Chapter 164: Boiling
The next day, the conflict of "Yingchun Building" spread in Suining City, whether it was a teahouse or a wine shop, or a street or alley, the people were talking about it, the entertainment of this era was too scarce, especially in a small place, there was nothing new all year round. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's rare to have a new and exciting thing, and in a few months, I'm afraid the heat can't be stopped.
Moreover, under word of mouth, the conflict of the incident also spread quickly to the outside world, to the surrounding Pizhou, Suqian, Lingbi and other places.
It's hard to know what will turn out in the end.
Generally speaking, public opinion in Suining City is still on the side of Yang He, after all, he is the "first victim", the first time he took office, the gentry, businessmen, and officials inside and outside the county gathered, but at the banquet, he was openly slapped in the face.
What is that called Huang Cheng's Pizhou epiphyte, relying on the fact that he is the son of a high-ranking official of the fifth grade, under the pretext of giving gifts, openly humiliated in public, just because Lord Yang did not hold a fan at that time?
To be honest, many people in Suining City don't understand the style of these scholars, isn't it normal for Lord Yang to carry a knife as the head of Lian? And the world is not peaceful, and it is even more natural to carry a weapon with you, so it is a big sin and will be ridiculed?
All the people felt that this surnamed Huang was really a gentleman, who had nothing to do, and relied on the fact that he was the son of a high-ranking official, so he was arrogant and unscrupulous.
Look, the officials of Zhengjipin dare to humiliate in public, or on the occasion of the feast, if the little people are against them, what should they do?
Inevitably, many people have a kind of hatred and hatred.
Of course, Lord Yang was angry and fought back, which was a little too aggressive, but it was also understandable.
After all, an official must have prestige, and if he is slapped in the face and does not fight back, how will he be an official in the future?
Although Huang Chengji was beaten miserably on the spot, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, his head was broken and bleeding, and he was helped back afterwards, and he may not even be recognized by his parents, but all the people did not sympathize, and it was a "strong" evaluation to Lord Yanghe.
thinks that he is not disgraced, loves and hates clearly, and is really a person with character.
Such a person lives in Mr. Lian, and the more urgent the matter is, the more confident everyone has.
The gentry and businessmen did not have a good opinion of this matter, although they talked about it in private, but it was difficult to say anything on the surface, and any of their claims would inevitably offend one of them, and any of them could not afford to offend, so they simply kept silent.
It's just that before practicing the general mansion afterwards, the more people gave gifts, Yang He's gift money income tripled.
Several officials in Suining, Master Zheng sighed, thinking that harmony should be precious, and this matter had better end here.
The history of the county is silent, and the teachings and instructions are private, thinking that both sides are impulsive, but Yang Lian, as an official, is suspected of losing his temperament and insulting Sven, that is, Huang Shengyuan is disrespectful, and it is okay to reprimand, how can he move his hands and feet and punish in public?
You must know that Huang Chengji is a student, a person with meritorious reputation, and the punishment of slapping his mouth cannot be added to the head of a student.
Inspector Deng openly spoke out for President Yang Lian, saying that the situation at that time was not considered a punishment, and at most the two sides were fighting, and they were just a little out of decency.
However, Huang Cheng's sin is even greater, and Lord Yang is forgivable.
Gao Qifeng, the magistrate of the county, has a headache, these two guys, one has no official appearance and physique, and the other does not look like a talented scholar!
But he had to stand on Yang He's side, Yang He was promoted by him, and he belonged to his faction, but this person was unruly, which made him dislike, but the more urgent the matter was, the more urgent the matter was, and this person was needed in Suining, so he had to have a headache and prepare to wipe his ass for him.
Everyone is very concerned about the follow-up developments, Huang Chengji was beaten, he is not an ordinary student, his father is Huang Sien Huang, the Tongzhi of Pisu River Affairs in Huai'an Prefecture, a dignified and high-ranking official, his son was beaten, how can he give up?
What will happen next, everyone is very interested.
In addition to this conflict, there are some other things, and all kinds of gossip are inevitably spreading.
For example, the sentence that caused Lord Yang's thunderous anger "eyebrows with a married woman" was the root of the conflict in the "Spring Festival Building" that night.
Who is this "married woman", and who does Lord Yang have any affairs with, no matter what people secretly mention.
