Chapter 94: Don't drive the scorched Xuzhou
Wang Ping'an was puzzled and asked a commoner, saying, "It's fine, why did the door be closed in broad daylight? I came in from outside the city this morning, and I can't get out of this door!"
The people said, "It's not just a flood. There are more and more disaster victims outside the city, but the government refuses to release food. You say that the people who are affected are pitiful enough, and they have no food or drink. How can you not make trouble? As a result, when the people outside make trouble, the officials are afraid and even blocked the door. You say that they have the motivation to seal the door, so why not release the food quickly and solve the problem early!"
Wang Ping'an frowned and said, "I haven't released food yet, so why should I delay doing things like this?"
Another commoner next to him said, "The government has always been procrastinating in doing things, but it's nothing but a confusion! He doesn't let go of food, at most it's chaos outside the city, but now he has to be in chaos when he seals the door. The rice price is getting higher and higher. People outside have nothing to eat, and people inside have nothing to eat!"
Whether it is the victims outside the city or the local people in Xuzhou in the city, they are dissatisfied with the government's actions, but they are dissatisfied with it. They have no choice but to complain privately!
Wang Ping'an got out of the carriage and asked the driver to park the car aside. He squeezed into the crowd and wanted to go to the city to see it. He lives outside the city. If he is sealed in the city and cannot go home, the parents of the family will not be anxious to death! If in the past, one night will be cured in the city, but now it is in chaos. He suddenly does not go home, and Wang Youcai and Yang may be sick in an emergency.
It’s strange that so many people were around the door, and the soldiers should have been very nervous. Not only did they drive people with weapons, they had to scream and make the people retreat. But what was surprising was that the soldiers were all listless and the people shouted casually, but they didn’t care. Instead, they gathered in groups of three or five, whispering, not knowing what they were saying!
Wang Ping'an passed by a small group of soldiers and heard a soldier say, "This day is really impossible to pass. Not only does the rice price rise three times a day, but some rice shops simply stop selling rice, and only a few are still selling it. My wife went to queue up last night. When I went out this morning, she didn't come back. I don't know if she could buy the rice back!"
Another soldier said, "Only our food and salary are enough to eat? It's all the fault of those unscrupulous merchants who hold the rice and don't sell it. They want to make the money that is so cruel! I don't know what the adults are thinking, why don't they arrest the unscrupulous merchants? If they continue like this, a big mess will happen sooner or later!"
Not only the people scolded, but also the soldiers also scolded them. They were seriously dissatisfied with the government's failure! Their own affairs were so anxious that they were still in the mood to take charge of the matter. The soldiers, regardless of whether there were people coming to the city or not, were worried about their livelihoods!
This feeling is understandable. Wang Ping'an did not express his opinion and squeezed onto the city wall. Before he could run to the battlements, he heard someone quarrel. He looked along the quarrels and saw a group of officials in green robes not far away, surrounding two people in light-scarlet official uniforms in the middle, quarreling in a big quarrel, one of them was very loud!
The quarreling group were the officials left behind in Xuzhou, wearing light-colored official robes in the middle. One was Xuzhou, but Mi Yuanguo, and the other was Xuzhou Sima Dai Shiqiang. The others were their subordinate officials, and Chang Qingfeng was also among them. Chang Qingfeng was blushing and quarreling with a thick neck, but he didn't find Wang Ping'an who sneaked up.
Wang Ping'an walked to the battlement and looked down. He saw tens of thousands of victims gathered outside the city, some crying and some shouting, all asking the government to show kindness and quickly send the food for disaster relief. Not only the people under the city, but also many victims came from other places, and the more people surrounded them!
He turned to see the quarreling officials. It seemed that these officials were arguing whether it was better to seal the door or to open the door quickly. According to the court's laws, unless there are military disasters and bandits, the door could not be closed during the day, so as not to cause panic among the people and cause unnecessary trouble!
Xuzhou Sima Dai Shiqiang, the one with the most voice in the crowd, shouted: "If all the refugees outside come into the city, wouldn't the whole city be in chaos? So this door must not be opened again, at least before Lord Governor returns, he must not be opened again!"
Dai Shiqiang was in the Xuzhou officialdom and was dissatisfied with the nickname. He was dissatisfied with no matter what others said. He relied on his loud voice, regardless of whether he was right or not, and he had to argue about anything, so everyone annoyed him!
Although he has a high position, some officials are not afraid of him and shouted, "How can they be said to be refugees? They have not robbed the house, they just want us to give porridge!"
"What you are talking about is a bandit, not a refugee! The difference between one word can lead to a thousand miles of error. Regarding the specific meaning of these two words, I need to listen to my detailed explanation for you..." Some officials shouted.
