The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"come here."

"Officer...Master Guan..."

"A few people in the family. A few were hit by a disaster. A few arrived in the capital."

"Response... to the words of Master Huiguan. There are five people in the family. There was a disaster. No one happened. All... all came."

"Yeah. Take this. Go and line up over there."

"Official...Master Guan. This...this can...how much can you get."

"Why are you talking so much nonsense. Didn't you see there are people behind? Hurry up and line up. It's enough for your family to eat."

"Yes. Thank you... Thank you, Mr. Guan."

"Go away. Don't delay. Next."

"Master Guan..."

This is outside the south gate of the capital.Yesterday, the report of the flood in the Huanghuai River came in.However, it only records the memorials of Henan and Nanzhili.now.That's not the case anymore.In fact, those two places were not the only ones affected by the disaster.It's just that it's more serious.And like the territory of Shandong.Some rivers also burst their banks.Although it looks like now.The situation is also more serious.But in general.Not as urgent as those in Henan and Nanzhili.So today.This document came to the capital with the refugees.

Affected refugees.There are also many people.Some people rushed directly to Jinan Prefecture.And those closer to the north headed straight north.Of course.There are many reasons for this.After all, this place has been threatened before.Not much though.But there have been.But every time.After going to Jinan Prefecture.The local governor tried to shirk for a long time several times.Just don't open the warehouse to release grain.Relief for the people.You have to wait until the court's documents come down.

all the way.Hejian Mansion, Zhending Mansion, and Baoding Mansion.None of these refugees stayed.Instead, they came straight to the capital.There is also a reason for this.even though.The capital is where the emperor is.Naturally, these refugees living here cannot easily enter the city.lest they disturb the law and order.This is not to look down on people.It's just that thousands of years of experience have told the rulers.As long as there are more people gathered.There is bound to be trouble.

but.It is also because this is in the capital.So there are benefits too.When the emperor knew that there were refugees outside the city.I will definitely order to open warehouses and release food to relieve them immediately.even.When the emperor didn't know.The senior members of the court have already made a decision.After all, the capital is an important place.Whether inside or outside the city.It is absolutely not allowed to make trouble.Even if there are heavily guarded here.But if there is trouble together.Even if the army comes to suppress.These are just ordinary innocent people.

Although it's hard to say.But those who suffered from the flood did not have a long way to go.None of the state capitals along the way remained.But he wanted to go to the capital by fate.This is the case in some respects.It is also a kind of trust in the emperor and the court.If it is to set this kind of trust and disregard.How will this country be governed in the future.

In short.Everyone understands this truth.so.As long as people who have suffered disasters come to the capital.Then there will definitely be something to eat.Although it may not be able to fill the stomach.But you will never starve to death.In addition, Yamen assisted from the side.There was even an army watching from the sidelines.Chaotic scenes are also rare.Even if there is, the person who took the lead in making trouble will be found out immediately.Press things down.

certainly.It is not just Yamen who open warehouses to release food.Or.Only the yamen can use the words "open warehouse and release grain".There are many others.Some are big families.Those who are in business or are well-off at home.Some are officials from the DPRK and China.certainly.This is a minority.After all, there are not too many official salaries in the court.If a lot of things explode at this time.Wouldn't it be self-inflicted.Are you saying that your hands and feet are not clean?

Of course.The imperial court will not let those who voluntarily contribute money to help the victims of the disaster pay for it in vain.but.In the past, most of them issued a document.To show its merits.Speak the truth.That's what's on the face of it.It is not a benefit that can be seen and touched.Perhaps in a few hundred years.Can be worth a lot of money.But now it's nothing.

but.This is a feudal era dominated by imperial power.For businessmen who are always at the bottom of society.Face is the most important thing.They will never let go of any opportunity to add credit to their faces.

Moreover.In addition to the maritime merchants in the Ming Dynasty.For ordinary merchants, no tax is ever collected.These merchants took great advantage.You also have to touch your own conscience to do things.certainly.There is also no shortage of extreme stinginess.A person with an extremely black heart.But in general.That is also a minority.

Zhang Fan is now outside the South City Gate.Say something.Zhang Fan received those rewards from Long Qing back then.Although it's not a worry.But I want to spend all that money.I'm afraid it will have to go through the joint efforts of several generations.And Mrs. Zhao never valued these things.Enough is enough.Others she also took out to help the poor.To this.Zhang Fan naturally had no reason to object.

certainly.Even if Mrs. Zhao has never read a book.Also understand a lot of truth.Going too far is one of them.Outside the South City Gate.There are porridge places set up by the Zhang family all the year round.But never too much.

now.Refugees flock here.After Mrs. Zhao learned of the news.Don't come here in person.so.Zhang Fan is also here now.

