Chapter 159: The Buddha broke ground on his head

Taiyuan City is large and has a lot of open space, mainly distributed in the northwest region, and these open spaces are temporarily designated as a place for refugees to stay.

It's just that at this time, it is cold and freezing, and it is impossible to be used as a bed on the ground, and countless people can freeze to death overnight, but fortunately, Chang Yu has ordered Cai Maode and other officials to find ways before, such as asking the people to donate, using waste materials to build shacks, setting up porridge sheds, providing some charcoal, and so on.

But after all, time was short, and there were many monks and few porridges, and most of the refugees were still not properly resettled, and they searched for shelter at night, which added a lot of pressure to law and order.

At the same time, it also brought great challenges to the work of Cai Maode, Sun Kangzhou and others, and the entire civil and official group of Taiyuan Prefecture was dispatched to divide labor and responsibilities, and implement it to individuals, so that if you want to go to the Yamen to find a certain adult at this time, you must rush to the air, because they are busy outside.

It is extremely rare for the entire government system to act like this, on the one hand, because some officials such as Cai Maode, Sun Kangzhou, etc. are in charge of sticking to their duties, on the other hand, they all know that the two big demons of Dongchang and Jinyiwei have come to Taiyuan, who dares to slack off, the entire Taiyuan city is Jinyiwei and Dongchang's fanzi, if you are caught pigtails, it will not be sent to the knife edge as a chicken to kill the monkey.

Out of the barracks, Chang Yu just walked a few steps west along the city wall, and suddenly thought of something and looked back at a temple in the east: "That's Bao'en Temple?" ”

"Back to the factory, it is Bao'en Temple" An accompanying brocade guard hurriedly replied.

Chang Yu nodded slightly, squinted at the temple for a while, and suddenly said: "Go and inform the monks in the temples in the city, let them open the temple door, set up porridge sheds, and stay with refugees.

"It's a factory"

The entourage of Jinyi Wei listened to the order, and then frowned: "Lord Changgong, it is okay for the temple to set up a porridge shed, but if they are allowed to open the temple to stay with the refugees, I am afraid that it will only disturb the purity of the Buddha gate......

Chang Yu sneered, which of these temples is not grand and luxurious, poor and extravagant, which Buddha statue does not wear gold and silver, and makes a golden body, and those bald donkeys in the temple do not produce and do not pay taxes, but if their interests are moved, they will talk nonsense, and the four are no longer empty

"When believers enter the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha, how can they not disturb his tranquility,...... Hmph, it's just a nest of moths, at this time the national disaster is at the head, how can we allow them to bargain under our noses, and you will pass the order, if those bald donkeys dare not say a word, they will all be caught."

"It's a factory, but it's ......"

"What's wrong again?" Chang Yu raised his eyebrows.

"Governor Cai is a devout believer, and he is also a layman of Bao'en Temple......"

And, Chang Yu rolled his eyes: "The biggest one in Taiyuan Mansion at this time is Lao Tzu"

The brocade guard stopped talking and ran away.

Chang Yu was still angry, and shouted a few more words before turning around and leaving.

"Big brother, I guess Governor Cai is going to talk to you when I turn around," Chunxiang said with a smile on the side.

Chang Yu snorted coldly, there are several temples in Taiyuan City, Bao'en Temple in the northeast, Wenshu Temple in the northwest, Dazhong Temple, Land Temple, Chongshan Temple in the southeast of the city, Chunyang Palace in the south of the city, Yuan Tongguan, Kaihua Temple in the southwest, Mida Temple, Big Bell Temple, etc., a total of more than ten houses, so many houses are idle, let those refugees stay on the streets overnight, just to offer those few yellow mud? It's really ridiculous, even if Cai Maode is a devout believer, he is still clear in the face of major rights and wrongs.

"Factory Supervisor"

Just when Chang Yu and his entourage hurriedly walked towards the refugee camp to the west, they were suddenly stopped, and then followed the prestige, but it was Yang Zhenwei and He Chengxin who were near the northwest gate.

The two of them each brought dozens of followers, obviously chatting by chance on patrol, but they didn't expect to meet Chang Yu again.

