Chapter 898: People redress their grievances, the situation has changed
"Thank you, sir!"
Senior High School student He said gratefully!
"In addition, all our fields are soaked in mud and water and cannot be planted at all. Our villages have been washed away. Now we have nowhere to go even if we return home!"
"Repairs have begun on the washed-out villages, but now the people are not enough! After you come down from the mountain, I will first resettle the old, weak, women and children, and all the young and strong will be recruited by the court to work as relief!"
"After you come down from the mountain, the old, weak, women and children will be given one or two and a half rations of grain and rice every day as rations! All the young and strong will be paid by the court to repair villages, embankments, and clean up rivers! The same one and a half rations will be given every day when they are free and when they are working. A ration of two and a half taels a day, and each person gets a hundred wages per day!"
Having said this, Shen Tang sighed softly, "I know that these rations are not much.
However, at least everyone can survive! The imperial court is not a bottomless pit. There are nearly 100,000 victims in Lianshui County and Xi County, and there are 300,000 victims in the entire Xingyuan Prefecture and Yangzhou next door! So! , I can only guarantee that you can eat, but I cannot guarantee anything else!"
Shen Tang said it sincerely, and the second year of high school and He were also very satisfied! One or two grains of rice a day is indeed not enough for people to eat.
However, at this time, having a bite to eat is a great thing, and other requirements are really a bit luxurious.
Besides, poor families do what poor people do after all! There is not much grain and rice, but as long as there is no deduction, these grains and rice are mixed with some bark, crushed some straw and other things, and you can even save three meals...
Not to mention, if you go to work when you are young, you will still get paid!
"Sir, are you telling the truth?"
Senior High School student He asked with a bit of excitement.
Shen Tang looked directly at him, "I am an imperial envoy appointed by the emperor. If I cannot do it, I will not make a promise.
However, as long as you promise, you will definitely do it! Moreover, I am also the prefect of Chengdu Prefecture. If any of what I say is not fulfilled, any of you can go to the Yamen of Chengdu Prefecture! In addition, all the money and food Distribution, recruitment of civilians, etc., I will let my trusted people personally take charge of it!"
"Okay, we have also heard of the name of the Imperial Envoy. We believe it!"
"Besides these two points, we have no other conditions! The grassroots people will go back and tell all the villagers later, and then persuade the villagers to go down the mountain and return home!"
Listening to the conversation between Shen Tang and Gao Erhe, Fan Anhe suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
If these damn rioters didn't mention that matter, then there would be no need to do those dangerous things.
"Sir, you said you should make decisions for the people. In that case, I would like to ask you, the common people, to make decisions for us and other villagers! Please make decisions for the more than 1,300 people who died in Liujia Village, Dongying Village, Zhaojiagouzi... who were driven to death by officials!"
"Gudong!"
Senior High School student He screamed and knelt down on the ground, kowtowing. Hundreds of refugees behind him also knelt down and shouted, "Official officials are forcing us to do this. There are many murders. The ordinary people have great grievances. Please make the decision, the Imperial Envoy!"
"Please make the decision, your Majesty the Imperial Envoy!"
I don't know when, dense crowds of refugees have appeared at the foot of the mountain, only a hundred steps away from Shen Tang and his party! At this moment, Gao Erhe and others suddenly knelt down and shouted, and many refugees and civilians came forward crying, please Shen Tang. Let’s redress the grievances of the people!
In an instant, thousands of refugees and civilians rushed forward. Just as these people rushed forward, a voice suddenly shouted, "Don't believe what these dog officials say. They are all protecting each other, but they just want to trick us out." killed!"
"Have you forgotten how our fellow villagers died?
When we get out of the mountain and their army comes to kill us, we are no match at all!"
"Rush, rush up, capture this dog official and threaten the government. Only in this way can they let us survive!"
"Rush forward and catch the dog officer..."
"Come on, let's risk our lives for the sake of our wives, children, and children..."
Most people follow blindly, especially these refugees now, who are simply frightened! Their minds, which had just been a little quiet, were suddenly provoked by some people! And under the leadership of some people, some people were stunned and didn't know what to do. It was good, but some people subconsciously followed and rushed towards Shen Tang.
The scene has become chaotic!
"Protect the Imperial Envoy!"
At this moment, Fan Anhe was extremely calm. He shouted loudly and, as a civil servant, took the lead in rushing towards some refugees on the edge.
"Protect your lord!"
Gao Er Kazuya reacted and led hundreds of his own people directly in front of the refugees, "Are you going to rebel?
This is the Imperial Envoy, if we really hurt the Imperial Envoy, all of us will die!"
However, how can he convince the rebellious people who blindly follow them with just two words?
"My lord, please step back!"
Chang Shun pulled out the waist knife in his hand, and the guards opened a gap. Several people protected Shen Tang and retreated quickly! The other guards formed a group to protect Shen Tang, and their horses were Staying on the outside, forming a sword formation and preparing to fight the enemy!
When the Da'an Army in the rear saw this situation, Chen Xinbo shouted, "Quick, quick! Rush forward to rescue the Imperial Envoy..."
While they were talking, some of the refugees led by them had already rushed forward! Although the few hundred people in the second year of high school and the others were all light and strong, how much stronger could they be than these refugees?
In just the blink of an eye, they were picked up by the mob!
Until these rioters rushed in front of the sword formation, the next moment, a flickering white light was reflected in their eyes. In an instant, their sight was once again filled with blood!
Chang Shun and others formed a dense formation of five rows at the front and back. The first row slashed with their swords, and then retreated to accumulate strength! At this time, the people in the second row were already ready and stepped forward to slash again...
In an instant, hundreds of refugees rushed up and fell directly into a pool of blood!
However, although Chang Shun and others are brave, they are outnumbered! In addition, they are not iron men after all, and they will be injured. I am afraid that it will not be long before they are directly overwhelmed by the endless refugees.
Although Chen Xinbo has led the charge forward, facing these surging refugees, these ordinary officers and soldiers obviously may not be able to defeat them. Even if they are finally repelled, it is still unclear what Shen Tang and the others will do.
At this moment, the earth suddenly started to tremble! Many people were shocked and looked around, but they saw in a mouth not far away, a thousand-man cavalry suddenly rushed towards this direction. !
The armor leaves on these people are shining, the bows and arrows in their hands are pointed forward, and the long knives on their waists are terrifyingly cold!
"The Imperial Envoy's personal guard, Huang Wenshan, is coming with his troops! Anyone who refuses to retreat will die! Kill..."
