The concubine is enchanting: the favorite princess

Chapter 217 Feng Yao Feels
After another two days of walking in this heavy snow, we have already seen victims fleeing on the road.Feng Yao ordered to open a large cart and distribute the food and items on it, and at the same time gathered these people together to inquire about the situation ahead.

Hearing that the eldest princess came all the way from the capital in the wind and snow, and distributed these things, the victims were naturally moved.They all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank the emperor, and thank the eldest princess.

Fengyao has ministers kneel down in the court and slaves in the palace, but this is the first time that Fengyao has been genuinely bowed down by the common people.Hearing everyone's thanks again, there was warmth in his heart, and he hated himself for coming late and not giving these people an arrangement earlier.

But after all, the road ahead is still long, and the head of the official department reminded Feng Yao: "Princess, this place has just entered the northern border, and the hardest-hit place is still ahead. Now these things..."

Feng Yao understood what he meant, because he was afraid that these things were actually a drop in the bucket, and he was afraid that this journey would not be enough to distribute halfway.Moreover, they have no back-up, and they are afraid that they will be unable to help the last and poorest places, and it is not fun for those disaster victims to make trouble.

In fact, that’s how people are. It’s obvious that you took out the money to help them, but you still have to think about whether someone else took it before them, and whether you will receive more disaster funds from other places.After such non-stop comparisons, there will always be people who are dissatisfied and resentful, which is more likely to cause accidents.

Feng Yao nodded, and ordered the soldiers to reassemble the untied cart, and then said to the victims: "This disaster relief, in fact, has mobilized all the money that can be mobilized from the treasury, as well as my personal money. There are many ministers in the DPRK and China for donations. But after all, there are too many people, the road ahead is far away, and there are tens of thousands of victims. Although you don’t get much today, there are always people who are more in danger than you. So we can only That's it. But I will order the nearby towns and state capitals to resettle you, so that you won't be starving for the winter. As long as it lasts until next spring, the emperor has promised to open warehouses to release grain and seeds. Let everyone return to farming."

What Feng Yao said was reasonable, not to mention that a slender woman could stand up in the wind and snow and comfort everyone with convincing words, which would indeed make these common people understand the difficulties of the court better.And when he heard Fengyao's promise that there would be food and crops next spring, he was naturally happy.

Some even stood up and pledged that they were willing to lead these disaster victims to relatively affluent towns as a leader, and restrain everyone from committing illegal acts due to hunger and cold.

Feng Yao was very happy to hear that, and immediately thought that this was a good way.In the future, as long as there are a large number of disaster victims, one or two highly respected or responsible leaders can be selected from them to be responsible for the unified control and management of these people, and it can also prevent people from taking the opportunity to cause chaos.If you encounter some small groups of scattered people, you can form a team nearby for easy management.

Immediately, Fengyao ordered these victims to push out the two leaders, and the two of them will discuss things in the future, so that they can take care of them.

Then Feng Yao personally picked up a pen, wrote a document, handed it to one of them, and explained: "This document states: The two of you are leading disaster victims, and the local state capital should provide reasonable resettlement. The officials of the state government will definitely not embarrass you when they see the document. You will return to your hometown next spring, and naturally there will be food and seeds distributed by the court."

After explaining, Fengyao ordered someone to record the names, numbers, and origins of these victims, so as to prepare for the distribution of supplies next year.There are more than 200 victims in this line, and half a book has been recorded.

However, seeing Feng Yao being so careful, they didn't drop some money and leave like imperial envoys in the past, no matter whether they live or die tomorrow, they were naturally more convinced.When he left, he repeatedly assured that no one would do anything against the law.

And this is just the beginning.Since that day, I have encountered many disaster victims every day.A group of victims, about 300 to [-] people, escaped from one or two adjacent villages after being hit by the disaster; some people encountered a group of thousands of people, and the people in a small town could not stand the hunger and cold, so they migrated. from.

Moreover, Feng Yao learned that these escaped people are actually still a minority, and more people are reluctant to leave their family property or their homeland, or they don't even have the strength to escape, so they simply wait at home to die.Some villages were suddenly hit by a snowstorm, and almost all the people in the village were buried in the snow, and there were very few people who could escape.

The more Feng Yao heard it, the more startled and distressed he became.In the capital, she still felt that being imprisoned in the palace this time was a great injustice and an extremely difficult situation.But I didn't expect that some people are actually so miserable that they have to leave their homes, and there is nowhere to escape; it is so sad that even the hope of life is wiped out by the disaster all at once.

At this time, Feng Yao felt that his past self was too ridiculous and too selfish.The world is so big and there are so many people, how many places and how many people have to suffer from such displacement and suffering from hunger and cold every year?
Feng Yao sat up straight on the horse, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, thinking in his heart, how many people like this are there in places she can't see?I couldn't help feeling pity in my heart, and ordered: "Count up the supplies. If you encounter disaster victims and distribute them vigorously, don't take too much into consideration. If you encounter towns and cities ahead, I will figure out a solution myself."

Those petty officials and soldiers who followed Feng Yao all the way from the capital also saw all the sufferings in the world, so with Feng Yao's words, they naturally worked harder.Whenever we encounter disaster victims again, we will naturally give more money for resettlement and add an extra padded jacket.The record books are getting thicker and more detailed.

Although less than three of the ten carts were left in a few days, all the victims who walked over and were resettled all praised Feng Yao.After thanking the emperor for his kindness, he kowtowed to Feng Yao like a bodhisattva.

Just one month later, all the materials in the eight carts had been distributed, and the other box of silver was also empty.There is only one tin box left, which contains less than 10 taels of silver.And the journey is only halfway through.

Zhuang Yi and Li, the head of the official department, finally couldn't bear it any longer. When they found Feng Yao, they showed embarrassment, "Princess, if this continues, I'm afraid I won't even be able to reach Fancheng. Let alone Fancheng. There is a city of Yan, which is the northernmost place and the city that was the hardest hit by the disaster."

Feng Yao waved his hand and said: "Don't worry. There is a big city thirty miles ahead, which is the hub of communication. There is also news that the situation there is good, and the traffic has not been cut off due to the snow. We can repair it there and start over again. Buy supplies, supplies and go on the road.”
