Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 502 Placement
Wannian County is rich, very rich, and there are a lot of tax rebates from the court every year, and Wannian County has done a lot of things this year, and the roads have been repaired. The money next year can completely renovate those houses. There would not be such a big loss,
And at this moment, on the side of Zhidao, is there a messenger riding a horse to Chang'an City, and the news from all over the place is also starting to gather in Chang'an. Wei Hao and the others patrolled outside, and then went straight to the palace. After arriving at the Ganlu Hall, Wang De let them in. At this moment, in the Ganlu Hall, Dai Zhou, Minister of Civil Affairs, Duan Lun, Minister of Industry, are all there!
"Come on, look at the map. These are the disaster-affected areas. Except for Chang'an, there are many collapsed houses, and Luoyang is the same. This time, it can be said that it is the biggest snow disaster in the past 50 years!" Li Shimin said with a serious expression.

"How many furnaces does the Ministry of Industry have?" Wei Hao asked first.

"There are 2000 in reserve! In addition, there are reserves in various places. If there is no change in the reserves, there will be 3000 stoves and 5000 stoves in the disaster-stricken areas!" Duan Lun immediately answered Wei Hao's question.

"Father, you can let the disaster victims from all over the country disperse in the houses in the city, build stoves, and we don't lack firewood at all, and let the county magistrates adjust the houses, let those big families allocate some houses for those The people affected by the disaster live, and the storehouses also need to be vacated!" Wei Hao's first thought was the problem of keeping out the cold, and as for the problem of food, the Northwest has a bumper harvest this year, and there will be no shortage of food, and a lot of food is also stored in various places. Li Shimin looked at them when he heard it.

"These are not problems. The problem is, after next spring, what should we do? If those houses are rebuilt, the common people cannot afford to rebuild them, so they can only build thatched houses to live in!" Li Jing said as he sat there.

"The court subsidizes money and builds green brick and tile houses. For those families whose houses have collapsed, according to their household registration, each family is subsidized with 3 bricks and 3 tiles. Let them live first, and let the Ministry of Civil Affairs count them. Sometimes the bricks and tiles are directly brought to the homes of those people. This is the only way to do it. It is estimated that the sum of various subsidies will cost about 40 yuan per household. The collapsed houses in various places, I estimate that there are at most 200 to [-] households, and a subsidy of about [-] million yuan is needed. !" Wei Hao thought about it, and said quickly.

"200 million guan, Shenyong, if the Ministry of Civil Affairs subsidizes 200 guan, it will be beyond our means. Now everyone is waiting for the money from the Ministry of Civil Affairs!" Hearing this, Dai Zhou looked at Wei Hao in shock and said.

"One million yuan will be paid from the internal funds, next year, of course, including the money controlled by me!" Li Shimin sat there and said first.

"I donate 20 yuan!" Wei Hao said after thinking about it.

"What do you donate? You don't need it. I still don't believe that the Ministry of Civil Affairs has given out 100 million yuan. The Ministry of Civil Affairs still can't spare 100 million yuan!" Li Shimin immediately gave up and refused to let Wei Hao donate money. There is no reason for Wei Hao to donate money .

"It's okay, father, my son will probably be rich next year. This winter, those workshops need to share dividends. I think they can get a lot of dividends. The benefits of those workshops this year are very good!" Wei Hao laughed immediately. Said to Li Shimin at once.

"That's not okay, there is no reason for you to donate money, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is out!" Li Shimin still refused and said, just let the Ministry of Civil Affairs go out.

"Okay, there is no problem with this. Hey, I still want to save some money. If the court needs to fight at that time, the Ministry of Civil Affairs can still take out the money. Now the northwest, north and northeast are also invaded by the border. If we don't deter them, they may become even more arrogant!" Dai Zhou said with a wry smile.

"They dare. Although we don't attack now, there is no problem in defending them!" Li Jing immediately said at the moment, the army of the Tang Dynasty now uses gunpowder very much. Just that grenade can kill them all. The army of those enemy countries did not dare to confront Datang's army at all. They all went to harass the places where the people lived, but once they were rounded up by Datang's army, they would be wiped out.

