Chapter 136: It's Your Blessing to Meet Mr.!
Yang Xu thought to himself that he was now a director under the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Industry was in charge of road construction and other matters, so it should not be a problem to build a road.
If this cement road is repaired and the effect is good enough, then I will instigate the King of Qin and let the King of Qin write to Emperor Qinglong to see if all the official roads outside the imperial city can be replaced with cement roads.
Yang Xu knew that Zhao Guo had fought in the south and north a few years ago, and the treasury was empty, so he built a cement road by himself, and it was estimated that he would not get any money.
However, Yang Xu had his own ways to earn money back from other places, such as seeking some tax exemptions from Emperor Qinglong, such as obtaining the right to use the mountainous areas rich in mineral resources in the territory of Zhao State, and so on.
In short, in doing business, Yang Xu will not suffer.
Even if he suffers a small loss in front of him, he will earn back ten times and a hundred times from other places in the future.
This year's winter is much colder than usual, and after a few heavy snowfalls, I don't know how many people near the imperial capital have collapsed, lost their homes, and become homeless.
And these homeless people had nowhere to go, so they flocked to the imperial capital in droves.
Emperor Qinglong was a benevolent emperor, and after learning the news, he ordered the opening of porridge shacks outside the city to help the people, and on the other hand, sent officials to comfort the displaced people and prevent unrest.
As long as they survive this winter, those displaced people will be able to return to their homes and rebuild hope.
Yang Xu originally wanted to spend this winter in the Yang family manor, but he never thought that he would have his part in appeasing the homeless.
Afterwards, Yang Xu learned that this was an errand that King Qin had won for him.
In the words of King Qin, if this matter is done well, Yang Xu will be able to make meritorious contributions, thereby deepening his impression in the heart of Emperor Qinglong, which will be of great benefit to his future career.
Yang Xu smiled on his lips and MMP in his heart.
This kind of thing to appease the displaced people is easy to say, but it is by no means easy to do, if you accidentally say the wrong thing and make a mess, among the thousands of displaced people, you may even lose your life.
But the order had been issued, and Yang Xu couldn't disobey the order, so he had to accept the order in frustration.
Fortunately, Yang Xu was not the only official sent out to appease the displaced people this time, so Yang Xu decided to talk as little as possible at that time and never make a head.
In addition, each official can bring two entourages, considering the need to go deep into the homeless people when pacifying the homeless, for his own safety, Yang Xu decided to bring Yang Fugui and Yang Dazhi.
In the previous assassination outside the Yang family's manor, although Yang Fugui and Yang Dazhi were not lightly injured, they were also blessed by misfortune.
During the recuperation period between the two, Grandpa Tai used a special technique to push their muscles and blood for them, and boiled potions for them to soak, not only did their injuries recover quickly, but their strength actually improved slightly.
Don't underestimate these slight improvements, the two of them, who were martial artists between second-rate masters and first-class masters before, are closer to the realm of first-class masters after this promotion.
And in order to improve the self-protection ability of Yang Fugui and Yang Dazhi, as well as to protect Yang Xu in the future, Grandpa Tai also specially taught them a set of skills to join forces.
As long as the two practice skillfully and cooperate tacitly, they can compete with first-class masters.
In this way, they will follow Yang Xu in the future, as long as they don't encounter a strong person in the Grandmaster Realm, they will be able to advance and retreat without worry.
So with the two of them, Yang Xu felt much more at ease.
On this day, Yang Xu took Yang Fugui and Yang Dazhi to report to the Ministry of Industry, and then came to the outside of the city with several other officials from the Sixth Ministry.
Seeing the thousands of displaced people outside the city, Yang Xu's scalp was a little numb, and he whispered to Yang Fugui and Yang Dazhi: "Once the situation is not good, let's run away!" ”
Yang Fugui and Yang Dazhi's duty is to protect Yang Xu, and they nodded when they heard this.
The officials of the six ministries first went to some porridge shacks set up by the government to take a look, and then went deep into the homeless people to ask for warmth.
From beginning to end, Yang Xu walked at the end of several officials, maintaining a harmless smile on his face.
"Master Guan, the grass people's daughter has a high fever, and she will die if she continues like this...... Be merciful and save her. The grass people kowtow to you. ”
Yang Xu was walking, his left calf suddenly tightened, and he was hugged by a black and thin homeless person.
Yang Xu looked down and saw a thin woman of twenty-five or six years old sitting beside the homeless person, with tears in her eyes and an anxious expression, snuggled up to a boy of eight or nine years old, holding a girl of five or six years old in her arms.
The girl was wearing a tattered jacket, which had not been washed for an unknown amount of time, dirty, and smelly.
The girl looked sickly, with an abnormal flush on both cheeks, which was clearly a symptom of a high fever.
Perhaps awakened by the pleading voice of the black and thin homeless person, the girl, who was in a half-asleep state, barely opened her eyes and glanced at Yang Xu, and then closed them weakly.
The girl's pure and innocent eyes made Yang Xu's heart tighten.
He squatted down, ignoring the girl's face covered with dust, touched her forehead with his palm, and frowned, "It's very hot...... Fugui, take her to our manor and let the doctors in the manor take a look! ”
In order to prevent the epidemic from appearing among the displaced people and bringing them to the city, the city gate was heavily guarded, and the displaced people were not allowed to enter the city.
Moreover, the government only set up a porridge shed outside the city, but did not send a doctor to make an inspection, so the homeless people were sick, so they could only hold on, and if they died, they could only blame themselves for their bad lives.
In this era of lack of medical care and medical conditions, if this girl does not receive timely medical treatment, maybe a little life will be lost.
As Yang Xu, who has traveled from a civilized society to this place, where can he bear to watch the girl die?
The population of the Yang family manor is now increasing, and the land and population will expand in the future, so Yang Xu specially invited a few doctors with excellent medical skills to sit in the manor, so as not to go to the city to trouble again when he gets sick.
The black and thin homeless man, the thin woman, and the boy and girl, were apparently a family of four.
Hearing that Yang Xu promised to treat their daughter, the couple burst into tears with excitement and kowtowed.
Yang Fugui scratched his head and said, "No, sir, I'm leaving, what should you do?" ”
Yang Xu said: "I have great ambitions to follow me!" ”
Yang Fugui said: "Then let Dazhi go, he runs fast!" I'll stay! ”
Yang Dazhi shook his head and said, "No!" Your heart is not careful enough, I don't feel at ease if you leave me! ”
Yang Xu stomped on it and said, "It's important to save people, what are you fighting for?" Fugui, you take their family of four! ”
Yang Fugui saw that Yang Xu was angry, so he was honest, and beckoned to the black and thin family of four, and said, "It's your blessing to meet Mr.!" Come with me! ”
As soon as Yang Fugui's words fell, among the surrounding homeless people, many people knelt down, pleading one after another, and they were all sick.
