Chapter Seventy-Nine: Chopsticks Don't Fall

According to the results recorded in the "History of the Yuan Dynasty" and the "History of the Yuan Dynasty, the Five Elements Chronicles", during the 130 years from the 10th year of Taizong Wokotai to the 28th year of Emperor Shun (1233-1368), there were 1,512 disasters such as floods, droughts, locusts, hailstorms, earthquakes, and frosts.

Among the more than 1,000 natural disasters, there were 687 floods, 256 droughts, 213 locust plagues, 150 hailstorms, 129 earthquakes, and 77 frost plagues. Although the information is incomplete and the records appear somewhat fragmentary, they do reflect the natural conditions of the time.

The bursting of the Yellow River was just one of them, and it was not that the Mengyuan court completely ignored the affected people.

Zhang Taiji learned from Zhang Mi that the Yuan Dynasty implemented a disaster relief system for applying for inspection and body review.

Shen is the disaster area to report the disaster situation to the imperial court; The inspection is that the imperial court sends people to inspect the disaster on the spot; Officials at all levels supervised the distribution of disaster relief materials step by step.

Not to mention the local officials' concealment of the disaster, the internal quarrel in the court, the mobilization of disaster relief materials, and then the officials at all levels withheld and intercepted the flow, even if this set was implemented smoothly, for those victims who were waiting for food to make ends meet, it was really cold daylily!

In the Yuan Dynasty, the local Lufu Prefecture has a permanent flat position, the permanent flat was first created in the Western Han Dynasty, it is a granary built by the official funding, Chen Yixin is born in the harvest year, and the disaster year is relieved by the way of Pingguang or Sanji.

Nowadays, the drawbacks of regular liquidation are very serious, and the provincial authorities have been deducted by officials at all levels, and there is little left in the township; So the people were apportioned to receive money and accept the valley, and the officials and the head of the Li Zheng cheated again; or the money is embezzled and misappropriated, and the officials temporarily collect the bad grain in order to cope with the inspection of their superiors, and it will be corrupted after a long time; Or when the price is reduced, it is snapped up by the corrupt officials, profiteers, and powerful people, and the poor cannot benefit.

Before the arrival of the imperial court's disaster relief materials, local social forces were very important in disaster relief, and local disaster relief was also divided into many kinds, such as the villages had community warehouses, the towns had righteous warehouses, and there were camp warehouses in the border areas. Another example is intra-clan relief.

Since Fan Zhongyan founded Fan's Yizhuang in the Northern Song Dynasty, this model has become a model for family relief in later generations.

As the suzerain of the Zhang clan in Jinan, Zhang Mi naturally has the responsibility of relieving the clan relatives and giving priority to providing them with food, shelter, clothing and other daily necessities. The other clans are about the same.

There are also many wealthy people who voluntarily give money and food to help the victims, and monasteries and Taoist temples will give some as long as there is surplus food.

Tai Chi Sect because of the preparation in advance, the first porridge shed is them, this is the Tai Chi Sect since its inception, the first appearance in front of the public, in order to let the people can clearly remember the Tai Chi Sect, this emerging organization, Zhang Tai Chi has spent a lot of effort to prepare.

First of all, all the personnel of the Tai Chi Sect are uniformly dressed, and it is a little difficult for everyone to make a suit of clothes, but no one puts on a vest, which is relatively easy to achieve.

The vest is simple to make, easy to put on and take off, large and small points can be worn, and each vest has the logo of Tai Chi Teaching. Taiji diagram, people can recognize at a glance that this is a person who teaches Taiji.

The porridge shed is erected, a flag is erected next to it, the flag is made of white cloth, and the top is outlined with a black line, which is also a Tai Chi pattern, which can be seen from afar, which is very eye-catching.

These are all appearances, if you want people to have a good reputation, the most important thing is to be able to help the victims on the inside.

Since it is a relief almsgiving, it is naturally impossible to be a big fish and big meat, and now disasters occur frequently in various places, even if it is a wealthy family, the surplus food at home is also counted, so the relief of disaster victims is generally porridge.

