"Yesterday, we counted that a total of 80,000 catties of corn, 40,000 catties of soybeans, and 60,000 catties of soybeans were consumed. The number of victims is about 167,000 people, but the number is rising every day, and it is estimated that the number of victims entrenched around Jiuquan Town today may exceed 200,000.

The few rice shops in the town, and the squires of the various villages, were willing to sell us a lot of grain, and only a quarter were willing to sell it at a low price. Among them, the Zhao family is the largest household with the most grain within a radius of hundreds of miles from Jiuquan Town, and their family has more than 10 million catties of grain, and the Zhao family insists on buying it at the current price before they are willing to sell the grain in their hands. ”

Early the next morning, Wang Xu took Liu Quan and came to the granary in the town again.

There is still a lot of food in the granary, but no amount is enough, and it is only a drop in the bucket compared to the victims.

Wang Xu calculated that the sum of the grain in the entire Jiuquan Town would at most last two months for millions of victims, and it would definitely not survive the beginning of spring next year.

In addition to collecting grain, the imperial court must also come forward to plug the last short board of Jiuquan Town.

Listening to Liu Quan's report, Wang Xu couldn't help but sigh secretly, and said: "The matter of grain has to be talked about again, how low and low the price of grain can be, and it is absolutely impossible to hold high grain prices, otherwise we will not be able to maintain it for even two months." In addition, how did you do to have you gather famous people from various disaster relief sites to balance the victims with them? ”

"There are 32 disaster relief sites, on average, there are seven or eight thousand people in each disaster relief site, and I have already arranged for the victims of each disaster relief point to select three highly respected people to assist in disaster relief with their respective areas as the center, and then set up their own township protection groups to be responsible for maintaining the order of disaster relief points.

This strategy has been influenced by many people and has been implemented in various disaster relief sites. However, we still found a lot of problems, such as the fact that there are too many people, it is impossible for everyone to know each other, and in our plan, one person has a bowl of porridge a day, and a nest head, although they can't eat enough, but they can not let people starve to death.

Now, however, some people will queue up after receiving the porridge, and a few people can queue up two or three times, and there is no good way to deal with it.

I discussed with a few stewards, thinking that it was possible to raise one nest head to two, and then let these people go to line up after receiving the porridge and build the road together?

Although this will cause additional food expenses, it will not leave the victims with nothing to eat, and it can be regarded as making the best use of resources.

In addition, some of the victims brought their families here, and they didn't plan to go back in the spring, so they asked me if they could be tenant farmers for our family. Some people have very good conditions, they are good dealers, and the asking price is very low, and a few people are twenty years of long deeds, and I think it's a good thing.

In addition, the housing of the victims is also a big problem, many trees in the nearby forest have been cut down, and there is a big construction meaning, should we come forward to help plan one or two? ”

In all directions, Liu Quan said a lot of things, covering all aspects.

Wang Xu listened very carefully, and replied after a while: "The question of residence, this cannot be delayed." Our disaster relief sites are all set up in villages and towns, so that these people can settle down nearby, and if they don't want to leave, they can move to the nearest place.

As for the rest, just look at the arrangement, don't let the victims be too idle, and don't let them work too tired, if we call the victims as hard labor, we can't afford to supply food. ”

The more work you do, the more you eat, this is inevitable.

The Wang family does not have so much food, so it is necessary to master a degree of work and food for the victims.

"Yes, young master, I'll arrange it."

After Liu Quan said this, he thought of another question and hesitated: "Young master, there is another matter, I don't know how to say it." ”

Wang Xu raised his head slightly, Liu Quan said this, he looked at it like this, and said softly: "Let's talk about it." ”

"We are helping the victims, and it is a storm, but some villagers say..."

