Chapter 251 Benefits or Benefits?

In just two days, there was an endless stream of horses on the official roads of Chang'an City, and the details of the disasters in various states and counties came one after another, and the corresponding disaster relief orders were quickly sent back.

Five states and more than a dozen counties were affected by the disaster at the same time. This situation was unprecedented. As more and more news came, the severity of the disaster gradually became clear.

If one is not handled well, the foundation that Meng Chen has worked so hard to build may fall apart. Such a price is unbearable for Meng Chen.

But the good news is not without it, at least the territories of other princes from all walks of life were also affected, so Meng Chen doesn't have to worry about someone taking advantage of the fire to rob.

The disaster must be rescued, but how to save it, how to save it, Meng Chen has no idea in his heart, this is the first time he has encountered such a thing.

Due to the limitation of knowledge, even Liu Bowen and Jia Xu thought of the same old way!
It is nothing more than exempting taxes to appease the people, and then allocating money and food to keep the people alive. As for the rest, we can only resign ourselves to fate.

Since ancient times, this method of disaster relief has been tried and tested.

If the court's finances are good, there may be no problem, but if the court's finances are tight, the people can only fend for themselves.

Why did Zhang Jiao and others respond to all the calls?Could it really be the effect of "Taiping Essentials"?

A wise person will know if they think about it with their brains, if the common people were not forced to have nowhere to go, how could they rise up!
Although Meng Chen has no clue about disaster relief, he is still a person from later generations, and his broad vision is not comparable to that of the ancients.

There is a famous saying in later generations that "disaster is an order", Meng Chen also conveyed this sentence, soldiers defend their homes and country in wartime, and even more so in peacetime.

In the study of the General's Mansion, Meng Chen stood up abruptly, and then issued a general order to Liu Bowen and Jia Xu that has been passed down through the ages.

"Order all the counties, except to retain the necessary troops to maintain law and order, starting from the general's mansion guards, the three armies will mobilize all the reserves, and try their best to rush through the roads, deliver food and grass, and repair houses. This Marquis wants all the people under his rule to have Food to eat, clothes to shelter from the cold, and houses to live in.”

Hearing the words, Liu Bowen and Jia Xu were slightly startled. Could it be that my lord has lost his mind and gone crazy?

But if you think about it carefully, if you do this, the lord's reputation will definitely increase after this disaster is over.

"My lord, do you want to keep it..." Jia Xu asked, trying to persuade Meng Chen to save some money, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous if a war broke out.

"There is nothing to keep. What are the soldiers bleeding and sacrificing on the battlefield?" Meng Chen said loudly.

"In order to serve the imperial court and honor the ancestors? No, the soldiers are for the unarmed common people, and for their families and future generations to live a good life."

"If you don't work hard now, when will you wait!"

Liu Bowen was dumbfounded, Jia Xu was dumbfounded, but Meng Chen's words made people feel excited!

After a few breaths, Liu Bowen and Jia Xu looked at each other, and then said in unison: "Here!"

It can be seen that the eyes of these two elders are full of energy, and the passion in their chests has been ignited by Meng Chen's words.

After returning to the backyard, Meng Chen summoned his family members: "Yan'er, from today onwards, all the female family members in the mansion will start weaving as much as they can. The people are affected by disasters, so you can't be idle."

"Your husband has a life, how can I not obey!" The girls stood up and bowed slowly.

Meng Chen nodded, and said with a smile: "It is said that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world, but this Marquis thinks that there is no distinction between the north and the south, and people regardless of men, women, old and young, and everyone is responsible!"

Meng Chen's general order and the news of the general's mansion spread like wildfire, and even the emperor in the palace silently shed two lines of tears after hearing about it.

What does it mean to love the people like a son, he is definitely not an emperor, and those officials in the world are also not qualified, but Meng Chen can afford such a title.

All of a sudden, the entire city of Chang'an was in turmoil, and the first one to follow suit was the emperor. Although the fake emperor was suspected of flattering, the influence of the emperor was enormous.

The Mi family and the Fu family followed closely behind. Mi Zhu and Fu Wan are not stupid. This is the best time to accumulate popularity.

Of course, the price paid is huge, but in order to respond to Meng Chen's call, no matter how big the price is, it is worth paying.

As the old saying goes, as much as you pay, you will get as much as you get!

It's the same even when he followed Meng Chen to Ezhen's house in Chang'an just now.

At the headquarters of the Penguin Chamber of Commerce, a fat body stood in front of the crowd, talking loudly with his three-inch tongue.

"President Shen, don't say anything, without the support of the general, we wouldn't be here today!"

"Yes, at this time, we Jiashang can't just stand by and watch."

"That's right, I donate half of my property, don't let anyone stop me!"

"Hmph, it seems like we don't dare to donate."

Most of the businessmen were noisy, but Shen Wansan was smiling all over his face.

It seems that the task of the owner's bus agent can be completed ahead of schedule.

Merchants are all profit-seeking, Shen Wansan did not expect the large area affected by the disaster and Meng Chen's determination to rescue the disaster.

However, the more you give, the more you will definitely get in the future. The guys in the Penguin Chamber of Commerce are getting smarter and smarter.

"President Shen!" Just as everyone clamored how much they wanted to donate, a non-positive Chinese voice came out.

"Abraji, this is a matter of the Central Plains, you don't need to participate." Shen Wansan looked around and found that the person who spoke was a businessman from the Western Regions Branch who just arrived yesterday.

"The president's words are wrong. We are also members of the chamber of commerce. Since the general is mobilizing, the Western Regions branch cannot be missed."

"This……"

Shen Wansan was a little dumbfounded. Although the Western Regions branch has a strong momentum of development, do they really need to participate in the Central Plains affairs?

After pondering for a while, Shen Wansan suddenly realized that he had turned the corner. According to the current development momentum, the goal of the Penguin Chamber of Commerce is the whole world.

Since it is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, it is only natural to contribute.

"Well, since the Western Regions Branch has voluntarily joined, the president hereby thanks you all."

What Shen Wan said was very clear, this matter is completely voluntary, and it is enough to donate more or less, just express your attitude.

However, how could this group of merchants from the Western Regions Branch not see clearly the fact that the Central Plains merchants could see it clearly.

If it wasn't for the fact that their home was thousands of miles away, they would have wished to donate all their property.

"Abraji is willing to donate all the proceeds from this visit, and another colleague is willing to lend [-] gold. Abraji is very grateful."

"Hiss!" Everyone present took a breath, and Abraji's courage made everyone admire him.

You know, it's not easy for a caravan from the Western Regions to come and go.

Under normal circumstances, there are at most two round trips a year, and Abraji has to borrow [-] gold, which is not a small investment.

"Hahaha, good! The president personally borrowed [-] gold from you, and an additional [-] gold. There is no need to type an IOU. The president believes in his own vision."

As soon as Shen Wansan opened his mouth, the noisy scene immediately calmed down. He borrowed [-] and added [-]. I am afraid that except for Shen Wansan, no one else has such ability.
