Such a small episode of Ding Youyang. didn't cause Zhang Fan any too much trouble for them. And actually. Ding Youyang's matter. They don't think it's a good thing, though. But as a thing that could have been expected in the first place. Zhang Fan: They didn't feel anything surprised by this. What's more. This thing. It also seems to have allowed them to pass the time of boredom a little. Even. Let them relax this serious feeling for a moment. Speaking of which. Ding Youyang can be regarded as a "hero".

Of course. It's just a joke. It's just Ding Youyang's business. It really made them relax for a while.

And next. It's time to let go of this relaxed attitude. Although the next thing. It's not a big deal. It's not time to do big things. But then it came next. It's simple, though. But there is no relaxation. Of course. refers to the next thing. It's not really a big deal, actually. It is to distribute food to the people.

That's right. It's a very, very simple thing. Even if it's for fairness. The grain will be recorded in the roster of the Yongning Mansion. The average serving of five stone of grain per person. Sent to these people. But. It's basically a very simple thing.

But. Even if it's simple. But it still needs to be careful and serious. After all, there were too many people who came to receive food. The whole city will come. And what is the problem with one stone? Definitely bigger problems are going to happen. So. Even if it's very simple. But Zhang Fan will still be very careful.

Of course. Feng Bao for this kind of thing. I really didn't have much interest. So he went to the government. I found myself a comfortable place to sleep. For this. But there was no objection.

And Liu Xian. Naturally, I immediately took over such a job. He had his soldiers distribute food to the people. And let them do the work of guards. to prevent any accidents from happening. And Liu Xian himself. He could have gone to rest. But he insisted on staying. Oversee the work here.

Zhang Fan is also the same as Liu Xian. He could have gone to rest. After all. There are three of them. Until now. They hadn't slept for almost twelve hours. Sleepiness is inevitable. But Zhang Fan also insisted on staying. Just in case something unexpected happens.

Thereupon. There was no verbosity this time. In Liu Xian's people. Help Mao Zhengqing and his people. When the first grain was brought in. There is no delay here. The distribution of food immediately began. After all. These people have also been hungry for a day. If you can't get food right away. I'm afraid something big is going to happen.

Even. When the grain was just delivered. It's been a mess here. However, he was a sergeant under Liu Xian. It was quickly pacified. And now. The people who came here are lining up. to receive food. Although only ten people can come up at a time. But it's fast. Just check the name. and the population of the family. Food can be distributed immediately.

Merely. Five stone grain for one person. It's not a small amount. And actually. One person simply can't carry so much. Not to mention. Some people still have to mention that a family of three or four carries 15 to 20 stone of grain. It's simply not possible.

So. Those who received food at the beginning. There's no way to get that much food home. Just have to wait there. Ask someone to go to their home or find someone to borrow a cart or something. And the people who came after. Apparently having heard the news. Learn to be obedient. They would come with carts and the like to get food. This really makes it a lot faster.

Originally. At the time of this kind of food distribution. Disputes that arise because of calculations. It's a lot. But that hasn't happened today. The reason is also very simple. After all, each person has five stone grain. It's not a small amount. And actually. This is already more than the amount of grain stored in the homes of any of the city's common people. Plus. It's an integer like five stones. So there's no need to weigh it at all. Just fill a bag with a metric funnel in the granary. It's just a stone.

So. That kind of scheming dispute. It never happened. This makes this time the food distribution work. It's going very smoothly. Merely. That's just the early stage. This was the case before. But after a while. This problem arises.

What a question. Very simple question. That is. The people of this Yongning Mansion. It's just too much. Of course. Maybe it's just 10,000 people. It's not a lot. But this number. For Zhang Fan, who can only send ten portions of grain at a time, they said. It's just too much.

Even if the food is delivered quickly. But you can only make 10 copies at a time. Other words. A thousand copies had to be sent out in each place to finish the work. The reason why it can not be increased anymore. It's also because it's only ten. It's already a bit confusing. Not to mention. This time. And the people kept coming.

