Shang Junlin lowered his head, took a sip with his gloomy hand, and slowly aftertaste, he said: "The tea this time seems to be different from the last time?"
"I learned a new technique in the book, how does it compare with the last time?" The palace has a rich collection of books, and Shang Junlin is not defensive against him. At first, he was depressed and cautious, and he would not pay attention to the line, and only read the insensitive ones. Later, his relationship with Shang Junlin became more and more intimate, and gradually he became less restrained, and anyone who was interested would read it.
"Ayu's tea, no matter what method is used, is equally delicious to me." Before Shen Yu entered the palace, Shang Junlin only knew about tea and was not keen on it. Later, Shen Yu cooked it occasionally Tea, tell him something about the tea ceremony, and he will be more fond of it.
Rather than saying that he likes to drink tea, it is better to say that he likes drinking tea with Shen Yu.
With Shen Yu's hand, Shang Junlin drank the whole cup of tea, then took the empty cup from Shen Yu's hand, and put it on the small table aside.
"How many people have they arrested now? Did you ask anything?" Shang Junlin still held Shen Yu's hand, and the two sat on the soft couch.
"According to what Ayu said, I asked them to pay more attention to the places where crowds gather, and if they find something wrong, they will check it and arrest it after confirming that it is correct."
Not only the capital city, but also the government in other places have received orders. The orders arrived at the place together with the Minbao, and they went through another special channel. The arrests were also carried out secretly. Those who spread rumors counted as one, and they all went to jail.
"The news of the interrogation has also come back. Most of the people caught are just obeying the orders from above, and they can't get much useful information. However, according to the clues I got from them, I know several hiding places of these people. I asked Yinlong Wei first go and check the details."
If they didn't act immediately when they knew about it, they were afraid of scaring the snake. These people have been dormant in Dahuan for many years, and now they are finally discovered.
Regarding these matters, Shen Yu always only made suggestions, and would not really intervene in what to do, not because he was worried about being jealous of Shang Junlin, but because he simply didn't want to.
"Your Majesty, you still remember the flowers sent by King An. I always feel that there is something wrong with the flowers, but people can't see anything when they look at them." King An sent a strange flower over for no apparent reason.
Shang Junlin also knew the existence of this flower, and Shen Yu had told him before, "Did the people from the Tai Hospital come to see it?"
Worried about the impact this flower would have on depression, the flower was placed alone in one place without anyone taking care of it. As a result, after a period of time, the flower not only did not wither due to lack of care, but bloomed more beautifully.
"Look, doctor Gu said that this kind of flower looks a bit like it appeared in ancient books, but there are some differences when you look closely. Other doctors have also seen it, and the servants in charge of taking care of flowers and plants in the palace have also seen it. Apart from being sure that it is non-toxic, I can't tell what kind it is."
Shen Yu felt very strange: "Your Majesty, what do you think King An sent such a flower for no reason?"
"If Ah Yu doesn't like it, just let someone throw it away." Shang Junlin caressed the hair hanging down his back, "What kind of flower Ah Yu wants, I will find it and send it to you."
"Let's put it there first. This flower always gives me a very strange feeling. King An shouldn't be so stupid to send the handle to the palace himself."
"I listen to Ah Yu, but Ah Yu should not get close to the flower, let someone take care of it. I will find someone who understands flowers and plants to take a look. After confirming that there is no problem with the flower, Ah Yu wants to see it before going to see it."
Shen Yu also planned that, and nodded in the man's arms.
Shang Junlin talked about another thing: "The first batch of supplies from the capital to Subei will probably arrive today."
"It's finally here. According to Mr. Fang's note, the officials he brought are almost at their limit." Shen Yu was also a person who witnessed the scene after the natural disaster in his previous life, and knows what kind of purgatory it is on earth. I can't stand it for a few days.
"Fang Jun wants to change those people back," Shang Junlin rubbed the hair in his hand, "especially there are two younger ones in it, and their condition is not very good. After I mentioned it to them, they didn't want to come back."
Among those two people, one was the one who wanted to give the boy food. The experience of just a few days almost changed his cognition in the past years.
Knowing that the imperial court had sent many people besides supplies, Fang Jun called the officials who had been with him for a while and asked, "Do any of you want to go back?"
"Why did your lord suddenly ask this? There are so many places in Subei that we haven't been to, how could we go back?" One person replied without thinking.
"Yeah, you have to start and finish things. Since we're here, we naturally have to finish things well before we leave."
In fact, at the beginning, some officials were very uncomfortable. They are the children of aristocratic families. They have never suffered such hardships since they were young. They did not know that the life of ordinary people would be so difficult. They did not deny that they had the idea of shrinking back. , but such thoughts are extinguished in one thing.
On the contrary, there was an unspeakable ambition in their hearts, and they swept away the confusion of being an official in the past, and strengthened their beliefs.
