Chapter 267 Measures and Disposal (4)
"So many? If they are all investigated and dealt with, wouldn't there be a lot of vacancies?"

"It doesn't matter! Anyway, there are too many people in this city who are eating official food, but there is not a single person doing practical things!"

Yue Zhengyang curled his lips and said, "Kill them all?"

Yuan Xi rolled his eyes at him, "You are the one to investigate and deal with, not to kill people! If you kill them all, the closure of the city will really change the world!"

Yue Zhengyang swallowed his saliva and said, "Understood. That? Baishi subdues the law, who will do the essay?"

"You don't have to worry about that. The king has already found a candidate. You can do your job well. As for Baishi, give him a white silk! The rest of the people will follow what we said before. All shall be executed by beheading! The rest shall all be demoted to slavery, and all girls over eight years old shall be exiled to Pingqiu County!"

"Pingqiu County? Why are you exiled there?"

"The king doesn't know either. This is what the princess means."

"Huh?" Yue Zhengyang was taken aback.

"I don't understand Yiyi's mind, but she said that she will tell me how she arranges it when the sunny day comes back!" After Yuanxi finished speaking, he said: "It's winter in the blink of an eye. This letter You have also seen the poverty in the city, and you must find a way to help these civilians survive the severe winter!"

Yue Zhengyang nodded, "Do you have plans?"

"The king ordered people to purchase a lot of coarse Gebu and cotton. It is unrealistic to make cotton clothes now, but it is still feasible to make some cotton quilts for winter."

Yue Zhengyang pouted, "Forget it, I'm not good at this kind of thing. You should discuss it with your younger siblings. I'll go first."

Yuan Xi also left the study and went to the Wenhua Academy.

As soon as he entered the Wenhua Courtyard, he saw a yard full of old clothes drying in the yard. Yuan Xi stepped forward to see that the word 'Damage Gift' was still sewn on the sleeve.When Nanny He saw the prince coming, she hurried over to salute and said, "The prince is back."

"Well, Nanny He, what are you doing?"

"Oh, back to the lord, this is what the wangfei ordered. She said that winter is coming, and she found out the old cotton clothes that she hadn't worn before, or that she had only worn a few times. She said she wanted to send them to the people."

"How come there are children's clothes here?"

Mother He smiled, "This is worn by the princess when she was a child. Before coming to seal the city, the princess ordered the slaves to go back to the Hou Mansion specially, and packed all these old clothes. There are also some clothes that the slaves can't wear. There are more than a dozen boxes of old clothes."

Only then did Yuan Xi suddenly realize: "When I said it, why did Yiyi have so much luggage, that's why!"

"My lord, my concubine is reading a book inside now, please go in quickly."

Yuan Xi nodded, and took another look at the yard filled with cotton-padded clothes of different sizes and colors, but his heart was filled with indescribable warmth and touch!This is his Yiyi, who always thinks about himself!Come to think of it, she must have known the plight of the city closure a long time ago!

When Yuanxi entered the room, Jingyi was reclining on the couch and reading a book of miscellaneous notes.

"Have you liked reading this kind of book recently?"

Jingyi saw that it was her, sat up, and said with a smile: "Anyway, it's boring to be idle, so just take a look."

"You brought so many old clothes here?"

"I thought it was just for emergencies, but now the weather is getting colder and colder. Many people still don't have winter clothes. Although these clothes are a bit old, they can still be worn. It's better than nothing. Mother He already dried a batch yesterday and tidied it up. I originally thought that I would go to the mansion in the past two days to send these clothes to the common people. "

Yuanxi gently pulled Jingyi's hand and said: "Yiyi, thank you! You are always so considerate and considerate of me!"

"Say silly things, don't you always spoil me? We are husband and wife, so it should be."

"Well, tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will accompany you to go outside the city. I have ordered people to purchase a lot of cotton cloth and cotton. Can you find some people to make quilts for them?"

Jing Yi heard it, and was overjoyed, "Okay! I was worrying, and there was no quilt! It's all over now. Don't worry, manpower, if we don't have enough manpower in the palace, I'll find some wives to find a way. Always let These people survived this winter safely." At this point, Jing Yi paused for a moment, glanced at Yuan Xi and said, "Actually, I have already approached Mrs. Ouyang Shao. She has also promised to help and has already started preparations. .Earlier this morning, she sent someone to tell me that she has collected a lot of old clothes. They are being remade now.”

"Okay, then tomorrow I'll send some people over first, and you arrange people to do it first. Turn around, if you're too busy, you can ask others to help."

Jingyi nodded, "Yuanxi, these days, I was thinking, you have taken in so many orphans in northern Xinjiang, we are closing the city, can we also follow what you did in northern Xinjiang?"

"Oh? Are you thinking of training dark guards again?"

Jingyi shook her head, "No! I'm just thinking now, can we build a charity hall first, the place doesn't need to be too big, mainly to accommodate some homeless children. When I came back from Ouyang Mansion two days ago , I met a child who was hungry and fainted, it was very pitiful."

Yuanxi nodded, "I heard what the first day of the junior high school said. You handed him over to him. Now he is fine and still lives in the outer courtyard. The first day of the junior high school asked me how to arrange him this morning?"

"Yuanxi, didn't we raid the White Mansion? The White Mansion is not small, and it's empty anyway. Why don't we change it to a charity hall?"

"Charity Hall?" Yuan Xi murmured, "Why do you think of this?"

"Yuanxi, let's gather these children together and find someone to teach them knowledge, and then teach them some survival skills. It's better than if they wander outside, or even don't learn well!"

Jingyi glanced at Yuanxi, and said: "Also, the Baifu is so big, we might as well build a school inside, and specially invite Mr. to teach those children who don't have money to go to private schools! What do you think? ?”

Yuan Xi looked at Jing Yi's somewhat excited expression, and said with a smile: "You think well. It's just that there are so many people, and it's a lot of money!"

"What are you afraid of? We ransacked the houses of two corrupt officials one after another. Are you afraid that we will run out of money? As for the rice grain!" Jing Yi glanced at Yuan Xi and said, "I'm afraid you're going to take out all the money you have now?"

Yuan Xi smiled faintly, "That's right! I do have a lot of rice grains in my hands now. How about this, you can arrange the details. I will give it to you in Baifu. You can do whatever you want. ! Just one thing, don’t tire yourself out!”

"Don't worry! I will do what I can."

Jingyi seemed to think of something and said: "I think I will go outside the city early tomorrow morning to have a look, send these old clothes to the people as soon as possible, and then go to Huayang Mountain."
