"First of all, the pseudo-property of the Sun thief is not a heavy weapon of the imperial court at all, so it is not blasphemy and great disrespect, at this time when people's lives are at stake, Ben Shuai feels that as long as it is good for the resettlement of our hungry people, it can solve the practical difficulties of the victims, that is, Ben Shuai is willing to vacate the Xuanfu Embassy, not to mention that it is just a pseudo-palace."

"In order to resettle as many victims as possible, this time we must not only vacate the puppet palace of the Sun thief, but also use the real estate and fields of other officials who have been convicted of rebellion, so as to make the greatest use of it."

"This matter is so decided, General He immediately brought in to vacate the important items in these places and put them into the treasury."

"Saving people is like fighting fires, we can't delay for a moment, and we must arrange for the hungry people to move in as soon as possible so that they can settle down. It should be said that if we do this, the imperial court should be strongly supportive, even if the imperial court blames it, with me, the Xuanfu envoy, you don't need to worry. ”

As soon as this topic ended, Lin Yi stood up and said: "Dashuai, the grain allocation you ordered has been put in place, but there are less than 2,000 stone of grain left in the entire Ningzhou, and half of the original three-month consumption has now been gone." ”

"Although I have sent three batches of procurement personnel, it is far from quenching my thirst. Now the number of victims who have arrived in Ningzhou has reached 10,000, and many more will arrive one after another in the next few days, and the money and grain will not be few, even if they deliver the grain back as quickly as possible, it will probably take more than ten days. ”

"I wonder if we should immediately put up a notice to mobilize the rich households in Ningzhou, and let them donate some money and grain, which will not only make them break their muscles and bones, but also make up for the current food shortage, what do you think?"

Li Yi hesitated slightly, but nodded. In fact, although I had this intention for a long time, I just felt that I still didn't understand the secular folk customs here, and I was worried that doing so would backfire and provoke a civil uprising, so I didn't open my mouth.

Lin Yi mentioned it at this time, which made him resolutely make up his mind.

The Chinese nation has always had a fine tradition of helping the needy, and Yunnan is a relatively stable place, and it is believed that the money and grain in the hands of businessmen are also indispensable.

Li Yi doesn't believe that these rich people don't even have this basic standard of life, and many of them were imprisoned by the government last time because of flattery and rebellion, and this account has not yet been settled with them!

If they push back and are unkind to the rich, they will not have the slightest hesitation, they will shoot when they should shoot, and they must be slaughtered fiercely.

After making up his mind, Li Yi immediately said categorically: "In this eventful autumn, in the face of this natural and man-made disaster, and so many victims who are counting on us to help, I think the people of Ningzhou will not stand idly by. ”

"There are not a few rich households in Ningzhou, and they are also a member of this land, and they should show something in order to get out of the predicament in Yunnan as soon as possible and make a difference."

"Lord Lin, after you write this notice, arrange for people to post it everywhere, and be sure to let the people of the whole city know that as long as they can give their love, we will not care if they give more or less."

"Also, you have to write the declaration to the imperial court as soon as possible, send it out as soon as possible, and let the imperial court solve the practical difficulties for us as soon as possible."

"In addition, the matter of purchasing medicinal materials cannot be delayed for a moment, you immediately send out people and go to various places to procure. You don't have to worry about money, just advance it from the thief's stolen money. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, in order to do a better job in this matter and let the officials play an exemplary role, I have decided to vigorously carry out donation activities in the Yunnan government, and I hope that all my colleagues will support you."

"Although we are ready to mobilize the wealthy to donate, we are also the parents of the people of Yunnan, so we can't sit idly by, and we have to do our part to some extent."

"I decided to start with me, everyone should have something to say, whether it is to donate a part of the money, food, cloth, there is no requirement or limit on the amount, you can do as much as you want."

"As long as there are high-ranking official officials in Yunnan, they have to pledge, and others will no longer ask for it, but if they want to donate, we will not object."

"My salary is much higher than all of you, so this time I am ready to take the lead in donating three hundred taels of silver, others should not compare with me, we must do what we can and do what we can, so as not to affect the lives of my family."

"It's going to be done in two days. Okay, it's not too early, so let's get ready to go according to the division of labor! ”

After announcing the decision, everyone dispersed, and the sky darkened.

Li Yi was about to get up and go back to the inner house, when a personal soldier hurriedly walked in front of him and reported in a deep voice: "Dashuai, the shopkeeper Liang of 'Jicuixuan' wants to meet Dashuai, but just now because you were in a meeting, you didn't report it immediately, and he was still waiting in the gatehouse at this time, do you want to send him in." ”

When Li Yi heard this, his heart couldn't help but move, Liang Shutong came to see me at this time, he must have come for the disaster victims in southern Sichuan, this old gentleman is something he respects, and he has always wanted to take time to visit him, but he has been unable to do so.

Unexpectedly, he came to the door in person, if there was no important matter, how could he come to ask for a meeting so late. And it's a bit of a shame to keep people waiting for so long.

Li Yi hurriedly ordered to meet quickly.

After turning his head and instructing Lin Yi a few words, he didn't have time to wait for Liang Shutong to come in, so he hurriedly followed the pro-soldier to the outside of the conference hall, and as soon as he came to the courtyard, he saw that Liang Shutong was already coming.

Li Yi hurriedly took a few steps, rushed to his face, and happily bowed his hand and said: "Li Yi greeted him late, and he didn't intend to snub Mr. Liang, and asked the old man to forgive him a lot!" ”

When Uncle Liang saw Li Yi coming to greet him, he hurriedly bowed down and said happily, "Hey! Lord Li is in charge of government affairs, worried about the people, now it is an eventful autumn, how can there be a moment of leisure, the old man is not shallow, he took the liberty to visit, he should ask the adults to forgive their sins! ”

"Hey! Mr. Liang said this, Mr. Liang is a person of Yunnan Shuowang, a senior sage, Li Yi has always respected the old man's character, and has long intended to ask you for advice. Come, come, come! Please come to the lobby and serve tea. ”

Li Yi let Liang Shutong into the hall attentively, sat down the guest and host, and before he could say his greetings, Liang Shutong rushed to say: "Lord Li is young, but he is broad-minded, not afraid of people's words, not afraid of difficulties, he can have such a responsibility, leading tens of thousands of hungry people into Yunnan, and he is very open-minded. ”

"Dashuai Shen thinks of the common people in the world, which is really admirable. Please be bowed by the old man. ”

As he spoke, he actually stood up and gave Li Yi a deep salute.

Li Yi hurriedly stood up, grabbed Liang Shutong's arm, and led him to his seat before he said apologetically: "The old gentleman praises falsely, Li Yi doesn't dare to accept it." ”

"Yunnan is in a time of crisis, the people's livelihood is scarce and overwhelmed, and the lower officials can't sleep all night, how dare they slack off. And the hungry people in southern Sichuan are all my Chinese compatriots, how can they abandon them at this time of distress, they are just doing their duty, what is there to admire? The old gentleman is serious! ”
