Chapter 34: Childe and Stay (22)
At the beginning, even if I let you go, how do you know that you will be able to leave me?
The person whom he identifies must be with him even if he dies, let alone the beginning of life.
After discussing the purchase and thinking for a while, An Li decided to instruct the Ministry of Household and Industry to cooperate in the resettlement of the victims who came to Beijing, and sent three groups of people to the north. One group of people must find the princess of Beidi and escort her back to the royal court of Beidi, and the other two groups will help the northern border and carry out post-disaster reconstruction.
-
With the people arranged by the Ministry of Industry to arrange together, dozens of grass sheds were completed in two hours. The place where the refugees live has been solved, and they need to eat food and charcoal cotton quilts.
After discussion, the officials of the household department decided to distribute rice charcoal free of charge today, but starting tomorrow, those aged 18 to 40 will have to build the city wall in exchange for rice and charcoal, while women will need to sew cotton clothes, and children who are not sick will need to clean the streets of the capital. In this way, it can effectively maintain law and order inside and outside the capital, and it can also allow the people who have come to Beijing in exile to settle down temporarily in peace and stability.
The people agreed almost unanimously, and even one or two voices of opposition were spontaneously suppressed.
Although Beichen is rich, it is only rich in the south, and the people north of the capital are only barely hungry, and they can't withstand a little natural and man-made disasters. Now that the imperial court has allowed them to live temporarily outside the capital, it is too late to be grateful, how can they not be satisfied. The only prayer is that the imperial court can send people to the north as soon as possible, and now it is God's mercy that one of the people in the north can live.
When all the refugees were settled, it was dark. The snow fell in a flutter and fell on the roofs of houses and the ground that had not yet melted, and on the shoulders of pedestrians who were rushing to the night.
Yang Chenghu, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, looked up at the flickering snowflakes in the air, touched his beard worriedly, and just happened to see a young soldier who was checking the roof, and hurriedly beckoned over.
"What do you command?"
"You say, can this roof withstand the snow like the day before?"
The young man opened his mouth in surprise, hesitated for a moment, but still lowered his head and said honestly, "No." ”
"Ugh." Yang Chenghu waved his hand, "Let's go back and have a good rest tonight, I guess I will have to come to strengthen the roof tomorrow morning." ”
"Yes, sir."
Not far away, two lanterns outside the tavern glow in the dark night, as if to guide travelers home.
Yang Chenghu stroked his white beard with one hand, put the other hand behind him, and slowly paced towards the light. Behind him, the young soldier was still diligently checking the roof.
In fact, it doesn't matter who is in power? It is the best way for the people to live and work in peace and contentment.
This is also the reason why a group of old ministers like Yang Chenghu did not oppose when An Li was in charge of the government, but it was difficult for Beichen Jue to win over.
The new emperor has done nothing, and what reason do they have to support it? And the regent was not at fault, and they had no reason to oppose it. The people who are really wrong should be the first emperor and their group of old things.
The fall of the Wen family can be said to have hurt most of the vitality of the entire Beichen. Today's prosperity is nothing more than a shell.
Yang Chenghu sighed softly helplessly, but he was drowning in the wind and snow in an instant.
It's really getting colder.

"Ahh
In the wooden house on Lotus Mountain, Beichen Jue touched his nose uncomfortably, and he couldn't count how many times he sneezed in an afternoon.
"Master."
Ming Yi took the medicine and put it on the table in front of Beichen Jue with an expressionless face, "Master, it's time for you to drink the medicine." ”
??!!!
Beichen Jue glared, "Ming Yi, didn't I drink it just now?!" ”
"The doctor said that one patch of medicine is not enough, you have to drink enough three patches of medicine, and it is three patches of medicine at a time."
!!!
No, he refused!
"Where's Mingqi?"
Beichen Jue felt that he could struggle a little longer, but Ming Yi said that he couldn't do it, Ming Qi could still rebel. Phew, Mingqi is his person, and he must listen to him.
Mingqi blowing on the roof: ......
Come on, master!
Beichen Jue's dislike of drinking medicine is known to almost all the guards of the Ming generation, and serving the master to drink medicine is generally not done by Father-in-law Wen or Ming Yi. Gonggong Wen has patience, and Ming Yi and Beichen Jue grew up together, and they have been like brothers since childhood, and Beichen Jue can't refuse Ming Yi's good moves for him.
"Master, Mingqi has something to do."
Mingqi: ???
Beichen Jue: !!
"What about Miss Twilight?"
I haven't seen the two of them in an afternoon, so it's impossible for these two to go out too, right?!
"Childe and Miss Twilight are resettling displaced people on the outskirts of Beijing."
Ming Yi said concisely, picked up the medicinal soup that was about to cool down, and looked straight at Beichen Jue.
Well, at this time, there is no difference between master and servant.
Beichen Jue: Actually, I can struggle a little more, really!
Never mind......
Beichen Jue made a bitter face, pinched his nose and took the medicine bowl and hurriedly dried it. But as long as I think that there will be a bowl for a while, the whole person is not good.
Bitterly, he grabbed a few candied fruits and stuffed them into his mouth, and hurriedly asked, "What homeless people?!" ”
How did he not know that there were outcasts?
Ming Yi took the empty bowl, pursed his lips, put the son's instructions behind his ears for the time being, and told his master the details.
Then when the reaction came to take the medicine, the fire in the stove went out, and the medicine was almost cold.
Ming Yi: ......
Quickly light the fire, guard the stove directly, and wait for the medicinal soup to be boiled.
Mingqi, who had been blowing the wind on the roof for a long time: "Big brother, the master's body can't be too hard now. ”
The master was a little cold yesterday, and he burned all morning today. Mingqi felt that they should obey the orders of the prince and not report the affairs of the capital to the master for the time being.
"Mingqi, the master has the right to know about this. Also, if you go down the mountain now, you must ensure the safety of your son. ”
Mingqi: "Yes, big brother." ”
When Mingqi left, the medicinal soup was almost warm. Ming Yi hurriedly poured the medicinal soup into the soup bowl and brought it into the house.
"Master, drink the medicine."
In the house, the sleepy Beichen Jue: ......
He's already asleep, really!
-
In the backyard hut of the Twilight Tavern, the little fox snuggly nests in Wen Yan's arms, while Wen Xi and Lao Zhang are discussing the follow-up details of the resettlement of those victims outside.
"I don't know what to do with Zhang Lao's opinion?"
"The old slave thinks that the arrangement of the imperial court is already good."
As he spoke, he touched his beard and nodded.
Wen Yan smiled and touched the hair of the little girl nestled in his chest, "In this case, I don't know how many days Elder Zhang will stay in the capital?" ”
Hearing this, Lao Zhang helplessly glanced at his own young lady who was buried in Wen Yan's arms, and sighed slightly, "Naturally, it depends on what Gongzi Xie meant." ”
He can also see that his young lady is relying on this son-in-law Wen. I don't know, it's good or bad.
"Since Elder Zhang said so, then Xie also asked Elder Zhang to send someone to support the northern border immediately."
Wen Yan instantly pursed his thin lips seriously and said solemnly.
Lao Zhang pulled a beard in surprise, and his face twitched in pain. He thought he wanted him to stay and wait for the refugees outside the capital to stabilize before leaving.
Lao Zhang smiled heartily, "Yes." The old slave plans to go to the north in person, after all, the young lady also has some industry in the north, and it is estimated that she has suffered a lot of losses. After the old slave left, he hoped that the son could take good care of the young lady. ”
"Nature."
The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had reached some common agreement.
Sleeping in a daze: How do you feel like you've been sold?
Delusion, delusion for sure!
