Chapter 522
She personally went to the gate of the city to give porridge, and ordered the expansion of the houses and city walls of the imperial capital to accommodate more victims. At the same time, letting the victims do it themselves was also considered as generating income for the refugees.

When Mr. Jin Yuan proposed this move, even if it won the unanimous praise of the people, the common people said that the female minister is a Bodhisattva who descended to earth, and is the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves the suffering. The prestige of Mr. Jin Yuan among the people has once again risen to an unimaginable height. .

Jin Yuanjun is very satisfied with this situation, but at the same time, she also understands very well that the corrupt officials in the current court are corrupt, and the queen mother and the young emperor are only interested in seizing power and enjoying themselves, so they have no time to deal with these refugees. There is not much money to expand.

However, she was just moving her mouth. It was such an easy thing, and she had won the favor of a large number of people.

On this day, Jin Yuanjun took his confidants to the city gate as usual to give porridge to the refugees who fled to the capital.

She was dressed in a very plain cloth, standing in the porridge shed, her attire was no different from that of the servants at the side, and she seemed very friendly. However, after several years of precipitation, she also had a little more calmness and majesty. Standing in the crowd of people, others can see her extraordinary at a glance.

"Give it to me! I want porridge! I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry..."

"Give me, give me..."

The refugees rushed up, but were blocked by the officers and soldiers, but the refugees still rushed up, and they couldn't stop them.

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, everyone has a share." The female officer who followed Jin Yuanjun raised her voice to maintain order, but it had little effect.

"Don't be crowded, everyone has a share, there is still a lot of porridge." Jun Jin scooped up a bowl of porridge and handed it to a ragged refugee.

Her voice was neither loud nor low, but it was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears in the noisy environment. Hearing her unhurried but majestic words, the refugees present were surprised Not daring to make a fuss in front of her, the people who were trying their best to squeeze inside now stood obediently in line.

They all know that this person is the lady minister of the court. This lady minister is amazing, and she is very kind. A porridge shed was set up at the gate of the city, and the lady minister personally came forward to give porridge to the victims, which was much better than those corrupt officials in the imperial court who had vegetarian meals in their corpses.

These people all fled thousands of miles to the capital because of the famine. However, because they had no foundation in the capital and could not settle down, they became refugees, full and hungry. At the most desperate moment, Jin Yuanjun's Appearing undoubtedly ushered in the dawn in the darkness.

These people have all been favored by Lord Jinyuan, so they are naturally in awe of Lord Jinyuan, so they dare not make mistakes in front of Lord Jinyuan at this time, and they all look at Lord Jinyuan with great reverence.

Porridge was being served in an orderly manner in the porridge shed. At this time, it was the turn of a little girl. Perhaps because she had fled, her face was sallow and skinny from hunger, and both sides of her face were sunken from hunger. She looked very haggard, and a pair of black grapes stood out more and more. With big bright eyes, he looks no more than seven or eight years old.

"Come on, this is your porridge." Jun Jin scooped up a bowl of porridge and handed it to the little girl.

Seeing the hot porridge in Jin Yuanjun's hands, the little girl's eyes lit up, her stomach growled twice, she took the porridge in Jin Yuanjun's hands shyly, and thanked in a low voice: "Thank you, my lord... My lord, it would be great if I could go to the capital to eat white rice porridge as soon as possible, so that my mother won't starve to death..."

The little girl was holding the porridge bowl in her hand, her eyes were sentimental.

Mr. Jin Yuan heard that the little girl's mother must have been on the way to escape from the famine, because she had no food and starved to death, her eyes showed sympathy, she patted the little girl's head lovingly, and said comfortingly : "I will let people open a porridge shed at the gate of the city every day, don't worry, if you are hungry, you can come here to get food, and you won't be hungry again in the future."

"My lord... If only all the officials in this world were like your lord... Your lord must be the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, who came here to help us!" The little girl looked up at Mr. Jin Yuan with admiration. Mr. Jin Yuan.

"I am not a Guanyin Bodhisattva. I just want everyone to have food to eat and a house to live in. In two days, I will ask the emperor to open the treasury and expand the capital. In this way, everyone can also If you find a job, you won't be without food. When the expansion of the capital is completed, everyone can settle down in the capital and settle down, which can be regarded as achieving multiple things with one stone." Jin Yuanjun raised his voice to everyone.

Her words brought comfort to the helpless people. People seemed to have finally found their backbone. Their life, which was originally gloomy, now finally found a way out because of Jin Yuanjun's few words.

The refugees knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Mr. Jin Yuan, and raised their voices: "My lord is really the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva! If there is no lord, how can these people be starved to death on the street long ago! My lord is really the reincarnation of Goddess of Mercy! , Your Excellency has God’s blessing, and there will be blessings!"

People knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Mr. Jin Yuan. Mr. Jin Yuan didn't feel much. If she wanted to say it, it would be pride and a sense of accomplishment. She knew that these people were the most ignorant and ignorant people like this. It's so confusing, so she just said a few words casually, and these people knelt down gratefully, without making her spend much effort.

Jin Yuanjun understands how important the people's wishes are, so she takes such great pains to manage her reputation so that her future plans can go smoothly.

In fact, the promise Jin Yuanjun made to the people is nothing but a fairy tale.

After all, the national treasury has long been in short supply, the queen mother only cares about seizing power, and the corrupt officials in the court have brought unhealthy tendencies to the court. Today's court is full of smog, which is even worse than when the first emperor was there No less.

Now the young emperor is still young, and the queen mother has no means, she is very short-sighted, cruel and heartless, she frequently beats and kills the people below, causing complaints from the people below.

The queen mother and the young emperor are very greedy for pleasure, and the national treasury has long been empty. The 100 million taels of silver allocated for disaster relief earlier was also exploited by the people below. Many refugees are in urgent need of assistance, which is simply a drop in the bucket.

It's just that the people who enjoy the suffering of the people above can't see it at all, and they will never lower their noble heads to look down on these ants who are struggling at the bottom of society.

Under such circumstances, Jin Yuanjun proposed to expand the capital, and the people above would agree that there would be ghosts.
