Sure enough, after the locust attack in other villages, there was no previous posture of peace, in order to survive, there were people everywhere who grabbed food, and some lonely old people could not resist the forcible seizure of young and middle-aged people, and they could only wait for death after running out of food.

A large number of displaced people entered Xujia Village, many of them fled all the way, and most of those who survived had seen blood, and their eyes were full of obvious ruthlessness, and people were panicked everywhere.

The people in Xujia Village all had their tails between their legs, ignoring the people on the road. Just kidding, once the relief is opened for so many displaced people, it will be a bottomless pit, and their surplus food may not be able to survive by themselves, and I don't know when the imperial court will start disaster relief.

This idea lingers in everyone's hearts, and it is with this thought that people still have a glimmer of hope.

And above the court, the emperor frowned, staring at the fold in his hand. The oppressive atmosphere spread in the air, and all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at their noses and noses, for fear that the emperor would take his anger on their heads.

"In today's world, the people have no way to live, what do you think about Aiqing?" It was a long time before the emperor's voice sounded above the Golden Palace.

"This ......"

Who can go to the court, which one is not a human spirit, although the emperor is asking them on the surface, but he is afraid that he has already had an idea. In all dynasties, the solution to natural disasters was nothing more than disaster relief, but now the treasury is empty, where can the silver and grain be used to relieve the victims.

Once they open this mouth, they will inevitably have to cut the lords. The instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm makes them hesitate to step forward.

The emperor looked coldly at the gesture of everyone shirking each other, and the lines on his face became tighter and tighter, and those who knew him well knew that it was a precursor to his anger.

"Humph! The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and they couldn't even discuss a solution to natural disasters! What do I want you to do! ”

"Your Majesty is angry!"

The emperor slapped the dragon chair heavily, and his eyes showed a hint of fierceness. His Royal Highness's civil and military officials reflexively knelt on the ground, but even so, they couldn't calm his anger.

At this moment, a tall figure stepped forward, "Father, Erchen thinks that the best way is to provide disaster relief, and now that the treasury is empty, Erchen is willing to take out a million taels of silver from his own mansion for disaster relief." ”

Looking at his most important son below, the emperor's anger gradually calmed down, and his vision was really right, the prince just wanted to have both ability and political integrity, unlike the other few who were not successful.

Glancing at the second prince who was shrunk aside, the emperor hated iron but not steel. This son was born to his favorite concubine, and if he had half the strength of a prince, it was not certain who would fall on this throne in the future.

"That being the case, the matter will be left to you, old man. Second, you will assist your eldest brother from the side. I will also transfer three million taels from the private treasury to you, and from today on, the harem will reduce expenses and simplify everything. ”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

"Okay, I'm tired, retreat!"

Looking at the civil and military officials below with cold eyes, the emperor left with his sleeves. This court is full of moths, and it's time to clean it up.

The officials did not know that the emperor had a problem with them, and they complimented the crown prince one after another.

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Your Majesty has entrusted you with such an important errand, which shows that Your Majesty attaches great importance to you, if you inherit the great unification in the future, ......"

"Ministers, speak carefully."

The crown prince interrupted the ministers in a cold voice, his father was fierce, and discussing the future now would inevitably arouse the suspicion of the other party. It's a pity that although the prince wants to keep a low profile, there are always some people who don't know the times.

The second prince saw that the emperor handed over such an important errand to the crown prince, and he only got the title of assistance, and suddenly felt a little uneasy, "What does the eldest brother think in his heart, are you still afraid that others will not be able to say it?" ”

After speaking, he didn't wait for the prince to speak, and after glancing at him, he swaggered away.

The ministers who were originally around the prince suddenly scattered, as if nothing had happened, and walked in pairs.

The skill of the dragon is certainly attractive, but if they are on the wrong team, the consequences are not something they can bear.

The prince watched all this coldly, although his heart was turbulent, but he did not have a seizure in the end.

The news that the emperor ordered the crown prince to provide disaster relief soon spread, and the displaced people seemed to have found hope, and bowed again and again in the direction of the imperial city, just waiting for the silver and grain for disaster relief to come down.

"Come on, come on, all line up."

With the shouts of the officers and soldiers, the homeless people suddenly cheered and cheered up, and they were crowded for a while, if it weren't for the fact that those officers and soldiers had knives in their hands, they were afraid that they would have directly robbed them.

Looking at these yellow-skinned homeless people, a trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of the officers and soldiers, and they casually scooped porridge for each other.

"Hey, why is there so much sand and gravel in this porridge?"

"Yes, this bowl of porridge itself doesn't have a few grains of rice, and half of it is sand, but how can you eat it."

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and with the first person to speak, the people behind also complained.

When the officers and soldiers heard this, they pulled out the sabers on their waists with a bang, "Why can't you eat it?!" Don't think I don't know, you untouchables are so hungry that you even eat Guanyin soil, and now you are rewarded with porridge and drink, and you still complain?! ”

The bright blades flickered in the sunlight, and the homeless people who were still complaining were suddenly silent. Only a few surviving children cried out that they were hungry.

But as soon as they said a word, their mother covered their mouths, leaving only a pair of extremely hungry eyes, staring at the muddy porridge in the bowl in ignorance.

"You know each other." The officers and men were very satisfied with the deterrent effect they had created, and raised their chins proudly.

This scene was fully watched by Bai Jiujiu not far away, she never thought that this group of officers and soldiers eating imperial food would be so arrogant, and the homeless people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

Looking at those thin and almost out of shape, the thoughts that had been extinguished before quietly ignited again.

Bai Jiujiu returned home in a daze, and his thoughtful appearance naturally attracted Xu Huaiqing's attention.

"What's wrong? What do you think? I've called you so many times and I haven't heard you. ”

"Huh?" The clear voice pulled Bai Jiujiu's thoughts back, she pursed her lips and thought for a long time, before she seemed to have made up her mind, and said solemnly, "Huaiqing, how about we find a way to help the homeless?" ”

When she said this, Bai Jiujiu's eyes kept staring at Xu Huaiqing, although she was calm and light on the surface, but she couldn't stop beating the drum in her heart. The current food is so expensive, the idea she put forward will definitely touch the interests of the Xu family, and I don't know if Xu Huaiqing will agree.
