Chapter 187: Drought

Xuan Ye asked people to put away the chessboard on the table, "This matter is far from enough to rely on the ability of you and me, I have already given these things to the emperor, but they are sold in batches layer by layer, I don't know how long it will take, what I am most worried about now is that the people will riot." ”

This matter has been disturbing him for a long time, and he has even found some local officials to discuss a solution for several days, but after such a long time, there is still no good solution to it. If this continues, I'm afraid that Dongcheng will really become a dead man's city that no one cares about.

Xu Tiantian sat opposite Xuanye, and when she saw the flowers in this pot that had already withered, she felt indignant when she thought of these things.

"What about Zhao Xian? When something like this happens, it's not what you want to see. As the city lord, Zhao Xian always has to find a way to solve these things, right? ”

She is the county lord of the emperor, although no one takes her seriously, but she really wants to solve problems for Xuanye.

Zhao Xian always likes to have something to do when he has nothing to do on weekdays, and if he has nothing to do, he will make a stumbling block for Xuan Ye, or threaten her, but now that something has really happened, he has become a turtle with a shrunken head, and he doesn't say a word like a dumb person.

Xuan Ye hooked the corners of his lips and sneered, "Tiantian, do you know? The more natural disasters there are, the more these people reap the benefits. I have asked some local officials to open a warehouse for grain relief, but I don't know how many pests in the court are in it. ”

Xu Tiantian's eyes widened, some corrupt officials always exist at any time, not to mention that the current management system is not perfect.

But these grains were all sent down from the court and allocated from the treasury to save the lives of these people, how could they really dare to do these things against their will with their conscience, and were they not afraid that someone would come to them to ask for their lives when they returned from their dreams at midnight?

"But this is the life-saving food that the court gave to the people, could it be that they dare to be greedy?"

Xuan Ye's eyes were as deep as the dark night sky, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking, "These people never care about the lives of the people, they only care about how they are." In that case, don't blame the king for being ruthless and careful with them, they also have to ask for a black gauze hat. ”

Xu Tiantian nodded, she knew that Xuan Ye was the most jealous and hateful, although he was born in the royal family, but there was no arrogance in the royal family, he was just a fist for the people.

"But it's not a way to go on like this, not to mention that Dongcheng is originally Haoyu, but it just happens that there has been no rain this year, even if it rains the most, it's only four or five rains a year......

In the past, Xu Tiantian didn't know about this passbook, but she had lived for such a period of time, and she had figured out some rules, although it often snowed in this place in winter, but it rarely rained in summer.

Xuan Ye seemed to have thought of something, "So if you want the people here to be rich, you must make use of your strengths and avoid your weaknesses!" ”

Xu Tiantian knew that now was not a good time to train on these issues, so she nodded and didn't continue to bother him.

The next day, the guys in Xu Tiantian's shop hurriedly greeted Xu Tiantian after seeing him, looking at the beggars outside, for fear that he would lose this errand like them.

"Boss, you can be regarded as here, look at these people on the street now, they are wearing tatters, and even eating a steamed bun is a luxury, who will come to our store again? If this continues, won't our business be yellow? ”

Xu Tiantian glanced at the guys in the store, everyone's faces were not very good, smiled lightly, and patted Xiaoxi's shoulder.

These people have followed her from the beginning, even if there is no merit, there is hard work, she Xu Tiantian is not the kind of ungrateful person, these people did not leave when it was the most difficult time in this store, and now when it comes to their most difficult time, she will naturally not give up on them easily.

"It's a natural disaster, and they don't want it. I know what you're worried about, don't worry, as long as I have a bite to eat, you won't fall to this point. Anyway, there are no more people in our store, and there are still a lot of things left in our store, so you can give them these things with me! ”

The only thing that still has some rich things now, except for the rice grain store, is probably in their restaurants. But now people don't have any extra money to spend on some of the happy food in the old building, and they would rather throw it away than give it to the beggars on the road.

Although Xu Tiantian was angry, she didn't say much, the only thing she could do was not to waste all the food in her store.

