Chapter 373: Charity and Charity

The prime minister's eyes when he looked at Xie Yutang were also full of inquiry and a hint of dissatisfaction.

Xie Yutang guessed that this matter should have been arranged by Chi Wan, and was about to say that it had been arranged a long time ago.

"There are indeed people from the General's Mansion who are serving porridge below, but it's not just us, so let's take a closer look." Chi Wan said lightly.

The crowd gathered around to take a closer look, and one of them shouted in surprise, "Why are there still my slaves?" Brother Liu, is that from your family? ”

"yes, it's my family." The official, surnamed Liu, was obviously also very surprised.

Everyone looked at it for a while, and found that their subordinates were all in the crowd of porridge pies.

"What the hell is going on?" Everyone looked at Ji Wan one after another, hoping to get a reasonable explanation.

Chi Wan smiled slightly, "I am very worried after knowing the situation outside the city, although I am just a woman in the house, I also want to do my part, but the power of the General's Mansion alone can't help many people, so I contacted your ladies." ”

Speaking of this, Chi Wan paused for a moment, and then showed gratitude and admiration, "The wives of all the adults are kind-hearted, and they are willing to help when they hear that they are going to do good deeds. ”

Everyone felt that their faces were shining when they heard this, and Chi Wan continued, "But I'm still young after all, so it's the Prime Minister's wife who organized it." ”

"No wonder it's so orderly outside, it turns out that the prime minister's wife is presiding." Everyone praised the prime minister's wife for her shrewdness and ability.

At this time, someone whispered with doubts, "But why didn't you see the descendants of Lord Lin's family?" ”

Chi Wan spoke before Lord Lin spoke, "I just sent someone to the mansion of your lords to inform you, as for whether people are willing or not, I can't force it." ”

Hearing this, everyone present showed a knowing smile, Mrs. Lin has always been stingy, I'm afraid she can't bear the silver.

Lord Lin was ashamed and angry, but he couldn't say a word, but fortunately, the city guard ran from outside to inform everyone that the stone had been removed, and everyone's attention was also diverted from the porridge.

The prime minister felt that although Xie Yutang was relatively young, he was extremely old-fashioned, so he handed over the distribution of food to him.

Although it was the first time for Xie Yutang to take over such a thing, he did not panic and was organized, and even managed the resettlement of the victims with his free hands.

"General Xie is really a rare talent, who can not only go to the battlefield but also pacify the victims." The prime minister touched his gray beard and sighed, there are talents in the country, he is old, Dongxuan is the world of young people.

Lord Lin on the side was very unconvinced, but Xie Yutang's affairs were really beautiful, and he couldn't find anything wrong.

"The general is indeed very capable, but it is precisely because he is so difficult and capable that my heart is more and more uneasy." Lord Lin had a worried look on his face.

"What do you mean by that?" The prime minister asked.

Lord Lin wanted to speak and stopped, "I still don't say these words, lest you think that I am deliberately targeting the general." ”

The prime minister snorted coldly, "If you have something to say, I have a decision in my heart." ”

Lord Lin glanced around cautiously, and deliberately lowered his voice, "Don't you think that the general is too popular, and his reputation among the people in the court is too high?" Not only is it higher than you, but there is even a faint tendency to surpass Your Majesty! ”

"What nonsense!" Hearing this, the prime minister's face changed suddenly, and he scolded loudly.

"Your Excellency." Lord Lin pounced and knelt on the ground, "Xiaguan just said everything from the bottom of his heart, this disaster relief was obviously sponsored by you, and we all see your hard work, but now the people only praise the general, how can you remember you?" Xiaguan is really unworthy for you! ”

The prime minister's face changed again and again, "As long as those victims are resettled, I don't care about these external names." ”

Master Lin knew that he still had ideas in his heart, so he took advantage of the situation to add to the fire, "Of course we know that you are of noble character and don't care about these false names, but General Xie is overstepping, and some things are not his responsibility, he just wants to run over and intervene, as if he is capable, obviously he wants to take credit and make himself alone." ”

"He's not trying to take credit, he's just trying to help." The prime minister's voice became quieter and quieter, but his expression became heavier and heavier.

"General Xie can now be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, but he is not satisfied, what does he want?" Lord Lin's words caused the prime minister to think deeply.

Xie Yutang didn't know what was in their minds, and they were busy with the resettlement of the victims.

Just now, the subordinates reported that some of the victims had already received food once, but they actually changed their clothes and took the food again.

And the accident happened again, and I don't know why someone actually took the lead in making trouble, more than a dozen victims and the soldiers who distributed food fought, and several victims accidentally died in the fight.

