Chapter 381 - Flood Control Construction (3rd Update)

Huan Ji waved her hand, "It doesn't matter, the prefect is also anxious about the people." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

When the prefect saw the princess explaining to him, he hurriedly said: "Yes, it's that the lower officials are too anxious, please take your time." ”

Huan Ji smiled: "I want to separate all the refugees, now that their families are together, it is easy to have an accident because they don't have enough to eat." I want to organize all the people who are over eighteen years old to be brought to the levee to build the levee; We requisitioned the restaurants in the city, and let the women of the refugees cook for everyone, and if they are strong, they will deliver food; As for the elderly, they brought water and rice to those who were sick and wounded, sprinkled and swept the yard, and cleaned up; Those who are a little older let them take care of younger children and the elderly with limited mobility. ”

All the officials praised: "Wonderful, wonderful, so that some people go to work on the dam, and the pressure on the government is reduced." ”

The prefect is slandered in his heart, and his scheming is really heavy, isn't it rumored that Princess Huanji is only for the people and is not afraid of any power.

Although this is also for the people, how can it feel so wrong, you call all the laborers to work on the embankment, their families are all in the city, and the people on the dam can only work honestly. The women in the city knew that their husbands were on the dam, so they could only concentrate on cooking and working in the city, and the children and the old people all gathered together and became hostages in disguise.

Huan Ji has a reputation for protecting children, and there is a medical team in the city that can give them better care.

The remaining dozen or so officials, with Gu Yuan's help, all did what Princess Huanji had ordered.

Day 1, inside the first refugee camp.

"I don't go to the dam, if you don't get it and fall into the water, you will die." A man covered in tatters said.

A woman beside him cried and said, "My son, you can't go." ”

Other people are also unwilling, and who wants to be involved in major matters related to life and death.

Wei Zhong, Chinese New Year's Eve, started from Zhixian, served as a Zhixian for three years, a prefect for ten years, and only entered the Beijing Division two years ago, because he was from a poor background and had no family background, he has been hidden in the middle of the dynasty.

Wei Zhong said: "If your family is unwilling, just leave, the relief materials of the imperial court have not yet arrived, and now all you eat are donated by the rich families in the city." People donate food and money for relief, just to protect one more day of beggars, what about you? If you are not willing to contribute, then there will be no relief food, and the food that exists first will be given to the people who work the dam. ”

There was a lot of discussion in the refugee camp, and someone said: "This adult is right, we have hands and feet, there is no reason to sit here and eat other people's food, but if I go to the dam, what will my family do?" ”

Wei Zhong said: "You don't have to worry about this, your family is young and in good health, and you can cook for you when you are young or old." In short, we adults will take care of them one by one, and you have also seen that we adults have brought a team of doctors, and they will be divided into two batches, one group will follow you to the dam, and one group will stay to take care of the elderly and children. ”

After Wei Zhong's explanation, many people were willing.

As long as most people are willing, everyone likes to follow suit, and everyone else is willing.

Wei Zhong took the people to the second refugee camp again.

Of course, there were a few people who pretended to be sick, and Wei Zhong had no choice but to ask the princess for advice. These people are all mentally exhausted, but their bodies are not well nourished, and if they pretend to be sick and don't work, they really can't do anything.

After hearing this, Huan Ji only said one sentence, "Go to Gu Yuan, you can just go to her for such a trivial matter." ”

Gu Yuan took people to see the two pretending to be sick, Gu Yuan checked both sides, and snorted coldly: "The two of them are overnourished, and they can go to work on the dam after being hungry for three days." ”

One of them jumped up directly with a glare, and said, "You quack, will you see a doctor or not?" ”

Everyone else looked at the person who jumped up, and after his mother-in-law reacted, she pulled the corner of his clothes.

Gu Yuan smiled: "It's okay so soon?" ”

The man hurried and wailed again.

Gu Yuan said: "It doesn't matter, I'll give him a few stitches." ”

Gu Yuan took out a small cloth bag, and there were more than thirty silver needles inserted side by side.

Gu Yuan took out one of the thickest, the one that was almost as thick as the awl that contained the sole of his shoe.

The man's legs and stomach trembled with fright, and he hurriedly said, "I'm sick, I'm well, I'm sick, and I can go to work." ”

Gu Yuan asked the other person again, "Then I'll heal you." “

Wei Zhong behind him slandered in his heart, this is obviously a torture instrument used to force confessions, if this stitches go down, this person will lose half his life even if he doesn't die.

The man thought, "It should be nothing, it's better than doing hard labor on the dam." "He's a street thug, where can he do those jobs.

Gu Yuan didn't hesitate to prick a needle, only to see that the man fainted after shouting.

His mother-in-law sat on the ground and cried, saying that the government had killed people.

Gu Yuan said: "He should be in poor health, he just said too much, and this time he is just resting." ”

How could the woman believe her husband's words, knowing that she was pretending?

Gu Yuan pulled out the silver needle, pricked it in another place, and quickly pulled out the silver needle.

I saw the man scream again and wake up.

Gu Yuan said: "This is not good. ”

The people around who don't understand are amazed, and those who understand are secretly laughing in their hearts.

Gu Yuan said: "He doesn't have to eat for the next three days, as long as he comes three times a day, he will go to work on the dam without illness after three days." ”

As soon as these words came out, someone laughed, and the man hurriedly said, "I'm fine, I'm really good, and now I can go to work on the dam." ”

Gu Yuan nodded and said: "Although I am not on the dam, if anyone is lazy and does not work, all of them will be sent back to me, and I will serve him with twelve needles a day to ensure that all the lazy meat in his body is removed." ”

How dare anyone, twelve hours, that's not an hour, it's just a torture, the man shivered and stood obediently in the line.

The official document of the inspection of the imperial history was promulgated, and those who worked on the dam ate dry food, those who did light work ate porridge, and those who did not work drank water, except for the sick.

As soon as the official document was issued, even those seven or eight-year-old children would sit in one place with the old ones weaving straw shoes or mats; Some two- and three-year-old children go to catch insects and feed them to chickens and ducks, and they can only drink rice soup in their swaddling clothes.

If you want to be like a baby baby and just drink rice soup, that's also not a no.

As long as you don't contribute to it, you won't be able to receive handout porridge, and you won't be protected by officers and soldiers. Unless you have money, you are willing to pay for food, if you don't want anything, then it only depends on how long you can keep that little property. (To be continued.) )