"It is better to cook rice than porridge, so that you can discuss it with your children. One liter can be used for two liters, and two days can be used for six days. If you have a guest, you only need to add water and fire, and you don't need to ask for soup if you have no money. Mo Yan is indifferent and has little taste, and the taste is long in indifference. ”

Tai Chi teaches the soup to give alms is also different, Zhang Taiji refers to the legend of later generations, the standard of disaster relief porridge in disaster years, the boiled porridge should be inserted into the chopsticks and not poured, the thin soup and little water can not be done, to let people eat a bowl, can last a day to be qualified.

The soup kitchen is not a new store, there is no need to beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers, let alone singing and dancing performances to cut ribbons, a few cauldrons of various grains tumbling and tumbling, naturally exude an attractive aroma, for those hungry victims, this fragrance is more useful than any advertisement.

People first gathered from all directions, and the people of the Taiji Sect did not greet them, they were all busy with their own work, until someone came forward to ask for porridge, Zhang Taiji personally came forward to talk.

"This big brother wants porridge to eat?" Zhang Taiji's tone was modest and his face was cordial.

"Exactly! Precisely! I hope that the little master can take pity on me and give me some charity. ”

At first glance, this person was a farmer, with flattering words in his mouth, his eyes looking at the porridge in the pot, and his throat was shaking and swallowing saliva.

"These porridges are ready to be shared with everyone, but there are a few small requirements before they are distributed."

Zhang Taiji said loudly, trying to let more people hear his words.

When the victims heard that they could eat the porridge in the pot, they were all excited, and if you pushed me, they squeezed forward, if it weren't for the Tai Chi Sect to have some hands here, they would have to rush up to take the porridge and eat themselves.

Zhang Taiji waved his hand behind him, and several sect members carried over two wooden basins, filled with water, and then shouted:

"Please consciously line up, and then check whether your dishes and chopsticks and hands are clean, if not, please wash them here, otherwise there will be no porridge here."

Zhang Taiji did this to make the victims develop the habit of hygiene by formulating rules, not to underestimate these inconspicuous things, wash hands frequently, and keep the tableware clean, which may avoid the occurrence of some diseases.

Seeing that the victims heard their words, they were a little dazed and at a loss, Zhang Taiji was fortunate to give them a demonstration first.

He washed his hands in the wooden basin, took a clean bowl, walked to the porridge pot, stretched out his hand and the dishes and chopsticks for people to check, and after the chef confirmed, he filled him with a large spoon full of porridge.

Zhang Taiji deliberately took the fragrant porridge and ate it in front of the crowd. When the victims saw this, they all followed the same example, patiently one by one, washed their hands and dishes, and let the chef check before they got the fragrant porridge.

After coming and going, people know the rules of Tai Chi teaching, so they wash their hands, faces and tableware in advance, and when they come to beg for porridge, they can also save time.

Zhang Taiji sees these natures in his eyes, and it is really life that can exercise people the most, and under the pressure of survival, people can always show their wisdom.

In addition to the free soup and porridge, Zhang Taiji also posted a notice to recruit workers, thanks to the farm given to him by the king of Jinan, Zhang Baili planned to build it well, just looking for manpower from the victims.

Not only these, Zhang Taiji also recruits some readers who can write and calculate, craftsmen with a skill, and strong coolies.

Zhang Taiji was lucky, and he really found a lot of people with some ability, and this time the Yellow River burst is not an opportunity for Taiji to develop and grow.

In addition, Zhang Taiji also selected dozens of boys and girls, and planned to take them with him to cultivate, which can be regarded as a long-term strategy for him.

Zhang Taiji doesn't think that he has to find celebrities in history to assist him in order to make a difference.

The reason why celebrities are famous, on the one hand, is because they have special talents, on the other hand, they are also heroes created by the times, if there is no special opportunity, the so-called celebrities may also be penniless, and I don't know how many talented people have been drowned in the long river of history.

Zhang Taiji believes that as long as he finds a suitable way to cultivate these teenagers, he dare not say that they can excel and become outstanding talents, but they will definitely grow up and be more knowledgeable than they were in the previous environment.

In these teenagers, Zhang Taiji can also experiment with many brainwashing routines in later generations......!

Don't say that Zhang Taiji's motives are not pure and too utilitarian, at least the teenagers can survive now, and it is possible to get ahead through hard work.