This incident was originally suppressed quickly, but I don't know why it became more and more noisy, making people panic, and from time to time there were disturbances by the victims.

As soon as Xie Yutang imprisoned the troublemaker, he received His Majesty's order to enter the palace immediately.

"Yutang, what the hell is going on, how could someone die if they were so good?" King Chu pointed to the folds on the table, his brows furrowed, "Look at these are all for you." ”

Xie Yutang didn't care at all, "Please trust Your Majesty, and the minister will be able to handle this matter soon." ”

The King of Chu pondered for a moment, "I believe in you, but there are too many people in the court who oppose you, and I also have a lot of pressure, so let's do it, I give you three days, and after three days, I don't want to see more troubles about the victims." ”

"Yes." Xie Yutang bowed and retreated, and as soon as he left the palace, he saw Chi Wan waiting for him at the gate of the palace.

"I'm worried about you." Xie Yutang looked at her apologetically.

Chi Wan shook her head gently, "I have already thought of a way for you, and I will definitely be able to solve this matter." After speaking, he whispered a few words in his ear.

Xie Yutang's eyes lit up after hearing this, and his expression was very surprised, "Your idea is really great, I believe that there will never be any more food grabbing trouble in the future." ”

He immediately instructed the people below to register the victims of the disaster, and then receive food according to the registered list, and when receiving food, they should put a check box at the back of the list, and they must also sign and press their fingerprints.

Originally, the conflict between the victims and the soldiers was because some people took food under false names, and some people could not receive it.

In addition, when receiving food every day, there were a large number of officers and soldiers watching from the side, and the victims did not dare to cause trouble.

Chi Wan always felt that the troubles at the beginning were too weird, those few dead victims were strong and strong, not like they could be killed with one punch, but they were pushed by the soldiers a few times and fell to the ground, which was really strange.

She sent someone to secretly infiltrate the victims for several days, and found that someone was deliberately provoking trouble, but when they went to arrest the troublemaker, they found that the other party had committed suicide by taking poison, and the clue was broken here.

This made Chi Wan's suspicions more and more serious, and she couldn't rest assured that Xie Yutang couldn't do it, so she simply explained everything about the shop to the shopkeeper, and followed Xie Yutang to help every day.

Because of the previous move. Chaos, Xie Yutang transferred his guards to maintain order, and Chi Wan explained that he had to queue up, cut in line or be crowded and not given porridge.

She asked the guards to shout back and forth several times, and asked people to write notices and paste them in the most conspicuous places, and those who knew the words would read them to those who didn't know them, and pass them on one by one, and the order was much better than before.

And the news of the alms here gradually spread, and more and more people rushed over.

Xie Yutang and Chi Wan have too many things to do every day, they often go back after dark, and they are hungry, and Chi Wan often can't wait to get home, so she will take out a few cakes to satisfy her hunger.

Xie Yutang was very distressed to see it, put her scattered hair behind her ears, and said softly, "Wanwan, thank you for your hard work." ”

Ji Wan smiled at him, "It's okay, you're working harder than me." ”

"This is my accusation, not hard."

Hearing this, Chi Wan felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

She raised her head slightly, looked at Xie Yutang's thin chin, and her heart also twitched with pain, in just a few days, Xie Yutang lost a lot of weight. It's hateful that he is so busy, but he doesn't know anything, but blames him for not doing things well.

Ji Wan also overheard people talking about it.

Thinking of what she heard outside the porridge shed today, Chi Wan's heart was uncomfortable to death.

"What, this job is not very good, I heard that I killed someone a few days ago, tsk, isn't this the responsibility of this general."

"What if it's him, he is now a celebrity in front of His Majesty."

"Alas, this is too much, if you don't do well, you should be punished, and then leave the matter to a really competent person to do, I think the prime minister is very good, but unfortunately, this general is too arrogant and takes all the work of the prime minister."

Chi Wan listened to it so much that she wanted to reason with people, but when she turned around, she found that there were people all around, and she couldn't tell who said it.

She held her stomach in her heart, and secretly said that these people really don't know what to do, Xie Yutang emphasized again and again that in order to make them full, they must put enough rice in the pot, and they use this year's new rice, which can be said to be very responsible.

He could have talked about things and chatted with other ministers in the court, but he braved the cold wind and ran outside. And what about them? No one is grateful.

"What's wrong, your cheeks bulge like that?" Xie Yutang was suddenly unhappy when he saw Chi Wan, and reached out to poke her bulging cheeks, saying funny.

Ji Wan glanced at him and pursed her lips, looking preoccupied.
