In the city of Zhuo County, the capital of Youzhou, the new guard Chai Shao is worried about one thing!

This year's drought in the north, the entire Youzhou, the entire Hebei Province is a disaster area, a few days ago there have been displaced people on the west side of Youzhou, fortunately, the local Cui family agreed to the imperial court to open a warehouse to release grain!

Now that the ten days have passed, Cui's grain release has ended, and the grain and grass in the DPRK have arrived, Chai Shao should not be in a hurry, but it is precisely because of this matter that Chai Shao is a little worried!

Various grain transport teams have been sent to various places for disaster relief, but the bad thing is here, the disaster relief team went well, it was very smooth, and the local people welcomed it!

But when the convoy came back, the dead and alive people would not let them go, saying that what would we eat if we left the convoy?

In the end, there was a big joke, when the convoy came back, people from all over the country also followed the convoy, which obviously means that at least they will not starve to death if they follow the convoy of grain!

Although the grain transport officer has clearly told them that the grain is being transported in a steady stream, and the grain will be delivered every few days, but the displaced people don't believe it, where did the imperial court get so much grain in this catastrophic year? I've never heard of it before!

Since the imperial court said so, it means that the state capital has grain, and everyone goes to block the state capital and guard the big granary of the state capital, at least it is better than starving to death at home!

So I don't know if it's intentional or coincidence, the people everywhere saw the fleeing refugees, those who couldn't get through also joined, the team is getting bigger and bigger, several big cities in Hebei Province have been surrounded by displaced people for three days, and people don't make trouble, just wait for the government to send food to eat!

In this way, the matter of displaced people gathering in various places again caused Li Er to be surprised!

Didn't you just appease the displaced people? The warehouse has already been opened to release grain, why after ten days, the displaced people not only did not decrease, but gathered more and more? And it's all over the place, as long as it's a big city, it's surrounded by homeless people? Is there anyone who is getting in the way?

For this matter, Li Er immediately sent an elite messenger to investigate, but the answer he got made Li Er cry and laugh!

There are many old people among the people who have gone through troubled times, everyone has never seen anything, drought, locust plague, war, plague, as long as people over 30 years old, basically these kinds of hardships have been experienced!

The Tang Dynasty has just been established for ten years, and there are five years in the war in the world, before the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there were disputes at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and there were continuous wars for many years, at that time, everything was grabbed by fighting, ten years of war, during which there were countless natural disasters and man-made disasters, who cared about the people? Who cares about natural disasters?

When a natural disaster comes, the harvest is not good? As long as it is not under his own rule, and the people who die are not in their own territory, which way will the king be in charge?

If something happens to our own territory, then well, in order to survive, we can fight and rob, and we don't have to worry about it, it's nothing more than a matter of victory or defeat!

So no matter what, it is the lower class people who suffer from the disaster!

When natural disasters meet wars, who cares about the lives and deaths of the people, selling their sons and daughters, changing their children and eating, etc., as long as they can survive, basically anyone will do it!

Even when there was a natural disaster, there was no war, and the imperial court faced a catastrophe, or sacrificed to the heavens to ask for help, or opened warehouses in various places to release grain!

But the food is also very limited, basically after a few days the imperial court can not hold on, in the end everyone still has to flee, escape from the disaster-stricken hometown, flee to the place where there is food and water, rich and bumper harvest, survive the disaster season and then return to the hometown, this is the unanimous view and opinion of the old people!

This year is good, who has ever seen a year of great disaster, the imperial court sent food to the village, so that families can stay at home to survive the disaster? No one believes it, and instead of believing such an absurd and ridiculous lie, it is better to come out and flee as soon as possible, while there are still rations!

Therefore, all the big cities were besieged, and Li Shimin's desk was not for the first three days, and it was full of concerts discussing this matter!

In Li Shimin's opinion, this matter is not good, but the bad thing is that the people have not trusted the Tang Dynasty court!

The good thing is that the people are not completely unconvinced, at least they are still trying to believe it, otherwise they would not have fled around the city, but all the way south!

Li Shimin has nothing to worry about about this matter, so be it, the people like to be closer to the city! Anyway, it's all grain everywhere! Of course, if all the people in the periphery are gathered together, it will save the trouble of transporting grain!

