget it, why does the emperor have to contact those disaster victims in person, these things are completely inconsistent with his identity!" ”
Lao He just has more methods, how can he understand Murong Hao's behavior. Hearing Nan Jiawei's words, he lowered his head and thought for a moment before shaking his head and said, "City Lord, we can't guess what the emperor is thinking, but there must be a reason for him to do these things." ”
"You're right, but I don't know the emperor's intentions, and I'm under a lot of pressure to be by the emperor's side! The good emperor came to Luoyang...... He also talked to the victims to encourage them, and these victims are probably grateful to the emperor now. It's just that we have a little trouble, we have to use the silver taels they sent to buy grain and grass as soon as possible, if the emperor directly sends supplies over instead of sending silver, maybe it will be more convenient. Nan Jiawei said almost to himself.
Lao He heard that something seemed to flash in his mind, but he didn't catch him and gave up, and waited for a while before standing up and asking, "City Lord, I'm going to buy grain and grass now?" ”
"Well, you can think about why the emperor suddenly appeared in Luoyang first!" Nan Jiawei didn't dare to ask Murong Hao, he couldn't think of it and felt uncomfortable. I have to find a reason.
Lao He obviously knew his temperament, so he sat down a little helplessly, thought about the time of tea, and said: "City Lord, the emperor should have come to see those disaster victims, no matter how deep I am, I can't figure it out." ”
Nan Jiawei felt that the wound on his forehead began to hurt again, "Lao He, I also know that the emperor is here for those disaster victims, can't you say something I don't know about?" ”
"City Lord, Lao He really doesn't know!"
Nan Jiawei: "......"
Lao He thought about it, and the only thing that could be remembered was that the King of Zhongshan and the princess had a high reputation among the people, but they Zhongshan Wang Zhi was not on the throne, so this should have nothing to do with the emperor?
He couldn't figure it out and persuaded Nan Jiawei: "City Lord, it's better not to figure out the emperor's affairs, in case the emperor finds out and is angry, our fate will be ......."
What Lao He said was very reasonable, Nan Jiawei gave up after thinking about it, they could only know that the emperor must have something to do with the disaster victims when he came here, and the matter of the disaster silver has not been resolved, and they don't know if they can save their heads!
"Okay, you go and get busy with food and grass, the emperor now has to give these victims two or three meals a day, and they must be fed for each meal, and you can buy as much food as you want."
Lao He paused before nodding to indicate that he knew, and after quietly retreating, Nan Jiawei was left alone to sit on the chair and ponder.
Things here are going on step by step, and the white clothes who set off to find Dawn in the grassland were miserable.
From the sudden heavy rain, floods, etc., he was trapped in the middle of the road, and finally reached the grassland, and he was lost and couldn't find the place where the morning light was, which was where he made a mistake.
The second is that he actually saw Dongfang Qiu on this grassland, after Dongfang Qiu fled the Central Plains, he didn't deliberately chase him, but when he saw him outside, he would never let him go!
However, he followed and followed these two people, one of whom was wearing a cloak, the height was almost the same as that of Dongfang Qiu, and he was also a man. It was the momentum exuded by this man that made him not dare to step forward impulsively, otherwise according to Dongfang Qiu's current skills, he would definitely be able to kill him if he was serious!
Bai Yi found nothing, the only thing he missed was that he found the border city, although he didn't know where Chenxi was in the grassland, but now, he could only go into this city to rest and recuperate, and then go where to inquire.
Bai Yi easily entered the city, thinking that Dongfang Qiu would also sneak into this city? Otherwise, how could he have followed them here, and suddenly disappeared......
Thinking of this, he tore a corner of his clothes to cover his face, but he had just walked a few steps before he was inspected by the soldiers on the side.
The soldier asked, "New here?" Where did it come from? ”
Bai Yi froze and casually said a village from a flooded village. He'd been there in the rain before, and he remembered the name.
The soldier looked up and down at the white clothes, his hair was a little messy and covered with broken steps on his face, his clothes were torn a lot, and he looked like a dusty man, only a simple burden on his back.
What's more, that village is one of the disaster areas, and the soldier nodded and said, "You come with me,"
Bai Yi didn't understand why, but he didn't go against the soldier, he didn't want to cause trouble, he just wanted to find Dawn quietly. And he went with the soldier.
As he walked, he looked down at the clothes on his body, only caring about following Dongfang Qiu, his clothes were torn in several places, they should have been scraped when he was in a hurry to dodge, and they were also very dirty......
