Three Hundred and Ninety-Three: Dongqing Earthquake (25)

On the third day after the earthquake, the emperor issued an order to move the capital to Chenzhou. Ｗｗ　Ｗ． ΩＬｉｅＷen． CC

Although Feng Jin and others had anticipated that the emperor wanted to move the capital, they remained silent when the decree was actually issued.

When the people heard the news, they were even more grief-stricken and cried so loudly that some old women even fainted from crying.

After experiencing these three days of earthquakes, the audience in the live broadcast room has developed a strong heart, but they are still a little sad to see this scene.

Although, they don't understand why they feel sad.

[Potato Beef Stew]: Alas - isn't it just moving the capital? It's not like the country is subjugated. Why are you crying like this?

[Big Red Date]: Bah, that's easy to say. I'm not crying about moving the capital. I'm obviously crying about being abandoned, okay?

[Old Driver Lianmeng]: This live broadcast room is not under the control of the state, so I will make an inappropriate metaphor - if such a tragic earthquake occurs in the capital of China, not even one out of ten people will survive, and the country will not be affected for three consecutive days. Any rescue action. Everyone has doubts in their hearts, but they still trust the country and wait for rescue with peace of mind. Then the above said, the capital is too dilapidated and there is no value for rescue. We have to move the capital and ignore these disaster-stricken people... Guess, the abandoned How do these people feel?

How would you feel if you were abandoned?

This country takes jujube pills!

[Potato Beef Rice Bowl]: No, this metaphor is inappropriate. If our country dares to do this, more than one billion people will be sprayed to death. Besides, with the Internet now so advanced, let alone three days without rescue or three hours without movement, the whole country would be in turmoil.

[Xuan Bu Jing Fei]: Whether the metaphor is appropriate or not is another matter. Anyway, I understand what the old driver wants to express.

[Krypton does not change fate]: Alas, if I were one of the common people, I would cry too. Facing a devastated home, what's the use of living? The country does not care, which means that the possibility of rebuilding our homes is almost zero, the future is dim, and there is no hope for the future.

In ancient times, people had blind trust in the emperor, because he was the emperor and his power was granted by God!

Abandoned by the emperor, they could not see their future at all.

In such a sad atmosphere, Jiang Pengji curled her lips.

"I really have too much energy and no place to vent it. I am still in the mood to cry at this time."

Luo Yue was born a commoner.

I was also sad at first, but after hearing Jiang Pengji's heartless words, I almost didn't mention it in one breath.

If it weren't for the emperor's orders, he really didn't want to obey this man's orders.

"Did I make a mistake?" Jiang Pengji glanced at him with contempt in her eyes.

Luo Yue choked on his words and subconsciously wanted to refute, but the words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't come out.

Subconsciously, he felt a little guilty.

Seeing Jiang Pengji's figure walking away, Qi Guan nudged him with his elbow as he passed by.

"The emperor has indeed abandoned these people, but why don't you look at them, why are they still alive now, instead of being buried in the ruins? Lang Jun is right, you have so much energy that your balls ache, so why cry? There is so much emotion. , why not be grateful to Mr. Lang?"

Qi Guanrang shook his head, with an expression that said, "These stupid people are all hopeless."

Luo Yue's expression became solemn, and he said in a dignified manner, "How can you say this? If it weren't for the Holy One's will, Mr. Liu Lang would also..."

Qi Guanrang didn't let him finish his words, and said directly, "This is wrong. If my husband hadn't been kind-hearted and asked himself to write a letter to take over this hard job, you can tell me whether the officials will send someone else to rescue the people. ? Hey, even if Langjun asked for help, he only allocated a small force of 1,000 people and gave him 500 dan of grain. How many people can be saved with this little amount of food? "

Luo Yue wanted to refute, but in the end he could only blush with embarrassment, but his skin color was darker and not very obvious.

Qi Guan asked Yin and Yang to squeeze in angrily, "There were 100,000 forbidden troops, but in the end only 1,000 were allocated. It's really a lot."

Even during the snowstorm in Beijing a few years ago, the imperial court allocated 30,000 taels of silver for disaster relief. Although very little money ended up in the hands of the people, it was still an attitude. Today's imperial court is so shameless that they beat people after giving them a thousand forbidden troops and five hundred shi of food.

You know, this earthquake affected Shangyang County, Fengyi County, and almost two-thirds of Maruzhou!

The death toll was dozens of times that of the snow disaster that year!

Qi Guanrang sneered, and his gloomy eyes made Luo Yue feel cold.

As more people were rescued, the demand for rice, food and medicinal materials also increased.

Jiang Pengji exchanged 20,000 stones of grain and a large amount of moxa leaves and reed roots. Each time, she asked Xu Ke to take people to get them. Some of them were kept for the people in Shangjing to eat, and some were transported to Fengyi County. Qu stayed there to rescue.

Shangjing was the center of the earthquake, and the casualties were particularly heavy.

Fengyi County is some distance away, there are many people alive, and the consumption of rice grains and medicinal materials is also extremely large.

Jiang Pengji can't always use the food exchanged in the mall. It doesn't matter in a short period of time, but it will easily lead to troubles over time.

If she is surrounded by pig teammates, it won't matter if she performs a great performance. The key is that each of her teammates is smarter than the other, and that won't work. If it weren't for the fact that the Liu family had so much money to spend on their second house and the grain shop business was open all over Dongqing, Xu Ke probably wouldn't have been able to get through this.

Therefore, it is important to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.

"There are many dignitaries in Beijing. There will always be some good things in the warehouses of each house..." Jiang Pengji said expressionlessly, "Anyway, these people are moving to the capital, and the things left behind will be rotten. Why not dig them out and recycle them, so that they can be used again?" The people benefited.”

Jiang Pengji said it so clearly, all that was missing was to tell everyone, let's go rob.

Qi Guanrang could accept it, because he was not a gentleman.

Xu Ke felt a little uncomfortable, this behavior was tantamount to stealing and robbing, but thinking of the people outside, there was no other way.

Meng Hun always listened to Jiang Pengji, let alone cleaning up the ruins, he thought it was okay to rob directly on the road.

The only one who objected was Feng Jin.

He had received so many years of formal education, if he ran to collude with Jiang Pengji all of a sudden, he would not be Feng Jin.

Jiang Pengji asked, "What good solution does Huaiyu have?"

Feng Jin was looked at by several people, and after a long while he said embarrassedly, "At least... leave an IOU?"

Everyone: "..."

All the people in each family and mansion ran away, who would he write the IOU for?

However, if doing so can make Feng Jin feel better, then write it, anyway, it won't take much time.

Jiang Pengji said, "Well, Huaiyu's words make sense. If the earthquake is over, people will come back to the old site and find that everything has been moved away. They may curse. Writing an IOU can at least show that we are not robbers, but just "borrowing" temporarily."

Jiang Pengji said the word "borrow" meaningfully.

Qi Guanrang smiled but said nothing. Borrowing without returning is also "borrowing".

Four days after the earthquake, the number of people rescued has reached 18,000, but the number of corpses buried outside the city is as high as 70,000.

The permanent population of Shangjing is 120,000. With this calculation, there is still a gap of tens of thousands.

Jiang Pengji plans to stay for a few more days, conduct a thorough carpet search, and then go to Fengyi County to meet up with the other 2,000 troops.
