Chapter 48: Surprise

The woman asked by Sizhen, Qi Niangzi, was in the imperial study, telling the situation of the flood in Fulin Zhili in detail. [No pop-ups. ] to the power of the literature network

“…… The countryside has become a country, villages and towns have sunk to the bottom, fields have been flooded, the streets and alleys have overflowed, and houses have collapsed...... The people have been displaced and suffering...... Because the imperial court's disaster relief money has not been sent to their hands for a long time, the victims have no choice but to flee, and even worse, gather together for theft...... Because there was no news of several letters, and I didn't know who had committed it, one night there was a fire in the house...... Helplessly, my family asked the women to enter Beijing. ”

Qi Niangzi's voice was sad: "Along the way, there was starvation all over the wilderness, and those children were picked up by the women along the way, and their families, some were swept away by the flood, some were starved to death, and some were infected with the epidemic after the flood...... Thanks to them, those who stopped the women took it lightly, and the women had to arrive in the capital. But when I arrived in the capital, the palace was not something that could be entered casually...... Later, the women inquired that the emperor would sometimes go to the Treasure Pavilion...... So I waited there......"

If it weren't for those people who thought that Qi Niangzi was entering Beijing alone, only staring at the single woman, ignoring Qi Niangzi with a few children, that letter, I don't know if it can be delivered to me, and I don't know how long it will be hidden......

As Qi Niangzi spoke, Fu Lin's eyes became brighter and brighter, his slender eyes were almost narrowed into a line, his thick black eyebrows were wrinkled, and even his plump and ruddy lips were bitten out of a few tooth marks by himself.

His hand clenched into a fist and slammed heavily on the imperial case: "Dog minion, dog minion, such a big thing, they dare to hide it from me, I want to kill them all!" ”

At this time, Shuo Sai has regained his calm, in fact, as long as it is not related to Yilan, Shuo Sai has always been extremely calm.

He reminded Fulin softly: "Your Majesty, the law does not blame the public, there are too many people involved in this matter, and the court is in ruins. In the opinion of the ministers, some people, at the beginning of the flood, did not mean to hide it, just because the water conservancy project was not good, they were afraid that they would be involved, and there would be relevant responsibilities, but later, they were powerless to return to the sky......

Fu Lin gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, according to what the fifth brother said, I will deal with the current situation first, disaster relief is important, and when this matter settles down, I will settle accounts with them one by one." We are in the Qing Dynasty, when we entered the customs, we received a mess of drought locusts and locusts for many years, and it was easy to live a good life of good weather for a few years, and the people's livelihood saw the recovery and development, why did they encounter such a big flood?!"

He said with some melancholy: "I still remember that the year before last, Yao Wenran once said: 'Zhili and Henan are ripe this year, and the price of wheat is cheap, but the southeast suffers from no rice, and the northwest does not suffer from no grain', why is there no harvest!' ”

Shuo Sai knew that he, the ninth brother, was a man of temperament, not only sensitive and amorous, but also because he was a sister-in-law since he was a child, he was the center of everyone's attention, and he had a competitive character and a natural sense of superiority.

He didn't express an opinion on this matter, but just asked Fu Lin: "Right now, what does the emperor plan to do?" ”

After all, Fu Lin was raised by the emperor, and he knew that this was not the time to only care about his personal emotions, so he settled down and calmed down: "This matter, in fact, as Master Jiang said, is both a crisis and an opportunity in the Qing Dynasty, and if it is not properly handled, it will inevitably cause famine, provoke civil uprisings, and shake the foundation of our Qing Dynasty's rule that has not yet been solid; However, if it is dealt with properly, it can greatly contribute to the stability of the imperial court and bring the people of the world to their hearts...... Fifth brother, we have to think of a proper way to appease the people, lest this matter drag on for a long time and provoke the people to revolt......"

The next thing is not what Qi Niangzi should listen to, Fu Lin glanced at Wu Liangfu: "First settle Qi Niangzi to go down to rest and rest, and after I agree with the ministers, I will discuss the reward for meritorious deeds." ”

He gently said to Qi Niangzi: "You can stay in the palace first, Lord Jiang has meritorious service in the imperial court, I will treat him well, from now on, I will send someone to take him into Beijing, and when he arrives in the capital, I will let people send you out of the palace, so that those people will not secretly poison you...... You are in the palace, just live in peace. ”

As if thinking of something, Fu Lin said to Wu Liangfu: "Send Qi Niangzi to Hanzhang Palace, please take care of Ah Zhen more...... The more he said, the more Fu Lin felt that his idea was good, and he was a little happy when he thought that Si Zhen might be able to learn swordsmanship from Qi Niangzi.

In this way, Ah Zhen, who has already learned Mama Qin's skills, can also go further.

Qi Niangzi knelt down and thanked him: "The women obey the emperor's arrangement, but the children have been taken care of by the women, and the emperor is also asked to find someone to go to the Guanghua Temple in Shichahai to tell them, go to the Guanghua Temple, find the master of Fa Neng, you can know their whereabouts, the women made an appointment with the children before, and met in the Guanghua Temple afterwards." ”

Fu Lin nodded: "Don't worry, I will arrange for people to go out of the palace and find those children, and they must be properly arranged." ”

After Qi Niangzi left with the palace maid arranged by Wu Liangfu, Fu Lin commanded Wu Liangfu, who was standing on the side: "Quickly pass on the sonny, Aobai, Kubilong, Suke Saha, Erke Daiqing, Karatu, Fan Wencheng, Kadahong, Ning Wanme, and Ai Xinga to enter the palace and discuss the affairs of the Heart Palace. ”

From the moment Wu Liangfu had the heart to block the sword for Fu Lin, Fu Lin relied even more on himself, the chief eunuch.

