Chapter 209 The Law of Disaster Relief
The eldest grandson Wuwu is an unusual woman, in order to win the hearts of Li Shimin, she has done many things that the princess would never do, such as giving shoes to ordinary old people, taking the initiative to give way to women and children, and so on. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At present, Guangliang County has suffered a disaster, and the eldest grandson Wuwu, who is in the whirlpool, saw an opportunity to improve Li Shimin's prestige for the first time, and proposed to open the city gate wide and welcome thousands of disaster victims outside the city into the city, but this proposal was opposed by Chen Fang and Wang Shiren, who were originally displeasing to each other, which made the eldest grandson Wuwu very unhappy. Wang Shiren's evasion and refusal to answer made her even more unhappy.
"Mr. Chen, I don't think you are a delicate person, why don't you explain the reason clearly?" She urged with a cold brow.
"This ......" Chen put go, he had already guessed the true identity of the eldest grandson Wuwu, he naturally would not be so unmeasured and bluntly said how wrong the idea of the eldest grandson Wuwu, he thought about the language a little, and then he spoke: "The girl is merciful, and she is willing to share the weal and woe with the disaster victims in the world, and the contemptible people are deeply moved, but now the opening of the city gate is definitely more beneficial than beneficial in terms of disaster relief." ”
No one doesn't like to wear a top hat, although the eldest grandson Wuwu is more intelligent than ordinary women, but the more people who know how to drill camps like her, the more they like to be put in a high hat, not to mention whether Chen Fang's upcoming talk can move her, this loud sycophant alone is enough to ease the displeasure in her heart.
I saw that after she suffered this sycophant, her face improved a little, but her heart was still worried about entering the city through the disaster gate, so she couldn't help but urge again in a soft tone.
Chen Fang, who received the urging, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly explained to her: "Girl, there are three unfavorable reasons why you can't open the door and release the victims widely. The city has been separated from the city by a solid wall for many days, and the lives of the two sides seem to be in conflict, and if the city gate is opened now, it will inevitably lead to conflicts between the victims outside the city and the residents of the city, which is not good. ”
"Second, the current grain storage situation in Guangliang City is unknown, but the price of grain has risen rapidly from the original one bucket seven and eight Wen Tongbao to about 30 Wen, an increase of more than three times, and there is still a continuous growth force. Now if you put in the disaster victims, there must be food distribution, and the food in the city may not be able to afford it, and then the disaster victims will stay here and become displaced people, and under the pressure of hunger, the rogues will also arise immediately, and then there will be a vicious thing of grabbing food. Taking a step back, even if the city's grain stocks are sufficient, the grain merchants are willing to sell grain at a low price and the government. Once the news spreads that there is continued food to be received here, it will attract more refugees, which sooner or later will be unaffordable. ”
"Third, and most crucially, this is the most important point." Having said this, Chen Fang's face became a little difficult to look at, and the solemnity on his face instantly attracted the attention of all the present, and almost everyone was about to blurt out when he asked him what the most critical point was, he slowly opened his mouth: "Now there are many people suffering from dysentery among the victims, and if the weather clears in the next few days, it will definitely induce the plague at that time, once we can't control everything in time, resulting in the outbreak of the plague, I'm afraid that the entire Guangliang City will be destroyed." ”
After speaking, everyone's faces became very ugly, and everyone was frightened by the words that came out of Chen Fang's mouth, especially the last point, the plague!
Plague itself is just an ordinary word, but where it appears, it represents death, and everyone is not afraid.
"In that case, in my opinion, what should we do before we can effectively respond to the earthquake?" After being silent for a long time, the eldest grandson Wuwu thought carefully about Chen Fang's words, and found that what Chen Fang said was not unreasonable, so he put down his mind about opening the city gate and concentrated on discussing what if the earthquake came.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, although it was better than the old system of the former Sui Dynasty, it was still done in accordance with the Lao Huang calendar in terms of disaster relief, and the representative figure who did it according to the Lao Huang calendar was Wang Shiren, as long as there was no accident in the city, regardless of the wailing outside the city.
