Chapter 059: Lin Tanhua Shows Talent in Disaster Relief (2)

The snow disaster happened suddenly, but the court reacted very quickly, which prevented anyone from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. Emperor Hongzheng is not a very superstitious emperor, but he can't escape the idea of "being ordered by heaven", if someone takes advantage of the previous snow disaster in the south and the heavy snow in the suburbs of Beijing to make any unfavorable remarks about the emperor, I am afraid that it will be another bloody storm.

Lin Jue is now following the prince on an errand, but he doesn't want any turmoil at this time.

Li Yibai served in the Ministry of Industry, and although the prince was responsible for the transfer of this snow disaster, all the ministries were not idle. Lin Jue happened to be in charge of the post-disaster reconstruction work, but it coincided with the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, Li Yibai took the opportunity to follow up openly, and followed Lin Jue back to Lin's house in the evening, which was called "discussing government affairs".

With the prince's ridiculous gaze, Lin Jue could only stiffen and carry the koala hanging on his body home.

Li Lin and the others are not still thinking about doing some animal things at this time, but in recent days, they have seen too many deaths and injuries, and Li Yibai is inevitably a little sentimental. It is said that he and Lin Jue have both died once, and now they can live again and stay together, and they are really reluctant to separate. Sometimes, Li Yibai really wanted to hang a rope on Lin Jue's body and hook it around his waist, so as not to make a mistake and this person would disappear.

Lin Jue didn't know what Li Yibai was thinking about Xiao Qiongyao, and when he saw Li Yibai staring at him in a daze, he immediately stretched out his five fingers and shook them in front of his eyes, "Why are you stupid?" ”

Li Yibai sighed and glanced at Lin Jue sadly, never thinking about hearing anything soft from this person.

"You just mentioned it, and I also considered it. The imperial court has always given money to provide food and goods, exempted and exempted forced labor, and sometimes borrowed grain from the people, or cashed work for relief, but did not directly help build houses. What's more, it's winter, and it's freezing cold, so it's not suitable to break ground. Lin Jue didn't have the mind to talk to him about the snow, and Li Yibai had to talk to him about business first, after all, disaster relief was still important, and he still had to find the right time for his little romance.

Lin Jue pondered for a moment, "It's just that the victims have been living in Chenjia Grange, which is really inappropriate." I heard that there are people in the court who have now impeached His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for disturbing the people. ”

"It's just that the sixth child was beaten by the emperor, and he was not angry in his heart, so he had a bad idea, and the emperor won't take it seriously." Li Yibai didn't care.

"Three people become tigers, and all mouths are gold, do you still use me to teach you this truth?" Lin Jue glanced at Li Yibai, this person is getting more and more out of shape, and now he doesn't even like to move his brain, so he is really lazy to read.

"The six princes personally gave porridge to the victims, and used the prince's exploits to earn themselves a shout, and the six princesses contacted the various prefectures to give orders, and heard that there were really tighter ones, and they were also forced to take out the silver, and now many of the orders are secretly scolding her. Empress Chen did not stop in the harem, and used the things of the previous dynasty to give the prince eye medicine, and was reprimanded by the emperor, leaving a sentence of 'the harem must not interfere in politics', and she has not seen Empress Chen for five days. The emperor has experienced the disaster of seizing the heir, and he will not be confused by the villain, so you can rest assured. ”

Lin Jue was still not very relieved, and Li Yibai knew that no matter how much he explained, it would be useless, so he stopped talking. Now the emperor's mind is actually very good, such as himself, his mother is just a little palace maid, because she was raised by the queen of the Yuan, and the prince is very good, so she is greatly valued, if you say anything about flesh and blood, it is really limited.

For example, Lin Jue, although there is Lin Ruhai's relationship in it, it is also because of Lin Jue's special identity. Lin Jue's background is destined that he will only rely on the emperor and can only rely on the emperor, and he will only support the emperor's personal crown prince.

These people are just guns in the hands of the emperor, for the sake of the crown prince, pointing and fighting. Fortunately, although the prince usually likes to tease Lin Jue, he is actually a rare and kind person, otherwise he would really be spoiled by this father and son.

The victims are now resettled, but it is only a stopgap measure to help the people rebuild their houses, so that they can return to their original lives and build up their confidence in life for a long time.

However, most people are like this, seeing that the government is dedicated to doing things for the people, and the three princes often go deep into the people to understand the people's feelings, so there are those who love to be cheap, and take the opportunity to make many demands from the foolish people.

Lin Jue observed quietly for two days, and took down the two most troublesome and drove out of the grange directly. Standing in front of everyone, Lin Jue arched his hand in the direction of the capital and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the emperor's grace is mighty, and he can't bear to put his people in danger, so he sent us to act on behalf of the heavens to appease the people of Li." But I don't want to have such lazy people, and I try to make a profit from this, which is really despicable. ”

Lin Jue bowed deeply to the two elderly people who helped to pacify the people, "The old man is noble, we are too young to serve the public, if it weren't for the old man to help, I am afraid of disaster." ”

The two old men hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, and said humbly: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." ”

Lin Jue said with a smile: "Jue is in an official position, but he is young, and there is no help from the elderly, so I don't know what to do today." This worship, the second elder deserves it. ”

He also said to the people: "The official is here today, firstly, to punish such people who love right and wrong, and secondly, to discuss with the big guys about rebuilding the house. ”

Lin Jue invited the two old men to sit down, and called the two people who were pushed as the leaders of the house to come over together to discuss the construction of the house.

