Zhenguan Han-in-law

Chapter 503 Concerns
Standing here, Wei Hao heard the report from the captain, saying that all the workshops in Wannian County agreed to vacate warehouses, and all of them would vacate more than three warehouses, so that they could accommodate about [-] people. Very good.

Moreover, the resettlement houses built before are now being vacated. The workers in Chang’an were asked to live in the workshops, and those workshops also agreed. These resettlement houses were originally for the victims of disasters. Jingzhao Mansion doesn’t say anything about saving money to live. Now that there are disaster victims, all those houses need to be vacated. These resettlement houses can house almost [-] people, but what Wei Hao is worried about is that it is not enough. All the victims of the disaster came to Chang'an!

"Young Master, the workshops in Chang'an County have also vacated [-] warehouses, but the paper workshops and porcelain workshops are not willing to vacate them. They say they won't vacate them without the Queen's order!" Another schoolmaster Wei came to Wei Hao's side and spoke.

"Not free up?" Wei Hao heard it, and looked at the school lieutenant in shock. The paper workshop has more than 30 warehouses. It is winter now, and it is no longer possible to make paper. A lot of paper has already been sent out, at least. Three or five rooms can be freed up, so is the porcelain workshop!

"Yes, none of our personal guards can get in. Grandpa, don't you want to go to the palace and talk to the empress?" the school captain whispered to Wei Hao.

"Let's go, go to the paper workshop!" Wei Hao became furious when he heard this, and immediately got on his horse, ready to go to the paper workshop.

"My lord, calm down, calm down, I really need to talk to the empress about this matter!" The school captain immediately pulled the rein and said to persuade Wei Hao.

"I also went to my mother and said, where is the mother, eh? There are so many victims now? The whole court is now in motion, all for the victims. Those in charge of the paper workshop and porcelain workshop, are they crazy? Ah, to discredit the queen mother?" Wei Hao sat on the horse, staring at the captain and said.

As soon as the captain heard this, he immediately let go of the rein, and Wei Hao rode his horse and ran towards the paper-making workshop. When he arrived at the paper-making workshop, the door was closed tightly!
Wei Hao was riding on horseback, and the gatekeepers at the door all knew Wei Hao, Wei Hao was the founder of this paper workshop!
"Grandpa, please wait a moment, I will notify the steward!" The gatekeeper said to Wei Hao nervously, they dare not open the gate without authorization, they have opened it before, and the person who opened the gate will be arrested immediately fired.Wei Hao nodded, sat on the horse and waited. After a while, a middle-aged fat man ran over, came out from the gate, and at the same time called the porter to open the gate.

"My lord, I didn't know you were here, so I'm sorry to welcome you, please come in!" The person in charge said to Wei Hao, clasping his hands.

"Crack!" Wei Hao hit him directly with the whip, knocking him to the ground.

"Who gave you the courage? Well, who gave you the courage to vacate the warehouse?" Wei Hao asked, staring at the person in charge.

"My lord, this is a rule. Without the consent of the empress, no stranger can enter the warehouse!" The manager sat on the ground and said to Wei Hao in horror.

"Aren't you going to ask for instructions? Won't you make room first? Don't talk about the matter with your mother, because your mother knows about it and skinned you!" Wei Hao stared at the manager and finished speaking, then rode inside immediately Go, let those guards open all the warehouse doors.

Wei Hao rode in to watch, but the manager, very unconvinced, just stood outside.

"Gather the workers together and tell them that they will all be fired if the time for a stick of incense is not up!" Wei Hao said to the other people in the workshop while sitting on the horse.

"Yes!" Those people looked at the manager, and immediately went to give orders.

"My lord, you are so disobedient, this is the royal property!" The person in charge shouted at Wei Hao.

"Come here, tie me up, send it to Jingzhao Mansion, hand it over to His Highness the Crown Prince, and tell him the truth about the situation here!" Wei Hao said to a school lieutenant beside him, and the school lieutenant waved his hand, Several guards went over to hold him down and tied him up with a rope. At this time, many workers began to rush towards the warehouse.

