Chapter 449: Human Hearts Are Good and Evil
Chapter 449 Good and evil in people’s hearts
"It would be great if we could find family members for them in the future, but if we can't find them, we have to find a way out for these children."
Yu Lian was speechless for a moment. Although she knew the earthquake was serious, she never expected it to be so tragic, and her heart became unbearable. Every time she found a child who was alone, it meant that a family had been forcibly separated.
Just think about it, how many lucky children are there and how many are unlucky?
Yu Lian was a mother-in-law, so she was naturally more concerned about the situation of the children than others. She hurriedly asked: "I wonder if Zhuangzi can support them? I don't know how much money the court can allocate to those children."
Money? If you are short of money, I can provide some here. My fourth brother and I don’t have much expenses. I have saved all the money you gave me."
Emperor Kangxi didn't know what he thought of when he heard Yu Yuan's words. His heart suddenly softened a lot, and he also had a smile on his face: "You and your family all have the heart of a Bodhisattva."
This was said without any end. Yu Lian looked at Emperor Kangxi with wonder: "I just want to give some money, how can I afford a family with a Bodhisattva heart? If I am light and not pregnant with this little one, if I am not pregnant with this little one,
Of course we have to contribute, but now we can only contribute money."
Emperor Kangxi held her in his arms and gently rubbed Yu Yuan's shoulders with his palms: "I am saying that you, your mother, and your sister are all in the same place. Your whole family is a completely kind-hearted person."
"You don't know that the people's houses were badly damaged and almost no one was in good condition. Because the incident happened so suddenly, it was impossible for the court to cover everything. Even if the adults who stayed in the capital reacted quickly, they cleared out the land in the suburbs of the capital that day.
We set up tents to provide porridge, but most of the people still have no shelter."
"It was true that the chaos was severe in the first few days. Some people were fighting for a bite to eat or a corner to avoid the wind, and they were beaten to pieces and even killed. Among them were scum who didn't even care about filial piety, loyalty, integrity, propriety, justice and shame.
He used his physical strength to fight against the old, weak, women and children. Not only was it not enough for a few men to occupy the entire tent, they even dared to rob the good family and do evil things."
"The first few days were truly hell on earth. Prince Yu personally caught two bullies and beheaded them, which suppressed the evil thoughts in some people's hearts. Because of this, many houses did not even want to have porridge sheds.
Yes, I frankly don’t want to feed the unruly people with rice, but it’s even more difficult to rely on a few large pots improvised by the court.”
"There are two reasons for this. Many people who were not sincere have also left. Only your mother-in-law and other ladies who are familiar with her still persisted with others and kept asking people to send rice and grain. This is why
Well, I heard that some women and children had no place to hide and even opened several shops to take them in. Looking at the whole of Zhili, it would be hard to find another charity like this."
Maybe he felt that now that the imperial court was in charge, he didn't have to worry too much, but he didn't know whether it was because he was heartbroken or was broken, but he was not even willing to clean up his own collapsed house.
Seeing that it was already October, it was getting cold as hell. It was not a problem for the people to crowd into the tents, and it would be even more troublesome if people starved to death again.
"My mother-in-law has led us through many hard times, but hard times are not always hard. Our neighbors are all good people. Without the help of kind people, I am afraid that our brothers and sisters would not be able to survive.
It’s more accurate to say that you are kindhearted and want to repay your kindness.”
Yuqian was not surprised by this. Talking about Sai and Lishi, they were not the same as Yourong: "My mother-in-law is indeed a very soft-hearted person. Maybe it's because we have many brothers and sisters, and she is used to taking care of children, but she doesn't care about others.
The kids are just as kind.”
Emperor Kangxi started chatting and talked about other things with Yu Lian. It had been more than ten days since the Earth Dragon turned over. After that, most of the efforts to save people in the first few days were done by each family.
Snow, I don’t want to reach out to help anyone else.
"The situation has calmed down a bit in the past two days. Emperor Mama knew about your mother-in-law's good deeds and went to the house to reward her. Maybe you didn't know that you had just come down from the mountain, but there was actually someone in the capital who was jealous of this person who gossiped about your family. If anyone is here
Don't get angry with me for gossiping. I remember how good you are and how good the Wuya family is. When this matter is over, I will definitely give you a big reward. Let's see who dares to say sarcastic things."
For a moment, it seemed like the imperial court was raising a bunch of lazy people for nothing!
Emperor Kangxi saw all those fat and lazy men today, sleeping soundly in their arms with flower quilts donated by others in broad daylight. He really should despise them. They are not considered men at all. What a bunch of wimps!
But they don't break the law, so there's really nothing we can do against them.
These days, few people are literate, let alone read and understand. Most of them live peacefully and peacefully on weekdays, but when times become more difficult and difficult, more and more people reveal their selfish nature. Some people who seem to be honest and responsible are ordinary people.
Those who take the lead in committing evil will also follow suit.
"After your sister came home from the mountain and learned about this, she also opened her garden on the outskirts of Beijing and took in many injured women and children. Except for those scum, most of the people were grateful, and every government in the capital
After watching for a few days, I saw that the people your natal family took in did not push the envelope or cause any trouble, so they followed suit, which temporarily relieved the court's urgent needs."
For this reason, no one is willing to stand up first, and no one wants to suffer a loss. Whenever one or a few people take the lead, everyone in that area will be affected.
But there is one who takes the lead and is lazy in cooking. He is diligent in queuing up to eat porridge. When it comes to rebuilding houses, everyone is too lazy to weigh weights. If you don't do it, I won't do it either. Why should I suffer if you just lie down?
There are not many people who do evil, but the impact is extremely bad.
Emperor Kangxi kept sighing with emotion, thinking that if all the people in the world had this intention, he would not be so anxious.
Some were injured and powerless, and what was even worse was that not a single member of the family survived, and there was no one to clean up anything. If you look around, you will see ruins. If you only rely on the people sent by the court to come,
I don’t know how to clean it up until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.
This kind of laziness is a kind of evil. To say it is even more disgusting, there are those who take advantage of the chaos to rob, those who seek personal revenge and refuse to save themselves, and those who take advantage of difficulties to make a fortune.
The evil ghost in human skin has no conscience or bottom line.
Although there are many good people, some good people have suffered so much and have been so heartbroken by evil people that they no longer dare to be good people anymore.
Besides, the national treasury is not very rich due to the wars in the past few years. Last year, the rain was too heavy and many places were hit by floods. Although a lot of old food was stored, the disaster relief was not a day or two, so the food had to be budgeted carefully.
Emperor Kangxi was troubled, thinking about money and food, and he was so worried that there were two deep marks between his brows.
