Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 526

However, Gong Zhiming came up with a good strategy to think about on the road. Dong Hao had also suffered a disaster before, and he was also on an expedition at that time, but Ding Wei worked together with the courtiers to relieve the disaster, and unexpectedly reduced the impact of the disaster to a minimum.Afterwards, he discussed it carefully with Fang Xin, and it was an excellent strategy for disaster relief.

That is to mobilize the people to donate and support each other. In addition, they use labor instead of labor and use the manpower of the victims to replace corvee. It is simply an act of two benefits.

Sure enough, when the disaster relief strategy was mentioned, all civil and military officials were all bright-eyed, and even an old man asked excitedly who came up with this good strategy.

Gong Zhiming just smiled and didn't answer. It's not that he wants to steal his wife's intelligence as his own, but that he prefers to keep all her beauty for himself, and he is unwilling to let outsiders peep at half of it...

When they got up early the next day, the news spread outside the south city gate. The victims thought that even if the promise made by the general yesterday was fulfilled, it would be nothing more than sending someone to build a shed for them, or guaranteeing a daily bowl of porridge.Unexpectedly, the city gate that had been closed to them for so long was suddenly opened wide.

In the bustling capital city, even the capital city they have never set foot in their entire lives, there is a place in the north of the city that has already prepared a residence for them. The elderly and children don't have to suffer from the cold anymore, and as long as they work hard, they can earn enough food to fill their stomachs.

After escaping, refusing to enter the city, separation of family members, etc., when they suddenly heard such good news, everyone couldn't believe it.After being urged by the soldiers responsible for guiding the victims into the city, everyone woke up like a dream.

The young and strong helped the old and the young, took broken bowls, carried tattered bags on their backs, and walked into the city slowly with frost, cold wind and apprehensive hearts.

In the capital city, although it has long been heard that there are disaster victims gathering outside the city, most of the people have never seen what the disaster victims look like because soldiers sealed the city gate.

At this moment, they were a little shocked to see the emaciated, emaciated men, women and children who suddenly appeared in front of them.

Farmers who come to the capital on weekdays, whether they are delivering mountain products to restaurants, or going to the market to sell vegetables and sundries, even if they are busy, most of them are clean and tidy.But today's disaster victims are like lotus roots fished out of bitter water, their expressions are listless, the old man's complexion is blue and purple, as if he will die at any time, the women can't even cover their bodies with some clothes, and the thin children can be blown away by the wind , timidly looking at the dim sum shops or restaurants on both sides of the road like a little beast, drooling...

How pitiful, how pitiful!

It turned out that the disaster victims outside the city looked like this, they were all the people of Dayue, the folks raised by Jin Heshui, how could they be so miserable?
The old lady at a steamed stuffed bun stand by the road really couldn't see the pitiful appearance of those children. She opened the drawer, grabbed the steaming steamed buns and stuffed them into the children's hands, "Son, ma'am, eat the steamed stuffed buns, eat quickly, eat quickly!"

It happened that these children had no parents, and they were starved to death on the way to escape. Now they suddenly got meat buns, and they wanted to refuse, but their stomachs and hands violated their original intention.

So, beside the bustling street, in the cold wind, a child in unlined clothes stuffed buns into his mouth, kowtowed violently, and sobbed, which made everyone feel sad.

"Get up, kid, don't kowtow, eat, the aunt still has a lot of steamed stuffed buns, I'm full!"

The old lady looked sad, and her eyes were red. Although her family was not rich, at least her grandson had enough buns.How could it be more pitiful than the child in front of him!
While talking, she stuffed a few more meat buns into the children's hands, and finally opened the cage drawer, grabbed the buns and stuffed them into the hands of passing victims, no matter men or women, old or young.

After suffering from hunger for two months, no one could resist seeing the steamed stuffed buns. The victims were like children, kowtowing and stuffing stuffed buns into their mouths.

Everyone was stunned, and before they could recover, there was a small captain who followed the victims and maintained order, and shouted loudly, "The emperor has already ordered that those who kindly help the victims will be rewarded by the court. Aunt Liu's steamed stuffed bun stall won the prize." The title of the first pack of Dai Viet will be given a plaque today."

Dai Viet first bag?This is a nondescript title, I am afraid that the small lieutenant did not read much, so he got the title casually, but the person who instructed him to do this was the person on the throne of Dai Viet, the new emperor who returned with power, the heaven of thousands of people !
Dozens of steamed stuffed buns have been changed to such a title of No. [-] in the world. If Aunt Liu’s kindness is a grass, the reward is a tree full of fruits, which is more than a thousand times ten thousand times...

Everyone's envious eyes were a little red, especially those merchants, imagining that if they also got an imperial plaque, wouldn't the future generations not be starved to death no matter how ignorant the business is.

Some people did it when they thought of it, and the shopkeeper of a grain and oil shop was the first to shout out, "Fengshou Grain Shop is willing to donate [-] tans of all stored grain to the victims of the disaster!"

