Chapter 429: No Authority, No Emperor

The emperor wanted to go out to inspect the snow disaster, which was the most sensational thing in Chang'an City since the beginning of winter. The reaction of the people of Chang'an City caused by the incident was greater than the rebellion of the Shun Dynasty army. When the chaos of the victims has just been quelled, the Son of Heaven will brave the danger and the cold to come out to visit the victims, which makes things a little strange for the people.

Most of the people thought that the new emperor would at most walk out of the palace and look at the victims from afar.

But the fact is that Su Yan walked among the victims, personally distributed winter clothes and food to them, and there was no large number of guards around him, just with a few officials who accompanied and accompanied him, with an approachable appearance, the emperor would even use his hot hand to warm the child's cold hand when he saw the child.

Under the leadership of the new emperor, those officials who are usually high-ranking have to join the team to distribute relief materials, and they have to personally stand on the carriage to carry the goods, or pick up and relay them to the victims below. The victims were rarely orderly and chaotic, and they lined up to receive relief supplies, which also surprised those officials.

The officials came out to work as coolies today, completely because of the holy order, and they had no choice but to accompany the emperor to meet these "Diao people". In their imagination, these victims even dared to rebel, and now they don't rush to get through when they encounter the distribution of supplies? Because everyone knows that the current disaster relief materials in the imperial court are insufficient, and the victims in the back will definitely have no share, which makes them prepare to see the new emperor's "ignorant" jokes, and send troops to suppress these victims again.

But the response of the victims clearly disappointed them.

After the incident of steamed buns falling from the sky last night, the victims of the disaster have become extremely devout followers of the new religion, which preaches solidarity and mutual assistance. It also makes them feel the warmth of the people around them. The steamed buns that fell from the sky last night are limited after all. But none of the victims ate alone. They are all distributed to the parishioners around them, and even the old, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant are preferred. Now that the disaster relief materials are distributed, they can also receive them in an orderly manner, and they will subdivide them themselves when the materials are in hand.

teachings, even in the sublimation of their personalities. This was unexpected by the imperial court.

Although the officials were aware of the horror of this religion, their emperor did not care about it, and Su Yan personally went to the victims to distribute food, and sat with them to ask about the winter. They will even set up temporary tents to settle in. Originally, the victims were scattered in several places outside the city of Chang'an, but now their rebellion failed, and the remaining victims were mainly women and children, and all of them were driven to the north side of the city, which was also prepared by the Jingzhao Mansion and the Yamen of the Six Defense Divisions, and it was convenient to place them in the north of the city and other times when they were driven out of the city. However, this open space in the north of Chang'an City is precisely the worst place in the city to keep out the cold conditions, there are no dilapidated houses around to shelter them from the wind and snow, once it snows, they can only build grass huts or sleep directly in the snow, and the hay in the city has been almost swept clean after the victims enter the city.

Snuggling up to each other in the snow and ice for the winter. It's harder than ever. At night, wanting to fall asleep is a luxury. If you do sleep, you will probably never see the next day's day.

Su Yan originally thought that even if the victims lived a hard life, they would probably be treated like the city defenders when they spent the winter in Xuzhou City. The battle in Xuzhou City was considered by Su Yan to be unprecedentedly hard, but the defenders in the city could live in houses or tents, and they also had wild vegetables to eat on weekdays. There has never been a snow disaster in Chang'an City over the years that has been so big, and the number of victims has never been so large, and the original settlement sites of several disaster victims in the city have also been demolished by the imperial court, making these victims like orphaned souls. Su Yan could still hold back his emotions and distribute food, but when he reached the worst, he couldn't help but shed tears, and even took off his luxurious thick clothes and gave them to the victims.

When the victims saw such an approachable emperor, they couldn't believe that he was the emperor, and even felt that he was one of the victims. They also did not treat Su Yan with hatred, or even gratitude. Originally, those relatives also strictly guarded to prevent some young and middle-aged victims from approaching the emperor, but later they found that even if they gave these victims a knife, they did not want to hurt the emperor.

"Immediately open the vacant government offices in the city and resettle the victims. Mobilize doctors in the city to diagnose injuries and diseases for the victims! ”

The first thing Su Yan did when he walked out of the disaster was to give this death order to Zuo Xianglanhe.

Lan He was quite surprised when he heard this order, and said in his heart that this Kai Ya received the victims, and the new emperor also opened a precedent for the Shun Dynasty to deal with disasters. On the other hand, Su Yan was explaining to the right minister Han Sheng the problem of raising disaster relief materials. Han Sheng hesitated a little and said, "On the rebel side...... said that he was willing to help the imperial court for disaster relief. ”

After Han Sheng said this, there was silence all around, and everyone was watching the emperor's reaction.

For more than a year, the Shun Dynasty has spent a huge price in order to feed them, if it is not for the army to requisition a large number of strong men, why is there no strong men in Guanzhong, and the people have failed to harvest food? Originally, after the implementation of Nanyang Gan, the assumption at that time was that there would be no disasters in Guanzhong within 30 years, but who knew that the snow disaster would come again after only one year of Lu Dao.

Originally, even if it was to let the military give some blood relief, it was a matter of course, but now the confrontation between the court and the military of the Shun Dynasty has become public, and the military is currently outside the city, enjoying the military supplies sent to the military camp from all over the country, which is equivalent to cutting off the connection between Chang'an City and other places. If this is not the case, it will not be to the point where Chang'an City is short of materials and prices are soaring. This is a question of whether the new emperor is talking about principles or interests.