Chang Qingfeng shouted in a hoarse voice: "It's now, what's the use of saying these words? Either continue to seal the door, or open the door and quickly take out a charter! Lord Mi, you have the greatest official position here, so you can make your decision!"
Mi Yuanguo was a dry and thin old man with a goatee on his chin. When Chang Qingfeng asked him to give him an idea, he immediately said, "Oh, oh, I have a headache! As for this idea, everyone should take it. If you wait for the governor to come back and ask him to take it, I will never dare to take it!"
Dai Shiqiang was nicknamed Dai Busu, and Mi Yuanguo also had a nickname called Mi Lao Damn! Mi Yuanguo became an official in the former Sui Dynasty, and he was a county magistrate. In fact, it was the current official. Guanzhou was called a county in the Sui Dynasty. His official title was different, but his responsibilities were the same. For decades, the court had changed, but the official position of Mi Yuanguo was not changed.
Mi Yuanguo has no ambitions, just to survive the years, and he will go home to support himself when the time comes. The trick to becoming an official is to not do anything. When encountering big and small things, he will pretend to be dizzy and leave the matter to others. Anyway, there is no credit, so he can't be promoted to an official, but there is no mistake, and it is not easy to squeeze him down!
Just because he always pretends to be dizzy, everyone in the Xuzhou officialdom calls him Miao dizzy!
Among the many governors of the Tang Dynasty, Niu Zhenghong was definitely a powerful faction. He decided everything with one word and took control of military and political power. However, because he was too strong and he decided on everything himself, the people below did not think too much about it when encountering problems. Anyway, the sky fell and the governor was held by him, and they could not be smashed.
Before leaving, Niu Zhenghong had already explained the matter and what should he do when encountering any situation. But the problem is that the decision is good, but the execution is difficult. When encountering a guy like Mi Yuanguo, he doesn't care about anything, even if the king of heaven comes, there is nothing he can do!
The officials were quarreling with each other, and they were too many people, but they could not come up with an idea!
Wang Ping'an frowned not far away. He was just afraid that the city gate would be opened and the victims would rush in, so it was necessary to be so noisy! Seeing that others were not paying attention, he secretly came to the back of the crowd and pulled Chang Qingfeng's sleeve!
Chang Qingfeng was comparing with Dai Shiqiang. When he looked back, it was Wang Ping'an. He was stunned and asked, "Hey, why are you? How did you come up?"
Wang Ping'an said: "No one cares, I'm just here!" He pulled Chang Qingfeng aside and said something. Chang Qingfeng was stunned after hearing this, then was overjoyed, hurried into the crowd again, and said something in Mi Yuanguo's ear!
After hearing this, Mi Yuanguo was stunned and then was overjoyed. His mind immediately became "clear". He didn't say anything. He touched the goatee's beard and said, "The governor said before leaving that if the victims cried and asked, they would release the food. We have to do things as the Lord told me, so the food should still be released."
Dai Shiqiang said in a straight voice: "You are talking nonsense. The problem is that once food is released, they all run into the city. Then the streets are in chaos. How do you care!"
He and Mi Yuanguo both came from the fifth rank, and Mi Yuanguo was from the fifth rank, and he was from the fifth rank. But he was not afraid of Mi Yuanguo. He was in his prime and would sooner or later, but Mi Yuanguo had no hope, so he was not very polite to Mi Yuanguo!
Mi Yuanguo immediately took out Guan Wei, and he was one level senior to crush someone. He was half a level stronger than Dai Shi. He couldn't beat him to death. He could always be suppressed! He glared at his eyes and said, "Isn't this a small matter? Is this a small matter? Is it possible to teach you? Are your heads all decorations?"
After usually being sad about training, Mi Yuanguo said: "Isn't it okay to set up the porridge shed outside the city and drain it from afar? The victims just asked to release food, but did not say that they had to come to the city to eat. The porridge shed was outside the city, so they didn't need to come in? What else should I worry about!"
The officials present were all stunned and then everyone was overjoyed. Yes, why didn’t you expect such a simple method just now!
Mi Yuanguo said proudly: "This method was thought out by my official, and you will do it as you ordered!" He glanced at Chang Qingfeng and smiled: "Mr. Chang is a clean and upright official, so he can do this and do it well. When the governor comes back, he will definitely ask for merit for you!"
Chang Qingfeng hurriedly said, "With Lord Mi's trust, the official will do this well!" He turned around and raised his thumbs to Wang Ping'an.
Wang Ping'an shrugged and smiled!