"Evacuate all the warehouses near the gate and move them to the warehouses inside. Hurry up, someone will come to live in this afternoon, so go do it right away!" Wei Hao said to the workers on horseback.

As soon as the workers heard this, they went to work immediately, and then Wei Hao rode his horse and left to go to the porcelain workshop. When he arrived at the porcelain workshop, Wei Hao directly controlled the managers and let the workers start to work , Empty the warehouse!
In Jingzhao Mansion, Li Chengqian was already at work, and Li Tai was too busy. More and more disaster victims came to Chang'an!
"Brother, there is no way to go on like this. Chang'an City has no way to house so many people. The resettlement houses can accommodate up to 50 people, but now, there are more than [-] people outside. It is estimated that it may exceed [-] by then. Common people, if they can't be settled properly, it will be troublesome if they become chaotic!" Li Tai said to Li Chengqian, rubbing the beads of sweat on his forehead.

"If you can't settle it, you have to find a way to settle it! If there is a mess, you and I will be in trouble!" Sitting there, Li Chengqian also said very worriedly. He came here early this morning, and he didn't go to the nectar. temple!

"Your Highness, Xia Guogong sent someone to send a person, who is the steward of the papermaking workshop. The steward said that he is a brother of His Royal Highness the Crown Princess!" At this moment, a person beside Li Chengqian came in and reported.

"What did you say?" Li Chengqian heard it and looked at the servant in surprise.

"The person has already been sent in. Xia Guogong said that he will be interrogated by the Jingzhao Mansion, and he will be sent to the cell at that time!" the servant said immediately.

"Bring me in, what's the trouble?" Li Chengqian said angrily at the moment.

The prince's clan brother, is he looking for trouble for himself?

Soon the person in charge came in, and Li Chengqian saw it, and he really knew him!

"What's going on?" Li Chengqian asked.

"His Royal Highness, can you..."

"Shut up, I didn't ask you!" Li Chengqian scolded the person in charge, but asked Wei Hao's personal guard.

"His Royal Highness, it's like this..." Wei Hao's personal guard immediately told Li Chengqian what happened.

When Li Chengqian heard this, he was overjoyed, thinking that he could finally accommodate more victims, but when he heard that the manager didn't vacate the warehouse, he became very angry and kicked the manager!
"You have no eyesight, who gave you the guts, you want to trap your mother's empress and cause injustice, don't you?" Li Chengqian scolded, scolding and beating at the same time.

Li Tai is also very angry. The incident of internal funds a few days ago has seriously damaged the reputation of the queen mother. If something like this happens now, I don't know how it will be discussed by the officials and how it will be discussed by the people.

"Send Gu to the prison, you don't have eyes!" Li Chengqian cursed, and several yamen servants immediately dragged him away.

Then Li Chengqian said to Wei Hao's personal guards: "Go back and tell Shen Yong, thank him alone for this matter, and also thank Shen Yong for the things he did for the victims!"

"Yes, Your Highness, let's go back first!" One of the guards said to Li Chengqian, and Li Chengqian nodded, and Wei Hao's guards went out.

"Okay, this time we can take in 20 more people, and we have to figure out a way for the remaining [-]!" Li Chengqian was also slightly relieved at the moment.

"Brother, we still need to find Shen Yong. The number of disaster victims who dare to come to Chang'an has not yet reached the peak, and we can arrange it calmly. If there are too many people by then and the arrangement is not good, the outside of Chang'an will be chaotic!" Li Tai stood there, looked at Li Chengqian and said.

"That's right, like this, you should keep an eye on the things here first, and go to Shenyong alone, so you don't have to run away, you're exhausted today!" Li Chengqian thought about it, nodded, and said to Li Tai.

"Alright!" Li Tai thought about it, nodded and said.