Sure enough, the little captain only glanced at the shopkeeper of the grain and oil shop and shouted loudly, "Fund Harvest Grain Shop, Dai Viet's No. [-] Good Heart Grain Shop, a plaque will be given on a certain day."

"Boom!" The merchants who were still watching and eagerly looking forward to it were immediately blown up when they heard this.

Three hundred dans of grain can be exchanged for a plaque rewarded by the court. This deal is simply a bargain.

"I donate four hundred dans of food!"

"I donate a thousand catties of flour!"

"I...I donate [-] sesame seed cakes!"

"I…"

All of a sudden, the crowd on the long street was turbulent, and the voices of donating food and food came one after another, shouting loudly.

The little lieutenant seemed to have been prepared for a long time. This time, he didn't shout for rewards, but waved his hand to signal the soldiers around him to disperse to both sides of the long street.

Each soldier held a pencil and an account book, and the names and quantities of all merchants or wealthy families who wanted to donate materials were recorded.

The disaster victims are not fools either. Seeing this, there is nothing they don't understand.

The new emperor has returned, and no one dares to deduct their rations. These donations, rice grains and white noodles will be eaten in their stomachs, and those cotton cloths will be made into cotton clothes and worn on them. Once you fall down, you can't wake up again.

"Woooo, thank you Bodhisattvas for your kindness!"

"Thank you, fathers, fellow villagers, for your kindness!"

The victims knelt down and kowtowed one after another, causing the merchants who were still thinking about profit-seeking to blush with guilt, bent over to help, and gritted their teeth to add two more layers of supplies.

After such tossing, all the victims entered the camp in the north of the city. Although there were only empty houses and tents, everyone was smiling.The young and strong men began to look for the tools at hand to clear the snow in the camp, the women looked for wells to fetch water, boiled water, and cleaned up the houses and tents, even the children tried their best to wash their little faces and hands.

Soon, the food was brought in, and the stoves where the soldiers used to make rice were still there, and the porridge could be cooked directly by installing a large pot.

When the camp was filled with fragrant rice, the merchants who were afraid that the court would lose their rewards brought all the food they had promised.

The victims were a little confused, Cheng Dayou and General Qiao appeared in time, the soldiers shouted and everyone lined up.

There are 50 people living in each barracks, 20 people in each tent, a quilt for every two people, a bowl and a pair of chopsticks for each person, and cotton and cloth are gathered in several barracks. Coat and trousers are the same as cotton shoes.

As for the old quilts and old clothes and trousers donated by the people in the city, they can be distributed to the elderly and children first.

After tossing like this until midnight, after two months, the victims who had eaten most of their food were finally wrapped in quilts, sleeping in tents and barracks that no longer leaked air, and closed their eyes with peace of mind. Lying again in the thatched shed that could be blown away by the wind at any time, it takes a long time to look around before falling asleep again.

In the palace, the lights were brightly lit, and the new Hubu Shangshu, who had escaped the catastrophe, was leading his subordinates to step up the calculation of the materials donated by the entire city.

I didn't pay attention to these small "meat" like mosquito legs, but the more people counted, the more frightened they became.

The strength of the people is enormous, especially at such a time. The neighbors in the east courtyard donated two sets of quilts, and the west courtyard donated two sets of old jackets and trousers. When we arrive at our own house, we will need a little more. One set, another basket of pancakes...

In this way, gathered together, in just one day, more than 1 sets of cotton-padded clothes and quilts, as well as more than 1000 pairs of cotton-padded shoes of different sizes, together with various grains, food, and supplies, the court only needs to fill in. A small portion is enough for the victims to survive this winter.

There have always been famines in Da Viet, and the imperial court has provided grain and silver for relief. Of course, after layers of "peeling", there is not much in the hands of the victims, but the imperial court has always contributed.

If any more victims die or suffer heavy losses, it will be a natural and man-made disaster, which has nothing to do with the court or the monarch and his ministers.

Now it seems that someone suddenly opened a skylight in the originally narrow house, and it suddenly became clear. Everyone was amazed that the disaster relief can be done like this, and the people can be mobilized to work together with a few simple names. Let's fight disaster together.

The problem that caused headaches for all civil and military officials was easily solved...

When Gong Zhiming came back after dinner, he saw that all the officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs looked weird, so he didn't care, and threw out another note.

The [-] disaster victims were divided into several groups according to their old and weak, except those who were sick and unable to get up, and assigned work.

The young and strong men went to dig the moat, widened and deepened it. The elderly took brooms to sweep the remaining snow on the streets of the capital. The older children were taught to read and write in the morning and collected firewood in the afternoon.The women take care of the three meals and hot water for the entire camp, and take care of the young children.

In this way, there are no idlers in the camp except for the sick. Even if someone with a heart wants to sneak in and provoke one or two, the victims will not take the time to listen.

Compared with the previous days when there was no food and clothing and waiting for the call of death at any time, now it is like heaven to have food, clothing and shelter.It's nothing to do some work, not to mention fleeing abroad now, even if you are at home in good times, you can't be idle in winter.
