Fierce “Husband” - Chapter 220
“Prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people suffer.”
“Master, what did you say?”
Old Weng turned around and saw his wife, he said, “It’s nothing, I just have some feelings. Madam is this?”
“Tianhan, I asked someone to boil sheep soup and bring it to you.”
“Mrs. Xie.”
Old Weng walked to the desk and sat down, and took the mutton soup that his wife personally brought. I don’t know how many years, this is the first time that Weng Lao can sit down and drink a bowl of hot mutton soup in such a snowy day. Mrs. Weng looked at her husband’s dark hair, and she couldn’t hide the joy on her face.
The fairy water that the emperor gave to Lao Weng, Lao Weng also drank it with his wife. Mrs. Weng didn’t know how many years she had extended her life, but she-will definitely see the arrival of the prosperous age.
There was a cold wind blowing in, Madam Weng got up and walked to the window, put down the window, and then turned around and sighed, “I don’t know when the snow will stop.” The capital didn’t know how many people would die.
Old Weng put down the bowl, but said, “Rui Xue is a good year, this year should be a good year. Madam, this soup tastes good, let’s have another bowl.”
“Okay.”
The husband liked to drink, and Mrs. Weng immediately asked the maid to go to the kitchen to serve another bowl. Looking at Madam’s smooth face, Old Weng didn’t have too much worry in his heart. This year’s snow is indeed heavy, but this year’s victims of freezing and starvation will be the fewest since the founding of the Yan Kingdom.
Xing, the people suffer, but he believes that with the emperor and that person, Dayan’s country will become more and more prosperous, and the life of the people will become better and better.
For the people at the bottom of the Yan Kingdom, natural disasters meant hardship and even death. But this year, although there are still people who freeze to death, and there are still people who are crushed to death by houses that are crushed by snow, they are negligible compared to those who survived. The heavy snow crushed their house, but they could eat hot porridge in the almshouse, clothed and covered. The people who helped them said that when the snowstorm passed, the imperial court would give them housing and give them money to resume farming. The affected people felt that they were dreaming, but as the days passed, more and more people arrived at the shelter, but no one grabbed the food, and no one took advantage of this to make things difficult for them and bully them. They seemed to really see it. hope.
In the Disaster Relief Department, Prince Murong was busy arranging the tasks of his various officials and men. Since the snow disaster, Prince Murong has only returned home twice, once when he had time to rest in the middle of the auction, which was the auction time; At this time, Murong Shizi could no longer see how fat he was at the beginning. He lost a few laps of weight, and his skin was much darker. If he saw him now, if he didn’t want to know him, no one would recognize him as Murong Shizi.
Prince Murong was very busy and tired, but it was unprecedentedly fulfilling. Since the snow disaster, Hou Zhongyong took the lead in donating money to the Queen’s Relief Fund. After that, Shao Yunan launched a charity performance for disaster relief. The prostitutes have all joined the charity performance to raise funds for the snow disaster. After that, from silver taels, to bedding, even old clothes that other people don’t wear, they can donate. Murong Shizi was in charge of this disaster relief. According to the disaster relief outline Shao Yunan gave him, he adjusted it according to the actual situation. This time, the disaster situation was huge, but the intensity of the disaster relief was unprecedented.
With the full support of Zhongyong Houfufu and the strong backing of the emperor and queen, Murong Shizi showed sufficient ability and courage in this disaster relief, but this is not what makes Murong Shizi proud. What he is proud of is, He can do something like this for this country.
On the streets of the capital, the snow that had just been cleaned was covered with heavy snow, but there were no displaced victims on the streets. The houses in the slums were almost completely crushed. The officers and soldiers affiliated to the Relief Department are clearing construction waste in the snow, and many people who used to live here are waiting to pull out anything useful from the ruins of their homes. According to the plan of Shao Yunan and the Queen, after the spring, the relief foundation will allocate a sum of money, and the national treasury will release another sum of money to build a group of resettlement houses for the disaster victims. The drawings of the resettlement house have been sent to the Ministry of Works with the seal of the emperor.
Such a disaster relief method is unheard of, and it is not that no officials have stood up to oppose it. But when those who opposed the questioning saw that the victims of the disaster were in good order, they were not displaced, there were no children who changed hands, and there were no street children, they gradually shut up.
In Jingyou Palace, Jiang Kangchen is reporting the disaster relief to the Queen in person.
“Chitose, after this snow disaster, the people are very grateful to the ‘relief fund’, and they all say that you are a living Bodhisattva who rescues suffering and rescues suffering.”
The Queen smiled lightly: “The living Bodhisattva is not this monarch.”
Jiang Kangchen added with consideration: “The people also know that the Hou Zhongyong and Wang Shaozheng are great people. However, many people have erected your statue and burn incense and pray for you every day. There are also Hou Zhongyong and Wang Shaozheng.”
The Queen did not mind that her reputation was linked to others, but said with a sense of feeling: “If it wasn’t for Yun An’s suggestion to set up a ‘relief fund’, and if it wasn’t for him and the Hou Zhongyong who took the lead in donating money and materials, this year’s event would not have been possible. Snow disaster, I don’t know how many people will die, how many people will be displaced, and the emperor will not be able to live this year in peace.”
Jiang Kangchen: “Wang Shaozhengjun is the emperor’s lucky star, and also your lucky star Chitose.”
“It is.”