"Well, let's hold on for a while. I believe that Datang will get better and better, and it is getting better and better now. If something like this happened three years ago, we have nothing to do, but now, the court has Money, Chaotang can use money to solve this matter, that would be great!" Li Shimin said as he sat there.

"Father, my son, let's go to Luoyang, don't worry." Wei Hao thought for a while, and begged Li Shimin.

"You have only been back for a few days, and now the straight road is blocked by heavy snow. When the snow disaster occurs, there will be some people blocking the road and looting. What should we do if we encounter danger? I believe that the officials in Luoyang can handle the matter in Luoyang Well, if it is not handled properly, I will deal with them!" Li Shimin still did not agree with Wei Hao to go,

He knew that Wei Hao wanted to go to Luoyang, but he was worried that it would be dangerous for Wei Hao to go there. It would be better to stay in Chang'an. Hearing this, Wei Hao felt helpless. After chatting for a while about disaster relief, Wei Hao returned to the mansion.

"My lord, someone from Luoyang is here to rest in the wing!" Wei Hao had just entered the mansion when the porter came to inform Wei Hao.

"Oh, let him come to the hall!" Wei Hao nodded and said,

When Wei Hao sat down in the hall, a yamen servant came to the hall, said to Wei Hao, "I have seen the governor, I am a messenger from Luoyang, Wang Biejia sent a letter to send an urgent letter, please check it with the governor!"

The messenger immediately took out the letter and sealed it in a bamboo tube. Wei Hao took it and looked at the vermilion lacquer on it. It had not been opened. Wei Hao opened it, took out the letter inside, and read it carefully. His face became more and more worried. The letter said that the nine counties of Luoyang were severely affected by the disaster, and more than [-]% of the houses collapsed. Many people crowded into the city, and some people also rushed to Chang'an. Wang Rongyi asked Wei Hao for instructions. Next what to do.

"The collapse was serious?" Wei Hao looked at the messenger and asked,

"It's very serious. Some villages don't have a safe house." The messenger nodded and said.

"Sit here for a while, come, serve tea and snacks!" Wei Hao entered the study with the letter and began to write letters to Wang Rongyi.
Tell him how to deal with it. In addition, ask him to appease the people and ensure that no people are frozen to death or starved to death. If there is a situation of freezing to death or starving to death, it will be the dereliction of duty of all Luoyang officials. At that time, I will hold them accountable Responsibility, in addition, also told Wang Rongyi that the court will subsidize the money for building the house,
After the spring of next year, I will return the people to build their own houses, and I will also order the brick and tile workshops in Chang'an and Luoyang to let them burn the bricks and tiles at the fastest speed to ensure that the people can live in the new house in the fastest time. At the same time, let Wang Rongyi open the governor's mansion and move the things in the governor's mansion to Biejia mansion. The whole governor's mansion can accommodate about 3000 people, which can also reduce the pressure on those people!

After Wei Hao finished writing the letter, he sealed it with red lacquer and asked about it when he arrived.

"You work harder today, come here, prepare dry food and water, as well as horses, and clothes to keep out the cold, and bring them to him!" Wei Hao said and ordered to the people around him.

"Yes!" Steward Wang went out immediately.

"Yes, governor, don't worry, I'll go back to Luoyang as soon as possible!" The courier said immediately, took Wei Hao's letter, stuffed it into his pocket, then handed over Wei Hao, and went out.
Wei Hao walked to the entrance of the hall and saw that the heavy snow was still falling and hadn't stopped yet.

"Where's my father, hasn't he come back yet?" Wei Hao turned to Steward Wang and asked.

"No, I have sent people to the west city, and the master is in the west city to direct the people to remove the snow from the roof!" Steward Wang immediately said to Wei Hao.

