After marrying a concubine, I have the ability to read minds

Chapter 90 Shelter
At this time, the harem, which had been stable all along, finally had a movement. The imperial concubine asked the seventh prince to go out of the palace to buy rice porridge for the people who were affected by the disaster.

The three princes and concubines followed closely behind, and set up ten large pots to cook rice and serve porridge at the east gate, and then the queen and the crown prince also made moves, setting up a porridge shed at the west gate, and then all the high-ranking official residences in central Beijing also set up porridge sheds. After taking action, a few pots were set up in front of each house, and they began to cook porridge.

The fifth concubine immediately came to Gu Wanning for advice when she got the news, "Let's go to give out porridge too, those few are busy being good people."

Gu Wanning said calmly: "Sister-in-law, why are you panicking? They... have ideas, we men don't have such big ambitions.

Besides, what everyone does, only the first one is remembered, who cares about following suit? "

The fifth prince suddenly felt relieved, yes, her man doesn't want to be a prince, and even if he wants to be a prince, it's none of her business!
Why is she in such a hurry?
"Then why don't we do anything? It's okay if we don't do anything, and I'll save money."

Gu Wanning said: "We still have to do it, but what we have to do is different from them."

The Fifth Prince's Concubine immediately became interested: "Quickly tell me, I have nothing to do these two days, and I just want to go for a stroll outside the palace?"

"My sister-in-law has an unused house. It doesn't need to be too good. It can be repaired and lived in, and the space is big enough."

The Fifth Prince Concubine said: "Where can I find such a low request? Can't I find a better one?"

Gu Wanning was helpless, she was really incomparable with this group of rich official ladies, they had all good things in their hands, but they couldn't find out the bad ones.

"Forget it, if my sister-in-law has someone, hurry up and find a vacant house as a shelter. When the snow falls, there will definitely be disaster victims coming to Beijing. Let's rent a yard for them to live in, and then let people go to the pawnshop to collect old quilts Old cotton clothes, let them have clothes to wear and a place to sleep, and buy some firewood and charcoal to send to the house. However, there is a prerequisite for living in the shelter, that is, to exchange all the materials with labor.

After the materials are exchanged for food, workers can be paid after the food is exchanged. "

As she spoke, she picked up a piece of paper full of handwriting from the desk and handed it to the Fifth Prince Concubine.

"I want to use labor in exchange for food, but the princess and the others are all giving food to the victims for nothing~ Is this okay?"

Gu Wanning said: "It doesn't matter if it's okay or not, if they come according to our requirements, they can have food and shelter without worrying about freezing to death or starving to death.

Those who are not willing to work hard, then eat the free porridge, and we don't force it. "

I don't know how long the snow will fall, but the porridge donating will not last forever. Without free porridge to eat, how will those homeless people who have no food to eat live?

It would be good if there is no trouble at that time.

The fifth concubine suddenly became agitated when she saw the words in the plan. She clapped her hands excitedly and said, "Okay, let's do it! Sixth brother and sister, how did you grow melon seeds in your little head? You actually prepared this plan early on!" A plan, if the disaster victims in central Beijing follow your plan, the capital will be peaceful in two days."

In the past two days, there have been several incidents of victims breaking into houses and looting things, and a grain store was smashed. Thanks to the patrol envoys who arrived in time, they arrested all those who looted and recovered some losses. The grain shop was immediately robbed.

"Sister-in-law, I don't have anyone in my hands, but I have money. You let the people under you handle things. I will pay half of all expenses. I will give you 3000 taels first, and I will get it for you when I run out."

The fifth prince and concubine waved her hand, "What kind of money do I still need, obviously according to what you said, I can earn money later.

Don't worry about money matters, you just need to be responsible for giving me advice! "

After speaking, she pinched the piece of paper and hurried out the door.

The two hidden guards on the roof were scratching their heads. What was written on that piece of paper?

In order to do business in front of the emperor, one of the two hidden guards quickly followed the fifth prince and concubine.

The heavy snow in the middle of Beijing caused the disaster to be too great. On the bustling streets, you could see the victims shivering from the cold everywhere. In order to avoid vicious incidents, many businesses hired people to guard outside the stores, and there were city inspectors. The people kept patrolling the street, it was very chaotic.

……

In the early morning of the next day, someone made a note. First, merchants in the capital city must take advantage of the snow disaster to raise prices, and second, the victims of the disaster must be properly resettled, and they should not be allowed to roam around in the capital.

There was a lot of chaos all morning, and after the next court, the emperor summoned more than a dozen important officials to Chaoyang Palace, and the crown prince and several adult princes were also called to attend.

Near noon, the discussion finally came to a conclusion. The victims were divided into areas and were not allowed to enter the inner city. People who gave porridge had to move to the gates of the four cities to prevent the victims from running around.

What's more, if the price of grain is fixed, merchants who dare to raise the price without authorization will directly raid their homes, rebel and exile, and those who have grain will not sell it will directly seal up the grain shop.

In addition, Li Jixin was sent to lead his soldiers to open up the official road so that caravans from other places could enter Beijing.

As a result, almost all the soldiers from the camp in the suburbs of Beijing were mobilized. They cleared the road for dozens of miles in half a day, and then sent people to guard it. Three days later, a caravan carrying a carload of grain entered the road. the capital.

And the secret guard who was watching the movements of the Fifth Prince finally got a clear picture of what she was doing.

On the first day, the white steward under the fifth concubine found a large courtyard in the capital. Even if it snowed heavily, Ren Yazi would have to eat well. After asking for an explanation, Ren Yazi found the place, but the place was a bit out of the way, yes An abandoned house. Fortunately, the doors and windows are still there, so you can live in it after tidying it up.

The house was quickly rented, and the white manager went to the east gate to bring some homeless victims to this house, and promised them that they would get paid after tidying up the house.

These people are all strong-minded people who don't want to eat free food, and they work quickly and don't hide and play tricks. The big house was quickly cleaned up.

The quilts bought from the pawn shop happened to be shipped back, and the white manager said again that the homeless can stay in the house, but they have to work to earn rations, and they can also be exchanged for bedding and cotton clothes by working. .

So dozens of homeless people stayed, and none of them wanted to leave.

The white steward registered these people, and then distributed the clothes and quilts.

The shelter is full of earth kangs. It is no problem to live in a room with fifteen or six people. Men and women live separately. The steward took it out to pull things.

The preparatory work was done for a few days, and during the period, some victims of the disaster joined in. The women did some needlework, made shoes, and changed clothes.
