In the scorching summer, a round of scorching sun in the sky made it difficult for the people on the ground to move.

The second prince rode on the golden horse and silver saddle, and wiped the sweat on his forehead with a wave of his sleeves.

The accompanying eunuch stepped forward again: "Your Highness, it's too hot this day, why don't you go into Luan to rest!" ”

The second prince was suddenly moved, but remembering the purpose of this trip, he still shook his head.

"Speed up your pace, within seven days, you will definitely arrive in Shangling County!"

As the order of the second prince was handed down, everyone had to speed up their march under the scorching sun.

One day, when he arrived in Cangxi County, the second prince couldn't bear the sticky feeling on his body and decided to go into the city for a little repair.

When the county magistrate of Cangxi County heard that the second prince's Qin Chaluan was coming, he immediately led the county magistrate and dozens of officials out of the city to greet him.

The second prince did not say much about the enthusiasm of the county order of Cangxi County, but asked him to prepare some rooms and clear water, and most of the people only stopped for half a day before leaving.

Cangxi County Ling breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but his face was retained.

Under the guidance of the county order, as soon as they approached the city tower, they saw that outside the spacious mud courtyard dam under the city tower, there were more than a dozen officials armed with knives, guns and sticks, driving away the displaced people.

Looking at the mountains and forests in the distance, you can vaguely see a lot of people in ragged clothes.

The second prince's face was immediately gloomy.

All the way south, the further south you go, the more people you meet.

No other county or even town has ever had such a situation. At least not under his nose!

He also issued an order to all prefectures and counties, but if there was a flow of disaster victims, all porridge sheds should be set up and not violated.

Unexpectedly, this Cangxi County Commander dared to disobey his order in person!

Sensing the second prince's complexion, Han Zhilian asked instead, "Guixian." ”

"The lower official is here."

Although Han Zhihuan does not have an official uniform on his body, since he is a person next to the second prince, it is always right to call himself a lower official.

"Didn't your county receive an order from His Highness?"

Han Zhihuan asked.

Hearing this, the Cangxi County Commander turned around and glanced at the second prince, and knew it in his heart, turned around and knelt down:

"Please also ask Your Highness to be wise and humble and pay attention to it."

Seeing this, the second prince slowed down his face slightly and said, "You say." ”

"I have received a decree from His Highness a few days ago, but I dare not and cannot obey it."

The second prince looked surprised and said angrily: "What is your reason? ”

If someone dared to speak like this in the capital, he would have ordered it to be dealt with.

There was no fear in the eyes of the Cangxi County Commander, and he kowtowed: "Back to Your Highness, Cangxi County is only a small county, and the total number of people under the jurisdiction of the city is only thousands.

However, Cangxi County is located in the main road from Shandong to Beijing, since the disaster in Shandong has been spreading, the refugees who have flowed here have exceeded 10,000 people, and at this moment, there are nearly 1,000 people wandering here outside the city!

Such a huge number of victims is beyond the reach of a small county!

He had already counted all the grain in the county office, and if he had moved out all the surplus grain according to the duration of the relief for three months, it would only be enough to provide relief to more than 300 people. ”

Cangxi County ordered a loud road.

The second prince's complexion gradually became ugly

He knew that maybe the county order wasn't lying.

Generally, there are granaries above the prefectures and prefectures, and the grain stored by the government government in the land of a county is only the rations of public officials.

But if it is really as he said, after he traveled south, the first clear order became a faint order?

Han Zhihuan said: "Since you can give relief to more than 300 people, why don't you set up a shed to give relief and do this thing of expulsion?" ”

Cangxi County Ling showed a trace of mockery on his face for no reason, but he didn't let Han Zhihuan see it.

"Dissatisfied with this lord, the lower officials have already sent 300 displaced people into the city to cook porridge for relief.

However, there were too many displaced people, and in order to avoid disturbance, the lower officials had ordered the city gates to be closed, and they could only travel for one hour at noon every day.

As for the expulsion of the homeless, it is only for the sake of His Highness's safety.

If the adult thinks that the subordinate official has done something wrong, the subordinate official will be punished. ”

"You"

Han Zhihuan was speechless when he was squeezed.

Cangxi County Ling sneered in his heart, a group of sons and brothers who came out of Beijing, who were dressed in fine clothes and food, how do they know what is called natural disasters and what is called homeless people!

But take it for granted!

"You, get up."

The second prince took a deep breath.

"Your Highness."

