The Concubine of the Red Chamber is a little flower essence

Emperor Qianyuan listened to the queen's suggestion.

At the beginning of the winter month of this year, there were indeed refugees coming to Beijing.

The question was nothing more than that there was a flood in Shandong. After the flood, houses collapsed, fields were submerged, and grain production was reduced.

He asked if he had received relief food, and he said he had.

Because there was no overnight food in the family, a little relief could not support the whole family through the winter, and they owed rent to the landlord and taxes from the government, so they had to beg.

Shuntian Mansion reported the situation to the imperial court. This group of refugees were landless peasants, whose production had been reduced due to the disaster. The rent of the landlords had not been reduced, and the government had not met to pay taxes.

Why do you want to go to Kyoto?

The refugee said, I heard that the empress recruited female officials and wanted to send her daughter to the palace, and got 20 taels of silver to go back to pay the rent and taxes.

Emperor Qianyuan's face was only red: he took the queen's silver and paid him taxes.

Emperor Qianyuan ordered Beicheng Bingma Division and Shuntian Mansion to work together to resettle the victims.

This cooperation is that Shuntian Prefecture cooperates with the Huimin Department to resettle those refugees who do not want to go north.

Bingmasi resettled those refugees who were willing to become military households.

Xiaohuajing did not interfere with the resettlement, but has been secretly paying attention.

On the first day, the Northward Transfer of Refugees was not very popular with refugees.

Everyone is afraid of being fooled, and some people worry that the north is too cold to bear.

Because the immigration conditions are very favorable, some people still apply.

First of all, the registered participants and their family members were resettled immediately and went to the refugee camp of the Nanyuan Huimin Administration.

Not to mention eating and drinking well, the soldiers put on brand new cotton jackets and trousers.

The family members also put on cotton-padded clothes and trousers donated by kind-hearted people in Kyoto, which are probably [-]% new.

From the second day onwards, the number of applicants gradually increased.

This group of immigrants will only go north after the beginning of the new year. Before that, the refugees were not idle. The men participated in dredging the river, cutting wood to burn charcoal, and digging coal to make briquettes.

Women participate in the sewing of military quilts.

There are not many sewing jobs for military quilts, and immigrants who go north are given priority.

This is also a strategy of Xiaohuajing to support Emperor Qianyuan's immigration.

In the twelfth lunar month, the weather became colder, and the number of people who signed up to migrate north increased.

From [-] households, it increased sharply to [-] households.

A penny beats a hero.

The food and clothing of the whole family made the male in the family hemorrhagic.

The [-] households showed that Bingmasi had recruited [-] strong men who were willing to garrison in Liaodong.

These 800 people were directly incorporated into the Beicheng Bingma Division and began to practice.

Going north next year, he can basically be used as a veteran, standing guard and patrolling.

For the first time, 800 people were recruited, and Emperor Qianyuan was very happy.

In the past, the imperial court used the army to drive away immigrants. Some people could not leave their homeland, and many tragic things happened.

These eight hundred households are happy, and the whole family is happy.

However, when registering the roster, it was found that most of the people willing to be transferred to the north were poor and hired farmers from Shandong, Shaanxi, and Shanxi.

The people of Hebei, Jiangxi, Hubei and Henan who were originally from these places were unwilling to go outside the customs even if they were beaten to death.

They would rather go back to their hometown to beg for food.

The increase in the number of people in the twelfth lunar month is too fast, and the inventory of clothes is insufficient.

Xiao Huajing launched another fundraising campaign at the meritorious families, and quickly raised enough clothes and bedding for these families who were willing to go north.

Of course, those refugees who would rather beg for food than become landlords through their hands did not ignore them.

It's just that the food and clothing are worse, and the clothes that are shared are thinner and more torn.

It is cold in the north, and fur-like clothes are given priority to them.

Seeing these people, the Empress Dowager would rather shiver in the cold wind than participate in work-for-relief. The refugees were transferred to the north, and she sighed: "It's just laziness to say that the homeland is hard to leave."

Xiao Huajing said: "Who says it is not? My daughter-in-law has asked carefully, and they are all poor and hired farmers without land. The difficulty of leaving their homeland is just an excuse for fear of hardship and tiredness.

It is said that if you are poor, you want to change. These people would rather die of laziness and starvation than be flexible.The queen mother doesn't know, there is something rare in Kyoto right now than those who would rather beg for food than go north.

There is a family fleeing famine. There are two sons and two grandsons in the family, but let the 13-year-old granddaughter dress up as a man to participate in the draft. She wants to survive the winter. After she is found and interrogated, she knows the plan of the head of the family’s grandmother. He planned to leave without saying goodbye after receiving the An family's money in the spring of next year, and the eldest granddaughter would stand up to him if he wanted to be beaten or killed.

Tell me, how can there be such cruel parents and elders in the world? "

The Empress Dowager said: "This is the sorrow of women. The old woman is too vicious. Now that she has signed up, she can't be let go, and her son will go."

Xiao Huajing said: "Now that their family is in prison, immigration has become the only way for them to atone for their crimes.

The old woman is still reluctant to part with her son. She heard that she made a request with Bingma Si to let her eldest grandson join the army and let her family immigrate to Liaodong.

Bing Masi refused, and she almost died of crying in the prison. "

The empress dowager smiled wryly: "They are all children, why bother to separate relatives?

