Chapter 102: Disaster Relief
This is a very mysterious thing, who can think of it? It's not someone who crossed over like Xu Xi.
"Actually, there is nothing to say about the past." Xu Xi said again, "After all, those are some black history, and it's just adding some unhappy things." I just want to tell you that I don't belong to any camp, I don't belong to anyone's subordinates, I'm not an undercover agent or a spy, I'm just me. ”
No matter what her identity was before, whether it was straightforward or undercover, it wasn't her Xu Xi, but now, she was just her, that's all!
"I believe in you." Pei Huai said softly.
Xu Xi looked up at Pei Huai, his eyes were facing each other, but then he looked at each other and smiled.
It seems that at this moment, there is already something around them that is slowly heating up.
There is also a tacit understanding called tacit understanding, which is gradually forming, but more of it, it seems to be the feeling of sympathy.
Perhaps, in this life, she is destined to be entangled with him; Perhaps, in this life, she came just to meet him; Perhaps, the purpose of her coming here is just to let her know that in fact, there is still a kind of trust circulating between people.
It's like she and him!
"What's going on up there?"
In such a wilderness, there seems to be a lot of people in front of it, but I don't know what the specific situation is, so Pei Huai asked out loud.
As soon as Pei Huai's words came out, Nie Chenghui also hurriedly called a person behind him and asked him to drive over to see what was going on in front of him.
And when the person who went to see what happened came back, he immediately reported to Pei Huaiyu: "Master, the people in front of me are all homeless people, all of them are villagers who came out of Xinghua County not far ahead, and they have no food to eat in this year's drought, so now they are going to escape the famine." ”
As soon as these words came out, Pei Huai couldn't help but look at the front, there were really a lot of people.
So, he also asked: "Didn't this court allocate food for disaster relief?" ”
It stands to reason that since this year is a drought year, it should be the imperial court that should have countermeasures.
How can people leave their homes to escape the famine?
"This ......" He couldn't answer this question, after all, this matter has not been investigated clearly, and no one knows.
And since it caused so many people to leave their homes, it is enough to prove one thing, that is, the food of the imperial court has not reached their hands.
As for whether the imperial court knows whether the emperor has ordered to open a warehouse to release grain to help the people, or has it been monopolized by some corrupt officials, this is what they don't know.
"Let's investigate." Pei Huai said lightly.
"Yes."
"After three years of flooding, it's the turn of the drought at this time." Won't it be another three years? Pei Huai couldn't help but sigh and said.
In the past few years, there seems to be a feeling of many disasters, either a big flood or a big drought, and the grain in the ground is also not harvested, which makes Pei Huai can't help but think.
Is his choice wrong, so this is also the disadvantage of the Yan Kingdom?
"Three years of continuous flooding?" Xu Xi heard Pei Huai say this, and asked out loud.
"No, since the current emperor took the throne, there has not been a year spent peacefully." Pei Huai nodded and replied.
It's as if he deliberately went against him, for this point, it makes Pei Huai a little helpless and speechless, but what can he do?
Then it's just a matter of what happens, and try to think of countermeasures.
Hearing this, Xu Xi touched his nose silently and didn't say anything more. It seems that His Majesty the Emperor is not good for the passing years, and it is declining, and it is still driving the decline of the whole country.
What can Xu Xi say about this kind of thing? It's not like you want to replace this emperor and try again, right?
When Pei Huai calculated what might happen in the future, he had already calculated a bad result, and now if something happens again, I don't know if Pei Huai has the urge to replace the emperor?
After all, now, the military strength of the entire country is in Pei Huai's hands, and probably only the little force guarding the palace is wholeheartedly obeying the words of the current emperor, right?
After all, Pei Huai was also on horseback back and guarded the country of Northern Yan on the battlefield.
His direct subordinates are also in this military camp, and the Pei family army is even more powerful and eager.
It's easy not to come out, but once it does, few people can match it.
Therefore, in this army, Pei Huai's reputation is very high, otherwise, how could they want to get rid of Pei Huai, but they are still so jealous of him?