"Why are you two here?" After seeing the ceremony, Chang Yu was puzzled, he thought that the two of them should go south to the front line of Jiaocheng.

"One of the humble and He staff is in charge of the northwest gate, and the other is in charge of the northeast gate, patrolling the regional streets and city defenses during the day, staying in the city tower after dark, just met and chatted a few words, but I didn't think that I met the factory master so coincidentally, where are you going?"

"Take a walk:

Chang Yu responded: "Our family thinks you have all gone to the south to Jiaocheng."

"Hehe, Mr. Zhou ordered the generals, but he didn't point to us, maybe he thought we were guests from afar" He Chengxin said something.

Chang Yu nodded slightly, touching his chin thoughtfully.

"Two, I haven't heard of those who can make contributions by looking at the gate."

"Master Factory, I don't want to be lowly or not, but General Zhou is in charge of military affairs, and he can't help it if he doesn't transfer us, can you tell me about it?"

Yang Zhenwei was once hinted by Chang Yu that the position of the general army of Datong was vacant, this hint had sprouted in his heart, taken root, and grew gratifyingly.

Chang Yu didn't know why Zhou Yuji was idle for the two, maybe because he was a guest from afar, and he hadn't fully recovered after running thousands of miles, maybe he was reusing his descendants and didn't want to be shared.

"General Zhou is in charge of Taiyuan's military affairs, this is what our family let go before, and it is really difficult to backtrack and interfere with him at this time."

Chang Yu pondered slightly: "But our family can also help mediate when we turn around, after all, everyone has meat to eat, and everyone has merit, especially those brothers under him, what are they born and died for, loyalty to the Ming Dynasty to defend Taiyuan is one of them, everyone has to support their families, who doesn't want to make meritorious contributions, this one kills a thief, a reward of ten taels of silver, and a good opportunity for the first thief to be promoted to the next level should be fair competition, everyone has a share."

A reward of ten taels of silver for killing a thief, and the head of the thief will be promoted to one level!

Yang Zhenwei, He Chengxin and their subordinates immediately lit up their eyes, looked at each other, and then clasped their fists at Chang Yu: "Please also ask the factory supervisor to mediate, and I am willing to charge and kill the enemy in order to repay the emperor's kindness."

"All share, all share" Chang Yu smiled slightly, waved goodbye to the two.

There are many temporary settlements in the open space in the city, and the refugees are busy dividing the land and building shacks, and there are many people, children crying, adults scolding, quarrelling, and shouting abound.

A few officials and some officials were walking around, pointing and talking from time to time.

Chang Yu stood in the distance and watched for a while, and slowly walked towards the street, where many refugees were begging along the street, almost all of them were weak and young, and the strong and laborers were either digging moats or going to the West Mountain to cut wood, after all, it was still a high-paying job.

"The eldest young master will give me something to eat."

Chang Woo was soon surrounded by a group of begging children, but because he had an entourage, these children had fear on their faces.

"There are porridge sheds outside the city and inside the city, although you are not full, you are not hungry, why do you still need to eat" Chang Yu asked with a slight smile.

"I'm not hungry, but I can't eat enough, so why don't you give me some silver......," said a bold child.

Chang Yu smiled bitterly, it's good to have food these days, and if you want to be full, tens of thousands of refugees will pour in at once, and they will be full, or Taiyuan City will be empty in a few days.

In fact, these refugees who poured into Taiyuan City, because they were driven away in advance, had plenty of time, and most of them brought their belongings, including storing food at home, and large families even drove a few carriages into Taiyuan City to live directly in inns or go to relatives and friends.

Only the kind of peasants who lived outside the city were really destitute and penniless.

But there is free food, who wants to eat their own stored grain, who knows when the government will suddenly close the porridge shack.

"You can beg in the city, but you can't steal, otherwise you will be killed if you are caught, don't think that you won't be held accountable when you are young" Chang Yu did not give these children a penny, and left a cruel sentence, which frightened these children to turn blue.

After walking a few more streets, a few refugees came to him, Chang Yu raised his eyebrows, and then approached a teahouse on the side of the street and asked for a private room to sit down.

Soon, a refugee knocked on the door and walked in: "I have seen the factory father."