Then it was pulled to Wang Qiong'e's head, and then to Han Lan, the then Pizhou Wei commander.
The profound connotation of this makes everyone talk about it.
Of course, this matter belongs to chasing after the wind and catching shadows, gossiping and gossiping, which is related to the reputation of Lord Yang, and also related to the famous families of Huai'an Mansion City, or the famous families of the two families, everyone dare not say it publicly, but private rumors are inevitable.
and the "Han Final Army" at the banquet that night, which also spread out quickly, and the listeners were full of pride in their chests, and their blood surged from their chests.
By word of mouth, the word spread quickly.
In Suining City, when Zheng Wenxuan and other students took the lead in wearing swords, so in Suining City, there were more people who fought swords.
Yang He didn't care about all this, he also knew that after Huang Chengzhen was beaten, he cried and went back to Pizhou to find his parents the next day.
He didn't take it to heart, all the soldiers came to block it, and the water came to cover it.
His main focus now is on the displaced people outside Suining.
After the banquet, he was going to go back to Xin'anzhuang on the north shore to step up the training of soldiers and build weapons, and then these homeless people would also be brought back.
……
On the twenty-second day of the first month, outside the polder wall of the north gate.
It was drizzling and the sky was cold.
The displaced refugees here have gathered more, the weather is cold, the environment is bad, there is little food and clothing, and the hungry people gathered here are more and more dying, their faces are yellow, and if they are women and children and orphans, the situation will be even more dangerous.
The hungry people are numb and waiting for death, or some people are flashing with unwilling fierce light, often at this time, there will be people who rise up and take risks.
But at this time, there is hope for the hungry people of more than 1,000 people outside the north gate, more than a dozen cauldrons are set up next to the Erlang Temple, and the hot rice porridge is boiling in the grass shed, and the hungry people are densely packed around, with hope in their eyes, and then there are many officials patrolling around.
Someone else shouted: "Don't squeeze, everyone queues up to receive food, a team with a family, a team without a family, a team for widows and loneliness, and a team for orphans and young girls." All of you can live, Lord Yang is merciful, and will send you to the north shore to work for relief, and all of you will have food, clothing, and housing......"
The drizzle rustled, hitting Yang He's big hat and oil coat, the cold air spread, and the surrounding area became more and more muddy.
But Yang He just stood, looking at everything in front of him lightly, Chen Qiuao and the four of them stood behind him, all dressed in felt clothes, and they also pressed their knives motionless in the cold rain.
The hungry people around looked at each other with awe and gratitude.
The hungry people outside the city Yang He will be taken away in four batches, the first group will take orphans and young girls first, the second group will bring the old women and elderly who have lost their families, the old and helpless, the third group will bring the hungry people with complete families, and finally take the single young and strong men.
Before the hungry people were taken away, Yang He ordered porridge to be given outside the city, and more than a dozen cauldrons were set up, so that each hungry person could eat a few meals to his heart's content, so as to prove that he was not empty words, and also to add an appropriate amount of physical strength and confidence to the hungry people outside the city.
The grain and rice for the soup porridge were allocated from the treasury, this time the county Cheng Liu Zunhe and others did not say anything, Yang He brought this hidden danger away, if the county did not even have the money and rice for the trip, then it would not be reasonable.
Gongsheng Zhou Mingyuan mobilized the gentry and merchants in the city to donate grain and rice, donate winter clothes, this time the gentry are very enthusiastic, you have to donate some food, he donated some silver, that is, ordinary people, but also have money to contribute, strong contribution.
There is no filial son in front of the bed of a long illness, and the hungry people outside the city are supported all the year round, and the people of Suining have no choice, but they still have this generous heart and kindness when they pay some at one time.
Moreover, the faster the displaced people outside the city walk, the sooner the hidden dangers of the city will be removed, and the security in the surrounding areas will be better.
Therefore, from the 21st day, there was an endless stream of people who donated winter clothes and bedding, food and materials, and Yang He ordered that all the money, food, and clothing should be registered, and who the donors were, all of them belonged to the "righteous people", and they should not even have a name.
Gao Qifeng, the magistrate of the county, sent a servant to maintain, and the scribe helped, and the remains of the shacks were collected, and Yang He asked the bureau to collect the ruins of the shacks.
