Chapter 49: The Exiles Enter the City
Gu Jinshu sighed in his eyes, before coming to Hulan County, he had read the information sent back by the spies, which said that Jiang Yuanliu was an ignorant woman with an empty head who had been raised, and she only knew how to run after men all day long.
However, this period of contact allowed Gu Jinshu to see clearly what kind of woman Jiang Yuanliu was, talented and intelligent, kind-hearted, in order for his adoptive father to study medical skills, he learned something in a short period of time.
Now that she can tell such a clever plan, how can such a woman be ignorant, she must have been trying to hide it before.
"Hehe, if the court does something, there will be no need for me and other poor people to think and meditate." Jiang Yuanliu glanced at Gu Jinshu coldly, the noble little marquis has time to do something serious, and it is better to study how to help the homeless than to play with her heart!
"The lady is right." Gu Jinshu said with a smile, as if he didn't hear the mockery in Jiang Yuanliu's tone.
Jiang Chengli couldn't eat anymore, "I have a lot of friends with several wealthy businessmen in the county, I can go and negotiate a charter with them, and I also need the support of the county magistrate, and I can't do bad things with good intentions." ”
Saying that, Jiang Chengli's eyes frequently looked at Gu Jinshu, although he had two friendships with Hu Xianling, but for such a big thing as attracting people into the city, Hu Xianling must not be allowed to do so, only Gu Jinshu's identity can make Hu Xianling relax.
"What my father-in-law said is that the flood is raging and the people are displaced, I am really heartbroken, and I also want to make a little effort, it is better to go with my father-in-law, and I can also help with the work of sitting and keeping accounts." Gu Jinshu said with a gentle smile.
Jiang Chengli was extremely happy, "With the help of Jinshu, you can get twice the result with half the effort!" ”
Jiang Yuanliu was too lazy to look at the two of them pretending, she was now sure that her father knew Gu Jinshu's identity, no wonder she casually pulled someone on the street to marry at that time, and her father agreed so happily.
"Daddy should pay attention to his body, disaster relief is important, your body is more important, I want to use the money in my family to buy a batch of medicinal materials, most of the displaced people are in poor health, and they need to recuperate before they can start work, so as not to increase casualties."
What's more, these homeless people came out of the pile of dead people, and they are likely to carry bacteria and viruses on their bodies, and she must make sure that the homeless people will not cause the plague when they enter the city, otherwise they will not save people, but set themselves on fire!
"It's still Liu Er's thoughtfulness." Jiang Chengli's face was full of pride, and he looked at Gu Jinshu with a smug look.
Gu Jinshu also smiled: "The lady is kind-hearted and thoughtful, how lucky these homeless people are to meet a living bodhisattva like the lady." ”
"I'm just doing what I'm supposed to do, don't put a high hat on me." Jiang Yuanliu's face was slightly red, and he turned his head and ran out.
Gu Jinshu looked at Jiang Yuanliu's back and was distracted, he had always been worried that Jiang Yuanliu was timid and couldn't support big things when he was raised in the poor countryside, so he wanted to let Jiang Yuanliu exercise first.
If Jiang Yuanliu can deal with the entry of the displaced people into the city this time, then he will be able to protect himself when he enters the capital.
The homeless people are more than one day a day, Jiang Yuanliu buys a large number of Atractylodes atractylodes and burns them in the city for fumigation, which is a good way to sterilize and disinfect, eliminate the epidemic and avoid boils, and the ground is also carefully sprinkled with lime.
Jiang Yuanliu cheekily raised food from door to door, "Uncle Wu, we have been old neighbors for many years, half of the rice and grain in the city are planted by the Wu family, such a large piece of land, a lot of people are needed, and the price of employing homeless people is lower than that of scalpers, Uncle Wu doesn't say that my niece has something good to think about you, I thought of you at the first time." ”
Wu Dafu rubbed the walnuts in his hand, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, but his tone was extremely philistine, "Virtuous niece, it's not that I'm stingy, planting crops is hard work, that homeless person doesn't have two taels of meat, what use can it be, but I have been friends with Ling Zun for many years, and the virtuous niece does good deeds, I can't stand idly by, butler, you go to the account room to pay a stone of rice." ”
I have long heard that Wu Dafu is slamming the door, she is just insightful, one stone is only one hundred and twenty catties, and it is not enough for a day.
"Uncle Wu, thank you for your generosity, I will definitely be clear to the county magistrate, Uncle Wu donated a stone of rice!" Jiang Yuanliu made a grateful expression.
Wu Dafu was immediately shocked, and the walnut in his hand also fell to the ground, "Niece Xian, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that the county magistrate personally intervened in the disaster relief? ”
He thought that disaster relief was a delusional dream of a little woman in Jiang Yuanliu, but he didn't expect the county magistrate to know that the rich do not fight with the officials, although he has thousands of acres of fertile land at home, but the county magistrate can ruin his family with a word.
"Naturally, the county magistrate is kind and sympathetic to the displaced people, but the granary in the county is the life food of the people of a county and cannot be used without authorization, so the county magistrate is very sad, and we naturally want to share the worries of the county magistrate."
Wu Dafu immediately said that he would take out fifty stone of rice grain to support the disaster relief, but after Jiang Yuanliu left, he burst into tears.
But it didn't take long for him to discover the magic of disaster relief, and he didn't lose anything about fifty stone of grain.
Jiang Yuanliu set up a soup kitchen shed outside the city gate, and the ingenious thing was that the names of the merchants who donated rice and grain were clearly written on the shop, and those homeless people were grateful to Wu Dafu at the top of the list, and rushed to work in Wu Dafu's fields.
"Master, these homeless people work really hard, they don't cheat at all, and sure enough, as Miss Jiang said, they eat less than cattle and work faster than cows!" The butler looked at the ledger with joy.
Wu Dafu's smiling eyes were left with a slit, "Go and recruit another hundred people, plow the ground in the west of the city deeply, and next year will definitely be a good harvest!" ”
At the beginning, he was as reluctant as Wu Dafu, and the merchants who donated rice and grain because of the face of Hu County's order tasted the sweetness, in order to survive, these homeless people did not dare to be lazy at all, and they didn't need much salary to work hard, as long as they provided two full meals for a nest, they were satisfied.
It's hard to find such cheap labor.
"Doctor Jiang, this is the homeless person who entered the city today, and the county commander instructed me to send it to you for inspection." The official sent the displaced people who entered the city today to Jiang Yuanliu.
Jiang Yuanliu, who was busy in front of a cauldron, greeted the officials, "It just so happens that the soup is boiled, Brother Liu, you can also drink a bowl, which can dry the dampness and strengthen the spleen, dispel the wind and dispel the cold." ”
Jiang Yuanliu served a bowl of hot soup mixed with atractylodes and other important hot soups and handed it to the head of the official officer, this large pot of soup was specially prepared by her to prevent and control the plague.
The hungry homeless man who had walked for a long time salivated and looked at the cauldron in front of him, although the taste was weird, but there were some mixed gnocchi in it, and eating it could quench hunger.
Liu Yongwang couldn't wait to take a sip of the soup, although there was a smell of Chinese medicine, but it was hot all over his body after drinking it, and his body was alive after a busy day.
