Chapter 215: Disaster Victims
If it weren't for the presence of the Janissaries, the victims would have unceremoniously looted all the food.
At this time, the victims finally believed Huang Zhidao's words, knowing that the other party was different from those dog officials, and the other party was a good official who really intended to help the victims.
Next, under the organization of Huang Zhidao, more than a dozen particularly large stoves were soon built, and in front of each stove, scrawny and ragged victims were lining up, waiting for the distribution of white porridge in advance.
......
(The next tomorrow will be revised and look at it again.,Sorry.,Woo woo)
Just as the donation was coming to an end, an inopportune voice suddenly said, "I wonder how much Lord Huang wants to donate?"
This sentence is simply an ulterior motive, Huang Zhidao is honest and honest, and his daily life is even more frugal, which can be seen from where he lives.
If Huang Zhidao can't donate, although there will be no consequences, he will inevitably be ridiculed for a while.
Huang Zhidao just glanced at him lightly, and then said to Lin Ying: "Your Majesty, the minister is not as rich as your lords, and he will not have special means of making money, but at such a time of national crisis, the minister is also willing to give his own hand and donate five hundred taels, as well as the minister's fortune for the past year." ”
His words were alluded to, and there was a hint of mockery.
As soon as Huang Zhidao's words fell, the faces of everyone on the field couldn't help but darken a little.
Among the people present, which of them is not cunning and cunning, although they are a little uncomfortable with Huang Zhidao's counterattack, they will not show their dissatisfaction immediately.
Now that he has jumped out, isn't he guilty of having special means of making money?
"You!"
Seeing this, the person who asked the question only felt that he was angry in his heart, but he still chose to forcibly suppress the dissatisfaction in his heart.
Huang Zhidao's move simply offended the people in the court.
However, he is not afraid of offending them, anyway, his situation is already very bad, these people have always regarded him as a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, and he knows it.
Anyway, it has come to this point, and he is naturally not afraid of offending them even harder.
"Okay, I see all your donations, and I will record them later, as for the amount of donations, it is not so important, as long as the heart is there, it is the greatest contribution to the country. Lin Ying only felt a strong smell of gunpowder permeating the field, so he opened his mouth to break the atmosphere of almost arrows and crossbows in the court.
Civil and military officials: "......"
Your Majesty, you didn't say that, why did you donate to your account now, and this has changed?
Countless people slandered in their hearts, but this idea can only be thought about in their hearts.
"Your Majesty. The civil and military officials said in unison.
Although they don't think like this in their hearts, they still have to do enough on the surface.
"Liu Ji. Lin Ying thought for a moment, and then looked at a burly man among the civil and military officials.
"The end will be. ”
The person who spoke was the person Lin Ying was looking at, he was General Zhaoyong, the military attache of Zheng Sanpin.
"I order you to lead 3,000 Janissaries to Weinan and quickly take over the important city defense of Weinan, but anyone with bad intentions, regardless of their status, will be killed. Lin Ying's face was majestic, the situation in Weinan is not optimistic, although the imperial court has allocated disaster relief funds, but how much can be used on the people, it is still unknown.
He already has a plan in his heart about this matter, but now is not the time, and the urgent thing at the moment is to calm the people's hearts and prevent mutiny.
This Zhaoyong general Liu Ji, although his foundation is not so clean, he still has some ability to lead troops, otherwise, he would not be able to entrust him with such a heavy task.
As for those disaster victims, to be honest, Lin Ying is also having a headache now, the fundamental problem is that the imperial court has no money, and the donation of hundreds of civil and military officials can only solve the urgent need, but this is not a long-term solution.
"The last general commanded. When Liu Ji heard this, his figure couldn't help but be stunned, and a touch of joy couldn't help but appear on his face, and he hurriedly bowed down to receive his life.
He is still very keen on leading troops to fight, and every day in this court, he is almost crazy.
"Huang Aiqing, you should go quickly, one step later, those victims outside the city may not be able to make some trouble. Lin Ying sighed, there was only so much he could do now, and as for more, he was also willing but powerless.
"The minister commanded. Huang Zhidao nodded solemnly, an invisible burden had been carried on his shoulders, a little heavy, once he failed, it would be a big mess.
There is a good saying, the government forces the people to rebel, and the people have to rebel.
There are people who are born with backbones, but most people still like a dull life, who wants to live that kind of life licking blood on the tip of a knife.
When those chaotic people are cornered, they will definitely do some radical behavior, which is undoubted, and there are countless examples of this in the past dynasties.
......
Huang Zhidao first went to take Yi An with him, and then followed Lin Ying's order, went to the Praetorian Guard Camp to receive five hundred Praetorian Guards, and transported them to the prefect's yamen with the disaster relief funds allocated by His Majesty's internal guards.
He first left a hundred Praetorian Guards to guard the disaster relief funds, which was not to be missed.
If it weren't for the limited manpower, Huang Zhidao would have been eager to leave all the 500 Praetorian Guards behind, until the prefect's yamen was so impenetrable that he couldn't even release a single fly, and he would not be relieved.
However, at the moment, these 100 people are enough, this is in Chang'an City, the place where the Son of Heaven is staying, and no one should dare to blatantly come to loot the disaster relief funds.
In addition to reassuring the victims, there is a more important thing for him to do now, which is to turn these relief funds into food, which is not too big a problem at the moment, except for the recent slight increase in the price of rice, there has not yet been such a grim form of no food to buy.
After arranging these, Huang Zhidao hurriedly led a team of four hundred Praetorian Guards, and rushed out of the city and rushed towards the gathering place of the victims outside the city.
Except for some victims entering the city at the beginning, in order to prevent turmoil in the city, they simply ordered the city gate to be closed and refused to allow the victims to enter the city.
Throughout the ages, every time a disaster occurred, the victims would take refuge in the nearest town, and many towns would choose to place the victims outside the city walls, and the city gates would be closed to prevent the victims from entering the city.
Is it the inaction of the local parents and officials, which is inhumane?
