Cao Tong is not a real immortal after all, he can only do his best to transport food to Chenzhou and relieve the victims. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He soon discovered that there were too many victims, and every time porridge was distributed, it would cause a riot, and many people were trampled and injured, or even died.

Isn't it just a bowl of porridge, and I don't even want my life, what a sin!

Cao Tong saw the humility of human life, and was both helpless and angry.

"Drunkard, I don't understand, can't you build a few more porridge sheds and arrange a few more people, why is it so miserable?" Cao Yan complained angrily: "Every meal there are people injured, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are careless of human life!" ”

Ouyang Xiu said quietly: "Uncle Guo, don't you think they don't know?" ”

Cao Yan was stunned for a moment, "What does the drunkard mean?" ”

"Alas!" Ouyang Xiu sighed heavily, "There are too many victims. ”

Cao Tong shook his head, still puzzled.

Ouyang Xiu pondered for a long time, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle Guo, Chen Zhou, plus the nearby disaster victims, at least a million, so many people eat and drink, the local yamen can't get enough food, but they can't ignore it." Because once the people are cornered, they will rebel and get out of control. ”

Speaking of this, Ouyang Xiu said: "Uncle Guo is a smart person, he must understand the reason, right?" ”

Cao Tong thought for a long time, and suddenly his eyes widened, and from his pupils, angry flames erupted!

"I see, of course I do!"

Cao Tong said angrily: "They deliberately reduced the porridge shacks and deliberately let the victims loot, so that the young and strong could grab the porridge, while the old and weak women and children were starved to death." The young and strong can rebel, but the old and weak women and children cannot set off the wind and waves, and they will die when they die...... They're not relieving the disaster, they're killing people! ”

Cao Tong woke up like a dream, and Ouyang Xiu smiled bitterly, "For generations, disaster relief is nothing better than that. It is normal for one million victims to survive 300,000 in the end, and it is a great merit to survive 500,000. When the rich minister gave disaster relief, he only saved half of the people, and he was praised by Shilin and praised by all the people. ”

"What is this?" Cao Tong was furious, "They harbored evil intentions and let the people kill each other, I don't understand, can this also be regarded as a credit?" Still shameless? ”

Facing Cao Tong's questioning, Ouyang Xiu smiled bitterly, "The old man went to Wang Gongchen and asked him to come forward to press it, with Uncle Cao's food, the victims may have a little more life." ”

After speaking, Ouyang Xiu ignored Uncle Cao Guo, who was full of horror, and he got up to find Wang Gongchen.

Sure enough, a day later, Wang Gongchen ordered a thorough investigation of the officials who were ineffective in disaster relief, and also singled out five officials who were greedy for disaster relief food privately, and beheaded them in public, splashing blood on the spot.

Seeing this, the victims were fascinated, knelt on the ground, shouted long live, and most of their grievances disappeared, and they were filled with hope and hope for the court again.

When Cao Tong saw this, he suddenly felt very ridiculous, so ridiculous that he wanted to cry!

This is a famous minister who can govern the world, what a bunch of ridiculous liars!

Are you so easy to deceive as ordinary people, can you deceive once or twice, can you continue to deceive?

Sooner or later, the people will see through your tricks.

Cao Tong was very angry and disdainful, in the past, he always heard Wang Ningan say that the literati were shameless, Cao Tong laughed more, and said that people are full of poetry and books, Confucius and Mencius, a belly of poetry and book etiquette, how can morality be so low!

But after really witnessing it, he realized that the hearts of these people were darker than anyone else, and they were more ruthless than anyone else.

Wang Gongchen controlled the food supply on the one hand, and ordered the conscription of the box army on the other. The conditions are not too good, and each box army can get a pound of food a day.

For the hungry victims, it was simply a lifesaver, and everyone sharpened their heads to join the Xiang Army.

After careful selection, a total of more than 10,000 people were recruited, and these Ding Zhuang were transferred away overnight, and the unsuccessful victims and those old and weak women and children only had a strong sense of envy in their eyes.

I didn't realize that when Qingzhuang left, they would completely become fish on the chopping board!

Seeing this, Cao Tong finally remembered, how similar this scene is, when the Yellow River broke, Xia Zhu didn't do this in Hebei! As for Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo, if you go back in time, how many Wenchen have been so relieved.

This method is indeed a good idea, first use soup porridge to stabilize the people, and then eliminate some people, and wait until everyone drinks porridge and has no strength, just want to ask for a life, and then recruit soldiers, the strong people are gone, and the rest is a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, can only be slaughtered.

If you are lucky, you will avoid the famine, and if you are not lucky, you will only starve to death.

Where is disaster relief, it's simply a framed massacre with evil intentions!

But that's it, there are still a large number of people who praise Wang Gongchen and ask for credit. He said that he did a very good job, and after arriving in Chenzhou, he pacified the victims, suppressed the rebellion, and resumed production, and it would not be long before Chenzhou could regain its vitality.

