Chapter 88: Passing Old Acquaintances

"Got it clear?" Yang Ah saw Wang Jingyan coming back and asked with concern.

"It's two young talents, and one of them is your relative!"

"Relatives! Who is it? ”

"Dongping Wang Mang."

"Wang Mang?" Yang Ah frowned.

"He's the queen mother's nephew, isn't he related to you?" Wang Jingyan smiled, it seems that Yang Ah has too many "relatives", she doesn't remember this cousin.

"Which of the sons of the Marquis of Guan Nei is he?" Yang Ah really hadn't heard of it.

"His father is Wang Man, who has passed away, so he shouldn't have been able to be crowned a marquis." Wang Jingyan recalled Wang Mang's "resume".

"Oh! I remember. The Queen Mother seems to have mentioned once that Dongping has an uncle. "Yang Ah really can't remember so many of his "cousins".

"Well, it looks like my cousin is not bad, unlike his older brothers and sisters."

"Well, it looks like a steady person. Moreover, he seems to have a leg injury, and it is indeed not easy to help the victims regardless of the pain. Wang Jingyan echoed a few words.

What Yang A said is consistent with historical records, Wang Zhengjun became the queen mother, and the first thing he did was to seal his brother and brother. Not only did Wang Feng become a great Sima and a general, but her five younger brothers were crowned marquis on the same day, and there was a rare phenomenon of "five candidates in one day" in history.

And these children of the Hou Ye are arrogant and lascivious, fighting cocks and lackeys all day long, and they are not doing their jobs. On the contrary, Wang Mang, who failed to "take advantage", was humble and polite, and was quite famous in the township and in the township.

............

Henan Taishou Bi Zhong lined up outside the city gate to greet Qin Cha with apprehension.

Princess Yang'a, he had heard of it, it was said that she was notoriously "rude", and he didn't know if she would make things difficult for herself.

Chun Yuchang, he also inquired, but he is a "looper" person. He had already made a good deal of contact with the new magnate. This time, as long as the "knot" is good, there should not be much of a problem.

After this period of time, Luoyang City has basically restored order. The damned are dead, the fleeing are all fled, and the rest of the city is pacified.

Although many people starved to death and died of disease, no one can do anything about natural disasters, and it is a big deal to say that those who starve to death are stoned to death.

At the gate of the city, Chun Yuchang read out the edict of Emperor Cheng for disaster relief, and did not stay long, and entered the city directly.

Wang Jingyan is very concerned about the disaster, and from time to time she observes the situation outside through the car window.

Although the ruins have been cleared, she can still imagine the tragic situation of the earthquake.

"That carriage is beautiful!" A crisp and gentle female voice came into her ears and caught her attention.

On a simple carriage on the side of the road, a lot of young children were crowded, and a handsome young woman seemed to be lying on her husband's back, looking enviously at the carriage in which she and Yang A were riding.

Although the young woman is beautiful, it is her husband who makes Wang Jingyan's heart move! Look at the figure, it looks like Brother Xiaofan!

Could it be him? Wang Jingyan turned her head to watch carefully, but the carriage bumped into the city, and she didn't see it clearly!

"What's wrong?" Yang A saw Wang Jingyan's strange performance.

"It's okay, it looks like an old acquaintance." Wang Jingyan was not sure, and replied vaguely.

When he came to the Taishou Mansion, he greeted the Qincha.

"Master Bi, how heavy is this disaster?" Yang Ah asked "routinely".

"Returning to Lord Qincha, the disaster this time is too serious, nearly 100,000 people were killed and injured, and the losses are countless." Bi Zhong reported cautiously and secretly glanced at Yang Ah and Chun Yuchang.

"One hundred thousand! How could there be so many! Yang Ah was taken aback by Bi Zhong's numbers.

"Back to Lord Chincha, the earthquake was so strong that almost all the houses in the city collapsed, and the disaster happened in the middle of the night, and many people were unable to escape."

"I don't think you've suffered any losses from this Taishou Mansion!" Yang A actually saw it a long time ago, and there were indeed many collapsed houses on the way into the city, but the Taishou Mansion was almost intact.

"Thanks to the blessing of the emperor and Lord Qincha, this Taishou Mansion was newly repaired last year and is slightly stronger, so the loss is not big." Bi Zhong wanted to sweat a little. In order to repair this Taishou Mansion, he did not scavenge the people's fat and ointment.

Yang Ah is still inexperienced, has not experienced this situation, and does not know how to ask.

Wang Jingyan whispered a few words in her ear.

"Master Bi, let me ask you, how many houses collapsed in the city in this earthquake, how many people were killed, how many people were injured, how many people starved to death, how many people were relocated, and how many people are still in the city?"

Yang Ah asked sternly, but secretly admired Wang Jingyan beside her, what did this girl do, how could she think so clearly!

"This ......" Bi Zhong was asked, thought for a long time, and replied carefully, "There are 100,000 dead and wounded, and some of the victims have indeed fled to refuge, but none have starved to death." ”

"Didn't starve? Since you didn't starve to death, you still have food, so why bother the court to raise money and food. Yang Ah seized the loophole in Bi Zhong's words and began to be rude.

"Although I have not starved to death, the food in the city has run out, and if there is no relief food from the imperial court, I am afraid that people will really starve to death." Bi Zhong began to quibble.

"And how many victims do you have now? How are you going to distribute this relief food? Yang Ah actually didn't want to meddle in "nosy", she didn't delve into it anymore, she just wanted to send the food down quickly.

"After the catastrophe, there was a shortage of food and medicine in the city, so I borrowed a lot from grain merchants, medicine merchants and some good people, and many people also donated free of charge, and I had to return the relief money and grain to them."

Bi Zhong said his plan, this time he did not receive less benefits from these people, and distributed food to them in the name of disaster relief, did they really dare to swallow it alone?

"To whom?" Yang Ah was a little confused when he heard it, but now it was clear, he made a fuss for a long time, and the food and medicinal materials he brought were not for the victims, but for those grain merchants and medicine merchants!

"Give it back to ......" Bi Zhong noticed that Princess Yang's tone seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and he looked up at Chun Yuchang hesitantly.

"Master Bi is reckless! These money and grain are for the people of the court, how can they be given to those merchants? Besides, how many people still can't eat enough, can't Master Bi see it? Even if you have to repay the food in an emergency, it is not at this time. We must not let some people have food at home while the victims go hungry! Chun Yuchang interrupted Bi Zhong.

"This ......," Bi Zhong hesitated.

"What this, this! The key now is to feed the people and rebuild their homes as soon as possible. As for the merchants who donate food, are they short of food? Moreover, they have lived in Luoyang for a long time, eaten Luoyang rice, drank Luoyang water, and made some contributions to the people of Luoyang in this great disaster, shouldn't they? Chun Yu put on a long shelf, righteous words.

"I believe that most of the merchants still have good intentions, and on the way here, we saw people opening porridge sheds. These people asked Lord Bi to carefully screen and report the list to Lord Qincha, report to the imperial court, and apply for a commendation. Chun Yuchang finally "comforted" Bi Zhong.

"Yes, yes, yes! What Lord Chun said is extremely true. These good people must be reported to the court for heavy rewards, and I will never tolerate those who are rich and unkind! Yang Ah felt that Chun Yuchang's words were to the point, and he quickly expressed his position.
