Chapter 2469: Situation (2)
Murong Zong asked again: "Grandpa, are you going to the border?"
The Hou of Ning'an said: "I receive news from the border every day. It is relatively stable for the time being. I will not be busy for the time being. I will go to see the lives of the refugees first. If possible, I will find a way to improve their lives. Before leaving, His Majesty's explanation,"
Murong Zong said again: "Okay, Grandpa, you have to be careful."
Ning An Hou nodded, then looked at Murong Lingran: "Divine Doctor, come with me."
Murong said: "Yes, Lord Hou."
The army began to divide into three groups and moved towards the goal.
Xue Zhongli knew that the Marquis of Ning'an was going to see the victims, so he offered to lead a team to the place where the victims were resettled.
Murong Lingran had no choice but to follow behind them obediently.
On the way, Xue Zhongli said as he walked: "Master Hou, when we initially carried out disaster relief, we implemented local disaster relief, that is, where there are many people outside the city, we will set up porridge sheds, but we are seriously short of tents and other materials. , Even if the imperial court has aid, there are still many people sleeping in the wild every day."
"The weather in Saiyuan Mansion is cold, and the tents can't keep out the cold. In the first few days of the disaster, several elderly people were frozen to death because they didn't live in the tents in time. They were shivering all over, and there were even people who were frozen to death."
"Later, the news from the imperial court mentioned the solution, saying that the school in the city or the place in the inn could be requisitioned. The lower officials and several magistrates felt that this solution was feasible, so they did as the imperial court said."
"After moving into the house, since everyone could huddle together to keep out the cold, Xiaguan tried his best to put braziers in each house to keep them warm, and there was no case of freezing to death."
"The place we are going to now is the largest school in Saiyuan Mansion, Renyi School. There are nearly 2,000 people living there. Although it is very crowded, there is nothing we can do. No problem, not if it's summer."
"Hundreds of people live in the rest of the schools and inns. We also send people to cook porridge every day, and their mood is quite stable."
Ning Anhou nodded and asked, "Is there enough food in the city now?"
Xue Zhongli sighed and said: "The day before Hou arrived, there was also food delivered from the capital. We made plans overnight yesterday. If we let the disaster victims eat twice a day, it is estimated that they will only be able to eat for half a month. The Yuanfu is now full of disaster victims, and they are distributed everywhere, and there are not many in each place."
"High-yield grains are not popular in Saiyuan Prefecture. Every household still has grain when the disaster hits, but they grow ordinary rice. After paying the autumn tax, there is not much left."
"When they fled, they did take all their food with them. Some people's food was robbed by others on the way. Some people, although they successfully took food to the city, but few Keep it, or it has been hidden until now, or it has been robbed by the able-bodied people and divided with others."
The Marquis of Ning'an said: "That is to say, if the imperial court stops sending food, then after half a month, the victims will continue to be hungry?"