Some people even proposed that Wang Gongchen should re-enter the court and serve as the ruler.

Cao Tong couldn't help it, he locked himself in the room, sat down at the desk, and released all the anger he was full of and turned it into words.

The sheet was written for a long time, and it was written until it was almost dawn, when Cao Tong sealed the music, used his own fire paint, and immediately sent it to the palace and handed it to his brother-in-law.

Cao Tong's actions can't hide Ouyang Xiu, the old master is a little ashamed, he has calculated Cao Tong, this trick can only be the uncle of the country, once he Ouyang Xiu is on the book, it will evolve into a party dispute, procrastination, and in the end, it is the people of Chenzhou who are unlucky.

Over the years, the most successful disaster relief is Hebei, under the auspices of Wang Ning'an, ninety percent of the population has survived, and a prosperous Pingxian County has emerged, compared to the Wenchen of the Manchu Dynasty.

If you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing goods, the life of the people of Chenzhou is still on Erlang, and it is best for Uncle Cao Guo's letter to move Zhao Zhen and change his tune, maybe these innocent people can survive......

The summer is scorching, and the state affairs are like hemp, Zhao Zhen's mood is very bad, and he has no appetite at all, Queen Cao heard that she made a few small dishes with her own hands, in the end, it is the old husband and wife, Zhao Zhen and the queen ate together, and drank a bowl of porridge more than usual, which made Chen Lin happy or something.

After drinking tea after the meal, Empress Cao casually asked, "The concubine's brother didn't embarrass the official family, right?" ”

Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Jing Xiu is very good, he took out 10,000 stones of sugar to solve my worries." It's a shame to say that one person has ascended to heaven, and I, the emperor, want to make your family lose money, which is really shameful! . ”

Empress Cao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Cao family can have today, it is not for Your Majesty's blessing, even if all the family property is taken out, it should be." The concubine has heard that a lot of people have died in Chenzhou, and she is worried that Jing Xiu is not doing well, and the concubine has been chanting scriptures and praying for blessings these days, hoping to eliminate sins and let the dead people reincarnate as soon as possible, and also hope that the world can be less miserable, and the saint will not worry every day. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and patted the back of his wife's hand.

"You are a kind-hearted person, Jing Xiu is very good, what is wrong is those things that are unkind!"

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but sink his face, Cao Yan's secret music was sent yesterday.

Zhao Zhen watched it for a night, Cao Tong wrote all kinds of tricks in the disaster relief, and directly aimed the finger at several ministers who presided over the disaster relief, saying that they were careless of human life, deliberately divided the people, and pushed them to a dead end.

After reading this secret recital, Zhao Zhen couldn't calm down for a long time.

Frankly speaking, Wang Gongchen did a decent job.

Whether it is mobilizing grain, setting up porridge sheds, or even inspecting illegal activities and killing corrupt officials...... He has always done this for disaster relief, and he has done it better than ordinary people.

But under the high-sounding sound, nearly 100,000 people in Chenzhou have starved to death.

Over the next few months, people will starve to death, and the final number may be 400,000, 500,000...... That is, half of the smaller ones will lose their lives!

As a monarch, am I so powerless to be worthy of the trust of all the people?

Zhao Zhen thought for a long time and ordered Jia Changchao and Fu Bi and others to be recruited.

"Tell me, how is the progress of the disaster relief in Chenzhou, and is there any good way?"

Jia Changchao said: "Lao Chen is still trying his best to raise grain, and recently 200,000 stone grain has been transported from Lingnan, and Lao Chen must have sent all of it to Chenzhou." ”

Zhao Zhen turned his gaze to Fu Bi, "What about Fu Xianggong?" ”

"Your Majesty, Lord Wang's disaster relief measures are effective, the people are calm, and in another month or two, they will be able to start recovering. The old minister thought that he could increase the conscription. ”

"How much?"

"Thirty thousand." Fu Bi said simply.

Zhao Zhen took a breath and muttered: "Adding 30,000 people, doesn't it mean that the previous achievements in disarmament have been wasted?" ”

Fu Bi's old face was feverish, and he became more and more embarrassed, "Your Majesty, at an extraordinary time, you have to do this." The old minister dared to say that it was very good to be able to save most of the Li people. Disaster relief has always been so ......"

"Really?"

Zhao Zhen suddenly became violent, "Fu Xianggong, how can I remember that not long ago, someone saved ninety percent of the victims, have you forgotten this?" ”

Fu Bi was taken aback, how could he forget, but the problem was that the disaster relief was done by Wang Ning'an, and the means used were extraordinary, and the civil officials have always been unwilling to admit Wang Ning'an's achievements, nor are they willing to use him as a benchmark, otherwise, everyone will be too faceless.

Seeing that Fu Bi was stunned, Zhao Zhen said: "I have already issued an order, please ask Wang Qing to return to Beijing and let him come up with a strategy." ”
