After the imperial court finalized the decision to allow the victims to enter the city, the imperial army was immediately dispatched to maintain order.
Fang Chen also received the news in the afternoon.
"I didn't expect that the flooding in the south would be so serious."
Qingluan nodded, looked at Fang Chen and said: "Yes, I thought we had it under control, but no one thought that the situation would turn out to be so serious. The local officials must have reported it long ago, but it should have been reported by Zhang Yu, an old man.
The bastard has been suppressed."
"This juncture is suddenly exposed. They must have bad intentions. Your Majesty asked me to tell you that this time it may be another operation of the Zhang Party against you."
"I want Liu Yuanqing to win the competition with you. Your Majesty wants you to be careful."
Fang Chen raised his head after thinking for a while: "There is a possibility, I know it, please tell His Majesty, I will be careful."
Qingluan hummed: "That's it, I'll go back to the palace first."
Qingluan left, and Fang Chen began to plan.
The number of refugees entering the city this time was not like last time, only one or two hundred.
This time there were tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. Such a large group of people suddenly breaking into the imperial capital would definitely cause some trouble to the people of the imperial capital.
The result of the discussion in the court was to allow the victims to make a living on their own after entering the city.
Fang Chen couldn't help but feel a little sick, these guys are all stupid.
However, since it was the result of the efforts of the people from the Ministry of Revenue, it means that they must have imagined various situations after the disaster victims entered the city, and had already figured out how to deal with it.
Liu Yuanqing's image among the scholars and students of Wenxuanfang has plummeted after what happened at the last literary conference.
You may take advantage of this opportunity for disaster victims to enter the city to win over people's hearts and enhance your reputation!
"What a good boy, you really know how to think!"
Fang Chen's guess was very close to the truth.
He stood up and left the Bingma Division, thinking about how to take the attack.
What the victims need most now is food and shelter, and Liu Yuanqing must have been prepared for this.
It is simply impossible to supply food for tens of thousands of people with the money I have on hand.
"It's really a headache." Fang Chen thought about it for a long time without any clue, and couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the people coming and going on the street.
Now there is no shortage of people in Yanghuafang Urban Management. Although Xiao San's Golden Juice Shop is short of people, it cannot absorb such a large group of refugees.
We can build a private school with enough people, and there are already enough workers in the soap factory.
It is really difficult to take over this group of refugees.
Since he couldn't think of a solution for the time being, Fang Chen put down the burden in his heart and prepared to wait and see how Liu Yuanqing would respond.
After one day.
The next morning, under the escort of the Forbidden Army, large numbers of refugees began to enter the imperial capital, which immediately caused a lot of activity.
The common people came to watch one after another and saw a group of people who looked like zombies.
Their clothes are ragged and unkempt, and their dull eyes only brighten when they see the food on the street stalls.
Even some refugees couldn't wait and rushed forward to grab it. Their crazy movements overturned several blankets, but before they could have a feast, they were soon discovered by the imperial guards who maintained order, beating and kicking the general.
They have control.
But even after being beaten down, the refugees still clung to the robbed food in their hands.
The vendor who was robbed was cursing, but could not get the other party to compensate.
People are so poor that they steal food to eat, so how can they compensate for their losses?
"This is no longer a human being."
Fang Chen heard an old man next to him sigh.
Indeed, these refugees, who had been hungry for who knows how long, no longer looked like humans.
Seeing what was happening in front of him, Fang Chen, who originally just disliked each other with Liu Yuanqing's gang, suddenly felt very angry in his heart.
If these guys hadn't enriched their own pockets and embezzled disaster relief funds, the people in the south would have suffered.
But it will never turn into the current state of being neither human nor ghost!
These victims who fled to the imperial capital were like this, but what about those who did not escape? What about those who died on the way? How many were there!
I have only read about it in books, but has it ever happened?
Just thinking about it makes Fang Chen furious!
No matter when, these corrupt officials should be cut to pieces! As long as I am in power, I will never let them go!
He walked away and returned to the small courtyard.
Seeing him come back with a livid face, Ye Xue'e stepped forward quickly: "What's wrong?"
Fang Chen collected his emotions and told Ye Xue'e the news of the refugees entering the city and the scene he saw.
She sighed: "Those who are covered with silkworms are not silkworm farmers. Zhang Dang's group of people only care about their own happiness, and they don't care about the life and death of the people."
"Yes, if I find a chance, I will deal with these bastards severely!"
Ye Xue'e said worriedly: "Since Zhang Dang tried his best to promote this matter, it might be used against you. You must be careful."
"Since the imperial court allows them to make a living on their own, the capital will be flooded with disaster victims once they enter Yanghuafang."
"Liu Yuanqing and the others may even hire people to cause trouble on purpose, so don't be careless."
Fang Chen smiled softly: "Don't worry, I won't be knocked down so easily."
"I believe you." Ye Xue'e nodded.
Hong Xiu, who was hanging clothes in the distance, didn't know why, but she felt full before she even had dinner.
"Red sleeves." Fang Chen called out.
The little girl quickly said: "Master Fang, please tell me."
"Don't go out during this period to avoid any accidents. I will come every day to bring you food." Fang Chen instructed.
Hong Xiu nodded hurriedly: "I understand."
After leaving the small courtyard, Fang Chen prepared to go out again to see the situation.
at the same time.
In Wenxuanfang, Liu Yuanqing summoned everyone from the Dongcheng Military and Horse Division.
He was about to start preparing for disaster relief.
With an order, hundreds of people from the Military and Horse Department took action and headed towards the gathering place of the refugees.
Master Liu was in high spirits, surrounded by the four major grain merchants in the outer city of the imperial capital.
Zhou Tianyu, Wu Yongnian, Zheng Dayou, Wang Haiquan.
Wu Yongnian smiled and said: "Master Liu, the second batch of grain has been delivered and can be used at any time. I wonder what Master Liu will do next?"
Liu Yuanqing laughed: "Four of you, please prepare with your own workers and set up a hundred relief points in Wenxuanfang. As soon as the refugees arrive, they will start distributing food and food."
“We must let the refugees know from the beginning that we can provide them with food here in Wenxuanfang.”
Wang Haiquan nodded, and then suggested: "Master Liu, why not make porridge and give it to others? Firstly, you can save food, and secondly, you can also give the victims something to eat."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yuanqing hummed: "What's the use of a little porridge and water? If you want to eat, you have to let them eat. Otherwise, how can I overpower others?"
