MTL - I’m Against the World-Chapter 54 I am loyal to my emperor 5 help
Qin Yilan has been working on this job for almost three months, and she has been putting money into it.
The division of social class under this **** feudal system is particularly strict, and there are detailed regulations on what material and color to wear. What the **** is human rights? The bottom people don't deserve human rights.
It is not uncommon to die directly on the construction site after a corvée service.
Not to mention Qin Yilan who passed through modern society, even Xie Zhiyong couldn't bear it.
If you make a piece of money, you can do it well, get an errand to scrape a layer of our house, what do you think? Only you have a heart that is loyal to the king?"
Qin Yilan sighed: "Madam, you haven't seen how hard those servants are, they have to work in the mud when they are hungry and frozen, you see , and certainly will not bear it.”
The old lady curled her lips in dissatisfaction: "You have a heart of worrying about the country and the people, anyway, let's see if the emperor will lead you, the tomb of the first emperor is obviously Qin Tianjian chose the place, the location of the mausoleum was not selected when the underground palace came out of the water, what does it have to do with you? The emperor didn’t go to blame Qin Tianjian, but he yelled and killed you, hum!”
"You also contributed to the emperor's rise to the top, he ascended the throne, not to mention rewarding you, but to give you all the officials, you still think about his people and people, you Can he see this loyalty to the king? What do you think you want?"
"Madam, I feel sorry for the people who are not for the emperor." Qin Yilan sighed: "Those servants are the pillars of the family, strong laborers, if they die in service, Their small home will collapse, how will the women, children, and children of his family live?"
The old lady was silent, Qin Yilan sat beside her and held her hand: "A little money subsidy can save the lives of these servants, to save his life is to save A small family behind him is to keep his family and children, this is Shi Xiaoen's great virtue, madam, you have always been kind, can you watch them starve to death?"
The old lady couldn't bear it, so she gave Qin Yilan two hundred taels of silver.
At the current price level, one tael of silver can buy two stones of old rice, one stone of rice weighs about 150 catties, and two hundred taels of silver can buy 60,000 catties of rice, which is more than 800. Nayakuto has been eating for a while.
Qin Yilan was overjoyed, holding the old lady's hand and shaking it, thanking and thanking, the old lady stared at me: "It's not uncommon for you to thank me, people are officials to make money, you are an official Post money, if you continue to be this official, our family will be unable to open the pot. Tell me, you might as well resign this broken official early and go to the street to open a pen and ink shop to earn some money for yourself (the cost of funerals). ) is proper.”
The old lady paid a lot of money, and she caught Qin Yilan for a long time. She was short-handed. Qin Yilan didn't dare to say a word of superfluous words. Carry the money and go with him to the construction site of Jinshuihe.
There is a low shed made of bamboo mats and mud on the river bank, a group of laborers stand in waist-deep water to work, and there are also a group of laborers on the bank pushing wheelbarrows to transport out of the city Mu, seeing Qin Yilan coming, a few of the superintendents hurried up to greet Qin Yilan. "
Qin Yilan waved his hand: "Is there anyone lying down today? How about the ones lying down? Have you asked the doctor to grab the medicine?"
"Three more lie down this morning, and Dr. Yan, who is good at cold syndrome in He Chuntang, has been asked to check the pulse, and the medicine has been caught. Dr. Yan said that he must take at least three medicines. It works." The clerk accompanied Qin Yilan to the shed as he spoke.
A ragged mat was hung at the door of the low shed to keep out the wind, and a field of hay was spread inside, and there were several people wrapped in ragged quilts in the haystack.
Listening to the movement, a man with a long face tried his best to stick his head out to look. When he saw Qin Yilan, he immediately pushed his left and right companions trembling to get up and kneel on the haystack to kowtow to Qin Yilan.
These sick patients were either pale, or burned red, and all of them looked sick. It was Qin Yilan who waved his hand to avoid them, but they still insisted on kowtowing three times before returning Wrapped in the quilt and shrunk into the haystack.
The long-faced man was obviously less ill. He didn't lie down with his companions. After kowtowing, he got up and stood hunched over.
Qin Yilan sighed, sat down on the haystack, patted the hay next to him and motioned for him to sit down too: "Tongbao, don't hold back when you're sick, sit down and talk."
Tongbao got her words, and hurriedly sat down on the hay beside Qin Yilan with his waist down and trembling.
Qin Yilan asked in a warm voice, "Have you taken medicine today? How many times have you taken medicine? Have you eaten? How many meals have you eaten? What did you eat? Are you more relaxed?"
She asked, Tongbao didn't speak, tears fell first: "Old parents Tianen, Caomin feels much more relaxed after taking the medicine, and he can't die."
Serving corvée service is drudgery, lack of food, clothing, and shelter is the norm, not to mention asking a doctor to prescribe medicines. If you get sick while doing corvée labor, it is like waiting for death.
Take a look at the weeds under your feet?
