During the rainy season in June and July, the embankment of the Zhenjiang River bursts, and all the houses near the river are washed away by the flood, and the low-lying areas of Zhenjiang Prefecture have fallen into a vast ocean.

When Kang Damao heard this bad news, he stood alone outside the courtyard and looked at the rolling river in the distance, with a lot of thoughts, the water can carry the boat and overturn the boat, and this river has brought heavy harm to the people.

The embankment should have been built a long time ago, the root cause is the inaction of the Zhenjiang government, these people have filled their pockets with all the funds allocated by the treasury for building the embankment, it is really damned, Kang Damao clenched his fists, this is the reason why he is unwilling to test his fame, everyone in the officialdom is like this today, it is really difficult to show his ambitions, it is better to be a businessman, when he is poor, he will be good alone, and when he is rich, he will help the world.

Kang Damao couldn't care about personal grievances for the time being, and in the face of danger, he decisively put aside the porcelain smuggling for the time being.

As a member of the Zhenjiang Fu Lifesaving Association, Kang Namao, he is obliged to build the embankment, he immediately summoned people, took Kangfu up and down the river to build the embankment, rushed to the riverside when he was stunned, at this time the whole embankment gap is too big, it can't be blocked at all, the scene is very dangerous, and it is urgent to evacuate the people nearby.

At this moment, the government has been sending people to evacuate the people, Kang Damao has also joined them, has been busy for a day and a night without a drop of water, fortunately all the people have been evacuated to a safe place, but how to settle the people has become a big problem, can not take all the people home, so many people even ten Kang Mansion can not fit.

After thinking about it again, Kang Damao simply ordered Ah Hu and Ah Bao to build a simple shed outside the Kangfu mansion with people, and took the affected people to live temporarily, and he asked Xiaohua to take people to the market to purchase a large number of bedding for the people to warm up at night.

Inside the recovery hall.

"Shaodong, I just went out to investigate, and now there are too many people affected by the disaster in the entire Zhenjiang Mansion, we can't arrange it at all, they heard that we have relief here, and now they are all rushing into our side, so I'm worried that sooner or later there will be chaos!" Apo said worriedly.

"Brother Da Mao, we are now placing all the people here, we can't watch them starve to death, and we have to take care of their food and clothing, just like Abao said that there are too many people, we are really powerless." Ah Hu also frowned and said.

"How much can be saved, Xiaohua, from today onwards, the whole province will save money and food, save expenses, and use all the money saved to help the people." Kang Damao commanded Xiaohua.

"Don't cook the kitchen food for me alone, let's all eat the same big pot of rice." Kang Damao did not forget to tell the kitchen.

"Shopkeeper Sun, tomorrow you go and count how much grain is still in stock in the warehouse, and let people inform the grain in Luohe Zhenjiang Mansion that the grain will no longer go by boat, and wait for my order to prepare to open the warehouse and release grain at any time." Kang Damao explained to the shopkeeper Sun.

"Shao Dong, the two grain farms opposite our grain farm have been vigorously buying grain and waiting to sell at a high price recently, I know that Shao Dong you are kind-hearted, but after all, we are businessmen, not only do we not make a penny but lose all our money, or please consider it again." Shopkeeper Sun frowned and persuaded worriedly.

"I don't care what others do, but our Kang family will never make black money, let alone take advantage of the fire to rob the people, we have to be upright to make money, we are businessmen, but we are also conscientious people, just imagine, now your family is displaced and hungry, how do you feel?" Kang Damao stared at them in front of everyone in Kang Mansion and said word by word.

"We'll all listen to you!" Shopkeeper Sun took the lead with a red face and said, and the rest of the people agreed.

"Hmmm! But then again, it's useless to rely on our family alone, and we have to unite all the businesses in Zhenjiang Mansion to solve the problem of the affected people in the entire Zhenjiang Prefecture, and it seems that I will have to go to the Chamber of Commerce tomorrow to implement this matter. Kang Damao thought and said.

At dinner time, the aroma of the kitchen of Kangfu wafted down the fence to the street outside.

"Wow! It smells so good! ”

"Mother, I'm so hungry, I haven't eaten for a day, I really want to eat steamed buns."

"Oops! Thinking about the old days, it was really good, although I was not rich and could still eat a full stomach, but now that the good family is gone, even eating a steamed bun has become a luxury. ”

"Kangfu is so rich, don't ask for anything else, as long as you can give me a steamed bun."

