On 15 June, Wu Shigong went to the yamen and showed his face, and after asking Xu Yimu to take care of the yamen of the Soldiers and Horses Division for the time being, he hurriedly rushed to the entrance of the vegetable market outside the Xuanwu Gate with several temporary teams of 100 households participating in military training. Because the entrance of the vegetable market is a place to kill heads, in order to take care of the onlookers, the place is relatively spacious. Wu Shigong had already made an appointment with President Lin of the carriage and horse shop to meet the requisitioned carriages in that place.

But before they arrived at the entrance of the vegetable market, the crowd was already crowded. Relying on the opening of the soldiers, Wu Shigong finally rushed to the entrance of the vegetable market, and saw President Lin, who was sweating profusely, before squeezing over. President Lin told Wu Shigong that the 1,200 carriages of the carriage and horse shop were ready, but now there were too many people at the entrance of the vegetable market to drive over.

How can there be so many people in the vegetable market? Wu Shigong was a little strange. At this time, another military attache squeezed in from outside. The military attache was sent by Xue Lian, and he told Wu Shigong that those people were laborers recruited from the disaster victims. It turned out that Xue Lian recruited more than 6,000 laborers from among the disaster victims, and in order to take care of his son-in-law, he sent them to Nancheng. These more than 6,000 people are crowded, and it is not a sea of people. There was no way, so Wu Shigong ordered all the laborers to start grouping and cooperating with the carriages and horses to start cleaning up the rubble.

But not long after the grouping, the problem came again, those laborers were still bare-handed. Not necessarily let them clean up the rubble with their hands. So, Wu Shigong sent a few more soldiers to escort Wang Baihu and Shumo to the shops where ropes, sacks, shovels and flat poles were stored to requisition. Wu Shigong told them that the requisitioned materials should be opened in white slips, and the quantity and price of the requisitioned materials should be written on the white slips, and the official seal of the Terracotta Division should be stamped on them. In the future, let these shops go to the Terracotta Division to receive the silver with this white slip.

Because that day, Xue Lian had already told Wu Shigong about the political significance of this disaster relief, so Wu Shigong was willing to spend some money this time and help his father-in-law stabilize his position.

It didn't take long for me to be so busy, and it was time for lunch. Xue Lian sent people to bring dry food and water to these laborers. It seems that Xue Lian has spared no expense in order to ensure the physical strength of these laborers. Then, food was distributed, tools were distributed, and even temporary toilets were built to solve the three needs of these laborers. Wu Shigong couldn't help but shake his head, he arranged so many 6,000 people, and he was very busy, so those ancient generals, with 100,000 or 100,000 troops, were they not busy and dizzy?

By the afternoon, a small part of the shop had been cleared, and the craftsmen of the Ministry of Works, who were waiting on the sidelines, had already prepared the building materials. On the vacant land that had been cleared of the ruins, the construction of the first house began according to the plan.

Unexpectedly, when the first brick was put down, all the workers and onlookers were thunderous with joy. These victims have been in the grass huts for more than a month in the harsh environment and the sewage flow, and now they see the hope of living in a new house, and the joy is absolutely genuine. Seeing the happiness of the disaster victims, Wu Shigong's heart was of course full of pleasure after doing good deeds. Although his good deeds are just a by-product of his money. At this time, an old man came to Wu Shigong and knelt down and kowtowed, and thanked Wu Shigong for his kindness. This made Wu Shigong also a little moved. The requirements of the common people in our country are indeed not high, as long as the government does a little bit for them.

At this time, Wu Shigong's head suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he saw that only Zhou Xun, a temporary hundred households, was left by his side, so he called Zhou Xun over and asked him to go to the Terracotta Division, and asked Xu Yimu to bring all the literacy documents of the Terracotta Division. Moreover, he also selected the literate soldiers around him.

After Xu Yimu arrived with the papers, Wu Shigong arranged for them to say: "You all bring paper and pencils, go to these victims, and record all the words they want to be grateful to the emperor." Remember: you must record everything that the victims say, word for word. No changes are permitted. After that, write on a piece of paper the address and name of the victim who spoke these words. Zuihou sign the name of your recorder so that it can be checked. ”

All the personnel accepted Wu Shigong's orders. They quickly recorded several such thanksgiving letters, and Wu Shigong hurriedly sent people to deliver these thanksgiving letters to Xue Lian. Xue Lian saw it and immediately discovered the huge effect of these thanksgiving letters, on the one hand, he sent these thanksgiving letters to Wei Zhongxian, and on the other hand, Xue Lian also sent all the documents around him to learn from his son-in-law Wu Shigong and go to the victims to record.

