Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 56 Refugees

Empress Changsun and Li Shimin had dinner at the Lizheng Hall. Empress Changsun knew that Li Shimin could not stop Li Lizhi now, and for Wei Hao, he still had a change of heart. At least the consequences of the marriage of close relatives were caused by Wei Haoxian. reminded.

On Wei Hao's side, Wei Hao has just let those craftsmen finish drawing the embryo, and they will start coloring tomorrow. The paint Wei Hao has already been prepared, and Wei Hao has also completed the drawing pattern with the painters.

The next day, Wei Hao arrived at the pottery workshop. On the way, Wei Hao found some people who were dragging their families with them. Many of them were skinless and looked like they had been hungry for a long time.

"What's going on?" Wei Hao asked while sitting on the carriage, looking at the people outside.

"Young Master, this is probably a refugee!" The servants who followed Wei Hao on horseback outside explained to Wei Hao.

"Refugees? Where did the refugees come from? Now that the world is peaceful, there are still refugees?" Wei Hao was even more strange when he heard this.

"Young Master, we don't know about this, why don't you, the little one, go and ask about it?" The servant heard Wei Hao's question, so he watched and Wei Hao became angry.

"Okay, go and ask, find out, where did you come from, why did you come, and how many people came!" Wei Hao nodded, and the servant immediately rode over.

Wei Hao put down the curtain and let the groom continue to rush forward. He just arrived at the ceramic workshop, and the servant who went to inquire also came over: "Young master, I have inquired clearly, there has been a severe drought in the northwest, and it has been raining since last year. Not yet, and now fleeing to Chang'an, I heard that there are tens of thousands of people!

"Tens of thousands of people? Tens of thousands of people can't be arranged in those places. What to eat?" Wei Hao felt very strange when he heard it. The cost of living for tens of thousands of people is not much. This way, he passed through so many cities. , there is no city to keep them.

"Young master, there are a lot of tens of thousands of people. Back then, when my family fled, no one gave us food. Along the way, the roots of the trees would be eaten away!" The servant looked at Wei Hao and said seriously.

"Well, alright, let's get busy, I'm going to color those ceramics today!" Wei Hao nodded and said, such a thing, it's not his turn to take care of it.

This is the capital, there are more officials than me, and there are emperors on it.

At this moment, on the side of the palace, Li Shimin naturally knew that the refugees were coming, and received a notification before, so now there is no problem in dealing with it, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs has also begun to allocate food and serve porridge.

"Your Majesty, those refugees still need to settle down. Qin Tianjian said that there may be blizzards in the northwest this year. If those refugees go back without a tile, they will die when they go back, and the winter in Chang'an will not be easy. How to settle these refugees, please ask the Ministry of Civil Affairs to come up with the regulations!" Fang Xuanling stood up and cupped his hands to Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, if you don't care about so many refugees, the people around Chang'an will have no peace of mind. Even if you want to send them home, you will have to finish this winter, and this winter, there are still about 6 months. Time! 6 months, need to consume a lot of food and grass,

Moreover, as Fang Pushe said, if you don’t settle down well, then the surrounding people will not have a peaceful life, but how to settle down, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is really unable to do so, and they can only provide money and food for disaster relief! "Dai Zhou also stood up and cupped his hands.

"Well, everyone, is there a way?" Li Shimin looked at the ministers and asked. He had known about the severe drought in the northwest, and he had sent people to relieve the disaster, but some people still escaped.Those ministers look at me, I look at you.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing, that is, the food and grass for more than 4 people is also a big expense. If it is calculated as two cents a day per person, it is more than [-] cents a day, and more than two thousand cents a month. , this is still a trivial matter, the key is that the supplies to keep out the cold,

If they were left outside Chang'an City, most of them would freeze to death in winter. Now winter is only more than two months away. In addition, it is inappropriate for so many refugees to be outside Chang'an City. Chang'an is the capital after all. In the center of the world, if there are refugees here and let other foreign countries see it, how do you view my Tang Dynasty? "Dai Xu stood there and continued to speak.

"Your Majesty, you can let those refugees go to Luoyang. There are not many people in Luoyang. When those refugees pass by, they can still fill the population of Luoyang!" Zhangsun Wuji stood up at this moment and said with his hands folded.

"No, Luoyang has a small population. If so many refugees pour in at once, it will cause chaos in Luoyang. In addition, Luoyang's materials are difficult to feed so many refugees, and there is the problem of wintering. When you arrive in Luoyang, you will not be able to survive the winter. !" Fang Xuanling stood up immediately, refuting the opinion of the eldest grandson Wuji.

"The key is to spend the winter, everyone, you have to think of a way!" Li Shimin also said very worriedly, so much food and grass, Li Shimin is not worried, not to mention the rescue of the court, even those rich people in Chang'an will cook porridge. This can also reduce a lot of pressure on the court, but no one is short of cold materials.

