Chapter 15 Disaster Relief

In the empty courtyard, Li Yong was rocking the rocking chair while fanning the wind on the rocking chair to enjoy the afternoon moment.

"A cup of tea and snacks would be perfect."

"Childe, we have arranged for people to continue to buy grain, we currently have about 50,000 stone of grain, but ......"

"But what?"

"But we don't have enough money, Her Royal Highness Princess Chang'an is also buying, and now it's only enough to buy 10,000 stones."

Li Yong squinted his eyes and didn't look at Gundam's black face, it has been almost half a month since Li Lizhen left to return to Chang'an, judging from the situation from Chunlan today, Emperor Li Er and the imperial court don't attach much importance to this matter, there are still three months to the autumn harvest, when the locust plague comes, it will be no harvest, what kind of purgatory on earth will it be? In this era, there are few varieties of grain, and the output is also small, Li Yong can foresee that miserable picture, Yi Zi and Shi have only seen it in the history books, and now I see it with my own eyes, Li Yong's heart is unspeakably blocked and uncomfortable, Gao Da also saw Li Yong's unhappy face, so he didn't dare to say any more, just stood aside silently, waiting for his next instruction.

"That's it, we've done our best to get people to stop buying grain, what's going on over there?"

"The workshop has been built in Xishan according to the requirements of the child, and the manpower is enough, all of them are the victims who escaped from the surrounding areas, and all of them have settled in the princess's mansion under the princess, and her royal highness the princess has transferred some craftsmen from Chang'an, and there are also a lot of craftsmen with good craftsmanship around the local area, and the wages are paid according to the child's set."

Li Yong closed his eyes again, thinking about the possible changes in the next response, because in his previous life, he participated in many projects, and knew that even the perfect plan would be caught off guard by the accident caused by sudden changes, and Li Yong did not like to be a person who resigned himself to fate.

"Speed up the construction of the workshop, and tomorrow I will pick a few loyal people to go to the laboratory in the back mountain, and I will teach them how to make soap and soap, I hope to help more people."

"Command!"

Gundam left the courtyard after saluting Li Yong, and Li Yong waited for Gundam to leave, opened his eyes and stood up and returned to the thatched hut.

Half a month ago, Li Lizhen learned the news of the locust plague from Li Yong, and rushed back to Chang'an non-stop to find the left-behind prime minister Fang Xuanling, and informed the news, Fang Xuanling heard the news and almost fell off the stool in the office in fright, looking at Li Lizhen with a look of disbelief, he knew that Li Lizhen was not like other princes and princesses to do this sensationalizing thing, not to mention the locust plague, Li Lizhen had already thought of a set of rhetoric when she returned to Chang'an, and talked to Fang Xuanling about the reasons and signs of the locust plague. Fang Xuanling thought about Li Liqian's evidence and didn't dare to be careless, but Emperor Li Er was not in the palace at this time, Fang Xuanling did not hesitate to write a note, and explained the signs of the locust plague on the book, so he asked someone to send it to Emperor Li Er, Li Lizhen left Fang Xuanling's duty room and returned to his palace, Chunlan arranged people to buy food in Chang'an City, and a huge disaster relief was about to kick off, which was also Li Yong's first handwriting.

"Do you remember the process? If any of you dare to divulge the secret recipe of the adult, be careful with the knife in someone's hand. ”

"Don't dare, the adults are kind enough to take me in, give us a place to live, and pay us to do it, this is what we didn't dare to think about before, if anyone here spoils the adult's business, the little old man will put his words here, and he will be pulled out and killed if he fights for his life."

"Yes, I will never betray my lord."

Gundam looked at Li Yong with a mask, and felt that the person in front of him did not look like he was only twelve years old, but felt more like those old foxes in the court, and even more cunning than those old foxes, just this simple and ordinary thing that was not noticed by people, in his hands turned into such a magical thing, Li Yong waved his hand and said in a hoarse voice.

"I don't need you to work hard, I just want you to remember your original intention, the same is the end of the world, I just can help, you don't have to be grateful to me."

