902 Set up a Tent to Cook Porridge
Gu Xiaowan nodded: "It is precisely because we have food here that the disaster victims come to us continuously. We cannot rush or bombard. Master Liu is a parental official, not just a parental official of the people in a city. When those refugees arrive in Ruixian County, Master Liu will also take care of them. If they really ignore them, the entire Ruixian County will be disaster victims, both from Ruixian and other counties. If large-scale mass incidents and hunger strikes occur. The death incident, if the matter reaches the emperor's ears, I'm afraid..."
Gu Xiaowan was a little melancholy. After she said that she was afraid, she stopped, looked at Liu Xian seriously, and did not continue.
She didn't say it, Liu Xian also knew what Gu Xiaowan would say next.
Nodding heavily: "What do you mean by girl Yi?"
"It is necessary to protect the people of our Ruixian County, and also to settle the disaster victims from other places." Gu Xiaowan said solemnly: "Only in this way can there be no trouble and no one will starve to death."
"But now, Ruixian County has also suffered such a big drought, and the victims are in chaos. I don't know how much the output of this potato is this year. We can't even protect our own people, so how can we protect the victims!" Master Fan Yiyi Listen, it would be best if both parties could protect it, but in this situation, let alone both parties, it is difficult to protect both parties!
"There is a severe drought in the south, and the imperial court will definitely have silver taels for disaster relief. What we need to do now is to stabilize the current situation and try our best to protect the victims. If there is no turmoil in Ruixian County, if the silver taels come down, we will succeed!" Gu Xiaowan was determined. said.
Ah Mo on the side heard Gu Xiaowan's words, her eyes lit up, she looked at Gu Xiaowan with excitement.
After listening to Liu Xian, he also asked excitedly, "What about now? What should we do?"
"Porridge, disaster relief!"
As long as the disaster victims have food to eat and are not hungry, everything will be fine after the disaster year is over and they go back.
Gu Xiaowan and Liu Xian discussed that there is still a lot of food in Ruixian County, but it cannot afford so many victims to eat every day.
"Is it possible that we can go outside to buy food and bring it over?" Master Fan asked.
"It's unlikely. There are disaster victims everywhere now. I'm afraid that we bought it and were intercepted by these disaster victims on the way." Gu Xiaowan shook her head.
"Master Liu, you need to do this. Only you can mobilize the wealthy people in Ruixian County and ask them to donate a little bit. Let's get through this time first! I am the master of Jinfulou and donate five hundred taels of silver."
Gu Xiaowan said solemnly.
Liu Xian saw that Gu Xiaowan was so concerned with the overall situation, seeing that she was still a child, but she had such feelings, and he thought highly of Gu Xiaowan even more.
"Miss Wan, on behalf of the people of Ruixian and the victims of disasters, I thank the girl for her kindness and kindness. I will go out and find those rich people to donate money and food. It's not too late, Master Fan, you can find someone quickly. Go to the east and west of the city to build a wrinkled shed." Master Fan agreed, and immediately went down to do it.
Liu Xian's prestige in Ruixian is still very good. In Ruixian's prestigious family, he has raised a lot of money and food, but there are still some people who are unwilling to donate for their own interests.
The people in the back saw that there were people in front who didn't donate, and those in the back didn't donate. After running for a few days, only a few thousand catties of grain and a few hundred taels of silver came.
The porridge sheds in the east and west of the city have also been set up.
Master Fan was very reliable, and even spent money to invite several sturdy women to cook porridge in the porridge shed, and a few sturdy men to divide the porridge, and the yamen in the yamen stood by and maintained the order of the scene.
Gu Xiaowan came to the east of the city and looked at the long queue of victims, Gu Xiaowan couldn't help but look at this Master Fan.
The victims were holding bowls in their hands, lined up in an orderly line, and stretched their necks to look inside the porridge shed.
Most of the people in line were old people and women. Some women were holding children in their hands. Everyone looked sad, wondering how long they had been hungry.
, Some people are afraid that they will not be able to drink porridge later in the line, and they all have their thoughts and want to jump in the queue. Some people even rush to the front of the porridge stall and want to grab it.
It's just that they are a group of extremely hungry victims, and now they are extremely hungry and have little energy.
Master Fan had anticipated such a situation before, and found a few tall and strong men to maintain order with the yamen. Seeing that there could be a few disaster victims in the team who didn't understand the rules, he immediately put them out. Those people slipped to the back, and said viciously: "Go in line, everyone has a share!"
Seeing that the person who maintained the order was ferocious, and when he heard that he had a share, everyone was overjoyed and hurried to the back to line up.
With the previous lessons, those who want to not line up will not dare. They were all lined up properly.
Master Fan was also watching in the porridge shed, and when he saw Gu Xiaowan coming over, he hurried forward.
"Miss Wan, we have counted the past two days. There are more than 500 disaster victims in Ruixian County. If the food raised by the adults is as it is today, I am afraid it will not last three days!" Master Fan wrinkled. said with a brow.
Gu Xiaowan also frowned, looking at the group of disaster victims who had left their homes and wanted to find a way to survive.
If the family can still live on, who will leave their hometown and be displaced abroad!
"I'll think of a way to pass the current stage first, so that these people can fill their stomachs!"
Gu Xiaowan said.
Back at the yamen, as soon as the front foot came in, the hind foot saw Liu Xian also come in with his head down.
annoyed
angry.
Looking at this, it should be in vain.
Sure enough, Liu Xian opened his mouth and said, "I went to a few restaurants today, but I couldn't give up even a grain or a copper plate!"
The several yamen who followed behind Liu Xian were also frowning.
"Sir, you've worked hard, let's go get a cup of tea first!" Gu Xiaowan saw Liu Xian's tired look, and hurriedly went in and poured him a cup of tea.
Seeing that Liu Xian looked better after drinking the tea, Gu Xiaowan asked, "Master Liu, what happened!"