Jiang Kangchen still has reservations. The merit monument funded by the Zhongyong Houfu is now erected outside the Zhongyi Temple. Now, the incense in the Zhongyi Temple is about to catch up with the Rainforest Temple. Before the snow disaster, it was not the Buddha who brought hope to the suffering people, but the Hou Zhongyong. There is Wang Shijing’s name on the monument of merit, and there are ancestors of the family in the Zhongyi Temple. The people who have no place to incense the Zhongyong Houfufu worship their gratitude and hope in front of the Zhongyi Temple and the merit monument.
Shao Yunan knew about this, and he was very moved. He did nothing but normal things in his world, but here, he brought hope to countless people. However, the moved Shao Yunan could only stay at home and could not go anywhere. He was about to give birth in three months at most, and Wang Shijing was extremely nervous, even though Jiang Moxi returned to the house more often.
Dai Zhanxiao has been living in the Zhongyonghou Mansion, and he originally played twice and wanted to rush back to the border. King Keqin was still detained in the prison of Dali Temple. Emperor Yongming sent someone to send a letter to the Huhar Kingdom and gave him a long list of items. If he wanted to redeem King Keqin, he would first send these items plus five more. million taels of silver. The country of Huhar does not produce silver, and five million taels is a lot of money for them. The Great Khan of Hu State replied, asking Emperor Yongming to save King Keqin’s life. Hu State was about to enter winter and could not send someone to Yan State to send ransom money. In the spring of next year, Hu State would send a mission. But everyone knew that this was just Hu’s delaying strategy. The next spring, when Hu’s land thawed, would be the time when Hu would attack Yan. The arrest of King Keqin will give them a more adequate excuse.
Dai Zhanxiao wanted to rush back to Huxingguan as soon as possible, but Emperor Yongming never let him go. After that, I will never mention the matter of Huxingguan again.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the snow disaster has passed, and the affected people have also started to rebuild and resume production after the disaster. On this day, the three families of the General’s Mansion, Zhongyong Hou’s Mansion and Cen’s Mansion had a lively Lantern Festival together. On the 16th day of the first month, Dai Zhanxiao led the Yihu Army he brought back to Beijing to **** a batch of important supplies back to the border. Emperor Yongming allocated a sum of money from the treasury, and the Houfu of Zhongyong also generously donated money. The Yunlong Group, in conjunction with the military department, worked overtime to prepare a batch of special materials to be brought back to the border by Dai Zhanxiao. After sending the batch of supplies to the border, Dai Zhanxiao had to rush back to the capital. He hoped that he could come back before his younger brother gave birth.
In Jingyou Palace, Emperor Yongming was very satisfied eating the just-cooked instant noodles.
“This boiled instant noodle is better than the one made from water. Well, you must add an egg and sausage. Why didn’t Yunan make such a delicious thing earlier?”
The Queen is helpless: “Your Majesty, you have eaten six cakes of instant noodles today.”
“It’s cold, I need to take care of some fat before I have the strength to fight the Hu people.”
The tone of a certain emperor seems to be ready to go to the expedition.
The queen also loves the taste of this instant noodles, but he is still pregnant and can’t be greedy. The queen stood up slowly with Zhuo Jin’s support on her waist. The nose was filled with the rich aroma of instant noodles, but his heart drifted to the border with the aroma of instant noodles.
When the national treasury is filled with more money, and the donations from the “relief fund” are more, the soldiers of Yan State will not only be able to eat instant noodles, but also canned food, sausages, compressed biscuits…
The Queen’s eyes fluctuated, and she asked, “Your Majesty, do you want to send some people from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry to call for Hou Zhongyong? You can’t always ask Hou Fufu to find a way by himself.”
Emperor Yongming stopped his chopsticks.
“It’s easy to say this instant noodles, but how to dehydrate and preserve the quality of this package, I heard that Hou Zhongyong and Yun An spent a lot of thought and thought, and even Brother Xi was called to come up with an idea.”
Emperor Yongming’s eyes showed seriousness, and he immediately made a decision: “The queen is right, but I was negligent. It’s better for you to decide this candidate? You must be careful. After the selection, it will be handed over to the Hou Zhongyong. As for the name of this yamen, let me Yun An decides by himself, what do you think?”
“Excellent.”
Wang Shijing, who finally took a rest and can stay at home with peace of mind, once again “disaster came from the sky”, and was given a secret edict by Emperor Yongming. After Wang Shijing accepted the order, Shao Yunan laughed too much.
Wang Shijing plans to ignore everything next, concentrate on waiting for the birth of the child, and take care of the child at home. Shao Yunan took the imperial decree and looked at it, and said irresponsibly, “The emperor is very thoughtful, so let’s just call it the ‘Food Research Institute’. We can study not only military food, but also civilian food. Hey, Brother Jing , you are the director.”
Wang Shijing has a black face, he doesn’t want to be the director, he just wants to be a dad!
In this way, the famous “food research institute” of Yan Kingdom in the future was born in the words of the queen. The birth of the Food Research Institute has greatly improved the life of the frontier generals. With the gradual improvement of the national strength of the Yan country, the people of the Yan country will no longer change their color when they hear the conscription, but instead scramble to sign up for the army. Because being a soldier not only eats well, dresses well and benefits well, but even if the uncle is killed in battle, the state will also take care of his family, and if he is disabled, there are corresponding welfare policies.
——”The History of the State of Yan: The New Years of the Yuan Dynasty”:
Emperor Yongming, the prosperous Kaiyuan emperor of the Yan Kingdom, loved his people like a son. Every time the Food Research Institute develops a new product, Emperor Yongming always takes the lead, experimenting with himself…
