Chapter 403: Responsibility
King Qin sent Li Xia back to Yongningbo's Mansion and returned to King Qin's Mansion, and the letters that Kexi and Chunshan inquired about were all sent in. When the king of Qin got out of the car, he ordered the prince to come to the study to talk.
Jin Shuyan entered the upper room, King Qin had just cleaned his hands and face, was changing his clothes, and motioned for the number of the long case to be copied, "This is the number of soup kitchens in each porridge shed, I just asked someone to copy it, you can take a look first." ”
Jin Zhuoyan took the fold, opened it and closed it, "I also have it there, and I was about to discuss it with you." ”
"Well," King Qin changed his clothes and instructed Kexi, "You tell the prince about it." ”
Kexi agreed, turned to Jin Cunyan, bowed slightly and said: "Just now the little one accompanied the prince to see the porridge sheds everywhere, at the gate of the Baoci'en Temple, the prince instructed the small one to follow a few people who did not enter the temple or enter the shacks on both sides, the small one picked people to follow seven people, and then picked people to follow nine, the first seven, there were three, not far away, they came together, it was a family, the door should be a medium family, the gate was not closed, the square table was placed under the tree in the yard, there were a few small dishes, there was an old lady at home, a middle-aged woman, The five men divided two pots of porridge and the other pot and put it on the ground to feed the chickens. ”
Before he finished speaking, Jin Zhuoyan's face began to turn blue.
"For the rest, there are two families that are similar, one seems to be richer, and has the smell of broth, and two are slightly worse, one has a sick family, like the mother of the porridge leader, who is about twelve or thirteen years old, and is a boy, and the other family, the porridge leader is only seven or eight years old, and the family has a mother and a brother, and the younger brother is nursing in his mother's arms.
After the gratifying report, he lowered his hand and retreated.
King Qin clicked on the copy, "The number on it, the second meal is thirty percent more than the first one, and by the third meal, it has skyrocketed by fifty percent, and there are about 200,000 people at noon today, how many people are there in the entire capital?" The amount of porridge in each porridge shed is very large, and if it continues to be given in this way, will the silver grain be enough? ”
The embarrassment on Jin Shuyan's face couldn't be dissolved, and he stood up, "I was negligent, I saw all these numbers, and I was about to come to the prince to discuss and discuss, the rice beans in each porridge shed ......"
"It's all high-grade japonica rice, high-grade red beans, just now in the second gate, I asked a few stewards, my house, low-grade miscellaneous servants, eat third-class japonica rice. This is indeed your lack of thought, no wonder these people in the market, if you want to say that the disaster, it is indeed the disaster of the family, right? You sat down and talked, you didn't expect, I wasn't negligent too? ”
"Yes, all the rice beans have to be replaced." Jin Shuyan fell on such a big heel for the first time, and sat on the chair, his face full of embarrassment.
"I've been serving porridge for a day or two, and then replace it...... This time, you have to think carefully, take out the red beans at night, you ask Bai Qiao, and then ask the household department, the various grain depots inside and outside the capital, how much grain can still be eaten after soaking in water, and how much old grain will be replaced this year, buy it at the price, and send those high-quality japonica rice and red beans to Hegong and other places. ”
King Qin had already sorted out his thoughts on the road, Jin Shuyan nodded while listening, he thought the same way.
"I remember what Huang Qingquan said last time, Hegong and the Imperial City Division, and the Environmental Sanitation Department are in urgent need of manpower, so let him draw some servants, beat the gong to various porridge sheds to recruit people, and must say a few more words, from the next meal, such good porridge and good rice will be gone, let everyone hurry up and pick a job."
"Okay." Jin Zhuoyan breathed a sigh of relief, so it was so abrupt, alas, it should have been cooked porridge from the beginning.
"After a while, I will ask the housekeeper to find some work to recruit people in various porridge sheds, Huang Qingquan uses all men, and I will arrange some work that women and even young and old can do." After a moment of silence, King Qin smiled bitterly: "In the past, Mr. said that Xiao Ci is a thief of great mercy, and we didn't do this ......"
The latter words, King Qin didn't say it, Axia could do it.
"I was careless." Jin Cunyan was full of guilt, "In our house, we will also recruit some people, regardless of anyone, just give them a chance to support themselves." ”
"Also," King Qin's gaze gradually became distant and cold, "Disaster relief, life-saving only, Chen Liang is not allowed to eat the sick, and there are ......" King Qin paused for a while, his voice fell low and cold, "Mili is slightly mixed with some sand and gravel into it, this porridge is for life, and it is eaten on the spot, and it is not allowed to be taken away." Let them not want to come to eat this bowl of porridge if they have any way to live, and give it for a few days to see how many people can be left. ”
Jin Zhuoyan looked at King Qin with a little stunned, this was definitely not what he meant, the coldness and meanness in these words were the same as Guo Sheng...... It's not Guo Sheng, it's Axia.
Thinking of Ah Xia, Jin Zhuoyan was stunned, he kept thinking about where that vitality was, could it be in this coldness?
