Chapter 48: Disaster Relief
Wang Hanzhi, the prefect of Jiangning, Zhao Hao was not impressed by him, except for the meeting at the Yiya meeting that day, there was no other intersection.
For a traveler like Zhao Hao who came with the system after nine hundred years, he has no special respect for the Jiangning Prefect, after all, the position of the Jiangning Prefect has changed many people in recent years, especially in the past year.
But this time, the flood of victims made Zhao Hao's impression of this old Jinshi prefect greatly changed.
First of all, the matter of giving porridge and releasing grain to relieve the victims, according to Zhao Hao's kind of blood, people carrying a big basket of steamed buns and steamed bread and baked cakes are thrown down, which will inevitably cause riots and stampedes. The correct way is to let the victims line up one by one, each person has a small bowl of porridge, and the dry goods are a steamed bun, or a bun, or a baked cake, and the children are also given a copy, enough to satisfy hunger.
The city gate still has to be closed, the heavy rain has stopped, and the road outside the city is still dry, even if it is not done, the disaster victims cannot be allowed to pour in, otherwise the entire Jiangning City is afraid that it will be in chaos.
At present, it is still summer, Wang Hanzhi sent people to find an open and ventilated place, quickly transported wood, and set up a shed that can shade the sun and rain, for those who choose a suitable place to dig a tunnel, establish a unified thatched house, drainage ditch, and then sprinkle quicklime disinfection inside and outside the gathering point, the government officials and the soldiers guarding the city patrol the shantytown every day, constantly shouting, rats and dead fish and shrimp can not be eaten, especially dead mice, must be burned and buried on the spot to avoid spreading the plague.
An isolation area for patients has also been established, and those with headaches, brain fever, cough, phlegm, diarrhea, etc., are immediately sent in, and are divided into serious and light wards to avoid cross-infection.
Zhao Hao admired this old prefect so much that he even let go of the psychological superiority of the traverser, not everyone in these years is a corrupt official and a mediocre official, many people are still the pillars of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is the Great Song Dynasty that can last for hundreds of years.
When the grain was released, the government organized the sons and daughters of the city to participate, and by the way, let them know about the people's suffering, but they were protected by armed forces such as soldiers and servants with swords and guns in their hands to avoid chaos.
Zhao Hao naturally went there, those victims were originally hungry and panicked, and they were very noisy, but once there was hope, they were very quiet, waiting in a regular manner, all with dishes on their faces, looking sad and silent.
After receiving the porridge and grain. kept thanking him, and that feeling of gratitude to Dade made Zhao Hao's heart very uncomfortable.
Regardless of everyone's persuasion, Zhao Hao insisted on going to the nearest seriously ill area, and he and his entourage wore masks and white cloth gloves on their hands, and gave porridge and food in the seriously ill area one by one.
Those heavily armed victims were shaking their hands when they were holding the porridge bowls, and they even lay down on the ground to drink porridge. In fact, it is not a serious illness in the real sense, it is nothing more than a viral infection and a severe cold, but if it does not get better, I am afraid that it will not last for a few days and will die.
Seeing those dying seriously ill victims, Zhao Hao felt tightness in his chest, so he quietly performed life healing, 100 merits are worth 1 point, although they can not be completely cured, but the sick victims suddenly felt that the whole body was warm, and the condition recovered a lot in an instant, and the poor victims thought that they were cured by drinking hot porridge.
Of course, Zhao Hao naturally doesn't need them to be grateful for this, low-key is the king, letting people know that they have superpowers, it may not be a good thing, maybe they will be sliced.
……
On the morning of the third day of the soup kitchen, Zhao Hao had just finished washing, and Xie Yun's personal maid came to invite him, which surprised Zhao Hao.
Every day he lives a good life, and he doesn't marry a wife or concubine, and he hasn't been to the place of the Qinglou brothel since he crossed, so Zhao Hao sleeps very early every day, and naturally gets up early...... The health value is close to 70, and the little brother wakes him up every morning with a pillar of optimus, and it is not too late to think about it.
Therefore, Zhao Shixuan and his wife have never had the habit of urging, and they patiently waited for their baby son to share breakfast in the main hall every day, and they couldn't wait long anyway, and sometimes Zhao Hao was even earlier than them.
I sent someone to invite me today, but it was because the prefect of Jiangning sent someone to place an invitation yesterday, and held a banquet in the Chunfeng Building of the Zhao family, and what was even more strange was that Zhao Gongzi was specially invited to go with him.
Although Zhao Shixuan is a clan relative, after all, he is only a sending official from the fifth grade, and Wang Hanzhi is a real power dispatch official from the fourth grade, so he will naturally not be too lazy about Wang Hanzhi's invitation, he was originally a low-key person.
In the main hall, Zhao Shixuan and Xie Yun were discussing the intention of the prefect's invitation.
