He really couldn't bear it!
Liu Hao did not like the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, but he still had compassion for the people of the Qing Dynasty.
No matter what, he had to help.
If they really wanted to please Qianlong and made the decision to drive all these refugees back to their original places of origin…
Then what was the difference between him and this group of beasts?
He could flatter or even say that Qianlong was a perfect old man, and that the Qing Dynasty must have gone from one golden age to another.
However, this was a matter of principle. This was not possible!
If they were really colluding with each other, then what was the difference between him and a beast?
He Shen couldn't help but frown. His gaze fell on Liu Hao,"Hao 'Er, what's wrong?”
Liu Hao didn't hide anything and just nodded.""Lord He, these refugees are suffering. If we send them all back, I won't be able to live in peace!”
"Hao 'Er, you're still too young!”He Shen raised his teacup and slowly took a sip of tea. He then slowly said,"They are all refugees, why should you care about the things of the lower nine sects? Besides…"
Speaking up to this point, He Shen said indifferently,""Let me tell you, in the officialdom, there are some things that you will make more mistakes if you do more. If you don't do it, you won't be wrong. The more you want to govern these refugees, the more trouble they will cause you.”
"Six years ago, I went to provide disaster relief. Do you know what these disaster victims did when they gathered together? They roared into the forest, killed officials, and rebelled. The imperial court spent a lot of effort to suppress them!”
He Shen narrowed his eyes and slowly said,"These refugees are just a disease of scabies. If necessary, even if we kill them all, Lord Wansui will only be happy and suppress the rebellion!”
Liu Hao felt his heart turn cold.
Although He Shen treated him well, lecturing him on questions, praising him in front of the Emperor, and even wanting to promote him, in reality, He Shen was still cruel and cold.
"Lord He!" Liu Hao inhaled a deep breath of air. After which, he slowly opened his mouth and said,"Please listen to my suggestions!”
He Shen's gaze slightly retracted before he slowly opened his mouth and said,"Tell me!"
"What I mean is to gather these refugees together!”Liu Hao thought for a moment and slowly said,"First, gather them all in the capital and manage them in one place so that they won't cause trouble. These disaster victims have no food to eat, and if they are scattered and have no one to manage them, who knows what they can do to invite them over!”
At this point, Liu Hao paused for a moment before continuing,""Even if we want to send them back to their original places, we will need to use a lot of officials. This way, it will be easy to cause trouble!”
He Shen fell silent. He had to admit that what Liu Hao said made sense.
This probability was extremely high. In fact, these refugees had already affected the security of the capital. If not for this, it would not have reached the ears of Wang Jie and then Qianlong.
If they were forcefully expelled, it would probably cause trouble in a short period of time.
He Shen took a deep breath and nodded,""But these refugees have gathered together. What are you going to do with them?”
"Reclaim the wasteland, of course!" Liu Hao took a deep breath and slowly said,"Don't worry, Lord He. I naturally have my own plans. First, move them to the capital, as far away as possible, and then organize them to reclaim the wasteland!”
"This has two main effects. First, no matter how Long Live Yue views this matter, it is better to gather the refugees together than to manage them individually.”
Liu Hao paused for a moment before continuing,""Even if you want to send them back to their hometown, you don't have to expend a large amount of manpower. If it succeeds, it will be a great merit. If it doesn't succeed, it will be convenient to drive them away!!”
He Shen slightly narrowed his eyes. After which, his gaze swept across Liu Hao's body and continued," Then do you think this matter can succeed?“
"Don't worry, Milord!" As he spoke, Liu Hao slowly opened his mouth and said,"I've been visiting the refugees for the past three days. What they want is nothing more than a bite of food and a job. Perhaps, they might even need to help you!“
He Shen took a deep breath, and his desire to chase these refugees away faded.
Just like what Liu Hao had said, if they succeeded, they would have achieved great merit. If they failed, they would have to chase them away. It would only reduce their great merit.
"Other than that!" Liu Hao paused for a moment before continuing,""The imperial court has allocated funds. The amount of money involved is definitely not a small amount. And Sir…"
At this point, Liu Hao paused for a moment before continuing,""Resettling the refugees is only one part of it!”
He Shen couldn't help but laugh,"Hao 'Er, you're right!"
Embezzlement of disaster relief funds!
To He Shen, this was already a common occurrence. It could even be said that it was a common occurrence in the entire Qing Dynasty.
Sometimes, even if there wasn't a disaster, he could lie about it.
A small disaster was said to be a major disaster, and the taxes exempted by the imperial court all fell into the private pockets of these corrupt officials.
"After the matter is done, this official will not miss your share!”
He Shen couldn't help but laugh, patting Liu Hao's shoulder,"You go ahead and do it first. This official will be behind you. If you need anything, this official will naturally help you with all his might!”
"Thank you, Lord He!"
Liu Hao smiled and continued,""In the early stages, we need some food and some bailiffs!”
He Shen nodded. Come up with a plan. If there's anything you need, just say it. But Hao 'er, you naturally understand some things!”
"I understand!" Liu Hao almost cursed He Shen's eighteen generations of ancestors until his own mother exploded.
He Shen laughed, but his mood was much more relaxed. He had thought that the tens of thousands of refugees gathered together would give him a lot of pressure, but he didn't expect them to be scattered.
Once again, He Shen understood.
Indeed, he did not need to care about their lives. He only needed to expel them from the capital. What did Qianlong want to see? It was nothing more than peace and prosperity. Then, he would give him peace and prosperity. Even if it was fake, he just needed to coax this old man.
As for what Liu Hao wanted to do, he would let him do it.
He could also gain a lot of benefits from it. If Liu Hao really succeeded, he would also have made a great contribution. If he failed, he would be expelled and the great contribution would become a small contribution.
