Disaster relief has always been done by opening warehouses and releasing grain.
This is not said...
Isn't it because everyone has come all the way to Bianliang because this is where the emperor lies?
If you can't eat here, where else can you go?
But this time the court changed its tactics——
If you want to eat, you have to walk back and eat all the way until you return to your home, and then wait for the local government to open a warehouse to provide disaster relief, otherwise you will starve to death.
In short, the same sentence remains: Don’t even think about Bianliang!
Confused?
"This method is really..."
Someone had a wry smile on his face and said tangledly: "You can call it bad, but it works! If you want to eat, you have to go back, otherwise you will starve to death! But if you call it good..."
This is not disaster relief, it is clearly unreasonable!
Use food to force the victims so that they have to go home...
The princes in the court are really shameless. Even if you provide disaster relief, the people will not think a penny of your kindness and will even scold you.
Also, if they don’t have food to eat when they go back, this will be really serious!
If it doesn't work well, the entire Shaanxi Road will have to rebel.
"Who came up with this idea?"
Someone couldn't help but ask.
"Cao An!"
"Who is Cao An?"
The people around were excited...
Everyone wants to know, who can come up with such a sinister and bad idea?
Someone familiar with the matter immediately said loudly: "The shopkeeper of the Cao Chamber of Commerce, the proprietor of Wanyue Tower, and You Sijian beside His Majesty! And... he is a gangster leader who has hundreds of vicious street gangsters under him. No one dares to mess with you in Bianliang City!"
rogue?
Everyone was shocked and at the same time a little dazed.
Yes!
Only a gangster can do this!
If you change it to someone who wants to show shame, he really wouldn't dare to do this.
What if I mess up...
Not only will this man be unlucky, his reputation will also be ruined.
But does Cao An still have a reputation?
The most indispensable thing in Bianliang City is officials. But someone like Cao An, who has countless gangsters under his command and is an official with a business background, is really a scorpion daddy - the only one!
Everyone couldn't help but chuckle.
A gangster is a gangster, even if he wears official uniform, he still can't stop his gangster temperament, especially Cao An... He is almost overflowing.
…
The ox cart came all the way to the west of the city.
The news has spread throughout the city.
The victims who had sneaked in were hiding on both sides of the street, staring directly at the grain on the bullock carts.
Do you really have food to eat as long as you go home?
They didn't want to go back, and they were afraid that the court would go back on their word... and they were even more afraid that if they went back this time, they would never escape with their lives.
So, everyone is waiting and watching.
At this moment, there was no need to identify the refugees who had sneaked in. Just by looking at those wolf-like eyes, one could tell who was really hungry.
People in Bianliang will not starve to death.
Even in a place like Chengxi, the lowest among the lowest, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely be able to make ends meet.
The Song Dynasty devoted its entire country to raising the city of Tokyo. Is that a joke?
It's no exaggeration to say...
Today, 95% of the wealth of the Song Dynasty is in this city!
When the Jin Army conquered Bianliang, the country's GDP increased two hundred times. Even if they worked for ten lifetimes, they probably wouldn't be able to earn this wealth...
If it weren't for these 'capitals', how could those poor people destroy the Liao Kingdom?
"Food is distributed!"
In front of Dailou Gate, several bullock carts were lined up.
The leading officer drew out his knife and slashed the bag hard. The white rice flowed everywhere, and there was even very little rice or coarse wheat in it.
Rice cultivation technology was developed during the Song Dynasty, and it is now one of the main crops.
But only in Bianliang can we eat such high-quality rice.
As for those remote places, they mainly eat corn and wheat. The reason is very simple. These foods are more hungry than rice.
The same one stone of food can feed different people.
Shaanxi Road is located in the northwest of the Song Dynasty. It was not a particularly remote place originally. However, after Xixia took over, various frictions continued.
The local people are miserable.
"Really giving out food?"
Several victims could not stand the temptation and bravely came forward.
Some even lay on the ground to pick up the scattered rice.
The officer did not stop him, and even moved away so that they could pick it up...
"The court has an order!"
Then, he took out a memorandum from his arms and said loudly: "I am going to Shaanxi Road to provide disaster relief. Anyone who follows will be given rations based on the head of the head every day!"
The proclamation was posted on the city wall, and the scarlet seal on it couldn't be faked!
Now everyone was excited.
Some locals in the west of the city even secretly calculated: "A bowl of rice per person per day? That's four or five cents! Otherwise, let's go to Shaanxi Road too, right?"
As soon as these words came out, many people around him were amused.
"Are you having trouble with your brain?"
The big man sneered: "I want to crawl into a dog hole to get in, but you want to get out? Go ahead and see how you come back! Do you think the court will bring you back again?"
"Ha ha!"
"Is this person brainless?"
There was laughter all around.
The man glared at the big man with a red face and quickly disappeared into the crowd.
At this time, someone else said: "Go home! As long as there is a stutter, who would want to live under someone else's roof?! No matter how nice Bianliang is, it is not home! If one day we are caught as a gangster, we might even face a lawsuit!" "
Yes, it’s okay if you don’t leave...
If you don’t have a household registration, you are a black household! Once caught by the government, the lucky ones would be driven away, while the unlucky ones would be directly used as corvees and sent to Qiongzhou to build roads.
Many refugees hiding in the crowd came forward.
"Yes, let's go home!"
"A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as my own straw nest. Bianliang is not my home, no matter how good it is!"
"I just want to stutter, so of course it's good to go back!"
Chinese people seem to have always been home-loving.
They love the land they live in, and unless this land abandons them, they will love it forever...until death does us part!
Cao An stood on the tower.
Looking out along the grooves on the city wall...
Next to him, Wang Hu was close to him, fearing that the guy would fall down accidentally.
"Lang Jun, if this happens, even if those traitors are not caught, they won't be of much use."
He looked at Cao An's back, frowned and said, "We're only a thousand miles away, what if the victims riot and steal the food along the way?"
Most people who are hungry are irrational.
It is not unheard of for disaster victims to rob food transport teams.
Not to mention, there are "three passes and six villages" along the way, and you are also bringing a group of disaster victims. If you are robbed by some group of bandits, you will have no place to cry.
Bianliang is very safe, but this does not mean that other places are the same...
"Are you interested in them?"
Cao An turned around with a smile on his face.
But Wang Hu clearly saw the killing intent in his eyes and took half a step back unconsciously.
"I don't care what you do, but remember..."
Cao An raised a finger: "Don't cause trouble! My family and life depend on this. If anyone dares to cheat me on this matter, then we will all die!"
