    In the middle of winter, the wind was freezing and there was a snowfall at night, which didn¡¯t stop until the next morning.

    ???????????????????????????????]???????????????]????????????????]????????????????]???????????????]????????????????]??????????????????]??????????????????????????? apart out out of sight, the white snow decorates the world, with jade branches and jade leaves, pink and jade bricks, all in one color. Under normal circumstances, it would be really beautiful.  But Huang Mingyuan looked at the snow and couldn't help but feel worried.  The Qinlong Earthquake has just passed, and the government's rescue capabilities in this era are already much poorer. This heavy snowfall will probably increase the difficulty of post-disaster rescue and reconstruction.

    Without caring about anything else, Huang Mingyuan called Buber and asked, "Buber, what is the price of food on the streets of Chang'an? Are there any large-scale beggars in Chang'an City?"

    Buber replied: "Thank you, Mr. Dalang, the rice market in Chang'an has risen to two hundred cents per pound, which is more than ten times higher than in previous years. Recently, scattered refugees have appeared in the west of the city. According to Jing Zhaoyin's news,  He said that there are still large-scale refugees flocking to Chang'an from the west, and now the opening hours of several city gates in Chang'an have been reduced, and the two most western gates, Jinguang and Kaiyuan, are simply not open."

    Huang Mingyuan thought, it was exactly what he thought.  The imperial court is internally unstable, and all its efforts are now spent on political struggles. The rescue for the Guanlong earthquake was not timely.  It's winter now, the rivers are frozen, and the supply of rice transported from the north of the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers is already in short supply. Coupled with this earthquake, if we don't handle it well, there will be trouble.

    "What about the situation of the imperial court's grain distribution?"

    "I heard that the imperial court distributed grain in Qizhou and Qinzhou respectively, but I don't know the specific situation. Seeing that the refugees all came to Chang'an in one group, I'm afraid the effect was not good. The old slave inquired that the imperial court distributed grain in Wugong and Yusi counties respectively.  Garrison troops are prepared to block the refugees in the area west of Wugong and prevent the refugees from entering Chang'an."

    I have to say that Yang Jian is indeed a bit of a miser. It is good to be frugal, but if you care too much about money and food and ignore the use of things, you will lose more than you gain. Especially now that the people are suffering from disasters, food is a life-saving thing, but it can also kill people.  Sharp weapon.

    Although the Qinlong earthquake is of great concern, the food reserves of Qiyang Palace, Renshou Palace, Yishou Palace and other palaces can also support the needs of refugees and stabilize food prices in Guanzhong.  But Yang Jian held on to the food and did not take action, fearing that the chaos would be even greater in the future.

    "Is there anyone in Chang'an providing disaster relief?"

    "Guanzhong is the base of the people of Laoliu Town, so some aristocratic families are also providing disaster relief sporadically, but the intensity is not large. After all, they have to take care of the court's face."

    Yes, Guanzhong is the foundation of the Guanlong family. As long as there is no chaos in Guanzhong, the rule of the Guanlong family will be as stable as Mount Tai.  Even these aristocratic families know that no matter how powerful they are, they cannot do without the common people at the bottom. However, Yang Jian and Yang Guang and his son do not know this. It is really ridiculous.

    Huang Mingyuan thought for a while, he was determined but he really couldn't be the first, and it was not a big deal to make others jealous. What he was most afraid of was what Yang Jian and his son would think. They thought he was trying to buy people's hearts and had ulterior motives, so that would be a big trouble.

    After Buber left, Huang Mingyuan called Uncle Lai, who was in charge of the family.

    "Uncle Lai, follow the standards of other families and provide disaster relief to the refugees in Zhuangzi outside the city. Otherwise, you can prepare another thousand stones of rice and send them to King Wei's mansion. Our family will provide relief to the victims in the name of King Wei.  "

    Uncle Lai was stunned and asked: "Dalangjun, why did you give our family's things to the King of Wei? This will only give the King of Wei a good reputation?"