The Ministry of Household said that they wanted to build the mausoleum for the grandfather of the late emperor, and they did not give money and food. They did heavy physical work every day and drank porridge that could see people's shadows. Who can stand this? ? Everyone turned blue.
Thanks for being kind-hearted, he took the money and asked the steamed bread shop to give them steamed buns every meal.
Relying on a meal of a steamed bun, he was able to survive until now, but it was getting colder and colder, soaking in the water and digging silt.
If you bring money with you when you go out, you can also ask the clerk to grab auxiliary medicine to eat. If you don't bring money or don't have enough money, you can only wait to die.
How many people will come out to do corvée with enough money to ask a doctor for medicine? Those with that family background have paid directly for the corvée, how could they be willing to suffer this hardship?
Go to the doctor and ask for medicine.
Tongbao thought he was doomed, but Mr. Xie paid for them to get a doctor and medicine, and came to visit every day.
Tongbao is twenty-six years old this year and has served seven times of corvée labor. He has grown up so much that he has never seen an official who would ask a servant to ask a doctor for medicine.
Xie Zhushi is kind-hearted and is a Bodhisattva who survived for her parents. Tongbao answered Qin Yilan's question with tears in her eyes.
After visiting the sick number, Qin Yilan went out of the shack and explained to the official: "It's too cold, starting from today, everyone who goes into the water will be dry for half a day, and I will go to the fire shop to order donkey meat for fire. Let them bring it over every day, and everyone who goes into the water will pay for a meat fire every day, you watch it, let them eat on the spot, don't make trouble for this fire."
The clerks nodded in agreement, and Qin Yilan started worrying again. If the 200 taels of silver were just for Chen rice, it would be enough for the more than 800 servants for a month. Asking a doctor to prescribe medicine and burning meat will not last for a few days.
You still have to hurry to get the money.
The Ministry of Household officials who directly contacted Qin Yilan refused to give her money, even if she could report the matter to Shangfeng, who came forward to discuss with the Ministry of Households, but the inland river dredging was She is the person in charge of Zhang Zong, and it is her responsibility if she doesn't get the money. First, Shangfeng's appearance proves her incompetence, and secondly, Wang Zhi will definitely use this handle to attack Gao Shigong.
Xinchen Group despises her, so she doesn't need to give this handle to Wang Zhi, so that he can stab Laochen Group with his backhand.
The King of Hell is so good at seeing little devils, Qin Yilan decided to go directly to Gao Shigong.
With her current grade, she could never see Gao Shigong, the official of the Ministry of Housing, in the yamen of the Ministry of Housing. Qin Yilan had no choice but to hand the post to Gao Shigong's house.
Xu Shi, Gao Shigong, still remembering her original face, accepted her invitation, and the two met in a small teahouse.
Anyway, there is a feeling of betraying the Lord together, but Gao Shigong didn't put on airs, and stretched out his hands to hold the teacup with a smile on his face: "Brother Xie Nian, don't Broken brother."
After the greeting, Qin Yilan didn't go around the corners, and directly told her intentions. Although there was a suspicion of making a petty complaint based on affection, Qin Yilan couldn't care so much anymore.
It's already winter, and it's getting colder every day. It is normal to freeze to death in a shack.
Gao Shigong listened to Xie Zhiyong's words, and sighed with his sleeves covering his face: "When Brother Xie Nian ruled the Yellow River, the old President Chen Ge dispatched the money for hundreds of thousands of people, and it never came out. Having made such a mistake, now it's just a small inland river dredging, thousands of eight hundred servants, and the household's money and food can't keep up, I'm not as good as Chen Ge, ashamed, ashamed!"
The money was given according to the routine of Chaoli. After the project was over, Qin Yilan did not use up the money.
Actually, according to the regulations of the imperial court, for each project, the money and grain budget given by the Ministry of Household is enough for the servants to eat and drink, but why does every corvée have to starve to death?
Only two or three out of ten are among the servants. In this case, it is difficult not to starve to death.
The money has not been spent, Qin Yilan will naturally not put it in his pocket.
She wanted to distribute the money to the servants, but she was afraid that they would be exploited by the little officials on the way back with the money, so she simply took the rest of the money to estimate the clothes shop to buy old ones Clothes and bedding were distributed to them.
These old clothes and bedding officials do not look down on, they can't say they are dirty, but it is a good thing for those servants who can't even wear shoes.
They are really poor, and the broken mats for building shacks are **** on their backs and taken home.
"Old parents are graceful." Tong Bao came to kowtow to Qin Yilan with a mat roll and old clothes and quilts on his back. Here comes the little note.
Xie Zhiyong's name was written on the note, Tongbao showed the small note to Qin Yilan: "Caomin asked Dr. Yan to write it, and when Caomin returns home, he will set up a longevity tablet for his old parents. ."
Qin Yilan…
The servants said goodbye to Qin Yilan and followed the officials of the Ministry of Housing. This errand was finished. Qin Yilan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she held back the breath before she could breathe. go back.
Tongbao, who had already left Beijing with the Ministry of Housing officials, found him and knelt down to him: "Please help the old parents!"
