Chapter 49: Disaster Relief

The capital has been the political and financial center of a country since ancient times.

The capital of Daqianguo, more than 1,000 miles away from Huaili County, was scarce in ancient times, and the roads were not smooth, so that what happened in the place would take a long time to reach the capital.

The Imperial Palace of the capital, located in the most prosperous section of the capital, is magnificent, and I don't know that it has gone through several generations of emperors to have such a scale.

On this day, the emperor chatted with Cheng Feng in the back garden of the palace, and the two were also teachers and friends, and there seemed to be no distinction between monarchs and ministers.

"Your Majesty, from the point of view of old decay, harmony is not the best way, what kind of daughter does the Great Cadre have that can be sent to the barbarians and let them spoil it?"

Cheng Feng thought of Murong Ling, these days, there are a few days when he doesn't wash his face with tears.

"Mr. Cheng, I don't want to keep Murong Ling, but the barbarians are pressing too hard, and the south has been repeatedly provoked by the barbarians.

You can't watch the lives of the people and ignore it! "They all say that the emperor is good, but who knows the troubles in the heart of Emperor Li Zheng.

"The barbarian grew up on a horse since he was a child, and he was born fierce and ruthless, and the daughters of the great cadres are golden branches and jade leaves, how can they stand the torture, Your Majesty, I still hope you will think twice."

Cheng Feng and Murong Fu are commensurate with uncles and nephews, and the two have a good relationship, so Cheng Feng naturally doesn't want to see Murong Ling being pushed into the fire pit.

"Mr. Cheng, I have made up my mind, you don't have to say it again, if you can sacrifice only Murong Ling and save thousands of people, I think it's worth it."

The emperor's face sank, who is he, Chrysostom Yuyan, how can he easily change his decision.

Cheng Feng was so frightened that he shuddered for a moment, and hurriedly got up and knelt down: "Your Majesty, the old man is just too anxious, please punish you." ”

"Mr. Cheng, you are my teacher, how can I bear to punish you, I let you be in Huaili County, just to train more talents for the Great Qianguo,

At present, there are also disasters and famines in the country, and the people are even more displaced, I don't want to fight anymore, I just want the country to be stable and united, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Li Zheng is actually a good emperor, but it is a pity that God does not help him, so that these people are constantly suffering from natural disasters, and the common people are also complaining.

"Your Majesty, no, it's not good......"

A father-in-law walked in, walking with the broken steps of a woman.

"Grandpa Cao, what happened, why are you so alarmed?" Li Zheng forced his composure, he knew that there might be another disaster.

Gonggong Cao knelt down: "Your Majesty, Huaili County sent an urgent messenger for eight hundred miles, and Huaili County was in an emergency again, and the torrential rain there continued for several days.

Countless houses were washed away, and now Huaili County is hundreds of miles away from the mourning wilderness, miserable, Huaili County King Hu Zhong wrote a few folds, and asked the emperor to take a look. ”

Li Zheng's body trembled obviously, and he glanced at Cheng Feng helplessly: "Mr. Cheng, now it is internal and external troubles, what do you say I should do?" ”

"Your Majesty, since ancient times, water and fire have been ruthless, whether a country is strong or not, it depends more on whether the people can live well, and look at it in old age.

At present, we have to go to disaster relief and fight the danger first, as for the barbarians, the emperor can prevaricate them first, only saying that the domestic danger has not been eliminated, and there is no time to take care of other things.

Of course, having said that, the emperor still can't relax, and still let the border soldiers stick to the pass, and not let go of the barbarians stepping into the Great Qianguo. ”

Although Cheng Feng is over the age of six, he is still in good spirits and full of patriotism.

"It's just that the current domestic treasury is not full, Huaili County is large, and there are millions of people around, even if I have the heart, I still can't do it!"

Li Zheng still sighed, he had always been restless these days, and he knew what was going to happen.

"Your Majesty, the old man has a suggestion, Huaili County is vast, there are many common people, but there are also many rich households, the emperor might as well send a minister down,

Of course, you must hold the sword of the emperor Shangfang in your hand to deter those local officials, and I think that as long as these people are willing to come up with surplus food, they will definitely help Huaili County tide over the difficulties. ”

Cheng Feng has been in Huaili County for more than 20 years, and he knows everything about the customs and geography of Huaili County.

Of course, those wealthy households in Huaili County, Cheng Feng also made a name on the book, and all of them are recorded.

"Then who is Mr. Cheng going to let me send?" Li Zheng actually has this intention.

"A hundred miles of wind." Cheng Feng smiled slightly.

"Okay, it's good to ride the wind for a hundred miles, then it's decided." Li Zheng did not go to the court, so he ended a matter of heart, and he was deeply gratified.

"Your Majesty, you just have to hand over the disaster relief to the hundred miles of Changfeng, the barbarians, and my great Qianguo will not give up an inch of land, which is the foundation of the country."

Cheng Feng stood up and knelt down next to Gonggong Cao.

"Mr. Cheng, please hurry up, I still have to discuss the specific details with you." Li Zheng personally helped Cheng Feng up, and turned back to Cao Gong to be fair:

"Gonggong Cao, you are the messenger of Huaili County, I have something to ask him personally."

Father-in-law Cao got up and retreated out of the study.

Cheng Feng sat opposite Li Zheng, waiting for Gonggong Cao to come with a messenger.

Huaili County, a radius of hundreds of miles, the sky seems to have been pierced by someone, for several days, it has been raining heavily.

In ancient times, most of the houses were made of adobe bricks, which were fine for a short time, but as long as they were soaked in rain for a long time, they would turn into soft mud.

One house after another collapsed mercilessly, many houses were swept away by the flood, and there was a miserable scene everywhere.

Many wealthy families would use stone to build the walls up to a foot high, and then use adobe, and some people would make frames out of wood, so that even if there was a big flood rushing through, the wooden shelves would still be there, and the houses would not collapse.

The Zheng family has a lot of houses, but they have taken in a lot of victims in the past few days.

Regardless of whether his father agrees or not, Zheng Guangzong also set up a few firewood stoves at the door, boiling porridge day and night to help the victims, as long as the victims come, the Zheng family will lend a hand.

Zheng Guangzong was as busy as a spinning top, one moment in the house, one moment outside the house, and the next moment he was called out, asking him to help with advice.

Zheng Wancai sat in the hall, just buried his head, sighing.

Zheng Guangzong came in and saw his father like this, for fear of being infected, so he wanted to slip away.

Zheng Wancai hurriedly shouted: "Guangzong, you stand with me, where are you going?" ”

"Dad, there are so many victims outside, can't my son ignore them?" Zheng Guangzong smiled bitterly, he has a dual identity, and he knows the importance of people-oriented.

"Guangzong, why don't you understand, how many victims are there in the entire Huaili County, can you save them, when the time comes, even the Zheng family will become disaster victims."

Zheng Wancai has experienced many disasters, and it is expected that it does not make much sense for his son to do this.
