Chapter 44: Quick Opportunity
When Zhang Ning returned home, he immediately instructed Lao Guan to choose a place to build a porridge shed and give porridge.
Lao Guan moved very quickly, and set up the porridge shed in half a day and set up the stove to cook porridge.
More and more victims poured into the capital, so much so that the area around Yongdingmen was smelly, and it was all rice fields.
Anxiang Bofu was the first to build a porridge shed near Yongding Gate, the first pot of porridge was just boiled out and was robbed, scalded and trampled on a number of people, Lao Guan had to ask for a doctor for these people, and sent a nursing home to give porridge.
After Zhang Ning learned about it, he said: "Send some more people over and let them line up, and those who don't line up won't be given porridge." ”
"Yes, Childe." Lao Guan received the order, and sent thirty more powerful guards to the past, in front of the shed as a human wall, and he stood on a bench to maintain order, until it was almost dark, and finally reluctantly lined up two long lines.
The porridge is very thick, the chopsticks are inserted but not poured, and there is a large bowl per person.
Seeing that the time of curfew had arrived, Lao Guan was sweating profusely and said, "Childe, what should I do?" ”
There are so many people gathered at night, those who know that they say that they are soup kitchens, and those who don't know think that they are going to rebel and that something big will happen.
Zhang Ning said: "After the cooked porridge, let them come again tomorrow." ”
He is plotting against Wang Zhen, but he can't let people seize the handle, let alone make the emperor suspicious.
There were so many people that most of the victims who rushed to hear the news did not receive the porridge and were so anxious that they were about to cry.
Lao Guan stood on the bench and made an instant speech: "Tomorrow morning, we will give porridge, everyone come early." ”
It was too late to queue up at the end of the hour, and many people were going to spend the night here, but after a few breaths, there was a two-mile-long queue.
It turns out that the queue with a cover has been around since ancient times. Zhang Ning muttered silently, and asked Lao Guan to go back to his house to get some quilts and give them to the victims lying on the ground.
Lao Guan was embarrassed: "Son, how can there be so many quilts in the house?" ”
You really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, do you know how many copper plates a quilt has? There are thousands of victims, how can they take care of them?
Zhang Ning said: "Count as much as you can, first give to those old, weak, sick and disabled." It's cold at night, and if you are weak and catch a cold, how can you stand it? ”
Childe's heart is good. Lao Guan promised to go by himself, as for whether these people would be robbed after receiving the quilt, Zhang Ning really couldn't care about it.
…………
"Anxiang Bofu is giving porridge in Yongdingmen?" Zhang Fu was not calm when he got the news, and immediately instructed the housekeeper: "Early tomorrow morning, you send a few people to build a porridge shed." ”
Liu Yu, Gu Xingzu, Xue Xu, Tan Jing, Sun Jie and others got the news, and they were also not calm.
The master didn't speak, how dare the housekeeper be the master of the soup kitchen? It must have been Zhang Ning's orders. The question is, how did Zhang Ning become so good? So discerning?
Soup porridge solves the urgent needs of the imperial court, not only to get a good name, but also to win the emperor's favor, why not do it? It's worth it to spend a few silver taels.
This kid saw the opportunity too quickly.
Liu Yu called Liu Nian over and said, "Don't be stupid in school, go and see what A-Ning has been doing lately." ”
"What's wrong with Aning?" Liu Nian, who was deeply stimulated by failing the proofreading, has recently changed his normality, and he does not release the book in his hand every day, and he still holds chopsticks in one hand and a book in the other hand when he eats.
"You go check it out." Liu Yu is angry, what's going on with his son? When Zhang Ning didn't study well, the two mixed together every day, and Zhang Ningjian ignored him in Dixin's son and studied in the mansion by himself? My son is stupid.
Liu Nian was worried about Zhang Ning, and he didn't know what was going on with him, so he hurriedly took a car to Anxiang Bofu.
Of course I didn't find it, Zhang Ning entered the palace on duty.
…………
Zhang Ning is on duty, and Yoyo is here.
