Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 94

Wang Pingan was very puzzled, and asked a commoner, saying: "It's good, why is the door closed in broad daylight? I came in from outside the city this morning, and I can't get out when the door is closed!"

The commoner said: "It's not because of the floods. There are more and more victims outside the city, but the government refuses to release food. You say that the people affected by the disaster are pitiful enough, and they have nothing to eat or drink. Can you stop making trouble?" Well! As a result, when people outside made a fuss, the officials and lords got scared and even sealed the door. You say they have the energy to seal the door, so why don't you hurry up and release the food, and settle the matter earlier!"

Wang Ping'an frowned and said, "The food hasn't been released yet, why is it so procrastinating?"

Another commoner next to him said: "The government has always been procrastinating, but procrastination is nothing, but they are confused! He didn't release food, at most it was chaos outside the city, but now that the gate is closed, the city will also be chaotic, and the price of rice is rising. The higher it is, the people outside have nothing to eat, and the people inside have nothing to eat!"

Whether it is the victims outside the city or the local people of Xuzhou in the city, they are all dissatisfied with the government's actions, but they are dissatisfied. They have nothing to do except complain in private!
Wang Ping'an got out of the carriage and asked the coachman to stop the carriage aside. He squeezed into the crowd and wanted to go to the city to have a look.He lives outside the city, if he is sealed in the city and cannot go home, then his parents must die in a hurry!For example, in the past, it was fine to spend a night in the city, but now the surroundings are in chaos, and if he doesn't go home suddenly, Wang Youcai and Yang's may suddenly fall ill.

Strange to say, with so many people surrounding the door, the soldiers should have been very nervous to maintain, not to mention chasing people with weapons, but also screaming to make the people back.But what was surprising was that the soldiers were all listless, and they didn't care about anyone who shouted at them. Instead, they gathered in groups of three or four, whispering, and I don't know what they were talking about!
Wang Pingan passed by a small group of soldiers, and heard a small soldier say: "It's really hard to get through these days. The price of rice has risen three times a day, and now some rice shops don't sell rice at all. There are only a few rice shops left. The house is still for sale, my wife went to line up last night, I didn’t see her back when I went out this morning, and I don’t know if I can buy the rice back!”

Another little soldier said: "With our little food and salary, how can it be enough to eat? It's all because of those profiteers who hold their hands on the rice and don't sell it. They want to make money with no conscience, and their hearts are very vicious! I don't know what the adults are thinking. If you don't arrest the profiteers, if you continue like this, there will be big troubles sooner or later!"

Not only the common people scolded, but also the soldiers, all of whom were seriously dissatisfied with the government for not doing anything!My family's affairs are all in a hurry, who is in the mood to take care of things? The soldiers don't care if anyone goes to the city, but they are all worried about their own family's livelihood!
This kind of mood is understandable, Wang Ping'an did not express his opinion, and squeezed onto the city wall.Before he ran to the battlements and looked down, he heard someone arguing. Following the sound of the quarreling, he saw a group of officials in green robes not far away, surrounded by two people in light scarlet official uniforms. There was a lot of quarreling, one of them had a very loud voice!
This group of quarrelers were the officials left behind in Xuzhou. The ones in the middle were wearing light crimson official robes. One was Xuzhou Biejia Mi Yuanguo, the other was Xuzhou Sima Dai Shiqiang, and the others were their lower-level officials, Chang Qingfeng. is also among them.Chang Qingfeng was blushing and yelling loudly, but he didn't notice Wang Pingan who sneaked up.

Wang Pingan walked to the battlements and looked down, only to see tens of thousands of disaster victims gathered outside the city, some crying and some screaming, all begging the government to show kindness and quickly distribute the relief food.Not only these people in the city, but also many victims of disasters came from other places, and more and more people surrounded them!
He turned his head to look at the group of officials who were arguing again. It seemed that these officials were arguing whether it is better to close the door or open it quickly. According to the court law, unless there is a military disaster, the door cannot be closed during the day, so as not to cause trouble. People panic and cause unnecessary trouble!

Xuzhou Sima Dai Shiqiang, the one with the loudest voice in the crowd, shouted: "If all these refugees from outside come into the city, the whole city will be in chaos, so this door must not be opened again, at least before Lord Inspector returns. Can't open it again!"

In Xuzhou official circles, Dai Shiqiang is not convinced by the nickname Dai, and he refuses to accept what others say. With his loud voice, he insists on arguing about everything, no matter whether it is reasonable or not, so everyone hates him!

Although he has a high official position, some officials are not afraid of him, and shouted: "How can you say they are refugees, they didn't rob their homes, they just asked us to give them gruel!"