"People are now in the house with the delicacies of the mountains and seas, there is wine and meat, how can they care if you live or die."

"You guys should be content, if it weren't for the kindness of the young owner of Kangfu, we wouldn't even have a place to go this night, at least there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain now."

"I'm ashamed to say that I saw him walking down the street a few days ago and scolded him for being a stupid hat, and now I think about it, isn't it bullshit."

The people in distress outside the courtyard smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen of Kangfu, and their mouths were really uncomfortable, and they were all talking in whispers.

At this time, there were a few brave people who climbed the courtyard wall and stretched out their heads to look at Kang Fuli, and their eyes looked straight to the kitchen where the aroma came from.

Kang Damao asked the kitchen to make steamed buns from a big pot and a big pot, and then made a few large pots of clear soup, and then he changed into ordinary people's clothes and took the people of Kangfu to visit the affected people outside the hospital.

"Folks, everyone has a time of trouble, since you came to my Kangfu gate today, I can't watch everyone starving, there are some steamed buns and clear soup here, barely let everyone have a full meal, let's talk about it tonight." Kang Damao said loudly while handing out steamed buns to the people.

"Thank you, young owner."

"Let the young owner bother."

"We will keep in mind the great kindness of the young owner."

The people stood up and thanked them!

"Now it seems that although the young owner of Kangfu is rich, he has no shelf at all, and now I am afraid that no one cares about us except him."

"Who was saying sarcastic things about someone just now?"

"I'm a stupid hat, I'm ignorant, he gave me a steamed bun and a bowl of soup today, and I will repay this kindness in the future."

After the almsgiving, the Kang Mansion gathered around to eat steamed buns and drink clear soup, this is the first meal they ate today, when all the people in distress saw this scene, they were all moved to tears when they learned the inside story, so that the boss who is blessed with the family and the maid is in trouble, and the loyal family maid is really enviable.

That night, Gao Degui, the prefect of Zhenjiang Prefecture, sent someone to inform him, asking Kang Damao to go to the Zhenjiang Prefecture early tomorrow morning to hold a meeting with many wealthy local businessmen to discuss disaster relief matters.

Kang Damao frowned after hearing this, "Oh egg!" This is the first time that the prefect has invited him to a meeting at the government office, and many wealthy businessmen have been invited by the government to donate silver, Kang Damao pinched his chin and thought, except for asking for silver, the prefect will not invite these businessmen at all.

That night, Kang Damao called several important people in the Kang Mansion to the conference hall to discuss.

In the end, it was decided that Erhu and Abao would take the Kang Mansion to set up a shed outside the mansion early tomorrow morning to give porridge, trying not to let the people go hungry.

On the second day, Kang Damao took Xiaohua to Zhenjiang Mansion together, which was also to let Xiaohua see the world, he pretended to be crazy and stupid during this time the family and business were all run by Xiaohua, it was time for her to share the pressure on herself, Kang Damao himself still has a broader world to break through, and he will not always be trapped in this small Zhenjiang Mansion with a tiger in his heart.

When I arrived at the Zhenjiang Mansion, the two rows of the entire hall were already full of people, these people Kang Damao knew all of them, and almost all the rich businessmen and bosses in Zhenjiang Mansion had arrived, one by one sitting on the chairs drinking tea and chatting, and seeing Kang Damao come in and also knew each other, it was also because he was too young, and many wealthy businessmen did not take him seriously at all.

Even if they didn't put Kang Damao in their eyes, they all looked out of the door, and the place where they looked happened to fall on Xiaohua behind Kang Damao, Xiaohua's beauty needless to say, even Kang Damao and Erhu fell in love with it when they first saw her, and now she exudes a unique aura of a strong woman.

"This is the beautiful boss of Kangjing Shengshi porcelain shop, she is really as beautiful as a flower."

"I've heard a little about it before, but today it's really a strange woman."

"Looks like I'm going to have to do some porcelain business in the future! Ha ha! ”

"You have it, the three wives and four concubines in your family are not enough for you?"

"No, no, no, all the vases at home are ornaments, not as good as this woman."

The rich businessmen in the hall were all talking about it with a big grin, Kang Damao was still a little proud at the beginning, the more he listened, the more he didn't feel good, he walked in with a black face and sat down directly, Xiaohua sat next to Kang Damao, generous and decent.

At this time, Kang Damao felt a pair of eyes staring at him from the time he entered the door, and Kang Damao slowly raised his head and scanned the hall.