You must know that among the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, except for the military generals, no one is on Pei Huai's side, but there are no Pei Huai's people in this civil and military officials, but it does not mean that among the six departments, there is no Pei Huai is a person.
On the contrary, how big Pei Huai's power is, only Pei Huai himself is the clearest.
Other people only know one thing, but they don't know the other.
And Pei Huai has never really shown it comprehensively, otherwise, how could Pei Huai really be so hand-eyed, and no one can match him?
There is only one person in this Yan country who can have the ability and dare to shout with Pei Huai. That is Sima Yi, who was always angry with him back then.
"So what now? Waiting for these homeless people to pass first? Xu Xi looked at a lot of people in front of him, and then also looked at the mighty team behind them, and couldn't help asking.
In fact, the meaning of this is already very obvious, that is, I want to ask Pei Huai what he wants to do with these grains rewarded by the emperor?
If it is in the past now, it will be difficult to suffer from the food grabbing by these displaced people, you know, compared to fear and death, if there is no food to eat, it will be sooner or later to die.
If this is the case, then it is natural that they will fight hard, even if it is to die.
It's a crazy thing that a hungry person does.
What's more, they have a hundred loads of grain here, and walking through these homeless groups with so much food is like walking by the wolves with a flock of sheep, can it really guarantee that those people will not bite these sheep? It's a matter of no guidelines.
After all, these things are all gifts from the emperor!
"What do you think?" Pei Huai actually had a decision in his heart, but he still asked rhetorically.
Xu Xi smiled and said, "Isn't the National Teacher already having a decision in his heart?" Since the decision has been made, let's do it like that, I have a vote in favor. ”
After all, these people are so pitiful, since they have met, then they can help if they can.
Besides, as the protector of the country, it is naturally impossible for him to stand idly by, otherwise, how can he win the hearts of the people?
How can we support this Yan country? How can we achieve these four words with a clear conscience?
Therefore, Xu Xi agrees with Pei Huai's approach.
Pei Huai smiled, and said to Nie Chenghui: "You take a few people and send out all this grain and gold." ”
"Master, this is all a gift." Nie Chenghui said.
"It is precisely because these are all royal gifts that it is even more important to disperse. First, these things have been given to the National Teacher by the Emperor today, so this is the National Teacher's things, how he wants to eat these grains, and using these grains is also the matter of the National Teacher; Second, this is also a reflection of the love for the people of the National Teacher.
Third, by the way, to promote the good fortune of the current emperor, it can be regarded as letting these people know that the current emperor is not letting them go. If you do these three things, there will be no problem. ”
Xu Xi heard Nie Chenghui say that, and also said, in short, it will definitely not be wrong to do this, this is also to promote the emperor's good reputation and help him win the hearts of the people, isn't it?
If you have to punish you like this, then it's really a bit too much.
Pei Huai didn't add anything to Xu Xi's words, because what Xu Xi said was very correct, just do it like that, and at this moment Nie Chenghui also understood what Xu Xi's words meant.
So he also nodded and responded: "Okay, I know what to do." ”
So he took a few people and asked the guards with small boxes and food in the back to walk towards the group of displaced people.
When they appeared, the entire group of displaced people was a little overwhelmed, after all, a lot of soldiers suddenly appeared, and they didn't know why, so they were naturally afraid.
"There's food."
"It's food.....
Many people saw the hundred loads of grain with sharp eyes, and suddenly these people were a little commotion, if it weren't for the fear of these officers and soldiers, they would have already rushed up to grab these grains, but now, they still need to be a little more reserved.
After all, if you go up to grab food, you may be killed, but this is a choice between food and life and death, so you naturally have to think about it.
However, before they could make a decision to act or not, Nie Chenghui asked them to put down the hundred loads of food.
Then he also turned over and dismounted, and said to these homeless people: "Everyone stop first, don't go any further, listen to me, and don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have, to grab this grain, because this grain is here to distribute it to everyone." ”
"Really?"
"Real or fake?"
"But those grains are real."
"Can you really get food?"
Hearing Nie Chenghui's words, all the people had already stopped and started to discuss, looking at the grain, they were also a little drooling.