Didn't they just want to be good officials to benefit the people at the beginning? If they hadn't come out this trip, if they hadn't seen these purgatory-like scenes and shocking pictures, they might have spent their entire lives in confusion.
But it won't happen now. After experiencing this incident, they know what kind of burden they are shouldering. As an official, what they look at should not be rights, but the responsibility of the representatives behind them.
"The imperial court's assistance will arrive soon. If any of you want to rest, you can go back to the capital with them." Master Fang said looking at the official whose mental outlook had changed drastically.
There was silence.
want to go back
Of course I wanted to.
Compared with the capital, the environment here is really harsh and harsh. If Mr. Fang had asked this question a few days ago, some people might have been shaken.
But now, after all they've been through, I ask myself, are they willing to just go back
I haven't seen the legs of the old man next door get better, I haven't waited until the baby of the lady in the east is born, I haven't seen it...they still have too many unseen results, just go back like this, can you rest assured
"I won't leave. I won't leave until I'm sure that the disaster situation in Subei is relieved."
Once the first person speaks, there will be a second, a third... opening, without exception, the answers they give are all unwilling to leave.
Mr. Fang had expected this. He could see the changes of these people. It can also be said that he was the one who witnessed the changes of these people. There were a few descendants of aristocratic families who had been ignorant in the capital, and things happened at a speed visible to the naked eye. Huge change.
Mr. Fang is happy for them, but also a little distressed, because these changes also mean that they have experienced great pain in their hearts. When they first came, the children of the aristocratic family who could complain about doing a little work, now do not complain no matter how hard or tiring they are doing Now, they also faintly have calluses left by heavy work.
Mr. Fang glanced at the faces of these people one by one. The expressions on their faces were very firm, and their eyes showed that they refused to back down and moved forward. He slowly withdrew his gaze, and his voice was subconsciously soft: "Don't rush to answer, you have one night. Consider, I have already told His Majesty about your achievements, after returning to Beijing, these will not be affected by your early departure."
The next day, no one's answers changed.
They are all willing to stay here until the day they see with their own eyes that Subei gets better.
Master Fang didn't say anything more, but just wrote down the incident objectively on the notebook, which was passed back to the capital by Yinlongwei.
Shen Yu found the one sent from Subei from a large pile of memorials. Master Fang wrote two copies like every time before, one was sent back to the capital through Yinlongwei, and the other was sent back through official channels.
The latter tends to be a few days slower than the former.
Shen Yu opened the booklet and read it over and over again: "It seems that Mr. Fang has a good opinion of these officials who followed him."
Among the officials who went to the disaster relief, the poor families accounted for half, with Mr. Fang at the head. At first, there was a little friction between the two sides, but now, the two sides have been able to let go of their prejudices and cooperate harmoniously.
Compared with when they left the capital, both sides have changed a lot.
Those who went to Subei with Mr. Fang were mainly young officials. If there were no accidents, these people would be the mainstay of the court in the future. After experiencing such a situation, it would be of great benefit to both themselves and the court.
Because the news from the imperial court was that the people coming from the imperial court would directly connect with them, Master Fang and his people stayed in the small town where they were resting, waiting for their arrival.
Their supplies were almost exhausted, and they had to leave some of them wherever they went. Most of the supplies they brought were left in the main city. If there were no more supplies along the way, they would have to go back to the main city first.
The imperial court sent troops to escort the supplies, and the officials in the main city also got the news along the way.
"My lord, if you don't do anything, it will be too late when the people from the court come." In the dimly lit study room, the speaker was hidden in the shadows, his voice hoarse.
"You go and arrange it, make it clean, and don't let people find out that it's wrong."
"Don't worry, my lord, this kind of thing is easy to handle, and there will never be any mistakes."
The door of the study was opened and closed, and the wind blew the candlelight, as if nothing had happened.
Mr. Fang and his party traveled for many days, and finally had a short rest, so they took the officials who came with them to look around.
This small town is a little further north than the one they first visited, and the disaster situation is more serious, but they have been giving out soup for a few days, and the disaster relief work has started smoothly, and the situation is much better than when they first came.
Along the way, some victims put down their work and said hello to them.
Officials responded with a smile, occasionally stopping to chat with people on the side of the road.
"Suddenly, this kind of life is not bad." The official behind Mr. Fang sighed.
"Yeah, when I was in the capital, I thought I was so powerful and amazing, but I only realized how shallow I was when I came here."
Several people chatted in low voices.
The atmosphere was relaxed and lively, and the barrier between officials from poor families and officials from aristocratic families completely disappeared here. Master Fang listened to their discussions with a smile in his eyes.
Suddenly, the crowd in front of them surged, coming from their side.
The young man beside Master Fang grabbed him and protected him behind his back:
"My lord, be careful!"