"Okay, let's talk about what you have discovered in the past two days" Looking at Zheng Xingguo in front of him, Chang Yu was still a little admired, what did the person who engaged in intelligence pretend to be.

"Back to the factory, the city has been relatively stable in the past two days, except for a few ruffians and hooligans, no thieves and spies have been found."

Zheng Xingguo said.

Chang Yu motioned for him to sit down, and then poured him a cup of tea, Zheng Xingguo hurriedly got up and didn't dare to say anything, and was stared at and sat down quickly.

"I haven't found any spies to explain two things, the first thief army is still in Fenzhou Mansion, we are in Jiaocheng and fortified those spies who can't come in, or too few of them, the second thief army has not yet come to the city, those lurking spies don't dare to act rashly or act in a particularly low-key way, and they are waiting for the arrival of the army," Chang Yu analyzed.

"The lowly office thinks so too"

Zheng Xingguo nodded: "I'm afraid I won't be able to sit still one by one in a few days."

"So, weave the nets first, and when they can't sit still, you will collect them all."

Chang Yu sneered: "Don't talk about Taiyuan City, at this time, even Jiaocheng has already issued an order, only allowed to come in and not allowed to go out, these spies are more or less self-defeating."

The two chatted a little more, and Zheng Xingguo suddenly said: "Factory father, I just saw Qin Xing come back, but I didn't greet him."

"Yes, he came back before noon" Chang Yu nodded slightly, but shouldn't this guy be sleeping, yes, he just took a hundred taels of silver and should not be able to sleep and go out to have a good time.

"He brought a young man with him to ......accompany Governor Cai, and Lord Cai seemed to be very fond of that young man," Zheng Xingguo continued.

Youngster? Chang Yu frowned, and suddenly remembered that he had asked Qin Xing to take Yu Chenglong to visit Cai Maode later and then attend the palace dinner together.

Now it seems that the two nouveau riche were so excited that they couldn't sleep, and they went out into the streets together, one wanting to spend money, and the other wanting to meet the governor quickly.

The so-called people gather in groups and things in kind, Zheng Xingguo said that Cai Maode and Yu Jackie Chan had a very happy conversation, which shows that two upright and capable people have sparks.

A tribute student climbed to the governor at once, is the starting point a little high, Chang Yu held his chin and couldn't help laughing, although the college entrance examination for Jackie Chan was bumpy in history, his career was smooth all the way, and he was promoted from a poor county magistrate with only five households to a first-class member.

It's just that at this time, because of his arrival, the starting point has become higher, but thinking about his starting point, he has become the powerful Dongchang factory governor after entering the palace for more than a month, although he also knows that this is just a desperate gamble on Chongzhen Mountain under various coincidences.

Immediately, Chang Yu asked the store to get a pen and paper and wrote a letter of recommendation for Yu Jackie Chan, but it was written to Zhu Cihong.

He knew that he was just a knife for Chongzhen, except for doing some shady black work for him, Chongzhen didn't have much interest in his others, and recommending a shepherd at random would not attract attention at all.

But the prince's recommendation is different, because the prince has a 'prophet's dream', and Chongzhen is extremely favored, and the person he recommends is very different with the pretext of 'dream'.

The letter of recommendation is written very shortly, in addition to the eclectic and other embellisheds such as reducing talents, there is also a sentence: "This person is an honest official through the ages, and a little polishing and good use can extend the century-old foundation of the Ming Dynasty."

Although the foundation of Daming may collapse at any time, Chang Yu still pretended to be a full score for Jackie Chan and was not proud of B, because he wanted to enable Yu Jackie Chan no matter what.

"You can keep this letter first, and Governor Cai will write a letter of recommendation to the emperor in the evening, and send it to the capital together when the time comes."

Chang Yu explained some matters to Zheng Xingguo again, and then left the teahouse.

Not long after the trip, a Jinyi guard came to report that Zhou Yuji had left the city to go to Jiaocheng.

This old boy didn't even wait for himself, Chang Yu smiled bitterly, I don't know if the matter was urgent, or if he deliberately left him.

Yes, I would be alive without him, Chang Yu snorted arrogantly, turned around and walked towards the barracks, just to deal with an important matter first.