Cangxi County Ling got up and said, "Your Highness, please enter the city as soon as possible, so as not to let the surrounding homeless people swarm here, and it will be difficult to withdraw at that time." ”

The second prince and his entourage were huge, and they carried a large amount of food, if it really became a climate for the displaced people, it was not impossible to be robbed by madness.

You know, here, it's already in Shandong.

Countless victims have gathered on this land, which has been ravaged by floods since ancient times.

The second prince shook his head and looked up into the distance. Loomingly, the outcasts who watched their party with awe and greed.

For the first time, the second prince felt that this line of work might be very difficult!

The words of Cangxi County's order sounded the alarm for him.

He had hardly seen anything like this all his journey.

Are those local governments more competent than Cangxi County Commander?

The second prince knew that this was impossible.

More likely, they are even inferior to Cangxi County.

In order to protect itself, Cangxi County at least explicitly stated that it could only provide relief to 300 people for three months, but what about other counties and prefectures?

Everywhere he went, porridge sheds were everywhere!

You know, it's not just for show.

If everyone is pretending, the second prince can't imagine how the entire Shandong, millions of affected people, 100,000 displaced victims, such a huge number, should be resettled one by one

Inexplicably, the second prince felt a ray of fear.

Before leaving Beijing, he never thought that this line would fail and mess things up.

The second prince didn't think about it, and if he didn't move, everyone didn't dare to move.

After a long time, the second prince finally came back to his senses, and his first sentence was to recruit Wang Zhen.

"Lord Wang, divide three hundred stone of grain and hand it over to the county order."

Wang Zhen suddenly said: "Your Highness, the household department has transferred a total of 8,000 stone grain to us, and now we have not arrived at the predetermined place, if we disperse the grain now, and there will be no food available at that time, how can we live?" ”

"Your Highness has his own opinions, and you just listen to orders."

The second prince said, turned to look at the Cangxi County Order: "His Royal Highness will give you 300 stones of fine grain, and let you Cangxi County accept another 1,000 people, you may agree?" ”

The Cangxi County Commander obviously didn't expect the second prince to do this, as a relief messenger, he did not collect grain from the local area, but sent grain.

However, if this is the case, perhaps the people of Shandong are really saved

"If His Royal Highness really gives 300 stone of grain to the lowly position, and the lowly position dares to guarantee it, within three months, he can ensure that 2,000 people will not starve to death, and the displaced people will be resettled to the greatest extent!"

Cangxi County ordered solemnly.

The second prince gave him 300 stone of grain to help 1,000 people, that is, half a catty of grain per person per day

This is too sufficient, it is really a relief for the victims, and one pound of food can be enough for four people in one day!

The second prince's face was overjoyed: "There is no lie? ”

"I don't dare to deceive Your Highness, but these people don't dare to put them in the city, and they only give relief outside the city, and I ask Your Highness to forgive me for this."

"Accurate!"

The second prince's heart was relieved, so that as long as he gave proper relief in Shangling, and there were states and counties along the way, there would not be too many victims flowing to the capital.

As long as it doesn't flow to the capital, everything is easy to say

After entering the city, the second prince ordered Wang Zhen to move all the rice and noodles out and make flatbreads that could be stored for a long time in Cangxi County, so as to facilitate the distribution to the victims along the way.

In the words of the second prince, they must be given the opportunity to find shelter, so that there will be no tragic situation of cannibalism as recorded in the history books!

These words quickly spread out, making the people of the entire Cangxi County boil.

The Cangxi County Order was even more encouraged, and immediately organized the people in the city to make bread for the second prince

In a small room in the county office, Jia Baoyu and Ye Hao repaired here.

"After His Highness arrived in Cangxi County, there seems to be some changes."

Ye Hao said so, and Jia Baoyu nodded.

"By the way, what does Ziheng think of His Highness's series of means?"

Looking at Ye Hao's already adoring face, he was obviously very satisfied with the actions of the second prince.

Jia Baoyu shook his head: "I don't know, because I haven't done disaster relief either, I know everything, but like His Highness, I only get it from the history books."

However, regardless of whether His Highness's methods are correct or the most effective, His Highness's kindness and love for the people are always touching.

I believe that things are man-made, and as long as His Royal Highness insists, he will definitely be able to do a good job in disaster relief. ”

Ye Hao agreed with Jia Baoyu's words: "I also believe that my cousin will be able to do things well and save the victims of the disaster in Shandong." ”
