Chen Yuanheng said angrily: "The reason why the Tiebi Pass will be broken is because the military department is controlled by the Wang family, Shangshu is the younger brother of Prime Minister Wang, and Wang Shangshu and Prime Minister Wang are both the brothers of Queen Wang and the uncle of the prince. Wang Shangshu for personal gain, deducted the annual supplies to the border pass, the weapons given are also worn, the number is also deducted, this is nothing, when the barbarians came to attack, the Tiebi Pass generals with dilapidated weapons to block, while flying to Beijing to report, as a result, was detained by Wang Shangshu and Wang Chengxiang, because at that time they were preparing to attack Wan Guifei's brothers, afraid that the border pass would come to report goodbye to their plan, originally thought that it didn't matter if it was hidden for a few days, but I didn't expect that the Tiebi Pass was really broken. ”

When Chen Wenhui heard this, she was furious, as if she had returned to the feeling of reading modern history when she was in school in her previous life, when the great powers devoured the country, and the people were still only concerned about infighting. Now that this scene is happening vividly in front of her eyes, she can't help but hate these court officials, and she really wants to pry her brain open to see what they think.

The Bai family was also very angry: "It's all for the palace fight, because you want to fight for power and profit, because you want to fight for the dragon's merits, regardless of the people, don't you even want the country?" Even if it is taken and invaded by the barbarians, do you want to be the king of the fallen country? ”

Chen Wenjun said: "This is the disadvantage of appointing relatives. Doesn't the emperor know? ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "How can the emperor not know? But since the establishment of our dynasty, it was established with the help of the great aristocratic families, and the families held real power, which was a disadvantage accumulated for several generations. The emperor always wants to reform, but there are too many constraints, and he himself is the grandson of the family. However, this time the emperor was very angry, dismissed the prime minister of Wang Cheng, and appointed the leftist Lord Lu Yuanchu as the prime minister. Wang Shangshu of the military department was also exiled and appointed to the Zhao family of the military generals. ”

Bai Shi hurriedly asked: "Which Zhao family, is it the loyal and righteous Zhao family?" ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Yes. The emperor originally wanted to abolish the queen, but was stopped by the courtiers, and only punished the queen for thinking about it behind closed doors. Now the six palaces are under the management of Concubine De. ”

Bai Yixi: "Ah." Then our mother is out of the blue. ”

Chen Yuanheng smiled bitterly: "What's this, it's just a mirror, our family doesn't have a prince, the emperor is because Concubine De has no prince, and our family has been weak in recent years." Only then did the eldest sister take charge of palace affairs. ”

Bai thought about it too.

Chen Yuanheng added: "It is estimated that the victims should arrive in a month. My eldest sister wrote me a secret letter herself. asked me to resettle the victims, but she didn't say it, I also wanted to resettle. ”

Chen Wenhui hurriedly asked, "Father." So how are you preparing now? ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Now that the news has not spread, I have secretly asked Wang Yihe to buy grain, and Lan Shanghan to buy sackcloth and Gebu in bulk." What surprised me the most was Wanjia, who knew a lot of pharmacists and took the initiative to buy medicinal materials. ”

Chen Wenhui said: "We can't let everyone pay for nothing, when the time comes, we will find more work for the victims, so that the victims can make money and help themselves." In this way, everyone will not make money. There will be no loss either. ”

Chen Yuanheng said: "Yes, I have told you about this method, the money spent by the first batch of victims will be paid by the county government first, and then returned to the county government after the disaster victims have paid their wages, so that everyone in the province will lose money." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Then the time comes." It is necessary for the officials to help register the victims of the disaster and elect the leaders, so that it is easier to manage, and it also saves some people from fraudulently receiving money and food. ”

Chen Yuanheng nodded.

In such a lunar day, the people of Ancheng are happily preparing for the New Year. The Chen family, as well as the Wang family, the Wan family, the Lan family, and some officials of the Chen Yuanheng faction such as Huang Tingzhen, who were friends with the Chen family, were busy preparing various materials such as food, medicinal materials, and cloth.

Five days have passed in the busyness. On this day, Chen Yuanheng and Bai said: "The prefect Feng Liangren already knows the news, and he asked me to take over now." I'm going to leave for Deqing tomorrow. I took my two sons with me, Ziyu, Li Huan, and Chen Cai's father. Madam, you and Hui'er are at home, you should be careful. ”

Bai Shi nodded and hurriedly went to prepare the items. Previously, I only prepared things that Chen Yuanheng applied, and those who did not prepare Chen Wenjun and Chen Wenlin had to be prepared now. Chen Wenhui also came to help, bringing a lot of emergency pills, and a purse containing money, which contained copper coins, scattered silver taels, and a few silver tickets, ranging from ten taels to one hundred taels.

