It is only a city gate, but it seems to divide the heavens and the earth into two worlds.

Inside the city gate, singing and dancing are leveled, the people live and work in peace and contentment, although they sweep the snow in front of the door, they are in good order, and they are decent, and the sons and brothers in the city even drink and talk happily.

And outside the city gate, covered with white snow, the snow was full of marks one foot deep and one foot shallow, the people's hair and eyebrows were dyed with hoarfrost, some were dressed in torn cloth jackets, the cold wind was bitter, just one glance, it was a chill to the bone.

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road

"The gates are open, look, the gates are open!"

Seeing that the city gate was slightly open, the approaching refugees couldn't help shouting excitedly, and suddenly everyone flocked to it, and the cries of children and the sound of staggering old people walking in the snow poured into Gu Wanchao's ears.

"Your honor, go back first."

Seeing this scene, the soldiers guarding the door stood their spears sideways, trying to block the refugees, and turned back to comfort Gu Wanchao and the others.

"Your honor, please save my child."

When a woman saw the soldier's intentions, she immediately rushed forward and knelt down to Gu Wanchao and begged bitterly.

It was a baby of about a few months, held in the arms of the woman, although it was swaddled and wrapped, but the naked eye could see that the fabric could not withstand the wind and snow, not to mention that the baby's face was frozen and bruised.

Gu Wanchao and the eldest lady glanced at each other, although they had pity, it was not easy to open the head of the rescue into the city, otherwise it would make the other people resentful, and there was more than this baby among the refugees.

At present, there is no countermeasure for refugees in the court, even if you enter the city, you are afraid that there is nowhere to go, not to mention that the doctor in the city has already been sent to help the refugees, and due to the limited manpower, one person has been used as eight people, I am afraid that I have long run out of energy.

"Everyone listen to me" Gu Wanchao was afraid that everyone would not be able to hear clearly, so he simply took down the small stool on the carriage and stood on it, so as to attract everyone's attention.

"Your Excellency is deliberating on where you are going, and I believe that a decision will be made soon, so please wait a little longer." After a pause, the weather was so cold that a word could freeze people's teeth.

"I have sent people to buy grain, and every day at noon at the gate of the city to distribute grain and deliver porridge, praying that I will survive the natural disaster with you." As he spoke, he took off the big hat on his body and put it on the baby.

"Don't worry, the imperial court will not let it go, I'm afraid that the countermeasures have already been discussed at this time."

Gu Wanchao got up after doing these and was about to say some exciting words, but as if he was guided, he saw that there seemed to be a familiar face in the crowd, and when he wanted to take a closer look, the person had already noticed its gaze, glanced down and quickly turned around.

is so familiar, she seems to have seen this man beside Li Jue, but why is he mixed in with refugees, he still looks like a thief, and covers his mouth and nose with his sleeves.

From the moment he saw the man, Gu Wanchao was uneasy in his heart, and always felt that he had missed any detail, but he didn't find anything abnormal after careful review, could it be that he was wrong?

Here, Gu Wanchao and the eldest lady returned to the city, thinking about how to do something for the refugees, but now that the snow is closing the mountains, the cost of income is insufficient, and the surplus food is difficult to support such a large number of refugees.

On the other hand, a new round of verbal warfare has also started in the court.

The courtiers were at war with each other, but they did not propose a constructive method, but they just kicked the ball back and forth, which caused the emperor a headache.

"Shut up, I really regard my court as the West Market, and there is no use in arguing around, so use this mouth to help me solve problems and protect the health of the people?"

The so-called anger of the Son of Heaven, millions of corpses were ambushed, thousands of miles of blood were shed, and the ministers were silent, and they did not dare to speak out.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if it's feasible."

The long-term silence was broken by Xiao Yu'an, and everyone looked at their noses, noses, mouths, mouths, and hearts, all of whom heard the voice.

"Say."

Before the catastrophe, the emperor also stopped playing Tai Chi with his courtiers, hoping to truly solve the problem in front of him.

"The people were displaced, and there were nearly 10,000 people piled up at the gate of the city, lacking food and clothing, and it would be difficult to survive for half a month without a house.

"What do you think?"

The emperor's mood has reversed, at least it sounds much more reliable, and he has a high look at Xiao Yu'an, a new kid who has entered the court, but he is worthy of being the Xiao family.

"The minister seconded the proposal."

Although Gu Fu'an is seriously ill, he does not dare to delay such matters related to people's livelihood and social welfare, and it is also a reminder to those who have wolf ambitions that he Gu Fu'an is still alive and well.

After speaking, the ministers knelt down and played together, agreeing with Xiao Yu'an's point of view.

Seeing the emperor nodding, Xiao Lao's eyes rolled, and he bowed forward and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Gu had experience in disaster relief in the early years, so it is better for Lord Gu to be fully responsible for it this time." ”

After thinking for a while, the emperor said: "It's okay, Gu Aiqing is full of experience, and he will definitely be able to implement this matter, and the heavy responsibility of resettling the displaced people will fall on your shoulders." ”

At the same time, the emperor did not forget to ask Gu Erye to assist Gu Shi'an from the side, which seemed to be assisting, but it was actually surveillance.

After retreating from the court, the news spread quickly, and soon reached Gu Wanchao's ears, Gu traitor's body was inconvenient, and this time it should be Gu Erye as the backbone.

Thinking about the man in the morning, he always felt that something was happening, so he mentioned it to Gu Er Ye when he returned, natural disasters can still be dealt with by all means, but if there are secret characters involved, things may change.

Gu Erye is shrewd, although he doesn't know the specific reason, he also takes this matter to heart, this girl in the evening is right, people's hearts are the most difficult to prevent, and there is nothing wrong with taking precautions.

In the blink of an eye, half a moon has passed, and the snow is still falling sparsely, and if it is a cold and windy weather, even if you hold a hand warmer, it will not help.

Gu Wanchao couldn't help much in building the shelter, but these days she bought all the food she could receive, put food and porridge for the homeless people on time every day, and when there were not enough people, she went into battle herself, and her hands gradually developed frostbite.

During the construction of the shelter, displaced people have been arranged to move in in batches, and now it is also in good order and small scale.

The displaced people have relevant officials to carry out unified management, and there are no incidents, and there are special personnel to distribute food every day, although it is not a delicacies from the mountains and seas, but it can still be satisfied.

When the body recovers, the snow is lighter, and there are already strong men who have gone to the city or the surrounding areas to work, and they have found something to do.

Everything is developing in a good direction, but Gu Wanchao looked at the snow under his feet, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger, as if this was just the quiet and peaceful before the wind and rain were coming, and he always felt that something big was going to happen.

Sure enough, another half a month will pass, and just when everyone relaxed their vigilance, thinking that this catastrophe could be safely passed, and they would be able to rebuild their homes and return to their homeland in the spring of next year, and there would be no need to be displaced again, the uneasiness in Gu Wanchao's heart finally came.