A colleague fell to the end of the world, said the voice of everyone present, wiped their tears, yes, they are all hard-working people, or God, they don't have to leave their hometown, almost starve to death, if it weren't for Li Yong's appearance, these people would already be a pile of white bones, their parents died of famine back then, they survived by gnawing tree bark, and finally joined Li Er's army, Gao looked at Li Yong with feeling, respected this twelve-year-old boy from the heart, and made a ninety-degree gift to Li Yong from the heart, Li Yong looked at Gundam's big salute to himself, and shook his head, because he knew that Gundam must also be a man with a story, and a thousand words are not as good as actual actions, which is Li Yong's consistent criterion, Li Yong turned around and left the laboratory in the back mountain, because of the later things, Gundam knew what to do, and he didn't need to repeat it, so he didn't need to repeat it, so he didn't trust his subordinates, as a qualified leader, he had to learn to delegate power.

"Okay, everyone, remember what I said today, the specific things, the adults have already said, the production of soap and soap is carried out according to the arrangements of the adults, you have arranged for trustworthy and loyal people to enter the workshop, one person is responsible for a process, and the same is true for the workers, do you understand?"

Several down-and-out victims nodded their heads one after another, during this time, according to Li Yong's instructions, Gouda continued to take in the displaced people who emerged in Chang'an, and now the number has reached as high as a thousand, and the number is still increasing, so that the pressure of Li Yong and Gouda has increased dramatically, these displaced people are hundreds of miles away from Chang'an City, indicating that the locust plague is faster and more serious than imagined, fortunately, Li Yong has modern experience in disaster relief, otherwise according to the ancient disaster relief process, it is estimated that it would have collapsed long ago. In addition to the factor of greed for corrupt officials and corrupt officials, disaster relief in ancient times was unreasonable, under the new rules formulated by Li Yong, not only did the victims not complain, but received better assistance in an orderly manner, which made the five bodies admired by Gao Da fall to the ground.

There are already a lot of victims in Chang'an Township, how can there be fewer victims who flock to Chang'an City, this matter makes Fang Xuanling's mouth blister, half a month ago, Princess Changle has told him to let him play the emperor, but this song has gone around and returned to his hand and it is written-Separately, if Li Yong sees it, he may turn the table directly, and now the emperor is still outside to inspect the armaments, and he doesn't care or think about the seriousness of the disaster, and now Emperor Li Er wants to defeat the Turks who brought him shame, Fang Xuanling can't sit still in the house at all, Walking back and forth, anxious and sweating.

"Report, the number of victims in Simon is almost more than 1,000."

"Check again, isn't there any news from the saint?"

"I don't, sir."

"Stand down."

Fang Xuanling sat on the stool as if all his strength had been drained, frowning and thinking of a way, in the Zuo Wuwei military camp a hundred miles away, Emperor Li Er inspected the armament under the leadership of Qin Qiong, the general of Zuo Wuwei, looking at the trained sergeants, Li Er's vanity was simply bursting, Qin Qiong and other generals were all smiling, and the satisfaction of the leaders was the recognition of their work, just when everyone was happy, a discordant voice ran over with people from far to near.

"Newspaper~"

"Bold, I don't know that the saint is here, you dare to rush into the holy car, come and drag it out and cut it."

Qin Qiong stared angrily at the sergeant who came to report, everything was so harmonious and beautiful, but it was broken by this little sergeant, and it was fake to say that it was not fire.

"Uncle Bao, what are you doing, the sergeant's emergency report must have an urgent military situation, don't delay the military situation."

"The minister is guilty, don't hurry up and say it."

Although Qin Qiong said that he had cut down the sergeant who reported the news in a panic, everyone knew that he was Qin Shubao's famous calf protector.

"It's the great general, and the people in the house are in an emergency, and if they see the saint, they will tell them that the south and west gates outside the city have been plagued by locust plagues, and there are more than thousands of victims."

"What?"

Emperor Li Er was frightened by this news, and Fang Xuanling did report the locust plague for half a month, but the news reported by the Baiqi Division was that Princess Changle heard others say in the fiefdom, and the eldest grandson Wuji also said that the matter was not as serious as Fang Xuanling said, but now thousands of victims have besieged Chang'an City.

"Drive back to the palace."

Emperor Li Er hurriedly returned to the palace with his civil and military officials.

"Smack~"

A book of music was thrown by the angry Emperor Li Er to the feet of several ministers standing below, plus a broken teacup of Xingyao, the eldest grandson Wuji, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng, Li Jing, and Cheng Yanjin all lowered their heads and counted ants on the ground, Fang Xuanling said in his heart, I told you, you don't believe it, who is to blame, now it is to blame me, Fang Xuanling complained about Emperor Li Er in his heart, but he also raised his head to play to Emperor Li Er.

