Jiangmen Tianjiao: Reborn with funny ancestors

Lu Dingfeng saw it and asked strangely: "It's such a hot day and you're still wearing such a thick official uniform. Why do you feel cold?"

Xu Xiuyuan suppressed the sudden chill in his heart.

He looked at a family of victims huddled beside a simple thatched house.

It was a family of eight. The two brothers fled from Guanzhong to Tianshui with their old mother, wife and children.

The family was placed in this small thatched house, which was crowded and hot. The two brothers and the child slept under the eaves.

The brothers recognized Xu Xiuyuan's official uniform and kowtowed to him.

Xu Xiuyuan turned sideways to avoid it.

He felt that he had just arrived in Tianshui and had not been able to help him in any way. He could not bear to pay his respects.

Lu Dingfeng seemed to already know the two brothers, and shouted to them:

"Zhao Da, Zhao Er, please remember to rest for a while and then go out for inspection and don't allow the victims to urinate anywhere.

If you find one, report it to the official and deprive him of a meal. Do you hear that? "

Zhao Da and Zhao Er seemed to be very afraid of Lu Dingfeng. They stood up like their buttocks were on fire and shouted: "Mada, don't worry, Miss Sangpai, I'll go off patrol with Krima."

Lu Dingfeng turned around and explained the importance of epidemic prevention to Xu Xiuyuan. Xu Xiuyuan listened carefully and asked Lu Dingfeng for advice from time to time.

The two of them walked to the porridge shed, and in a while it would be time to give out porridge.

There is no soup kitchen in the morning at the resettlement site, only two meals at noon and at night.

Xu Xiuyuan stirred the large pot a few times with a big spoon and found that the porridge was clear enough to shine.

The young boy's face changed color and he asked the yamen guarding the porridge shop: "How can we satisfy people with such porridge?"

The officer looked at Lu Dingfeng.

Lu Dingfeng said: "This is porridge for disaster relief. As long as people don't starve to death, it's impossible to be full."

Xu Xiuyuan's eyes fell on the faces of the victims in the distance with sallow faces and thin muscles, and he clenched his fists.

When he heard from the yamen servant that such porridge could only be served twice a day, Xu Xiuyuan immediately wanted to order it to be given three times a day instead.

Lu Dingfeng pulled him aside.

Lu Dingfeng's identity at this time was Chu Tianjiao's second-class girl Sang Bao. He was entrusted by Chu Tianjiao to temporarily take charge of Tianshui County affairs.

After getting along with her for a day, Xu Xiuyuan knew that this girl had some abilities. Before he took office, she handled the county affairs of Tianshui in an orderly manner.

But Lu Dingfeng is a girl after all, and Xu Xiuyuan, a young man who has read many books about sages, is very embarrassed by such fussing.

He hurriedly brushed Lu Dingfeng's hand away and said angrily: "Miss Sangbian, if you have something to say, please speak it carefully and don't touch me."

Lu Dingfeng wiped his hands together and asked, "If I hadn't stopped you, would I have ordered an extra meal of relief porridge?"

Xu Xiuyuan nodded, not understanding why Lu Dingfeng was so anxious to stop him.

Thinking of the clear and shining porridge, Xu Xiuyuan realized that he had realized it, and thought to himself: "The pattern of women is still small, and it is normal to pick and search."

He bowed to Lu Dingfeng and said:

“Thank you very much, Miss Mulberry, for handling county affairs for me before I take office.

After all, Miss Sangba is Mr. Chu's maid, and she cannot be left without Mr. Chu.

On this day, the county affairs of Tianshui County were originally the responsibility of the lower officials, so they no longer bothered Miss Mulberry. "

Xu Xiuyuan said it politely, but Lu Dingfeng could tell that the young boy had a problem with him and wanted to drive him away and take over the disaster relief work himself.

Lu Dingfeng laughed angrily.

"Haha, does Xuzhi County think I am being harsh on the victims?"

Xu Xiuyuan bowed and stubbornly stood in a stalemate with Lu Dingfeng. The meaning was obvious. He just felt that Lu Dingfeng was harsh on the victims.

Lu Dingfeng randomly grabbed a victim and asked, "How do you think Tianshui County has treated you these days?"

The victim was an old man, stooped and said: "Thank you so much, Miss Mulberry, for taking us in. We begged all the way from Guanzhong and almost starved to death on the road.

