Chapter 1080: Lord Qingtian
It was a little late to return to the county seat that night, so Tiankuo only found Wang Tianxiang and Wang Tianlai to discuss it the next day, and told them about it, Wang Tianxiang and Wang Tianlai were very happy.
"It's still my lord and my wife have an idea, this method is really good, since it has been carried out smoothly, we have to arrange this matter quickly, don't worry, my lord, I will do it immediately."
Tiankuo nodded, "This matter must be done as soon as possible, at the moment, the people in other counties have no food to eat, not to mention the Mongolian people, and the border guards are small, I am afraid that something will happen, and we must let the villages step up to complete this matter." ”
These days, Tiankuo and Wang Tianxiang Wang Tianlai are as busy as a spinning top, there are all kinds of things to do every day, the porridge shed in the county town has been open, and the food scavenged from Master Lin can last for a long time, but the situation is not optimistic, if the number of displaced people continues to increase, the people in the countryside will not be able to get food at home, and these foods will have to be distributed.
It is not easy to come up with an effective solution, and it must be implemented as soon as possible, and the same is true for these displaced people in the county, who must let them exchange their own hands for food.
The affairs of the countryside were handed over to Wang Tianxiang and Wang Tianlai, and these displaced people in the county were handed over to Tiankuo, and he went to find Master Zhou, and asked Master Zhou to raise donations as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and let these merchants in the county take out some money and grain.
After Master Zhou became the president of the Chamber of Commerce, he rectified the Chamber of Commerce in this county, and now the atmosphere is much better than when Master Lin was there.
There are a total of six porridge sheds set up in the county, every day at noon and evening, twice soup porridge, can not let all the homeless people eat, but if they run faster, it is not a problem to eat every other day, it is a luxury to eat enough, but at least they will not be starved to death, this is already the limit of what they can do.
When it was time for the porridge to be served at noon, Tiankuo and Siqi went to the largest porridge shed together, looking at the endless procession, the two of them had mixed feelings.
These people were all ragged, yellow-skinned, and I don't know how long they had been hungry.
Holding a broken bowl, I lined up to get rice porridge, and after I got it, I was next to it, and the family drank it together, and there was no one who drank a little.
Some people receive more at home, and they will give a little to others, and in such a difficult time, they can still see everyone watching and helping each other, which is the most touching.
After the porridge was distributed, the official said, "Everyone be quiet, this is the magistrate, and the magistrate has something to tell you when he comes here today, so listen to it." ”
Everyone looked over at this time, and Tiankuo was about to speak, but before he could speak, several old women in front of him knelt down with a plop.
"The eldest lord is a good person, beg the eldest lord not to close the city gate, beg the eldest lord to give porridge, and beg the eldest lord to let the grass people live."
After the front knelt down, the back was like this, a vigorous kowtow, and the sky was busy to stop it.
"Everyone, listen to me, although you are not the people of Lu County, but you are all the people of our country, as an official of the imperial court, I will naturally not watch everyone starve to death, but this year, a large area of drought is drought, Lu County is no exception, what can help everyone is really limited, and I hope you don't mess with the rules, so that the yamen can try to help."
After Tiankuo finished speaking, everyone kowtowed again, "Thank you, master, master Qingtian!" ”
At this time, people like to stay in their hometowns, if they can't stay in their hometowns, how can they be willing to go outside? There is really no food, there is no food anywhere, so I can only come out to ask for food.
Many places with food don't let them in at all, only Lu County has not closed the city gate, and has not driven them, and also arranged a porridge shed soup kitchen, although it is not too many things, but at least it will not be hungry all the time.
Just because the yamen in Lu County did not drive people out, and they were willing to help them, these homeless people were not in chaos, even if no one asked them to do anything, these people themselves did not want to mess with the rules, otherwise they would have to drive them out.
Today, I even saw the magistrate of Lu County, and these people were moved in their hearts, and they felt that no matter how many kowtows were enough, this was simply a life-saving benefactor.
Tiankuo said, "Now the situation is unstable, in the year of famine, I am afraid that the Mongolian people will take advantage of the chaos to grab things, and now the border defense force is weak, if everyone is willing to earn food with their own hands, they will go to the yagong here to sign up, the yamen has its own arrangements, although it can't give you too many things, but it can barely fill your stomach, and the young and strong laborers who are willing can come." ”
As soon as the words fell, many people raised their hands and wanted to sign up, Tiankuo and Siqi nodded, and asked the people below to arrange it, and they watched here for a while and then went home.
When he arrived at home, Tiankuo was still sullen, Siqi grabbed his hand, "Brother Tiankuo, that's all we can do, don't blame yourself too much, this guarding the frontier should have been sent by the imperial court, what does it have to do with you as a magistrate?" We have no choice but to make this decision now, in this way, it can play some role, and it is already the best way to settle these homeless people smoothly, and we can't do anything else. ”
Tiankuo nodded, "Don't worry, sister, what I can figure out is that the current situation, I really don't know how, if the Mongolian people really come in to grab things, how useful can we use if we set a few traps?" It's just a matter of dragging it out. ”
Setting up this trap is more to find a reason for these homeless people, there is a reason to give them food, if the yamen directly gives it, I am afraid that it will be chaotic, if you want to say how much defense it can really play, it is really not likely, but it is better than nothing, so this thing is naturally feasible.
It's already winter now, the weather is extremely cold, those homeless people are all northerners, and the clothes on their bodies are thick, but these days they are sleeping in the open, and their faces are blown out by the wind.
At such a time, there was no movement in the imperial court, and Tiankuo didn't know what it meant to be an official.
In his imagination, being an official means doing things for the people, and the people have demands, so he folds his hands to the court, and the court makes arrangements, so that the people get what they want.
But now it seems that this is not the case at all, did you really choose the right choice to be an official in the scientific examination?