Zhao Shixuan sighed slightly: "I'm afraid it's a matter of money and grain sending, hundreds of thousands of disaster victims, even if they only eat two meals a day, they will need 400 stone a day, and the more than 3,000 stone grain in the treasury will be eaten in a few days." ”
Xie Yun said angrily: "The group of moths above has stripped the money and grain of the imperial court for disaster relief layer by layer, and the entire Jiangning Mansion actually only has 20,000 yuan of money and grain. ”
The voices of the two are not loud, no matter how angry they are, but the identity of the clan relatives is destined to be low-key, and if they are not careful, they will be sued by the good deeds to go to the capital, and they will not be able to walk around if they are not good at eating.
Seeing Zhao Hao's arrival, the couple stopped discussing and began to eat.
"Are you familiar with the prefect's mansion?"
Xie Yun was very puzzled by Wang Hanzhi's invitation to Zhao Hao by name, after all, although Zhao Shixuan was only the nominal head of the family, and the real power figure was herself, she really couldn't figure out why she called Zhao Hao.
"Perhaps, it's because the child is too handsome." Zhao Hao was also confused.
Xie Yun knocked on his head and didn't ask for any more questions.
Perhaps, it was Zhao Hao who shined in the palace and attracted Wang Hanzhi's attention.
……
Chunfeng Building, transferred from the Zheng family to the Zhao family, the business is more popular than in the past, but today's fifth floor was wrapped up by Wang Hanzhi.
In the lobby, everyone, wealthy businessmen, and celebrities in Jiangning City ...... All in one place.
Exquisite food, precious 20-year-old daughter Hong, elegant music, and a few top girls came to perform to entertain, and the reception was of a very high standard.
Even, in the southeast corner, there was a scene of silk curtains hanging - the prefect of the king actually invited the Merlin monks to come to perform.
It's just that most of the powerful and rich people who came here today were absent-minded, and only when Merlin played the piano, they listened quietly, and the rest of the time they were whispering and discussing.
Although the banquet is sumptuous, it is not a good feast, and today the prefect invited him to come, I am afraid that it will be greatly bloodletting. Although it is said that every year there is a famine, it will be like this, but this year's disaster is more violent, more and more people are flocking to Jiangning, and the number has exceeded 100,000, and I am afraid that there will be more than 100,000 mouths waiting for food, which is not a small number that can be filled.
In particular, the price of grain is rising day by day, and if you look at it, it will break through two or one stone, and I am afraid that it may rise to three or even more than five in the future......
Donate more, no one's money is washed by floods; Donate less, and I'm afraid that I will lose face if I fall behind.
Seeing that the personnel had arrived, Wang Hanzhi finally stood up and began his opening remarks.
First, he made some pleasant greetings, then described the disaster situation, and then described the recent disaster relief situation one by one, especially the consumption of money and food, in great detail, so as not to be suspected of corruption, and finally got to the point.
The point is that the government is short of money and food, so please support you, leave a reputation for eternity, and accumulate merit for eternity.
After the Wang Governor's passionate speech, the venue was instantly silent, silent, and even those who were originally whispering sat up, and no one was willing to be the first to express their position.
There are two main reasons: first, this year's hole is too big, not a little money and food can be plugged, and no one dares to express their position easily; Second, the prefect of the past few years was Cai Wei, who was a master who desperately climbed Cai Jing, and also a master who scraped the ground, everyone was quite jealous of it, but since the beginning of this year, Cai Wei has just changed Zhang Zhuang for less than three months, and then replaced Wang Hanzhi, the personnel are frequently replaced, Wang Hanzhi is old again, and everyone's mind is also active, not as awe and fear as last year.
After two sticks of incense, Wang Hanzhi's expression became more and more embarrassed.
Finally, Jiang Ning's parents took a deep breath, looked at Zhao Shixuan's table, and stopped.
"Zhao Guanren, I heard that Ling Gongzi does a good deed every day, and he is willing to give kindness, but I don't know ...... this time"
Zhao Shixuan was still stunned, but Zhao Hao's heart jumped, and he instantly understood Wang Hanzhi's intention of inviting him.
No wonder, all the guys who came today are old guys, only the son Yushu stands in the wind...... He turned to Xie Yun, revealing the meaning of inquiry.
Wang Hanzhi's words were actually for him, but it was Xie Yun who could call the shots in the Zhao Mansion, and the honest Zhao Shixuan was only the nominal head of the family.
"This family, sooner or later, you will be in charge, you are in charge." Xie Yun said softly, with a look of encouragement in her eyes.
Zhao Hao looked at his father again, and when he saw that his father also nodded, his heart suddenly became inexplicably warm, and he immediately stood up.
"Since the Zhao Mansion is a clan relative, it should solve problems for the government and contribute to the mourning souls, and my Zhao Mansion ......"
Zhao Hao said the key point, paused, took a deep breath, and then said loudly, "I am willing to give 20,000 yuan of money and food!" ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of exclamations in the lobby, and the audience was in an uproar.
