351 - Refugee Issues
Sitting in the backyard of the Foxconn Chamber of Commerce, under the sun, a recliner squeaked and swayed, Wang Xiaolai basking in the warm sun, and beside him, Hongxiang was sitting on a stool, carefully plucking the white hair on Wang Xiaolai's head.
"Life is only eight or nine proud, the most comfortable thing is still at noon after winter dinner, under the sun, someone can help you pluck out your white hair, pluck your ears, these two things, life is enough."
With his eyes closed, Wang Xiaolai sighed and said, and Hongxiang on the side asked with a smile: "Childe, you are wrong, it is only nine times out of ten that your life is unsatisfactory." ”
Wang Xiaolai opened his eyes, pinched it lightly on Hongxiang's face, and said with a smile: "That's someone else, son, I'm here, it's a wishful thing in life, nine times out of ten." ”
"Well, okay, by the way, Childe, don't you have to go to the palace today?"
"Don't go, I've been busy for so many days, I have to rest, besides, it's almost the New Year, it's time to prepare, you know, in my hometown, the Spring Festival is the most important day of the year."
"Childe, isn't your hometown Daxing City?" Hongxiang asked suspiciously.
Wang Xiaolai was about to say something, when he heard the voice of a parrot in his ears.
"Your Excellency, your Excellency."
Turning his head, the child was dressed in new clothes, holding a letter in his hand, and his elated appearance made Wang Xiaolai mistakenly think that this guy had won the lottery.
"Little parrot, slow down, don't fall."
Sitting up from the recliner, Wang Xiaolai said with a smile.
Obviously, the child didn't listen to Wang Xiaolai's reminder, and his speed did not slow down, and he handed the letter in his hand to Wang Xiaolai, and said, "Brother Shen has sent you a letter." ”
Wang Xiaolai was stunned: "Old Shen has a letter?" Has he arrived at the Yongliang front? It's only been more than 20 days, and he's arrived early? ”
As he spoke, he opened the letter and looked at it.
has been learning words from Hongxiang for a few months, and Wang Xiaolai can still recognize the content of the letter.
The letter is a letter of good news, but the words are a little ugly, and they are all spelled with Wang Xiaolai's handwriting.
In general, after Shen Xiping was ordered by the empress to go west, he disliked the speed along the way too slowly, led the brigade to take a shortcut and arrived at the front line about ten days in advance, when he arrived, just in time for Lu Gongyou to launch the battle of Xuanwu, Shen Xiping, who saw that there was a war, did not even hand over the task to Lu Gongyou, and directly took his 200 fighters into the battlefield, and after a battle, Shen Xiping's squad annihilated 76 enemies and captured nearly 200 people, which made a good start.
As for Lu Gongyou, he also won a big victory, using the attack on Xuanwu as an excuse to attract the defenders of Tianshui, defeated the strong with the weak, raided the Tianshui headquarters, and broke the momentum of Nurhari's horns. Subsequently, the team led by Liu Mianyi took the tip of the knife and attacked the periphery of Xuanwu, drove the remnants of Nurhari out of Xuanwu in one go, and forced them into Longyou County to defend them.
Now Lu Gongyou is ready to let all the troops of the whole army rest for a few days, wait for the cold weather, and when the next year enters spring, he will launch a general attack and pull out all the forces of Nurhari in Liangzhou.
After reading the letter, Wang Xiaolai rubbed his chin and sighed constantly: "This Lu Invincible is Lu Invincible in the end, he fought two battles in Liangzhou, and he reversed the situation, amazing, really powerful." ”
Hongxiang also read the content of the letter on the side, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Brother Shen was still as impatient as ever, and he joined the battle without even handing over His Majesty's order." ”
Wang Xiaolai put the letter away and said excitedly: "Old Shen is like that, if he still looks for Lu Hou Ye to give orders after seeing a war happen, then he is not Shen Xiping, that is what Liu Mianyi will do." ”
For Liu Mianyi, Hongxiang is not very familiar, and listening to Wang Xiaolai's words, he only blinked.
Wang Xiaolai got up from the recliner and said: "Okay, good, Lao Shen is really pure, at first I was worried about what to do if this guy lost after he went to the battlefield, not to mention anything else, it ruined the prestige of Lu Houye's victory in a hundred battles, then Your Majesty doesn't have to eat me raw, now it seems that I am too worried." ”
Hongxiang looked at Wang Xiaolai with a smile.
