Zhao Junsheng walked for a while, talked with a number of disaster victims, and learned a lot about the situation, in this disaster camp, the main reason why so many disaster victims are stranded is that the government is inactive, and does not actively deal with the aftermath of the disaster.

After Zhao Junsheng finished talking to a young victim again, he beckoned to Wang Tanzhi, who stepped forward and clenched his fists: "What does Your Majesty command!" ”

Zhao Junsheng stopped and waved his hand to the generals and officials behind him.

Seeing this, the colonels and officials retreated into the distance.

Zhao Junsheng asked: "I ask you, is there any surplus grain in Xingyang at present?" ”

Wang Tanzhi replied: "Naturally, there is grain, in fact, the grain in Aocang is not moldy and rotten at all, but someone is guarding and stealing and is worried about being found out, so he lied that it was due to poor management that caused the mold and rotten, and it could not be covered up when he wanted to open a warehouse to release grain for disaster relief after the disaster, so he launched one or two substitute ghosts, cut off their heads to make the people angry, and used this method to perfectly embezzle more than seventy percent of Aocang's grain stock!" ”

A cold light flashed in Zhao Junsheng's eyes, "Who is it?" ”

Wang Tanzhi hesitated, "······ Who is the biggest mastermind in the court, the minister doesn't know, but in this Xingyang County······ Your Majesty has seen that roster, and the highest official is naturally too shou Cui Yanze! ”

Zhao Junsheng's hands clenched into fists involuntarily, "You mean to say that this group of people is not only greedy for the money for the river treatment project, but also ······?"

"Yes, as long as the money passes through their hands, even if a mosquito flies over, they can blow up two taels of meat, hundreds of thousands of stone grain are hoarded in Aocang, how can they let it go?"

Zhao Junsheng said coldly: "I don't care so much, I just want to know where such a large batch of grain is now?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, in the hands of the grain merchants! The grain merchants in Xingyang County are all backed by officials, and Cui Yanze is the biggest backstage! ”

"Is this a collusion between officials and businessmen, or are businessmen just tools for officials to accumulate money?" Zhao Junsheng tried his best to control his emotions.

Wang Tanzhi said indifferently: "Collusion between officials and businessmen? Merchants don't have the qualifications yet! ”

Zhao Junsheng glanced at Wang Tan and beckoned to Bai Jinguang, the general of the Shenwu Army, who was standing in the distance.

Bai Jinguang quickly stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "What does Your Majesty command?" ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "Now in the whole Xingyang, only those grain merchants have grain in their hands, I order you to send troops to collect the grain in their warehouses, but not all of it, leave some for them to continue to sell, in order to maintain the needs of the residents in the city!" However, the selling price must be based on the price before the disaster, and whoever dares to raise the price of grain without authorization and make a fortune in the country will be arrested! Those who have already hoarded grain and made a lot of money by raising grain prices have also arrested the principal, but the grain store has to continue to open its doors for business! ”

Bai Jinguang was about to agree, but suddenly thought that this should be what the local government should do, if the army intervened, wouldn't the ministers of the court make a fuss? But he thought about it again, the army is the army, the government is the government, and the army only obeys the emperor's will, if the army questions the emperor's orders, this is not a good thing, and he, the general of the Shenwu Army, will do it to the end.

He immediately clasped his fists and saluted: "The minister obeys the order!" ”

Bai Jinguang turned around and left quickly, dispatching soldiers and horses, and small groups of cavalry left quickly in turn, hundreds of thousands of victims didn't know what happened when they saw this scene, and the Xingyang officials led by Cui Yanze were also very puzzled what these soldiers and horses were sent out for?

Zhao Junsheng's gaze swept over the faces of the local officials one by one, and suddenly, a familiar face appeared in his sight, it was the crown prince Zhao Dong, he is now the county magistrate of Mi County, Xingyang County, and also appeared among the officials who welcomed him this time, before Zhao Junsheng was so focused on the victims that he did not notice him.

Zhao Junsheng groaned and shouted, "Cui Yanze! ”

Cui Yanze quickly stepped forward and saluted: "The minister is here!" ”

Zhao Junsheng looked at him, and his tone was full of murder: "It's been more than three months since the flood disaster, and the disaster relief in Xingyang County is still no improvement, and the only thing that is satisfactory is that the spread of the plague has been controlled, but I'm afraid it's not the credit of your Xingyang County government, but because the weather is getting colder, is that what you deserve as a Taishou?" Come on, take it! ”

A few soldiers next to him immediately pounced and controlled Cui Yanze.

Cui Yanze shouted that he was wronged: "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, since the disaster occurred, the ministers and others have been running around to mobilize herbal medicines, recruit medical officers to control the epidemic, and urgently requisition food to help the victims, in the past few months, the minister has only slept for two hours a day, even if there is no merit, there is hard work, please Your Majesty be clear!" ”

Many Xingyang officials have made a move: "Cui Taishou is a good official, please Your Majesty to investigate!" ”

Zhao Junsheng said with a cold face: "Whether he is a good official or not, I don't know, if you say it, it doesn't count, only if the people say it!" ”

After speaking, he looked at the surrounding victims and asked: "Fathers and elders, is Cui Yanze a good official, I have left this decision to you, in the process of disaster relief and relief, has he fulfilled his due responsibility?" You tell me that this will determine his fate and future! ”

Cui Yanze swept the surrounding victims with a fierce gaze, and the victims were swept away by his gaze, and immediately lowered their heads.