It's just that this is not the result that the eldest grandson wants, she wants a clean one, and it is best to be able to sing the praises of virtue and a credit, so she directly threw the problem to Chen Fang, who seemed to be the most intelligent present.
Chen Fang thought about it for a while and said: "Disaster relief should be taken in multiple steps, and the first step is to appease the people inside and outside the city. It doesn't matter if the city is down, as long as the door is not opened, most of the people in the city will shrink into their own one-third of an acre of land, and they will not make any moths. As for the victims outside the city......" At this point, Chen Fang paused, and then said: "As long as the victims can have a mouthful of food, they will not make trouble, so the first step for us to do is to let the victims see things." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall nodded approvingly, but at this time, Wang Shiren jumped out and shouted: "This plan is not appropriate! ”
"Lord Wang, why don't you tell me what's wrong with this plan?" Seeing that Wang Shiren opened his mouth to refute Chen Fang's words, Wei Chigong looked particularly excited and hurriedly asked.
"We don't have enough food on hand to support the victims outside the city for a few days." Wang Shiren said.
There can be no disaster relief without food. Everyone was stunned, but Chen Fang heard that something was wrong.
"Master Wang, I remember that every county government will collect part of the grain and store it in the official treasury for every harvest (every harvest), and it is already ready for emergencies? Year after year, there has been no major accident in Guangliang County, twice a year, why do we have no food on hand in the county government of Guangliang County? He asked curiously.
It is a rule that the government stores grain in case of emergency, even if Chen Fang, who does not know history, knows it, let alone others, after Chen Fang woke up a little, everyone found that something was wrong, and they couldn't help but set their eyes on Wang Shiren.
Wang Shiren glanced at Chen Fang fiercely, and hurriedly explained: "There is indeed grain in Guangliang, but the porridge was given every day in the early days, and now the grain is no longer abundant, only a small one remains." ”
"It's okay, just a few, I believe that Lord Wang will not be so bold as to embezzle official food. Tell me how we distribute food to the victims outside, dead boy. Wei Chigong excused him just right, Wang Shiren was like looking for a bosom friend, and nodded with a flattering smile.
Seeing this, Chen Fang did not grasp Wang Shishi's loopholes, and began to move out the disaster relief methods he had learned in the postmodern era in combination with the current situation.
As mentioned earlier, it is inappropriate to distribute grain, and Chen Fang naturally did not propose to distribute grain, but proposed to continue to cook weak, and to cook some porridge that was a little thinner but with salt. In this way, the health of the victims can be guaranteed, and they will not have the strength to make trouble and obey the arrangements of the government.
After waiting for a while, the victims have already agreed with the government, both physically and mentally, and they will no longer put thin porridge, but will instead put thick porridge, and it must be a standard thick porridge.
"What do you mean by standard thick porridge?"
Don't look at Wei Chigong's black charcoal face, and he doesn't look at Chen Fang, but he has a studious heart, and when he encounters something he doesn't understand, he still takes the initiative to ask. This made Chen Fang slightly stunned, but he still quickly explained: "Inserting chopsticks does not fall, that is to say, after the porridge is cooked, insert a chopstick into it, and this chopsticks cannot be horizontal!" Do not float diagonally. ”
"This, how much food does this cost?" Wang Shiren shouted with a sad face.
"What are you afraid of, it's not over yet?" Chen Fang snorted.
Wang Shiren has the heart to die.
But Chen Fang didn't even look at him from the corner of his eye, and then said: "Wait for the disaster period to almost pass." Then change the thick porridge to thin porridge, and distribute some food at that time, so that the disaster victims will not stay here, and can rush back to the township in time, pack up everything at home, and prepare for the next production, so as not to delay the farm work, and the harvest in the second half of the year. ”
"Mr. Chen, your method is really good, but I'm afraid I can't keep up with the food." The eldest grandson thought for a while and said.
"Well, indeed. However, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and let's talk about it when the official food is almost used. Chen Fang nodded, putting aside the first question for the time being.
"So the next step is the most important step in the disaster relief effort." Chen Fang said.
"I won't ask for food." Wang Shiren had already taken out his hand Juan'er.