"You're talking about bandits, not refugees! There's a huge difference between one word and another word. As for the specific meanings of these two words, let me explain to you in detail..." Some officials shouted.

Chang Qingfeng shouted in a hoarse voice: "Now is the time, what's the use of saying these words? Either continue to seal the door, or open the door, quickly come up with a charter! Master Mi, you have the most official position here, you Make up your mind!"

Mi Yuanguo is a dry, skinny old man with a goatee on his chin. When Chang Qingfeng asked him for an idea, he immediately said: "Oh, oh, I have a headache! This idea is for everyone Take it, if you don't wait for Lord Inspector to come back, let him take it, but this official will never dare to take it!"

Dai Shiqiang was nicknamed Dai Bufu, and Mi Yuanguo also had a nickname, Mi Laoyun!Mi Yuanguo was an official in the former Sui Dynasty. He was the prefect of the county. In fact, he is the current official Biejia. In the Sui Dynasty, the state was called a county. The official name was different, but the duties were the same.For decades, the imperial court has changed, but Mi Yuanguo's official position has not changed.

Mi Yuanguo has no great ambitions, he is just going through the years, and when the time comes, he will go home and raise him.His trick of being an official is not to do anything. When encountering big and small things, he pretends to be dizzy and leaves things to others.Anyway, there is no credit, so he can't be promoted to an official, but there is no fault, and it is not easy to squeeze him out!

Just because he always pretends to be dizzy, people in Xuzhou official circles call him Mi Laoyun!

Among the many governors of the Tang Dynasty, Niu Zhenghong definitely belongs to the strong faction. He can decide everything with one word, and the military and political power can be grasped. But because he is too strong, he decides everything by himself, so the people under him don't think much about it Anyway, the governor will support the sky falling, and they won't be able to hit them.

Before leaving, Niu Zhenghong had already explained the matter, what to do in case of any situation.But the problem is that the decision is good, but the execution is difficult. When you meet someone like Mi Yuanguo, you don't care about anything.

All the officials were arguing, and there were so many people talking, but they still couldn't come up with an idea!

Wang Pingan frowned when he heard it not far away, because he was afraid that the city gate would be opened and the victims would rush in, so there was no need to be so noisy!Seeing that no one was paying attention, he sneaked behind the crowd and tugged on Chang Qingfeng's sleeve!
Chang Qingfeng was competing with Dai Shiqiang, but when he looked back, it was Wang Ping'an. He was taken aback and asked, "Hey, why is it you? How did you come up here?"

Wang Pingan said: "No one cares, I just came up!" Pulling Chang Qingfeng aside, he said something.Chang Qingfeng was taken aback when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed. He hurriedly squeezed into the crowd again, and said something in Mi Yuanguo's ear!

After hearing this, Mi Yuanguo was taken aback for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. His mind was "sober" immediately. Not to mention dizziness, he stroked his goatee and said, "Master Inspector said before leaving that if the victims cry for help, they will be released." Grain, we have to do things according to the adults' orders, so we still have to release the food."

Dai Shi forced his voice and said: "You are talking nonsense, the problem is that once the food is released, they will all run into the city, and the streets will be chaotic, what do you do!"

He and Mi Yuanguo are both officials of the fifth rank, Mi Yuanguo is from the fifth rank, and he is from the fifth rank.But he is not afraid of Mi Yuanguo, he is in his prime, he will be promoted sooner or later, but Mi Yuanguo has no hope, so he is not very polite to Mi Yuanguo!

Mi Yuanguo immediately brought out his official authority. The official rank one level crushes people to death. He is half a rank stronger than Dai Shi. He can't be crushed completely to death, but he can be crushed half to death!Staring at him, he said: "Isn't it just such a trivial matter? Is it impossible for me to teach you? Are your heads just for display?"

After the usual sad habit of training people, Mi Yuanguo said: "Set up the porridge shed outside the city and discharge it far away, isn't it enough? The victims just asked for food, and didn't say that they must enter They come to eat in the city, and the porridge shed is outside the city, so they don’t need to come in, so there’s nothing to worry about!”

All the officials present were stunned for a moment, and then they were all overjoyed. That's right, such a simple method, why didn't I think of it just now!
Mi Yuanguo said triumphantly: "I came up with this idea, you just follow orders!" Glancing at Chang Qingfeng, he said with a smile: "Master Chang is an upright official, so he can just do this matter , do it well, and when Lord Inspector comes back, I will definitely ask for credit for you!"

Chang Qingfeng hurriedly said: "Thanks to Master Mi's trust, I will definitely handle this matter properly!" Turning around, he gave Wang Pingan a thumbs-up.

Wang Pingan shrugged and smiled back!