"Sage, the locust plague has been completed, please give an order for disaster relief."

Fang Xuanling said that he stepped back, and at this time, the thousand-year-old Yin man Sun Wuji stood up against Fang Xuanling, after all, the twist was in order to curry favor with Emperor Li Er, so that Li Er should not believe in the seriousness of the disaster, but now this disaster is even more serious than the compromise, and he will make excuses for himself, and then he will be passive.

"No, the disaster situation is still unclear now, and people will be panicked if they rashly make an order, so it is better to send someone to find out the situation of the locust plague first."

After the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, Cheng was about to explode when he bit the gold, and said with a humming voice to Emperor Li Er.

"Shit, so many people outside the city gate are coming out of the soil? Check it, what is there to check, and when it comes, everyone is dead. ”

"Cheng Zhijie ......"

Li Er was already upset by this disaster, and his ministers either kicked balls with each other or shrews scolded the street, "pop~" One historical relic after another was gone, Cheng Biting Jin saw Li Er calling his name directly, knowing that he was already very dissatisfied and losing his temper, he quickly shut up and stood aside and stared at Changsun Wuji, who ignored his murderous eyes, Li Er rubbed his temples and told them all to retreat, and after the ministers retreated, they were dressed in a graceful and luxurious red phoenix robe, wearing a phoenix stick and a golden step, Shake it out three times in one step, and come in with this food box in your hand.

"Saint, why are you angry?"

The eunuchs and palace maids in the Xiande Hall really cleaned up the teacups that were thrown on the ground, and when they saw the eldest grandson queen coming in, they hurriedly saluted her, and the eldest grandson queen waved to everyone and said.

"Let's all go down."

"Yes!"

The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace left the Xiande Hall in an orderly manner, leaving only Emperor Li Er and Empress Changsun.

"The saint is tired, isn't he? The concubine boiled some lotus seed soup, you taste it. ”

"It's still Guanyin who knows me."

Li Er took the lotus seed soup handed by Empress Changsun and ate it, but he still thought about the disaster and those victims in his heart, and the eldest grandson Wujian also saw that Li Er was thoughtful, after all, she had been married for many years, and she knew very well what Li Er was thinking, but she was very smart and didn't mention anything, this is the wisdom of the eternal sages.

"Lined up."

"Whoever does not obey the rules set by the adults will be expelled."

"You, let me see you drinking raw water again and expel you, and you."

Outside the city of Changle Township, four greenhouses sat in front of many victims, and four lines lined up by the victims listened to the arrangement of Gao Gao and his men in an orderly manner.

"Everyone, listen, these are all from Her Royal Highness the Queen and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess paid out of their own pockets for disaster relief for everyone, and the relief of the imperial court will start immediately, so everyone must listen carefully, no matter where you come from, you must obey the arrangement when you get here, and if you don't obey the arrangement, you will be expelled immediately, do you understand?"

"Certainly, Her Royal Highness Queen Xie and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

"Okay, arrange one person from each household to get an ID card from me, fill in your family information, including what you will do, etc., and then arrange a job for you."

All the victims don't understand what ID card they have, and what family information they fill in, but they can eat without starving to death, and let them do whatever they want, Gouda has learned Li Yong's system in the previous batches of victims, that is, they can no longer think of the unconditional disaster relief like the imperial court in the past, so not only the imperial court has spent countless money and food, not to mention, the disaster victims will not be grateful to them, because in their minds we are hungry, you have to support me unconditionally, this is the hooligan idea that Li Yong said, Gouda extremely agreed with Li Yong's point of view, Therefore, it is very serious to register information for the victims and arrange work, which is Li Yong's proposal to work for relief, young and skilled victims can go to Li Yong's workshop to work, or can go to the blacksmith's workshop, carpenter workshop, etc., in exchange for food, women, children and the elderly can help with laundry and cooking, which is more orderly than the helpless Chang'an City, Changle Township is more orderly, and Li Yong's workshop has increased countless young and strong population, compared to the victims who are still waiting under Chang'an City, there are clean tent living areas, Although the clothes were tattered, they looked clean under the soap, and everyone had a hopeful smile.