Zhao Junsheng was very surprised to see the reactions of the victims around him, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Cui Yanze, and immediately became furious, "Someone comes, take off his official robe and official robe, temporarily remove his official position and identity, take back the official seal, and demote him to a commoner!" ”

Now Cui Yanze is just an ordinary person, and his identity is the same as that of these disaster victims.

Finally, someone was no longer afraid of him, and a young man mustered up the courage to raise his hand and said loudly: "Your Majesty, except for a few of these officials, most of them are coming here for the first time. They gave us a gruel made of moldy grain every day, and the gruel was so clear that you could see the bottom of the bowl!

Cui Yanze didn't care about our life or death at all, only Yang Juncheng and Mi County Zhao County Commander learned that we were eating gruel cooked with moldy grain, so they organized some wealthy officials and people to donate a batch of food, so that we could live until now!

After the plague broke out, Cui Yanze didn't send medical officers to come at all, nor did he send officials to send herbs, those medical officers who treated us were all invited by Yang Juncheng and Zhao Xianling, and some of the herbs used for treatment were bought by themselves with all their wealth, and the other part was donated by pharmacies and medicinal herb merchants! ”

Someone raised his hand again: "Your Majesty, the grass people can testify, what he said is true!" ”

"The grass people can also testify!"

"Me too!"

One after another, people raised their hands, and then one after another, and soon everyone raised their hands, and more than 100,000 people raised their hands, and a large area of black pressure was almost impossible to see.

At this time, someone said to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, the grass people reported that the county lieutenant Hui Chengdong, the Jingxian Ling Huang Ji, and the Chenggao County Commander Liu Sangui are all Cui Yanze's accomplices, and they also have many cronies to help them ride on the heads of the grass people and others to make a fortune!" They have done all the evil deeds and done their good deeds, please Your Majesty uphold justice for the grass people and others, and return a clear and clear sky above the grass people's heads! ”

Zhao Junsheng stared at the officials who were named and reported by the victims with a gloomy face, "What else do you have to say?" ”

The officials' faces changed in fright, and they bowed down and quibbled: "Your Majesty, the ministers are wronged, these Diao people are framing the ministers, Your Majesty must not listen to the nonsense of these untouchables!" ”

"Enough!" Zhao Junsheng shouted violently, so frightened that these kneeling officials did not dare to speak again, he pointed at them and asked: "If you are all good officials who love the people like sons, fulfill their duties, and are loyal and upright, why do the people frame you and others?" Do you think I'm really blind and ignorant of what you're doing? Even if you run this place like an iron bucket, there is no leaky wall in the world, and what you do can't stand up to scrutiny! Come on, take down all these officials who have just been reported, temporarily remove them from their official positions, put them in prison pending trial, and put them under special guard, and no one is allowed to visit them before the trial! ”

The crowd of officials is like this, and one after another people have been arrested one after another, and the remaining officials are glad in their hearts, fortunately they have adhered to the bottom line and kept the discipline, otherwise they are afraid that they have become one of the people who were arrested just now.

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Some of the victims shouted.

"Your Majesty is aware of everything!" Someone shouted again.

As a result, a large number of people around shouted in unison: "Your Majesty Shengming! After shouting, he fell to his knees.

Immediately afterwards, one by one, the victims fell to their knees and shouted: "Your Majesty! ”

The rest of the officials were already on their knees.

After the shouting, Zhao Junsheng raised his hand: "It's all flat!" ”

Officials and citizens stood up one after another.

Zhao Junsheng stepped on the mud and walked to a high place to face the victims and shouted loudly: "Fathers and elders, now that the weather is getting colder, most of you have not brought winter clothes, and you will not be able to survive the winter if you continue to stay here, and you will freeze to death if you are not starved to death, and the imperial court will not be able to mobilize enough winter clothes in a short period of time, but the imperial court has ordered the local governments to do their best to provide disaster relief on their own, including opening the official warehouse, the military granary, and collecting clothes and fabrics from private merchants in the name of the government and distributing them to the victims for free, and all expenses will be borne by the imperial court." When the disaster situation is stable and the victims have survived the famine, the imperial court will settle accounts with the private businessmen!

In addition, the imperial court has also ordered the dispatch of garrisons from all over the country to assist the victims in rebuilding their homes and building houses, and as long as you return to your hometown, you can rebuild the houses with the help of the government and the garrison generals, and all the materials needed to build the houses are provided by the local government!

In addition, every family affected by the disaster can receive enough food from the government to survive the winter, if you can work diligently and earn some food during your leisure time, you will have enough food to tide over the green season next year! ”

After Zhao Junsheng's words fell, someone in the crowd raised his hand: "We want to go home, but we don't have food, what do we eat and drink on the way?" I'm afraid I'll starve to death before I get home! ”

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "There will be food, I am here to assure you, within three or five days at most, everyone can receive half a month's food, which is enough for you to return home, and when you return home, you can find the local government to continue to receive food and clothing for the winter!" But there is one point, the fact that they cannot continue to stay here after receiving food is a huge burden on the government, and everyone must return to their hometowns! ”

The victims were stunned, and some came back to their senses and shouted excitedly: "Long live Your Majesty!" ”

Everyone fell to their knees again and shouted in unison: "Hurray!" ”