This person has been giving him a headache, after going back the night before, Menzi and Soap Li talked about the banquet with their eyebrows, and they all exhaled to relieve their breath, and the chef and groom who stayed in the office Soap Li also listened to it very much, only Lian Fangzheng nagged more than that.
The official is not like an official, and the student is not like a student, it is really not ancient, and the world is declining, and he is another exhortation to Yang He, which made him speechless for a long time.
However, this person has the ability and strong principle, so it is best to let him take charge.
In addition to Wang Jiaqing going to Pizhou with Huang Chengxi, the students of the county school hall also basically came to help, and Yanghe's plan was to set up a rest point for each shop, and cook ginger soup for each lay, so that the hungry people who were in a hurry could drink some soup to warm their bodies.
Then set up a point in Xin'anpu, and in the future, the hungry people from Xuzhou Guandao will not go to Suining City, and will be directly led to the south bank wharf, and the boat of the inspection department will carry them across the Yellow River.
Yang He also greeted Deng Guan, the ambassador of the delivery station, and asked the ships of the delivery station to come over to help as well.
A point will be set up outside the south gate, and the hungry people who come from the Lingbi official road will be taken in and registered, and then transported across the Yellow River.
In this way, Yang He quickly solved the problem of the displaced people that caused headaches for the officials in the city, and made Gao Qifeng, the magistrate of the county, complicated in his heart, but the hidden danger of the displaced people was removed, which is a good thing.
The medical officer of the Department of Medicine suggested that Yang He should provide relief in batches and levels if the hungry people have been hungry for a long time, such as those who have fallen to the ground with rice soup, and then continue with thin porridge, and then apply thick porridge.
The rest of the hungry people who can stand can boil porridge to the standard of "inserting chopsticks without falling down, unwrapping the cloth bag without falling apart", so that they can rush after eating a few meals.
They are professional opinions, Yang He naturally listened, yesterday has been a day of porridge, the hungry people are much better, and they have winter clothes and bedding, and their faces are full of hope and anger.
"Come and come, all line up to receive food, one by one to ......"
Yang He stood by the temple and watched, watching the chefs of the bureau and the chefs in the yamen scooping porridge for the hungry people, and then the people who received the porridge water were all grateful.
Zhou Mingyuan came over, his feet were full of muddy water, and his body was also full of mud, he stood next to the Yang River, looked at the faces of the hungry people, and sighed in his heart: "These people have resettlement and hope, but now that the Ming Dynasty is like this, where is the hope?" ”
He said: "Shen Yan, I heard that you sent the homeless people, first the children, women and children, and then the young and strong, shouldn't you send the young and strong first?" ”
Yang He looked in front of him, his expression was a little dazed, but he smiled and said: "Brother Qingyuan, the reason why Huaxia is Huaxia is because it pities the young, the orphans, and takes care of the widows and widows. ”
He pointed to the people who donated food and materials over there, wearing hats and robes, and came to Erlang Temple in groups, some of them were men and women, old and young, but they all looked sincere.
He said, "These people, all zealous and kind, and some of them are old and weak, should not they be healed when they are in trouble?" ”
Zhou Mingyuan looked over there and heard the voice coming: "Young master, do you really want to donate these clothes?" You can't even afford to wear it yourself. ”
"Uncle Zhang, it's okay, we live in the preserved fruit shop, so we can eat and sleep, but the hungry people outside the city are freezing every day, so let's help if we can."
"Hey, Uncle Ni, you're here too, what is this?"
"Hehe, it's a big deal, alas, my tea shop is small, and I can't help much, so I'm looking for a few baskets of steamed buns to express my heart."
Zhou Mingyuan looked at it, and finally sighed: "What Shen Yan said is very true, I might as well do it." ”
In the afternoon, the first batch of orphans and young girls left first, all of them wearing oil clothes or robes, and under the leadership of Zheng Wenxuan and other volunteers, they set foot on the official road.
Then the second group, the third group, when these people left, they all knelt down and said one by one: "Thank you, my lord, thank you to the folks of Suining City." ”
In particular, a man from a family knocked his head hard against Yang He, and there were blood stains on his forehead.
Yang He looked at it and saw it.
In the end, these people went on the road, and Zhou Mingyuan watched them go around the puddle and go away on the official road, but for some reason his heart was sour, and he burst into tears.