He has been on duty in the palace for half a month, and he hasn't seen Youyou coming, which is strange. Youyou and Zhu Qizhen have a good relationship, and they often go to the palace to ask the Empress Dowager for peace, so it stands to reason that they will stop by.
Yoyo was dressed in a light blue shirt and a skirt of the same color, plain and elegant. She seemed to be looking for something, and it wasn't until her very bright eyes met Zhang Ning in the air that she pursed her lips and smiled, and she suddenly entered the side hall.
She's looking for me? A sweet smile appeared on Zhang Ning's lips, and his girlfriend was a lot more subtle after wearing it.
His right hand was released from the handle of the embroidered spring knife, and he quietly reached into his sleeve pocket, touching the jade pendant, thinking about whether to put the jade pendant on when she came over.
If only you could wear it with good luck all the time, and there would be no such thing as bad luck. Zhang Ning was silent, and felt that people's hearts were insufficient, a quarter of an hour was enough to change a lot of things, not to mention taking it off and putting it on again, and the time was recalculated.
Wait, take it off and put it back on? Zhang Ning almost jumped up, was his head kicked by a donkey? Why didn't you think of this? As long as you take it off quietly when no one is paying attention, remove it from your waist, and put it on again after a few breaths? Well, go home and experiment in the evening.
With new ideas, Zhang Ning was in a good mood.
After about three quarters of an hour, Jia Xiaosi came over and said, "Mr. Zhang, Your Majesty called you over." ”
Zhang Ning agreed, followed Jia Xiaosi and walked towards the side hall, looking at the delicate figure in front of him, he always felt that Jia Xiaosi looked at him strangely today.
Weird! Zhang Ning remembered something, shuddered, and quickly shook his head, driving away a terrible thought in his mind.
When I entered the front hall, I saw that Zhu Qizhen was not in the palace where he used to watch the music to deal with government affairs, but in the east pavilion. The east pavilion is smaller, and there are a few thick brocade piers in the pavilion, a short one, Zhu Qizhen sits at the top, and the prime minister accompanies him.
Yoyo likes Jindun very much? Such a thought flashed in Zhang Ning's mind, and he saluted and said, "The minister has seen Your Majesty, and I have seen the county lord." ”
"Excuse me. Have a seat. Zhu Qizhen said.
Zhang Ning sat down in Jindun and said, "Your Majesty summoned the ministers, is there anything wrong?" ”
Since Wang Zhen didn't know how to dissuade him that day, Zhu Qizhen has not asked Zhang Ning to speak again these days, let alone let Zhang Ning eat together. What I knew was Wang Zhen's obstruction, and what I didn't know was that Zhang Ning's words and deeds were inappropriate, which made Zhu Qizhen unhappy.
I'm going to call today, is it Yoyo who speaks? Zhang Ning guessed and glanced at Youyou.
Yoyo smiled slightly, revealing two shallow dimples, and said, "I heard that you are here on an errand, I haven't had time to come over, just now, you look good in this body." ”
I've always looked good with your boyfriend. Zhang Ning muttered to himself silently, and said seriously: "The county lord praised it falsely." ”
Sure enough, you are a little bit right in front of Your Majesty. Youyou's very bright eyes were even more charming, and he said: "The disaster victims entered Beijing, the matter is not small, you set up a shed to give porridge for the first time, and you did a good job, Your Majesty praised you just now." ”
When you came here, you just told the emperor that I was the first to set up a tent to give porridge? Zhang Ning thought with his toes and knew that the honorable civil officials and gentry would follow the trend with an ancient brain, and he would take the lead. Of course, you have to work together, otherwise you will lose the wealth of Anxiang Bofu and not enough to buy rice and porridge.
There are too many victims.
"Exactly. Qing is worried about me, and I am very relieved. Zhu Qizhen said sincerely.
After a few days of flooding, the county order wrote a chapter and sent it to the capital. The cabinet drew up a message, and with the consent of the emperor and the empress dowager, the decree was drafted, and it took a day or two to urgently convey the decree for 800 li. As a result, the victims of the disaster near the capital have rushed into the capital.
