Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

Yu Yuan asked someone to bring some food to Emperor Kangxi, but Emperor Kangxi was too busy with things to eat. It was not until night when Yu Yuan was lying next to Emperor Kangxi that she could still faintly hear Emperor Kangxi sighing.

It's no wonder Emperor Kangxi was so worried. He was just worried about scaring Yu Yan, but he just picked up some trivial things to talk about. In fact, the situation was even more tragic than this.

In the past few days, various state capitals have successively handed in notices, and more than 40 state capitals have been affected by the disaster. This is what he urgently called all the adults to talk about this morning.

The disaster-stricken areas this time were mainly Zhili Sanhe and Pinggu, followed by Xianghe, Wuqing, Baodi, Jizhou, and Gu'an.

From Tongzhou to Sanhe, all the city walls collapsed, corpses were piled up on hills, and there were very few survivors. Sanhe was severely affected, and not many city walls and houses survived after the earthquake. At present, more than 2,000 people were recorded as dead.

The houses and pagodas and temples in Pinggu County were completely wiped out, the ground was cracked for more than ten feet, the fields were destroyed, landslides occurred in the east mountains, and the southern mountains of Haizizhuang were shaken into jagged shapes.

In the entire county, except for those who were crushed to death by houses and who died due to ground cracks, only three to four out of ten people survived. Jixian, Baodian, Wuqing, Gu'an and other counties were also severely damaged, with deep trenches and black water gushing out.

When they came out, numerous houses collapsed, killing many people and animals.

The most severely affected place was less than a hundred miles away from the center of the capital, so the losses in the center of the capital were also quite severe. A rough estimate of 10,000 collapsed houses and nearly 20,000 were damaged. To date, more than 400 people have not been rescued.

It's unclear whether the more than 1,000 seriously injured people will survive.

If we don't mobilize the people to save themselves together, we don't know when we will be able to get through this disaster.

Emperor Kangxi could not sleep at night, and his mood made Yu Yan feel a little sad.

"Sir, I have a way. I don't know if it's feasible or not."

Emperor Kangxi closed his eyes and whispered a few words: "Just kill the chicken to scare the monkey."

I asked Ju Ru, who was keeping watch at night, again, and she said that Long live the Lord was awakened by Liang Jiugong at about half an hour. The people below had something urgent to report, and they were extremely anxious. They couldn't wait for the Long live Lord to wake up from his sleep.

Now it is not the future. Firstly, the country is strong and strong, and secondly, it is united as one. If one side is in trouble, there will be support from all sides. If the people are confident and energetic, they can overcome any difficulties.

Yu Pang was silenced by the cold words. Even though she had been the master for several years, she was still not used to treating life with such contempt.

"I'm just thinking that just relying on two bowls of porridge a day in winter is useless. You have to build a shelter in early winter at the latest. As long as spring comes after the new year, people's lives will be better.

, it’s hard for anyone to starve to death just by scraping food from the ground.”

What Yu Yan thought was similar to what Emperor Kangxi thought, but he was not as ruthless as Emperor Kangxi, daring to starve people: "I also said that some people will do all kinds of evil things just to stutter. If someone just grabs the rations nearby,

So what? It’s faster to rob than to use force, but I’m afraid someone will take advantage of this.”

What matters right now is only two aspects, food and money.

As for what it was, it was not something that a little girl like Ju Ru could know. It was still early at the moment, so Yu Chan dismissed the people and simply lay back down, listening to the urgent sound of rain and losing sleepiness for a while.

Yu Lian shook his head slightly, and then said his own plan first: "As for what I said before, I have come up with a plan, but I don't know how much food we have left? How long can we last? If we have enough energy, we can use it."

This time is different. When the Qing Dynasty was still not very powerful, although there was integration and harmony between the Manchus and Hans, there were still some contradictions and prejudices, and the classes were insurmountable. Therefore, even if the court tried its best, the high-ranking officials could still do their part.

, but it is limited after all.

If the people cannot save themselves, who will survive?

There is just one rat excrement that ruins the whole pot of porridge. Herd mentality is really bad. If you want to stimulate people's enthusiasm, you have to make people see tangible benefits. So what benefits should be used?

Emperor Kangxi was extremely tired from his hard work, and he fell asleep in a short while. He didn't know how many hours he slept. Yu Dian was woken up by the sound of rain hitting leaves outside, and it was not yet bright.

It was about the beginning of the Yin period, but there was no one around her, and there was only a trace of warmth left in the bed.

“So many people who didn’t deserve to die have died, how many more silverfish lives are left behind?”

"You may want to go with me. Apart from last year's floods, the weather has been good in previous years, so we have stocked up a lot of food. I asked people to check with various food stores and they said there is a lot of surplus food. The court is suppressing the price, so it won't bother the people.

If you can't afford food, you can get by in the winter without military supplies."

"Yu Yuan, I have a way for you to listen to!"

Emperor Kangxi seemed to feel something. He paused and softened his tone: "Most of them are pragmatic. As long as they can have enough food and clothing, there are not many people who have the courage to do evil. As long as the few leaders are eliminated, no one will

It’s just special circumstances and special means. We can’t let these villains mess up the overall situation.”

"I didn't touch the injury on your forehead, did I? I'll rub it for you."

Yu Yan nodded, seeing that Emperor Kangxi had made a decision in his mind, he didn't say anything more, and just urged Emperor Kangxi to take a rest, as he had to be busy tomorrow.

The two of them were lying flat on their backs, each with his head tilted and thinking about his own thing. No one opened his mouth to discuss it, but they all came up with it together. The two subconsciously turned toward each other and bumped their heads.

First they let out a soft hiss, and then the two of them couldn't help but laugh together at each other's embarrassment in the dark, making the gauze curtains tremble with laughter. After a while, they covered their foreheads and stopped laughing.

As soon as Emperor Kangxi heard this, he knew that Yu Yuan was thinking of the same thing as him. He was surprised by such a close connection and felt that having such a close friend like Yu Yuan was a blessing from heaven.

"It's better to be more generous. Any male between fourteen and below forty-five who is willing to do it can have more food for the whole family. Those who are not willing to do it can only have a bowl of thin soup and little water a day. They can't complain about being hungry.

Others, as for women and children, it is not easy to force them, they must be discussed carefully."

It will be cold when it rains, and disaster relief will be even more difficult.

Yuqian sighed softly, thinking about Emperor Kangxi's worries and couldn't lie down anymore, so she simply asked someone to go to Ruizhu Garden, opened the warehouse, counted the money, and asked someone to send some to her home. While she was out, she asked someone to replace her.

Also look at the situation outside.

After worrying about these things, it was time to get up. The rain outside was not heavy, but it was lingering. It did not stop until noon. For fear that it would be slippery outside, Yu Lian did not take Si Age to look for it.

The Empress Dowager is just bored reading and watching the rain.

Fourth elder brother can't go out to play, so he doesn't like rainy days very much. The child is wilting in E Niang's arms. As you say, things follow the shape of their masters. Even Dong Yan, who is nestled at Yu Xian's feet, is humming from time to time.

After a while, always shake the soft hair that has become damp.
