Chapter Twenty-Four: Disaster Victim Leaders
I remember reading a classic line before, saying that our Chinese people have never had the spirit of cooking, and the so-called cooking is actually hoping that someone can make the decision for me.
It's not right to say that, but at least a thousand years ago there was nothing wrong with it.
The people are accustomed to giving everything they have, letting someone they trust to make decisions for themselves, and once they have someone who can make decisions for themselves, they will hug their thighs to death like biological instinct.
And now, Qin Hao and Xu Jie are these two thighs, and it is not easy to get rid of them if they are hugged.
When there is a great drought in the world, the water level becomes very shallow, and the boat is difficult to sail, so the slender man is particularly needed, just these victims poured in, this work will naturally be handed over to the disaster victims to do, the government's disaster relief can at most ensure that people do not starve to death, but if you want to eat enough, you still have to do things, although it is a little bitter to be a slender man, but the food tube is enough to eat, and each person has three catties of coarse grain and eighteen dollars to take home, so this job is also broken.
Naturally, this job was contracted by Xu Jie and the strong men.
And Qin Hao led the children's army and a large number of old, weak, sick and disabled people to organize to build a slum on the side of the wharf, and opened a slippery tea shed and other tertiary industries to do some services for the slender men, so that the work was monopolized by the two of them, so that now almost all the victims of Luoyang-Yang are looking at the two of them.
The two of them originally planned to keep a low profile when they entered Luo-Yang City, but it backfired, and their prestige became higher and higher, which made Qin Hao a little broken, anyway, he knew that his name was 100% in Chang'an, and his little life was simply resigned to fate.
………………
On the dock, the earth-shattering trumpet sounded, this is the lament of the slender men in their suffering, the rough hemp ropes, strangled on the shoulders are full of bloody wounds, and there are beads of sweat constantly flowing into the wound under the scorching sun, and under this almost exhausting heavy physical labor, a handful of salt is sprinkled on the wound.
Xu Jie, who was sweating profusely, wrung a towel and put it on his shoulder, walked to an herbal tea shed and sat down, and the sensible little girl brought a bowl of herbal tea that cleared the heat and removed the fire, which was poured into it by Xu Jie's neck.
"Where's your eldest brother?"
"The eldest brother went into the city to find the county magistrate, and I heard him say that he wanted to contract the repair of the southern city wall."
"Huh? The heart is not small. ”
"There's no way, the eldest brother said that this person is easy to make trouble when he is idle and can't eat enough, although the slender man is short of people, as long as the best body is a good boy, the man with a little less strength can't always wait empty-handed to ask for food, find something to do, and also earn enough food for the family."
Xu Jie nodded and said, "Yes, not everyone is as blessed as you, such a good big brother, how is the planning of the troupe?" The brothers are clamoring for commentary. ”
The girl smiled: "It's almost over, the county lord has approved the boss a piece of land, and the building materials are also borrowed from him as an old man, this county lord is really a good person." ”
Xu Jie smiled silently, the little girl doll is simple, he is not stupid, this matter has nothing to do with the character of the county master, Qin Hao is the head of all the victims, the county master has to be careful to worship no matter what, with the two of them, I don't know how much heart to save the county master, and approving two pieces of land is a matter of repaying the peach.
On the other side, Qin Hao.
At this time, Qin Hao's appearance is estimated to be sour again if Xu Jie sees it, he is here to establish a good leadership image and take the lead in pulling fibers, so that there is no pain in the whole body, no one is not injured, but Qin Hao is wearing a clean plain Confucian robe, and he is also holding a folding fan in his hand, kneeling in a big house with sandalwood around the window, drinking good sake, and there is a caring and sensible maid on the side.
No way, who let us be business representatives, this is to chat with the county master, you can't just come over like a beggar.
The county master is busy and crazy, and at this time, he can't make an appointment without a phone, so Qin Hao came just in time for a meeting this time, and he can't pick other people's officials or masters, so he can only drink light wine and dry wine in the living room of the county government, and suddenly feel that the two little girls are good, and one of them can't help but burst into tears.
"What's your name?"
"Back to the son, the slave is called a finch"
"Oh, what about you?"
"Hui Gongzi, the slave is called Cuckoo."
"Oh, Lord Du likes birds very much."
"Yes, Lord Du likes birds very much."
"Then have you seen Lord Du's bird?"
“…………”
This Luo-Yang County is a Jing County, and it is the old capital of the former Sui Dynasty, so the living room of this county government is also magnificent, among which there are many celebrity calligraphy and paintings, Qin Hao even saw a pair of suspected Wang Xizhi's true handwritings, but unfortunately he doesn't understand, he can only watch a lively, drinking a little wine and occasionally teasing the maid on the side, but he doesn't feel bored.
This county master is also an old man of the former Sui Dynasty, he has been a magistrate for more than ten years, and it is the first time he has collected so many homeless people, but it is much easier than before, and there has been almost no mess so far, this is all the credit of the little doll in front of him, basically as long as he deals with Qin Hao alone, he doesn't have to worry about the affairs of the victims, so he is extremely polite to Qin Hao, and he screams one by one, and there is no arrogance at all.
Although he is an official and Qin Hao is a citizen, the two of them really can't say who is asking whom, these hundreds of thousands of disaster victims have a little mess, he, the official master, has to get out of class, if Qin Hao dares to make a big fuss, I am afraid that he will die in front of Qin Hao.
Because of this, Lord Du, who has always been honest and never greedy for ink, will inevitably use his power for personal gain, and with a wave of his hand, he gave Qin Hao a long piece of land of several hundred acres on the wharf, and also gave building materials on credit in the name of the county government, so he sent Qin Hao's ready-made troupe for nothing.
Therefore, Qin Hao is also relatively sensible, just wait a while.
It took a long time for the county magistrate to arrive, and before the person arrived, he was particularly enthusiastic, and he heard his hoarse voice from afar: "Oh, I'm busy with official business, it's really busy with official business, let Qin Xian's nephew wait for a long time, don't blame it." ”
According to the routine, Qin Hao naturally wanted to say how dare he at this time, the two people, one big and one small, were polite, and the county master also knelt down and filled the wine unhurriedly.
Qin Hao has not been dealing with him for a day or two, they are quite familiar with each other, and after a few simple polite words, they will get down to business.
"I don't know what happened when my nephew came to my county office in his busy schedule? But is there any material missing from the opera construction team? ”
Master Du laughed, how dare such a trivial matter come to bother. That's the case, after all, only a small part of the disaster victims have the strength to pull fiber at the wharf, these tens of thousands of people have no work, all pointing to the imperial court's disaster relief food is a little too idle, there are always people who come to me to intercede, there is really no way, isn't this to ask Lord Du for help, as the so-called idle is chaotic, find something to do for them, Lord Du can manage it more easily. ”
Master Du smiled bitterly and said: "Virtuous nephew, aren't you joking with your uncle, the officials in the whole city of Luo-Yang City are now spinning, don't hide it from my uncle I slept for less than two hours yesterday, this is still a person, material resources to the court a day to make more than a dozen notes, granaries and money warehouses are all in full force for disaster relief, how can there be spare time and spare money to do any construction?" ”
Qin Hao smiled and said, "This uncle, don't worry, since the little nephew is taking this errand with you, it is naturally the little nephew who will take care of it, how dare Uncle Lao bother again." ”
