Chapter 33 Cash-for-Work

How to provide disaster relief? This problem has been bothering Wen Bin for many days! Along the way, Wen Bin struggled to think of various countermeasures, which can be described as racking his brains. After discussing with Fu Xuelan and others, the www.biquge.info finally decided on disaster relief measures, including cracking down on grain hoarding, building porridge sheds, cashing in for work, raising silver taels, circulating grain purchases, and waiting for opportunities to collect evidence.

To solve this crisis, cash-for-work is an indispensable measure and the most effective method.

"Deng County Order! The so-called cash-for-work means that through the construction of various buildings, the county government will pay the victims to buy food, and then we will take the proceeds from the sale to other places to buy food. In addition, if you want to survive, you must work hard! ”

Speaking of this, Wen Bin paused, and then said: "As soon as the announcement comes out, I believe that the victims will flock to it!" As the number of people increases, the wages will inevitably decrease, so the county government will spend much less silver taels on building various buildings than before, and the silver taels saved can be used to buy grain. Eliminate the advantages of one and the other, and alleviate the crisis! ”

No matter how Deng Xianling scolded Wen Bin in his heart, he couldn't help but praise at this time, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Wen Hou's move is really clever!" Xia Guan admires! ”

"Haha! This move still needs to be implemented by Deng County as soon as possible, and everything is done! Wen Bin waved his hand and said with a smile.

"The subordinate officer receives the order!"

In the days that followed, Wen Bin worked with officials in Changyun County to discuss the details of the relief. Because of the carelessness in the early stage, every official had to cheer up and carefully deal with Wen Bin's various questions. From time to time, an official knelt on the ground and shouted: "Wen Hou forgive the sin!" ”

It wasn't over until the third watch! Wen Bin and the others, under the guidance of Deng County's order, left the council hall and went to their residence. The officials in the hall were sweating profusely, slumped in chairs, breathing more and less in, and were about to die.

At this time, Changyun County County Cheng struggled to stand up, walked towards the outside of the meeting hall, and just walked to the door, he let out a shout: "Someone! ”

As soon as the words fell, a servant walked out of the shadows, ran quickly in front of the county Cheng, bowed down and said, "Luo Xiancheng! What are the commands? ”

Luo Xiancheng did not reply immediately, turned his head to look around, and after a while, he stepped forward and whispered something in the ear of the servant.

"Yes!" With that, the official turned and left. Not long after, the official left the county office, mounted his fast horse and galloped towards the city gate.

The next day, Wen Bin woke up from his sleep, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, it turned out that Fu Xuelan was not standing in front of the bed with clothes in her hands as before. After discovering this situation, Wen Bin sat up suddenly, then lifted the brocade jacket and stepped off the bed.

Wen Bin walked a few steps before he found Fu Xuelan's shadow. At this time, Fu Xuelan was lying in front of the bookcase, with her head resting on several account books, and was sleeping deeply. The long eyelashes swayed slightly, and a faint flush appeared on the fair cheeks, and the graceful posture made people's hearts move.

Wen Bin tiptoed to the bookcase, not daring to disturb Fu Xuelan's sweet dream. He picked up an account book and flipped through it. These account books were sent by Captain Zheng last night, and there are 5 large boxes!

Perhaps disturbed by the rustling sound of flipping books, Fu Xuelan woke up from her sleep, and an unusually soft voice came from her lips.

"Hmm...... Hey! It's dawn. Yes! Son? ”

Fu Xuelan sat up straight, stretched her waist, and then turned her head slightly, and then Wen Bin's figure appeared in her eyes. After an instant, Fu Xuelan was shocked, and quickly stood up, suddenly her legs were numb, and her body fell forward uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Wen Bin hurriedly supported Fu Xuelan and asked anxiously, "Xuelan!" You okay? ”

Fu Xuelan quickly stood up with Wen Bin's support, and then said shyly: "No...... It's okay! Yes! The slave family overslept! After a while, the slave family changed the clothes for the son. ”

After speaking, Fu Xuelan prepared to leave. At this moment, Wen Bin grabbed her and said apologetically: "Xuelan, I have hands and feet, and I will change my clothes in a while." Didn't you sleep last night? ”

"Childe is worried every day, and the slave family wants to share the worries for Childe! These years in and out of the account book is the best breakthrough, the slave family wants to find out the clue from it, in order to solve the dilemma of the son! ”

"Then you don't have to stay up all night, just do it during the day!"

"Hee-hee! I didn't stay up all night, so why don't you just take a nap! Childe, the slave family is the strongest shadow guard! As she spoke, Fu Xuelan leaned in front of Wen Bin, attached it to the latter's ear, and said with a low smile.

"That's right! Right, right! You are the strongest! ”

Subsequently, at Fu Xuelan's insistence, she still changed Wen Bin's clothes. After Wen Bin and Fu Xuelan had breakfast, the two came to the bookcase and checked the account books together.

Half an hour later, Zeng Chen came to the inner room, and as soon as he stepped into the room, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said respectfully: "Wenhou! The heads of the big families have all come to the county office, I don't know when Wenhou will go? ”

"Good! Go now! Zeng Chen, lead the way in front! ”

"Yes!"

At this time, Wen Bin turned his head to look at Fu Xuelan, and after a little thought, he said: "Xuelan, you don't have to go with me, just check the account books here." If you're sleepy, get some rest! ”

"Understood! The slave family will do their best! ”

"Hey! Why just listen to the previous sentence, the latter sentence is the point! You! Wen Bin shook his head and said depressedly.

"Hee-hee! The slave family knows! Childe, go ahead! I wish Childe a victory! ”

With Fu Xuelan's urging, Wen Bin shook his head and left the inner room, walking towards the distance with Zeng Chen. After a stick of incense, Wen Bin arrived in the conference hall, and when he walked into the hall, looking at it, the strange scene made Wen Bin stand on the spot.

Big family? Looking at the scene in front of him, this question quietly floated in Wen Bin's heart. If it weren't for the ruddy faces of the people in front of him, Wen Bin would have thought that he had come to the gathering place of the victims.

"What do you mean by waiting! Do you want to use this to prove that you have no money? Wen Bin stood at the door, a pair of tiger eyes swept by, and the anger on his body was enough to make everyone's hearts palpitate!

"Wen Hou is angry! That's not what the grass people intended! Out of the crowd came an old man, dressed plainly, old, but in good spirits.

"Oh! Why is that? Wen Bin was furious, glared at the old man, and said coldly.

"Returning to Wenhou! Changyun County suffered a heavy flood, and there were many people affected by the disaster, and the people were struggling to make a living. I couldn't wait until I could continue to wear brocade clothes, so I took off my silk and satin and put on coarse linen clothes! ”

"Humph! Could it be that he was afraid of being hated by the hungry people, so he changed into coarse linen clothes? Hatred has accumulated to a point where it is enough to take risks! ”

"This ...... That's one of the reasons! Wenhou Mingjian! The old man blushed and stammered.

Wen Bin didn't reply, walked to the center of the hall, glanced around, and everywhere he looked, everyone stood with their hands down, with a respectful look on their faces.

The hall was so quiet that all eyes converged on Wen Bin's body, and at this moment, Wen Bin asked, "Who are the grain merchants in Changyun County?" ”
