Chapter 1536

The emperor was angry, but he picked two powerful princes from the mother clan and prepared to let them go with the disaster relief team. The emperor still did not want Ye Haotian to dominate, and he is still guarding against the Feng family.

If it was a civil servant, he would naturally not take strict precautions, but the Feng family was a military officer, and only the mutiny of the military officer in the past dynasties would lead to a change of dynasty. As the emperor, he had to guard against it.

In the early morning of the next day, Bai Xi led Qingyun and his team to the north, occasionally opening the window on the way, and seeing the tragic scene, everywhere in the snow, various human figures protruded, some lying flat, some curled up, and even more... Some people were stripped of their clothes after death.

The more you go north, the more common this situation is. Bai Xi was really worried that bandits would gather to rob the food convoy, but fortunately, what she was worried about didn't happen. Three days later, she met Feng Yichen and others in the capital city of North Xuzhou.

There was a long queue outside the government office, and the common people were waiting to receive food. Congee sheds were set up in the southeast, northwest, and corners of the city. Outside the officers and soldiers, some ordinary people were recruited to help with work.

North Xuzhou was the first place to receive relief food. Refugees who were a little closer all flocked to the city. The city of North Xuzhou was already crowded with people.

Before Ye Haotian and others arrived, Feng Yichen had already sent several groups of people to transport a batch of grain to the county under Beixuzhou, and asked them to assist the county magistrate in the local disaster relief, so as to reduce the pressure on the prefecture and make it easier for the people to save their lives.

After Bai Xi arrived, she mainly worked with the doctors to treat the common people, and she didn't have to worry about other things.

It seems that there is a lot of food shipped in, but I can't help but look at the refugees eating. Although the porridge is relatively clear, Feng Yichen discussed with Ye Haotian about buying food.

"The grain stores in Fucheng were almost sold out, so we had to find a way to buy grain from the rich households who were stockpiling grain, but I asked several of them, and they all said that the grain at home was only enough for their own food, and we had to do extraordinary things. "

When Feng Yichen said this, Ye Haotian said: "They definitely want to sell at a high price after the disaster, and those who want to make money from the disaster will not be spared. Since they do not cooperate, it is not too much to cut them off."

Seeing Feng Yichen nod, Bai Xi frowned and said, "You two just want to fight hard, that's no different from robbing, killing people is even wrong, Haotian, you are a prince, you have to be soft on the outside and strong on the inside, you must not Give someone a handle.

The imperial court's taxes mainly come from wealthy households, so they must not be easily moved, and a more tactful solution must be found. "

"Hey, I'm very anxious. Dead bodies are everywhere. Those people don't have the slightest bit of mercy. Yichen always says that they are eloquent and eloquent. People don't believe their good words, so they can't wait forever."

Crowds of people outside are waiting to eat, and there is no time to delay.

Feng Yichen looked at Bai Xi, "What idea did you come up with?"

"Haotian came forward to invite a few wealthy households in Fucheng to the government office. We will not use force. We will starve them for two days before going to negotiate terms and guarantee that they will agree."

Not to mention starving for two days, those people will not be able to hold on if they are hungry for one day. When they are in the government's territory, they will have to force food out. How dare they not show face when the prince comes forward?
"Hungry? Xixi's move is really bad, they fainted from hunger..." Ye Haotian spoke, Feng Yichen coughed, and he immediately said: "I'll go to the magistrate to invite someone together."

After taking him away, Bai Xi asked Feng Yichen again: "I brought so much food, it should be able to last for a while, why are you so busy buying food?"

Bai Xi doesn't understand the disaster relief system, and she has many questions in her heart.
