Liu Xian waved his hand, so that these people did not have to be polite, and then said to them: "Actually, it's not a big deal. Mainly, starting tomorrow, I will give porridge to the people of the entire Yangshi County from the Liu Mansion of Liulin Village, so as to solve the food shortage crisis of the people of Yangshi County. ”

With a coax, these people who were called by Qian Kuan suddenly became excited again.

At this time, there really is nothing more important than food. As soon as many people heard that Liu Xian was going to give them porridge and food, they immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Liu Xian while shedding tears.

These are life-saving foods!

Many of them were already starving. It's pretty good for themselves, and their families, to have a little bit to eat a day, or a little bit to eat for two or three days. As for the people, who could not get food for several days, they starved to death.

"Quiet! Do you want the officers and soldiers to hear about it and check it? all listen to Liu Xian's son. Quiet! Qian Kuan promptly lowered his voice again and reminded these people not to make loud noises.

"There are more than 10,000 people in Yangshi County who are in a food crisis. Even giving them soup and food requires manpower. I asked Boss Qian Kuan to call you, and if he can call you first, it means that you are all people you can trust, and in the future, you will cook porridge, are you willing to do these things? ”

"Yes!"

Naturally, they will not refuse, not only will they not refuse, but they are also eager to try, and they can't start right away.

"Okay, now let's start in groups, ten groups of ten people each."

Liu Xian calculated, there are a total of four city gates in Yangshi County, and there is a soup kitchen outside each city gate. Then set up four soup kitchens in the southeast corner, southwest corner, northwest corner, northeast corner and other places in the city, so that it is convenient for the people in the city to take porridge to save their lives.

In addition, there is one in the center of the city, and one is set up in this inn, so that it is just divided into ten.

For the time being, it can only be like this, after a few days, the population is counted, then every household will have a fixed porridge point. This prevents the people from going to one of the soup kitchens to get the porridge and then running to the next one.

There is only so much food in total, and for the time being, it can only be porridge to save lives, and it is impossible for every person to really eat enough. Anyway, a day per person is at most three bowls of gruel, and each bowl is at most one or two rice porridge, and if there is more, it will exceed the food budget, which is not conducive to future plans. This also depends on the situation, and there may be appropriate increases and decreases.

In fact, this kind of charity cannot be done too much at once, and if the people are accustomed to this kind of gratuitous almsgiving, they will take it for granted. In case of a sudden accident and no food, Liu Xian, the benefactor, will suffer from their reproach.

These techniques of mastering people, these truths are generally understood by future generations.

When you can almost control Yang's County, it will not be soup kitchen, and you will directly lend them grain, well, interest-free loans. Of course, if you borrow Liu Xian's grain, then you have to do things for Liu Xian.

Of course, Liu Xian is not one of those landlords and tyrants, and he will not treat them as slaves and deprive them of the fruits of their labor. The so-called doing things for Liu Xian is actually doing things for themselves, they will also reap wealth, it should be theirs, Liu Xian will not be greedy for ink, and he will not allow the people below to be greedy for ink.

Liu Xian just planned a job for them that allowed them to be self-reliant, and gave them a way to see and touch a better future. Let them see the hope of a better life, and then burst out their enthusiasm for labor and create more wealth.

As long as everyone has some surplus money in the future, then many things can be done by Liu Xian.

Of the hundred or so people, most of them were women, and there were only about thirty adult men.

Liu Xian divided these into ten groups, each with three men. These three adult men are responsible for fetching water and getting firewood, and these three adult men have to do the heavy work in every group anyway.

In addition to the work of three men, there must be one person who measures the rice and washes the rice, one person who is responsible for watching the fire, and the remaining four or five people take turns to do things and distribute porridge and food to the people.

In addition, in addition to these ten people, Zhang Ze had already asked more than 30 women to be transferred from Liulin Village, and they would also be divided into groups of three. One is responsible for supervising the work of the people in each group, one is responsible for the supply of grain and rice, and the other is responsible for supervising the distribution of porridge and food.

In this way, it is just right.

Soon the group was divided, and Liu Xian asked them to get to know each other and remember their team members.

It's not enough to divide people into groups, and there are also the most basic cooking utensils and so on. It is estimated that more than 10 pots of porridge must be cooked at the same time. Each pot of porridge is estimated to be about thirty bowls, and ten pots are only two or three hundred bowls.

After each point is diverted, more than 1,000 people will go to get the porridge, and it will take three consecutive rounds of cooking to distribute it. Three bowls per person a day, which is equivalent to cooking porridge non-stop.

At that time, Liu Xian estimated that he would have to send more manpower, so that these people who were helping could have time to rest.

As for the cooking utensils, the main thing is the big iron pot.

But now there is a shortage of iron pots, and these hundreds of people come from dozens of families. It's these dozens of families, and they can't get together a total of ten iron pots. There is no way, who still has surplus food and money in their family? The iron pot is also an iron tool, and it has long been smashed and sold.

This kind of thing of smashing pots and selling iron is really not a legend, but a very realistic thing.

These are the little things, though.

Now Liu Xian pays attention to these little things, but he just wants to know what he knows. In fact, if you are specific, you can directly order Zheng Bo or Qian Kuan and others to do it.

Liu Xian let them not have to go back, just wait for tomorrow dawn, and start to go to the preset place to prepare, in order to motivate them, Liu Xian will pick into the city, and there is still a small half of the fish left for people to make, so that they can have a full meal.

Qian Kuan's inn, in addition to the pavilion shop on the street, there are three small courtyards at the back. Liu Xian and the others occupied a small courtyard, and the other two let the hundred or so people be separated according to men and women, and they would spend the night in the house first.

Liu Xian didn't rest that night.

Because he was going to write a proclamation.

Fortunately, Liu Xian's calligraphy is barely handy, but he doesn't know how to write traditional Chinese characters of this era.

But it doesn't matter, whether it is Zheng Bo or Qian Kuan, Liu Xian asked them to write a copy according to their own meaning, and then the three of them copied it together.

Hundreds of copies have been copied, and this is not the end, and it is necessary to let Liu Xue, Liang Cheng, and Liang Heng, the three girl boys, as well as Chen Gen, Chen Shi, and Liu Fu memorize together.

No way, most of the people in this era are illiterate, and when they write notices and put them up, they have to be read by someone to let the people know.

And reading the proclamation is their task tomorrow.
