Chapter 309: Cold Winter

In November of the fifth year of Guanghe, heavy snowfall fell in the north of Dahan, and even Qingzhou was covered with thick snow, and it is said that even the wells in some places were blocked by ice and snow, and the serious disaster made a large number of people face the situation of freezing and starving to death.

However, the capable clans only cared about their relatives and hired farmers, and a large number of houses collapsed, and the people who had no food and clothing could only move to the towns, on the one hand, hoping that the porridge shacks provided by the government would survive, and on the other hand, it was a kind of blind obedience to the crowd.

At this time, a large number of Inhumans jumped out, they organized to recruit homeless people around their territory, but unfortunately, this kind of good thing to take advantage of is also limited, I believe that there are not many Inhuman homeless people, more homeless people continue to concentrate in the town, more than 100,000 homeless people gathered outside Beihai City in a few days, although Kong Rong has a good reputation and can raise a lot of materials, but in the face of so many homeless, he is also powerless.

At this time, a savior arrived.

Fang Zhiwen's territory is further north, and it is more affected by the snow disaster, but the snow disaster or something, in fact, is not terrible, what is terrible is that there is no ability to rebuild the disaster afterwards, Fang Zhiwen does not have many cities in his hands, the urban population is still sufficient, and there is no shortage of money, in fact, the impact of the snow disaster is not great, that is, the pasture in Fengning City has some losses, reducing the output by 50%.

When the snow disaster occurred, Fang Zhiwen almost immediately thought of the problem of Qingzhou, because most of the land in Jizhou had fallen into the hands of the Shi clan, so most of the peasants who worked on the land were hired farmers, although those of the Shi clan were greedy. But it won't be so bad that your laborers will starve to death.

But Qingzhou is different, there are a lot of homesteaders in Qingzhou, and once this snowstorm passes, these houses will collapse and there will be nowhere to stay. It is likely that a large number of displaced people will be formed, and these displaced people are the population that Fang Zhiwen needs most!

While pulling out of the gentle township of Miyun City and rushing towards Qinghekou Port, Fang Zhiwen ordered Zhou Tai, Duan Zhiran, and Chen Keng of Zhen Yao and Le Nan of Qindao to organize ships and prepare to go to Beihai and Donglai in Qingzhou for disaster relief.

At the same time, he ordered the Taiping Dao soldiers stationed in Xi'anping. On foot, they braved the snow and walked 1,500 miles from Xi'anping to Qinghekou by land, nominally under the banner of preventing the displaced people from attacking the Qinghekou port, while Zhao Yun and Tian Yu led the cavalry to land in Qingzhou by boat to help maintain law and order in Beihai and Donglai.

Fang Zhiwen rushed before the Qinghekou Port was frozen. Take a boat to Chin Island to join Zhao Yun, and then go south to Donglai together.

Fang Zhiwen and Donglai Taishou are old acquaintances, and last time he told Taishou about the construction of a seaport north of Donglai, although this Taishou was skeptical, but he also expanded the port of a small fishing village. This made the unloading efficiency of Fang Zhiwen's grain ship much higher, and he was being overwhelmed by the homeless people outside the city, for fear that he would lose his official position because of this, Taishou, who was happier than seeing his father, saw Fang Zhiwen.

After a simple consultation, this Taishou was very timid, and quickly agreed to Fang Zhiwen's plan. In order to prevent displaced people from congregating outside the city of Huang County, Lelang County has provided a cash-for-work scheme where these displaced people can travel to Lelang County with their families. For this method that can permanently eliminate the disaster, how can Donglai Taishou disagree?

With the help of more than 10,000 cavalry and navy, Fang Zhiwen organized the victims to cook porridge in batches, and after they were full, they moved the displaced people north around the harbor north of Huang County. Set up a makeshift tent and issue a mission for the Inhumans to come and transport the homeless. On the one hand, they will use food as a salary, organize the panicked homeless people, build their own temporary shelters, and be responsible for security patrols to prevent people from causing trouble.

Let Tian Yu and Zhao Yun be in charge of this part, Fang Zhiwen asked Tai Shou for Tai Shici's address, and personally took someone to Tai Shi Ci's house, Tai Shi Ci was sent to the capital to deliver documents some time ago, Fang Zhiwen was a little worried about Tai Shi Ci's mother, I heard Tai Shi Ci say that the conditions in his home are not very good, under this kind of disaster, it is very dangerous to have only one old woman at home.

Taishi Ci's house is not in Huangxian County, but in Huangchengji, which is more than ten miles away in the east of the city, when Fang Zhiwen arrived, he couldn't help but feel a little lucky, Huangchengji itself was also seriously affected, and there were not a few houses that were crushed by heavy snow, but Huangchengji was in the east of Huangxian County, but it was not harassed by the displaced people, and the villagers could be seen from a distance organizing the clearing of snow and collapsed houses.

Seeing a group of soldiers from outside the village, there was a commotion in the village, and soon several village elders accompanied by some young people greeted Fang Zhiwen.

Hearing that it was Tai Shici's friend, these people let go of their worries, if these hundreds of people were horse thieves, Huangcheng would be over.

Under the guidance of the village elder, Fang Zhiwen easily found Tai Shici's home.

It seems that Tai Shici is right, his family background is really not very good, and now this home does not seem to exist, originally a small yard, three adobe grass houses, now it has completely collapsed, according to a broken wall that has not fallen, the owner used planks and thatch, temporarily built a shack, when Fang Zhiwen arrived, the two women were looking for something to use in the ruins.

