People are giving porridge? "Everyone else is doing good deeds, but she doesn't do it in her general's mansion. Provoked people's eyes. That's not pretty.

Xia Tian also came to report after doing a good job. If he hadn't made it clear, he wouldn't have replied casually. Don't look at Wen Wan's face and don't care about anything, but it's definitely not a master who is easy to fool. Xia Tian has been on an errand for so many years, and the county lord is very satisfied, because he can draw inferences from one another, and he can take into account in all aspects, "There are Prince Hao's Mansion, Chun's Mansion, Annan Palace, the queen's maiden Guo family, the Crown Princess's maiden family, the Hai family, the Pingguo family, the Zhenguo family, the Weiwu Hou family, and the Su Mansion, and there are basically people with roots in the capital." It's just a matter of size. Among them, the porridge field of Prince Hao's Mansion is the largest. Xia Tian meant to see how Wen Wan chose. The gentle position is better than the prince, if it is according to the gentle status, it will be compared to the prince's mansion. If you compare it with the General's Mansion, then go to the soup according to the official position of the second grade.

Wen Wan never gave porridge during the Chinese New Year in the past, and not being in the capital is a reason why Wen Wan has a charity hall outside No, and no one dares to say that Wen Wan has no love. If anyone dares to say this, they will definitely be spit to death. This year, the main consideration is where the General's Mansion is.

Wen Wan pondered for a moment and asked, "How much food is there in the house?" ”。

Xia Tian, as the chief housekeeper, is naturally able to answer these questions at will, "In December last year, I received a year's worth of rice grain from the county lord and the general. Now there are 10,000 pieces of rice in the warehouse. 150 koku for polished rice and 350 koku for brown rice. "There are 80 people in the house, and in addition to Lu rice, the grain stored is normal. And Wen Wan has a habit of backing up everything. Say in conditional condition. Backups are a good way to be prepared. Xia Tian naturally has this habit.

Wen Wan was a little surprised: "What about potatoes and sweet potatoes?" "These two things should be big. Now in the Great Qi Dynasty, because of these species, there has never been a large number of people starving to death. Except for the war in the border city. Daqi is now considered a country and a country.

Xia Tian hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes, but not much." The rice warehouse is already stocked with grain, so it can't be stacked. All of them are stored on the Zhuangzi, and there are more than 200,000 catties stored on the son. ”

Wen Wan thought for a moment and said, "Since everyone does it." If we don't do it, we won't enlist. However, those methods of setting up a porridge field to give porridge will be forgotten. Where are so many beggars and homeless people in the capital, setting up so many porridge fields, it is nothing more than a benefit for those who love to take advantage. I remember hearing that there was only a soup kitchen. Some of the stingy people drove out their servants to ask for food. Don't have to cheap those people to go. You go buy some quilts and come back, buy one or two hundred. If you can't buy that much. I scooped out the cotton stored in the house, and then went to buy more cotton to make it myself, and then made some cotton jackets and pants. The quilt and jacket made the maids and women in the house busy for a few days, anyway, after the New Year, they were idle. When the farming is good, add some meat and vegetables, and give them to the poor people on the South Street, and the number is not large, and there will be one or two hundred. You need to find out who really needs help before you go to the delivery. I don't help lazy people. "In today's peaceful society, living at the bottom may be poor, but as long as you are not lazy to eat, in this era of basic peace (the border cities are still fighting), it is definitely possible to make a big deal by maintaining food and clothing without starvation. But those who are poor may not live very well→ life will be very difficult ♀, and some people need help.

Xia Tian exclaimed: "The county lord is merciful. Xia Tian couldn't help but admire from the bottom of his heart, the novel method really helped people. Those who have received something will also be sincerely grateful. South Street is a slum in the capital. Giving a new quilt and a new cotton jacket is more grateful than giving a lot of rice grain. Some clichés are heartwarming.

Wen Wan just thinks that soup soup is too old-fashioned, and there are so many households, soup, according to the soup kitchen, it should be done by the imperial court. Porridge is given every year, and there are no natural disasters**. Over the years, it is easy to breed those people's inertia. Wen Wan thought for a while and said, "After the snow melts, I will go to Zhuangzi to transport the grain and potatoes and sweet potatoes back." The house is so big, just vacate a lot of land. We don't have to worry about putting it in our mansion. If you don't have a place, you can put it in the General's Palace, where there is still a large empty piece! ”

Xia Tian hurriedly said yes. Also because of this gentle order, the man went outside to buy cotton, buy cloth, and make quilts and jackets at home.

There was a peculiarity at that time. That is, the cloth before the Chinese New Year is more expensive. After the Chinese New Year, cloth and cotton are relatively cheaper.

Fortunately, Xia Tian was by Wen Wan's side, his eyes and ears were stained, and he found people who were familiar with the market, and divided them into many batches to buy cotton cloth. So, when the cotton was going to rise the next day, the county lord's mansion didn't want it again.

