Chapter 62 There is a knack for putting grain and cooking porridge
The group walked slowly towards the city, and Xue Mengzhuo introduced everyone to Xiao Junzhi. Genius remembers the first three or five in a second
Seeing Jingguang, Xiao Junzhi smiled, pointed at him and said, "I have met once, Lord Jingguangjing, Director Yi's right-hand man." There are floods every year in the southern state capital, thanks to the mediation of Lord Jing. Master Jing is very experienced in water control, and the saint is very accurate in employing people. ”
Jingguang has only seen the prince once, and seeing that he can accurately recognize himself and call out his name, he can't help but admire in his heart, his eloquence is weak, thanks to the joint efforts of his colleagues.
Xiao Junzhi nodded, Lord Dao was modest, looked at Wu Qingliu next to him and said, "Lord Wu, you are now taking over Wang Bu, which shows that the Holy Lord attaches great importance to you." ”
Wu Qingliu hurriedly said, "The Holy Lord asked the minister to manage Dingjiang, and the minister was very panicked, for fear of living up to the expectations of the Holy Lord. ”
Jingguang almost wanted to slap him in the face when he heard it, he was afraid of living up to the expectations of the saint and fooling around with the gang of people in Jingzhou every day, and assigned his subordinates to do the disaster relief, he was good, either drinking flower wine or shaking dice, and making Lao Tzu tired like a dog.
Stinky and shameless!
Buqing of the Supervision Department saw the prince looking at him, and immediately said with interest, "Chen Buqing, responsible for the work of the Jingzhou Supervision Department." ”
Xiao Junzhi sighed, "You were transferred from Changzhou, and you were not there when you went to Beijing to report on your work." Can you still get used to Jingzhou again? ”
Bu Qing is busy with habits. How not to get used to it? Jingzhou is like heaven, and Changzhou is like hell in comparison, you can do more and earn less, and you can't do a lot of things. originally thought that it would be difficult for Jingzhou to carry out work, a group of natives, and they did not have a sense of belonging to Jokhang. I didn't expect Xue Mengzhuo to come to trouble, and the expenses of the Supervision Department were taken from Jingzhou Mansion, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas were dungeon, and the jade liquid elixir was elixir.
The capital attached great importance to the disaster this time, and the Department of Civil Affairs and the Department of Water Resources each sent an official down, and the Relief Department, the Pension Department, the Flood Control Department, the Low Finger Office, and the Information Department also sent people to take charge of the disaster relief.
When he was first flooded, Xue Mengzhuo's whole person was blindfolded, like water entering his brain, his brain couldn't function, he couldn't figure it out, and he had a headache when he heard that the disaster relief work was being carried out, but he had to carry it out.
God is pitiful, he is good at eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, not good at work! There has been no flood in Jingzhou for more than 100 years, and there is no precedent and experience to refer to, what should I do? Bite the bullet! He didn't touch the ground for a few days, and he had never been so busy in his forties.
He did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately ordered all the grain in Jingzhou to be collected and given porridge to the victims in batches, and on the first day 5,000 catties of grain was not enough, and on the second day, 8,000 catties of grain only helped three-fifths of the victims, and on the third day, 13,000 catties of grain were used!
Xue Mengzhuo tried his best to relieve the disaster, but he didn't expect the disaster to be under control but deteriorated a little, many Diao people protested that Jingzhou Mansion was greedy for food in the capital so that they could not eat enough, Xue Mengzhuo scolded angrily, Jingzhou has been under the jurisdiction of the Southern Dynasty for decades, I have never seen a grain in the capital, it has only been three days since the embankment broke, and it will take more than half a month for the grain to be transported in the capital, and these Diao people don't use their brains! Dumber than me!
Jing Guang, director of the Relief Division of the Department of Civil Affairs, received his appointment and rushed from the capital to Jingzhou day and night. Seeing Jingguang, Xue Mengzhuo was full of grievances and tears, and he didn't understand why he had made so many efforts, why the disaster was not under control but became more serious.
