Chapter 061 Soup Kitchen

Not long after I sat down, I saw a group of family members building a shed not far away, and the victims were very excited to run over when they saw it: "It's the Zhou family who came to give porridge." "The people of Luojia Village saw that those people were scrambling to consciously queue up, and they also ran up to queue. Each person is holding a large bowl.

Seeing that these newcomers to the city were not very clear about the situation, a relatively good person next to him deliberately said: "Thousands of refugees in the city eat and drink Lazar every day. This Luo family is the Yue family of the Taishou of the city, and it is a rich family in the city, and it is not an exaggeration to say that there are thousands of acres of fertile land and ten thousand taels of silver. A few days ago, he began to give porridge to refugees in the city, once a day. It was this bowl of porridge that killed thousands of people for a long time, but fortunately now that they have entered the city, if they are outside the city, they will not starve to death. As he spoke, he took out the large bowl in his arms and followed closely with the team in front of him.

Luo Jiazhuang was very fortunate when he heard it, and hurriedly took out the usual meals to line up. Luo Ran saw that everyone around him was a big bowl, and even those children were holding bowls as big as their heads. Luo Ran asked Zheng to change a bigger bowl to Luo Wensheng.

Following the slowly moving team, Luo Ran remembered that in modern times, there were many ancient soup kitchens seen on TV. According to the standard, the porridge of the soup kitchen requires the chopsticks not to fall, that is, the porridge is thick enough that the chopsticks do not fall. There are often two situations on TV, one is that the rich lady or the young master comes to give porridge in person, and you can get both kindness and beauty, and maybe you even meet a touching and vigorous love affair that you think is a confidant. There is also a kind of corrupt officials or wealthy people in the city who sell their fame and reputation, and mix sand and soil in the porridge to make up the number, or use moldy old rice for several years to make porridge. The stomach of the victims, who had been hungry for a long time, could not stand the toxin of the moldy rice, and many of them died. Whether it's the former or the latter, it's all the plot of the TV novel, Luo Ran now sincerely hopes that the Zhou family is really kind this week, and the rice used is not mixed with sand and is not moldy.

After queuing for a long time to get to the Luo family's side, the person who came to cook porridge was really not a beautiful lady or a handsome son, just a family member and a mother-in-law, not even a beautiful maid. For Luo Ran, Zhejiang's forehead is not important, after receiving the porridge, Luo Ran looked at it and breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, although it is very thin, but fortunately, the rice is not moldy.

Zheng Shi was relieved when he saw that his daughter got the porridge, and he was reluctant to drink it, so he said: "Ran'er, drink it quickly, my mother can't finish drinking it, so I'll give it to you." ”

"Mother, you drink. Mine is enough to drink. Luo Ran knew that the Zheng family had misunderstood, so he hurriedly persuaded the Zheng family to drink it quickly. Luo Youli saw that the children drank porridge, so he gave the remaining half of his bowl to Old Man Luo.

I haven't eaten properly for a month, except for the cold water I drank from the cakes I nibbled on in the first few days of departure. Suddenly, there was hot porridge, and my stomach screamed a few times, and I couldn't help but drink it.

…… Boundary......

In the prefect's yamen, the prefect Zhang Shouren just heard the people who accepted it say that the Zhou family of the Taishou Yue family was giving porridge in the city again, and he didn't know what to feel in his heart. Originally, there was a prefect in this city, and he was one level older than him. It's just that this is too rich and rich, and I usually don't care about it. This drought porridge has won a good reputation, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the city only knows the Taishou and does not know the prefect. However, if you make a fuss about it, there will be no way to resettle the thousands of refugees in the city. I had to endure it for the time being.

There are also 10,000 or 20,000 refugees outside the city, eyeing each other, in case of a riot, although there are thousands of soldiers guarding the city, it is not certain whether they can keep their official positions at that time. It's been more than ten days since the drought happened, so why didn't the imperial court send people over for relief? When there was a drought in front of the hospital, I still thought that I could hide it, but I didn't expect the situation to be so vicious, and even the rebels rebelled, knowing that they couldn't hide it anymore, so they asked the court to send someone to help the disaster.

Zhang Shouren was worried about this wandering around in the back office, and he couldn't think of a solution when he was annoyed and distressed. Suddenly, someone came to report that Qin had arrived. Hurriedly changed into official clothes, and Zhang Shouren led people to greet the Qincha who came from the capital for disaster relief. is ordering the hospitality of good wine and good food, and let people accompany him. After some concessions, they all sat down.

This time, the Qincha's surname is Lu Mingzixu, a descendant of the Lu family in the capital, who served as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in the imperial court, and has been from the fourth grade at a young age in his twenties, and it seems that he will have a lot to do in the future. Originally, the disaster relief personnel were not this way, after all, going to the local disaster relief was life-threatening, and the children of the favored descendants were generally not allowed to go. This Lu Zixu, who is already in his twenties, died suddenly two years ago, and the family is urging to remarry and marry.

Zhang Shouren didn't know what kind of temperament this Qin Cha from the capital was, and he didn't call a beauty to accompany him during the reception, so he had to secretly investigate. After pushing the cup and making a cup, after getting off the wine table, Zhang Shouren was anxious about the disaster relief, but he didn't dare to say it, so he sent someone to clean up the main courtyard and let Qin Cha rest first.

Lu Zixu was silent just now, just passively answering questions, just wanting to know more about the situation. However, although the prefect looked anxious, he never mentioned the disaster relief, and was a little annoyed in his heart, and said: "Lord Prefect, don't be polite, this time I came to be ordered to provide disaster relief, sent some subordinates to arrange accommodation for a few entourage, and asked my lord to tell the official about the disaster." ”

Zhang Shouren was happy when he saw that the young people of this big family took the initiative to mention the disaster relief: "My lord really thinks about the people. Fifteen of the 23 county towns under the jurisdiction of Fucheng have not had rained for several months, and their crops have died of drought. Suddenly faced with a catastrophe and a bandit riot, the people had to go to the capital city to seek refuge. However, there was not much grain in the granary of Fucheng, and he was afraid of a sudden war, so he did not dare to release grain. Now there are thousands of refugees in the city, and more than 10,000 refugees have gathered outside the city gates. Fearing a riot, they did not let anyone in. Adult ......"

Lu Zixu: "Hmph." This drought has been going on for two months, why did you report it to the imperial court half a month ago? ”

Zhang Shouren was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and said: "My lord, this official knows his mistake, the most important thing now is the resettlement of 20,000 refugees outside the city. "This prefect is also a smart man, knowing that it is useless to beg for mercy, so he has to show weakness and hand over the mess of disaster relief to Qincha, the disaster is healed, and everyone has merit; It's not good, first of all, although no one can escape at that time, there will always be a Chincha-sama in front of you at that time.
