Naturally, this official couldn't be the master, so he had to laugh dryly, "Yizheng, you're joking, there is no such thing, it's just the old and the crippled, and we don't care about it." Besides, there are many refugees, and these people have their own relatives and nephews, and if we do it, we may be besieged. Maybe there is anyone here who is the family of the officers and soldiers in the Anlu battalion, and they can't afford to provoke them. ”

"You can't afford to provoke it, I provoke it, and those who dare to come to the palace to make trouble will end up like this. You are the city god, you have your own way, pass on a word for me. The palace here is reluctant to give up porridge and money, even if the whole family is going to starve to death, it will be far away from the palace, and if he comes again next time, then he won't have to worry about starvation. My sword is the one that kills people. This time, I hired someone to carry it back, who wants to find trouble, come to the palace to find me! ”

There are many disaster victims, and there are few ways to make money, as long as they are willing to pay, there is naturally no shortage of strong men who are willing to carry people. Yang Chengzu took out the silver, and someone took the initiative to come out and leave with the wound, and Yang Chengzu held a whip in his hand, and glanced around with a fierce light, and the victims who had just escaped only dared to look at him from a distance, talking about something, but no one dared to come forward. And he carried a whip and took the iron head and others around the palace for half a circle, and found that near the back wall of the palace, someone took wood, broken bricks and other things, and began to build a simple shack.

"What's going on? Has anyone promised them a house here? ”

The official smiled awkwardly, "There are too many victims, and there is limited space in the city, so they can't afford to live in a hotel." They all live in the ditch, and they don't speak, and they don't live together with men and women, and they don't become a family. The state pastor said that everyone should take care of the refugees' accommodation......"

"Wanzhou Mu is a person who reads the books of saints, benevolence and righteousness. He wanted to take care of it, and I supported it with both hands. But how benevolent he is is his business, he can't use the palace to do this favor for him, next to the palace, there are so many shacks, what has become of it? Come on, tear it down for me. Whoever dares to stop it, give me a hand! ”

With his words, Song Guoen and the others rushed over directly, and more than 100 people came out of the Honor and Guard Division, and they smashed and smashed again, crying and grabbing the ground. Under the helpless gaze of the officer, the shacks that the victims had built with great difficulty were demolished.

Seeing these old and weak women and children crying bitterly and being beaten by whips to flee into the distance, and some would rather be beaten with their skin open and flesh open, than kneel on the ground and not get up, the official plucked up his courage and whispered: "Yizheng, take a look, can you be accommodating?" After all, it's not easy for everyone, and they're also pitiful. ”

"Pathetic?" Yang Chengzu snorted, "Since you are in the public gate, you must be good at cultivating, it is good to have this heart, but it is better to see what the situation is." To build the house so close to the palace, what kind of heart is this? Look at these woods, find a few to the root of the wall, you can climb up along the wood at night, and you can jump into the palace to steal things with neat hands and feet. Is it time to say again that if they don't steal, they will starve to death, so they should be considerate? If the water is gone and the palace is piggybacked, should it also be said that the royal family has a great cause, and we must also be considerate of the suffering of the people? You can be considerate, but I can't. I am responsible for the safety of this palace, and this cannot be allowed. Besides, the back wall is where the inner palace of the palace is located, and they are all female dependents, what is wrong, can you take responsibility? ”

Seeing him say this, the official was speechless, and Yang Chengzu turned around and ordered: "From now on, patrol day and night." No idle people are allowed to stay and watch near the palace, and if someone dares to build a house or ask for money and food, I will bear the burden of beating as many as there are, and killing people. ”

After he arranged these things, not long after returning to the Honor and Guard Division, Huang Jin came over and said that Concubine Jiang had announced him, thinking that the dispute outside the door had reached Concubine Jiang's ears. During this time, Yang Chengzu met with Concubine Jiang a few times, and developed the rule of reporting regularly and asking for instructions when there is something. At the time of this meeting, the bead curtain in the middle had been removed, and the two of them had a direct face-to-face conversation.

Concubine Jiang is less than forty, and because of good maintenance, her skin is fair, and she looks like she is about thirty. Graceful and luxurious, the lady is full of temperament. If you can be a princess, she will naturally not be ugly, and her face is very kind, and she is a woman who is easier to get along with. And the first to sit with him is Mrs. Xingxian Wang, this woman is a few years younger than Concubine Jiang, and she is also a beauty, but her face is a little scathing, which makes people look and feel, not too comfortable.

"What's going on out there? The first king is in Japan, and our Xing palace has always been benevolent, although due to the status of the clan, it is not good to come forward directly to give money and food. However, we have given a lot of money and food to the state government, and in previous years, because of the relationship between Xingwang Mansion, we were able to save a lot of lives. Today, this kind of person with a knife and a cane, if the prince is in Japan, I am afraid that it will not be allowed. ”

"Yes, Yang Yizheng, you did this too badly. Whether it is buying weapons or training soldiers, these are all for the safety of the palace. But as soon as the expulsion of the victims is done, the reputation of our palace will plummet this time. The left and right are just some disaster victims, why bother to be so close to the enemy, I don't know, I think they are the rebels of King Ning. ”

Mrs. Wang didn't have a good opinion of Yang Chengzu because of Xiaocui's incident last time. But also because the result of that incident was too unexpected for her, and it also made her restrain a little. didn't dare to clash head-on with Yang Chengzu, so he could only beat the side drum.

Yang Chengzu was not so timid because of the reproach of the two princesses, he only knelt down and kowtowed: "The princess is graceful, the minister has already asked some old people in the Honor and Guard Division, although there were refugees who came to ask for relief in previous years, but few people dared to build a house outside the palace." Everyone consciously gets as far away from the palace as possible, and it's rare to get so close. In addition, this year's situation is different from previous years, and the market is not very peaceful. ”

"I've heard a little about this, but when there are many refugees, the world will be more chaotic. You can't just say that refugees are thieves, right? ”

"That is true, except that these people may not be thieves, but they can become thieves at any time. After all, they have no food in their stomachs, and the palace is rich and well-fed, and people have nothing to do, which makes them easily resentful. We eat meat, they drink soup, we eat enough, they don't have enough, we have clothes to wear, they have no clothes to wear. These are all resentments. ”

"It's okay to be a little resentful, when you get home, you will disperse. However, if this kind of resentment accumulates, it is easy to have problems, and it accumulates in one place every day, like a powder keg, and it is not known when it will explode. They knelt outside the house today to ask for money and food, and tomorrow they will call more people to come, after all, everyone has villagers, everyone has relatives. Today the elderly are disabled, tomorrow they will be normal people, if one day they don't give, they will feel that the palace does not care whether they live or die. ”

"You mean?" Compared with Concubine Jiang, Mrs. Wang is a little less benevolent, but more pragmatic. Hearing this, her gaze and expression had changed somewhat.

"Prevention is better than prevention. Every year during the disaster year, there will always be some places where there are some things that rob rice shops and grain shops. Those people may be farmers who do their duty, but when they are hungry, these people will become wolves. Now that the thousand years old are driving, the son of the world is young, if these people make noise and alarm the son, it will be difficult for the minister to die and atone for his sins. ”

"So I can only let the trouble happen before it happens, and then we can break people up first. Let them know that the palace is reluctant to give up porridge and rice, and if they don't come here to wait, they will also be saved from running the wrong way. A liter of rice raises a benefactor, and a bucket of rice raises an enemy. They don't expect anything from the palace, and if we give us some food, they will think it's a favor. If we give food at the beginning, they will think that the government's relief is a matter of course, and if they don't get enough money in the future, they will be angry, so the ministers will have the courage to break them up. ”