Wei Hao returned to the city at noon, and now there are many more guards at the gate of the city to prevent refugees from entering the city.

Wei Hao just arrived at the city gate when he saw someone making porridge.

"Is this Chaotang serving porridge?" Wei Hao asked while looking into the distance.

"Young master, it's not. It's from another manor. It takes two meals a day to serve porridge in the courtroom, and another hour for the next meal!" The servant said to Wei Hao.

"Oh, you can also make porridge in various houses?" Wei Hao asked immediately after hearing this.

"Yes, many people make porridge!" The servant said to Wei Hao.

"Go, go home!" Wei Hao immediately put down the curtain and let the groom go home. As soon as he got home, Wei Hao started shouting, "Dad, Daddy!"

"What's the matter?" Wei Furong heard Wei Hao shout, and immediately came out of the living room, thinking that something had happened.

"How much food do we have?" Wei Hao asked immediately.

"Why are you asking this? Our family has hundreds of dan of grain, why?" Wei Furong looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"Take it out, disaster relief, there are many refugees outside!" Wei Hao said to Wei Furong.

"Disaster relief? It's none of your business. That's the matter of the court. Really, take it out to our house to drink the northwest wind in winter?" Wei Furong knew this as soon as he heard it. Of course he knew that there were refugees outside the city.

"Father, I'm an earl now, the court is in trouble, we need help, really, don't stare at those grains, how much is hundreds of load of food worth? Isn't a load of food worth more than 40 cents? Is it?" Wei Hao looked at Wei Furong with contempt and said, Wei Furong made sense when he heard it, his son is now an earl, so he should also pay attention to his image.

"Son, we can't take out the food from our family. Once Chang'an encounters a famine, there are still many long-term workers in our family. We will need to save them then." Wei Furong looked at Wei Hao and said.

"Then buy food, come here, take out 2000 kangaroos to buy food!" Wei Hao waved his hand and shouted.

"You prodigal! 2000 knives of money to buy food, how much do you want to buy?" Wei Furong scolded Wei Hao through gritted teeth.

"Father, there are many refugees outside, and many government officials have gone to disaster relief. Your son and I can't be left behind. That's it. If you don't agree, I will transfer money from the restaurant!" Wei Hao looked at Wei Furong said.

"Then you can't buy so much at once. Besides, other houses won't spend so much money on disaster relief!" Wei Furong said anxiously to Wei Hao, this son is too prodigal.

"Then buy first, buy more, our family is also going to disaster relief, remember it for me, those porridges must be thicker, otherwise the people will not be full, and people will be in trouble, we have to help! Just give I have opened the supply, whoever wants to drink it!" Wei Hao thinks about it, there is so much food, there is no place to put it, right?

Wei Furong couldn't help it, thinking that it was better than paying someone else's money and getting a good reputation for his son, which was not bad, so he asked the housekeeper to buy it with 200 kangaroos of money. In the afternoon, Wei Hao's family also began to live outside the city. Congee.

Wei Hao took the carriage to the ceramic workshop. Not long after he arrived, Li Lizhi came over, but she didn't look very good.

"What's wrong?" Wei Hao walked over to Li Lizhi and asked.

"Isn't this seeing so many refugees outside the city?" Li Lizhi said with a sigh.

"Little things, don't worry, they won't starve to death, I have sent my father to the disaster relief!" Wei Hao waved his hand to Li Lizhi and said, Li Lizhi heard it, but he was a little surprised, I didn't expect Wei Hao to send someone too .

"Why are you looking at me?" Wei Hao looked at Li Lizhi and said.

"Eating is not a problem. In the past two years, there has been a bumper harvest of food. Even if some places were hit by disasters, the key is to keep out the cold. Now there is no way for the court. Moreover, how to settle down in the future is also a problem for those people, whether to let them return to their original places, or to migrate. Going to other cities, there is no conclusion yet." Li Lizhi looked at Wei Hao and said.

"This is also called a problem, is there something wrong?" Wei Hao said contemptuously.

"What did you say? What do you know? How about tens of thousands of refugees? Now all the civil and military people of the dynasty are worried. They don't know how to arrange those people. In winter, if there are not enough cold protection materials, those people will freeze to death!" Looking at Wei Hao talking, I thought to myself why Wei Hao started to blow everything, and didn't look at anything.

"Manchu civil and military? That's it? That's why His Majesty didn't ask me, asking me, it's not easy for tens of thousands of people!" Wei Hao also looked at Li Lizhi with contempt, thinking in his heart, why Li Shimin can't see him?

"You, you, what do you say?" Li Li pointed at Wei Hao and shouted.
