"However, before Jianyu left, he plundered all the property and young men of Yongping, Zunhua and other cities, and drove the old and weak into the wilderness, and set fire to the city......

Speaking of this, Hu Guang paused, so that the courtiers below could have time to think and digest the news, and then continued: "Today, about a million old and weak people are surrounded by cold winds and invaded by hunger. They were in dire need of help, and every few more moments, someone died. What is the best way to save these millions of old and weak? ”

This news is really unexpected by the civil and military officials, this Jian Prisoner will leave as soon as he leaves, and it is expected that he will rob the property, even if it is a slaughter of the city, it is not an uncommon thing. But what are you doing badly, why do you leave the cumbersome? Isn't this a nuisance to the court? The imperial court was already so poor that the rats starved to death, which is simply worse!

However, I want to think so, but I can't say it. All of a sudden, the civil and military officials were filled with righteous indignation, scolding Jianyu for exterminating humanity and doing such inhumane things. Or shout that people's lives are at stake, there are still so many people, the court must not sit idly by, and must save them.

Hu Guang listened to it for a long time, and none of his mother's people had effective ideas, all of them were talking in generalities, or shouting to save people, or scolding Jianyu, and then, there was no more!

Hu Guang was so angry that his liver hurt a little, and his brows were furrowed, it seemed that he still overestimated the discipline of these people. He only signaled, and the silent whip sounded, quieting the scene.

It was only at this time that Wen Tiren spoke: "Your Majesty is extremely worried, and the most urgent plan now is to have food and cold things. The minister thought that the grain of the capital division should be controlled, and the grain of the surrounding provinces should be quickly replenished, and the grain transferred by the surrounding provinces should be supplemented by the border provinces. The stakes are significant, but they are assessed by the merits of the governors of each province. ”

"Good!" Hu Guang immediately nodded in agreement, "The cabinet speed is drafted, and the celebrant will use the seal, and eight hundred miles will be sent to various places in an expedited manner." ”

The official decree is to be drafted by the cabinet, the celebrant and the celebrant use the seal, and the six departments will not reject the matter, which is the most formal. At this moment, needless to say, the cabinet and the celebrant superintendent said that in the current context, the six departments gave such a righteous move, how could they dare to refute it, so this holy decree was quickly released, and eight hundred miles were sent out of the capital in an urgent manner.

However, Hu Guang was not a little relaxed, and said with a stern face: "Transferring grain from other provinces cannot quench the thirst of the near by water." Ladies and gentlemen, what else can be done to save it! ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to donate this month's salary, and let the house take out excess clothes." Wen Tiren bowed again.

At the beginning, Zhang Zhifa, who had just been promoted to the assistant minister of the cabinet, naturally looked forward to the first assistant and the horse, and immediately expressed his intention to donate money and materials.

"Your Majesty, there are some omnivorous foods in the Tianjin Wei Manor, which are slightly poisonous and cannot be eaten more, but they can also temporarily relieve hunger. or can be used for disaster relief. In addition, the minister's office can also donate surplus clothes to keep out the cold. Xu Guangqi, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, followed along.

Hu Guang was a little curious about what Xu Guangqi said about the poisonous omnivorous, but it was not good to ask at this time, so as not to tear the topic away, so he just nodded approvingly, and then swept his gaze to the other courtiers.

Shousuke and others have taken the lead, don't you want to show your embarrassment? Is it still worthy of being a model of reading and an official model for educating the people? In this context, even if someone is dissatisfied, there is no way not to express it, even if it is a swollen face and a fat man, at least he has to donate something.

Hu Guang immediately asked the eunuch on duty to send an attendant to record on the spot, how much money was donated by such and such an official, how much clothing was donated, and so on.

After such a busy pass, it can be regarded as scraping a layer from the civil and military officials, however, Hu Guang still said with a stern face: "Just like this, whether it is food or clothing, the quantity is far from enough. There must be stronger measures to deal with the aftermath, what else can the Qing and others do? ”

I donated all my money and clothes, what else do I want? The ministers thought in their hearts, silent. There was no way, but the first assistant Wen Tiren came out and said: "The strength is great when there are more people, and the minister suggests that all the Jingshi or the land of Gyeonggi will participate in the disaster relief, or they can save more people!" ”

"Good, just according to what Shoufu said." After Hu Guang praised it, he asked again, "What else do you have to do?" Not to mention that this little thing can save millions of victims? ”

Yes, everything that can be thought of, everything that can be said has been said by Wen Tiren, and it is estimated that those people who were saved will be grateful to him. Some people thought in their hearts that they had to take this opportunity to brush up their reputation.

So, Cheng Ji, one of the ministers, came out and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are stupid, and they can't think of any way to do anything other than just now. But if there is a way to save the people, if you can save one more people, the ministers will also support it, and there is no other word! ”

When these words are put out, this attitude is clear. Not only can I win the favor of the emperor, but after it spreads, others will also know that I am dedicated to the people!

When he opened his mouth, no one understood his wishful thinking. Empty vernacular to brush prestige, who wouldn't?

In this way, the other courtiers also stood up one by one and expressed their attitudes passionately and generously. If you don't know, you really have to praise them, not only donate money and materials (it doesn't matter how much you donate), but also devote yourself to the people, what a good official for the country and the people!

Hu Guang naturally knew what they wanted, and was willing to satisfy them, and when someone expressed his position, he would praise them, or smile and encourage them, and so on.

When the civil and military officials had almost finished speaking, Hu Guang smiled and concluded: "It seems that I am a Ming official, and most of them are concerned about the people, and I am very relieved!" ”

Look, what a nice atmosphere! Hearing the emperor's praise, he reversed the previous punishment of the army, and suddenly felt that you are good, I am good, everyone is good!

But Hu Guang immediately smiled, and immediately ordered: "Since our monarchs and ministers have reached an agreement, we should put saving the people first." I've decided! Coming, spread Mangui, Li Fengxiang, Gao Shiyue, Cao Huachun, Liu Xingzuo! ”

Hearing this, the civil and military officials faintly felt that something was wrong. They keenly felt that the emperor seemed to have set up a game, and then everyone jumped down happily.

After a while, under the attention of the ministers, the governor of the city defense of the Beijing Division, the general soldier of Datong Man Gui, the commander of the Beijing camp Li Fengxiang, the eunuch Gao Shiyue of the imperial horse supervisor, the eunuch Cao Huachun, the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi and the commander of the East Factory, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Liu Xingzuo, came together to meet the order.

Hu Guang looked at the five people below, and immediately ordered: "From this time on, the whole city of Beijing will implement food control. Everyone, etc., shall not gather together to drink and have fun, and be extravagant and wasteful. Once found, no matter who it is, the family property will be confiscated! Man Gui, Li Fengxiang, Gao Shiyue sent troops to inspect the whole city, and they must not be lazy! ”

"Yes!" Man Gui, Gao Shiyue and Li Fengxiang responded loudly at the same time.

"All grain stores will be sealed, and all grain will be given receipts and returned the next day. The seized grain was supervised by Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and the household department sent officials to register, and the people of Beijing were rationed according to the head of the population every day. The surplus food will be relieved as soon as possible! Wen Tiren, Bi Ziyan, Cao Huachun, and Liu Xingzuo are responsible for this matter, and they must not be slack! ”