Originally, I wanted to go by myself, and I also wanted to make some credit, but now that Li Chengqian is going, I can't go. Jingzhao Mansion cannot be left alone, and in the palace, Li Shimin also received the news. Wei Hao ordered Those workshops vacated the warehouses.

"It can accommodate 20 more people, okay, okay, Shenyong still has a way. Those workshops are still very useful at critical times. If the disaster-affected area is not too large, you don't have to worry about it now. !” Li Shimin said with emotion at the moment.

"It is estimated that 50 people have come to Chang'an to escape. Your Majesty, there is still a gap of 20 people. What should we do?" Dai Zhou sat there, looking at Li Shimin and asking, while Li Shimin was looking at the ministers, Those ministers have nothing to do now. "Do you have any good ideas?" Li Shimin asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the previous solution was to let them live outside the city, and the previous blizzards were not just at the beginning of winter, but around the Spring Festival, and the scale was not so large. At that time, we set up some tents outside the city. , let the people live, usually about 5 people, but now 20, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has not prepared so many tents, the gap is huge, and there is really no good way to deal with it!" Fang Xuanling was also very embarrassed at Li Shimin at the moment Said.

"We must think of a way. We can't let the people freeze to death, let alone freeze to death in Chang'an. The county magistrates in various places can't keep those people? Didn't they tell them the plan?" Li Shimin sat there, staring at the ministers and asked. up.

"Your Majesty, the plan is given, but those county magistrates also have their own plans. They also hope that the people will flee to Chang'an, which will reduce their pressure. The other one is the people. They don't want to be there. There is not enough food for them in the local area, and there is not enough room for them to live in, but in Chang'an, the chances of survival are better!" Li Jing also said, cupping his hands.

After Li Shimin heard it, he nodded, and the reality is indeed like this.

"There is still a shortfall of 20. You really need to find a way. You should think of a way as soon as possible. Shen Yong has already helped solve 20, or even 30. The resettlement house was built by Shen Yong. I didn't expect that just after it was built, I sent It came in handy!" Li Shimin stared at the ministers and said.

The ministers bowed their heads and said nothing.

On Wei Hao's side, Wei Hao just emptied the warehouse of the porcelain workshop, and then rode to the brick and tile workshop. He knew that there were many warehouses in the brick and tile workshop, although those warehouses were very simple, but It would be nice to be able to shelter from the wind and rain.

"Shen Yong, what's the matter with you?" Li Chongyi was the one who was staring here today, and when he saw Wei Hao coming on horseback, he immediately came over to ask.

"How many empty warehouses are there?" Wei Hao stared at Li Chongyi and asked.

"Here, not many, there are less than ten warehouses left!" Li Chongyi immediately said to Wei Hao, Wei Hao nodded, and rushed directly to the warehouse, and found that the warehouses here were not sealed. , there is air leakage everywhere, and there is no way to live in it.

"These walls can't be built now!" Wei Hao said worriedly while standing there.

"You can't live in these warehouses. You know that these warehouses are where the workers work, and they are sheltered from the wind and rain, but if you stay here overnight, you will die of cold!" Li Chongyi knew Wei Hao's meaning as soon as he heard it, and immediately said to Wei Hao .

Wei Hao nodded, came out of the warehouse, stood outside and looked at the warehouse, and found that it was really not good, it was okay to live temporarily.

"Starting next year, all those warehouses will be sealed in case of emergencies! Originally, brick houses are made of fired bricks, how could it be so short of bricks?" Wei Hao said to Li Chongyi.

"Okay, everything must be sealed next year!" Li Chongyi immediately nodded and said, Wei Hao was about to leave. At this time, Li Chongyi held Wei Hao back, and Wei Hao looked at him incomprehensibly.

"Shen Yong, the disaster relief has nothing to do with you, don't offend anyone because of this!" Li Chongyi looked at Wei Hao and reminded him, Wei Hao was stunned when he heard it.

