Chapter 238: Relieving the Worries of the People
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
"Yes...... It's the Pillar Heavenly Capital Division! The thin middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, but still said boldly.
"Who?" Liu Xiu wondered if she had misheard.
The thin middle-aged man said: "It's the Zhutian Capital that doesn't give us homeless people a way to live!" After a pause, the thin middle-aged man cried with a handful of snot and tears: "Before the Zhutiandu Department came to Xinye, the county government would give us homeless people porridge from time to time, but since the Zhutiandu Department came to Xinye, the number of times the county government gave porridge was only a handful, especially after the general led the army to leave Xinye, the county government never gave porridge again. Young people who are strong and strong can still go to join the army and join the Zhutian Capital to eat, but what about those of us who are old, weak, sick and disabled? Pillar Tiandu Division
Isn't this a sincere desire to starve us all to death? β
It can be seen that the thin middle-aged man really has no way to live, and now that he sees Liu Xiu, the second-in-command of the Zhutian Capital Department, he is also open-minded, and he will say whatever he wants.
The three people of Xuying, Xufei, and Xuting who were standing aside all secretly pinched a cold sweat for him, and said such things in front of Liu Xiu, he didn't want to live, right?
To his surprise, Liu Xiu didn't get angry, at least not at this thin middle-aged man. Liu Xiu frowned and asked intently: "Since the general left, the county government has not given porridge again?" β
"Yes, General Liu, the grass people can swear to the sky, and what they say is true!" As he spoke, the thin middle-aged man knelt on the spot with a puff and kowtowed forward. He choked up and said: "The grass people know that General Liu is different from other officials, whether it is in Deng County, or in Chaoyang and Huyang, General Liu has treated the local people well, and I hope that General Liu can be the same in Xinye as in Deng County, Chaoyang and Huyang."
Be kind to me and so on! β
As he spoke, he kept kowtowing forward. Liu Xiu hurriedly took two steps forward, helped the thin middle-aged man up, and said, "If what you said is true, I will give everyone justice!" β
After such a thing, Liu Xiu had no intention of going to the teahouse to watch the play again, he said to Liu Boji and Xu Xiling in the car: "Xiling, you take Boji to Duyang Chunxue first, and I will go to the county office!" β
As he spoke, he turned his head to the guards in civilian clothes on both sides and said, "You escort the two young ladies to the teahouse." β
"Yes!" All the plainclothes guards agreed in unison, and then escorted the carriage and continued to go in the twilight spring snow, while Liu Xiu took another carriage and took Xuying, Xufei, and Xuting to the county office.
Behind the carriage, hundreds of homeless people followed.
Xinye County's name is Liu Tong, a relative of the Liu family, who used to live in Chungling, and has a good relationship with Liu Xiu, but the relationship with Liu Xiu is average, mainly because the age difference between the two is more than ten years old, and they haven't played together since they were young.
Knowing that Liu Xiu had come to the county office, Liu Tong took the initiative to greet him and asked with concern: "Ah Xiu, you are not in the house to recuperate, why did you suddenly come to the county office?" Is something wrong? β
Liu Xiu said: "Liu County Order, it is said that since the general led the army to the north, the county government has never given porridge to the displaced people in the city, but is there such a thing?" β
Liu Tong was stunned for a moment, then looked behind Liu Xiu, and saw a lot of old and weak people in tattered clothes and skinny, his mind turned, and he understood what was going on.
He leaned sideways, waved his hand, and said, "General, please come in and speak!" β
Liu Xiu didn't say anything, and walked into the county office. After entering the hall and taking a seat, Liu Tong said: "Ah Xiu, do you know how many soldiers there are in our army now?" More than 15,000 people, so many brothers fought in front of them, and they had to eat and drink every day, and the huge amount of food consumed can be imagined. I
The army's grain is basically hoarded in Xinye, which is the lifeblood of our army, and I don't dare to move a grain of food, for fear that the front will be in an emergency and make the brothers hungry. Liu Tong said this, Liu Xiu can understand, but under Wang Mang's rule, the people are displaced, hungry, and the people are not able to make a living
Army, where did it come from? What kind of face does the Zhutiandu Department still have to claim to be the Han army? Who else dares to continue to hold high the banner of recovering the Han Dynasty? Liu Xiu said meaningfully: "I know and understand the difficulties that Brother Tong said, so this Xinye County Order is not easy to do." No matter who makes the county order, I have only one requirement, in Xinye, as long as Xinye is still under the governance of the Zhutian Capital, no one will be allowed to starve to death, if Brother Tong can do it, your Xinye county order is undoubtedly a great achievement, if Brother Tong can't do it, I will immediately write to the eldest brother, let the eldest brother change a county that can be done
Linglai Xinye posted! β
Liu Tong's face changed, and he subconsciously said, "Ah Xiu......"
