The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.

In the splendid hall, there was a sudden sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, which was heavy and muffled, and the hearts of the people who smashed it jumped.

The civil and military officials in the hall knelt on the ground one by one and shouted in unison, "Your Majesty is angry."

On the dragon chair, the anger on the majestic emperor's face did not diminish because of these few fluttering words: "Anger? Longyou has almost no harvest since last year, but why did the previous presentation say that everything is the same as in previous years?! What do the local officials and inspectors eat?! ”

The imperial court has a complete set of disaster relief plans, as long as the local government reports, the supplies can be prepared and sent over immediately.

And it is not necessarily necessary to hold local officials accountable, after all, the limited manpower makes them too weak in the face of natural disasters.

So as long as the situation is not big and the local officials have done their best, the emperor can understand.

In addition to the officials stationed in various places, the imperial court also sent inspectors to various places, and these people changed places every three years to supervise whether the local government was conscientious, and every quarter they also sent documents to the imperial court separately to explain the details of the location.

Among them, the grain harvest should be written separately into a detailed document.

It stands to reason that this should not be the case.

And this time, the matter is already so serious, the capital has just gotten the news.

The person who delivered the news was still dressed as a homeless person before he was able to leave.

Obviously, Longyou is not a simple natural disaster, and even the primary reason for today's situation is man-made disasters!

The emperor was furious, and directly smashed the inkstone in his hand: "If it weren't for the fact that someone had already changed their children and eaten, those bastards couldn't be suppressed, wouldn't I have to wait for the people of Longyou to enter Beijing, and I would know?!" ”

The ministers below were silent.

The emperor's face was gloomy, but he didn't just want to vent his anger.

He flicked his sleeves fiercely, pondered for a moment, and said: "The household department will verify the disaster situation as soon as possible, prepare the materials used for disaster relief, and it is better to have a surplus than not enough, and the follow-up subsidies must also be properly arranged." ”

"There is such a big incident in the local area, but the local government and the supervision envoy do not say a word, and the officials go back to order a few people who can take on this position, bring them over, and bring back that group of waste!"

"Go to the Tai Hospital again, and let Tai Yi Xu order a few people to accompany him, after the disaster, I don't want to hear that someone died due to the epidemic."

As the emperor said a word, some of the ministers kneeling below hurriedly got up and bowed out.

After saying this, the emperor's eyes fell on Shen Chuan: "Aiqing, you have to go to this matter in person." ”

The others breathed a sigh of relief.

Longyou Road is far away, and there has been a situation where Yizi eats it, which has obviously become a hell on earth.

And His Majesty attaches so much importance to this matter, if you don't do it well, I'm afraid you will lose your head, so even if it's a fat difference, no one dares to jump forward.

Shen Chuan arched his hand: "The minister will not disgrace his mission." ”

The emperor nodded, turned his head sideways and said, "Deshan, you go to General Chen's mansion in person, borrow his son for use, and tell him to ensure Aiqing's safety, otherwise, he doesn't have to come back." ”

General Chen's son is a martial arts idiot, and among the younger generation, no one is better than him.

If you want to say that the generals are in the prime of life, there are not no people in the court, but those people are older than Shen Chuan, and it is inevitable that they will have some arrogance that refuses to succumb to them.

And Chen Jinxuan is different, that kid said that it is pure in mind when it sounds good, and it is simple to say that it is ugly, and Shen Chuan does not have to work hard to pinch him.

Shen Chuan's departure is already a heavy responsibility, and his energy should be completely focused on disaster relief, and the fewer such miscellaneous things that may distract him, the better.

Deshan answered "yes" and left hurriedly.

Shen Chuan also got up to leave and went straight back to Sweetwater Lane.

It took four or five days for the household department to prepare things and the officials to select and transfer manpower, and when he came back to arrange his manpower, he went to the messenger to understand the situation.

"It may take a few months or even half a year to go, so let Cheng Cong and them stay in the capital, if there is something important, they will fly the eagle to send a message, and they must not be delayed."

"Tell Dexi to pay attention to the situation in the palace, especially the six princes, his every move must not be let go."

"Since Bai Yujing has been built, let's choose the nearest day to open."

"Over there in the Marquis of Anyuan's mansion...... Let's talk about it later. ”

A hint of coldness flashed in Shen Chuan's eyes, and he was quickly suppressed again.

Wei Ze nodded, and hurriedly turned around and went out to make arrangements.

Shen Chuan stood in the courtyard and turned his head to look next door.

For nearly half a month, Jiang Fuyue has not returned, and there is no news.

Shen Chuan sighed faintly.

But he didn't have to wait until it was cold and the hot spring villa opened before he could see her.

That's too long.

Well, when he comes back this time, he still asks His Majesty for a leave of absence and goes to her.

Shen Chuan shook his head, stepped into the house, and packed his luggage.

——

On the other side, in a red field, Jiang Fuyue and the others had already met the first wave of displaced people.

Nearly a hundred people of different heights, all of them were so thin that only the skeleton remained, all of them were in tattered clothes, their eyes were blank, and they were wandering like ghosts on the dusty dirt road.

Men with women, women with children, and some with swaddling clothes in their arms, but they couldn't hear any crying.

Occasionally, someone falls, and they don't seem to notice it, and the one behind steps on the one in front, still walking on their own path.

It seemed that all that was left of them was an empty shell in human form, and the soul had long since left, just waiting for this empty shell to collapse to the ground at a moment of loss of balance, and life would be completely ended.

Zhou Niangzi was so shocked by this scene that her scalp was numb, and she hurriedly whispered: "Go farther away and keep your distance from them." ”

The coachman was so frightened by the scene before him that he almost didn't slow down, and when he was ordered, he decisively turned the reins and gave them the road.

Carefully staggered with this group of displaced people, Jiang Fuyue barely regained her breathing.

The stunned Gu Yu on the side also breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Niangzi's face was slightly gloomy, and she said, "I can't rest at night, we have to rush back to Liangzhou City as soon as possible." ”

Further on, it is estimated that there are no stable accommodation conditions, so I can only sleep in the forest.

But their group is too ambitious, and they are likely to be targeted.

Jiang Fuyue also nodded.

It's better to just not sleep than not to be able to sleep.

Jiang Fuyue thought for a while and said, "Let's take a detour and don't take the main road." ”

Zhou Niangzi was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly went to order the coachman.

Yes.

I am afraid that I will often encounter homeless people on the main road, and they can only be safe when they walk around.

So the carriage made a detour, and before it was dark, they entered a village.

The village is even more terrifyingly quiet.

The weather is gloomy, like a wandering tomb.

The carriage didn't dare to enter the village rashly, so it stopped at the entrance of the village, Bai Lu Hanlu got out of the car and turned around, and then came back with a heavy face: "There is no living mouth." ”

Not only did they find empty boiling pots in some of the courtyards, surrounded by tiny bones.

In some homes, there are people lying on the bed, but they have been dead for a long time, and they have no cover on their bodies, so they are just put away.

Hungry, the carriage passed by them, and everyone could not bear to lower the curtains, even the sturdy guards who accompanied them.

The crowd did not dare to stay, and continued to rush forward at dusk.
