Chapter 1212

"If you go back to the emperor, Zen master Huixing in the temple has sent a letter. The empress lived very well in the temple. In addition, there have been letters in the Forbidden City saying that everything is well in the palace. Please rest assured. " Chen Biao replied truthfully according to the letter.

The emperor is very busy every day recently.

During the day, he was busy inspecting around and distributing money and articles for the relief of the imperial court.

At night, when I return to my temporary camp, I have to review all kinds of books.

And those trivial things were conveyed by him and Su Peisheng.

Originally, the emperor could live in a house arranged by local officials.

But the emperor did not like to live in their homes because of the officials' inaction.

I don't want to take so many people to stay in those inns.

Because in that case, those bodyguards and servants will have to spend a lot of money.

In order to save money, try to spend every cent on disaster relief.

Therefore, every time the emperor went to inspect, he would set up a temporary camp on the spot.

In summer, there are a lot of mosquitoes in the wild. No matter how to prevent it, the emperor's body is also bitten by mosquitoes and has a red rash.

But he didn't let the doctor show him, just do things.

But even if the emperor is too busy to take care of himself, as long as he is free, he will remember to ask him how the queen is.

No matter how busy I am, I will ask you one or two questions.

He also did not remember that the emperor was the Grand Master of Zhangjia and the great master of guanding, Puhui and Guangci, which was conferred by Emperor Kangxi.

The emperor's practice of Zen in the past few years also benefited from Professor Zhang Jia.

It can be said that Zhang Jia was the emperor's mentor.

So the emperor trusted him very much.

Even to his apprentice also very trust, rest assured.

After listening to Chen Biao's words, the fourth master nodded thoughtfully.

Then he took the reins leisurely with one hand, swung the reins with one hand, and rode towards today's destination.

The officials and bodyguards behind him also followed.

As well as the chariot loaded with relief materials also slowly followed, leaving a place of dust flying.

These days, the fourth master went to inspect the most serious disaster places.

Then, the money brought by the court was directly distributed to the victims, and trusted officials were asked to repair the canal as quickly as possible.

In this way, exploitation at all levels is eliminated.

All the money and goods for disaster relief were handed over to the people.

He also arranged a Bachelor of agriculture to stay in the local area to teach the people how to make the crops grow grain as soon as possible.

About half an hour later, the fourth Master arrived at a village.

At this time, the sun is like a fireball, burning in the sky, sending out burning heat.

Because he had been riding in the hot sun for a long time, his forehead exuded sweat as big as beans.

A dark blue robe, also soaked in sweat.

The village leader had been waiting at the entrance of the village.

He was waiting with the villagers in twos and threes.

Now when they saw the fourth master, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed like the living Bodhisattva: "little kowtow to the emperor."

It was long, dark and thin, with wrinkles like cracks in the ground.

I don't know if he is too nervous to see the fourth master, or he is hungry and has no strength. His legs are swinging, and the whole person looks weak.

His head was wrapped in a white towel.

He was dressed in patched rags.

But the clothes are very neat, it can be seen that they are carefully taken care of.

Maybe such a dress is the best in his family.

It's just that his hair is messy and looks like a mop that hasn't been washed for months.

Even the body also exudes a smell of no bath sweat.

Because of the drought, it is difficult to drink water, so washing becomes a luxury.

He didn't leave his old horse.

Li Chang was so helped by the fourth master, a pair of hands full of calluses, immediately grasped the fourth master's hand.

He looked up at the fourth master and said sadly, "emperor, I've been waiting for you. It's been six months. We haven't had a drop of rain since the beginning of the year. "

His hands were like dry branches, and his fingers couldn't reach straight.

His face was full of "bitter".

When speaking, full of wrinkles around the corner of the eye, but also exuded helpless tears.

The fourth master tightened his hand and didn't speak.

Zhang Tingyu, on one side, stepped forward and said, "don't worry. The emperor is here to solve your difficulties. But now time is tight, we have to rush to the next place later, so you'd better take us to Chuang Tzu to have a look. "

"Good, good." Li Chang wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and took the fourth master into the village.

The fourth master, with his bodyguards and officials, walked into Chuang Tzu.The scorching sunshine on his face was dazzling.

The earth is like a steamer, too hot to breathe.

In the fields of crops, the sun has long been baking a dry yellow earth.

There were deep cracks about the thumb.

Those cracks, like thirsty mouths, are opening their mouths in anticipation of rain.

New wooden memorial tablets can be seen everywhere, just like mass graves. It is estimated that these are the victims buried recently.

I don't know if the burial was careless. With the hot wind, the air smelled a burst of rotten smell from time to time, as if it was from the corpse.

At this moment, the cicadas and cicadas that should be called in summer were gone. Only some high arched tombs were seen, and mosquitoes and flies were flying.

And uya in twos and threes cried on the branches.

And the terrible sound of owls over the village.

Several dogs were skinny and hungry, lying on their backs at the door of the earth house with their tongues outstretched.

Moreover, the fourth master saw many hungry people digging wild vegetables all the way.

And adults who drink water for their children with wooden spoons.

I don't know where the water came from.

From a distance, you can see that the water in the wooden spoon is muddy and full of mud.

After a while, the fourth master saw a place where many people gathered.

There seems to be a wailing cry.

He raised his hand and pointed to the place. "Why are so many people gathered?"

As soon as the voice dropped, I saw that after a long pause, he replied with a sad and sad voice: "Alas, it used to be a temporary relief station in the village, but as time went on, there was no food left in the village, and... It turned out to be a temporary burial area. Otherwise, those children and women would have no strength to be hungry. If they were bereaved, they would not have the ability and strength to bury them We can only help the villagers together. "

Smell speech, 4 Ye long eyebrow micro Cu, "so far, your village probably died how many people."

"Our village used to be a village with a large population. There used to be more than 30000 people. At the beginning of the famine, although they were dead, they were not so bad. Now there is a drought, and there are only 22000 people left in the village." Speaking of this, Li Chang wiped his tears and said in a trembling voice: "pity my grandson and wife, who also left me a few days ago..."

there are more than 30000 people left, only 20000 people left, which is 30% of the dead population.

Hearing this, the fist in the cuff of the fourth master was tightly packed.