Liu Xiu waved his hand at him, interrupted him, and said categorically: "Brother Tong only needs to tell me now, I can do it, or I can't do it!" β
Liu Tong and Liu Xiu looked at each other for a long time, he sighed faintly, lowered his head, and was silent for a long time, and he slowly said, "Ah Xiu, I'm ...... I do my best! β
Liu Xiu shook his head and said resolutely: "What I want is not Brother Tong's best efforts, as long as Brother Tong's words, yes, or no!" β
"This ......" Under Liu Xiu's tough attitude and unyielding questioning, Liu Tong's sweat beads were about to come out. Liu Xiu's eyes stared at Liu Tong without blinking, and Zhengse said, "Brother Tong, have you ever thought that the strength of our army is expanding so quickly, how many of them are newly joined homeless? They fought desperately with the reckless army in front, for something, to fill their own stomachs, but also to fill the stomachs of their families! If one day they knew that their parents were still hungry in the rear, or even starved to death in the streets, would they still fight as best they could on the battlefield? Will they come
Rebelled, turned around, and in turn helped the reckless army to deal with us? β
When Liu Tong heard this, his body shook suddenly, and he looked at Liu Xiu blankly, he really hadn't thought about these questions before.
Liu Xiu asked again: "So, my request is that no one in Xinye must starve to death, now I only need Brother Tong to say a word, yes, or no!" As if he had made a major decision, Liu Tong took a deep breath and said to Liu Xiu word by word: "Ah Xiu, I understand!" Even if I dig three feet into the ground, even if I dig all the rat holes in the city, I still have to gather food to ensure that every one in the future
At least once a day, you can give porridge to the homeless people in the city! β
Hearing this, Liu Xiu's face finally showed a look of relief, what he wanted was Liu Tong's words. It is not easy to ensure the supply of food and grass for the soldiers at the front, and to ensure that no displaced people are starved to death in the rear, but then again, it is not an easy task to raise an army to rebel, if there is no courage to face all kinds of difficulties
, the determination to overcome all kinds of difficulties, don't do it with your head in the first place.
In front of Liu Xiu, Liu Tong called the officials and asked them to immediately go to the granary to pick up grain, make porridge in the county government, and give alms to the displaced people in the city.
I saw that there were officials in the county government with white cloth notices coming out and hanging them in conspicuous places, and the homeless people waiting outside gathered around them, stretched their necks, and looked curiously. Literate people read the notice aloud.
Hearing that the county government will resume soup soup from now on, and it will also give soup every day, at least once a day, and the crowd at the scene instantly exploded.
People knelt down in front of the county yamen and shouted in unison: "The Zhutian Capital Department saved me, it was the Zhutian Capital Department that saved me and waited!" β
"If you want to thank you, you should also thank General Liu, it was General Liu who spoke for us, and the county government resumed the soup kitchen!"
"General Xie Liu!" "General Xie Liuβ"
The voices of thanks in front of the county yamen were heard wave after wave.
Prestige is not something that can be achieved quickly and increased all at once, but must be accumulated over time.
Of course, Liu Xiu's reputation is not innate, but he has accumulated little by little in the governance of Deng County, Chaoyang, Huyang and even Xinye.
He forced Liu Tong to make a promise to ensure that no one would starve to death in Xinye City, and this incident also made Xuying, Xufei, and Xuting reacquaint themselves with Liu Xiu and looked down on him.
Whatever his purpose, in short, he did a great thing for the people of Xinye. I don't know how many people will be saved by this move!
If in the past, Xuying, Xufei, and Xuting were completely indifferent to Liu Xiu, but now, they are staying on Liu Xiu's left and right, looking at the grateful eyes of the people around them, and they also begin to have a sense of honor.
Liu Xiu went to the county government and was delayed for an hour, and when he went to the teahouse, the hundred operas had already started for half an hour.
Seeing that Liu Xiu was finally here, Liu Boji, who was sitting on the second floor near the railing, got up with Xu Xiling, and the latter said, "Lord!" β
The former complained with a displeased face: "Third brother, why did you come, it's been a long time!" β
After a pause, she pulled Liu Xiu again and said with great interest: "The juggling and illusion performances are over!" You didn't see the illusion just now, the person is in the curtain, and it just changes, and the person is gone......"
Liu Boji gushed endlessly about how wonderful and incredible the illusion performance just now was. Liu Xiu smiled, listened to it, and met the two sentences from time to time, although his eyes were full of tiredness. Xu Xiling, who was sitting opposite, could see clearly that Liu Xiu was obviously exhausted, but he still insisted on coming to the teahouse, and he could still show a full interest and accompany Liu Boji to watch a hundred operas, which shows the weight of Liu Boji in Liu Xiu's mind
There are heaviness.
After the illusion performance, the next step was the martial arts and dance performances. Martial arts performances include sword dances, sword dances, and fights between two or more people. After the sword and knife dance performances of the previous singles, the next step is the performance of the two-person battle.
Due to the fierce action, the battle between the two was also very exciting, and the applause in the teahouse was continuous, and the atmosphere of the scene was gradually pushed to a climax. The battle between the two is over, followed by a multiplayer battle show. All of a sudden, seven or eight men dressed in black and wearing ghost faces ran onto the stage, some holding swords, some holding knives, and some holding sticks
Jointed.
At this moment, a man in white slowly walked to the stage. As the man in white came to the stage, there was a burst of exclamation on the stage, Liu Xiu put down the teacup in his hand, looked down through the railing on the second floor.
When he saw the appearance of the man in white clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Liu Xiu himself is a handsome young man, and he has seen a lot of handsome men, but compared with the man in white on the stage, I am afraid he will be ashamed. This man in white is not handsome, but beautiful, even if a beautiful woman stands next to him, I am afraid it will be dwarfed.