"Don't worry about it yet." Su Yan thought about it for a long time before answering, "I think, we can deal with the snow disaster in Chang'an City this time. Why bother to lower your body and let the rebels look down on you? ”

He didn't say this because he was really afraid of not being looked down upon by the rebels, he was just afraid of being looked down upon by his master Liu Yu. Now that Su Yan is almost certain that Liu Yu's family has left the city and entered the rebel military headquarters, no matter whether the current military commander is Hua Ji'an or Liu Yu, it is impossible for Liu Yu to come back to help him complete the great cause of governing the country.

The emperor said so, and Han Sheng didn't force it anymore. After all, Chang'an City is the richest city in the world, and a little food from the rich households and people in the city is enough to cope with this disaster relief.

As soon as Su Yan returned to the palace, the court immediately became lively again. This time it was not for the rebels outside the city, but for the resettlement of the victims in the city.

There were many vacant offices in Chang'an City, including the opera garden built by Liu Yu. On the whole, there are as many as 50 or 60 officials who can be transferred to resettle the victims, and there are not 100 people, and almost all the victims have been resettled. Although the number of people who have been resettled on average is a bit large, after all, the victims are just asking for a tile to cover their heads and a wall to shelter from the wind. A large house can be made into a bed by laying a layer of hay on the floor.

Su Yan's idea is good, but after all, it will be difficult to manage it after the victims are dispersed. In addition, with so many mouths to eat, drink, and Lazar, when the victims leave the official office in the spring, the official office has to be renovated, which may be more expensive than spending money to help the victims build a straw hut. When Lan He put forward this meaning and reported it to the emperor, many other ministers also felt reasonable. They believed that it would be best to find a vacant land for the victims to settle in, so that it would be easier to manage and prevent them from making trouble, and at the same time, the imperial court could save a lot of expenses.

"Isn't what I said good?"

When Su Yan heard Lan He's words, his face suddenly sank and he said. The ministers of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, who had gathered in the front hall to discuss the matter, were pale, and they thought that the new emperor was only infected among the victims, so they made an empty promise for a while. Who knew that the new emperor was still serious, and he had to implement the matter.

"Since the cost of the repair officer is greater, the emperor ...... It's better to build a temporary shelter for them. Lan He added.

Su Yan glared at Lan He and asked, "Now, do we have silver?" ”

Blue and Dengshi are speechless.

Indeed, if the official office wants to be repaired and cleaned up, it will be after the beginning of spring, or it will not be repaired or cleaned up, anyway, it is a vacant official office, and the court may not be able to use it in the future. But the most difficult thing to solve now is that the imperial court has no money, and it is precisely because the imperial court is unable to resettle the victims that Su Yan will suddenly think of using the official office to resettle the victims.

Su Yan sighed and said: "I know that you officials are unwilling to mix with the people, and you think it is too cheap to disdain it, but I want to remind you that the people are also the people of the Great Shun Dynasty, if you don't handle this matter well, then my solution is very simple, which is to turn your mansion into a place for the resettlement of disaster victims." I hope that by the time it goes down at night, the victims will be able to move into the government offices! ”

The officials all looked at each other, and they had always felt that the new emperor was easy to talk and had no temper, but now they had seen the majesty of being an emperor. The power of heaven is unpredictable, and now the new emperor has acted vigorously and resolutely, giving them a death order, if the victims cannot move into the government before nightfall, they will be dismissed, and their homes will be turned into shelters, which can make these ministers have two big heads.

Seeing that it was past noon, the days were short in winter, and it was still dark for two hours, and the two hours were not only to be prepared in the government office, but also to send the victims of the disaster to the government office in batches and in order, and to settle down in turn.

"What are you doing in a daze?" Su Yan was very dissatisfied with these officials not going to do things immediately, "Do you think I am scaring you?" Hmph, if you can't finish it, you can try. ”

The newly appointed Yin Luzhong of Jingzhao Mansion had a horizontal face and said to Su Yan: "Your Majesty, this matter is too hasty and needs to be considered in the long run. ”

Su Yan glared at Lu Zhong, who was an old pedant, and said, "Someone came, took off his official hat." Since Lu Fuyin thinks that it can't be completed, let's change someone else to complete it......"

The other officials didn't expect Su Yan to be so direct, and they were surprised who the new emperor was going to replace Lu Zhong, but they didn't expect Su Yan to sigh and say: "I'm afraid this matter can't be completed by the predecessor Sui Mansion Yin." Let the official Yin of the Sui Mansion be reinstated, and let him take over this matter. ”

Lan He saw that the emperor had decided to use Liu Yu's old subordinate Sui Yi so quickly, and felt that this matter was not trivial. But now that Su Bi is not in the palace, no one can go against the will of the new emperor.

Su Yan shouted: "Don't go yet!" ”

The officials knew that the emperor was really coming, so how dare they slack off, so they hurried back and arranged it in a hurry. The Ministry of Industry is responsible for opening the site of the government office, and the household department is responsible for preparing pots and stoves to build temporary thatched houses, and requisitioning money and grain to ensure the supply of materials for the victims. On the Jingzhao Mansion side, it will be led by the newly appointed Sui Yi and will be responsible for escorting the victims into the official office. (To be continued......)
