Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 274 The court is with you!
Although Jinan is the capital of Shandong, the situation is not necessarily good, especially after leaving the city.

Stepping on the long-cracked land, looking around, there are withered and dilapidated crop seedlings everywhere. Occasionally, you can also see a few corpses that have not been cleaned up in time, attracting buzzing flies.

Although in his heart, Chen Yunfu had long been prepared for all the tragedies, but after witnessing this with his own eyes, Chen Yunfu still couldn't help but feel a burst of shock, palpitation, and heartache!
Jinan Mansion is the most prosperous mansion in Shandong.

"The situation after the disaster is very pessimistic."

Sun Siye accompanied Chen Yunfu, and then introduced a rough-faced man who hurried over to Chen Yunfu.

"Master, this is General Sheng Yong, commander of our Shandong capital."

"The last general Sheng Yong, please refer to the young master Jin An."

The hairy-faced man Sheng Yong cupped his fists in salute: "Master, please forgive me for not being able to salute with the armor on."

In terms of rank, Chen Yunfu and Sheng Yong are very different, and Chen Yunfu himself also has the title of military commander of Shangzhu Kingdom, so, really care about it, Sheng Yong wants to kneel when he sees Chen Yunfu Kneel down.

"No, the etiquette law has been revised, and it will be promulgated early next year. Except for Chaohe Yijun, there is no kneeling ceremony."

On the one hand, he stated that there is no need to be polite, but on the other hand, Chen Yunfu suddenly felt that this name seemed so familiar?
Oh yes, the one who blocked Zhu Di in Shandong and Tie Xuan in the Battle of Jingnan.

But now Chen Yunfu was not in the mood to chat with this Sheng Yong, and asked straight-eyed: "What's the situation in Jinan now."

Sheng Yong was startled.

He originally thought that Chen Yunfu would chat with him first, but he didn't expect Chen Yunfu to be so straightforward, and he naturally had a good impression in his heart.

Now that human life is at stake, Sheng Yong is really afraid that Chen Yunfu will talk about what is there and what is not, so, as a subordinate, he still has to accompany him.

"Basically, the damage caused by the drought has been brought under control. Now the 26 million people in the four prefectures and 130 counties under the jurisdiction of Jinan Prefecture have all been resettled. Under the leadership of the cabinet officials, the resettlement work is very smooth. Now that the water is connected, there will be no major problems."

"That's good, that's good."

Chen Yunfu nodded repeatedly, breathed a sigh of relief, and pointed out at the same time: "Now is the post-disaster recovery period. During this period, we must ensure that no more people will die."

"Yes, please rest assured, Young Master, if you have anything to do, you can order it, and the general and Shandong Dusi will definitely go all out."

Looking at the outside of the city, Chen Yunfu was surrounded by soldiers who were ordered to patrol to maintain law and order and carry corpses to clean the roads. He nodded and said, "General Sheng, you can do your own work. Benfu can see for himself."

Sheng Yong hesitated for a moment: "Master, your safety"

"Isn't there a Jinwu guard guarding this place? It's okay."

Sheng Yong saw that Chen Yunfu insisted that he couldn't stay any longer, so he cupped his fists and bid farewell, saying: "The young master has something to do, and I ordered people to pass it on to the general, and the general heard the order so quickly that he didn't dare to delay."

Chen Yunfu nodded and watched Sheng Yong go, then took Yang Shiqi to look around.

Accompanied by Sun Siye and Yang Shiqi, Chen Yunfu came to a village about ten miles outside the city. Just after entering the village, Chen Yunfu's ears were filled with heartbreaking cries.

As far as the eye can see, hundreds of people with emaciated faces are searching for corpses, even lying on the corpses and crying loudly. Chen Yunfu wanted to shout, but found that he couldn't say anything in this place filled with endless despair .

Naturally, the villagers also noticed Chen Yunfu and his party, but no one paid any attention to them. More people stood by the corpses of their relatives, their eyes were dull, and they were like soulless bodies.

A child was sitting on the ground, beside him were two corpses, one male and one female.

The child just sat there, dazed and dazed. Perhaps, he didn't even know what the reality he was facing. The only thing he knew in his little head was doubts.

