Chapter 260: Giving Porridge 2 Updates

Gu Huanxi's vision was limited, and she could only vaguely see someone walking among the victims, maintaining order, and she could even vaguely hear scolding, but she was not sure whether they were from Jingwu Academy, so she told Wei Liang, "You Get off the car and go closer to see if there are any students from Jingwu Academy inside."

Wei Liang is a stick-minded person, "Madam, I will not allow this slave to leave your side."

"I'm in the car. There's no danger. Isn't Mr. Hu still here? Just go and take a look and come back."

"Sorry, madam, the master said that once you leave the house, you are not allowed to go more than three meters away from you."

"..."

Gu Huanxi really had no way to deal with such a stubborn person. Fortunately, Hu Yingjie jumped out of the car to rescue him, "I'll go."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work..."

Hu Yingjie strode away.

When Gu Huanxi saw him approaching, someone happened to come out of the sea of ​​people. Hu Yingjie, no matter how reticent he was, knew how to seize the opportunity, so he came up to talk. Since they were far apart, she couldn't hear what the two of them said. Can wait patiently.

Gu Xiaoyu also lay down at the window and looked out. His eyes were complicated, mixed with pity, helplessness, sadness, and relief. All kinds of emotions were stirring in his heart, making him murmur involuntarily, "Mom, is this a good thing?"

Gu Huanxi nodded, "It's naturally good to help the victims."

Even if it's not sincere, the result is always right.

"But, but, only those people are willing to face up to the disaster relief issue and are willing to work hard and shed blood because of the thunder and lightning from the sky. How sad is this?"

Gu Huanxi found it difficult to accept these words, so he had to say, "I don't know the whole story, so I won't comment. Maybe the court has its own helplessness and there are trade-offs that we don't know about."

Gu Xiaoyu whispered, "After all, it was a breach of responsibility..."

"It's not too late to make up for it." It's not that Gu Huanxi is looking for help for the current emperor, but according to the memory of the original owner, when the current emperor ascended the throne, he also had a wise emperor who worked hard to govern. It was when he was the prince in Qiandi, There is a good reputation for benevolence to the people. These cannot be faked. The original owner had limited knowledge and might be deceived. However, his father Gu Jian was not a pedantic person who only knew how to read. He also praised the current Emperor Jianxing. He is expected to Created a prosperous age, so the current inaction of the court may not be his fault alone.

A bit of light ignited in Gu Xiaoyu's eyes, but then went out again just as he thought of something.

At this time, Hu Yingjie came back and replied far away from the window, "There are indeed students wearing long robes from Jingwu Academy who are maintaining order. There are quite a lot of them and they have quite a momentum. The victims are still peaceful for the time being, but there are some I was in a hurry to divide the porridge. The shed where the porridge was cooked was built by the Changle Marquis Mansion. I couldn't get close to take a look, so I asked someone. The other person said that the porridge was quite thick and was not mixed with rice soup."

Some people are reluctant to put in too much food when giving porridge, and the porridge they make is clear and watery, which makes them not hungry at all. It is just a perfunctory job.

It seems that the Changlehou Mansion was indeed intimidated and started to provide disaster relief honestly.

"Have you seen Ah Li's father?"

"No, the person I asked said that there are several disaster relief sites, and many high-ranking families have set up tents to give porridge. It is said that because there are so many good people, they have to come in order and take turns, otherwise they will not be able to open outside the city gate. There are many sheds, and Jingwu Academy is one of them, but it is the most well-prepared. In addition to giving porridge, it also boils medicine on site and invites doctors to consult. Therefore, that area is where the largest number of victims gather. I guess Third Brother Xu should be on duty there. , do you want to go over and take a look?"

Gu Huanxi wanted to go and see it, but she was not arrogant enough to control the current situation. If something went wrong, she could hide in the RV with her daughter, but what about the others?

Therefore, she still did what she could and shook her head, "Forget it, just take a look here. Going forward is too risky. Who knows what will happen."

Wei Liang secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Hu Yingjie was not surprised and recommended himself, "Then I'll go and take a look alone."

"No, it's too dangerous."

"In addition to Jingwu Academy, there are also Jingzhao Mansion and the fifth-level Military and Horse Department. They have all sent people. There shouldn't be any problems. I will come back as soon as I go."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Gu Huanxi couldn't stop him and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was also a stubborn person.

After Hu Yingjie left, porridge began to be served in the sheds not far away. The crowd became restless, and even though there were people maintaining order, they felt a little uneasy.

Gu Huanxi immediately said, "Wei Liang, turn around and stay farther away."

If something really happened, it would be too late to run.

Wei Liang immediately jumped on the cart, drove the mule cart, turned around, and drove forward a short distance.

"Stop it."

"Yes, ma'am."

Looking at it now, the soup kitchen scene has been barely controlled. Although there is still some chaos and noise, mixed with the crying of children, fortunately, no one takes action.

The victims lined up in long lines and moved forward quite quickly. They were probably afraid that the people behind would cause trouble if they were waiting in a hurry, so the people responsible for scooping out the porridge were all very agile, each person had a big spoonful, and they were impartial and divided. The victims who arrived at the porridge immediately left the crowd and went to find a place to drink.

No one dared to skip drinking, for fear of being robbed. After the food was no longer hot, they all devoured it. Only when it is eaten in the stomach is it their own.

This is the most profound realization for the victims.

Someone knocked on the gong and shouted at the top of his voice, "Those who have received the porridge once are not allowed to queue again. Once discovered, they will be severely punished. Don't rush and don't rob. There will be more in the afternoon. How did the porridge just now go? You guys also Everyone has seen that the emperor's kindness is so great, and the Marquis of Changle has a compassionate heart. He donated two hundred thousand taels of silver to raise food to relieve the victims. This food is enough for you to eat for several months. Other nobles also donated food, and there are people in nearby places. We set up a shed to serve porridge, so we don’t have to worry about being hungry again.”

These words had some effect, and indeed played a certain role in stabilizing people's hearts. People's restless mood gradually eased, but their desire for food remained undiminished.

The sound of the gong sounded again, with the same loud voice just now, and he shouted again, "Winter is coming soon. Sleeping in the wilderness is not a problem after all. You will get sick from the cold with nothing to eat." It’s useless, so it’s more serious to settle down in the village as soon as possible. Is there anyone who wants to settle down in the village? If so, go to the gate of the city and go to the Jingzhao Mansion to go through the relevant procedures. It’s free and no money is charged. Just If you are willing to take root in the village, you can receive a certain amount of food, so you don’t have to queue up here to get porridge, and you can live a stable life..."

These words were so powerful that many victims gathered around to ask.

Gu Huanxi couldn't hear it, but she could guess that he was just asking how much he could receive, how to deal with the house and land, etc., and what could Jingzhao Mansion give? In addition to food and permission to open up wasteland for farming, there are no other subsidies. This policy is attractive, but it is only targeted at the victims who still have money hidden in them. Those who are penniless and have no strong laborers in their families are Those who dare not settle in the village will not be able to keep their food if they are divided.

Therefore, in this step, we can only persuade a small number of people to retreat. As for resettling most of the victims, we have to look at the second step. Gu Huanxi has seen the plan written by Xu Huaiyi. The second step is more reliable, but he doesn’t know what the Ministry of Household Affairs can do. Agree no.