How did Guo Sheng kill Yi Xin, Bai Qiao and he deduced a few times, no matter how he deduced, Yi Xin threw out the child, Guo Sheng must not have answered, not only did he not answer, but he was not moved by it at all, this ruthlessness and coldness, he asked himself countless times, he couldn't do it, Bai Qiao vaguely said that he might be able to do it...... He felt that he couldn't do it either.
Ah Feng said that Guo Sheng said that Jiu Niangzi is a great compassion......
How much heart does he need to endure and ruthlessly do in the middle of what he does? Like the child who was thrown out......
"Humble words?" King Qin looked at Jin Cunyan, who was stunned, and raised his voice slightly and shouted, "Scared you?" ”
"Why!" Jin Cunyan replied quickly, looked at King Qin, hesitated for a moment, and still asked in a low voice, "Is it Axia's suggestion?" ”
King Qin's eyelids drooped slightly, he didn't answer, he exchanged it for a good one, and mixed sand in the porridge was such a bad thing in the eyes of the world, even if he said to Jin Clumsy, he was unwilling to pull out Axia, which should be his responsibility.
"This is great mercy, I'll go now, it's not our family's business, it's best to call everyone over and discuss it together, I'll go." Jin Shuyan didn't ask any more questions, stood up and said.
King Qin got up, sent it to the door of the house, watched Jin Zhuoyan stride out of the weeping flower door, and was stunned for a long time before slowly pacing back.
Relief of seven or eight people, the staff member of the Jiang Mansion is still Jin Cunyan nodded and praised everything, the three princes looked at each other, but they were unwilling, let alone dare to express their position, Huang Fu Yin has experienced I don't know how many times, and he knows the tricks and drawbacks, he just doesn't want to bear this infamy, and he can't make a mistake.
Bai Qiao was extremely smart, and when Jin Huyan read the halfway point of the number of soup kitchens, he understood.
In a quarter of an hour, the charter was agreed.
Bai Qiao moved very quickly, and when he came out, he hurriedly ordered to quickly check the large and small grain depots under his jurisdiction, and before the household department had a letter, the soaked grain and old grain on his side had already begun to be transported to the city.
This is a big deal, the Jiang Mansion staff dispersed, so he hurriedly went to find Jiang Yanshi, Jiang Yanshi listened attentively to the report of the staff, and without waiting for the staff to finish speaking, he raised his eyebrows, that prince still has such a responsibility? So what did you do in the first place? Why didn't you remember it until now?
Jiang Yanshi was only half disdainful, and then his eyebrows dissipated, and he didn't expect it.
He also received a share of this errand, and sent more than a day of high-quality rice and bean porridge, and then replaced it with old grain and rotten porridge, then this good deed, turning his hands can become an evil thing that can set off countless storms, it is really a good opportunity, but unfortunately he is also in it, and he approves of it...... If he doesn't approve, the prince threw the pot of soup porridge to him, but he can't afford it, and he can't disapprove.
Even so, his responsibility is very rare.
Jiang Yanshi stood in front of the window, looking at the flowers and trees outside the window without focus, for a long time, he sighed lowly, forget it, the emperor is in full bloom, and he can't see each other in life and death at this time, like Ming Shangshu, the knife was pulled too early, and in the eyes of the emperor, it was suicide.
Let's have a show, after all, it's also my own messenger.
"Go and talk to the chief steward, just say my words, let him find something to live, each porridge shed, go twice a day, recruit some people who do chores, find some work for them to do, or find a place for them to contribute."
Jiang Yanshi called Maple Leaf and instructed, Maple Leaf agreed, and just about to go out, Jiang Yanshi added, "Go and say hello to the old lady first." “
Maple Leaf replied, took a few steps back, and hurriedly went out to spread the word.
Huang Fu Yin moved the fastest, dispersed, and immediately arranged for the capable government officials and clerks to go to each porridge shed to knock on the gong, and posted a notice of recruiting people from Zhang He, the Imperial City Division and so on.
Not long after the steward of the Qin Palace, he also took the servants to recruit people from one porridge shed to another, regardless of men and women, the Changsha Wangfu followed closely, and the Jiang family was a little late, followed by the Lu family, the Ruan family, the Yongning Bofu and other families, all sent the stewards and servants, and beat the gong to recruit people from one porridge shed to another.
In the evening, the high-quality japonica rice and red bean porridge were replaced with soaked old grain porridge, Bai Qiao dispatched some imperial city soldiers, and put two or three in each porridge shed, staring at them, but if there were complaints, they stepped forward to measure and question, why don't you go to work to earn stuttering, this work is everywhere.
Qin Wang Jin Humble Yan Bai Qiao and others, including Jiang Yanshi, quietly took a car to see the porridge shed one by one, and finally it was safe and sound, and the others were okay, Huangfu Yin let out a long sigh of relief, and recited the Buddha I don't know how many times.
A few days later, when the porridge in the porridge shed was replaced with all the old grain and sand, the last group of people who wanted to survive also followed the servants who recruited people, and those who stayed were almost all poor people who were orphaned, disabled, old and young, and almost unable to take care of themselves, and the number was very small.
