Chapter 274 Buy Food

Li Shimin was very pleased at this moment. His son was responsible and his son-in-law was capable. They both performed very well in this disaster relief. When Li Shimin arrived at the study of Ganlu Palace, the ministers also read the plans written by Wang Hao.

"Your Majesty, this plan can be used as the standard for disaster relief in the Tang Dynasty in the future. In the future, we need to consider this way. Once a disaster occurs, we must make more than three plans in advance and start it at any time!" Fang Xuanling sat down and said to Li Shimin.

"Hey, why do you think this kid is so capable? Why don't he become an official with such a capable person? This is not good, Your Majesty, can't you control your son-in-law?" Cheng Yaojin sat there, touching his beard and said.

"Well, I also have this feeling. You can't control this son-in-law and don't become an official. What a pity that a capable person doesn't become an official?" Yuchi Jingde nodded in agreement, and the other ministers nodded.

"Oh, it's not the time to talk about this. Now let's discuss disaster relief. After this disaster relief, we will think of solutions together. Let's talk about these plans. Is there any supplement to all of you? "When Li Shimin heard that they could not control his son-in-law, he was helpless. Everyone knows whether it's good. Is it interesting to expose his scars at this time?

"No, I can consider it, he has considered it, and I have not considered it, he has also considered it!" Fang Xuanling shook his head and said, and the other ministers shook their heads and said.

"Well, then let the officials of the Ministry of Revenue know the plan immediately. In addition, I want to send a supervisor. You said, whoever will be the supervisor this time, no matter who dares to reach out, I will definitely cut him down!" Li Shimin sat there, staring at the ministers and said, all the ministers were looking at Wei Zheng.

"Well, seeing Wei Aiqing is what everyone wants, you are the only one!" Li Shimin also looked at Wei Zheng.

"I received the order, Your Majesty, don't worry. If I know who dares to be corrupt, I will definitely impeach you!" Wei Zheng immediately bowed and said.

"Well, I'm still relieved to you!" Li Shimin nodded and said, and then they could only wait for news here.

But the heavy snow continued until the afternoon, and before he could stop, Wang Hao was also irritated. He took his sword and asked about the area where his father and mother gave him porridge. Wang Hao rushed to the south gate. When he arrived at the south gate, Wang Hao found that there were people in the distance who were carrying their families to come here.

Outside the city, there are now a large number of imperial guards, and they are beginning to divert refugees. They cannot live outside the city, as this will freeze people to death. The imperial guards began to take them to the porcelain workshop, the blue brick workshop, and the glass workshop. There are a large number of people living in each warehouse. Wang Hao stood there and watched with his brows frowned.

"Shenzhi?" Wang Hao stood there and looked at him, and saw a man wearing armor running towards him in the distance. Wang Hao heard the sound, it should be Li Jingheng.

"Cousin, why are you here?" Wang Hao dismounted and bowed to Li Jingheng and said.

"On duty, hey!" Li Jingheng said with a wry smile.

"How many refugees are there?" Wang Hao asked.

"To this day, it is estimated that it will not be less than 50,000 people!" Li Jingheng shook his head and said.

"Fifty thousand?" Wang Hao looked at Li Jingheng in shock and said.

"Well, 50,000. Now Chang'an County Government is counting the vacant rooms. It is estimated that in the afternoon, the old scholars and women and children will be allowed to enter the city. Otherwise, they will have to freeze to death. Look at this day, it's still going down.

Moreover, the Imperial Guards are now all dispatched to clear the roads and order the county magistrates of various places to resettle refugees in the local area first. If they cannot be resettled, they can only be sent to Chang'an. Moreover, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Personnel’s Work Department have sent officials to watch those county magistrates do things and make arrangements as much as possible first!" Li Jingheng introduced the current disaster to Wang Hao.

"How many states are affected?" Wang Hao asked with a frown.

"Thirty-five states!" Li Jingheng continued.

"So many?" Wang Hao was even more shocked. Thirty-five states, it can be said that the entire northwest direction of the Tang Dynasty was severely affected.

"Well, countless collapsed houses and the death toll have not been counted yet, but fortunately, there were no ones who were frozen to death on the road. This is the biggest contribution. Most of them were crushed to death by collapsed houses!" Li Jingheng said in a sigh.

"It's a sin!" Wang Hao also sighed.

"The Ministry of Revenue has also mobilized a large amount of food and cold-resistance supplies, but it is still not enough. Now, we are planning to purchase cold-resistance supplies from other undisastered places. Otherwise, I don't know how many people will die. The Ministry of Revenue has a surplus this year, otherwise, this level will be difficult this year!" Li Jingheng continued to introduce to Wang Hao.

"Well, that's good. Save your life first. Let's talk about the others later. There will definitely be a way!" Wang Hao nodded and said, there is no way to do it now.