The next day they set off. Bai Shi seemed to have a piece of his heart gouged out, standing at the door and crying silently, but Chen Wenhui said: "Mother, now is the time for us to do work, not the time to worry. ”

One sentence cheered Bai up, and he was busy again. It seems that I want to suppress the worries in my heart with busyness.

After another ten days, Chen Yuanheng sent a letter saying that he had taken over, and the officials of the four counties of the remaining prefecture had come to talk to him and wash the dust for him, but he told everyone the news, and made arrangements to prepare to resettle the victims. Some officials were afraid that the war would spread, and some officials were afraid that the victims would come and cause unrest, and only a few advocated resettlement of the victims. Chen Yuanheng quietly wrote down the names of these officials. Then, I strongly told everyone that there are still a few days, the victims are coming, Ancheng is ready, I hope they are also ready, when the time comes, most of the disaster victims will go to Ancheng, but some will also go to other counties, I hope they will do a good job, if the resettlement is not effective, then it will not be polite, and directly take off the black yarn hat. After speaking, he deliberately revealed that he was born in the Chen family, and now Concubine De, who is in charge of the affairs of the six palaces in the palace, is his own sister. As soon as these words were revealed, these officials immediately said that they would definitely work hard to do a good job and resettle the victims.

Speaking of this, Chen Yuanheng sighed to the Bai family in the letter, it turned out that the words of the prefect were not as effective as the words of Concubine De's younger brother. Chen Wenhui laughed when she saw this. After Bai laughed, he directly burned the letter, such a letter cannot be kept.

After another two days, Ancheng knew about this matter from top to bottom, and the people were a little panicked, but Ancheng had already prepared, officials at all levels were orderly, and the price of grain in the grain store did not rise, although the people rushed to buy grain, but it seemed that there was a lot of grain in stock, and some of them were bought and taken out from the warehouse.

After another two days, the first group of victims finally arrived.

It was already the end of the lunar month, and the first batch of victims numbered more than 2,000 people, who had traveled too far and were driven away by hunger and cold, and they longed for a warmer south, and along the way they were only given a gruel by the rich and the government to drink, and there was no place to take them in. They walked slowly to Anseong, their eyes numb and their clothes were ragged, but they didn't expect that at the gate of Anseong, a cauldron had already been set up, and the fragrant porridge had been prepared, waiting for them. Of course, there are also such things on the road, and they all drink porridge and go on the road.

However, Anseong is different, there are officials here, and the officials control them, and they have to go to register their identity before they drink porridge, and then get an identity tag, and they can only drink porridge with this brand. After drinking, the officials told them that they should cut down wood, build adobe, and build a house, and this house was for them to live in, but it was not enough to build them for 2,000 people, and they had to build more, because there were still people to live in. Building a house is not built in vain, wages are given every day, porridge is only given three meals, and more than three meals are not provided, if you want to eat, you have to work, and you can naturally buy food when you receive wages.

In the face of such conditions, the victims did not complain, but were happy, this is going to build a house for themselves, although it is a simple house, this is also to say to take them in, they have been trekking for too long, there is no hope, I did not expect, in this small county, there is an official government willing to take them in, many of them have dried up eyes and tears in their eyes, too much misfortune, too much sorrow, the war is coming, their homes are destroyed, their relatives are killed, too many people have died on their way, They didn't know how to shed tears anymore, and now they couldn't help but cry when they heard that there was finally a place to accept them. At first, it was just a few people whimpering, and then more and more cries, which reminded them of the suffering that happened to them, and the louder they wept, and finally, the crying shook the sky, and the people of Anseong couldn't help but cry when they heard it, and consciously walked out of the city gate to help them settle.

Some people took out old clothes at home, some people took out old bedding at home, and some people took out food at home to comfort and relieve the victims. Chen Wenhui was also in their ranks, but the Chen Mansion was very well prepared, not only took out old clothes and old bedding, but also sent many family members to ask the victims if they had any skills, and if so, they registered and looked for jobs for them.

In this way, soon, the well-fed victims took action, and the able-bodied men went to the government to cut wood, the old people and children followed to collect wood, and the big trees were kept to build houses, and the small branches were also collected, which were to be kept for cooking and heating.

The women were also organized, the needlework was taken away by the Chen family, went to the workshop to make clothes and bedding, and some went to help cook, more than 2,000 people eat, how many big pots are needed, and someone must cook in front of each pot, so that there is no need to wait in line for food to eat, which greatly increases the work efficiency. Of course, these people, whether they are fellers, pickers, needlework, or cooks, are paid. It's just that the wages are given according to the work done by each person, and the most profitable are felling and adobe, then needlework, then cooking, and the least is picking branches. The money is all from the yamen. The yamen had already exchanged a lot of copper coins, waiting for the victims to receive them after they worked. The wages were paid once a day, so that the victims could immediately use the money to buy food.

ps：

The plot about the rescue of the victims is the most serious thing I have written.

I hope you will give me more advice.
