The increase in taxes and silver throughout the country immediately aroused the anger of the already dissatisfied people. The common people are already living in poverty, and the family relies on that little land to collect grain, and the family can't get enough to eat after getting rid of the taxes and grains paid, and now it suddenly adds another layer, which still makes the people live?

The common people were disgusted with the Empress Dowager and plotting to usurp the throne, but in the end, the Empress Dowager had not yet been proclaimed emperor, and she did not really treat the people well.

Although there are many corrupt officials, they have not fully affected the lives of the people. But now that the new deal has come out, the common people have to pay an extra layer of tax and silver, which directly offends the lives of the common people, merchants, and hawkers, making their lives more difficult.

It was more difficult, and they were more tired of living. Maybe some poor families don't have to sell their children and daughters, because they really can't support their children, so they have to sell them and let them fend for themselves.

The cries and scolding of the common people have become a symphony of the entire capital. And the refugees in the towns around the capital, because they are too poor,

They had to come to the capital, hoping to have something to eat in the capital. The capital and the city were full of refugees, poor children and women. The people of the capital are soft-hearted and will give food to eat.

There are ruthless people, watching them starv, watching them die.

One of the things that Mrs. Wu must do every day is to take her two granddaughters and personally go to deliver food and food to those poor people.

Although she may not be able to help everyone, Mrs. Wu always has to do what she can do, and she can help one person alone. However, there are too many refugees. There are so many refugees who will never be able to eat, and children who will starve to death.

Mrs. Wu was distressed when she looked at it, she was raised by her parents. Seeing those poor children, everyone will feel distressed, everyone will be soft-hearted, no one is a cold-blooded animal, and no one really doesn't care about life and death.

Mrs. Wu began to save the silver of the Wu Mansion, from eating to drinking, from using to wearing. Everything can be saved.

And because of Mrs. Wu's soup kitchen, more and more kind-hearted women in the capital began to give these refugees food and drink as much as they could. Although it is still not enough. But that's enough.

Many ladies in the capital were influenced by Mrs. Wu, and they also followed Mrs. Wu's actions one after another, and began to feed the refugees in private.

The more people there are, the more refugees they can help. Most importantly. These ladies and Mrs. Wu actually started their activities in private.

It looks like some ordinary cherry blossom viewing party. It has all become a money donation club, and many noble ladies have taken out their savings and started to form a rescue club.

The ladies donated the silver together, and then went together to buy a large amount of food, and then set up porridge shacks in various points in the capital to feed the refugees. In this way, at least show that the refugees in the capital will not starve to death one by one.

And Mrs. Wu also mobilized the temples in the capital. Let these temples be able to receive refugees and give them a place to live. Even if it's a place where you can be sheltered from the wind and rain.

And the temple was already receiving the incense of the noblewomen in the capital, and now if they don't make some appearance and take in these refugees, I am afraid it will be difficult for the noblewomen to continue to donate silver to the temple. Therefore, the major temples around the capital are full of refugees.

Some of these refugees were homeless, childless, and went straight to the monasteries. In this troubled world, if you can find a quiet place and have a bite to eat, what about being a family?

Because of the actions of these noblewomen in the capital, the refugees in the capital have been alleviated to a certain extent, and the people in the capital are not so repulsive to these refugees. The lives of the refugees are not as bad as they used to be.

All this is thanks to Mrs. Wu, but Mrs. Wu always can't push other ladies out, never dares to take credit, and never dares to admit her own credit.

This also made Mrs. Wu win a lot of praise among the noblewomen, and everyone wants to be praised, especially the noblewomen, who care most about reputation. Who doesn't want to be famous?

Mrs. Wu's concession has fulfilled many noblewomen, in fact, Mrs. Wu has no way, if she doesn't do this, she will have a good reputation, and when the time comes, she will annoy the Queen Mother.

But Mrs. Wu wanted to help these refugees too much, and understood their helplessness and suffering too well. I really help these people, not for fame, nor for praise, but I just hope to help them.

Mrs. Wu lamented that these noblewomen still have pity and kindness, otherwise they would not have treated those refugees so kindly.

At the same time, Mrs. Wu was strongly dissatisfied with the Empress Dowager in her heart, why did she make so many refugees and so many victims homeless because of her selfishness?

So many children have lost their parents, so many mothers have lost their children, they have done nothing, they have not made any mistakes, why should they bear the responsibility, this is also too unfair.

Mrs. Wu's actions naturally angered the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was furious, and directly issued an order to announce that Mrs. Wu had entered the palace.

Mrs. Wu also expected this, so she was very calm, if she allowed herself to watch the refugees suffer, she would not be able to help, if she did not take a look, she would not be able to do it.

When Mrs. Wu watched the Empress Dowager sitting on the dragon chair, she understood in her heart that the Empress Dowager really wanted to ascend the throne.

If his master knew that the Empress Dowager had ascended the throne, he would be like ashes. The lord has been loyal to the Nangong royal family for so many years,

Now seeing that the world is defeated in the hands of an old woman, how desolate should my heart be, how helpless and painful it should be! Mrs. Wu knelt on the ground, her face was calm, what should come will come eventually.

"The mourning family announced that you entered the palace, do you know why?"

Mrs. Wu lowered her head in a formal manner and said softly: "The courtiers don't know! Please also ask the Empress Dowager to make it clear. ”

The Empress Dowager smiled coldly, "Lord Wu is far away in the border city, but he does not contribute to the country, but Mrs. Wu is worried a lot about his family." The mourners thought,

Since Mrs. Wu is so worried about the country and the people, why didn't she write a letter to Lord Wu on behalf of the mourning family, and let Lord Wu think of a way to let the Mo family children return to obedience?

Mrs. Wu knew that if this war started, the refugees would not be what Mrs. Wu saw today, maybe there would be more and more, and even if Mrs. Wu had a big potential, she would not be able to help these refugees. ”

Mrs. Wu lowered her head, but sneered in her heart, who caused all this, it is not all the work of the Empress Dowager.

Now you are embarrassed to say this, and you have caused the war. Mrs. Wu now really hopes that Mo Li can come to the capital, liberate the people, and let the people no longer have to be oppressed by this old woman.

Let the world be truly peaceful, I want my lord to persuade Mo Li, and I don't look at the aspirations of the people in this world.

Mrs. Wu dares to guarantee that it will not be long before the world will be obedient. When the time comes, you, the old woman, will have to bear it, and the people of the world will definitely want your old life.

But Mrs. Wu had a look of panic on her face, a picture of how afraid she was of the Empress Dowager. (To be continued......)
