Tang Yi grabbed the crutches in the corner of the wall and limped out of the room, the cold wind blew, and the feeling of suffocating oppression disappeared, at this time Zhu Shan drove the carriage to Tang Yi.

"Young master, get in the car."

"Hmm." Tang Yi got into the carriage and went out from the backyard. He left for a long time, the room was silent, Tang Xiucai's face kept changing, to be honest, he was a little embarrassed, but also proud.

The Three Principles and Five Constants are the shackles of every scholar, and disobeying the teacher means that you will be ruined and ruined. But Tang Xiucai did not regret it, he had been down, he knew what it was like to be hungry and cold, no matter what, the safety of thousands of refugees was more important than anything else.

On the contrary, he was proud of his son's decision, in the past, he always felt that Tang Yi was too slippery and selfish, but after this incident, Tang Xiu can proudly say that his son is a true scholar who takes the world as his own responsibility, and his character is much higher than some people! Just blatantly contradicted the teacher, and the consequences were quite serious......

After a long silence, Tang Xiucai suddenly stood up and bowed.

"Gong Kamiizumi, Mr. Jingchuan, in the lower ......"

"Needless to say!" Tang Shunzhi suddenly stopped Tang Xiucai, raised his head and looked at the ceiling, the corners of his mouth were grinning, and he actually laughed, laughing exceptionally happily.

He laughed loudly, and Wei Liangfu was also full of smiles, constantly twisting his beard, and his chin was pleased.

"The outside wants to mix, and the inside is not a group, and he is worthy of being an old disciple!"

Tang Shunzhi glanced at the smug old man Wei, and sneered: "Shangquan Gong, looking down at your life, when did you not live in groups?" ”

"Hahaha, how did Yixiu know that the old man had handed over what he had learned all his life to his apprentice!"

I see that you have cultivated a cheeky skin in your life, and you have a thick race over the city wall. Tang Shunzhi secretly slandered, he raised his head, looked at Tang Xiucai, who was still a little dazed, and bowed slightly.

"Ling Lang is talented, the most important thing is to have insight into people's hearts, even if he is a veteran for more than ten years, he can't compare to deal with things. Because of this, I am worried that Ling Lang will become a character like Yan Song. When I saw him today, I was finally relieved to hand over the great task of inheriting the study of the mind to him. ”

Wei Liangfu and Tang Shunzhi are both rare gentlemen, and when they said this, Tang Xiucai was convinced, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Shangquan Gong, Mr. Jing Chuan is open-minded, thank you for your generosity in place of dogs." ”

"Hehe, don't be busy!" Tang Shunzhi said with a smile: "How can you not punish him, just punish him to find a way to solve the embarrassment of the refugees, if he does it well, he will not be blamed in the past, if he does not do it well, the two crimes will be one!" ”

……

Tang Yi, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly hit a spirit, maybe Tang Shunzhi and Lao Wei scolded themselves, anyway, the master broke the jar and broke it, what can they do to me, it still matters as a refugee.

With the mentality of atonement, Tang Yi came to the outside of the city, and when he jumped out of the carriage, he was immediately stunned by everything in front of him.

The crowd that could not be seen at a glance, without any shelter from the wind and rain, or in groups of three or five, or scattered and listlessly collapsed on the ground.

Everyone was in tatters, with dirt on their faces, and they were not even clothed. The young child desperately squeezed into his mother's arms, trying to suck a mouthful of sweet juice, but the mother had not eaten for two days, and there was not a trace of liquid, and the child began to cry.

Although Lord Zhizhou ordered the opening of a porridge factory, it was a drop in the bucket at all, and only those strong men could grab it, in fact, the imperial court has always done the same way to make porridge, as long as the young and strong can eat enough and don't make trouble, everything will be fine. As for the elderly, the weak, the women and the children, they are like consumables in the animal herd, which are about to be eliminated in the dry season.

Silently passing through the crowd, hungry people stretched out their pitch-black palms, their eyes full of supplication. Tang Yitie hardened his heart and didn't take out a single one, not because he was stingy, but because he knew that Xiao En Xiaohui was useless.

After passing through the crowd, almost a hundred paces away, there was a mass grave, and in the past two days there had been more than a dozen corpses, hastily swept with reeds, and they were too lazy to bury them in the soil.

In the distance, there was a group of wild dogs, looking this way from time to time, their scarlet eyes staring at the black crowd, as if they were watching their own delicious meal. Maybe it won't be long before more people die and they will be able to enjoy delicious meat!

Life and death are separated by a short hundred steps, and the strong contrast makes Tang Yi more and more depressed, there is no need to say more, as long as he is a man, he should shoulder the responsibility.

"Let's go, get back."

Tang Yi's carriage disappeared from the sight of the refugees, and in the eyes of the refugees, he might be a curious boy who wanted to see what the displaced people were like. Look, they have nothing left, are you still afraid to look, everyone from the world has the ability to come, and see how they are worse than dead!

……

On the way back to the city, the sky was thick with clouds, and Zhu Shan couldn't help but feel excited.

"Young master, the sky has changed, and it's going to snow."