When Wu Liangfu went out to arrange for people to invite all the adults, Fu Lin's eyes fell on the letter on the imperial case again.

In February of the ninth year, the east flow was large, the lake was out, and the river was high. In March, the Yellow River in Qidong was decided. In May, Linqing, Pingding, Leping, Shouyang, Wuding, Shanghe, and Leling were flooded, and many villages were flooded. In June, Leping, Yueyang, Pingyang, Ronghe, Shouguang, Changle, Anqiu, Gaoyuan Dashui. In July, floods in Mengyin, Qinzhou, Longxi, Wucheng, Zhongxiang and Kaiping harmed crops. In August, Puning and Tongxiang flooded......

In Wuqiang County, "Tianheju was floated, Xiaomin Qiucheng was desperate, and every family cried more than once".

Nanhe County, "the water depth of the flat land is seven feet, the chonglu drifts, the field seedlings are gone, the west is hopeless, and there is a period to be killed".

Guangzong County, "Zhangfu two rivers, surging overflowing, Peng Pai cross-flowing...... Dozens of villages such as the county's governance of the south of the county and the three weeks of Hemiao villages were wiped out...... The houses in the closed compartment have been completely washed away, and the thatched trees are knotted, and I can't bear to see and hear them."

Yanshan County, "Lewd rain from the sky...... The four wild crops are exhausted to pay the whale wave, and there is no money to make a living, and the battle of the nest is still miserable."

Feixiang County, "the lewd rain is abnormal, the Zhangshui is overflowing, the flat land is surplus, the summer wheat and autumn crops are drowned, the houses of the houses are collapsed, and the small people are crying hungry and can't bear to see and hear......

After the letter, there is also a letter used by the governor of Shuntian: Ji (ji) Fu (near the national capital) area, "from midsummer to Mengqiu, the obscene rain continues, day and night, the high-level people are difficult to use, the grass is growing with the grass seedlings, the low-lying ones are all submerged, and the mulberry fields and the sea flow together......"

Although the imperial court has also received a lot of twists and turns about the flood before, and has formulated corresponding disaster relief measures, but connecting these things together, coupled with the fact that the disaster relief silver and the two officials were greedy for ink layer by layer, this letter made Fu Lin look at it and feel particularly shocked.

He closed his eyes, clenched his fist lightly, struck the letter twice, and then smiled bitterly at Shuo Sai: "I remember that last year alone, because of the flood in Zhili, I divided the fields of 42 prefectures and counties such as Juān and Fengrun into two counties, so it seems that it is not enough......

With the deliberation of the ministers of the Yangxin Palace, the flood-stricken prefectures and counties that were divided into three times to remove the fields were extended to the three prefectures of Shunde, Guangping, and Daimyo.

Tongmi, Yongping, Yizhou, Jingcheng, Changping, Bazhou, Tianjin, Jizhou and other "Zhili Eight Prefectures" took the lead in exempting the field tax, and then, Cheng'an, Dongming and other places were also reduced or exempted by the imperial court, not only that, in addition, some of the fields that were washed by water and sand pressure were also changed in terms of tax rules, so as to avoid the suffering of grain compensation after the disaster.

In addition to tax reductions and exemptions, the imperial court also provided relief to the hungry through three main aspects: porridge, silver and cloth, and strictly ordered the prefectures and counties from top to bottom, the government and the people to work together to relieve the local hungry, so that they would not be displaced and leave their homes.

They also resettled the displaced people, repatriated them to their hometowns, or given land and shelter, and adopted such means as supporting themselves, or entering the fields on behalf of tenants, or willing to work as a cantonment household, to appease the people's hearts to the greatest extent.

At the same time, in order to ensure that the disaster relief can be ordered, the imperial court has formulated corresponding reward and punishment measures, although these norms cannot be fully complied with, but they have played a certain role in supervising the relief officials, which is conducive to the smooth and orderly development of the relief work.

Due to the appropriate measures and timely disaster relief, the Shunzhi Dynasty finally survived the test of the heavy floods in the Zhili area around ten years ago.

This is the first time that Fu Lin faced such a large-scale and large-scale natural disaster after the pro-government, so he was mature and wise, through this flood, he sorted out the administrative efficiency of the Qing court, in March of that year, he adopted the advice of Wei Xiangshu in the affairs of the bureaucracy, the implementation of the Jingcha "big plan", the general assessment of officials in various places.

In this "grand plan" of the Beijing Inspection, a total of 969 officials were dismissed, demoted, and dismissed.

Since then, the three-year plan has become a system of the Qing court.

At the time of the disaster relief and relief of the former dynasty to appease the people, the harem was also busy with this matter.

At the suggestion of the Queen Mother, the concubines of the harem began to contribute to disaster relief.

Some concubines, like Concubine Duanshun, figured out their intentions, and also chose their own jewelry that did not have an internal imprint, and donated it.

In July, the imperial court issued an edict from the empress dowager to the 80,000 taels of silver saved by the inner court to help the victims of the flood.

Queen Meng Guqing, but because she said in the disaster relief in the back court, "I want to save from the woman's expenses, what kind of ability is this!" Angered Fulin, the matter of abolishing the queen was once again put on the agenda by him.
