Chapter Thirty-six The King and Sun's Political Decree (Part 2)

"There are people below!" A man with a low stature shouted in surprise.

Then, several men who were patrolling nearby immediately shouted and came over: "Second and third son, come and save people!"

Ju Zizhou followed several men to come up, moved the door panel, dug out the mud on the roof, and rescued an old man who was pressed under the room.

Afterwards, Qin Li immediately came over with an umbrella and carried the old man to a ox cart prepared at the intersection of the street, and transported it with other victims to a platform outside the palace for porridge.

After saving the person, Ju Zizhou wiped his face, pushed his long hair that blocked his sight to the back, and said to the man beside him who participated in the rescue of the person: "After cleaning up this household, we will completely clean up the area we are responsible for?"

"No, there are two households behind the river... I always have to go over and take a look." The honest man said: "The two households behind are Heng and Yu, and I don't know if the house collapses..."

After several men who were far away digging and saving people, they flipped through the ruins, but failed to find the copper coins as they wished, and walked over in disappointment: "It's time to clean up, right?"

"Not yet." The honest man shook his head: "There are two households left."

"Enter the mother!" A man had a cold war: "This year it's raining too much. I think I can't collect much of the food in my field!"

"I'm afraid it's the same for my family. I really don't know how people can survive this weather."

"What are you afraid of?" The person on the side gritted his teeth: "The grain was bad, and everyone else who had no titles on the other side was about to die. In three or five days, Naogong was extremely hungry, but he was just learning to use a strong man to hold a sword and cut his path. Even if he died, he could beg for food for the old man and young son in his family, which was better than waiting for death at home."

"Phiz! What are you talking nonsense!" The honest man glared.

"Quan, your bride is pregnant, right? At that time, there is no food at home, and I am afraid that my wife and children will starve to death, right?" someone asked.

The honest man's face turned dark.

As the crowd said, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the figures formed a slight closure between them, surrounding Ju Zizhou in the middle.

"Boy, you have some face. Are you from our house?" The honest man named Quan stood in front of a companion: "Ji was talking nonsense just now, don't worry about it."

Ju Zizhou frowned.

"Everyone is a disaster-affected person. The grain in your family will be poor. The millet planted in my family will definitely be flooded by heavy rain. I am afraid that there will be no harvest before the first month."

"We will go hungry together. I will report you and wait at this time. Is there any benefit?" Ju Zizhou asked.

Be careless!

Ju Zizhou sighed in his heart.

In the past, he developed the habit of not bringing weapons, whether it was poverty alleviation or disaster relief. At this time, it was the Warring States Period, and the situation was different.

You shouldn't come here to collect first-hand information!

Quan showed hesitation on his face, and Ji and the others on one side relaxed when they heard Ju Zizhou's words.

Yes, everyone is a disaster victim who is about to have no food. Ju Zizhou reports that they have the possibility of illegality and cannot survive even if they have a little reward.

Despite the relaxation, the siege has not been lifted.

These few of them are neighbors who live in one place. According to the law, if one person breaks the law and the rest of them do not report it, they will be convicted.

Ju Zizhou, a strange face that was just one mile away, could report their existence at will.

The situation at this time determined that it was impossible for them to report and expose each other's crimes - if they were suffering from disasters and had no food, they would starve to death sooner or later. At this time, everyone knew that although what chees said was a bit ugly, it was the only way to live in front of everyone.

Although it is very unreliable to say that robbery is almost unreliable in Xianyang City, there is no other way around.

So this only and unreliable path is also the only path that everyone can take.

Although Quan scolded Ji for saying "donkey words", they all knew that Ji Ji's disgust was not because of having a breaking law, but because of saying this when a stranger was next to him.

It was raining heavily, and for a moment, everyone was in a deadlock.

"Hey, are you all? Have you finished cleaning up? Come with me quickly after cleaning up, and it's time to start a meal!" Not knowing how long after, a Qin official holding an umbrella shouted at them: "Wang Sun Zheng ordered: During the disaster relief and reconstruction period, all husbands who participate in disaster relief will have meat for three meals a day and three taels of wine for three taels of wine at night!"

Before he finished speaking, Qin officials were already walking towards other areas with an umbrella. While walking, they shouted loudly about Wang Sunzheng's orders.

Quan's honest face showed a confused look.