But the emperor thinks so, and the chief officials who are besieged in various places don't think so, so many people get together, and they have to be fed every day, the so-called nothing is wrong, what if these people get together and make a mess?

There are more and more people, what if someone is born with a disease and finally has a plague? Therefore, after receiving the emperor's edict, the knowledgeable official wrote about the matter again! For example, Chai Shao!

Just when Chai Shao was worried about this, someone came to report that there were students from Zhongnan Academy who asked to see him!

When someone appeared in the City Lord's Mansion, Chai Shao was stunned!

This, isn't this his own son?

It turned out that these two people were the Chai brothers who were sent to Youzhou by Bai Fan, Chai Zhewei and Chai Lingwu!

The two were originally responsible for teaching the use and maintenance of pressurized water wells in various parts of Youzhou, and followed the imperial court to pay attention to the disaster situation and help the people!

Now that the disaster has reached this point, there is no need to do the work of digging wells, only to pacify the people!

But the people are all old people who have experienced disasters, where will they listen to the words of the imperial court, and in the end, the two of them can't stop the homeless people from gathering, so they can only come to the state capital!

Since the two entered school, they rarely saw their father, their mother died early, their father had to lead the army to fight, the father and son got together less and left more, the last time they met was at the time of the New Year's Festival, and then Youzhou was pacified, Chai Shao was sent out, and the two children have not seen their father for more than half a year!

Chai Zhewei is fifteen years old, and Chai Lingwu is only ten years old!

After two months of training, the two of them have lost their scholarly anger, and they are a lot more mature and capable, even Chai Lingwu, who is only ten years old, has an unusual child's mature temperament!

When Chai Shaochu saw each other, he almost didn't recognize them, these two are really his two children?

"The child meets his father!"

The two immediately knelt down and kowtowed to their father!

Chai Shao came back to his senses, hurriedly stepped forward and pulled up his two sons, looked around and looked around, and was full of joy after reading it!

"Good, good! Zhongnan Academy is really a treasure place for nurturing talents, Mr. Bai is really powerful, I haven't seen him for a long time, and I can't even recognize my father!

At this time, you no longer look at the original Chang'an, and you can see that you have grown up! Yes, it's my Chai family's species!

I heard that the imperial court sent you out to experience two months, so tell your father about the harvest! ”

The three of them sat down, and Chai Zhewei spoke, "At first, the master sent us out, only saying that it was to defend Huaxia and go to the national disaster, but after two months, the child knew what suffering was, and only then did he know that it was not easy for the people to survive, and the child felt quite ashamed of our chaotic life in Chang'an in the past!"

It's that the second brother won't go to play now, and when he sees people in difficulty, he will take the initiative to help, and he has met many children of the same age in the past two months, and he will take the initiative to teach them literacy when he has nothing to do!

I think this is the true meaning of the Master who sent us, not to expect us to do much of a thing, but to let us see the ordinary life and cherish everything that is hard-won! ”

Chai Shao nodded and said, "Yes, you can put down your body and integrate into the people, instead of looking down on the suffering people, I am very pleased to be a father, after all, you are my Datang talents, and you are no longer the gentlemen you once were!" Very good! ”

Chai Lingwu said, "We usually get along with people like this in the academy, we do everything by ourselves, we have to salute and say hello when we see the elderly, and we have to take care of each other when we see the children, the master said, there is only an age gap between people, no matter what they do, the people outside are just like the gardener's grandfather, the cook's aunt is as kind as the academy's gardener, grandfather, cook, aunt!" ”

Chai Zhewei also said, "Yes, we are used to doing this in the academy, and if we let the child scold and instruct others, the child will not be able to do it!" It always feels very bad! It's awkward!

In the academy, the master has never asked for a servant or maid, and he does everything himself, but the child feels that the master is the most carefree person in the world! The child is very envious! ”

Seeing that even his youngest son could do this, Chai Shao was completely convinced, Zhongnan Academy, just by virtue of this matter, it should be the first in the world!

"Father, the child is here to solve the problem for the father, and it is not a way for the displaced people outside the city to gather like this, and their safety must be guaranteed!"

"Oh? Do you have a way? Come on! ”