"Well, that's good. Send someone to watch outside the city. If any victims arrive, prepare porridge immediately, so that the people won't starve!" Wei Hao said to Steward Wang.

"Yes!" Steward Wang immediately greeted a servant and asked him to wait outside the city, while Wei Hao returned to his study. Not long after he sat down, Steward Wang came over and said, Li Dejian is asking to see you!Wei Hao let him in immediately!

"Brother, why are you here?" Wei Hao asked after giving Li Dejian his hands.

"Shen Yong, has the court made a decision, saying that many brick houses will be built in the northwest next year?" Li Dejian immediately asked Wei Hao.

"Yes, the decision just now!" Wei Hao nodded and looked at Wei Hao puzzled.

"I said, just now, many people from aristocratic families came to us, hoping that we would open brick and tile workshops in other places. They didn't dare to come to you, so they came to us, hoping that we could come to you and say, it is said that A court subsidy of 200 million yuan?" Li Dejian asked Wei Hao while talking.

"Yes, they came to look for you?" Wei Hao asked.

"That's right, they can't enter your house now, so they came to me and Pauline. Now the brick and tile workshop here in Chang'an is the largest one we make. Now we have nearly 5000 million bricks here. In stock, there are still 1 million tiles, all made before winter, and now they are ready to be fired. Some people are looking for us to order those bricks. They want to eat them all and sell them to the court. We don’t have any Promise!" Li Dejian immediately said to Wei Hao.

"Nonsense, I don't think who among them dares to make money for the country?" Wei Hao said angrily when he heard it.

"I don't know about other workshops, especially the workshops of aristocratic families. They are likely to do this. Shen Yong, you should say hello to the people of those aristocratic families. If they do this, is it true? What you said is to send money to the country, are they crazy about wanting money? If His Majesty finds out, he will definitely be furious!" Li Dejian nodded immediately.

"Well, remember, your workshop, what was the price before, what is the current price, and what will be the future price, no price increase is allowed, just like this price, you all have very high profits, people can't be too greedy! "Wei Hao reminded Li Dejian.

"I know, but I guess they will come to you again. After all, those workshops don't dare to build without your consent. You need to explain this to them clearly!" Li Dejian also reminded Wei Hao said.

Of course Wei Hao knows, but they can't be allowed to mess around. It's difficult for them to go to court, and they still want to make such money, so it's worth it.
When we got up the next morning, there was still snow in the sky, but it was not as big as yesterday, but the snow on the ground was already very thick, reaching people's waists, and it was very difficult to travel.

"Hurry up, pull out the food, bring the big pot, bring it over, put in the firewood, and let those victims eat the porridge as quickly as possible!" Steward Wang's voice came from the warehouse,
Wei Hao heard it and walked over with his hands behind his back.

"Are the victims here?" After Wei Hao passed by, he asked Steward Wang who was standing and directing.

"Ah, son, you are up, here you are, tens of thousands of people have come, and now we have also opened the grain depot, and we will give out porridge right away!" Hearing Wei Hao's voice, Steward Wang turned around and looked at Wei Hao. Wei Hao cupped his hands and said.

"Well, let's do it right away! Tens of thousands of people, my God, how did they come here!" Wei Hao heard this, looked at Steward Wang in surprise and asked.

"My lord, there are people from Luoyang. I specially sent someone to inquire. There are tens of thousands of people from Luoyang, and there are still people coming here on the road!" Steward Wang then said to Wei Hao. Hao is the governor of Luoyang, and the people of Luoyang are all under Wei Hao's control.

"Oh, Luoyang is also fleeing here?" Wei Hao asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Steward Wang nodded, Wei Hao thought about it, and said to Steward Wang: "Go first, I'll go there later!"

"Yes, son!" Steward Wang nodded immediately, and soon, these servants dragged the food to the gate of the city,
On the side of Jingzhao Mansion, Li Chengqian also arrived at Jingzhao Mansion's side early in the morning, and arranged for people to start opening the grain depot and start disaster relief. A large amount of grain was taken out of the warehouse.

