Chapter 463 Soone is behind the scenes
Mr. Ma lowered his eyes and said: "Father, it is not appropriate to make a fuss about this matter. It will be troubleso if others find out. My sister is at fault, but she is excusable."
"I didn't tell her not to take revenge, but what did she do? Can she kill her enemy with one blow or sothing? Just like this, it's so painless and easy to bla..." What Ma Shangshu is most angry about is not that his daughter doesn't take revenge. It's a stupid way to retaliate.
It's good now that Xie Zhang found out.
Now Shangshu Mansion owes Dingbei Hou Mansion a big favor, and the handle is also given to them in disguise.
Ma Shangshu said: "Fortunately, it was the Xie family that was found. We have been friends with the Xie family for generations. Otherwise, how could you have imagined the end? When the emperor is in urgent need of money for disaster relief..."
He did not continue.
Ma Dagongzi and Ma Suqin both turned pale.
What will happen?
Either ransacking hos or beheadings.
Ma Shangshu sneered, "The Su family is learning from it, haven't you learned the lesson yet? What Qin'er is doing now is no different from what Su Yu did back then. Su Yu was still ruthless and decisive, but what about Qin'er? Even if a good deed is missing, If you have money, what can you do with the one in the palace? If soone loses his reputation, what does it matter? It doesnt hurt, the most worthless thing in this world is reputation."
The Ma family brothers and sisters were as silent as cicadas.
Then Shangshu Ma warned them not to take action again.
Qin Yuyu caused his daughter to be disfigured, and Ma Shangshu was not uneasy.
However, if you want to take revenge, dont be in a hurry...
The next step is to resettle the victims.
A wave of victims ca to the capital.
The governnt quickly issued policies to resettle the victims in villages outside the city and paid resettlent fees. Even so, the pressure is still great. There is no shortage of money, but the problem is lack of food. Having money but not being able to buy food is the biggest problem. At the sa ti, the plague must be prevented.
The emperor summoned doctors early to treat people outside the city for free, and also distributed free preventive dicinal decoctions.
Du Wan was originally in the house, and when he heard the gossip, he didn't have much fluctuation in his heart.
Until she rode out of the city, many porridge shacks were set up under the city wall, which were used temporarily by wealthy families in the capital to give porridge. You can see the victims in ragged clothes, all of them skinny and skinny, almost like beggars. On her way to the farm, she saw several starved corpses on the roadside before the governnt had ti to bury them.
Du Wan felt compassion and went to Zhuang Cong, "Open a warehouse and take in so victims."
Does the group leader an its free? Zhuang Cong hesitated to speak.
If you have any opinions, please tell directly.
My subordinates think it is better to exchange work for food rather than giving alms.
Is there any work left to do on our farm?
"There is a lot of wasteland around here. You can ask people to co over and cultivate it. If you raise it, you may be able to grow sweet potatoes. The most important thing is that this is the fiefdom of the county king. It doesn't matter if the harvest is not good. We don't have to pay taxes. Whatever we harvest is ours. ." Zhuang Cong, a personal guard, is now more and more familiar with farming.
Du Wan looked around and saw a few hills, "Okay. Just do as you say. You don't have to pay in exchange for food. You can also pay money."
Zhuang Congs suggestion was adopted by Du Wan, and he was very happy.
Du Wan did not return to the city after leaving the farm.
Hand around the fief with a hundred personal guards.
A majestic city wall can be seen in the distance.
These days, more and more disaster victims are looking for work, and those responsible are accepting anyone who can work, causing the fortifications to progress very quickly. Of course, the daily consumption of food and food is also extrely huge. The governnt was happy to hear this, because it took a lot of pressure off the governnt.
The next few days.
There are fewer and fewer victims outside the city.
Soone discovered the problem.
The emperor saw the secret report before the Long case and asked, "Did the Du family take action?"
The princess is also kind. The chief steward replied softly.
That girl
There was a slight smile on the emperor's face, "Call her smart, she always does business at a loss. Call her stupid, look at her, she has nothing, and she invites all the victims to open up wasteland for her." Labor is still cheap.
The chief steward coughed lightly, "The princess only suffers from you, Your Majesty."
"Ha ha."
The emperor laughed loudly, "It's true when you think about it carefully."
The princess is a filial child.
How can you say you are not filial if you don't forget to show filial piety to the emperor when you have good things?
Most elders like well-behaved and filial juniors, and the emperor is no exception. Imdiately thinking of his biological daughter, the emperor's smile gradually faded.
This locust plague is far from over.
The victims who ca to the capital were watched over by the emperor and quickly cald down.
What about the rest of the disaster areas?
The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. When the local governnt fails to act, the people have no choice but to flee and wait for death, which is likely to cause chaos in various places.
Day by day passes.
Du Wan is aware of the changes in her surroundings even without leaving ho.
The most obvious thing is that we are becoming more and more frugal about food at ho.
Its not that there is no money, its that grain is temporarily unavailable. More than 90% of the grain stores in the capital are closed. The remaining one or two rice and grain shops are selling them as if they were gold. The Princess Mansion still has food in store, but it can't just sit there and eat nothing. In addition, the Princess Mansion has to feed a lot of people, so it is necessary to save appropriately.
On the other hand, rumors about the emperor being cruel and fatuous, and causing continuous disasters only if he angered the heavens, gradually spread outside the capital.
The emperor was very angry when he learned that he could not trace the source even if he wanted to.
It is a rumor that the capital is still calm and no one dares to say it.
It is spread privately.
When Du Wan learned this, he still overheard others talking in private.
It just confirms the description in the book. However, the emperor in reality is much better than the one described in the book. He has flesh and blood. Even if he has so selfish intentions, so what?
No one has any selfishness.
Perhaps, selfishness is not exclusive to others.
Many people are selfish, they just dont know it.
Du Wan saw with his own eyes that the emperor worked very hard to govern the country. He took great pains to fill the treasury and provide disaster relief and rescue people. People outside still say this about him, which is quite unfair.
Wanwan, what are you thinking about? Pei Hao stepped into Yulingyuan and thought that the little girl would spot him imdiately. However, he stood beside her while she was still in a daze.
Du Wan was startled and turned around to see him, "Why are you here?"
"Every ti you see , you ask this, can't I just co here when I have nothing to do?" Pei Hao ca to the little girl's side and naturally lifted up a strand of hair hanging down her shoulders.
The soft black hair slips between the fingers. This feeling is very novel.
Du Wan slapped his hand away, "What are you doing?"
"What can I do? I just want to ask you what you are thinking." Pei Hao replied with a smile.
Du Wan pursed her lips and said, "I'm thinking about my uncle."
Is it about the rumors?
Do you suspect soone is behind the scenes?
"Isn't this obvious? It's spread so widely and no one is doing anything behind the scenes. I don't believe it."
