Chapter 258

"Beautiful sister, can you save my mother? She has been ignoring Ning'er for a long time." This girl named Ning'er is a smart child. Seeing that Qingfeng seems young and good-looking, she called her Pretty sister, although she is telling the truth, she is naturally more flattering in this situation.

"Your name is Ning'er? Then tell me what's going on with your mother, okay?" Qingfeng was rarely made so soft by a little girl's soft look and asked softly about her mother's situation.

Seeing that Qingfeng didn't object, Ning'er seemed a little bolder and took two steps forward, then stretched out her little hand to wipe the worn-out clothes, then stretched out in front of Qingfeng, and pointed to the front There is a place where a group of refugees "sister, my mother is over there, I will take you to see her."

Qingfeng passed his hand over to hold Ning'er's little hand, but when he was about to move forward, he was called by the yamen servant just now. "Girl, it's too dangerous to go alone with all the refugee girls." The yamen servant didn't know that Qingfeng knew martial arts, and thought he was just an ordinary maid.

"It doesn't matter." But Qingfeng thought for a while and said to the yamen servant for the sake of safety: "Why don't you go with me and take care of me if something happens."

The yamen servant looked around, greeted the two or three people around him, and followed Qingfeng and walked towards the refugees.

"This is my mother, sister, help me to see what's wrong with my mother?" Ning'er squatted down in front of a pale woman who was curled up into a ball, and gently pushed the woman's face away with her small hands. Broken hair.

Seeing that Qingfeng was dressed in fine clothes, those refugees were sure that she was not an ordinary person, so they all wanted to rush to her, naturally hoping to get some help or benefits from Qingfeng.

"What are you all doing here? Back off." The yamen servant raised the sword in his hand and shook it at the refugees, who didn't dare to step forward rashly after shaking their bodies, and then saw that Qingfeng was here to see the half-dead woman and then Shrunk back again.

Qingfeng squatted down to check on the woman's condition. The woman's face was pale and her lips were dry and chapped with some blood oozing. She curled up in one place like this again, but her body temperature was not very low. She didn't have any symptoms of fever but her breath was very weak. Although Qingfeng didn't know any medical etiquette, the woman's condition seemed to be very serious. It would be bad if she stayed here, but she naturally didn't have the power to make decisions about such matters, so she stood up again.

"Ning'er, your mother is indeed ill, but my sister can't make the decision. Now, my sister will ask her master, can you take care of your mother here and wait for my sister to come back?"

Ning'er has already regarded Qingfeng as the only noble person who can help her, and she believes what the nobleman said, but after thinking about it, she is afraid that Qingfeng will not come back once she leaves. What is in my heart can't be concealed.

"Sister will definitely come back, don't worry." After Qingfeng reassured her again and again, Ning'er nodded, keeping her eyes on the direction Qingfeng left without daring to blink, for fear that this noble person would disappear in a blink of an eye.

Qingfeng reported the matter to Qi Yunliang, and Qi Yunliang looked in the direction guided by Qingfeng. He was too far away to see clearly, but he could probably see a child looking in their direction. At this time, if someone is seriously ill and ignores it, it is naturally unreasonable, but she can't take him away so recklessly. After thinking about it, she ordered Qingfeng and the yamen servants to send him to a nearby medical center. All the money is paid by her.

Qingfeng listened to Wang Hao's order and carried Ning'er and her mother to a nearby hospital. At this time, the refugees near him all looked envious, as if they wished that they could have a warm place if they were sick too. rest.

After taking care of everything, Qingfeng went back to the Fuya to meet Qi Yunliang, and when he came in, he saw that the master of the Fuya was discussing with the prince and princess, so he stood outside the door and did not go in.When Qi Yunliang saw Qingfeng came back, he knew that everything had been arranged, and he was able to let go of his worries.

"My lord, I will continue to serve porridge tomorrow according to your order. It's just a matter of where these refugees live... Today, my lord also saw that many people couldn't bear to freeze to death. If this continues, I'm afraid that these refugees will cause trouble." .”

"Master Yin is right. It's just that the money approved by the court can only barely support the porridge. The emperor is already worried about this and is trying his best to find a solution."

"Naturally, the emperor Long En, as the parents of these people, thanked the emperor on their behalf." After saying this, Mr. Yin really bowed in the direction of the capital.

It is natural to say that the emperor is thinking of a way, but the money will not always be available, not to mention that such a large group of refugees are supported by the court, and they have to be raised until the beginning of spring. Such a large expenditure is always a problem.The emperor had always been worried that Dong Qi would take the opportunity to provoke him, so he dared not spend a lot of money on this matter, but now this task is a very tricky one.

"My lord, I have a way, maybe I can try it."

Prince Yu knew that Qi Yunliang had always had a lot of tricks, but now that she hadn't said anything yet, Prince Yu felt in his heart that whatever she said might work.

"It would be impossible for such a large number of refugees to be supported by the imperial court alone. People are inherently lazy when they come here. If the imperial court supports them like this, I am afraid that they will not be satisfied after a long time, and the prince and Lord Yin have also decided to leave tomorrow. From the beginning, they started to give out porridge and solved the problem of eating. At this time, living is the biggest concern in their hearts."

"What the princess said is very true." Lord Yin felt very reasonable when he heard Qi Yunliang's analysis. From the perspective of these refugees, they, as the Heyuan emperor and the court, should take care of them. Now there are no large numbers of deaths and earthquakes Before the event passed, their minds were all in fear that they could survive, but after a long time, once the earthquake event passed, what they cared about was how to survive after the disaster.

"I also looked at it today. Most of the refugees in the city are middle-aged people, but there are not many old people, women and children. Therefore, I thought that since they are all strong people, it is better to let them rely on themselves. It is worse than living on the handouts of the court."

"My concubine is a bit puzzled by what she said. How can they rely on themselves now that they are poorly clothed and hungry?"

"Although there was an earthquake in Suining, most of them were in the surrounding counties, and the impact on the city was very small. If these refugees were divided according to the labor force, wouldn't it be better to arrange them to work in some places that need manpower in exchange for food? "

"That's right. If they are self-reliant, they will solve the court's difficulties and at the same time let them live a more active life in order to survive. It doesn't take much. As long as this winter passes through the next spring, they can return to their hometowns and continue to live."

Prince Yu quickly understood the inner meaning of Qi Yunliang's method. Now these refugees rely on their own labor to make a living. If there is a place to take them in, they will naturally live well and will not cause trouble.

"Wangfei's method is good, but old women and children are incapable of working, so what should I do?"

"It's not difficult. If there are men who can work in the family, they can be divided into families. If there are no men in the family, they can buy a big house in Suining and gather these people who can't work together, but they can't raise them in vain. With them, the women will do some mending and washing work, and those who work harder will get more money, and the imperial court will give them enough money to survive if they are really unable to work."