"It's okay, luckily Shen Yong has been prepared, otherwise, with so many victims, and now the road is blocked by heavy snow, not to mention the people outside the city, even the people inside the city can't last long. Now Chang'an The people in the city know that the food here is enough to feed the people of Chang'an for half a year, so now the price of food in the city has not increased!" Gao Xingxing said with emotion as he stood there.

"Shen Yong always has a plan in everything he does. If Shen Yong went to Luoyang last year, then Chang'an would suffer. The situation in Luoyang must not be optimistic!" Li Chengqian stood there and said.

"Your Highness, the refugees from Luoyang have arrived in Chang'an, and now those big families are already giving out porridge, so there is probably no problem!" an official said to Li Chengqian.

"Are you here in Chang'an?" Li Chengqian said in shock after hearing this.

"Come on, I don't know how many more are left!" The official nodded and said, and Wei Hao immediately rode to the east gate after eating breakfast at home. When he arrived at the east gate, he saw that there were already dense crowds of people here. ,
And those big families in Chang'an City have already set up big pots and started cooking porridge. Many people are looking at those big pots with bowls. They are also starving. Wei Hao rode over and looked at those People in rags don't have positions in their hearts,
"Come here, go to the workshops in various places to inform, and just say what I said, they are limited to emptying the warehouse within one day, and each workshop needs to free up a warehouse to accommodate the people!" Wei Hao said to the guards beside him .

"Are all the workshops?" one of the captains looked at Wei Hao and asked.

"All workshops, as long as they are not controlled by the court, all workshops must be cleared out of a warehouse!" Wei Hao said to the captain.

"Yes!" The captain said immediately, clasping his hands, while Wei Hao continued to patrol on horseback.

"I've seen the governor!" At this moment, the people in Luoyang discovered Wei Hao, and some of them also knew Wei Hao, because Wei Hao had inspected various places in Luoyang before, and they remembered Wei Hao's appearance and his identity. .

Upon hearing this, Wei Hao quickly got off his horse and cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble!"

"Don't blame, don't blame, Inspector, we have caused you trouble. We will go back when spring comes. We all know that Inspector has arrived in Luoyang. The people in Luoyang should have a good life. It's just the heavy snow. It's not the time, if it's next year, we definitely don't have to flee!" One of the people who looked like a scholar cupped his hands at Wei Hao.

"Well, don't worry, understand that this guild will allow the people in Luoyang to start earning money and be able to support their families well!" Wei Hao also assured those people.

"Thank you, Governor!" The people immediately bowed their hands and said in return.

"Wait for a while, the porridge will be ready soon, and then everyone can rest their stomachs, and I have to arrange your accommodation. You can't live outside, and people will freeze to death!" Wei Hao said to those people , those people nodded,

At this moment, at the paper workshop, the captain has sent someone to notify them to empty out a warehouse and resettle refugees at that time, but the people in charge here don't even care about it, and they don't even let Wei Hao enter the door. The personal guard went in.

"Are you kidding me? This is a paper-making workshop, an important place in the imperial court. How can we allow those refugees to come in? Besides, Duke Xia has no right to order us. If you want to order, you have to wait for the order of the empress!" The guard said.

"Notify me that it has been brought. If you disagree, go and talk to Xia Guogong!" The guard said immediately.

"I can't tell anyone, let refugees come in? I don't agree!" The person in charge immediately said blankly,

Hearing what he said, the personal guard immediately turned his horse's head and drove back. Anyway, he had notified that Wei Hao could handle it at that time, and then the porcelain workshop did not agree to give up the warehouse. , Those personal guards rushed to Wei Hao's side on horseback.

"Master Guo, all the workshops in Wannian County agreed to clear out the warehouses, and they all cleared out more than three warehouses. Each warehouse can accommodate about 400 people. There are a total of about 8 warehouses, which can accommodate [-] people. Left and right." After finishing the statistics, the captain immediately came over and reported to Wei Hao.