Chen Fang glanced at him and said with a smile: "Yes, this second step does cost food." ”
"Now that the whole mountain of Qiuchi Mountain has been flooded, and there are countless dead and wounded, and I don't know how many unfortunate people are still sinking in the boiling water, the second step we must do is to find all the bodies of the dead, and burn them one by one before the epidemic breaks out, so that these soaked or stinky corpses cannot cause another serious plague. It is only by the strength of our yamen alone that it is difficult to get a complete time before the heat, so we must also recruit some young, strong and unafraid victims to join us, supervised by the yamen's tolerance, and they will carry out the execution, and for every corpse recovered, they will be able to obtain a certain amount of rations, so that the plague can be eliminated, and the victims will not be left in a life of idleness and idleness. ”
Wang Shiren wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and sighed: "Fortunately, it's only a few days of work." ”
However, before he had time to let go of his heart, he saw Chen Fang smiling at him jokingly, moving his lips, and saying a silent sentence - not finished yet?
The official robe on Wang Shiren's body was instantly soaked.
"In addition to digging for corpses, we also need to clean up other places that may cause epidemics, like our moat, which has not been dredged for many years, and there is garbage and dead things floating everywhere, and the stench is unbearable. This is extremely easy to become the source of the disease and cause the plague, so I suggest that it is better to fill in the old moat for the time being, and then build a new one on the periphery, so it is impossible to achieve such a labor-intensive thing with the tolerance in the yamen alone, so everything has to be done with the help of the victims, we pay them food, and they dig a new river for us. ”
"But wouldn't it cost many times as much food as much? And what about the money? I am afraid that the construction of a new moat will not be possible without money, right? The eldest grandson Wuwu roughly calculated the cost of re-digging a moat, and couldn't help but be frightened.
Chen Dacheng smiled meaningfully, and said: "Girl, this money and those grains are to be spent, but it doesn't have to be paid by the government, it can be raised from the people, although our Guangliang County is a small place, but there are many rich and noble families in the city, let them donate some from each household, and the total number is a lot." ”
At the beginning of the words, everyone's eyes lit up, but Tang Yun shook his head and said: "Brother Chen, you think too simply, although those rich businessmen are rich, they would rather donate the money to the temple as sesame oil money, or go to spend heaven and wine." If you want them to pay for it, you might as well just take a knife and cut their flesh, it will come faster, unless you ......"
At this point, Tang Yun secretly glanced at the eldest grandson Wuwu, who was just looking at the eldest grandson Wuwu in his eyes, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Unless what?" ”
"When the imperial court made a decree, otherwise I would not have thought of raising money!" Tang Yun stared at the eldest grandson Wuwu fiercely, as if he had entrusted the responsibility of asking for the will of the imperial court to her.
But this kind of will, the eldest grandson Wuwu will not ask the court for anything.
Everyone fell into a state of sorrow again, except for Chen Fang.
I just heard him smile and say, "That's not necessarily, I have a way to make them all spit out the silver." ”
"What's the solution?" Everyone present shouted in unison.
Chen Fang smiled, and no longer sold Guanzi, but straightforwardly explained his own method. "We first secretly let people spread the news, saying that the disaster is getting worse and worse, and there are rogues nearby, and then Lord Wei Chi and Lord Tang will hold an emergency meeting, and be sure to bring those rich and noble families with them. At that time, it was announced at the meeting that in order to defend Guangliang, the yamen decided to dig a new moat, but there was still a little money left, so let everyone get together! ”
Wei Chi congratulated his eyes on the light, touched his head, and said, "Yes, such a simple method, why didn't Dao Ye think of it?" But...... Hehe, this is not the best, the best thing is that we secretly make a few more fake rogues commit crimes, which scares them out of the blood, and the Taoist wants to see if they give it or not. ”
In the end, Wei Chigong was born as a bad embryo, and he was experienced in doing bad things. I was sorry for their angry faces at all, and his words made everyone look at each other.
No matter how big or small everyone here, except for Chen Zain, they can be regarded as officials of the imperial court, and they are really a little embarrassed about such a dark plan, whether they should agree to it or not.
