After the earthquake, Beizhili was in shambles. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoCountless houses have collapsed, and countless people have been crushed and injured.

Although the earthquake in Daming this time was very powerful, according to the standards of later generations, it was also eight magnitude. However, at this time, there are no buildings that are too tall, and even if ordinary houses fall, they may not be able to kill people.

At the time of the earthquake, Xiaotian was in the Jiangnan area, dealing with the problem of the bank, and it should be said that he was far away from the epicenter, but even so, he could still clearly feel that the ground was trembling. It is conceivable that this earthquake was tragic.

Xiaotian's wife and children are all in the capital, of course, they are very worried about their safety, and they are now whipped up and rushed back day and night.

Along the way, the farther north you go, the colder it gets, and the same gets worse. God seems to have done it on purpose, in the entire territory of Daming, it seems that the colder the place, the more severe the earthquake, the people lost their houses and residences, wrapped in cotton clothes and quilts, and hugged each other together for warmth. But even so, Xiao Tian still saw a lot of white bones along the way, and many people couldn't get up again after being the ground.

Even, after the earthquake, the imperial court did not have enough energy to provide relief, and a large number of people froze to death and starved to death because they could not receive timely treatment.

This really doesn't blame the court for being corrupt and incompetent, it's really because the court can't have both. The immediate priority is not disaster relief, but border defense!

Xuanfu Datong has become a disaster area, how can this Great Wall defense line not be damaged? The 50-mile defensive line that was just repaired this year was destroyed by an earthquake. Although the earthquake in Tatar is not necessarily lighter than ours, people live in tents! Even if it collapses, it won't kill anyone.

You say people freeze to death? People just don't have an earthquake, and a few people won't freeze to death in any year.

In this way, people are short of clothes and cotton, and your door is wide open, why don't you borrow something from you?

The major event of the country of soldiers, the newly built Wanshou Palace in Jiajing, was also collapsed when it was about to be completed, and it was not taken care of at all, and it was the first priority for the imperial court machinery to turn with all its strength to protect the northwest, as for the victims? This is not a famine, there is no possibility of rebellion at all, let them wait.

In this way, the imperial court, which was originally quite prosperous, suddenly became nervous again.

Xiao Tianhuo hurried back to the capital, fortunately, his house was built relatively strong, except for a few tiles, there was no other loss.

The blessing in disguise is that during the earthquake, Lu Rui quickly took the child away, and since then, the child has not left his hand much for several days.

Thankfully, my aunt's postpartum depression was finally cured.

In the next few days, Xiaotian organized people to repair his house, and it was repaired quickly, but seeing the walls of most people in the capital falling down, he felt quite uncomfortable. On a cold day, the people don't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and they don't know how to live this day.

This is the case in the best places in the capital, and I am afraid that other places are even worse, especially in the west, where their own houses have not been settled, and their wives and children are shivering in the cold wind, but they are forced by the imperial court to repair the Great Wall.

Fortunately, Jiajing, the emperor, may not have done anything in his life, but there is one thing that cannot be denied, that is, he vigorously promoted the cultivation of cotton, so that there are enough warm clothes on the market.

The imperial court is still easier to talk when it has money, and all the cotton on the market has been purchased by the imperial court and used to help the people.

Other places can be left alone, but the northwest is the top priority, I am already ready to move, after the natural disaster, and then the military disaster, where can the people in the northwest still have a way to live.

Jiajing had already gone to Taimiao to ask for guilt, and Xiaotian found that going to Taimiao to ask for guilt was actually a good way to avoid trouble.

The imperial court has done its best, while ensuring border defense, in addition to distributing cotton clothes and food, it can do nothing, and at the same time, in order to let the people rebuild their homes, the imperial court has also exempted all the affected people from taxes next year for the first time.

But there is absolutely no manpower, all the manpower has been repaired on the Great Wall, Xiaotian is anxious in his eyes, but he can't think of anything, there is any place that can help.

There are still those ignorant people in the imperial court who want Xiaotian to help fight the war, but Xiaotian has a navy under his hands, do they want to land on the grassland? Not to mention whether the enemy can be found in the vast grassland after landing, can it be defeated if it is found?

Black clouds are about to destroy the city, and the imperial court has received news that the Tatars have begun to assemble, and a big war is about to break out, which is inevitable. Daming has had money in the past two years, and the combat effectiveness of the army has increased significantly, and if the defense line can be repaired quickly, it is not a big problem to block it, but in this way, how many ways can the people in the west live?

In less than a month, the number of people in the northwest alone who still could not live in houses reached 700,000. After all, when the border is in an emergency, only a small number of people can afford to build houses with the money and hands.

In the end, there was really no way, and these people didn't want to wait for death, so they all rushed to the capital.

This seems to be a common phenomenon in feudal society, when the big guy can't survive, he will naturally run to the place where he can live, and when he doesn't know where he can live, he will naturally run to the capital.

At this time, the court bigwigs are facing such a problem. The northwest to the capital is thousands of miles, to say the least, you have to walk for a month or two. There are countless levels, as long as you want to stop it, you can always stop it. Now the question is, should we stop it or not?

Jiajing did not hold a court meeting, so he did not have a chance to quarrel in Yuxi Palace, but Xiaotian heard that the cabinet had already quarreled.

Most of the Yan Party faction led by Yan Song is a blocking opinion, and the reason is very simple, because these people came to the capital, and they couldn't help it. The temperature in the capital is not much warmer than in the northwest, this is not a famine, there is food, and the imperial court has no way to conjure up houses for them.

Yan Song and his Yan Party can't say how bad they are, but one thing is certain, that is, inaction, to put it bluntly, is to do things with the idea that more things are better than less. These victims are in the northwest, and the imperial court has done everything it can do, and it will be benevolent and righteous, and it is not at least not in sight how many people will die, but if they get into the capital and die again, it will be another matter.

Therefore, Yan Song's meaning is actually to keep them far away in the northwest, and love them to death.

Such a policy, of course, made Xu Jie, Li Mo and other Qingliu righteous elements unable to see it, and quarreled with Yan Song and them-for-tat. (To be continued.) )
