Chapter 75: Losing Conscience and Cruelty
Next.
The carriage slowly ten pounds inside the city.
But the more he walked, the more Li Anmin felt that something was wrong.
Why doesn't this Taizhou city look like it's been affected by disasters at all?
As a matter of common sense.
In a place like this, there should be a few soup kitchens to help the victims.
But when they came all the way to the present, they didn't see any trace of the porridge shed.
Not to mention the refugees who came to line up to receive porridge.
Li Anmin also felt more and more that the scene here was weird.
Immediately, he instructed Zhou Qidao: "When you see someone later, remember to stop and ask what is going on." ”
"No!"
Zhou Qi nodded yes.
The carriage didn't travel long.
A rickety figure appeared in front of him.
The man was lying on the side of the road, looking weak, as if he hadn't eaten for several days.
See this scene.
Li Anmin immediately gave Zhou Qi a look.
Zhou Qi did not hesitate, immediately stopped the carriage and ran to the front of the man.
The hesitation is far away.
Li Anmin couldn't hear clearly what the two were communicating.
But looking at Zhou Qi's uncertain face, Li Anmin realized something.
It didn't take long.
Zhou Qi walked back, with an angry face.
"Your Majesty."
"This Wu Hua Nian, it's really damn good......"
Li Anmin waved his hand and said, "What's the damn way?" ”
"It stands to reason."
"Your Majesty sent Wu Huanian to serve as this messenger, he doesn't say thank you, but he also has to do his best to do things for His Majesty."
"But on the first day he came, he ordered the grain merchants in Taizhou City to raise the price of grain."
"What's more, he also brought many grain merchants himself, so that these people can sell grain at a higher price."
Zhou Qi said indignantly: "This is simply making a fortune in the country!" ”
"You've already told me about it."
Li Anmin said indifferently: "Say something I don't know." ”
"If only he just raised the price."
"He also canceled all the soup kitchens that Shannan Province knew had set up."
"He doesn't care whether the refugees have enough to eat or not, and leaves it up to the victims to figure it out for themselves."
"In just a few days, the bark of the entire Taizhou tree has been gnawed away, and after a few days, there are not even many grass roots left."
"These people, who don't have enough to eat every day, have been tossed and lost their human appearance."
"And after that, he also asked these people to exchange work for food, and if they did not work, they were not given food."
Zhou Qi clapped his hands, looking like he wanted to cry without tears, and said: "Where in this world is there such a disaster relief, where is there such a parent official?" ”
"His behavior is clearly not treating the people as human beings......
Hearing his words, Li Anmin's face also changed.
If it is said, Wu Huanian's behavior of raising grain prices.
He was able to understand.
After all, he had seen this kind of method in the one hundred and eight tricks to make a fortune before.
He also knew that Wu Huanian did this because he wanted grain to flow into Taizhou as soon as possible.
Avoid the situation of people starving to death due to lack of food.
As for this method, Li Anmin also admires it very much, and even thinks about trying it himself.
But hearing the second half of Zhou Qi's words, Li Anmin was really angry.
Let the price of food rise.
Then why should we let those people who have no money to buy rice and grain get some free porridge to drink?
But instead of giving free porridge to drink, this product also forced people to work.
The four words of brutality and inhumanity are simply tailor-made for him.
"Damn it!"
Li Anmin slapped his face on the ground, and said with a hideous expression: "Let's go, let's go to the government to find him, I want to see what reason he has for himself this time!" ”
"No!"
Zhou Qiying is.
Then he inquired about the location of the government office and drove over.
……
The government is not far from here.
In the blink of an eye, the three of them came to the outside of the mansion.
But they had just jumped out of the carriage, and before they could enter the door, they heard a burst of laughter from inside the palace.
"Everyone has worked hard all this time."
"Everyone will take this money and share it."
"I'm not biased, it's two thousand taels per person."
Although I haven't seen Wu Huanian for a long time.
But when he heard this voice, Li Anmin immediately recognized it, which is what he said.
And to hear this, they seem to be splitting the money.
What money? Whose money is it shared?
Li Anmin's eyebrows tightened, and then he strode into the open door of the mansion.
When he came in and saw the scene in front of him, Li Anmin only felt that his blood pressure was several percentage points higher.
I saw that the government money, in the huge courtyard, there were several round tables.
And on these round tables, in addition to the delicacies, there are also white flowers and silver.
It was a group of officials dressed in county order costumes who were sitting around these round tables at this moment, looking greedily at the tables.
"Bold!"
Li Anmin roared in shock: "I don't know how many Li people have been displaced by the floods in Shannan Province and have not been hungry, but you are here to eat big fish and meat, and even divide the money, how can you be worthy of being parents and officials for such behavior!" ”
As soon as this statement came out.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
The next moment, everyone's eyes were on him.
When they saw Li Anmin, the faces of these people were also blank.
At this time.
Their ideas were surprisingly consistent.
Who is this? What does he do?
"Who are you?"
"Do you know what this place is?"
Wang Yu stood up first, his face unkind.
Gong Youde also stood up and said, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will treat you for the following sins and throw you into prison!" ”
They eat and drink well here.
What the hell is this for, he's here to interject?
And when he opened his mouth, he said that they were not worthy of being parents, and he didn't take these people in his eyes too much.
"Presumptuous!"
Zhou Qi saw these people besieging Li Anmin, and he immediately became anxious.
He strode in front of Li Anmin, stood still and said, "What are you going to do here?" Is it a rebellion? ”
"Where did you come from?"
Wang Yu raised his eyebrows and said: "Can you dare to say this kind of thing?" ”
The word rebellion.
It was the exclusive domain of the Emperor and his close retainers.
Are they emperors, or are they close ministers of the emperor?
If the emperor and the emperor's close ministers are like this, wouldn't the streets be full of people above the emperor and one person?
And just when Wang Yu wanted to continue arguing for a few words.
Wu Huanian slowly opened his mouth: "Okay, okay, don't say a word." ”
"These two are my friends!"
Hear this.
Wang Yu also immediately stopped his words, and turned to smile with a smile on his face: "It turned out to be a friend of Master Wu, how much offended, how offended......"
Now this Wang Yu has completely obeyed Wu Huanian.
As for the reason, of course, it is not only because of Shi Hu's strong force.
There was also Wu Huanian's ability in it, as well as the bags of silver he sent to them from time to time.
And at the moment.
Wu Huanian also stood up, slowly walked to Li Anmin's approach, and said with a smile: "Master Li, don't come to harm......"
