The maid was hesitant, Lin Luoyao took out a hundred taels of silver from her pocket at this time, and she said, "Take it, improve the food for everyone." ”

The maid looked at Lou Yun, Lou Yun said with a smile: "Since it was given to you by Luo Yao, then you can take it." ”

The maid said happily: "Thank you, young lady, for everyone! Thank you, young master!"

The maid took the silver ticket from Lin Luoyao's hand, and Lin Luoyao asked again, "What happened? Why is it so economical all of a sudden?"

At this time, a deep voice came, and he said, "This is a long story. ”

The person who spoke was Guo Ye, Guo Ye waved his hand, signaling that everyone went down.

Lin Luoyao asked, "What happened to the Young Alliance Master?" Even if it is difficult for the Guo family, they will not eat these. ”

Guo Ye sighed and said, "Didn't you pay attention to this when you came back?"

At this time, Nangong Li accosted: "Well, indeed, there were a lot of people on the road when I came back, and they looked a little like homeless people." ”

Lin Luoyao asked, "What is a homeless person?"

It is not surprising that Lin Luoyao would ask this question, Lin Luoyao was born rich and noble, although he has a city government that far surpasses his peers, it is normal that he has never seen a homeless person. Because the displaced are the poor who have fled from their homes.

When Lou Yun was young, he followed his father to see a doctor, and he saw hungry people everywhere. Yi Zi and Eat may be just four words in the book, but Lou Yun has seen it.

And Lou Yun was robbed by those hungry people when he was young, if it weren't for Lou Juren being the second young master of Peacock Villa, who had practiced martial arts since childhood, I am afraid that his son would be eaten by them.

Lou Yun said: "Displaced people are some people who have left their hometowns because of disasters, and my father used to meet displaced people when he took me to various places, these people ...... I can't be called human anymore, and I shudder when I look back on it now. ”

Guo Ye said: "It's not that serious now, but this flood has also made the imperial court a headache. ”

"Flooding?"

Guo Ye said: "That's right, the flood season of the Yellow River is approaching, and the heavy rain in the past few days has broken down a section of the river embankment, the Yellow River has flooded, and many places in Zhongzhou have been flooded. Now the imperial court is organizing relief for the victims. As the head of Zhongzhou's martial arts, the Zhongzhou League naturally can't ignore it, but in recent years, the Zhongzhou League has not had much money exchange, and the imperial court has also taken the silver originally allocated to the Zhongzhou League for disaster relief. ”

"Now the silver chain in the Zhongzhou League and even in the house is broken, so Dad asked everyone to be more frugal. Not only these, but even the money for the fat powder clothes of the ladies in the house has been deducted. Now it is possible to save a penny, not only for disaster relief, but also to rebuild the Yellow River embankment before the flood season is completely reached, otherwise, I am afraid that Luoyang City will also be flooded. ”

Lin Luoyao nodded silently and said, "So that's the case...... Then the imperial court should be in disaster relief. ”

Guo Ye said: "That's right, but I sent a minister from the Imperial Mission, this person you may know, it is Murong Zheng's kid." ”

"What? Murong Zheng has become a messenger again?"

Guo Ye was very strange, so he asked, "Hmm, why do you say it?"

Lin Luoyao asked Guo Ye to sit down, and then gave him a brief explanation, Guo Ye was stunned. The most surprised was Qiu Yuling, she looked at Nangong Li with her mouth open, and Nangong Li just smiled at her.

At this time, Lou Yun took out a stack of silver tickets from his pocket, which was taken from Guo Ye before, and it was the monthly salary given to him by Tianying Club every month, and the year-end bonus silver. He put the money on the table.

Lou Yun said: "Brother-in-law, I only have so much money now, you can use it for disaster relief." ”

At this time, Lin Luoyao also took out some from his pocket, and then said, "I also have a little here." It's not a lot, but it can be held for a while. It's about 10,000 taels. ”

Lin Luoyao asked, "How many people have been affected?" ”

Guo Ye thought for a while and said, "The preliminary estimate is at least hundreds of thousands of people. But it's likely to be more, albeit to a different extent, but the farmland is flooded, and there is no harvest on the ground, so I don't know how many people will go hungry. Moreover, if there are hungry people, the pressure on the public order of the imperial court will also increase, and maybe someone will take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos. Rape and adultery. ”

"Just the day before yesterday, a small village not far from Bianzhou was looted by the homeless people, the village's money and food were robbed, and most of the women in the village were raped and adultered by these homeless people, and many of the girls who were insulted hanged themselves to death. Yuzhen has already issued an order, ordering all the halls under the Zhongzhou League to strictly prevent the homeless people from taking advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. If you take the opportunity to kill the evildoers, don't hesitate. ”

Lin Luoyao nodded silently and said: "Well, it should indeed be done, after all, if you kill the victims indiscriminately for no reason, it will cause criticism, if the imperial court does this, presumably those scholars who will only sit in the study and criticize the people who are in charge of the dynasty and point out the country will have a topic to accuse the court of injustice." But if it's a gang, it's much smaller. ”

But Guo Ye sighed again, he didn't go to get the money, he said: "Hey~!Forget it, your money is just a drop in the bucket, now not only the hungry people, but also because of the famine, many people are sick, some of the displaced people have a small-scale outbreak of plague, and the Yellow River embankment still needs to be strengthened and repaired." The amount of silver needed for this is not something that can be stopped. ”

Guo Ye stood up and looked at the shabby meal and said: "I have wronged you during this time, if you want to stay at home for a few days, then stay, but father, Yuzhen and I may not have so much time to accompany you, now it is a famine, and the daily affairs in the alliance also need someone to deal with." You can do it yourself, but I still recommend that you go to Chang'an or go back to Zhongnanshan. ”

"If you don't want to go back, then you can go to Jiangnan for a while. If the gap in the Yellow River embankment is not repaired when the Peach Blossom Flood comes, it will cause a large area of Yellow Flood, and you will not be able to go back when you want to. Maybe this Luoyang City will also be soaked in water. Hey~" After speaking, he sighed again.

Lin Luoyao said at this time: "Brother-in-law, we are not children anymore, and we will stay to help." ”

Guo Ye turned around at this time and looked at them.

Lou Yun also stood up and nodded.

Then Nangong Li also stood up, Qiu Yuling looked at it, and stood up herself.

Guo Ye said: "Okay, then you can go and help with disaster relief." The officers and soldiers of the imperial court and the gangs under my Zhongzhou League have gathered the victims in several places, so you can go there to help make porridge. ”
