Chapter 140: No Way
Although he had long known the reason for the relocation of the families of this group of victims, when he heard Chu Xuan relay these words, Gu Qinghuan's heart still jumped.
"What do they say?"
It was not Gu Qinghuan who asked, but Yan Jin.
Chu Xuan told her that she was here before, and then Gu Qinghuan came, and she didn't know what was going on.
"They said that after the second prince went to Qujiang, he did take a lot of silver to relieve the disaster, give them food and drink, and did not let them starve to death."
Chu Xuan said: "It's just that rebuilding the home is not a matter of one or two days, how can the house be built so quickly?" Qujiang flooded this time, and it was not one or two families that were drowned! In order to rebuild the houses of so many families, it is necessary to find new land and move materials to start construction...... But this early spring is cold, there is no house to live in, and the temporary place is also leaking everywhere, and many people almost can't get through it! ”
"Slowly, a house was built, but problems arose."
Chu Xuan said: "The newly built house is far from enough, more people can't get the house, according to this progress, if you want to get a house, it's also next year!" But it's only early spring, and this year there are summer, autumn and winter...... Especially in winter, who can survive without a house? These people had no choice, so they went to the government and said that as long as they gave money, they would build their own houses. ”
Most of the time, the manpower of the government is insufficient, and many things are divided into money and land, and the people are left to take care of the rest of the matter.
"Government ...... That is, the second prince's side, and he quickly agreed. ”
Chu Xuan's words changed: "However, the second prince only gave some people silver, because he was afraid that some people would be dishonest and squander the silver indiscriminately, and after they had no money, they complained that the government did not help them...... When I mentioned this, there was an old man, both fifty years old, older than my father, who cried as he spoke. ”
He said that these people, who have been farming in Qujiang for generations, have honestly not made any mistakes, how can they spend the government's money indiscriminately? The words of the second prince are too prickly to their hearts! Chu Xuan bit her lip, thinking of the old man with tears, she couldn't bear it.
Yan Jin also frowned: "No matter what, the second prince should not say this, although there are treacherous and cunning people among the people, but most of them are diligent and diligent in this life, they have never been traitors and criminals, and they live honestly, but the second prince said this, but they were beaten to death with a stick, and it was not good to replace it with anyone!" ”
When Gu Qinghuan heard this, he was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "But there was still an accident, right?" ”
She looked at Chu Xuan.
Yan Jin was stunned for a moment, and when he saw that Gu Qinghuan's expression was wrong, he couldn't help but look at Chu Xuan.
“…… Be. ”
Chu Xuan nodded with a heavy face, "The first batch of people who took the silver, there were about fifty households, and most of them were dizzy or what, some people took the silver and spent it indiscriminately, and some people left Qujiang with the silver...... The most excessive one is the head of a family, his mother, daughter-in-law, and daughter all rely on him to live alone, but after he took the money from the government, he actually left home overnight with the money! Leaving a family of women and crying at the gate of the government, saying that they can't even live their lives! ”
When Yan Jin heard this, he was shocked: "How come?!" ”
This is also so abnormal!
"It's true." Chu Xuan said, "There is also a widow who disappeared with the man who ran away with the money, and it is rumored that they have hooked up together a long time ago, this time I took the money from the government for disaster relief, and I am ready to flee to other places to live a happy life, instead of staying in Qujiang to take care of a large family......"
"This kind of man is too irresponsible! Beasts are not as good as beasts! ”
Yan Jin said: "Isn't this forcing his mother, daughter-in-law and daughter to die?" ”
The government's disaster relief is mostly according to the person's money, and the man took all the money away, and also stole the money of other people in the family, cutting off the way of life for those people!
"Hey......"
Chu Xuan sighed lightly: "I couldn't believe it at the time, the person who told me about this was also full of complicated faces, they all said that the man usually looks honest, and he is also filial to the old mother at home, loves his daughter-in-law, and even the money-losing girl who is disliked in the village, he is also very precious, how do you know that people know their faces and don't know their hearts......
"Smack!"
Before Chu Xuan finished speaking, a strange noise interrupted her words.
She and Yan Jin subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound and found that it was Gu Qinghuan who accidentally swept the teacup on the table and fell to the ground.
I saw Gu Qinghuan's expression frozen, indescribably cold.
"Qinghuan, what's wrong with you?" Yan Jin subconsciously pulled Gu Qinghuan's hand, "Hurt?" ”
Gu Qinghuan shook his head, "No." ”
Yan Jin saw that her expression was wrong, thinking that Gu Qinghuan was resentful of the ruthless man, so he didn't say anything, but just called the maid to clean up the broken porcelain in the house.
When the maid left, there were only three of them left in the house, and Chu Xuan picked up the topic just now.
"After that, the government stopped its plan to give money to the people, and was determined to keep the money in the public house and let the people of the government build houses."
Chu Xuan sighed: "Even if there are people who volunteer, as long as the government pays them, they can build a house, but they are also rejected by the government." ”
Yan Jin frowned: "This is too extreme, these people just get some wages every month, but they have been doing things, how can they cut off the way of life for these people because of those who took the money and ran away before?" ”
"But there is a reason on the part of the government, what can the people do?"
Chu Xuan shook his head, since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials.
What's more, it's still a group of honest croppers?
So, according to the past, the government slowly built houses, they lived in temporary shelters, and ate the government's relief food, so they could go on...... In fact, you can make do with it, but you can't go on, and you really can't get by. ”
Chu Xuan said: "There is not even a place to live, the newly divided fields are to be cleared, and there will definitely be no harvest this year, so that most of the people who rely on farming to eat have no source of income, and it is a problem to survive the winter, who can still hold up to the government to divide the house?" ”
"Hey......"
Yan Jin sighed lightly, "If the second prince didn't do anything, he was too wronged by him, he did appease the victims and do things for them, but what did he do...... It's hard to put into words. ”
The two princes did these things, and they can't be faulted in writing, but they can be put on the field to understand how bad the second prince is.
"Therefore, many people decided to move their families to the imperial capital because they couldn't live anymore, and they felt that at least at the foot of the imperial city, the saint would leave a way for them to live."
Chu Xuan said in a heavy tone: "These Qujiang victims who came to the imperial capital are really not what they wear in the imperial capital, and they don't know how to leave their hometowns, there is really no way......