    Huang Mingyuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, Uncle Lai, what's yours is yours, no one else can take it away. Besides, why do we need such a good reputation? Guanzhong is not Beidi."

    Huang Mingyuan speculated that this disaster gave many people ideas, otherwise there would not have been these sporadic disaster relief efforts.  These people seem to be providing disaster relief, but they may not be without the intention of adding fuel to the flames. Whether it is because of the previous Prince Rebellion or if it has a deeper meaning is unknown.

    Actually, as I said, the world is never stable. The main reason is that it has only been ten years since the world was unified, and the three hundred years of disputes have not ended yet.  Especially in the past hundred years, there have been more than ten dynasties in the north and the south. It seems that it is not difficult to be an emperor, so many people are pushing the world towards chaos, and then take advantage of the troubled waters.

    Huang Mingyuan's heart became even more confused.  I thought that the world was in chaos after the three conquests of Goryeo, and that it was Yang Guang's random actions that triggered the emergence of contradictions. Now it seems that these are just symptoms. People who are not as ambitious as Yang Guang will still have ambitions.  If many people are planning now, does that mean this turmoil is unstoppable?

    Huang Mingyuan thought for a long time, but in the end there was no good way. He could only use soldiers to block the water and cover it with soil.  After that, I have to go to Prince Wei's Mansion to discuss disaster relief with Yang Zhao. After all, just save one of the victims if you can.

    Huang Mingyuan kept this matter in his heart, and he felt that he would have to take care of himself in the future.Check the trends of these major families. After all, centuries-old families have illegal strength and lack of security will one day become the source of turmoil.

    It was dark today, so Huang Mingyuan asked Uncle Lai to send someone to send his greeting card to the Cui family. The other party actually accepted the greeting card and said nothing more.

    After breakfast, Huang Mingyuan took Huang Mingxiang to Cui Zhongfang's mansion according to yesterday's plan.  In fact, the two families had little intersection in the past, and Huang Mingyuan really didn't know where Cui Zhongfang lived.

    Fortunately, Uncle Lai inquired clearly and prepared a generous gift for Huang Mingyuan, and then the two brothers set off.

    To be honest, Huang Mingyuan really doesn¡¯t want to go.  What can they do? The two sides have different paths and do not seek each other. Even the blood relationship that is the only link between the two sides is slightly better than nothing. The two sides are more likely to become enemies than friends.

    As for relationships, I have a rough relationship with this old ghost Cui Zhongfang.

    This time Huang Mingyuan took Huang Mingxiang with him, which was a great honor to the Cui family.  So when Huang Mingyuan asked to see him in the name of his junior grandson, the other disciple was also stunned, grandson?  I never heard that the famous "Yellow Killer" is the grandson of our Cui family.

    Fortunately, the Cui family still knew Huang Mingyuan¡¯s identity and did not really treat the two of them as grandsons.  For the Cui family, Huang Mingyuan's purpose of coming is unclear, and it is impossible to determine whether he is a friend or an enemy, so it is best to treat him with caution.  As for Huang Mingyuan's grandson's identity, who takes it seriously and who is a fool.

    Those who came out to greet Huang Mingyuan were Cui Zhongfang's son Cui Minshou and Cui Jizhong's son Cui Minqian. The Cui brothers were also grandfathers, so they wanted to save face and did not come out.

    Seeing that the legitimate sons of both families came out to greet him, Huang Mingyuan looked a little better, and the Cui family was finally not too confused.

    Due to the suppression of the Guandong family by the Guanlong family, the official position of the entire Cui family is generally not high, although the Cui family has served the Yuwen family since the Western Wei Dynasty.  Moreover, the relationship between the Cui family and the Yuwen family is much stronger than the relationship with the Yang family. If Cui You hadn't been so naughty, the Cui family would have definitely been a royalist party and would have been liquidated when the Northern Zhou Dynasty was about to perish.

    Therefore, the current status of the Cui family is far inferior to that of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Cui Minshou was the school secretary of the ninth rank, and Cui Minqian was the censor of the seventh rank. They were both low-level civil servants.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