Jingguang almost wanted to curse when he heard it, this loser! I had heard that Jingzhou was extravagant, but I didn't expect such luxury, I really wouldn't be able to live, and I actually put more than 10,000 catties of grain a day! Jingzhou does not produce grain in the first place, and a while ago the army requisitioned part of the grain, and now the disaster relief is urgent, Xue Mengzhuo is so bad!
Before Xue Mengzhuo finished speaking, Jingguang interrupted him coldly, "Xue Fuyin, with all due respect, if you do this, even if the food in the city runs out, you can't control the disaster." He didn't bother to talk nonsense with Xue Mengzhuo, and immediately deployed, "First, register the disaster victims and separate them by age. Second, from now on, the grain department will put 3,000 catties of grain every day, mix it with sand appropriately, and change the porridge three times a day, and put it at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Third, there are those who do not abide by the order, those who make a noise, the old and the weak are killed on the spot, and the young are filled with troops. ”
Xue Mengzhuo immediately asked puzzledly, "My lord, it's not enough for me to put porridge three times a day, why don't you go against the sky when you put the disaster victims once?" How do you drink porridge mixed with sand? Three thousand catties of food is not enough at all......"
Facing the curious babies chattering around him, Jingguang was too lazy to take care of it, and continued to arrange, "Young and strong, if you are willing to participate in urban reconstruction, you can register at the Jingzhou Office of the Department of Civil Affairs, and you can get two steamed buns a day." By the way, steamed bread needs to be mixed with refined grains and coarse grains. Although the Jingzhou clerk who was quickly taking notes next to him didn't understand what this adult from the capital meant by doing this, especially mixing sand, but seeing that this adult was confident, a sense of admiration arose spontaneously.
Jingguang came to Jingzhou for three days, and the disaster was miraculously controlled, Xue Mengzhuo was particularly impressed, and wanted to help before and after the saddle.
Before Jingguang came, Jingzhou was a mess, rioting from time to time, the public security department kept maintaining stability day and night, as soon as Jingguang came, he immediately threw the pot on Jingguang without hesitation, I wanted to see the jokes of the young people in the capital, but I didn't expect him to not only control the situation, but also carry out the disaster relief work in an orderly manner.
Xue Mengzhuo still asked the doubts that lingered in his heart, Jingguang was busy, Xue Mengzhuo couldn't help, not to mention that he was always in the way, seeing and asking, Jingguang said angrily, "Just eat and don't be hungry!" ”
Xue Mengzhuo thought about it, and five words floated above his head, save food, smart!
Xue Mengzhuo only vaguely understood, but Jingguang didn't bother to explain to him, Jingguang knew quite well that whenever the government gave porridge, those who had food at home also lined up to receive porridge, which seriously increased the burden on the government, and the purpose of mixing sand was to leave the porridge for those who really needed it.
In extraordinary times, every grain is precious.
When the disaster relief work was being carried out in an orderly manner, Nie Lingping took advantage of Jingzhou to provide 50,000 catties of grain and conscript 5,000 soldiers.
Jingguang's face turned blue with anger when he heard it, the disaster in Jingzhou was like fire, and the food was stretched, relying on his careful calculations and hard support, he was looking forward to the stars and the moon and looking forward to the capital to allocate grain, but he didn't expect Nie Lingping to loot.
But he can't refuse, the front line is urgent, and no one can bear the responsibility for delaying the military situation.
Jingzhou does not produce grain, and its self-sufficiency cannot be guaranteed every year, and it has to rely on other state capitals to transport grain. One of the drawbacks of the war in the Southern Dynasties was that the transportation lines were too long, and the transportation costs doubled, so every time the army was conscripted for grain, a fixed-point grain delivery office was set up in the place where the army transited.
Nie Lingping's troops have direct allocation from the Ministry of War, and there is no shortage of food at all, he just wants to be prepared, the more the merrier, Nie Lingping wants to do a good job, doesn't he want to do a good job?
If this disaster relief goes well, he is very likely to take over the position of Director Yi in the next transfer, becoming the youngest director of the Department of Civil Affairs, and even the head of the household department.
Food is related to political achievements, and this stinky and shameless old man must not be allowed to rob it.
Frowning for a moment, Jingguang went directly to the Linjiang Palace.
