Chapter 452 Disaster Relief
Zhu Cilang thought about it, sometimes his father, Emperor Chongzhen, was indeed pitiful. He did something wrong, God should treat him like this.
Chongzhen was not a foolish monarch, not a foolish monarch, not a foolish monarch. He said important things three times. Throughout his life, Chongzhen has been working hard to change the current situation of the Ming Dynasty.
However, Chongzhen was like a lost child, and he couldn't figure it out. He didn't know what to do, and he was very confused inside.
Now Chongzhen finally has a trace of direction, and he has a son. Crown Prince Zhu Cilang, this young prince, has brought so many changes to the Ming Dynasty.
He can think of the sweet potato seedlings. This will save a lot of food. In the future, these sweet potato seedlings can become life-saving food for disaster years.
Sweet potatoes seem to be born specifically to save the people of the world. This thing produces a huge amount and can be eaten all over the body. Even when you are young, you can pick its leaves to satisfy your hunger. Moreover, picking sweet potato leaves does not have much impact on its growth.
It doesn’t matter if you can’t eat sweet potato seedlings. Cook them in a large pot and then dry them. Soak them in water when eating and throw them into the pot. It won’t be a problem to store until next year.
However, when we are not hungry, we eat tender leaves of sweet potatoes. It is only for eating them as rare substances. The tender leaves of sweet potatoes are rich in nutrients and contain a variety of nutrients and are very beneficial to the human body.
But who cares about these in the disaster year? The thick sweet potato seedlings are not delicious. In fact, they are very unpalatable, but even the most unpalatable food is still full of food.
Chongzhen cried, excited and wronged. It was too difficult for him, but fortunately he finally found a solution. So the imperial village began to take action.
The sweet potatoes have reached the harvest season, and cutting off the sweet potato seedlings has no effect on them. The villagers of the imperial village started to take action, and bundles of sweet potato seedlings were transported down the mountain. The villagers cooked them in a homemade pot and then dried them...
Chongzhen issued an order that all prefectures and counties in the capital should not prevent the influx of refugees. As long as there are refugees entering the city, they will accept as much as they can. Porridge sheds, sweet potatoes, seedlings, and mixed grain porridge, and boil a pot of pots, regardless of the heads.
The number of disaster victims in the capital finally began to increase, and a large number of refugees flocked to him. Zhu Cixuan took the Jinyiwei to be responsible for the disaster relief plan.
Soon, problems appeared frequently. The influx of refugees was far beyond expectations.
On the streets, there are hungry people with ragged clothes and family members everywhere. They are like a group of gluttons, and they will never be fed.
Luo Yangxing was with Zhu Cilang, and he was also vaguely worried: "Your Highness, there are too many refugees. We don't care about the flowing table, this is not enough for them to eat."
Zhu Cixuan also found the problem: "How come there are so many people?"
These refugees, more than twice as many as expected, have more than twice as much food as they eat.
Luo Yangxing was also strange: "Your Highness, the emperor, as your instructions, when the refugees were released into the city, he had already registered the city gate guards one by one. It is estimated that there will be about 30,000 refugees entering Beijing, and there will be three to five thousand new people every day. But the daily food we consume in the porridge sheds in various parts of the city will be more than 50,000."
Zhu Cilang sneered: "This is reasonable. Some people are pretending to be a disaster victim and rob porridge."
Luo Yangxing was stunned: "Impersonating a disaster victim?"
Zhu Cilang nodded and pointed out that some of the victims who looked clean and were eating porridge with chopsticks, saying, "Look at them, what's the difference?"
Luo Yangxing looked at it for a while and finally realized something was wrong: "They are picking on food."
Yes, some of these victims are picking on food. Some of them pick out the sweet potato seedlings that they don’t like in the mixed grain porridge in the bowl and throw away. Many even dump half of the porridge and the rest. Because it is not to their appetite.
And those real hungry people ate all the bird eggs. The bowls were empty, and no matter how unpalatable the food was, they would not refuse them as long as they could eat them.
At the beginning of disaster relief, this kind of thing is always hard to guard against. There are many people who want to get a bargain, and it is useless to drink porridge that doesn’t cost money.
With the large number of refugees, you don’t have so many people to register them one by one. Moreover, refugees are still pouring in in large numbers, so you can only roughly count them, which has a big error.
Luo Yangxing was furious: "Go and get rid of them."
Zhu Cixuan stopped him: "I want to take advantage of the star-dou people. Just catch such people and hit the top twenty."
Luo Yangxing nodded and bowed: "The official understands."
Then, the Jinyiwei began to act. If you don’t check it, you will be shocked. There are quite a few people who are hiding among the refugees. Some people stay near the porridge shed for two meals a day. After eating, they will go home with their bowls and chopsticks.
The Jinyiwei was all cruel and ruthless. Soon, he picked out a few guys who were really too blatant from the victims.
Then, he grabbed these people and pressed them to the ground and beat them up.
"I am wronged, I am wronged. My villain is a disaster victim, but he is a disaster victim."
One of the Jinyiwei is not a good man: "The Jinyiwei will wrongly accuse some good people when handling cases, but he will never let a bad person go and beat me!"
You may wrongly accuse some good people, but you will never let a bad person go. It seems that this is the true portrayal of the Jinyiwei. There are not many unjust cases created by the Jinyiwei, and there are countless bad people who have been punished.
Near the porridge shed, bursts of howlings sounded. Luo Yangxing caught dozens of people and served them with a big slap. Finally, these pretenders limped home.
Luo Yangxing came over: "Your Highness, the subordinate arrested thirty-seven people. These people were all people who pretended to be disaster victims."
Zhu Cilang nodded: "Luo Yangxing, if these people learn to be good and pretend to eat all the food in the bowl like refugees, and do not pick them up, what other good ways do you have to distinguish between these people and those who are refugees?"
Luo Yangxing was stunned: "Your Highness, this, this is the official who can't tell."
Zhu Cilang smiled slightly: "I teach you a good person, Tongxian, Wuqing County, Gu'an County, and this situation has also occurred in various counties. Officials in those places put a few handfuls of sand in the porridge. The refugees were hungry and would not care whether there was any sand. But these people could not eat such food."
Luo Yangxing suddenly realized: "Your Highness means, let's put a few handfuls of sand in the porridge?"
