Cui Yanze bowed again and said, "Your Majesty and the soldiers must have been exhausted after eating and sleeping all the way. The ministers have already prepared a palace for His Majesty in Xingyang City, set up a camp outside the city, and prepared wine and meat for the soldiers. Your Majesty and The soldiers can enjoy it as soon as they arrive!"

Zhao Junsheng said, "I heard that there are nearly 20 homeless victims in Xingyang alone. So many people are suffering from cold, starvation, and no shelter. How can I eat at ease? How can I sleep soundly?" It's still early in the day, and there is no rush to eat, I still want to go and see the affected people first, there is no need to say more about Cui Taishou, I have made up my mind, come and lead the way!"

Cui Yanze had no choice but to agree, "I obey the order!"

The army continued to set off on the road to the victims' camp. Cui Yanze, who was riding on a horse, looked at Zhao Junsheng on the left front. He wanted to arrange a confidant to go to the victims' camp to make arrangements. In case the emperor arrived at the victims' camp, he found it was a mess. Yes, wouldn't it appear that he is too incompetent as a prefect?

Thinking of this, Cui Yanze immediately waved to an official next to him, and whispered a few instructions, but unexpectedly, the official was stopped by Li Bao after only a few steps on horseback.

Cui Yanze was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look at Cui Yanze, and asked, "What does Prefect Cui want to send someone to do?"

Cui Yanze knew that Zhao Junsheng must have guessed his intentions, so he could only bite the bullet and answer truthfully, "I want to send someone to the camp for the victims to set it up first, so that those ignorant people will not bump into the holy car and it will be ugly! "

"Tricksters? Does Eunuch Cui know that these tricksters you are talking about are my parents. Without the support of all the people in the world, I can't be an emperor. If I can't be an emperor, there will be no Daqian Dynasty, and there will be no Daqian The Dynasty would not have you, Prefect Cui!"

Cui Yanze was terrified, "Your Majesty taught me the lesson, I know I was wrong! I have no other intentions, I made this arrangement out of consideration for Your Majesty's safety!"

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand, "I appreciate your kindness, but one of the most important things for my east tour is to understand the current situation and resettlement of the disaster victims in various places, so I want to see the most real thing, not what you want Let me see it!"

Cui Yanze was sweating profusely, "Yes, yes, I must not cheat!"

Zhao Junsheng asked, "How many victims are there now? Where do these victims come from? Now that the flood has receded and various places are being rebuilt, why are these victims staying here?"

"Back to Your Majesty, 6 or 12 people have already left, most of them have returned to their original places, and a few have gone to seek refuge with relatives and friends. There are still [-] people here, all of whom are from the counties around Xingyang. There are very few local victims, and they have been stranded here. The reason is that they are worried that they will not have food, clothing and shelter when they go back, and they are worried that they will starve to death on the way without food!"

Zhao Junsheng asked again, "How much food is available in the official warehouses in Xingyang City?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I have already moved all of them out for the victims to eat, and there is not a single grain left!"

"So... what about Ao Cang?"

"Ao Cang's food is gone!"

Zhao Junsheng's eyes and pupils shrank, "Ao Cang is a large-scale combat granary. Even if I stay in Chang'an, I know that Ao Cang's grain reserves can feed an army of [-] for two years. Now tell me that Ao Cang is empty. Where are the grains going? gone?"

Cui Yanze hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. Due to the poor management of the Ao Cang, the old grains are often moldy and rotten. Even the rats are not eaten. After this disaster happened, I ordered the Ao Cang to be opened to help the victims. Who would have thought that the Ao Cang would be opened after the opening?" It was found that [-]% of the grain stored in Ao Cang had rotted, and only [-]% was edible. After the news spread, the people were furious. In order to stabilize the victims, the minister had to order the head of the county barracks guarding Ao Cang to be beheaded. It has been four months since the disaster broke out in July, and the food reserve has been almost exhausted! Before His Majesty arrives, the ministers are so anxious that they can't sleep at night. If the victims continue to stay and there is not enough food supply, The minister is worried that something big will happen!"

Zhao Junsheng didn't make a sound, his face was very calm, but his murderous intentions gradually grew.

While the army was marching, Zhao Junsheng, who was riding on a horse, saw a large camp in the distance, stretching for more than ten miles, and countless people's heads were surging in the camp.

As the team got closer and closer to the victims' camp, the victims in the camp came out one after another.

Under the command of the general Bai Jinguang, the Shenwu army accompanying the army controlled several small hills around, and guarded the surrounding area with Shi and Ya as units.

An official who opened the way shouted, "His Majesty the Emperor is here——"

The scattered soldiers passed word by word, and the news of the emperor's arrival spread throughout the camp.