Wen Wan is a different way of doing good deeds, but the people in the General's Mansion and the County Lord's Mansion are busy enough. The people in the county lord's mansion are all happy to do whatever they want. No half-word complaints.

&n

The people in the General's Mansion are complaining everywhere, ♀ and it is a cold day, so that everyone can do things without being tired. Because it is a task ordered by Wen Wan, you have to do it if you don't do it. However, there was a lot of resentment in the general's mansion. Thinking about it, there was nothing in the past, and now I have to rush to make clothes, and I don't know what to do with so many clothes all of a sudden, and the money is not so economical. Such a rich person still picks the door like this.

Wen Wan heard people report that the people in the general's mansion were complaining. Wen Wan didn't say much, making people list all the people who were angry and unwilling to do things and felt that they had suffered a big loss. After three days, Wen Wan got a thick list: "The general's mansion raises them, and they also raise enemies." I've always wanted to lay off people, and I took advantage of this opportunity to cut out all these people who were lazy and didn't know how to be gracious. "Wen Wan discovered early that the General's Mansion was a place to raise idlers. There was an idea before that to lay off people. It's just that she hasn't found a suitable opportunity ♀ to come to the door, and it's strange that she doesn't need it.

Xia Yao also felt that there were more than 100 people in the general's mansion, and there was not a single master in the mansion, and they spent five or six thousand taels of silver a year, but these people only scooped up money and did not do anything. She looked distressed. It's just that because she can't cut these people at will, for fear of giving Bai Shinian a bad reputation, Wen Wan has been patient.

Xia Yao said slightly. If it was his own business in the county lord's mansion, the county lord would definitely not worry so much. For the sake of the general, the county lord really retreated a lot.

The snow continued intermittently for five days before finally receding. The pomegranate trees in the gentle courtyard were bent by the heavy snow← and the people in the mansion were clearing the snow.

Wen Wan looked at the snow that began to melt, thinking about her husband who was far away at the border. I don't know if it's snowing so much over there. Wen Wan was in the season of being stunned, Xia Yao hugged Brother Rui and came out: "County Lord, Dabao can't find you, look around." If I can't see you again, I'm going to cry again. ”

Wen Wan took Brother Rui'er: "Baby, what's wrong?" ”

Rui Ge'er's face was facing the grain base. Wen Wan smiled: "Baobao, you have eaten it not long ago." Now my mother has no milk. Xia Yao, go and scoop the bottle over. ”

Brother Rui couldn't eat milk, and he looked aggrieved. Wen Wan put the pacifier in Brother Rui'er's mouth and coaxed: "Good baby, my mother's milk is not enough, and it is the same for drinking milk." ”

Wen Wan coaxed for a long time, but Brother Rui still didn't drink. Wen Wan had no choice, so she could only obey Brother Rui. My brother was eating milk, and although he was still not full, he was very satisfied.

Wen Wan couldn't help but pat Brother Rui'er's buttocks, "You little villain." Later, your brother will run out of milk to drink. I don't know how to cherish my brother at all. How will you be an older brother in the future? ”

Rui Ge'er Nunu mouthed, squinting his eyes. It seems to be asleep. Wen Wan looked at it and laughed very much: "This kid is not a loser!" ”

Xia Tian came over and said, "County Lord, two hundred quilts and two hundred sets of cotton jackets are ready." (Half is bought from outside, half is made in the mansion). I also asked for the list from Fu Yin, and I also sent someone to investigate. It's all poor people. ”

Wen Wan nodded: "Since you have checked, then you can send these things to No, and add a thousand dollars to each family." ”

Wen Wan spoke, and all of them were sent according to the list. You know, the coldest thing is not the snow, but the melting snow. Now these things are sent out, and they are really called charcoal in the snow.

In the county lord's mansion and the general's mansion, there is also a charity hall, and there are several people who go out to deliver these things. Gentle meaning, be sure to deliver it within one day. The things that were sent, Wen Wan did not use the name of the county lord's mansion, nor did she use the name of the general's mansion. It is still sent in the name of the Royal Charity Hall.

Wen Wan also began to think about the name of the general's mansion. But then I thought about it in what name, and the noble family also knew the inside story. But it's different for the common people. In the name of the Royal Charity Hall, the people are grateful to the royal family. The General's Mansion does not need the gratitude of the common people.

Two hundred households, a quilt, a cotton jacket and cotton pants, 60 catties of white rice, 10 catties of pork, and another 1,000 yuan.

These are a lot of things for ordinary people. Not to mention those who live in poverty and rarely eat meat once a year, it's like pie in the sky. I heard that it was sent by the Royal Charity Hall. There are no ordinary people in the capital who don't know about the Royal Charity Hall. It was founded by the royal family (in the eyes of the common people, the gentle county lord also represents the royal family) to help ordinary people. The people who had benefited all bowed down in the direction of the palace and thanked the emperor.