Parents who respond to their voices on weekdays, why do they suddenly ignore themselves?

Why did the originally warm embrace suddenly become so cold.

It was clearly a day with the scorching sun hanging high, why was there darkness in front of my eyes.

Chen Yunfu didn't know what to say at this moment, so he looked at Yang Shiqi and said, "Go, order people to go back to the city and fetch some national flags."

Take that flag?

Yang Shiqi didn't understand what Chen Yunfu was planning, but he still followed the instructions.

A Jinwu guard rushed back to Jinan City at full speed, and brought back several bright red Ming flags from the yamen.

The sun, moon and dragon flags are so beautifully embroidered, so majestic, and so exciting.

Chen Yunfu broke off a branch, tied a national flag to the branch, stepped on a chair, and shouted loudly.

"Fathers and folks, my name is Chen Yunfu. I am the prime minister of the imperial court. On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, I am here to see you!"

Ordinary people don't understand what a state is, what is a prince or a teacher, but the prime minister, the common people basically understand what it means.

They know what a prime minister is, and even more what an emperor is.

Now hearing that the young official standing at the entrance of the village turned out to be the prime minister, and said that he was visiting everyone on behalf of the legendary emperor who was reincarnated from heaven and man, everyone involuntarily turned their attention to Chen Yunfu, including those who were still crying people.

At this moment, the dazed and ignorant child followed everyone's eyes and looked at Chen Yunfu.

Look at this young big brother shining brightly in the afterglow of the sun.

Chen Yunfu stopped his sudden grief of wanting to cry, and continued to shout loudly.

"Folks, please don't be afraid. Now that the water has flowed, the imperial court has sent people to guard the upper reaches at this moment. They have been unremittingly dredging the river day and night, digging wells, and the water will never stop!

Even if it never rains on this day, the big guy will not die of thirst. Even if the land cannot be farmed for a year or ten years, the imperial court will send a steady stream of food to Shandong to ensure that every commoner will not starve to death due to lack of food!
The court will not give up on you, have you seen the flag I am holding in my hand? This is the flag, the flag of the country. Today, I will put this flag here. The flag is here, and the country and the court will last forever. It's all here!My prime minister is here, and so is His Majesty the Emperor!We are all here with you!

We will accompany the folks to overcome this disaster. Now, folks, please don't despair and don't be afraid. Follow the command of the government, actively carry out post-disaster recovery work, and collect the corpses and burn them collectively. I know, I know every one of them The corpses are all your relatives, and they are also my relatives, the flesh and blood of my compatriots, the prime minister of the imperial court.

But they have been dead for too long, and the corpses will produce plagues and diseases. Don't let these diseases and plagues cause more living people to suffer again.

Please put away your grief, collect, burn, and bury quickly. Those who have no food can go to Fucheng to get food. His Majesty the Emperor and I hope that everyone can live bravely, strong, and healthy! "

Chen Yunfu's shout fell silent, but there was still no response for a long time, so Chen Yunfu could only continue to shout: "Who is the village chief or patriarch?"

The villagers finally had a faint reaction. An old man came out tremblingly, walked up to Chen Yunfu step by step and was about to bow down, but was supported by Chen Yunfu.

"Are you the village chief?"

"Yes."

Facing the prime minister, the old man looked terrified.

Chen Yunfu only said four words: "The imperial court is here"

A gleam of light suddenly appeared in the village head's muddy and numb eyes, perhaps it was Chen Yunfu's impassioned statement before, or maybe it was the sun, moon and dragon flag that was whistling and sounding in Chen Yunfu's hand, which made people The village chief seemed to have been given a booster, and he became much younger in an instant.

He muttered: "The imperial court has not given up on us."

Chen Yunfu held the village chief's callused hand, warmed the village chief's desperate and sad heart, and said in a firm tone.

"The imperial court will always be there, just like when it led you to drive away the Mongols 26 years ago!"

The village head suddenly raised his head, and at this moment, his old eyes were completely lit up.

"Here, I leave it to you."

Chen Yunfu stuffed the national flag in his hand into the arms of the village chief: "Take him well and lead the villagers to live!"

Take the flag and lead the villagers.

Live!
