Chapter 144: Prosperity, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer!
The palace of Nan'an County was removed from the domain, and the Huo family was full of canals filled in by Jia Cong. The news soon spread all over the world, and Lingnan immediately became chaotic.
On the first day of the opening of the imperial court in the fourth year of Yuan You, the emperor ordered the first-class Bo Niu Jizong of Zhenguo to lead 40,000 elite camps to the south.
Almost every family in the Wuxun family in Beijing went to the Zhenguo Mansion with gifts, wanting their cubs to follow the old cow to Lingnan to make contributions.
"It's ridiculous, these people really think that everyone is my second brother? Teacher, look at it, this Liu family even stuffed Liu Xianghui and other wastes who lived in the Qinglou into the barracks, and they were really not afraid of dying on the battlefield in Lingnan!"
On the first day of printing, Jia Cong came to the gate of the Metropolitan Inspection Institute early in the morning. After going to the Dragon Guards to ask for the materials of the relevant case, the master and apprentice were escorted by a team of Dragon Guards, and the carriage drove leisurely towards Wanping County, southeast of the capital.
Xu Jin Youyou said, "It is your second brother's performance that is so eye-catching, and these people also want to imitate your second brother's path to success. It's a pity, in their hearts, your second brother is still the noble brother of the mansion who has to Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and they never thought that the former second master Lian was also the heir of the Rongguo Mansion who practiced bows and swords!"
Crunch crunch......
The wheels were rolling against the thick snow on the road, and the rut marks were slowly elongated.
Xu Jin lifted the curtain, and the cold wind immediately blew in through the car window, and Jia Cong shivered involuntarily.
"Look there!"
Jia Cong looked in the direction of Xu Jin's finger, and saw that on the edge of the city not far ahead, a circle of grass houses had been built, and under the snow, there was cooking smoke rising.
"Who can see the white bones under the snow covering the dirt of the world?"
"Teacher's ......"
Xu Jin was silent for a long time, and then said a series of figures: "The number of people affected by the disaster reported by Wanping County a year ago was as high as 1,422 households, totaling 7,841 households. Look at this circle of thatched huts at the gate of the city, is it enough to live?"
"How is that possible? How many people are there in Wanping County? How can there be so many victims?"
In the prefectures and counties of Gyeonggi, Jia Cong still knows something.
Wanping County is the south gate of the capital, there are many businessmen, and the people's livelihood economy has always been good. But according to his memory, when Wanping County was in the 48th year of Zhaowu, there were only more than 60,000 people.
How is it possible that a snow disaster has affected one-eighth of the county's total population? Chinese Net
But I heard Xu Jin say: "This is reported by the government, and there are many people who are not registered at all, and the investigation of the Dragon Guard, at least more than 20,000 people have a difficult life, and they have to go to Wanping County or Zuojin County to survive......
"Didn't the household department allocate enough food and cloth to save the people, did anyone dare to covet ink at the feet of the Son of Heaven?"
Jia Cong really can't imagine that the Son of Heaven is personally in charge of disaster relief, and under the watchful eye of the Dragon Guard, there will be people who dare to take the risk of raiding their families and exterminating their families to greed for disaster relief food.
The carriage has stopped at the north gate of Wanping County, and there are ten huge iron pots and ten huge wooden barrels at the gate of the city, constantly boiling gruel, and in front of the steaming disaster relief porridge, there is a long queue, and the victims in ragged clothes are holding clay pots and boxes in their hands, stretching their necks to look at the steaming place......
"Ding Ding Ding ......"
The iron pieces tied to the trees were struck, and the hungry victims seemed to have become accustomed to the rhythm of soup kitchens, and suddenly became excited and involuntarily squeezed forward.
saw a middle-aged man dressed in the costume of a servant suddenly pulled out the long knife at his waist and slashed at the tree next to him.
Click!
Sawdust flew everywhere, and some even flew into the pot.
"It's all quiet~"
"Squeeze further, today's porridge will be halved!"
"Anyone who doesn't listen to a certain family will be sent to Xishan to dig coal for a month!"
With the deterrent words of the middle-aged officer, the crowd was really quiet, and they waited for the meal one by one according to the rules.
The porridge is quite thick, and each person has a steaming thick noodle steamed bun. It seems that the household department also knows that the emperor who has just been in power this time wants to take this
The disaster relief efforts won the hearts of the people, and they did not dare to make any mistakes on the food issue.
"Brother Cong, can you see what's so special about this group of victims?"
Jia Cong shook his head, he really couldn't see anything special about this group of victims, the same ragged clothes, yellow faces and thin muscles, no different from what was recorded in the book.
As for the image of disaster victims in film and television dramas in the previous life...... Forget it, which disaster victim has a red-faced, white-faced, and delicate face!
I only heard Xu Jin Youyou say two words: "Age!"
Rumble!
I see!
In order to confirm what he thought, Jia Cong directly lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage and walked towards the soup kitchen. Jia Shiyi hurriedly followed, for fear that something would happen to the little master.
"Who?"
The officials who originally maintained order still wanted to stop the approaching of the visitors, but they saw that they were dressed luxuriously, with a golden crown and jade belt, a brocade coat and a coat, and a token on his waist Panlong looked angry and shining with golden light.
"Rongguo Mansion is doing business, retreat!"
Jia Shiyi retreated from the yastocratic gang, and Jia Cong had already approached the victims who were queuing up to receive porridge.
The elderly, children, men and women who are visibly ill and infirm......
It's strange that there are only a small number of young men and young women, and it's not surprising!
Jia Cong already had a rough answer in his heart, he looked at the pair of childish eyes hiding behind the old man and secretly looking at him, and couldn't help but sigh: "Xing, the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer!"
"Do you see that?"
I don't know when, Xu Jin also came to the victims.
The originally orderly porridge receiving team fell to the ground one after another.
The scarlet official uniform on Xu Jin's body shows his status, and the county lord has to salute when he sees the lord in the scarlet official uniform, not to mention that this one is also followed by a team of dragon guards who are feared by everyone.
"Pig ornament!"
"It's Goshi!"
The middle-aged official who was in charge of the soup kitchen here shrank his eyes, and immediately jumped off the high platform, ran to Xu Jin and knelt down: "The villain Wanping County soap class head Lu Chong, meet Lord Yushi!"
Xu Jin snorted, raised his hand and said, "Get up, continue to organize soup kitchens, this official just happened to be passing by, just take a look."
Lu Chong had a great desire to complain in his heart, but he didn't dare to show half of his unhappiness. Master Yushi, how many people can afford to mess with?
He hurriedly got up and said respectfully, "My lord, it's windy here, if you rest, the villain will let you make room for your lord......
"No need, this official is going to enter the city, you can go and get busy."
Seeing that Xu Jin was reluctant to say more, Lu Chong secretly looked at Jia Cong curiously. This young man is richly dressed, and the golden crown and jade belt are not handsome...... Hiss, Golden Dragon Order!
He hurriedly bowed down to the two of them, and quickly ran back to the high platform, doing his best to organize the soup kitchen.
Xu Jin looked at the little apprentices who were still staring at the victims one by one, and said leisurely: "This is just Wanping County, among the Zhuangzi of those big families in the capital, I don't know how many young people have been collected this time. And those women, a bowl of millet for a little girl...... Brother Cong, guess how many bowls of millet can be exchanged for the fields under the names of these people?"