Of course. Liu Xian could also mobilize a large army from outside the city to maintain order. But. Such a place at the entrance of this yamen. It's just not big enough. And the reason why they chose to distribute food here. And not in a different place. It is also because this is the very center of Yongning Province. The people of the entire Yongning Mansion. The distance to here is the most even. In order to cope with the situation in the city today. That's what I decided.

But. That's not the question. The real question is: Because there are too many people. And the distribution of food must also be on a first-come, first-served basis. This means: I want to finish distributing all the food. Zhang Fan estimated. This will probably continue until the morning. It will not be completed until the end of the day.

So. This also means: When the time comes. Other words. There are still three or four hours to go. There are still people who can't eat. That's a big problem.

The one who received the food first. Now I've started eating. But there are still people who don't. That's it. There may be people who are dissatisfied with this. Even something unexpected might happen.

So. It's almost the end of the time. I saw that more than half of the people had not received food. This made Zhang Fan change his approach.

He had the cauldron propped up. Made a lot of porridge and rice. Let the people or the homeless who have not yet received food. Come here first to satisfy your hunger.

Of course. This batch of grain actually came out of the treasury of Yongning Province. It is not counted in the batch of food that will be distributed.

For Zhang Fan's decision. Mao Zhengqing was naturally dissatisfied. But. Dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction. But he didn't dare to say anything against Zhang Fan at all. After all, nowadays. Whatever you may say. Zhang Fan can hold Mao Zhengqing down anywhere. Not to mention. Now Zhang Fan is going to use the grain in the treasury. And it's very legitimate. He Mao Zhengqing has no reason to oppose it at all.

Why. After all, the times are different. Even those who have now surrendered. But before the imperial court had any orders. This counterinsurgency thing. It's not over. Since it's not over yet. Then that is to say. It's still wartime. And Zhang Fan is the most presiding over this matter. The main general is also good. High-ranking officials. Grain in the surrounding treasury. It's just as he mixes. Of course. After this matter, Zhang Fan naturally needed to come forward to explain it to the imperial court. But. Used in this regard. There was absolutely no objection to it.

In a word. Zhang Fan is using a legitimate reason. to use the grain in the treasury of Yongning Mansion. No matter where he uses it. As long as he doesn't take it privately. In this way, Mao Zhengqing has no reason to oppose Zhang Fan.

Of course. Food is being distributed here. And the soup kitchen is still being given over there. In this way. Although there are many people who come here. There is also the meaning of more and more. But the situation on the spot. But it's more stable. Well, after all. You can eat right away. It can satisfy hunger. And they were able to get food and go home. That's it. Among those below. Whether intentionally or unintentionally. There's no reason to make any more surprises.

Merely. Not all of them. Those local tyrants and landlords and the like. I definitely don't like this scene. After all. This is all the people of the city. Now everyone gets five stones of grain. Eighty percent of them were originally hoarded at home. This kind of thing happened. No matter what these people think, they can't afford to be happy. Even if they could have hoarded so much food. It's not because they've exploited a lot of the people below. But apparently they don't care about this kind of thing at all. Put it in the granary of their home. Treat it as your own.

And even if they use this reason to reason with Zhang Fan. Zhang Fan will also tell them the opposite. The grain is no longer in their granary.

Of course. Those individuals were also given five stone of grain each. Merely. Obviously they are very much at a loss. After all. There are many subordinates in these people's families. Of course. They will also get their share. But. Many of these subordinates are not local to Yongning. But they also have to eat now. And all of this is going to be counted on their heads.

In a word. This incident has caused these people to suffer a big loss. But. Before, Ding Youyang, who was considered the person with the highest status in Yongning Mansion, asked Zhang Fan for theory. But he still went back in disgrace. Others. I didn't dare to say anything more at all.

Therefore. That's what is the calm down that we have now.

And Zhang Fan. Don't care about any of that. I don't care about these people. Now he is resting. But Liu Xian was still staring at the yamen. After all. Nowadays, the likelihood of accidents is much lower. But it's not for nothing.

Zhang Fan's rest. But it's about recuperating your energy. Prepare for what comes after.
