How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 679: The Urge to Tear These Parasites Apart

Chapter 679: Chapter 679: The Urge to Tear These Parasites Apart

The educational materials selected are mostly modern, but she has made these knowledge modern, while removing some knowledge that is too advanced or obscure.

At the same time, she added more common-sense knowledge.

Therefore, the knowledge these children learn is far more than what children in private schools learn.

Of course, the teachers also need proper training; they must learn first before they can teach other children.

Not only should teachers be trained in knowledge, but also in educational awareness. They must learn educational psychology, and implement tailored teaching methodologies.

It’s such hard work, their pay must be the highest, and they will be given high social status.

On the way back to Dayan, Tang Chong was entrusted to the nanny, while she started designing educational materials in her space.

If possible, she hopes that children entering private schools can also implement this set of materials.

Of course, she knows that steps can’t be taken too large; otherwise, it would backfire. Only when the children from the Great Tang Academy have learned and the whole country sees the results, can they try to promote it.

This is a long-term process that cannot be rushed.

They passed through the Gulan Military Camp, and then through Jingzhou.

While writing educational materials, Pei Shu’er also took Tang Chong out for a walk to see the surroundings.

Jingzhou has changed now; it’s no longer the scene of corpses scattered everywhere.

Everyone’s face is full of vitality, and they have opened up farmland and started planting.

Now the outside scene is full of lush greenery.

The grain shipped back from Great Shang was distributed to Xuzhou and Jiangnan.

In both places, although refugees still exist, they are no longer starving, and they’ve even been allocated farmland and have started planting.

In fact, some of the refugees have returned to their original places, and after finishing their grain, they go to the nearest relief point to collect grain.

It’s not that no one hoards relief grain, but every time a unified check is carried out by everyone.

At this time, the data of each relief station is shared and updated regularly, so these people can’t exploit many loopholes.

Not all businesses have the magnanimity of Pei’s to open relief points.

Some noble-hearted businessmen choose to distribute porridge at the city gates, striving to help this tragedy pass quickly.

But as time goes on, with no new grain, there are fewer people distributing porridge.

Linzhou City has become the least worried place, even the city’s residents have developed their planting skills to the fullest, including planting on rooftops.

The crops planted together have matured and are distributed by the government uniformly.

They handed over the grain brought back to the grain-shortage State Mansion to arrange people to distribute it.

The Jiangnan Region is larger and richer, but there are more refugees, receiving two-thirds of the grain.

Xuzhou gets one-third.

Meanwhile, she also took the same share from her space for the relief points.

But this time, Pei Shu’er noticed something peculiar about the people lining up in Xuzhou City to collect relief grain from the government.

For example, while two thousand people could collect at the relief point, only four hundred could at the Xuzhou Government.

The remaining people were all driven away.

This is not just a matter of discrepancy; it’s only one-fifth now.

Pei Shu’er frowned, knowing there are unwritten rules in the ancient bureaucracy, and after restructuring, the grain reaching the common people might be very little.

But she didn’t expect so much to be withheld.

No wonder the dramas always mentioned disaster relief, but it seemed nothing changed.

It turns out the real bureaucracy is terrifying to this extent?

It’s because she is now in disguise and has been low-key along the way, so the Prefect of Xuzhou probably doesn’t know she is here, otherwise, he might have been more restrained.

Then she went to the counties under Xuzhou’s jurisdiction and found that these six counties had no signs of distributing any grain.

But clearly, the grain distributed to these counties totaled three million tons.

Which means, after layer upon layer of withholding, no grain reaches the common people; it all gets taken by corrupt officials.

Pei Shu’er took a deep breath, feeling like tearing these people apart.

The merchants were also unhappy; truth be told, within those three million tons, there was actually grain donated by them.

The people who needed help weren’t helped, instead, all went into the hands of these corrupt officials.

Pei Shu’er said, "So what about this grain? If stored too long, it will be of no use."

Bai Jiu from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s White Character Department stepped forward.

"Empress, we are aware of several black market locations; it’s now forbidden to let grain prices soar, therefore these grains flow into the black market and are sold at prices higher than market value."

The merchants’ faces turned iron-blue with anger, but they knew that officials acted this way.

They suffer a lot of oppression.

Even the money they earn with great effort must be given to these Lords as tribute.

Otherwise, they would find an excuse to deal with them someday.

They dared not speak out due to anger.

Especially with Pei Shu’er present; even after sharing life and death and being together for so long, they dared not speak.

Although these are issues left by the previous dynasty, it is now governed by Tang Zan, and Pei Shu’er is the Empress.

If they complain, would it imply blame on the Emperor and Empress for not governing strictly enough?

Now Pei Shu’er has treated everyone well and taken care along the way, but complaining, who knows if it would touch her bottom line?

Everyone’s feelings are very complicated.

Pei Shu’er observed everyone’s expressions but had no intention of explaining.

They first went to the black market where law enforcement was carried out by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

The black markets selling grain were all rounded up, some were small vendors, some were farmers, lacking money, so they came to sell grain.

But this channel must be cut off, otherwise, it will become increasingly rampant later.

As for these people, Pei Shu’er established a new regulation at the relief point that anyone with a sick family member, urgently needing medicine without money, could register at the relief point.

Doctors cooperating with the relief point would visit them.

Their treatment and medical expenses would be covered by Pei’s.

At this point, people had no intention of continuing to buy or sell grain.

For those needing clothes, not urgently, buying or selling grain wasn’t allowed; if they wanted to, they could only sell wild vegetables and game.

The black market is now peaceful; even if the corrupt officials embezzled the grain, it has no place for use.

And when they knew law enforcement was by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, they were somewhat scared.

The grain that should be distributed was delivered, and the embezzled portions were minimal.