I have eaten grass roots and tree bark. Fortunately, as soon as I arrived in Ganzhou, I met the mulberry girl giving porridge outside Tianshui City. "

Lu Dingfeng let go of the old man and said:

"I don't dare to take credit. The porridge you eat is the food that my eldest lady bought for you with her own money.

If you want to recite it well, just recite hers!

I have told you several times that the eldest daughter of my family is Lord Zhoumu of Ganzhou, Chu Tianjiao. "

The old man who was a victim of the disaster bowed to the sky and shouted, "Thank you so much, Mr. Chu, for your help in staying alive!"

Xu Xiuyuan had already stood up straight, looking coldly at the interaction between Lu Dingfeng and the old man who was a victim of the disaster.

After the old man walked away, he said in a cold voice: "For disaster relief, the imperial court will allocate food funds for disaster relief. Even if the food funds for disaster relief from the court have not arrived, there is still the county government's Changping Granary.

Why is there any need for Miss Mulberry to win people's hearts for Mr. Chu? "

Lu Dingfeng saw that Xu Xiuyuan was young and was an official for the first time, so he didn't argue with him.

"Xuzhi County, you have just arrived, but you should know that the imperial court has not allocated a penny of disaster relief funds to Ganzhou, nor has it allocated a pound of disaster relief grain to Ganzhou, right?"

Xu Xiuyuan retorted in shock: "But I went to the grain depot and found that the county government's grain depot was full, enough to support the victims three meals a day for two months.

After two months, the early rice will be harvested.

The disaster must have abated. "

Lu Dingfeng explained patiently:

“Tianshui County was troubled by the former magistrate Wu Shiyi, who had already resold the grain stored in the Changping warehouse in Tianshui County to grain merchants.

When I took over, the granary was filled with straw and stones.

Master Zhou Mu predicted that there might be a drought two months ago, started building water conservancy projects, and sent people to Shu to buy grain.

The grains you see in the county government were all bought from Shu by Master Zhou Mu with his own money.

It was allocated to Tianshui Granary half a month ago to accommodate the victims.

There are accounts to prove it.

All officials in Tianshui County can also testify. "

Xu Xiuyuan really didn't expect that Chu Tianjiao bought the warehouse full of food with his own money.

"This...Master Chu is really..."

Xu Xiuyuan just now suspected that Chu Tianjiao was using the court's money and food to win people's hearts.

After hearing this, I blushed a little.

Lu Dingfeng continued to instruct Xu Xiuyuan: "Just seeing that the granary in Tianshui County is full now, you would think that this food is enough to accommodate the victims.

But did you know that once the news spreads that these victims can eat in Ganzhou, a large number of victims from other places will immediately flock to Ganzhou.

Right now, there are only [-] disaster victims outside Tianshui City. A month later, there will not be [-], but [-], or even [-].

When the time comes, what will you use to feed the victims?

Don't underestimate people's desire to survive when they are hungry. If Master Zhou Mu cannot provide food to relieve the victims, think about what will happen if [-] hungry victims gather outside Tianshui City. "

"Civil uprising..."

When Xu Xiuyuan thought of that scene, his whole body went cold.

He almost ordered the distribution of relief porridge from twice a day to three times a day in front of the victims.

If Mr. Chu's hard-earned food is squandered by him, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Xu Xiuyuan was ashamed of his ignorance. He bowed deeply to Lu Dingfeng and apologized: "Miss Sangba, I am ignorant. Please stay a little longer and teach me the key points in this disaster relief matter."

I will do my best to cooperate with Mr. Chu’s disaster relief strategy. "

Lu Dingfeng then showed a satisfied smile and comforted Xu Xiuyuan and said: "You can teach me, I will stay in Tianshui for a few more days to help you straighten things out."

The two of them were talking when an official came to report:

"Miss Mulberry, it's not good. There are a large number of victims coming in front of us. They are so densely packed that our brothers can't even count them. There are at least 5000 of them!"

Xu Xiuyuan was startled and suddenly felt in a hurry.

Lu Dingfeng calmly asked some old men among the victims to be called over and ordered:

"Village chiefs and clan elders, please call all the people in your village over and let them eat first.

After eating for a quarter of an hour, follow the process I rehearsed for you and prepare to receive the next batch of victims. "
