The chief of each village did not dare to slack off, and immediately set up a household examination office, and ordered all the displaced people in the village to be questioned and handed over to the scribe to fill in. In the past few days, the Hunan people have visited the porridge factory many times, investigated the livelihood of the displaced people, responded at any time and reported the information they learned to the Ministry of Officials.

Seeing that there was nothing else on the letter, but the flight of the displaced people needed to be guarded against, he instructed Jiewen Wudao: "The Hunan people said that the city of Kaocheng is still heavily guarded, but there are still many people who have fled in other states and counties, so you should be careful." ”

Jiewen Wu looked up and down a few times, and then laughed and said: "Although the court's kindness is not good, it is still not to such a point. If the two provinces really fall into such a situation, won't the world be in chaos? This must be the words of the county officials who want to ask the court for relief silver, and deliberately deceive the Hunan people. ”

"Jiegong, you have to prepare for the worst in everything," Comrade Chen smiled, "Besides, Sixing is not so easy to be deceived. ”

"Then I'll believe you once," Jie Wenwu folded the letter, "what do you want to do?" ”

Chen Tongpao's eyes flashed with inspiration, and then asked: "If the military department mobilizes the Beijing army out of Beijing, will it be suspected by others?" ”

Jie Wenwu hurriedly smacked his lips, pondered for a moment, and then replied: "Of course, it is not okay to act without authorization, and you must be approved by the emperor; Unless...... If there are special circumstances, I can transfer it by myself. ”

"What good reason can you find today?"

Jie Wenwu stroked his beard and said slowly: "What is the name of 'anti-flow'? ”

"Tell me more about it."

"We did not report the disaster situation in the two provinces, but only said that it was difficult to harvest grain in the winter months, and the farmers were very easy to abandon the famine, so we should take precautions and send troops to guard all critical passes, maintain order, and put an end to the exile of the people."

Fellow Chen bowed his head and said: "The idea of the Ministry of Introducing Soldiers is good, and the two of us are just going to discuss with Master Liu, and make a decision as soon as possible to implement this matter." ”

After three days of hard work, the lieutenants of Kaocheng finally finished compiling the bottom book, and they came to the empty house to deliver it together according to the rules of the Hunan people, and sat down on the bench.

The Hunan people took the booklet and saw that it was divided into extremely poor, sub-poor, and slightly poor, which was in line with his initial expectations.

"With this thing, the survey will be able to proceed," he said, closing the book with satisfaction, "and the situation is not too grim because the people living in the second poverty are still in the majority." ”

"This is according to the old practice of household review, in fact, some sub-poor people will soon fall into extreme poverty because of insufficient food rations." Hong Lichang added.

"That's why we need to hurry up and don't let this list become invalid." After the Hunan people said, they turned to look at the county order, "What do you think are the shortcomings of Kaocheng's disaster relief?" ”

The county magistrate was silent and ashamed.

"The most important thing is to standardize! It's a mess now. In my opinion, it is better to give a relief ticket to the homeless people first, and then according to the booklet, how much the extremely poor will receive, and how much the sub-poor will receive, a certain rule, and become a rule. ”

"Don't blame the lack of food," the Hunan people observed the face of the county order, "No, you can borrow from the lightly affected prefectures and counties, it's better than letting the dead pile up a mountain, right?" ”

"Ah, Xia Guan understands." The prefectural order wiped the cold sweat from his head.

Under the supervision of the Hunan people, the villages began to distribute relief tickets, and the displaced people all enthusiastically received the porridge and rice, and in just one day, the tragic situation of countless deaths in the previous days was slightly reversed.

The livelihood of the displaced people was gradually guaranteed, and the county magistrate and others thought that the time was ripe, and repeatedly invited the Hunan people to speak and call on everyone to return to their hometowns. The Hunan people made an appointment with the people, and all those who had been self-reliant were sent back to their hometowns; Those who are in the prime of life and have no land can move to other provinces to reclaim the famine, while the rest of the old, weak, sick and disabled can stay in Kaocheng to recuperate.

During this political trip, nearly 10,000 displaced people left Kaocheng, and the officials of the entire county felt relieved. The county order was naturally grateful to the Hunan people, and did not hesitate to give the fifty taels of silver tickets in his private pocket as a thank you gift. The Hunan people are also interested, and they take it with a smile.

"It's really a Marquis of Lao Liang," the two of them stood at the gate of the county seat, looking at the last group of displaced people who were sent away, "If you don't stand up to clean up the mess, I'm afraid my official's head will fall to the ground." ”

"If the county magistrates are such stupid, it's no wonder that the displaced people are in trouble...... so far, the Hunan people don't bother to criticize him anymore, so they have to thank him for his kindness: "Thank you for the chief's support for a few days, otherwise why would Benhou order the gentry to be long." ”

Just as he was about to say goodbye, a servant suddenly bumped into him and interrupted the conversation: "My lord, the prefect has taken the governor's order, telling you to pay attention to the wind and grass around the county recently, and you are not allowed to let people in and out easily. ”

The county commander was originally angry, but his expression changed to surprise in an instant: "This is ...... Why? ”

"It is said that several groups of displaced people slipped out of Kaifeng, with 50,000 or 60,000 people, fled north, and no one has been captured so far."

"It's amazing, it's amazing," the county magistrate rubbed his palms, "If you run around the Jingshi, won't it cause a big disaster!" ”

Hunan people are young after all, hearing this news, there was a gurgling sound in their hearts, pinching their fingers several times, looking at the Kaocheng County Order anxiously, and their words were short: "It's okay, right?" ”

The county commander had no intention of paying attention to his expression: "It's okay, it has nothing to do with the good marquis, you take the big road, rest assured to return to Beijing, don't worry about the county." ”

"Okay, good ......" Xiang people dealt with a few words absentmindedly, but turned around and did a little calculation, but they didn't expect that it was less than three days before the ceremony.

Chen Tongpao waited for a few days in the ministry, but on the morning of the day of the ceremony, he still did not see the Hunan people returning. The servants in the palace have carried the statues of the previous emperors to the Taimiao, and the emperor is afraid that they are all wearing court clothes and yellow robes in front of the palace, and no one will show mercy to him, leaving him time to wait.

At this time, the comrades raised their eyes, and Jie Wenwu came with Liu Mian, and each saluted him and the chief Gao Jizhi.

"Gao Shangshu, the articles we are waiting for have been polished, and we will present them to Your Majesty," Liu Mian said with a smile, "You are the only one left in the sixth." ”

"The Hunan people haven't come back yet, have they?" Jie Wenwu asked on the side.

"No," Gao Jizhi replied for his comrade Chen, "That's why I'm particularly worried, some news doesn't reach the ears of the second duke, which will lead to changes in the government and the opposition." ”

Liu Mian sighed: "The displaced people in the two provinces don't know if they have settled down...... If it is revealed, decay is a great sin of deception. ”

The three of them were still dull, but the secretary of the military department took the notebook first.

"Put it there," Jie Wenwu glanced at him, "I'm going to finish discussing it with all the adults, and then take it to the Taimiao." ”

"My lord," the clerk said with a smile, "There is a new official document on it, and I don't dare to let Ye Shilang see it, so I sent it over." ”

Jie Wenwu heard what he said strangely, and hurriedly asked for it to watch, and after looking at it a few times, he was shocked into a cold sweat, and slapped his thigh: "Something is wrong!" ”