The victims knelt down one by one as if falling in waves of wheat.

There are too many victims, the ground is full of mud, the smell is everywhere, and household garbage can be seen everywhere.

Zhao Junsheng reined in his horse and stopped. He jumped off the horse and handed the horse to the guards beside him, shouting, "Everyone is flat!"

A eunuch shouted, "Your Majesty has a decree, come—"

The victims were a little unbelievable, the emperor actually told them to get up?They got up slowly with doubts and surprised faces, and the nearby victims could clearly see the emperor's face.

Zhao Junsheng stepped on the mud and walked in front of an old victim. The old victim was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a plop, trembling all over.

Zhao Junsheng reached out to help, but was stopped by the prefect Cui Yanze, "No, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, this person is just a lowly old farmer..."

Zhao Junsheng stretched out his hand to push Cui Yanze away, and said with a smile, "Cui Taishou is serious. These are my people. Old farmers are not lowly. As long as they work and support themselves through their own hands, they are not lowly. Only slaves are lowly! All dynasties and dynasties Since then, people in the world have been divided into four classes, namely scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen, and his status as an old farmer is higher than that of craftsmen and businessmen!"

Cui Yanze smiled awkwardly, took a step back and bowed his hands, "Your Majesty's words are true, I've been educated!"

Zhao Junsheng reached out to help the old farmer up. Seeing that the man's face was wrinkled like the old bark of a withered tree, and he was probably five or sixty years old, he asked, "Is the old man's birthday this year?"

The old farmer said sincerely and fearfully, "I don't dare to be called by His Majesty, Caomin is forty-eight this year!"

Not to mention how embarrassing Zhao Junsheng was, but this old man was only a few years older than him, and he looked like he could be his old father.

"Are you alone, or is the whole family here?"

The old man replied, "The little old man's family of five is here. The family suffered a disaster. All the food was washed away by the flood, all the livestock they raised were drowned, and the house was also washed down by the flood. They had to leave their homes!"

"How long have you been here?"

"It came here just after the disaster, it's been four months!"

Zhao Junsheng asked, "How much food does the government give you every day? How many meals? Are you full?"

"Your Majesty was joking. We are the victims of the disaster. How could the government feed the victims? We eat two meals a day, morning and evening, with a steamed bun and a bowl of gruel for each meal!"

Governor Cui Yanze and others were very embarrassed. They didn't expect that Zhao Junsheng would directly contact the victims and ask about the relief situation. They also didn't expect that this old guy dared to say anything. Now everything is out of their control. !

Zhao Junsheng's face froze, and he asked again, "The weather is turning cold now, did you wear warm clothes when you fled?"

The old farmer said sadly, "At that time, I was only thinking about running for my life. I didn't have time to think so much. By the time I thought about bringing some clothes, the house had already been washed away by the flood!"

Zhao Junsheng turned his head to look at the other victims around him. All of them looked disheveled, with ragged clothes and messy hair, and they looked like they hadn't washed in months.

Zhao Junsheng turned around and continued to walk forward. Soldiers had already stood guard in front, and a passage was separated. Zhao Junsheng chatted with the victims along the passage, asking them about their living conditions in the past few months and what the government had done.

Chapter 934 The Emperor's Guarantee

Zhao Junsheng walked for a while, talked with many victims of the disaster, and learned a lot about the situation. In this camp for the victims of the disaster, there are still so many victims of the disaster. The main reason is that the government did not act and did not actively deal with the aftermath of the disaster. However, the counties and counties guarding the district are still waiting for relief from the imperial court, and their calculations are quite loud.

After Zhao Junsheng finished talking with a young disaster victim again, he waved to Wang Tanzhi, and Wang Tanzhi stepped forward and clasped his fists: "What orders does Your Majesty have!"

Zhao Junsheng stopped and waved to the generals and officials behind him.

Seeing this, the general and officials retreated to a distance.

Only then did Zhao Junsheng ask: "I ask you, is there any surplus food in Xingyang?"

Wang Tanzhi replied: "Of course there is grain. In fact, the grain in Ao Cang is not moldy and rotten at all. It's just that some people guarded themselves and were afraid of being found out, so they falsely claimed that it was moldy and rotten due to poor management. When it was time to open a granary to release food for disaster relief, we couldn’t cover it up, so we put out one or two scapegoats, beheaded them to express the anger of the people, and used this method to embezzle more than [-]% of the grain in the Ao granary perfectly!"

A cold light flashed in Zhao Junsheng's eyes, "Who is it?"

Wang Tanzhi hesitated for a moment, "... I don't know who is the biggest mastermind in the imperial court, but in Xingyang County... Your Majesty has seen the roster, and the highest official is naturally Prefect Cui Yanze!"