"If the son has allocated two taels of silver today, and there are donations from the nobles, the grain and cotton for the people to spend the winter are enough. It's just that after all, there is no place to stay, and when the spring begins, I have to be busy with spring planting, I think, it is better to spend some effort to lay the foundation at this time, and build the house first, how do you think? ”

Lin Jue does not use official coercion to suppress people, he is so humble and polite, and the four people present are grateful. A swarthy man shrank his hand, glanced at Lin Jue, and said cautiously: "Don't hide it from your lord, it's really not easy to get the mud plastering wall at this time. ”

Nowadays, most of the people live in the Chenjia Grange, although it is not enough to keep warm, in the end, it is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and many people have just experienced disasters and do not want to move lightly. And the words and deeds of the two people before still affected some people.

Without waiting for Lin Jue to speak, an old man said with a dark face: "Second Tiger, how to embarrass Lord Xiaolin, we are just staying here, and we have been causing trouble to others." ”

Lin Jue listened to the old man's very knowledgeable appearance, and couldn't help but look at it twice, and the old man arched his hand and said: "The little old man is a private school teacher in Zhangjia Village not far from here, and his surname is Zhang reads;." ”

Lin Jue hurriedly replied: "It turned out to be Mr. Zhang, disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

The old man hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Such an old gentleman, not to mention that he is also famous for his talents, although he is really far from a tanhualang like Lin Jue, but in the countryside, he is also well-known and respected. No wonder as soon as he opened his mouth, many people were not convinced and did not dare to say more.

Lin Jue's words also had a little more respect, "Mr. Zhang, what should be done about this matter?" ”

Lin Jue was humble, and Mr. Zhang did not twist, and said: "The house was collapsed by heavy snow, but the original foundation is still there, but now there are ten rooms and nine empty, it is better to gather the villagers in one place and re-strengthen the house on the original foundation." After all, winter has not passed, and it is not clear whether there will be heavy snow again, so you still have to pay attention. There are still a lot of young and middle-aged people left, so it is better to organize some people to take turns to keep vigil, which can somewhat prevent the heavy snow from collapsing the house again. ”

Lin Jue nodded in agreement, "The old gentleman's method is very good, but now the imperial court can't allocate manpower, and we still need to do it ourselves to rebuild the house." ”

The old gentleman said: "It was our own business, the emperor's grace is mighty, and now we are not hungry, and we are exempted from taxes for two years, and we dare not demand anything else." ”

Lin Jue said: "It is not easy for the people, the prince instructed me that the people rebuild their houses is regarded as work for relief, and the court will pay for it." Although it is not much, it is better to reserve more and save it for a good year. Having said that, Lin Jue also knows that this year, nine out of ten families are not having a good time, and a heavy snowfall has destroyed many families. At this time, Lin Jue couldn't help but think of modern reinforced concrete buildings, although they are not as charming as ancient wooden structures, but they are stronger, at least there will be no heavy snow to collapse the house. sighed, why didn't I study chemistry in the first place, but I can also study how cement is made.

Among the surviving people, there were also many women. It's just a flat-headed common people, but they don't pay so much attention to it, so Lin Jue arranged a few women to help cook together. There were also some strong women, and Lin Jue also asked the overseer to arrange some light work, so as to earn a few dollars to defend themselves.

Many of them have lost their husbands and children, and they are still crying and crying the first day, but the next day they have a job to do, as if they have forgotten their troubles. Lin Jue couldn't help but think secretly: No wonder there are few women from poor families who are sad and sad, running around for life every day, how can they have so much time to think about these things?

For example, Daiyu, because everything in the house has to pass through her hands, she rarely makes some sad poems, and she is also a lot more lively. Even if there is no love, it will not wither and decay like flowers, which can really make people feel at ease.

The Ministry of Works chose a place and immediately began construction. The weather was beautiful, and after the heavy snowfall that night, the weather was sunny for several days. Later, although there were two snowfalls, it was not big, which was really reassuring.

A natural disaster, with the efforts of everyone, minimized the loss. There are also surpluses of the 200,000 taels of silver allocated by the emperor's inner treasury, which shows the prince's ability. At the very least, it is definitely better than the six princes who took one million taels of silver to the south for disaster relief, but did an extremely mediocre job.

The emperor praised the prince Lin Jue and Qi Wenzhao in the court meeting, and also praised the two departments assisting the Ministry of Household and Industry, the prince, the king of Yonghe County, Lin Jue, and Qi Wenzhao, all of whom were rewarded by the emperor. On the other hand, the six princes who won the praise of the people in this snow disaster, but the emperor did not mention a word.

The sixth prince lowered his head, not knowing what he was planning, Lin Jue secretly looked at this prince, but it was indeed as Li Yibai said, his mind was too shallow and superficial. Because of Empress Chen's sealing, he also trembled, but he became more and more unable to recognize his identity. It seems that it will be planted in the hands of the crown prince sooner or later.

Lin Jue lightly picked the corners of his lips, maybe he had some hatred, it was not that he didn't revenge, the time had not yet come.