Snowfall, for those people outside the city, is no less than the end of the world, the rapid drop in temperature, will take away a large number of old and weak patients. Then the snow melted, and they had to soak in the muddy water, and no matter how strong the men were, they would get sick or even die.

Tang Yi kept his face calm and squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "State Ya!" ”

"Okay!"

Zhu Shan waved the whip vigorously, the carriage moved forward rapidly, and arrived in front of the Zhizhou Yamen in one breath, Tang Yi jumped down from the car, and many of the officials on both sides knew him and rushed forward to say hello.

"Little Xianggong, you are here, the weather is getting more and more, come to the class room to bake the fire, let's go to the hall to honor the master."

After Tang Yi thanked him, he came into the class room, and after a while, Zhou Xun hurried over, and apologized as soon as they met: "Virtuous nephew, it's all my fault for being careless that day, just thinking about protecting Lord Chen, and even hurting my virtuous nephew, I, I can't compensate you." ”

Zhou Xun bowed to the ground and waited for a long time, Tang Yi didn't make a sound, he pouted like this, his old face was red, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

"Why, Lord Chen doesn't want to see me?" Tang Yi said leisurely.

Zhou Xun hurriedly stood up, let out a long sigh, and said: "Virtuous nephew, the lord also has his difficulties, let me tell you the truth, the yamen really can't draw food." ”

This rebellion seems to have passed, but in fact, the real reshuffle has just arrived, the lost city, the casualties of the army and civilians are not counted, and it is impossible to say without a few heads.

For the officialdom of Nanzhili, the top priority is to make every effort to remedy it in accordance with Zhu Zhiliang's strategy, and exonerate himself as soon as possible before the arrival of the imperial court.

Chen Menghe, as the governor of Taicang, couldn't stay out of the matter, after all, Taicang was also beaten in by the Japanese invaders.

"Virtuous nephew, we only have 180,000 stone of grain in Taicang, of which 100,000 stone will be lent to the big silk households for land requisition, and 30,000 stone will be left for the guest soldiers and horses who are about to be transferred. And you also know that these things on the books will be discounted when they arrive at the warehouse, and fifty stone a day is already the limit. However, the lord has already written to the imperial court, asking for food to be collected from all over the country and waiting for it to be transported to ......"

"When it arrived, the people would have died a long time ago!"

Tang Yi's words made Zhou Xun dare not speak, so he could only stare at them wide-eyed. Tang Yi barely suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Uncle Zhou, let's not talk about the food first, seeing that it is snowing, we can't let the people freeze to death!" ”

"This ......" Zhou Xun looked embarrassed and said with a wry smile: "Virtuous nephew, there are still thousands of people in Taicang who have no place to live, this, this is not easy to do!" ”

"It's easy to do!" Tang Yi said: "You go and ask Lord Chen, if you can trust me Tang Yi, you can only send a hundred servants to me, and I have my own way to solve the tens of thousands of refugees outside the city." ”

Zhou Xun was stunned for a moment, and asked worriedly: "Virtuous nephew, that's tens of thousands, it's not a small number......

"You don't care what I do, anyway, I have a way, just agree!"

Zhou Xun nodded, and readily agreed: "Virtuous nephew, my heart is not iron, if you really have an idea, count me as Lao Zhou." ”

……

Coming out of the Zhizhou Yamen, Tang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Menghe had already agreed to hand over the relief of the victims to him, and asked Tang Xiucai to help, and finally asked Shang Fang to find the sword.

If you want to help refugees, the best way is to use work for relief, so that the big guys can move, and you will be saved. It's just that the people are not far from death at the moment, where can they have the strength to work, so the top priority is to help everyone build shelters from the wind and rain first, and get enough food.

"Let's go, let's go and visit each family again."

Tang Yi didn't stop, and rushed directly to several famous wealthy businessmen in Taicang, as well as some big families. There is no food in the imperial court, it does not mean that these people do not have it, since the Changwen paper shop has become more and more prosperous, Tang Yi has formed a huge network of contacts, and it is finally time to use it.

I walked three grain merchants in a row, and when I saw Tang Yi, they were all very polite, and when they heard that Tang Yi wanted to borrow grain, these people shook their heads.

"Xiao Xianggong, you are a bodhisattva, we pay attention to making money in business, let's put it this way, the price of grain will skyrocket in the first month, and the food in our hands is silver, gold. For your sake, we will donate fifty stone of grain, and as for any more, it will not work. ”

Every household has this attitude, businessmen can't do it, then the deceased family will see, they don't cultivate and read heirlooms, don't they attach importance to hometown friendship, they should always be able to come up with something!

Ran a few more in a row, except for the Wang family, who promised to borrow 500 stones, the rest were inferior to the merchants, and they were only willing to take out two stones and three stones, which was simply to send them for food.

"Young master, let's do our best, let's go home first and think about it in the long run!"

"No!" Tang Yi suddenly gritted his teeth and roared stubbornly: "If they don't make a move, they can rely on me Tang Yi alone, go and tell Lei Qi, Wu Tiancheng, plus your father, and recognize me Tang Yi, just come over to me!" ”

Zhu Shan hurriedly went to inform that Tang Yi's lonely figure looked lonely and lonely on the crowded streets.
