Chapter 1076: Wanderers
After Yongqing said this, he noticed that Zhou Hao was about to give them money, and immediately nodded, "Zhou Hao, you listen to Yongqing, he is right, we must not give them things at this time, otherwise they will not even be able to return home, these people come to Lu County, and they always have to find a way to settle them, but they can't do it in this way." ”
Zhou Hao nodded, "Girl, I know, I just think that family looks too miserable, I remember the way we used to beg on the street, this God, why is this like this?" Isn't it good to have good weather every year? ”
Siqi said, "How can there be such a smooth sailing in this world, the sky is cloudy and cloudy, this is all people can't say, all we can do is to think of more ways when God is embarrassed, and go through this section smoothly." ”
Yongqing and Zhengyuan drove the carriage and took Siqi and them around the city, Siqi also had a rough idea in his heart, seeing them driving the carriage by, there were still many people who came forward to block the carriage and ask for things, there were too many people around, Siqi had no choice but to leave ruthlessly, and let Yongqing drive the carriage back home.
After going out all morning, Siqi felt very uncomfortable, and went back to the house directly.
This matter is much more serious than she imagined, these displaced people are basically from outside, because Lu County has planted new crops, the harvest is better than other places, so the people can still live a stable life, but they are not so rich.
But other people are really fatal, this year's grain production in Lu County has been greatly reduced, let alone other places.
Tiankuo hasn't come back yet, and he is probably too busy, so Siqi didn't go to the yamen to find him, so he waited at home.
It was very late, Tiankuo came back from the yamen, with a sad face, and Siqi said, "Today I asked Yongqing to take him outside for a walk, why are there so many homeless people in the city all of a sudden?" ”
Tiankuo sighed, "It's just the past few days that have poured in, and maybe there will be more after that, because of the high price of grain purchased here before, and there are still many people selling outside, this news has reached the ears of other people, of course, maybe someone is secretly releasing rumors, otherwise it wouldn't be so." ”
Whether or not someone is working hard behind the scenes, they can't care about it at this time, and the most important thing now is to settle these displaced people.
Today, Tiankuo and Wang Tianxiang discussed with Wang Tianxiang and Wang Tianlai for a whole day, and finally felt that the city gate could not be closed, otherwise the displaced people outside would keep coming, and the people who lived on the edge of the city would suffer.
But if they don't close the gates, when they enter the city, the people on the side of the city will suffer.
The yamen now has food, but it can't afford to supply so many people, so it can only set up a few porridge sheds and give regular and quantitative porridge every day, but it is not a way to go on like this, it must be done properly, if these people are allowed to go to the countryside to grab things, then it is really over.
Tiankuo let out a long sigh, "Lord Wang said, there have been homeless people in the countryside, blocking the door of the house to prevent people from coming out, if you don't give food, you won't leave, the old lady takes the child to eat, the waist can't straighten up, the child is so hungry that the yellow skin is thin, many people can't bear it, or can only give a little food, but there will only be more and more such people, how much surplus food can the people in our county have?" It's not the way to go any further. ”
Siqi said, "Can the imperial court allocate funds for disaster relief?" ”
Tiankuo nodded, "This is natural, but it will take a long time for the report to be released, and the money and food will be in place, and it will be chaotic for a while before, and now it is not okay to give them food, and it is not okay not to give them food, is this city gate closed or not?" ”
Siqi also wanted to come up with a good way immediately, but it came quickly, and she didn't know what to do for a while.
"Right now, I'm still worried about what's going on in the countryside, let's go outside tomorrow and have a look, and I'll know better."
Tiankuo nodded, "Okay, take Yongqing tomorrow, let's go to the countryside together, I also want to find out." ”
This place in Lu County is really too big, if you just sit in the yamen, it is easy to understand the situation below, and you still have to go outside from time to time to see, so that you can come up with the most suitable way.
Now the grain shop in the city is also open, but the price has risen several times, and those who have money in their hands can also buy food in the shop with the money, but you can't buy it as you like, you must ration it, otherwise the rich people will not have to empty the entire grain store?
Master Lin has not been getting better since he was sick last time, and now that he knows that the price of food has risen sharply, he is even more heartbroken, and he is even more sick.
The grain he worked so hard to buy back is now being given to those irrelevant people by the yamen for free, how can he get by in his heart?
He now hopes that Governor Zhang will really collude with the Mongolian people, and quickly let the Mongolian people enter the city to grab food, and toss the city into a mess, and the countryside is also a mess, it is better to kill more people, he doesn't believe that this little Zhixian can get rid of it, if that, he can dissipate half of his breath.
He was a little sick in a trance, and every day he had to ask the people around him, did the Mongolian people kill them in the city? The people around him didn't know what he meant, and they looked puzzled and startled.
It happened that Mrs. Lin came in, and the maid asked her, "Madam, the master is talking nonsense again, do you want the doctor to come and see it?" ”
Hearing her say this, Master Lin patted the bed board and shouted vigorously, "Why are you talking nonsense, I'm asking you, did the Mongolian people come in?" Is this county in chaos? ”
The maid was scared on the side, can you say this casually?
Mrs. Lin waved her hand, "You go out first, I'll take care of the master." ”
After calling all the people in the house out and closing the door, Mrs. Lin said, "Master, you can get better quickly, this is close to the end of the year, there are things everywhere, without you, how can those boys in the family understand?" The accounts that should be recovered have to be collected, and many payments have to be paid, and now they are all busy. ”
Master Lin didn't take this seriously, and asked her vigorously, "Did the Mongolian people come in?" I've heard you say that there's been a mess outside, could it be that someone has come in? ”
Mrs. Lin hurriedly said, "It's not the Mongolian people who came in, it's the displaced people from other places who have entered the county seat, and they are asking for food everywhere, master, you want the Mongolian people to come in so much?" If we let them into the city, will we have a good end? Those people don't blink an eye when they kill people, they are like that in their bones, they can never change, don't say such things again, master. ”
