Flowing water always has love

By the time Fengbei recovered his senses, An Shaoqin had already disappeared from his sight.What's the use of thinking about these things at this point, let's just let it go.Feng Beifang withdrew his thoughts and walked towards the gate.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly. At this time, the porridge was ready, and the refugees were led by Mo Lin to the gate of Anqin Palace. Apart from the refugees, there were also many people watching at the gate. Looking at the posture of the palace, the crowd watching They started whispering in twos and threes again.

Most of those refugees are young men and women, only a few are elderly. Although they are young, they are all sallow and thin due to the endless days, and the other old man is emaciated.Those people's gazes were fixed on the steaming and fragrant porridge, and they seemed a little excited. After all, it had been a long time since the drought that they had eaten such delicious food.What's more, he was so excited that he thanked An Shaoqin below.

"Everyone be quiet, listen to me!" Looking at the commotion below, Feng Beifang couldn't help but speak. "For a while, I will let no one in the mansion distribute a bowl to everyone. At that time, everyone will line up and don't crowd. No one will have porridge and take care of it. If there is not enough, the kitchen will cook it for everyone! But before that The lord wants to say a few words to everyone." Before drinking the porridge, Feng Beifang thought that he had to explain the reasons for the porridge, but it was more appropriate for An Shaoqin to say these things, and An Shaoqin naturally understood that Feng Beifang wanted to what to say.

"In recent years, there has been a drought in the north, with only a handful of rains, and the crops have failed. This has disturbed the current Holy Majesty. Last year, the Holy Majesty ordered to build a canal to bring water to the north. But this project is huge, and the canal will not be completed when it will be completed, so if everyone joins in the construction of the canal, it will not only reduce the construction period, but also solve the problem of food and clothing for everyone. The canal was built in the south In the north, when everyone finishes digging the canal, it will be the day you go home. This king has also made it clear to the Holy One!" An Shaoqin paused, looking at the refugees below who began to talk, and the expressions of those refugees were somewhat confused. Embarrassed and some happy.

"King Anqin said that this is indeed a good thing, and we are also willing to join in the project of digging the canal, but there are still many old people among us, they are completely unable to work, what should we do, they follow We came to Beijing, so we can’t just leave them here!” One of the refugees said in embarrassment.

"Don't worry about this matter, those old men will follow you, and let them help you cook when the time comes. Don't worry about the issue of food and grass. Everywhere you go, the holy magistrate will send an order to the magistrate to open it. The granary ensures that everyone has sufficient food and grass! At the same time, the king will also invite a few doctors to follow you, to ensure that everyone can be treated when they are sick! If you have any questions, you can ask them, and the king will tell the sage if it can be realized. Try to meet everyone's requirements!" An Shaoqin said vowedly.Although the grains of the drought in the north are not harvested, the grain reserves in the treasury are still very substantial.Now the canal has been dug to almost half of it, and there is a small section of the remaining waterway that does not need to be dug.

There are hundreds of refugees in this capital. According to local officials, many refugees from the north have gathered in a few rich places in the south, and the canal will pass through those places.The imperial notices calling for refugees to join in the digging of the canal were also posted in those places. When the time comes, the refugees there will dig in front first, and those in Kyoto will catch up with them quickly. There must be water, and there will be a lot of food and grass leftovers. At least in the autumn harvest, the food and grass problem in the north can be guaranteed. In addition, several dependent countries of Yuguo will donate tens of millions of stones of grain and grass every year, and the south is Yuguo The main force of food production, so it is natural not to worry about the shortage of food and grass.

"If this is the case, we will have no problem. Now we can rest assured that we will not be afraid of starvation. We are here to thank King Anqin and thank the emperor for his great kindness. Long live my emperor, long live my lord Thousands of years old." The man said excitedly, first kowtowed three times towards the palace gate, then turned around and kowtowed three times to King Anqin, and the others followed the man and kowtowed.Feng Bei watched this scene with a smile on his face, while An Shaoqin always had a serious face.

"Everyone get up, benefiting the people is what the emperor should do, and the prince is just helping the emperor to solve problems. Mo Lin, go and share the bowls with everyone. If you don't divide the porridge in this cold weather, the porridge will be cold. Those who get the bowl should line up first!" After Feng Beifang finished speaking, everyone thanked the Lord Long En and thanked King Anqin for the reward, then stood up, Mo Lin heard Feng Beifang's words and called a few servants to follow him He distributed the bowls together, while Feng Bei picked up a spoon and stirred the porridge in the wooden barrel, followed by An Shaoqin and the butler Li You.

When the bowl was divided, the young refugees consciously let the old man stand in front of the queue. Although they all wanted to eat porridge quickly, they just stretched their necks and looked forward, and there was no crowding and jumping in line.Hundreds of people lined up in three lines and waited for their empty bowls to be filled with hot porridge. Those who got the porridge first ate it up quickly, and they still looked at the wooden barrel containing the porridge with some unsatisfactory expressions.

"Don't worry, everyone. If you don't have enough to eat, you can eat another bowl later, but you have to wait until you have eaten the rest before you can refill the porridge!" Feng Bei said lightly. I was used to doing it before, so I naturally know the thoughts of those people who are still unsatisfied after eating porridge.Feng Bei just took a look and found that these people were refugees and there were no beggars. He thought that there would be a few beggars coming with him, but in the end none of them came. This was completely beyond his expectation.

An Shaoqin was also serving porridge, but his eyes would glance at Fengbei from time to time, looking at the smiling porridge on Fengbei, and then whispering something to the refugees, although he usually talked to himself indifferently, sometimes Sometimes with a smile, but this time it seems that the feeling is different.Maybe his attitude towards himself is just a habit, but for these people, it is probably from the heart!Is it jealousy?It's ridiculous, how could I be jealous of those people? Thinking of this, An Shaoqin felt disdainful.

The porridge was finished after an hour and a half. After seeing that everyone was full, he asked Mo Lin to take out a piece of paper and write the names of the refugees on the paper. For those who could not read, Mo Lin would do it for them. This name is left to wait until after the canal is dug to calculate the individual's remuneration.After they all got their names, they told everyone to prepare to leave in five days. The food in the five days will be taken care of by Prince Anqin's mansion, and the matter of giving porridge has finally come to an end.
