"Isn't this on the Mingjun Square, three miles away from the government affairs district, where some people gathered to protest?"

Wang Chuanzhi explained: "They are really pitiful to eat and sleep in the open. So I'm going to buy some rice and noodles for them to give so they can stick to it. ”

"Are you going to help them?" the master was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Do you know what they gathered for?"

I heard that it was because the distribution of relief funds had been delayed for at least half a year, which aroused the anger of many retired soldiers, who gathered on the Ming Army Square and demonstrated against the officials of the government district.

Wang Chuanzhi closed his head and replied: "Of course I know. ”

"Then you still want to go?" asked the chief bookkeeper, "Don't forget, you are disabled now, if there is a case, what will your daughter do?"

"But we can't just let them go unnoticed. I've lived those years and know very well how important these donations are to them. Without these handouts, they really have nothing. That's why it's all the more important to support, isn't it?" Wang Chuanzhi replied.

"But you have to know that it's dangerous. It would be terrible if it provoked the hostility of the government district officials. If Prime Minister Xiao is here, where would it be delayed for so long?"

"Alas!"

Wang Chuanzhi's expression darkened, and he replied: "That's true. ”

In Chang'an, they also empathize with this change, the previous officials are no longer as enthusiastic as they were at the beginning, and when they do things, they often follow the rules, and when they treat the people, they have become much colder.

This feeling makes people like them, who have settled in Chang'an from the beginning, inexplicably bored.

It's not that they haven't considered leaving this place, but compared to Chang'an, other places are even worse, and the right to speak is basically monopolized by the scholars and officials, and it is impossible to even gather people to resist.

"But that's why we should help. Otherwise, if it drags on like this, then what's the matter?" Wang Chuanzhi said again.

The chief bookkeeper was even more worried, and continued to persuade: "But you must not forget that those retired soldiers have summoned the prime minister to be disgusted. If he really makes a move, how can you fight it alone? I think you'd better not go. Wouldn't it be okay to entrust someone else to send these ten pieces of money?"

"Delegate to someone else?"

Wang Chuanzhi shook his head and replied, "What if that person is greedy for this ten yuan of money?"

"This!" the chief bookkeeper looked slightly stunned, and had to give up persuasion.

How can they be sure that the person entrusted to them will really be willing to help, instead of pretending to be greedy for money?

"Don't persuade me, I have my own plans. ”

Wang Chuanzhi shook his head, then walked towards the Ming Army Square step by step with his cane.

The transportation in Chang'an is developed, and there are trams everywhere, but this makes it very convenient for Wang Chuanzhi to carry out his actions.

After getting off the carriage, Wang Chuanzhi came to the vicinity of the Ming Army Square, he raised his head to look, and saw that on this square, there were nearly a thousand people standing, these people were all wearing military uniforms, but the military uniforms looked much older, and the waist pole stood straight on the square. Their standing posture was quite standard enough to be an example for anyone, and a thousand people stood here to form the most standard phalanx, holding banners in their hands.

On the banner, there were words such as "Down with the Quartermaster Department, return my hard-earned money", "Protect retired soldiers, return relief funds" and so on.

Indeed, these were all retired soldiers, and because they had not received the relief, they gathered here to protest to the officials of the administrative district.

Elsewhere in the square, there are also many tourists playing, they are either sitting on the seats, or half-squatting on the ground, or lying directly on the ground, looking particularly leisurely, very different from the retired soldiers.

The two are far apart, forming a clear boundary.

In the sky, a round of scorching sun hangs high, and the scorching light is sprinkled on the earth, making these soldiers who have been tested unbearable, perhaps they have also had a strong body, and have experienced the grinding of war, but now they are already old, and there are still wounds left over from the war, and they can't bear the scorching heat of this hot weather at all, and a few people immediately fainted to the ground, and then they were rescued by the people waiting next to them and began treatment.

As for the others?

They still stood silently, waiting for a response from the government.

"Alas. I really don't know how long this will last. ”

Wang Chuanzhi sighed, led the steamed buns he had just bought in his hand, walked to the lounge set up next to him, handed the steamed buns in his hand to a young man, and said, "These are the steamed buns you just bought, you can share these with them to eat." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Wang. If it weren't for your support, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to hold on to where we are now. The young man bowed his head and thanked him.

These people are already poor, if they are not pushed to the limit, how can they be willing to risk this danger to come here and get some help, it is naturally the best. And Wang Chuanzhi often sends all kinds of things, and the two of them naturally come and go

"I said Zhu Cheng. Hasn't the government responded until now?" Wang Chuanzhi sighed.

If he hadn't given birth to a daughter like Wang Mu, he was afraid that he would not be much different from these people, so he understood the bitter weeping of these soldiers.

Zhu Cheng shook his head and replied with some disappointment: "No." ”

It has been more than ten days since this protest began, but in the past ten days, there has been no movement from the government, which makes them frightened, thinking that the government has really turned a deaf ear to them and does not intend to solve the matter.

"Didn't you?"

Wang Chuanzhi was annoyed, and asked again: "Then you didn't go to the Ministry of Defense to react? If it was Duan Feng, he should help solve this matter." ”

"We reacted, but Duan Feng couldn't help it. After all, the Ministry of Defense has no money, and it is all stuck by the Executive Yuan. In this case, what do you let us do?" Zhu Cheng replied.

"Is the problem so serious?" Hearing this, Wang Chuanzhi was also shocked, and thought to himself: "In the past, although the relief funds were sometimes delayed, they would definitely be allocated, why has there been no response until now?"

Thinking of this, Wang Chuanzhi was even more worried in his heart, and he didn't know why the current Huaxia Dynasty had become like this.
