Chapter 362: Haining's Disaster

Solving the problem of disaster relief silver, the emperor did not stay in Jiangning Mansion, and took Yingyun straight to Haining County. Although they had been mentally prepared before, they were still shocked by the devastation the moment they stepped into the county.

The emperor deliberately got out of the carriage and walked on foot through the streets of the city, where collapsed houses could be seen everywhere. The wood has been soaked by the tide and smells of decay, and a second collapse may occur at any time.

This is still the scene after local officials cleaned up the streets, and it is conceivable that Haining County will be in a mess in the first few months.

The emperor settled Yingyun in the corner garden, and rushed to the river embankment all the time to inspect the restoration project.

Fortunately, the location of the corner garden is high, and the house is not obviously damaged, otherwise it would have been in vain to repair the garden.

Anai finished packing her bags and sighed: "Niangniang, I came all the way just now, and the slaves saw that those victims were very pitiful. The minions have saved some silver in the past few years and want to donate it to them. ”

As he spoke, Anai took a bag of broken silver wrapped in a silk handkerchief and handed it to Yingyun.

Yupo and others followed suit and took out all their private secrets.

Ying Yun shirked and said: "Your income is meager, follow me, and you usually don't get any rewards, so you can keep these yourself." I heard that there is a porridge shed outside the city, let's go and take a look tomorrow, and help a little if we can, and you all have done your part. ”

Anai and the others insisted on Yingyun accepting it, and said: "The minions eat and live in the palace, and there are not many places to use silver, so you can take it first, and when the disaster passes, you can reward the minions." ”

Yingyun smiled and said, "Okay, when you return to the palace, I will give you a heavy reward." ”

Anai and the others smiled: "Queen Xie." "Search

The next day, Yingyun led them to the outside of the city to take a look, the porridge shed was placed in the suburbs, two meals a day in the morning and evening, the victims lined up, winding and long, and there was no end in sight.

As soon as Yingyun walked to the porridge shed, the soldiers who gave porridge knelt down to ask for peace, and several victims near the porridge shed also shouted one after another: "Thank you Queen Niang." ”

Yingyun took the pot and spoon, personally applied porridge to them, and looked at the pot of hot white rice porridge, which was very thick, but it was not mixed with too much water.

However, seeing is not necessarily believing, Yingyun knows the routines of officialdom very well, and now I am afraid that she is coming, and she has done enough faΓ§ade work. Perhaps, when she turns to leave, will they change their faces?

Thinking about it, Yingyun quietly instructed Wushun to disguise himself as a refugee and secretly inquire about the situation.

After a process, at dusk, Yingyun returned to the corner garden.

It wasn't until it was dark that Wushun came back in a hurry.

Ying Yun asked, "Can you find out anything?" ”

Wushun replied: "The minions were mixed in the refugee pile and listened to some information. It is said that the porridge shack is still able to wrap its stomach twice a day, but the houses in the city are destroyed, and most of them sleep in the wilderness, and people freeze to death every day. ”

Yingyun sighed: "It will take time to rebuild the house, and there are not so many places in the city to accommodate refugees, which is indeed a thorny problem. ”

The corners of Wushun's eyes were slightly raised, and he said hesitantly: "Niangniang, the slave also heard about one thing, some refugees complained that Haining County ordered to build the river embankment, but secretly used all the good work and materials in front of his house, and some people said that he was a corrupt official, greedy for the silver to repair the embankment. ”
