Chapter 11 Xiaoren Xiaoyi
Li Yuanai did not enter Yangzhou City. Sizhou is now a time bomb, and it is possible to detonate at any time.
Humans are rational animals, but when they are extremely hungry and desperate, they are no different from wild animals.
The earlier you arrive in Sizhou, the more you can stabilize the situation in Sizhou.
Arranged things in Yangzhou and mobilized a thousand elite soldiers as guards. He rushed north to the front disaster area.
Wang Wendu and the ancient god saw Li Yuanai like this, and both of them were deeply moved, and both thought, "If the King of Wu is the prince, how can we be careless?"
After Wang Wendu issued the appointment to recruit fishermen, he immediately met all the gentry in Yangzhou City.
The ancient god also took out all the ships of the Yangzhou Navy and repaired them and prepared to go to sea.
This is not only true in Yangzhou, but also in Jiangnan.
Upward and downward effects.
The kind of boss you have, the kind of subordinates you will have.
Li Yuanai was so desperate that he visited the disaster area. The officials in the rear were either imitating it or dared not drag it down. They all corrected their attitude and carefully handled the disaster relief follow-up, giving Li Yuanai the greatest support that had already penetrated the disaster area.
Li Yuanai didn't know how to describe her mood.
He thought he had seen the world.
A later generation listened to the war-going emperor in China on the ice to guide the battlefield...
Watching the mighty and majestic Tang elites fighting bravely with Goguryeo soldiers...
Watching the passionate blood spread across the river, watching the thousands of blood gather into a stream, and then frozen into blood ice...
Watching tens of thousands of heroic soldiers dealing with frostbite and knife wounds in the wounded barracks...
He thought that situation was the limit.
But when he stepped on the rain and entered the disaster area, Li Yuanai realized that he really knew nothing about the disaster.
Walking on the official road, lifeless victims were lying on both sides of the road. They looked blank and let the rain and cement slurry hit them.
Some of them have even starved to death on the streets, and the gray and white soaked in mud and water have become a corpse, but the people around them are completely ignorant and are numb...
Faced with such a harsh environment, the first ones that cannot stand up to be the elderly and children.
Looking at the skinny and strong man kneeling in front of his parents, watching the woman holding her starved child, sitting numbly, not knowing whether it was rain or tears on her face...
Li Yuanai was so upset that he could be like this?
He couldn't accept it, and was in a low mood. He suddenly looked at a hatred look.
The other party is a very ordinary person, but there are two corpses around him.
When he met Li Yuanai's gaze, he lowered his head in horror, almost burying his head in mud.
Li Yuanai sighed secretly: Thinking about it from the perspective of others, if his family starves to death, how can he treat a rich man with a smell of alcohol and meat when he meets a rich man with a normal mind?
Looking at the people who didn't dare to look at him at all, Li Yuanai calmed down. He knew that there were many such people. Wasn't he just giving them hope when he came here?
"People come and distribute the prepared tea rice, and everyone has it. Tell them that the court will not abandon them. My King of Wu Li Yuanai came to provide disaster relief this time on the order of the emperor. I met with the food to the villages and towns along the way, and those who received the food went to Sizhou on their own. The court arranged a disaster relief shed in Sizhou, and everyone would get food and accommodation arrangements."
He had already made complete preparations, knowing that there would be news or encounter victims who fled along the way, and prepared a lot of cooked food.
In order to supplement nutrition for the victims, tea rice was specially prepared.
He said, waving his hand to attract a brigade commander, leaving him with a hundred men behind the palace and burying all the bodies.
As a later generation, Li Yuanai still has common sense.
Corpse is the easiest way to breed bacteria. After the disaster in ancient times, there was a great relationship between the failure to deal with the corpse in time.
And if the body is lying on the road, the passing victims will feel pessimistic when they see it.
It has to be handled anyway.
To calm down, Li Yuanai distributed food to local village officials, while calling on the victims to rush to Sizhou.
The deeper this goes into the disaster area, what you see and hear is even more miserable.
At the same time, I also thought of the great turmoil in history: at the end of the Han Dynasty, white bones were exposed in the wild, and there was no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. I thought of the records that the epidemic was prevalent at the end of the Sui Dynasty, without smoke from thousands of miles of cooking, and the fields were lush grass.
Li Yuanai dare not imagine how the people survived in such a turbulent era.
This also strengthened his belief and determination to provide disaster relief.
Even small-scale turmoil cannot occur.
It's really hurt.

Sizhou.
Cao Jiang inspected the disaster relief porridge shed and returned to his mansion. His face was solemn and grim. He strode to his study, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Please invite Mr. Liu!"
Cao Jiang is a gentry in Sizhou. He is generous and enthusiastic. He is known as Mengchang. He is also skilled in pistol surgery. He is very good at both black and white.
When this disaster came, Cao Jiang was the first to open a porridge shed to help the victims.
"How is the situation?"
When Mr. Liu entered the study, he sat in the main seat and asked, but he could not tell that he was a guest at all.
Cao Jiang said respectfully: "It's not very good, it's already spread outside. King Li Yuanai of Wu came to Sizhou in person and came to provide disaster relief with His Majesty's order, and distributed food along the way. Now everyone in the disaster victims near Sizhou are looking forward to the King of Wu, without any resentment."
Mr. Liu pondered for a while and said, "It's not surprising. I'm afraid that the above did not expect Li Yuanai to be able to do so and come to Sizhou with the honor of the prince."
In ancient times, the prince was a superb existence second only to the emperor, queen and prince. He came in danger and encouraged morale in an indescribable way.
"Then, will our plan be stopped?" Cao Jiang secretly glanced at Mr. Liu and said, "The King of Wu is already wise and far-reaching. Now the morale of the people is high. It is not easy to encourage them to raise trouble."
Mr. Liu cursed angrily: "A bad thing for a fool... What a wise man, extremely ignorant. The plan cannot be changed. For the sake of our Tang Dynasty, the victims must rebel. Li Yuanai's kindness and righteousness are extremely ridiculous in the face of the overall situation. The above meaning is very clear, and the disaster cannot be relieved for the disaster of the court..."
Cao Jiang struggled a little, but Mr. Liu explained it to him from the beginning.
The weather is not good every year, and disasters are everywhere.
There were also wars, and the court's economy and food were tight.
The Jianghuai River and Huai River floods are unprecedented in the area of disaster. Blind relief will drag down the economy of the court and cause turmoil in the world.
Turning the victims into mobs, cleaning up a group of people, leaving a small number of people to provide relief, will not only reduce the court's face and good deeds, but also minimize the losses of the court.
This is the most beneficial move to the court.
No destruction or establishment.
For the sake of the Tang Dynasty, some victims of the Jianghuai River were sacrificed.
Cao Jiang thought it was worth it.
In fact, he knew very well that it was not worth it, but that he had no choice.
This statement can make you feel at ease.