"There are so many officials in the court, and Jingzhao Mansion. You can order those merchants to vacate the warehouses, but you'd better not participate in the next thing. This matter is the responsibility of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The responsibility of the Zhaofu is not yours, and His Majesty has not summoned you to solve those problems. Why should you do it? , but some people may not think so, it is better to be cautious!" Li Chongyi looked at Wei Hao and continued to remind.

"Hey!" Wei Hao sighed deeply.

"Shen Yong, go back and rest. Your Wei Mansion is already giving out porridge, and you have solved the problem of housing so many refugees. The rest should be left to other people!" Li Chongyi continued to say to Wei Hao.

"Well, there are so many refugees, how can I rest if I don't have a place to live at night? It doesn't matter, whoever has resentment can do so. I, Wei Shenyong, have a clear conscience! Since I am an official of the court, I can't sit idly by!" After Wei Hao finished speaking, he sighed again, then got on his horse and rode away.

Li Chongyi stood there, looked at Wei Hao and sighed.

"There are such officials in the court, and the people are convinced!" At this time, a manager at the brick workshop said yes, sighing.

"It's the people's blessing, and our royal family's blessing, but it's not the blessing of some officials. They probably hate Shenyong to the bone!" Li Chongyi said with a sigh, then turned and walked to the office room.

When Wei Hao went to the victims in the outskirts of the city, he found that people from Jingzhao Mansion were arranging for those refugees to go to the warehouses of those workshops. Wei Hao felt relieved when he saw that someone was doing this.

"Shen Yong, Shen Yong!" Li Chengqian also saw Wei Hao at this moment, and immediately rode over and shouted.

When Wei Hao saw that Li Chengqian dismounted immediately, he stood there and waited with hands folded.

"Shen Yong, you have helped me a lot. If it wasn't for you today, these refugees wouldn't know how to arrange it!" Li Chengqian also got off his horse and said to Wei Hao.

"I guess it's still not enough. The local people failed to keep those people. Now the people are running to Chang'an. We need to make the worst plan, that is, there are 60 million, or even 80 million people, running to Chang'an. , how to arrange it then?" Li Chengqian nodded and said to Wei Hao.

"Yeah, I'm also worried about this matter. Is there a good way? As long as you have a way, I will arrange it right away. Don't worry, the father will definitely support it." Li Chengqian stared at Wei Hao and said.

"Now there is only one way. The court rents the houses of the common people. It is rented at 20 Wen per day per room. See if each room can accommodate ten people. If this is the case, [-] houses will be needed. There are [-] houses in the suburbs of Chang'an City There are [-] private houses, and some of them have been rented out.

What's more, there are warehouses in the Zhuangzi of Shangshiyi in each Xungui Mansion. Those warehouses are very large, and each warehouse can accommodate four to 500 people. Outside Chang'an City, there are more than 400 Zhuangzi. If these Zhuangzi All the warehouses in the country are opened, and they can accommodate more than [-] people. If it is not enough, they can only use private houses! " Wei Hao looked at Li Chengqian and said.

"Good way!" Li Chengqian said excitedly when he heard this, after such a calculation, it is almost enough. If it is not enough, we can only start the private houses to resettle the common people.

"But this requires the consent of those nobles, and it is estimated that some people will complain about this method!" Wei Hao said to Li Chengqian with a wry smile.

"Who dares?" Li Chengqian lost his temper when he heard this.

"Ha!" Wei Hao said with a wry smile.

"For this matter, I will go to the father and say, don't go. If you go, others will know that it is your suggestion. Let me tell you. When the time comes, let the father issue the imperial edict. I will see who dares to object!" Li Chengqian After thinking for a while, he said to Wei Hao.

"Alright!" Wei Hao nodded.

"You go back first, you have solved the most difficult thing, and leave the rest to our Jingzhao Mansion!" Li Chengqian saw that Wei Hao's cloak was already wet, and immediately said to Wei Hao.

Now Wei Hao could have ignored the matter, but Wei Hao came out early in the morning just to run around for the victims. Now that the matter basically has a solution, there is no need for Wei Hao to run outside. The matter is to be handed over to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Jingzhao Mansion.
