Chapter 145: Disaster Relief

When I came to a firewood room in the backyard, there were bits and pieces of fire, charcoal, and sulfur on the table, and I rubbed my hands excitedly.

The military training related matters of the college wrote a military training manual by themselves, and let the dog take it to Chenjiacun and print it, and each of the students had a copy in their hands, Pei Xuan and Luo Xiao followed the military training manual written by Chen Yi for several days, and they were in full swing in the academy in full swing step by step.

I finally made it, and after a few days of experiments, I finally poured out the gunpowder, and I don't know how powerful it is.

After eating at noon, the two of them rode to the mountains with gunpowder.

When they came to the depths of the mountains and forests that were sparsely populated, and came to a fairly flat place, the group dismounted, tied the horses behind trees, and walked forward about 300 meters.

Put the explosives in the dug mound, light the fuse, and hurriedly run to the distance to hide, the fuse is accompanied by a clattering sound, and in the blink of an eye it is about to burn out.

Covered his ears and waited for a while, found that the explosives did not explode, picked up the dry long branches on the ground, leaned forward a little bit, and when he was close to the explosives, he heard the place where the explosives were buried, and the sound of the explosions, the secret path was not good, he turned around and quickly threw away the branches in his hands, held his head in both hands, and slammed his body forward, and there was a boom behind him, only to feel that the surrounding ground was shaking, and the slag of the ground that was blown up went straight to the sky.

Dog Dan and Thirteen, who were hiding on the side, only felt that their ears were buzzing, shook their heads and shouted, "Childe." In a panic, he rushed in the direction of the explosion.

With a cough, Chen Yi staggered up from the ground, turned over and sat on the ground panting, and said secretly: Fortunately, I have a small amount of gunpowder, otherwise I am afraid that my little life will be explained here today.

"Childe, I didn't expect the explosives you invented to be so powerful, just like the earth dragon turned over, scaring the two of us." Thirteen patted his chest and said in surprise.

The two of them lifted Chen Yi up from the ground and came to the place where the explosives were buried, and the originally flat land had already been blown up, and there were large and small dirt pits everywhere, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

When the three of them returned, they found that the three horses that had been tied to the trees had long since disappeared, and the three had to walk back.

In the Taiji Hall of the Forbidden City, the atmosphere of the main hall is extremely weird.

Looking at the brothers standing in the main hall, as well as the prince beside him, he fell into deep thought.

Last night, I received a flood in the south of the Yangtze River, the Wei River burst its embankment, hundreds of thousands of victims, wandering and lost, these victims gathered together to make trouble, Dayuan is afraid that he is about to fall into a crisis.

"Princes, Aiqing Jiangnan flood, you have countermeasures." Yuan Jie sat on the dragon chair, kept coiling a string of Buddhist beads in his left hand, and said tiredly.

"Father, the sons and daughters think that the imperial court has issued an order that the imperial court should let the granaries around the south of the Yangtze River immediately open warehouses to release grain, relieve the victims, distribute disaster relief funds, and let the troops stationed nearby rush to repair the river."

Yuan Jie glanced at the prince and said, "Prince, your second brother Yufeng, what you said is reasonable, who do you think I should send?" ”

The crown prince took a step forward and replied, "Father, Erchen thinks that since the second brother came up with the method, Erchen thinks that the second brother is the most suitable. ”

"Of course, you are in charge of the household department, and you will draw five million taels from the household department for this disaster relief." Yuan Jie patted the dragon chair and said.

The third prince Yuan was stunned, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and replied tremblingly: "Father, father, there is not much silver left in the household. ”

"Bastard thing." After listening to the answer of the third prince, he stood up from the dragon chair, pulled the Buddha bead in his hand tightly, and said angrily.

"Someone, bring the accounts of the household department, I want to see my big country, and I can't even take out five hundred taels of disaster relief silver. There are so many national taxes collected every year, where do these silver taels go? ”

"Father's anger is at ease."

"The emperor is angry."

The princes and ministers standing in the main hall hurriedly knelt in the main hall and said.

Looking at the account book in his hand, the Taiyuan Zhang family, the Longxi Wang family, and the Longdong Sun family, the three major families borrowed a total of more than 10 million taels from the imperial court every year, plus the expenses of the court officials, the balance of the account book was only about three million taels, and he held his forehead with his hand and fell into contemplation.

"Yufeng, this disaster relief court allocated 1.5 million taels, and the rest of the silver, I'm afraid that after you go to Jiangnan, you will find a way to raise donations yourself, if you have any requirements, you can just ask." Yuan Jie looked at the ministers and princes kneeling on the ground, and looked uncertain.

"Father, the son wants the founder of the country, Bo Chenyi, to accompany the son." The second prince, Yufeng, knelt on the ground and said.

"Okay, I'm done."

"Spread my will, the second prince Yuanyu and the founding Bo Chenyi are the ministers of the Qin Mission, and they can go to Jiangnan for disaster relief."

After receiving the holy decree, the group arrived in Jiangnan without stopping.

The road was lined with ragged people, gathered in groups of three or five, their eyes scattered as if they had lost faith in life.

When they came to the place where the victims gathered, the victims sat in tents full of holes in twos and threes, looking at Chenyi and a few people indifferently, and saw that they were all gorgeously dressed, holding crutches in one hand and broken bowls in the other, and approached several people.

At the front was a gray-haired old man with his back arched upwards like a hill.

When he was about to get to his side, Chen Yi found that the old man was thin and haggard, with some deep wrinkles on his neck. In the slightly sunken eye sockets, a pair of dark brown eyes quietly tell the vicissitudes of time.

"Childe, have pity on us people, we haven't eaten for a day." The old man knelt on the ground and pleaded bitterly.

"Uncle, when I came over, I saw that there were relief food distribution points in these places, why didn't you eat?" The second prince, Yuan Yufeng, hurriedly helped the old man who was kneeling on the ground with his hands.

"Childe, do you know that those people in the government who have lost their conscience give us every day will not eat the relief food that they give us every day." Yuan Yufeng looked at the affected people around him, and said in his heart that he must deal with this group of dog officials.

"Uncle, uncle, take pity on you, just buy me, I can do anything." A little girl's shout came from ahead, and Chen Yi quickened his pace and hurried in the direction of the sound.

I saw a little girl kneeling on the ground, her hands tightly grasping the pants of a middle-aged man in front of her, her eyes full of stubbornness.

The little girl was beside a wooden sign with the words "Selling Yourself to Save Her Father", and behind her was a mud-stained and worn straw mat, on which lay a middle-aged man with his eyes closed.

"Stinky girl, let go quickly, don't bother me again, be careful that I buy you into the kiln." As he spoke, the man ruthlessly pushed the little girl aside with both hands.

On the other side of the street, a group of officials dressed neatly and anxiously waited on the road.

Before you know it, it's been three poles.

Li Jingzhi, the assassin of Jiangnan, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and said in his heart: I don't know when the two Qincha adults will arrive.

"Lord Li, according to the news from the subordinates of the lower officials, the two Lords of the Qincha went to the resettlement site of the victims." I saw an official running over in a hurry and hurriedly said.

"Quick, quick, quick, get up."

"Quick, quick..."

When the officials present heard this, they hurriedly rushed to the resettlement site in a sedan chair.
