Chapter 1523 Arrangements
Heavy snow has closed the road, and the road to North Xuzhou is difficult, but the Feng family's army are all people who have been on the battlefield, and they can endure hardships and have better endurance than ordinary officials. It is good for everyone to let them open the road first.

They had already negotiated that Feng Yichen would lead the people there first, and he and Bai Xi would stay and ask people to donate money, trying to spend as much money as possible from the small coffers of corrupt officials.

"The emperor's thinking is that people should donate as much money as possible, and the inexhaustible North Xuzhou will be collected from the national treasury and reserved for other state capitals."

The emperor readily agreed that if he hadn't kept his face, he would have yelled at the officials in the morning to donate money.

Right now, someone has stepped forward to do this, and my goal has been achieved, so I don't need to do it myself.

Ye Haotian responded, and the emperor waved his hand, telling him to leave the palace to prepare, and then sent Eunuch Li out of the palace to invite the Secretary of the Household Department and related officials into the palace.

Because it is the Chinese New Year holiday, there is no need to go to the court to discuss matters during the holiday, so the emperor sent someone to invite important officials to court tomorrow morning. The Minister of the Household Department is the person in charge of money and food. Of course, he has to discuss with the emperor earlier, and then he can issue a decree tomorrow.

Ye Haotian worked with Feng Yichen and Bai Xi in a division of labor. He went to the palace to ask the emperor for an order, and they prepared it outside the palace. The two went to Chenxi Villa in person.

According to the normal situation, the stewards and staff of Chenxi Villa also take their annual leave, but at least half of them did not return to their hometowns for the New Year, and they all lived in the villa, so it was easy for Bai Xi to employ people.

Yang Xinlin, who had received a message from Bai Xi before, had assembled a group of people and was doing defensive work according to her instructions. After Bai Xi arrived, he explained the cause of the incident to everyone.

Knowing that someone spread rumors to frame the villa, the steward and the staff were all filled with righteous indignation, wishing they could roll up their sleeves and go to ruin him.

"Well, the general situation is like this. The porridge still needs to be done. At that time, the government will send officers and soldiers to guard the villa. There should be no trouble. You should pay attention to your own safety."

As long as the state capitals have disaster relief operations, there will not be many people flocking to the capital. If you don't pay attention to the road in this kind of ghost weather, you will die. Most people will not leave their homeland unless they are forced to.

"Yes, Master, we can save it." Everyone replied in unison.

Bai Xi thought for a while and said, "Guard Yang, find a way to quickly notify our people in the prefectures to join the government to set up a shed to give out porridge. We can follow the example of the gourd and mobilize the rich local households to help the victims."

Some stewards hesitated for a while, and said to Bai Xi: "Master, I don't know when the heavy snow will stop. If we keep helping the victims, our master will lose a lot of money.

I know that my boss has a lot of money and kindness, but we set a precedent. If there is any disaster in the future, even if the government will count on the boss to help, if there are more times, the boss and many wealthy households can't afford to lose! "

After the imperial court has tasted the sweetness, it will definitely intensify its efforts to scrape merchants in the future. Whenever there is difficulty, it will try to scrape a layer of grease from merchants, which will damage everyone's excessive interests, and the owner will be hated.

"Natural disasters can't be helped. We want to try our best to help people tide over the difficulties. The imperial court has always wanted to use this method to snatch up merchants. I'm afraid that the position at the top will need to be replaced by someone else.

In addition, we are not doing a good job of making anonymous people accountable to people in various state capitals. All merchants participating in disaster relief will keep an account of the donations, and use them in a clear place for everyone to see. Remember not to deduct the donated money.

If our hands and feet are not clean, we will not beg for food in the property under my name in the future. "