"By the way, your parents are there. Look, the longest queue, your house has driven twenty-five pots directly, which can be said to be the one with the most porridge. Moreover, look at the carriages and carriages pulling out food!" Li Jingheng said in a distance, and Wang Hao also looked along his fingers and found that his father and mother had already appeared in person, and distributed porridge to the people! +

"Well, do the grain merchants in the city have food?" Wang Hao looked at Li Jingheng and asked.

"Then there must be!" Li Jingheng nodded and said.

"That's good!" Wang Hao nodded with confidence. It's good to have food. If he has money, he can buy food, so he won't worry. At worst, he can take out all the money in the warehouse to buy food. This money will probably be able to support the entire disaster-stricken people for three or five months!

Wang Hao and Li Jingheng chatted for a while, and then Wang Hao went to his father and mother!

"Dad, mom!" Wang Hao went over and shouted.

"Hey, Hao'er, why are you here? Go home and rest? There are parents here!" Du said to Wang Hao immediately, his hands didn't stop. Wang Hao looked at his porridge, and it was still very muddy. This is good, so that the people can eat enough.

"Well, dad, mom, I'll go and order some food. There are many people who have been affected this time! The food at home may not be enough! By the way, what's the situation in the village?" Wang Hao asked to the two of them.

"It's okay, everything has been arranged. In addition, our village can arrange 5,400 people. I have reported it to you. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will arrange people to go there. At that time, the people of our village will be kept at our family!" Wang Guiyong said to Wang Hao, who was also busy.

"Okay, Dad, I'll go buy food, don't be too tired!" Wang Hao said to Wang Guiyong and the others.

"I know, I'm not tired like this!" Wang Guiyong waved his hand and said, "This is saving people, how could he feel tired? Wang Hao saw that they were busy all the time, so he went back immediately to find a grain merchant."

Soon, Wang Hao arrived at the grain and learned that the grain still had 100,000 dan of grain. Wang Hao bought them all directly, 100,000 dan of grain, worth 20,000 dan. Wang Hao himself ordered someone to go to the warehouse to bring the money over, and then went to discuss with another person.

In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Hao directly bought 300,000 dan of grain. One dan of grain could allow three people to eat for a month. In other words, the grain he bought and the food at home were enough for more than 900,000 people to eat for a month. I don’t know how many people were affected.

However, if so many states are affected, not to mention other things, just Chang'an County will probably have 400,000 or 500,000 refugees. Although the population of other states is not so large, the conditions on their side are worse. It is estimated that the number of people affected will not be less than 2 million, or even far exceeds.

Snow disasters, houses collapse, and it is difficult to dig out food. Even if they are dug out, they may not be able to eat it. Therefore, now we can only rely on the court and wealthy families to save the disaster. Now there are no less than 200 porridge outside Chang'an City. All of them have surplus food at home and will take it out to save people.

That night, Wang Hao waited at home very late before seeing his parents come back.

"Dad, mom, have you eaten it? Why is it so late?" Wang Hao immediately stood up when he saw them coming back, and asked with support to them.

"There are refugees coming here. They have been away for a day and are hungry. How can they not eat without food?" Wang Guiyong leaned on the sofa and said.

"Come on, prepare the meal!" Wang Hao said to the remaining maids at home.

"No, I drank porridge and didn't want to eat it anymore! Hao'er, it's such a sin. I have lived in Chang'an City for so many years, and the snow is the most severe this year. It's still falling. I don't know if I can stop tomorrow. If I can't stop tomorrow, the people will probably suffer even more, hey!" Wang Guiyong leaned against the sofa and said in a sigh.

"What can we do our best? Fortunately, the Zhuangzi has not suffered much loss!" Du said while sitting there, sighing.

"Dad, mom, I have bought 300,000 dan of food, and I will use it to treat the victims at that time!" Wang Hao sat there and said to them.

"So much?" Wang Guiyong and Du said in surprise.

"Well, anyway, if you have money at home, you don't need money, that's the copper plate. If you use it, you can save people. If you use it, you can use it, and you don't have to worry. I have a way to make money!" Wang Hao immediately comforted the two of them and said.

"Mr. Qian is not worried. OK. If you buy it, buy it. Anyway, the family still has money!" Wang Guiyong also waved his hand and said, "The family has money."

What is 60,000 guan? If you have 60,000 guan, you will have 60,000 guan at home. If you have too much money, it is not a good thing. If you do good deeds and accumulate virtue, it will also be helpful to your future children.

Wang Guiyong and the others sat there and chatted for a while before going to bed.

Wang Hao also returned to his greenhouse and found that it was really snowing outside. He felt helpless. It had been more than a day and was still there. He really didn't give the people a way to live. Fortunately, there was a bumper harvest in the north last year and there was food, so he would not starve to death. As for whether he would freeze to death, it depends on how the court arranged it.
