Chapter 90 Outside Xuzhou City
The fleeing people present advised the mother and son who were crying and told them not to cry. If natural disasters come, how can human resources turn the world back? What's the use of crying? Can crying solve the problem? If crying can prevent your stomach from being hungry, then there will be a lot of crying outside the city!
Wang Ping'an looked down at the mother and son who were crying bitterly. He felt unbearable, but he did not dissuade him. He said, "Cry, cry out all the grievances in his heart this time, just cry out, otherwise you will get sick if you hold it in your heart!"
The people looked at Wang Ping'an. They were all newcomers and did not know him. They only thought that he was a rich young man. He was not familiar with the world. He could not stop him when he saw others crying, but why did he make others cry? Isn't this unkind!
Wang Ping'an said to the people: "You are living in a difficult life now and are angry. If you cannot vent it in time and have no food and clothing, then as long as you are disturbed by a little wind and cold, you will get seriously ill. In the current situation of lack of medical treatment and medicine, minor illnesses will also cost you your lives!"
This kind of thing happened in every dynasty and every generation when medical facilities were insufficient in ancient times, which is by no means an exaggeration. If you are a little cold, you can get better by taking some medicine, or even if you don’t take medicine, you can get over it. But if you put it in front of you and outside the current Xuzhou city, even if you catch a cold, it will kill countless people!
But the people present didn't understand these things. They had never read medical books and did not understand the truth. When they saw Wang Ping'an actually said such "bastards", they were all angry. They saw his carriage shave down the child, and they all blamed him. Some even wanted to come up and push him to argue with Wang Ping'an!
Wang Ping'an suddenly shouted, "I told you to cry for your own good! Think about it, you are not the people under Xuzhou who have been affected by the disaster, but since you have arrived in Xuzhou, local officials have the obligation to provide disaster relief. At least they have to give you a bowl of porridge? If you just hold it in and no one makes a sound, how can the government do things without delay? So you have to cry loudly so that all the officials and men in the city will hear it. If they are afraid, they will step up their actions and take out food to help you. Why can't you even understand such a simple principle?"
If you say something else, it doesn't make sense. You have great skills. Even if the gods in the sky descend to the earth, in this case, you can't make sense if you talk about what is going to happen, just relying on your mouth and not giving it a good deal! But if you say the benefits of doing this, it will make sense immediately, and everyone present can understand!
The people immediately understood and suddenly realized it! Yes, why didn’t we expect this!
Suddenly, many people burst into tears immediately. They were already in distress, but now they know the solution, how can they not cry too much?
The coachman squeezed over with a pale face, pulled Wang Ping'an over, and whispered: "Young Master, are you causing trouble for the master! These refugees were fine, so we turned a blind eye, closed our eyes, and ignored them. In a few days, they saw that there was no hope in staying in Xuzhou, so they left. Now that you say that, they cried again, we couldn't do it without disaster relief, they refused to leave!"
Wang Ping'an said angrily: "What kind of bastard are you? Is the government not obliged to provide relief to the victims? If my uncle comes back, I will tell him this, guess how he will repair you?"
The coachman's face turned green and thought to himself: "Even if the governor comes back, I'm afraid that the repairer will not be me, but you!" He said with a bitter face: "Young Master, please don't tell the master. What you said makes sense in principle, but what the villain said is also the truth, and you will understand in the future!"
What the coachman said was that in the early Tang Dynasty, or the entire feudal society, it was really a big truth. The things like disaster relief were really twisted and twisted. They were not people in the bureaucratic system, and it was generally difficult to understand.
In the early Tang Dynasty, although it was more politically clearer than the former Sui Dynasty, some things were still carried out according to the old rules. Local officials, with a few exceptions, rarely took the initiative to provide disaster relief. What we are talking about here is not the disaster-stricken area, but the surrounding areas.
Unless you are not allowed, local officials will rarely distribute food in advance before the last moment. This reason is very simple. If food is distributed to the fugitive people, it will attract more refugees to come here, and the local government will not be under such great pressure. At the same time, these people will stay in this place for a long time, and even after the disaster, they will be postponed for a period of time before leaving, affecting the farm work in their hometown!
It is very particular about how to provide disaster relief.
When the disaster first broke out, the people fled and arrived at a place. The local officials here would never distribute food. This has nothing to do with whether the officials were cruel or not, and whether they were corruption or not. It is because the people could bring more or less some food on them and eat their own, so they didn’t have to distribute it!
After a while, the food on the people will be eaten, and then the food will be distributed. If the people do not send food and leave here, refugees will arise. Once the refugees are generated, bandits will immediately occur, and the consequences will be serious. But at this time, the food will not be distributed, because more refugees will be attracted and the local area cannot bear it, so the porridge should be thinner and the people will not leave. In this way, the pressure will be borne by each place, and there will be no major chaos, and the people will not die on the way because of the road.
After waiting for a while, the people will not be able to hold on either physically or mentally. At this time, they cannot put more porridge, but thick porridge, because if they put more porridge, a large number of people will die. There are standards for the thick porridge placed. This standard is called "insert chopsticks without falling", which means that after the porridge is cooked, the chopsticks cannot be inserted horizontally, and the chopsticks cannot be pushed horizontally!
After a while, the disaster period has passed, and then thin porridge will be put on again, because if thick porridge is added, some people will refuse to leave, delaying their return home, thus delaying the farm work. This year's harvest is not completed, will they come out to beg for food next year? Therefore, the porridge will gradually become thinner and force the people to leave.
The rulers have summarized a complete set of treatment methods for how to provide disaster relief. As long as you follow this method, there will be no accidents!
But then again, different people will have different results when answering the same test paper!
Officials all wanted to delay the deadline for food release and wanted to transfer the pressure to other places. In this way, if the time is not calculated accurately and the critical point is correct, it will cause rebellion. The rulers of the Tang Dynasty summed up their experience in the demise of the former Sui Dynasty, and Li Shimin once said relevant words.
Should we release food in Xuzhou now? Should we release food? If we don’t release it, we will really generate refugees and thus create bandits! But the problem is that Niu Zhenghong was not in Xuzhou at this time. He went to Luoyang. The officials who left behind did not delay it, but they could do it hard. The conferences and meetings were opened, and we discussed it. If we don’t drag the situation until it could not be saved, we can’t expect them to do something practical!
Therefore, what Wang Ping'an did today will not only save Niu Zhenghong's life in the future, but also save the lives of countless villages outside the city, ensuring that Xuzhou will not be robbed. If bandits really appear, Niu Zhenghong doesn't have to consider how to keep his official position. He just needs to consider how to keep his head. And no matter how he thinks, the final result will definitely be impossible!
However, the benefits of what Wang Ping'an did today are now unaware of, and will instead arouse strong dissatisfaction among left-behind officials in Xuzhou. This dissatisfaction will continue until Niu Zhenghong returns from Luoyang!
Even if the officials are like this, how could a little coachman see this? The nerd who has scolded him countless times looked down on Wang Ping'an!
Wang Ping'an looked down on him, shook his sleeves and said, "Go and move all the gifts my aunt gave me in the car and distribute them to the people. If you handle it well, I won't tell my uncle what you did today. If you don't do it well... Humph, you want to go by yourself!"
The coachman said with a tough temper: "Doesn't dare to do your best, but what should you do, the young master, do you have to send you back?"
Wang Ping'an said: "I'll go back by myself!" He asked the people to select a few respected ones, go to the carriage to collect things, and then distribute them to avoid looting.
Crushing out of the crowd, he walked back to Wuli Village and his home.