Looking at my mother wearing ordinary clothes.With a smile on his face, he personally serves porridge and rice for others.Zhang Fan felt a little unhappy.It's not that he looks down on others.It's just that he feels this kind of thing.There is no need for the mother to come in person.Moreover.Although the mother is only forty years old.But after all, it is not as strong as a young person.The speed is also much slower.But Zhang Fan didn't dare to persuade him.Tried it a few times before.After being stared back.He will not touch the mold.

There is also Ru Xue on the side.But she didn't do anything.It's not that she's hypocritical.There was really nothing she could do.And Mrs. Zhao also ordered.Tell her not to do it.Zhang Fan also persuaded her to go back many times.But Ru Xue never said she was unwilling.He just smiled back at Zhang Fan.See that expression.Zhang Fan had no more words.It seems.Zhao's fine tradition.Someone will inherit the Zhang family in the future.coincidentally.Both women are considered outsiders.

Luo Ling'er is about to give birth now.That is to say, to be born is to be born.It's possible anytime.She was suffering even when she went to the ground.Naturally it is impossible to come.And Yingyue and Zhaoxue.But he didn't come either.Their reason is to go to the temple to pray for these disaster-stricken people.

To this.Zhang Fan was quite skeptical.Although he can be sure.The two will definitely go to the temple to offer incense.But incense.Give some sesame oil money.Listen to the old monk whispering a few words.Anyway, it won't take an hour.Where will the two of them go after that.Zhang Fan could think of it with his toes.

And now.Zhang Fan was worrying.It's not that they are worrying about Yingyue and Zhaoxue.It's what happened this morning.

It is said that these refugees were early this morning.No.It should be said to be in the middle of the night.Yin time has come.Now Mrs. Zhao gets up very early.It was earlier than Zhang Fan who was going to the morning court.As soon as she heard the news.After ordering people to bring money to buy food.Tianhai went out before dawn.

To this.Zhang Fan was helpless.There is no way.After all, he still has to go to court.He ordered Liang Chao to send someone to protect him.

But it's up.I don't know anyone who is so well-informed.He even said it all.after leaving.Whether it is Ge Shouli, Zhang Juzheng, Feng Bao.Even sitting on the throne.Zhu Yijun, who used to keep his mouth shut, spoke.He praised Zhao again and again.

All of a sudden.The most important ones in the court.And people from both camps have spoken.Even the emperor spoke up.How can the ministers below have no reason not to speak.

then.One after another, they stood up and praised Mrs. Zhao.This is also because there is really nothing going on now.Where is Pan Jixun?No reply yet.The court has already made preparations.But there is nothing to do now.Shandong side.Although there are many refugees coming.But the actual disaster is not serious.The imperial court had already prepared people to go there.

then.It was such a scene.

And Zhang Fan stood inside.I dare not move.Very embarrassing.Although talking about his mother.But Zhang Fan felt it.It seemed that everyone's eyes were on him.

Think about it.Zhang Fan couldn't help feeling a headache.

"Sir." At this time.Ru Xue's voice came.I saw her pointing to the officer's side.asked. "That is how the matter."

there.Food is still being distributed in an orderly manner.Although there is order.But the speed is also extremely slow.Lots of walking all day.Hungry people can't wait.They all ran to the side.

Zhang Fan saw that.I don't know what to say.In the end, he had to say: "That's the result of discussions between the court and China."

fart.What court.That was Feng Bao's plan.He played so demanding.The reason is that there were no rules for heavy volume in the past.Everyone is in a mess.It's easy to get into trouble.The funny thing is.Zhu Yijun, who didn't understand anything, agreed.And no one said anything below.

The situation was even worse.Feng Bao asked for inspections one by one.In case someone pretends to be multi-collared.The result is slower.Only now.It's also a lot faster.But still very slow.

result.There can be hundreds of people eating here in an hour.And it would be great if the government can send a hundred people to collect food in an hour.

To this.Zhang Fan also had no choice.Although Feng Bao's idea is a jerk.But since the court has passed.Then it can only be executed.

And Ru Xue.Listen to what Zhang Fan said.I wanted to make a rebuttal.But he saw Zhang Fan's face full of helplessness.Know there is another secret.I won't ask any more questions.

originally.Zhang Fan planned to stay with his mother.After all, let her be here alone.He is worried.When going to court.I have been worrying.

But when he received a secret report.Just be able to leave.