"Hongxiang, get ready, I'll go to the palace."
Hongxiang was stunned: "Childe, didn't you say you won't go today?" ”
Wang Xiaolai waved the letter in his hand: "It's different, there is good news, of course you have to go, otherwise how can you ask Your Majesty for merit and reward, go and prepare." ”
Hongxiang sighed, turned around, and after a while, the carriage was ready, Wang Xiaolai took Hongxiang and drove to the palace gate at noon.
After arriving at the ground, the Yulin Army guarding the door saw it, and they all raised their hands and greeted them with a smile.
Wang Xiaolai also responded one by one, and asked with a smile: "Brothers, this is my sister-in-law, it's nothing to bring into the palace, right?" ”
Those Yulin Jun shook their heads politely, and the commander guarding the door also said: "Yo, Lord Shizhong, I'm afraid this won't work, you have Your Majesty's will, you can enter and leave the palace at any time, your sister, I'm afraid you don't have this honor." ”
Hongxiang smiled understandingly: "Childe, Hongxiang is waiting for you here." ”
Wang Xiaolai looked at the freshly cleaned snow in the square, and said, "Then Nacheng, it's so cold outside, so let's do it, you go first to wait for me in the palace city building, so it's okay." ”
As soon as Hongxiang wanted to say no, Wang Xiaolai had already walked over and discussed with the Yulin Army who was guarding the door.
"Lao Li, my sister-in-law will be here with you first, she is thin-skinned, you don't want to laugh at her, you know."
The officer of the Yulin Army guarding the door sighed: "Lord Shizhong, what are you talking about, are we that kind of person." ”
Wang Xiaolai laughed and punched him in the chest: "It's your turn to rest another day, buddy invites you to drink flower wine." ”
"Cheng, my lord, you go in first, your sister is here, I don't think anyone dares to mess with her without opening their eyes."
"Then I'll go."
As he spoke, Wang Xiaolai turned around and shouted at Hongxiang.
The latter nodded and said softly, "Childe, slow down." ”
Seeing Wang Xiaolai leave, the officer of the Yulin Army guarding the door greeted him and made a gesture of invitation to Hongxiang: "Big sister, sit inside." ”
Hongxiang looked at a few people timidly and hummed softly.
Walking on the royal road of the palace, Wang Xiaolai walked left and right, not at all like the road idiot at the beginning, after all, he has been in the palace for so long, it is a wood, it can also recognize the road.
All the way to the imperial study, in the middle of the half an hour of the road, no one dared to stop him, on the contrary, more, but greeted him politely.
Seeing the door open in the imperial study from a distance, Wang Xiaolai stepped forward and reached out to clasp the door: "Is there anyone?" ”
As soon as the empress who was discussing affairs with Liu Maolin inside looked up and saw that it was Wang Xiaolai, she beckoned: "Little Laizi, why are you late today?" Come on in. ”
Wang Xiaolai smiled and thanked him, walked in and walked in, and saw a pair of folds on the empress's table, so he poked his head over curiously and looked: "Your Majesty, what are you discussing here?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just to discuss the recent issue of refugees in Yongliang and Erzhou."
Wang Xiaolai was surprised: "Why, haven't all the refugees in Yongliang been resettled?" ”
The empress said: "The resettlement is complete, and you still remember the refugee settlement I asked you to build before, right?" ”
Wang Xiaolai nodded.
The empress said: "Those houses don't know what's going on, in the snowstorm a few days ago, they collapsed a lot, and hundreds of casualties have been caused, and now, the tens of thousands of Yongliang refugees in the refugee settlement have nowhere to return, and I am having a headache about this matter." ”
"No, I remember that when I built those houses, I specially checked them, unless there is a strong wind above level ten, otherwise there is no reason to be blown down by the wind and snow."
The empress looked up and wondered, "What tenth level?" ”
"Oh no, it's just a statement. Then again, Your Majesty, where are all those refugees now? Wang Xiaolai asked.
The empress said: "I have placed them next to the Wengcheng military camp, and sent Lang Zhong to the Tai Hospital to treat them, and at the same time ordered the Wangcheng Guards to set up tents for these refugees, which should be used as a temporary shelter from the cold. ”
Wang Xiaolai nodded and said, "In this case, it's okay." ”
The empress shook her head: "Right now this is just an expedient measure, I don't know why this year, the weather is surprisingly cold, if it snows for a few more days, I'm afraid that half of these refugees won't be able to survive this winter." ”
