Chapter 439 The situation is grim
Chapter 439 The situation is serious
Bushun paused and said, "Reply to the Queen, it's not a good thing outside. I went to Changchun Garden first. Changchun Garden and Chengxin Garden were almost the same as those in Chengxin Garden. Nara and the fifth prince were not seriously injured. They have moved them to the tent to avoid it for a while. However, eight or nine out of ten people's houses collapsed nearby. Fortunately, in the daytime, the people either went to the fields or went out to do their jobs. There were not many people under the ruins, and the villages had already begun to save themselves."
"However, the more you go to the Forbidden City, the more you get the disaster. First, there are dense houses and more people, so the situation is more complicated. By then, the people have already begun to save themselves, and the officials are also there. But when they look at the chaos and there is no constitution, they will find out that Song Wenyun, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, was smashed in the head, and the people are not awake yet."
"Fortunately, the head of the government, Zhang Jiwu, was responsible for it. When I came, I looked much more orderly. However, the biggest problem at the moment was that there were very few people and there were disasters everywhere. I took the hand order you gave me to the Jiumen Military and Ma Si and the Beijing Suburbs to invite people, and invited Prince Yu and Feng Pu, a few old ministers, to take charge. The capital should be safe."
"The Forbidden City was also very affected. The Hanlin Academy was the worst affected. The houses were destroyed. The walls of the Qianqing Palace of the Emperor of Long lively collapsed. The palaces of the Cining Palace and the harem ladies were also damaged. Fortunately, no one was injured and there was a place to live now."
"I don't know where the disaster is the most severe. However, when I came back, I met the people who fled to the capital on the road. When I asked, there were no ones coming from outside, all from Zhili. I expected that the most severe disaster was not far from the capital. Prince Yu had sent someone to investigate and sent me two hundred people to escort the Empress down the mountain,,,,,,,"
When the Empress Dowager heard that the disaster was severe outside, how could she sit still? Not to mention the 200 people assigned to her. This time, it was the time to use people. Fei Xin also brought about a hundred or ten people, which was enough.
"There are so chaos in the capital. I'm still escorting the Ai family down the mountain. I don't want these 200 people. If you see where there is a shortage of people to save them, you can send them to you. If you have food and drink in Yuquan Mountain, it's important to save people and disasters first. I don't know if there is no aftershock after that. If you don't dig out the people in time, you can starve them to death after waiting for a day or two."
"I wonder if the granary can be opened and released? The tents must be set up quickly, and the same is true for the porridge shed. If people starve to death at this time, who can still care about saving people and disasters, and the capital will be in chaos!"
This is true. No matter what disaster, the top priority is food. People buried in the bottom lack food and drink. Those who save people must have enough food to have the strength to save people.
The dragon turned over and turned the food and houses of the people into vanishing in an instant. The first day he was just afraid that he might not feel hungry, but no matter how scared he was, he could not withstand hunger.
No matter how bad it is, you can donate some gold and silver jewelry without any marks. They are all solid. If they are twisted, they can be used as broken gold and broken silver.
With the Empress Dowager taking the lead, everyone also took out the bags. The garden was not damaged much. The slaves at the bottom of the house had already rescued the important things for their masters one by one. Even if they came out to play, they didn't bring much money to the side, but with more people, they would have paid a little bit of money to make up for each person.
First, I had to ask for people to talk about it. After talking about the matter of donating silver and goods, I had to figure out how much I could show my face and not steal the glory of the top. I had to inquire about it over and over again. There were also those who were not popular in this matter, and those who were more careful than the money they donated.
"I'd better ask me to escort the Empress and all the masters to go down the mountain quickly. I'll be waiting for the shift to open the road tonight. I think I can go down the mountain at dawn. Even if I don't go back to the palace, it's much more stable than on the mountain. If I have something to do, it's more convenient,...
People with land in the suburbs of Beijing can still dig food in the fields, but the people in Beijing have any land left in their hands. At most, they sprinkle some rapeseed in the palm-sized places in their own yards. There are few people raising chickens and ducks. They are all working hard to sell their skills to exchange food for food. They have no place to exchange for this disaster.
Fei Xin and Bushun persuaded each other, but they were afraid that the Empress would not go down the mountain. Su Nalagu also said a few words. Everyone who wanted to go back looked at the Empress, but there was fear in their hearts. No one dared to say more, just waiting for the Empress to make his own decision.
The more I talked, the more anxious she became. The Empress Dowager thought that she would not open the warehouse and release grain at all. Secondly, she was afraid that the emperor would be confused, so she simply asked Su Malagu to bring the silver she had on hand and asked someone to go to the rice shop and grain store first to buy as much as possible. The porridge one day earlier could make people less hungry.
Now it is extraordinary. No matter what the purpose is, it is always a favorable thing for the people. It will never be speculated or looked down upon. Of course, at this urgent moment, I don’t care about the people’s thoughts.
I don’t know if I was really worried about the people who were affected by the disaster in the capital, or if I was afraid that the people would lack food and clothing, and then they would join in the name of an uprising to rob the rich and kill people. The clan and female relatives all paid a lot of them, and they were not stingy with some conspicuous gold and silver jewelry. In just a while, they piled up a bunch of them. After a rough calculation, the silver notes, gold and silver crocks and jewelry would have to be less than two thousand taels.
He was so shocked that he didn't know what to say. He was a second-class guard. He used to listen to the orders in the Qianqing Palace or the Cining Palace, and sent a letter to the Empress Dowager for the Emperor Wansui. He didn't say anything else, and even if the Empress Dowager took the lead, the female family and the various governments would be very troubled.
But I have to do the things of buying grain and porridge, and I can’t delay the things of escorting you down the mountain. As the Empress Dowager said, who would know if there will be another aftershock after this, and if there will be another earthquake that is more severe than yesterday, and it will be unsafe on the mountain.
The Empress Dowager weighed the pros and cons, and after hearing the news became more informative, she was a little moved. When she looked at the look of everyone's expectation, she still nodded. However, she still felt that there were too many 200 people coming, so she asked someone to send back a hundred, and the rest were enough with the guards and servants in front of her.
The road does not have to be opened very wide, and it can only allow one or two people to walk over. At this time, there is no need to pay attention to the rules of the show. Many livestock and horses have been injured and many run away. If you want to pay attention, you can't pay attention to it.
After receiving the approval from the Empress, everyone felt relieved. Fei Xin and others did not delay for a moment. So they sent people to work, and it would be almost time to fall down three groups of people at night.
But there was something difficult, so the injured person next to him stopped talking. He asked the slave to carry the sedan chair and endured it and went down the mountain. But Yu Yu couldn't move at this moment. Not to mention asking her to walk around by herself, it would be inappropriate to sit on the sedan chair and shake her body.