After Wei Zhongxian got these thanksgiving letters, he was simply stunned. Think about it: if you put these two things in front of the emperor. One is to scold Wei Zhongxian and Xue Lian, and some of them reflect the impeachment of the emperor with unknown people; The other is a letter of gratitude like "My old man has lived for so many years, and I have never seen the emperor who cares so much about our people......". Moreover, on these thanksgiving letters, there is also the information of the person who said this and the name of the recorder, and I am not afraid that the emperor will review it. There are not just one such thanksgiving letters, but thousands. What do you think the emperor would think? Wei Zhongxian immediately decided to make good use of this weapon, and at the right time, to give the Donglin Party civil officials the most painful blow.

Xue Lian saw that Wu Shigong was arranging in an orderly manner, so he put pressure on Wu Shigong. After passing Wei Zhongxian's consent, Xue Lian officially appointed Wu Shigong as the person in charge of the disposal of the ruins. On the first day of cleaning up the ruins, Wu Shigong was very busy. When I returned to Xuefu, I was exhausted, and after dinner, I fell asleep. Xue Yufei was a little distressed and a little happy when he saw it. This is probably the case for every woman who sees her husband busy doing his business.

The person who sent charcoal in the snow finally came, and Zhang Kequan, the brother of Zhang Kehua's master next to Xue Lian, finally appeared as Wu Shigong's master. That Zhang Kequan's ability to do things is quite high, and after dealing with the affairs of cleaning up the ruins with Wu Shigong for two or three days, he quickly got started. This made Wu Shigong very happy. Moreover, Wu Shigong himself has also greatly tempered and improved his ability to organize large-scale activities through this organizational work.

After handing over everything in hand to Master Zhang Kequan, Wu Shigong finally relaxed and came to inspect the site of cleaning up the ruins. He first inspected his shop in ruins, of course. I also saw the shopkeeper Zheng waiting by the ruins. But there wasn't much cloth that the cloth shop rescued. Wu Shigong took care of those soldiers and returned all these cloths to the shopkeeper Zheng, which was more or less his own heart.

Wu Shigong remembered that Sun Chengxiu was also a victim of the disaster, so he rushed there again. Sure enough, I saw Sun Chengxiu. However, to Wu Shigong's surprise, Sun Chengxiu was accompanied by a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. It turned out that in just a few days, Sun Chengxiu married a daughter-in-law from the daughter of a disaster-stricken family. The old cow eats the tender grass! Wu Shigong was secretly amused in his heart. After Sun Chengxiu introduced the two parties, the little girl saluted Wu Shigong and said, "Uncle is fine." This makes Wu Shigong a little strange, he is about the same age as the little girl, how can he call himself an uncle? Then I reacted, it turned out that this little girl was calling "little uncle" "uncle".

Wu Shigong blamed Sun Chengxiu and said: Why don't you come to call yourself a good friend for such a big event as getting married. Sun Chengxiu defended: He had already come to call, but the porter of the Xue Mansion told him that Wu Shigong was busy cleaning up the ruins these days, so he was not available. In order not to disturb Wu Shigong to do business, Sun Chengxiu decided to make up for Wu Shigong in the future.

Sun Chengxiu was indeed unlucky, and Zuihou did not find the 1,200 taels of silver buried in the ruins. Wu Shigong was also busy inspecting other places, and the two made an appointment, and after Wu Shigong went to visit Sun Chengxiu when he was free, the two also said goodbye.

During the following rounds, the soldiers and soldiers who were making a fortune saw the arrival of their beloved Commander Wu and offered their gifts one after another. Wu Shigong also accepted the kindness of these soldiers with a smile all the time. It was the gift from Na Hefei that made Wu Shigong a little crying and laughing. At that time, He Fei and the others happened to find some unbroken porcelain in a porcelain shop. Na Hefei snatched one of the most beautifully patterned and largest teapots and offered it to his master. The teapot was so big that the spout could fit into a baby's arm. Wu Shigong took a closer look, isn't this a night pot!?

After being busy for a few more days, Wu Shigong saw that everything was on the right track, so he sent people to meet Hu Ming of the 100 households in Dongchang and Li Pengfei of the 1000 households of Jinyiwei, and notified the big leaders of all the gangs in Nancheng to get together. Wu Shigong decided that it was time to teach the big leaders of these gangs a lesson.
