The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 197 Relief for Work
British Duke Zhang Weixian has been busy thinking about how to deal with such a big disaster, but he has not had time to think about the cause and effect. Hearing what Wei Zhongxian said, he felt a little cold behind his back.

He thought about what his son-in-law would do. If there hadn't been a big bang, everything would have been fine, but there was such a natural disaster and things became so mysterious.

Wei Zhongxian bowed to Zhang Weixian and said, "Our family is grateful to Yingying Gong. If it weren't for your family's kind deeds, I don't know how many people in the capital died."

The Duke of England is a veteran of the three dynasties, and he is an evergreen tree in the officialdom. Of course, his political consciousness is unrivaled. Since Nine Thousand Years makes such a speech, he naturally accepts it.

Immediately hit the snake with the stick and said: "Nine thousand years old, you are being polite, it's a dog messing around and hitting the right. All this is because of the great blessings of the current sage!"

Everyone at the scene bowed in the direction of the Forbidden City and shouted, "My Emperor, the Holy Ming", thanking the great, glorious and correct Emperor Tianqi for choosing to have fun with the people today and save tens of thousands of people from distress.

Such a major event in the capital quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys, and all the merchants participating in the commodity fair outside Guangqumen knew about it. After three days of intense buying, they had no more goods and chose to leave.

The craftsmen brought by Huang Sheng led the young musketeers into action. After more than a month, the craftsmen wandered around Wang Gong's factory and became familiar with many skilled craftsmen.

When they were advised to go to Huangjiawan Island, many craftsmen who were not too bad were unwilling to leave their familiar environment and go far away. Now the Huang family extended a helping hand to all the ordinary people affected by the disaster.

All the members of the Huang family spread the word in the capital that the Yinggong Manor, where the fighting scene outside Guangqumen, provides accommodation for the homeless people. The beloved daughter of the Yinggong family, Miss Chu Er, has prepared a large amount of food, and now she is giving out porridge.

The talented man came to Yinggong Manor to find Zhang Zhiji's brothers and sisters who had just come here to comfort the old lady, and told them that they had a mission and that many refugees would come here for board and lodging soon.

Zhang Zhiji jumped up all of a sudden, and said: "My dear brother, why didn't you say earlier, my family has nothing prepared, how will we be able to prepare all this food in a short while?"

"It doesn't matter, Chu'er has already prepared it. Now there are more than a hundred pots and stoves outside that have started to cook porridge. Brother just needs to take Chu'er to the scene to take care of it."

"Ah? Brother, are you ready? You...?" Zhang Zhiji really didn't know how to express it.

Chu'er said: "Young master, I will definitely do my best to help you do good deeds. What about your mother in the inner courtyard, how about you go with my family to visit your mother?"

Huang Sheng's big plan is being implemented, now there is no time for mother-in-law to visit his mother-in-law who doesn't like him very much.

She politely declined and said: "Chu'er, today is too chaotic. The old lady should be in shock. It is inappropriate to visit at this time. When the capital settles down and the old lady returns to the residence, it would be reasonable for me to pay a special visit."

"Well, my son, I listen to you, so I'll go to the inner courtyard and tell my mother, and I'll give everyone porridge right away." Chu'er liked doing charity, so she moved away lightly.

The old lady already knew that something serious happened. She heard that her daughter was going to help the victims, so of course she agreed, and asked the steward of the inner courtyard to bring her family's food to the manor as soon as possible.

Knowing that the site of the trade fair was to be used to accommodate refugees, all businesses evacuated immediately, and they left a lot of clothes and quilts as donations.

It was getting late, and the ashes-faced residents from the vicinity of Wang Gong's factory came one after another. These people had all visited their former homes, but no one could find their own residences.

They saw many ruins along the way, and they were terrified. If they didn't come to buy things to participate in the fight today, they would be smashed to pieces by now.

