At the entrance to the West Gate of Beijing, many refugees gathered together. They were wearing thin clothes and shivering in the cold wind. Each and every one of them looked at the tall city gate from time to time. Inside was another world, and at the same time they were very scared.
Looking at the guard at the city gate, I only regretted that I didn't have wings.
The guards guarding the city gate were also very nervous. Hundreds of gangsters were crowded at the city gate. When they looked at it, the whole eyes were filled with darkness.
Each of these hooligans were carrying large and small bags, their clothes were in tatters, and they were as skinny as firewood, their eyes were shining, and they just barely had the word "refugee" written on their faces.
Normally, if there were only one or two people, these guards would just turn a blind eye and let them in. But now, when hundreds of people crowded in, these guards would never dare to let them in.
If the blame comes from above, it will be a trivial matter even if they lose their iron job. If these gangsters make some trouble again, they might even be beheaded.
You must know that once people are in a desperate situation, they can do anything. Stealing and robbery are nothing. In the past winter, when refugees entered the city, various cases would occur frequently, so refugees were generally not easily allowed to do so.
Those who entered the city, let alone hundreds of people at once.
"Back off~ back off, everyone spread out, otherwise I will arrest you all."
At the city gate, the guards guarded the city gate and began to drive away the refugees.
Seeing the bright weapons of the guards, these refugees were all very scared and did not dare to approach the city gate easily. However, they did not really disperse. They gathered in small groups with their fellow villagers and fellow countrymen and did not dare to make any noise.
I just looked at the tall city wall quietly, trying to see the prosperity of Beijing through the city gate.
"what happened?"
The car door of Emperor Hongzhi and his party stopped at the city gate, and Emperor Hongzhi also quickly asked Xiao Jing.
"Your Majesty, please wait a moment, I will go over and ask."
Xiao Jing did not dare to neglect, and quickly came to the city gate to guard the place, showed a sign, and the other party immediately became extremely respectful and truthfully told everything that happened here.
"Back to Your Majesty, I have just made it clear that hundreds of refugees have gathered here at the city gate. No matter how hard the guards try to drive them away, they refuse to disperse."
"Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace. Once these refugees collide with the Holy Emperor, I will be the one to blame for death."
Xiao Jing came to Emperor Hongzhi's carriage and replied respectfully.
"Hundreds of refugees?"
Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang were all shocked when they heard this.
They were not unaware of the fact that refugees came to Beijing this winter. Refugees would come to Beijing more or less every winter, but they did not expect that hundreds of refugees would gather just at the gate of Xibianmen.
This number is a bit scary.
"I'll go over and have a look~"
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't sit still anymore and walked out of the carriage. Under the strict protection of the guards, he came to the city gate. Looking at the dark mass of refugees in front of him, Emperor Hongzhi's mood that he had just recovered quickly disappeared.
Each of these refugees was dressed in thin and very tattered clothes, unkempt, and skinny. When the cold wind blew, each of them shivered and seemed to be on the verge of collapse, with bulging eyes that gleamed with hunger.
These refugees are old and young. The old ones are all gray-haired. The young ones are just a little baby, still in infancy. At this time, they are crying because of hunger. The baby's mother has no food and no nutrition.
There was no milk at all to feed the baby, so she could only keep coaxing her, with despair in her eyes.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes welled up with tears. Compared with the Yaomei he met at the door of Xishan Coal Store, these children among the refugees in front of him have a harder life. Can they survive this moving city?
It's hard to say.
"Xiao Jing, ask someone to buy some food and give them a full meal."
Emperor Hongzhi quickly returned to the carriage, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, thought about it and said to Xiao Jing.
"Yes~" Xiao Jing replied respectfully, then thought about it and asked: "Then are we still going to Xishan?"
"Go, of course."
Emperor Hongzhi was in a bad mood. The moment he saw these refugees, he knew that he had failed as an emperor. What he said about Hongzhong's resurgence and what was comparable to Tang Zong and Song Zu were just used by his ministers to pat him on the back.
It's just shit. If you ask these refugees, they will probably point their noses in their noses and call themselves a dog emperor.
Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang also saw that Emperor Hongzhi was in a bad mood and remained silent along the way. To them, the refugee problem was nothing at all. It was something that happened every winter in all dynasties.
.
If you let people organize porridge and then let the guards disperse it, nothing will happen. How can these refugees rebel? As soon as spring comes and the weather warms up, these refugees will naturally disappear.
Everyone arrived in silence all the way to Xishan. When they arrived at Xishan, Emperor Hongzhi was in a slightly better mood, because the entire Xishan was very busy and prosperous.
Soon, Emperor Hongzhi found Liu Jin. At this time, Liu Jin was designing a four-wheeled carriage. Every time he made it, something was always missing. There was a detailed tutorial on the four-wheeled carriage in the system, but Liu Jin was reluctant to give up points, so he also wanted to
I want to figure it out by relying on the little knowledge I learned later.
"Mr. Zhu is here. He doesn't seem to be in a very good mood?"
When Emperor Hongzhi and his entourage arrived, Liu Jin behaved very normally. Anyway, since you don't disclose your identity, I will treat you as an ordinary person, so as not to have to kneel down and kneel down again, and I have to pay attention to my wording.
Looking at Emperor Hongzhi's dark face, Liu Jin also knew that Emperor Hongzhi should not be in a good mood.
"Well, I am indeed in a bad mood. When I just left the city gate, I saw a lot of refugees. Each of these refugees was really miserable. There was a baby who was so hungry that he kept crying..."
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jin, and he didn't know why. He suddenly felt that Liu Jin might have a way to help these refugees, so he told what he saw. When he said the rest, he couldn't help but choke up.
Already.
He is the emperor, so he can help these hundreds of refugees survive this winter, but he is the emperor of the entire world, and the things he considers are also related to the entire Ming Dynasty. After helping these hundreds of refugees, there are many more people in the world.
What to do?
"This is easy to handle. We can provide relief through work. I was just about to discuss this matter with you~"
When Liu Jin heard this, he thought it was something and said it almost without thinking.