The Empress Dowager Dou of the Western Han Dynasty also couldn't figure it out. She wanted to take the world from her grandson to her son, but she ended up being resented by her eldest son and grandson. "

What old son and grandson, when they really meet the juncture of life and death, the son is the closest, and the grandchildren can sacrifice.

Xiao Huajing said: "I heard that the girl is really willing to join the army and go to Mobei, so the court can not accept her."

As soon as this happened, Xiaohuajing ordered Zisu to follow up.

Such an ambitious girl must not let her end up being betrayed by officials.

The queen mother said: "Except for Shangtang's wife, almost all female generals in history have no good end. If a woman mixes with a group of gentlemen, her reputation will be ruined. How will she marry in the future? It will be over for a lifetime."

Xiao Huajing secretly thought that it was precisely because of this that she wanted to fight for an opportunity for women to get equal pay for equal work.

Xiaohuajing asked Zisu to follow up, because he took a fancy to this child's ambition.

She knows how to dress up. She is forced by her family, but also has her own ambition. She wants to work like a man to earn money.

Xiao Huajing took a fancy to the shining point of this woman, that is, she refused to admit defeat and wanted to be independent.

Like Shi Dani, she has the consciousness to save herself.

The promotion and development of women's voluntary studies requires women with strong personalities as pioneers to advance.

Xiaohuajing summoned the little girl.

This 13-year-old girl named Damei was full of surprises.

She didn't know about the imperial conscript in her hometown.

What she and her mother can't do every day: plant mulberry and raise silkworms, spin and weave cloth, and also take care of all the housework at home, cook the whole family's meals, and wash the whole family's clothes.

Their grandmother, uncle, and aunt never do anything.

Her parents also need to provide for her little uncle to study.

Xiao Huajing felt very strange: "Picking mulberry and raising silkworms?

Where do you come from?

Since you have money to study, why do you want to flee?Also, they are all biological, why are brothers treated differently? "

The big girl said: "My grandmother gave birth to my father's first child with dystocia. She almost died and was infertile for more than ten years. She will not conceive my little uncle until she is 30 years old, so she thinks my father is a disaster..."

Such a reason is really speechless.

Xiao Huajing asked: "Can you tell me, since your family has land, and you can also raise silkworms, weave cloth and spin yarn, your family should be in a good position.

Sichuan is the land of abundance, and I have never heard of any serious disasters in Sichuan. Why did you come out to escape famine? "

The eldest sister told the story, and Xiaohuajing knew: the younger uncle of the eldest sister was lazy and wanted to be elected as an official, but he was still a child from the age of six to 20.In order to gain fame as a scholar, his father-in-law, who was in the cloth business with him, bribed the local county magistrate, but the matter was exposed.

The little uncle was not only disqualified from the imperial examination, but also imprisoned.

In order to save him, the family sold ten acres of fertile land and bought ten acres of mulberry fields, thus becoming a poor and hired farmer.

Another reason for their escape was that her uncle reconciled with her aunt because she blamed her father-in-law for everything.The house and family property were all discounted to compensate the dowry of the sister-in-law, and the brother-in-law hired someone to hunt and kill him, threatening to die forever.

In her grandmother's hands, there is actually a certain amount of surplus money.

When their family first went to Beijing, there was a mule cart in the family, and her grandmother and little uncle rode in the cart.

Her home is all on foot.

Originally planning to go to Beijing to seek a living, and use their brother and sister to marry to see if they can settle in the suburbs of Beijing, but the imperial court recruited military households.Her grandmother, who was stingy with money, came up with this idea.

She thought that even if she couldn't be deceived, it was the elder son's family's fault.

Having been deceived, she will take the money and run away at that time, regardless of whether her granddaughter lives or dies.

It's a pity that the trick was not successful. The granddaughter was noticed when she was changing clothes, and was regarded as a spy by Bingmasi, and the family was thrown into prison.

Xiao Huajing looked at the little girl with hatred in her eyes: "You have spinning skills, and you agree to the recruitment of female officials, so you only have 20 taels of settling allowance. How do you want to arrange it?"

Xiaohuajing also wanted to see if the child could twist it clearly.

If it is limp, she will eventually be dragged down by her grandmother, and her future effect will be greatly reduced.

The eldest sister's eyes once again burst into surprise: "If it is possible, I beg the empress's grace to let my parents and brothers go to Liaodong to settle down. My grandmother and uncle don't want to go, so forget it."

Xiao Huajing said: "You think too simply, you are a female official, how do you know your grandmother won't pester you?"

The eldest sister kowtowed and said: "The servants have already thought about it, Liaodong also has the Huimin Department, and the slaves have become female officials, it is the Liaodong Huimin Department to set up free schools.

The servant girl knew that the reason why the servant girl was able to escape was due to the grace of the empress, and the servant girl was willing to never marry for the rest of her life, so that she could do a dog's work for the empress empress. "

Xiao Huajing glanced at Zisu, this girl was exaggerating.

The eldest sister's idea is also unrealistic.

Xiaohuajing wants the sixth bureau to take over the weaving bureau of the imperial court to expand the space for women's survival.

The eldest sister is most likely to be sent back to Sichuan in the future to reserve talents for taking over the Weaving Bureau in the future.

Xiao Huajing said: "You don't have to, you only need to serve until you are 20 years old, and then you can choose to retire and get married."

The eldest sister kowtowed and said: "It's too aggrieved to be married. The slaves are willing to be self-reliant and self-reliant like the two adults, Zisu and Zizhu, and follow the queen for the rest of their lives."