"Excuse me"

Fang Zhiwen left the soldiers in the distance, and he took Yuan Qing and Zhen Xiang forward, performed the etiquette of a junior, bowed down and asked: "May I ask if this is Tai Shi Ci Tai Shi Ziyi's home, and below is Tai Shi Ci's friend, this time I came to Huang County on business, and I came to visit by the way." ”

The two women glanced at Fang Zhiwen in surprise, and then looked at the fierce cavalry who were on guard in the distance, although the older woman looked embarrassed, her expression quickly calmed down, and she replied with a gentle smile: "The old body is Ziyi's mother, Ziyi is out of the house, since you are Ziyi's friends, you should serve tea and keep guests, but now in this situation, it is really rude 1."

"It turned out that it was the old lady in person, and the little nephew Fang Yuan Zhiwen gave the old lady a salute 1

"Don't be polite, the old body doesn't dare to be."

"Old lady, I hit it off with Ziyi at first sight, like brothers, and I should be courteous to my sons and nephews. Please don't blame the old lady. ”

Fang Zhiwen looks familiar, and Fang Zhiwen is originally kind and kind-looking, so he is naturally easy to be accepted, and the old lady is not a peasant woman who doesn't know anything, and she can also see Fang Zhiwen's reality from Fang Zhiwen's eyes. Besides, Fang Zhiwen's posture is obviously an official body, and she can't easily offend before she figures it out.

Fang Zhiwen beckoned. Let Yuanqing step forward and said in a low voice: "Let them come over, clean up here, and prepare hot tea to eat." ”

"No1

Fang Zhiwen could see from the faces of the two women, one old and one young, that the two women were now cold and hungry, so they immediately asked people to prepare food and drink.

A group of soldiers, accustomed to living in the wilderness, neatly cleaned up a clearing in the original yard. Put a few small maza, set up a fire in the middle, hang the copper kettle for boiling water, and then bake the meat dough on an iron net on the fire.

Fang Zhiwen enthusiastically helped the old lady to sit on the pony, as for the young woman. Fang Zhiwen wasn't sure if it was Tai Shici's wife or someone else, since the old lady didn't introduce it, Fang Zhiwen didn't want to ask, just smiled and motioned for her to come up to the fire together.

The two women watched with some amazement as the soldiers got everything in order, sitting on the strange mazar, the heat from the fire. Gradually, dispelling the chill on their bodies, Fang Zhiwen personally handed the hot tea to the hands of the two women, and explained with a smile.

"My brothers are veterans who have fought outside Cyprus for several years. This wild way of life is naturally very familiar, which makes the old lady smile. ”

"Little brother, isn't it Lord Feng Ning Taishou Fang Zhiwen Fang?" The old lady's eyes lit up, as if she remembered something.

"The old lady doesn't need to be polite, just call me Zhiwen, but don't say anything about adults, how can I see Ziyi in the future?" Fang Zhiwen said with a smile. While handing the fragrant meatloaf to the woman.

"Old lady, you will tell you while eating, in fact, this snow disaster. From the northernmost Mobei to the south of Qingzhou, the scope of influence is very large, but Fengning County and other places are fully prepared, so the disaster is not serious, the little nephew and Donglai Taishou and Wenju brother have the old, and the little nephew still has a city on Qin Island, now Qingzhou is seriously affected, and the government is unable to rescue, so the little nephew came this time to assist in disaster relief. ”

The old lady was also not polite, eating the cake in her hand while drinking hot tea to dispel the cold that penetrated into the bone marrow, while the other young woman was eating the meatloaf with a little shy bite, and her curious eyes swept over Fang Zhiwen's body from time to time.

"The little nephew learned from Donglai Taishou that Ziyi had gone to the capital on a business trip, as a nephew should have come to visit the old lady, and now after the snow disaster, I am afraid that there will be no one to take care of the family, so the little nephew arranged for his subordinates to settle the victims in Huang County, and he came to give the old lady a gift, and fortunately, otherwise the old lady would know about this situation, and Ziyi is afraid that he will not be at ease."

Mrs. Taishi then understood that this person who regarded himself as a son and nephew was indeed Fang Yuanfang Zhiwen, who was famous all over the world, and she couldn't help but feel a little proud in her heart, this celebrity was commensurate with her son and brother, and naturally valued her son, how could a mother not be happy, she was happy, and her attitude towards Fang Zhiwen was naturally different.

"I see, the old body doesn't know that this snow disaster is so serious, but I heard that there are victims gathered outside Huang County, Fang Xian's nephew and Dade will definitely be rewarded."

"Hehe, the old lady praised it falsely, now there are nearly 60,000 disaster victims gathered outside Huang County, and there are more than 100,000 disaster victims outside the city of Pingshou in Beihai and Linzi in Qi State, and the little nephew is not a place to use a lot of money and food, but the little nephew's territory lacks population, so this is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone."

Mrs. Taishi is a learned person, the Taishi family is a declining official family, Fang Zhiwen's plan cannot be concealed in front of Mrs. Taishi at all, and Fang Zhiwen does not bother to deceive an old woman, so he is completely telling the truth.

The wrinkles on Mrs. Taishi's face bloomed, she laughed, and nodded: "This is also a good thing, at least those displaced people have a way to live, and the virtuous nephew should do his best." ”

"It is the duty of the officials to be taught, to give the people a way to live and a way to progress, and the little nephew does not dare not do it."! ~!
