After Qi Haoran lost his guard, he was naturally willing to take everyone into the "village".
As the old man explained, everyone understood that Chu Qing not only built a house, but also named it Nanjiao Zhuangzi without any special meaning.
Zhou Youwei spoke again, looking uncertain and asked: "Isn't it called Chu Family Zhuangzi?"
"My boss said at first that he was going to kill the dog official Zhuangzi in the middle of the capital. Later, maybe because he thought it was hard to pronounce, he called him Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs."
Ministers: "..."
Don't tell me, the old man is not talking nonsense. Chu Qing really wanted to call it this name at first, but later Tao Ruolin and others unanimously rejected it.
Chu Qing thought the name was quite good. He wanted to kill Zhuangzi, the dog official in the capital. If anyone was looking for trouble, it meant that he was the dog official in the capital and took the initiative to take the seat.
Walking towards Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs, Zhou Youwei no longer dared to find trouble, because he noticed the emperor's eyes just looked at him, which was an undisguised disgust.
This is the emperor. If you want to find trouble, it's okay. I'll give you a chance, but you're useless. If you're useless, just shut up.
In fact, Huang Laosi could have just seized the opportunity to embarrass Zhou Youwei, but what he was waiting for was not the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, but the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Li Wenli, who had been silent.
Huang Laosi considers himself a master. When a master strikes, he only needs to hit his waist once, and every blow must come from Li Wenli.
As expected, Li Wenli, who had been silent for a long time after seeing Zhou Youwei's ineffectiveness, finally spoke. When he opened his mouth, he did so with all his strength. Of course, it was not for Huang Laosi's waist, but for Chu Qing's waist.
Pretending to be calm and calm, Li Wenli asked with a smile: "This old man has a strong body."
Qi Haoran was quite contented: "It's natural. Many children have been begging all the way from Ancheng. Even though the old man is old, he has served in the army, so his foundation is still there."
"I have to work every day to build a house, but I don't have enough food to eat. It must be very hard work on weekdays."
Finally, I got to the point, which is about food.
You work every day and don’t eat well at the end. Old man, you can survive until now. Your body is very resistant.
As expected, Qi Haoran fell into the trap. When he mentioned food, he suddenly looked sad.
"Oh, my boss is good at everything. It's just the food. Oh... I suffer, I suffer."
Huang Laosi, who was leading the way, frowned when he heard this: "Where did you get the idea of suffering?"
"What the old man fears most every day is this food."
Qi Haoran was not pretending, he really had a look of pain on his face: "The old man doesn't want to eat, but the boss forces him to eat. If it's a young baby, it would be fine, but we old men like us have to be forced to eat those things that are unpalatable." You are eating unreasonably and unreasonably."
"It's too much to eat?!" Huang Laosi's face was a little gloomy: "I'm forcing you to eat, isn't it porridge and water?"
"Porridge water?" Qi Haoran shook his head: "If I can drink a sip of porridge water, the old man will be satisfied. My boss won't even give him porridge water."
Li Wenli's eyes shone.
Sure enough, this Chu Qing oppressed the refugees and the food they ate was even worse than porridge and water. What a crazy piece of shit!
There was no need for Li Wenli to continue questioning, Huang Laosi was no longer happy.
He didn't expect Chu Qing to feed the refugees rice and noodles, but at least there should be gruel. There wasn't even gruel. The emperor really couldn't imagine what Chu Qing would let these refugees eat all day long.
This time, even Qiu Wanshan and others were paralyzed.
After all calculations, I never expected that something went wrong in the "eating" aspect.
Looking at Qi Haoran's expression, you can tell that he is not pretending to be upset. He looks very painful and full of complaints.
We must know that the fundamental solution to the problem of refugees lies in the word "eat", and the food given to the refugees must be porridge and water, which is also the most cost-effective food.
But it’s not even porridge and water. Is it possible to eat tree bark?
Tao Shaozhang couldn't stand any longer and said quickly: "With more than three thousand refugees, eating every day costs a fortune..."
"Step back." Huang Laosi glanced at Tao Shaozhang, who could only close his mouth.
Li Wenli whispered to Zhou Youwei: "Is it possible that he is like the magistrate of Lan City in Weijiang three years ago?"
The voice was not loud, but it seemed to be speaking to Zhou Youwei, but it was actually "reminding" the emperor.
As soon as the words "Lancheng Zhizhou" came out, the officials had complicated expressions.
Three years ago, the magistrate of Lancheng was commended once for his contribution to rescuing the refugees. He was praised by the court for a while, but later it was discovered that it was not the case at all.
Nazhizhou was providing relief to the victims, but instead of using rice, they used a lot of bark, boiled it until soft, and gave it to the refugees, along with a lot of weeds.
Either cut the bark, dry it, pound it in the sun and fry it in a hot pan, or use a wall breaker to stir it up, or cut the bark and throw it into the water to the refugees. This is how to eat it. Later generations of experts said If you are an expert, give it a thumbs up and say it is authentic and has high nutritional value.
But in fact, Nazhizhou really "fed" thousands of refugees to survive. Of course, he definitely didn't mention the bloating and constipation in the memorial.
For this matter, the courtiers all became the butt of jokes. Everyone praised them because they thought the magistrate had found a way to get food to help the refugees. But in fact, he relied on eating tree bark. Lancheng was short of everything, but there was no shortage. The trees are surrounded by mountains and forests, so if the refugees want to eat the bark, they can just go into the mountains and open their mouths and eat it. Why bother gathering outside Lanzhou City?
Well, judging from the outcome of this matter, yes, not many refugees died, but something was wrong with the process.
Of course, these courtiers had no idea that there were still refugees eating Guanyin soil.
So in the eyes of the courtiers, you can help the victims, but you have to use the correct method, and you have to respect others. If you don’t respect others, then you might as well starve them to death. You have to give them dignity, like We civil servants, like us, are not afraid of death, but not without dignity and dignity.
Huang Laosi was very angry.
It's not that eating tree bark is not okay, Huang Laosi is not the kind of expert who doesn't eat minced meat, but he doesn't allow this matter to be tainted.
This is not another city, but Changjing. You are helping the victims and feeding them tree bark. Where can I put my face?
If Yi stick of incense had known about this before, forget it. The problem was already mentioned by the refugees. Chu Qing was "inviting the emperor to buy people's hearts". If he eats tree bark now, doesn't it mean that the emperor asked the refugees to eat tree bark? .
Huang Laosi doesn’t want to take the blame!
The good mood was gone. Huang Laosi stopped. Before he could ask more questions, Zhou Youwei seized the opportunity and waved his sleeves fiercely.
"What kind of behavior is this? It's inhumane."
Slowly prostrating himself towards the emperor, Zhou Youwei said loudly with a look that said "righteousness is carried on both shoulders": "Your Majesty, I impeach the deputy commander of Qianqiying for buying a 'good name', bullying the people and harming them, and forcing the refugees to eat trees. Living on skin is a shocking thing, a person with a human face and an animal heart should be severely punished!"
