Chapter 60: Eat Well but Eat Badly
"Master, I'm so envious of this skill!" Xu Ang touched his nose and said
Mu Caiyun didn't say anything, and was about to return to the room, when he suddenly remembered something and asked
"Boss, that hairpin head phoenix gift to Miss Zhang is your best friend in the capital?"
"Phew! What's good? How vulgar? That's called a sweetheart! When Xu Ang heard this, he almost didn't bite his tongue, Master Mu is both civil and military, why is he so powdery when he speaks.
"I don't care what kind of sweetheart you have, just Miss Ben's martial arts and intelligence, it is too little to give you five taels of silver a month as a master, and the couplet you made the night before yesterday was given to me as a salary, not to mention that it was published in some messy book for others." Mu Caiyun said
Xu Ang thought about it carefully and remembered it, and Mu Caiyun said the night before yesterday, "And there are 80,000 miles in the world, and poetry and wine are only in love with swords!" "Shanglian, he is right, "since the red dust has fallen three thousand feet, greedy, hateful, drunk, crazy!" Mu Caiyun suddenly called himself boss, this is to talk about the salary with himself, so he nodded and agreed, and said.
"It's a matter of words, I can't give myself a salary increase next time. Go to bed early! Tomorrow we have to go to the relief camp. ”
Mu Caiyun was funny in his heart, who is rare with your little silver, and said
"It's a deal!"
He turned around and went back to his room to sleep. Xu Ang didn't care about the ladder when he saw it, turned around and went back to his room to sleep.
Early the next morning
Xu Ang passed on the trouble of insomnia to Mu Caiyun, this sleep was peaceful, he got up in the morning to go to breakfast, and saw Mu Caiyun's delicate dress still couldn't hide the sleepiness on his face, presumably this makeup was also to cover the panda's eyes, Xu Ang felt a sigh in his heart, so he asked
"Master slept well yesterday!" Xu Ang asked knowingly and kindly
"Uh-huh! Slept well! Mu Caiyun was eating steamed buns, still thinking about those three questions in his heart, and he didn't have time to answer Xu Ang casually.
Xu Ang was overjoyed when he saw it, so he didn't talk anymore, and happily ate breakfast.
After eating breakfast, Xu Ang, Mu Caiyun, Shen Li and his party set off to the disaster relief camp, this thing really doesn't want to take a sedan chair, it only takes half an hour to ride a horse, the sedan chair has to shake for a long time, and there is still a sedan chair. talked and laughed with Shen Li all the way, but quickly came to the disaster relief camp.
At this time, Chen Liang hadn't gotten up yet, Li Hui was already busy on the side, and as soon as he saw Xu Ang, he poured bitter water.
"O county magistrate! You can be regarded as here, I don't know what's going on yesterday, maybe there are too many mice, there is a lot of sand and gravel mixed in the grain, and it is not easy to clean, and the victims complain about it! Li Hui complained
Xu Ang laughed, it seems that Chen Liang really didn't know what to do, Li Hui didn't understand it yet, so he asked
"And what's going on now?"
"What else? Someone has been arranged to clean it up, but it can't be cleaned up, and there is still it in today's porridge, because there is sand and gravel in the porridge, and the people eat less. ”
Xu Ang nodded, but understood that there was sand and gravel in the porridge, and when the victims ate it, they must have slowly sorted out the sand and gravel in their mouths, and the amylase and starch in the saliva were in contact for a long time, and the starch was decomposed into glucose, which led to an increase in blood sugar content and a strong sense of satiety, so they ate less, not that they couldn't eat it. It doesn't hurt either.
Xu Ang pulled Li Hui aside and said
"Some sand and gravel are not harmful, and you should not wash all the sand and gravel out when washing rice, it will be better."
"How are you doing? O county magistrate! The victims of our camp have already complained a lot because of this incident, which new victims, as soon as they came here to drink such porridge, they had already left part of it yesterday, and it was spread that the reputation of our Xishui County was not good! Besides, if the victims are dissatisfied and cause trouble, what should we do? Li Hui said and pointed to the side, there were already some disaster victims who had just arrived and were about to apply for the job of Qi Wang's family workers, packed their bags and prepared to leave.
"Li Xiancheng don't have to worry, the number of disaster victims given to us by the imperial court is 50,000, and now the number is about the same, and other people should have gone to other places to receive relief, but it is very inappropriate to come to us. As for the trouble, it is also impossible, and now the victims have food and drink, but it is only a little unpalatable, and there is no end to it, and the victims have no motive and courage to make trouble. Mu Caiyun replied on the side
When Xu Ang heard this, he thought that in the future, the county bureau would have a grain stockpile, so there would be no need to arrange for Chen Liang to make trouble here, so the risk would be too great, and it would be discredited if it was discovered by the victims, and it would be much more convenient and safer to transport it here in the county office.
"Lao Li! The new victims can leave if they want to, our camp is already full, and it will be too much work and troublesome to squeeze here, and besides, other places are also helping the victims, and there is nothing to do. What if you eat too well and the drought passes, and the people are reluctant to leave? You can't raise it for a lifetime, so that the victims can be fed, but they can't eat well! In this way, we will be able to do things in the future! Xu Ang said
Li Hui suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, yes! I thought that it would be a merit to be able to help the victims more, and I didn't have to pay my own money and food, but I didn't think that there were many people in the disaster, and there were many idle people among them, and they were unwilling to leave when the time came, so how could it be good? Thinking that Chen Liang came out at night here, and after he came, there was sand and gravel in the grain, could it be that this is the meaning of the county order?
"How's it going when I told you to buy the grain?" Xu Ang asked
"It can be shipped to the county office within three days!" Li Hui replied
"After the county office has the grain in stock, the food from other places for the victims will be transported to the county office first, and then collected from the county office every three days. At that time, Chen Liang will go back to take care of the food problem. Xu Ang said again
At this time, Li Hui still didn't understand, and thought in his heart that he probably didn't know how much sand and gravel there was in the grain that would be transported in the future, but Li Hui felt that Xu Ang was right to do this, people have no foresight, and there must be near-term worries!
"Come, come, come! Bring the account of the relief food, and let's see how this banner will be hung! Xu Ang put his hand on Li Hui's shoulder and walked towards Li Hui's office.
The four of them took the accounts for a while, but the food of the King of Qi for disaster relief accounted for 30%, Xishui County, Shanyuan County and Shanyuan County accounted for 50%, and other squires accounted for 20%.