Now most people’s families survive, but they have no money, no house, no property, no place to work, how will they live in the future?
It doesn't matter!With the Huang family here, everyone is guaranteed to have no worries about food and clothing!

The craftsmen of the Huang family found the craftsmen of the Wang Gong factory that they had taken a fancy to before and were ready to take away, but they didn’t like the Huang family’s refusal to go. I want to go to Huang's house.

Hundreds of craftsmen who came to the trade fair site, which became a temporary shelter, disappeared without a trace overnight. In the next few days, some people still came and went. No one knows how many excellent craftsmen died in the Wang Gong factory. I no longer know.

Many officials in the imperial court only knew that there were [-] to [-] homeless refugees in the capital who needed help, but no one answered how to help them.

The adults are all chattering in the courtroom, whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?Especially the members of the Donglin Party, who turned a blind eye to the victims who were waiting to be fed, all the quotations from the scriptures had the same meaning.

They are indeed better at party struggles than state affairs. When such a major event happened to the country, they did not help to save the suffering, but they worked together to make political enemies worse.

The eunuch is not a good bird, how could he be willing to be bullied? Of course, he retorted, but also expressed a meaning. The emperor is blessed with great blessings, and God is protecting Daming in the dark. Empty alley?

Wei Zhongxian was very grateful to the Duke of England and that great talent in his heart, and hated the Donglin Party for taking the opportunity to cause trouble. Seeing that no one took the initiative to help the aftermath, he could only go up to the emperor to appoint a minister to be responsible for the relief of the victims.

Tens of thousands of people need food and housing is not a trivial matter. Emperor Tianqi looked at the officials who were like fighting cocks just now, and the princes of Gungun immediately turned their heads away and shrank back.

The carpenter emperor was extremely depressed, and he really despised these civil servants who were full of moral articles and full of dirty stomachs. When he first came to the throne, he also fantasized about working hard to govern, but facing the officials who had a vegetarian meal in the court, he was so angry that he returned to the palace to work as a carpenter.

British public Zhang Weixian knew that his prospective son-in-law was doing good deeds with his son and daughter, so he decided to ask for some food first.Seeing that no one came out to play, he said:
"Your Majesty Qizuo, Quan Zi and Lord Huang Sheng have already given porridge to relieve the urgent needs of the victims at the place where the game is played outside Guangqu Gate. Now there are many selling sheds left by merchants participating in the trade fair to shelter from the wind and rain. It is now May. The weather is hot, so as long as the imperial court provides rice and grain for these two months, the common people will have nothing to worry about."

Emperor Tianqi said happily: "I am very pleased that Aiqing is willing to serve the country. This time, I was lucky enough to save many people from suffering, thanks to the Duke of England!"

Of course the emperor was happy to praise Zhang Weixian, he said modestly: "Your Majesty is a lucky person, and the old minister's family just coincides with the meeting."

Wei Zhongxian immediately said: "The factory minister thought that he would allocate five thousand shi of grain to relieve the victims first, and then discuss how to resettle them in the future. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

The court discussion was over, but the Ministry of Households readily allocated [-] shi of rice and grain to the British Duke, because the emperor entrusted Zhang Weixian with the task of helping the victims.

Three days later, Huang Sheng abducted all the craftsmen he liked before he came to visit the British government's mansion.

Miss Chu'er thought that the son came to see his mother at home, and rushed back happily, but Huang Sheng was looking for his father to discuss matters.

The British public is seasoned, and has already felt that this great talent is a bit confused, and has already decided in his heart to make him his son-in-law. Now that he has something to discuss, he will meet him in the study immediately.

Huang Sheng went straight to the topic and said, "Uncle, Wang Gong's factory was destroyed, and my nephew would like to ask my uncle to propose that the British government come forward to rebuild the house and provide relief with work?"

How did Zhang Weixian know that rebuilding the homes of the victims is a good thing for thousands of families to live in Buddhahood, but tens of thousands of houses need to be built, and it may cost several 10 taels of silver. How could the court be willing to spend so much money?
