The capital Chang'an is snowing, and the cold is bullying. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the beginning of the early dynasty, the crown prince Li Chengqian's people proposed to move the Turks to Baidaochuan, and gave a set of high-sounding reasons.
However, after these people put forward this proposal, those who are as smart as the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Shimin have already heard the meaning of these people's words, Bai Daochuan is very close to Xue Yantuo, and the territory there Xue Yantuo has always been very coveted, and now that there are Turks, it is strange that they do not have contradictions.
And now the Turks are vassals of the Tang Dynasty, if Xue Yantuo has a conflict with the Turks, it is justified for the Tang Dynasty to send troops.
Therefore, when this proposal was put forward, Li Shimin was very excited and surprised, he did not expect that the crown prince Li Chengqian's people still had this ability, and this proposal was very suitable for his appetite.
However, just when Li Shimin was excited, the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Ji and others stood up against it again.
"Baidaochuan is abundant in that place, if the Turks recuperate in that place and recuperate, it is undoubtedly a threat to my Datang, don't forget, the Turks are a people on the horse, they have an aggressive blood in their bones, if they are strong, I Datang is afraid that it will take more experience to deal with them."
"Yes, this is a must."
“…………”
Some people are in favor and some people are against, and the two sides have launched a fierce debate above the court, and they are red-faced, but the two sides have distinguished each other like this, and they have not come up with a result, and in the end they can only let Li Shimin make a decision.
Li Shimin did not hesitate, waved his hand, and said, "Just move the Turks to the northern desert of Baidaochuan." ”
Since Li Shimin had the intention to start a war, how could he refuse such a good opportunity? As for whether the Turks will be strong again, he is not worried, after destroying Xue Yantuo, where should the Turks go back, and he Li Shimin does not mind doing the matter of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.
In this way, the matter of the Turkic people's relocation to Baidaochuan was settled.
As soon as this matter was lonely, an official suddenly stood up and said: "Shengshang, it has been snowing in Chang'an, the capital for two days in a row, and now there are many people on the streets who are freezing to death, and there are still many people who have nowhere to escape the cold. ”
That official is very young, he is in charge of the household department, although the household department is in charge of money and food, it is also in charge of the household registration of the people, how many people have died and died, and so on.
After the official stood up and said this, everyone was stunned at first, and then looked at Li Shimin, this kind of thing happens every year, but it is not easy to solve at all, and most of those who freeze to death are beggars and homeless people, they don't even have a household registration, they are all untouchables, who cares about their life and death?
But untouchables are also human beings and human lives, so although they look down on these untouchables, because it is a matter of human life, they are not in a hurry to express their position, they need to know what Li Shimin means first.
After hearing this, Li Shimin frowned slightly, and said: "The people of the world are all my people of the Tang Dynasty, and the occurrence of such a thing in Chang'an, the capital city, is indeed detrimental to the majesty of my Tang Dynasty, so send someone to solve this matter." ”
As soon as Li Shimin finished speaking, Hou Junxin, the head of the household department, stood up and said: "Holy Lord, I am afraid that this matter will not be easy to solve, these people have no fixed residence, if we provide relief, it is inevitable to provide them with houses and food, so that it will cost more money than raising an army." ”
Hou Junxin is in the household department, how to spend the money he must weigh and weigh, if it is all spent on these relief people, then there is money to fight? Without money to fight, his eldest brother will have no way to make a comeback, and it will be difficult for his Hou family to glorify the lintel.
However, as soon as Hou Junxin finished speaking, Wei Zheng immediately stood up: "Lord Hou's words are fallacious, those people are my people of the Tang Dynasty, can't we save them when we die?" ”
Hou Jun said: "Lord Wei has an empty mouth, he can only say something nice, if he can save it, why should this official be this wicked person?" It's just that this matter is so difficult that people can imagine, save? How to save? How to solve the problem of accommodation and food? How to solve the clothes? Even if these can be solved, has Lord Wei ever thought about how much it will cost? The money of the imperial court should be spent on business, big things, not on these people who are not of much use to the country. ”
Hou Junxin probably wanted his eldest brother to be used, so he was a little anxious, and for a while he actually said something that sounded a little ruthless, and after he said this, he was immediately opposed by some people.
"Whoever says they are useless to my Datang, they are my people of the Tang Dynasty, so they are useful to my Datang."
"Yes, people should have compassion, if these people in my Datang don't even have this heart, how is it different from animals?"
"You ......"
Above the court, the quarrel was a little inextricable, and at this time, Ma Zhou, the official of the ministry, stood up and said: "Saint, there is news from Luoyang City again, and I may be of some help in this matter." ”
As soon as they heard this, everyone was stunned, what help does the news from Luoyang City help with the relief of refugees in the capital?
Everyone looked at Ma Zhou, Li Shimin was also a little curious, and asked, "Oh, what's the news over there in Luoyang City?" ”
"Back to the saint, there are three, let's talk about the first one, this first one is that it snowed heavily in Luoyang City for three consecutive days some time ago, but no one froze to death."
As soon as Ma Zhou's words came out, everyone was stunned, and then they didn't believe it.
"How is this possible, how is this possible? Three days of heavy snow, what is that concept, how can it be that no one has frozen to death, is it possible that the people of Luoyang City are all rich, is there not a single beggar? ”
"That's right, Master Ma, there are some things that you don't want to say so much."
"The old man in Luoyang City has also been there, and it is not as prosperous as my Chang'an City, and there are many poor people there, who believes that there is no one who froze to death?"
"Master Ma, don't you want to give gold to the officials of Luoyang City?"
Everyone talked about it, all of them were opposed, but Ma Zhou was not in a hurry, and said: "No, the reason why no one in Luoyang City froze to death is because Tang Xiaohou did a good deed in Luoyang City. ”
Everyone was shocked again, it turned out that Tang Zhou had made a move.
As soon as Ma Zhou's words came out, everyone suddenly became very interested in Tang Zhou's good deeds.
"Master Ma, tell me quickly, what kind of good deed did Tang Xiaohou Ye do to make the entire Luoyang City not freeze to death without anyone freezing to death under the condition of three days of heavy snow?"
"Yes, tell me quickly, what is the ability of the Tang family boy?"
At this time, everyone became urging again, and Cheng Biting Jin was even more excited and anxious, so he almost stepped forward and grabbed Ma Zhou's collar to ask him to hurry up, Ma Zhou was urged to do this, so he had to hurriedly say: "That's the case, it snowed heavily for three days in Luoyang City, and the little marquis saw that some refugees were difficult to survive the winter, so he bought a house with his own money and built the Jishan Hall to relieve those refugees who could not survive the winter." ”