Everyone looked at each other and looked at Ju Zizhou again.

"Why go to have a meal first? Or go see the remaining two households first?" Ju Zizhou asked.

In this heavy rain, it is normal for someone to accidentally fall and drown. Ju Zizhou does not want to "accidentally" drown.

So he took the opportunity to break the deadlock.

Quan's face changed.

Pheasant gritted his teeth and pushed him behind Quan: "Quan, you can take everyone to dinner first, and I and Qi Mu will go to Henghe Yu households to see it."

Quan frowned and finally nodded.

"That's it." Quan nodded and kindly took Ju Zizhou's arm: "Little brother, don't be restrained. Everyone is made up, how can we get along? My name is Quan, what's your name?"

"My name is Zhou." Ju Zizhou did not resist, but asked cordially: "Brother Quan, is your bride really pregnant?"

"It's been May of the pregnancy." Quan talked about his wife, smiling on his face, looking like a bullying honest man.

Everyone walked and entered the road. The men in groups of men walked forward in the rain, preparing to go back for dinner.

Qin Li on the roadside held an umbrella and shouted: "Look up, don't squeeze or mess."

Entering everyone's vision, Quan's body was slightly stiff, he pursed his lips and let go of Ju Zizhou's arm, but his eyes kept falling on him, fearing that he would suddenly report his own thing to the Qin officials beside the road to the illegal intention.

However, Ju Zizhou has always been very peaceful.

Everyone moved forward silently.

After walking for a while, I finally arrived at the platform in front of the palace.

Because of the high terrain here, there is no water accumulation on the ground. The rainfall falls on the ground paved with bluestone, and it often immediately forms a stream and flows towards the location.

As I walked, a fragrant smell of meat came to my face.

Everyone looked up and looked forward, and saw several bronze cauldrons burning from the flames under the shed that had been built early in front of them.

And the rich meat fragrance emanates from the cauldron.

"Gudu." Almost everyone swallowed.

There are many men here, and they have many differences between them. The difference is age, figure, and appearance; but there are also many similarities, and the biggest similarity is that they are all poor and all disaster victims, and have just carried out hard disaster relief activities.

They are all hungry and cold.

At this time, almost no one can refuse a bowl of hot broth.

At this time, a small figure appeared in everyone's sight.

He was very short, but he stood on the platform temporarily built in front of the bronze tripod.

This little man was talking about something briefly.

But his voice was really low, and in the heavy rain, no one who was slightly far away could hear it.

But it doesn't matter. After Xiaoren's words were finished, Qin Li began to repeat the words of Xiaoren over and over again.

"The king's son Zheng ordered: The disaster was very serious. Zheng summoned all the affected husbands in the city, who were over fifteen or under forty, to participate in disaster relief and reconstruction."

Follow the official account: Book Friends Base Camp, follow it and get cash and order coins!

"The work of disaster relief and reconstruction is to rescue people who have been crushed by collapsed houses, clean up river channels, rebuild houses for those who suffer from disasters and family losses, build dams, and build storms at the top and bottom of the fields."

"Every time a husband who participates in the workplace, he will manage three meals a day and pay a daily wage."

Quan swallowed his saliva while smelling the aroma of the broth, staring at Ju Zizhou nervously.

When he heard Qin's official shouting, he couldn't react for a moment.

For a long time, his face was still confused.

However, someone beside him cried with his head in his arms.

Quan didn't know why, but he also cried.

"Line up, line up and go forward to get the meal. Liang rice is full, meat soup is full, and there is no wine at noon!" Qin officials said, purging the team.

Quan lined up in tears to get the meal.

He did not notice that the man named "Zhou" had quietly disappeared.

"Is it done, senior brother?" The beauty around her wiped Ying Zheng's hair and wrapped him in clean brocade clothes and tiger fur.

Ju Zizhou shivered beside the charcoal basin and nodded: "It's almost done."

"Mr. Ju..." Xiong Dang looked at Ying Zheng, whose lips were so cold that his lips were white, and he felt a little distressed and puzzled: "It's just a favor to the people, why should Wang Sunzheng take action personally?"

Ju Zizhou didn't even look at him, and he didn't want to explain that his behavior with Ying Zheng was not in the city.

Ying Zheng was so cold that he was trembling, but he was extremely excited: "Because this is not about the city's grace, but about building a new relationship of power and responsibility."