Liu Quan looked left and right, lowered his voice and said: "Some people say that we have food for the disaster victims to eat, why don't you give them food, the villagers in the big hometown, the Wang family is turning out with an elbow." Yesterday, during the disaster relief, I found that some villagers were mixed in the ranks of the victims and went to receive relief just like the victims. ”

After all, the Wang family is the Wang family of Jiuquan Town, and the widows are not even, and when they see that the victims have free food to eat, naturally some villagers look at it with hot eyes.

No matter how these people rush, they are all from the villagers.

They didn't understand the big truth, and they didn't want to hear it, so they recognized a dead reason, the Wang family had food for the disaster victims, so they should give it to them.

Yesterday was the first day of soup kitchen, and there were still few people who went, and in the next few days, I am afraid that the Wang family would not only have to support the victims, but also the people of ten miles and eight towns.

"This is a problem, after all, the victims of the disaster are flowing water, and after the disaster, the water will flow away, but these villagers are different, the Wang family still has to deal with them, and it is impossible to cut off their own foundation."

Wang Xu closed his eyes and thought about countermeasures.

People who like to take advantage of small advantages will not be less throughout the ages, otherwise in modern times, the natural spring water in a certain place will not become a water point for uncles and aunts.

How can this be stopped?

In the ten miles and eight townships around Jiuquan Town, the people are not short of food, and coming to the soup soup is purely rubbing rice.

Whether it's for the reputation of the Wang family or something else, you have to find a way to make these people leave consciously, and forcibly driving them away will definitely not work.

After thinking about it again and again, a countermeasure flashed in Wang Xu's mind.

In the TV series "Iron Tooth and Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan", there was a locust plague in Shandong, and He Shen and Ji Xiaolan went to the disaster relief, and they encountered people who were not victims of the disaster, pretending to be victims to receive food.

In the plot, Ji Xiaolan was helpless about this matter, whether it was reasoning or knowing it, it had little effect in the end, and it couldn't withstand the greed of these people.

He Shen, but thought of a way to do it once and for all.

Those who are not victims of the disaster come to receive relief food in order to take advantage.

He Shen mixed sand into the porridge, and the leaves and grass roots into the nest, and the victims should eat as they should, but the people who had surplus food at home never came.

Although this method cannot eliminate all the people and do not take advantage of them, it can affect the majority of people.

After all, if the family has surplus food and does not have to worry about eating and drinking, who would drink porridge full of sand and eat nests mixed with tree bark and grass roots.

Even if there are such people, they are relatively rare misers, or people who are really in difficulty, and this method corresponds to the current situation.

After explaining the strategy, Liu Quan was overjoyed and left happily.

Wang Xu was about to follow down to take a look, but before he could leave, someone found him.

It was none other than Wumao yesterday, the young man named Ning Qing.

Ning Qing looked seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a white-washed robe, and said, "Young Master of the Wang family, I want to follow you!" ”

"Follow me, what?"

Wang Xu pretended not to know, and looked Ning Qing up and down.

Ning Qing obviously came prepared, and said earnestly: "Young Master Wang, I have observed, you are not the young master of the landlord family in those fish and meat towns, you are a good person who really wants to do things for the disaster victims. I'm going to work with you to help you help the victims and keep more people alive. ”

Wang Xu was noncommittal, neither agreed nor objected, but looked at the person behind Ning Qing.

Behind Ning Qing, there was also the little Lori I saw yesterday, the little Lori looked thirteen or fourteen years old, with a heroic spirit on her body, giving people a sense of indistinguishability between male and female, making people feel like they wanted to conquer and invade at a glance.

Sensing Wang Xu's gaze, Ning Qing quietly blocked the little Lori.

Wang Xu didn't care about this, but said, "What's your name?" ”

"She..."

"My name is Xiuniang."

Without waiting for Ning Qing to speak, Xiuniang took the initiative to speak, a pair of big eyes that could speak, and winked at Wang Xu.

Wang Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, and the first feeling that the embroidery lady gave him was that he was not a peaceful person.

In ancient times, marriage at the age of thirteen or fourteen abounded, and this embroidery girl was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