Xiaoxi took the account book in his hand and handed it to Xu Tiantian, looking at the people outside who were not their hard-hearted, in such an unpeaceful time, if they wanted to be a kind person, the cost was too high. What's more, the store opposite has been targeting them before, and they have also lost a lot of money, and until now, they have just earned back the ones that lost money before.

"But the boss, we'll lose a lot of money in this way."

Xu Tiantian glanced at those people and already started to act, "But we have been putting it like this, no one comes to consume, and in the end, it will not be broken, rather than wasting it like that, it is better to give it to these people who need it more, maybe it can save people's lives." ”

Fortunately, most of the seafood in the store is cooked, and although it is a little hot in summer, it is relatively easy to store with a lot of salt and chili, and there is nothing bad until now.

Those people had to have some truth when they heard what Xu Tiantian said, nodded and began to help, and after a while, there was a long white table in front of Xu Tiantian's store, Xu Tiantian put all the things for self-service on the table, and asked the people in the store to take some late.

After arranging all the things, Xu Tiantian looked at those people and cleared her throat and spoke, "Everyone, if today's disasters and man-made disasters are rushed together, it has not rained in our Dongcheng for several months, and we all know that everyone's family has been unable to untie the pot, and it has fallen to this place, today I am also doing a good deed, and it just so happens that there are still some things in the store that will be distributed to everyone for nothing, and I hope everyone can tide over the difficulties, and you must not be discouraged." ”

An eldest lady tentatively stepped forward to look at Xu Tiantian and pointed to the things on the table again, with some tiredness in her eyes, "Girl, you really don't want any money?" ”

Xu Tiantian nodded, took two steamed buns, put some seafood in the bowl, handed them to the eldest lady, and asked her to help her sit down, "Auntie, don't worry, you will never charge a penny." Since I opened my shop here, I have seen that everyone has taken care of me, and I can't say anything else, but I feel really sad to see everyone suffering like this, I don't have much, the only thing I can do is to let everyone have a full meal. ”

After hearing Xu Tiantian say this, everyone rushed over one after another, lined up in a long line, and no one went to grab it.

Although Zhao Xian is the city lord in Dongcheng, he has always been calculating for his own interests, no matter what happens, he has never cared about the feelings of the people they live in at the bottom, and now there is finally someone who is willing to help them, even if they can only eat a full meal, they can last for a while.

Xiaoxi looked at the store and seemed to be too busy, holding the spoon in his hand and arranging everyone, "Don't worry, don't worry, everyone will go inside." ”

A middle-aged man saw Xu Tiantian can't help it, and his voice was a little choked up for a while.

"The girl is really a living bodhisattva in this village, if there is no girl, I am afraid that this time and a half, we all don't know what to do, on the streets, it won't be long before there will be corpses all over the field."

Xu Tiantian just felt a little uncomfortable looking at so many people on the street who had no food in her heart, but now that so many people thanked her in turn, she was a little embarrassed.

"Tiantian, this is?"

Shen Qi told Xuan Ye that there were many people gathered in Xu Tiantian's store, Xuan Ye's eyelids jumped, and then he immediately put down the things he was doing and rushed over, but he felt that many people were lining up in an orderly manner, and everyone had a certain amount of food in their hands.

"Didn't you say that there were a lot of corrupt officials and corrupt officials who sent out the disaster relief food sent by the imperial court, I was originally a woman, and I didn't know anything about these national affairs, and these things were left to you to deal with. Leave the people's affairs to me! ”

She has been paying attention to Xuan Ye in the palace for a long time, but the light in the study has been on, and he probably hasn't slept well for these things.

Xu Tiantian didn't know in her heart, if she could, she didn't want to drag him back, even if he wanted to do it, the only thing she could do was to help him pave the way, even if she couldn't do anything, she could let him have no worries.

Xuan Ye nodded, a pair of eyes always looked at Xu Tiantian faintly, and suddenly there was an inexplicable feeling in his heart, for the first time, a woman told him that she could help him. It turns out that there are always people in this world who care about him so much!

Xuan Ye smiled and took the spoon in Xu Tiantian's hand, "I'll help you." ”

Li Xiaohui looked at Xu Tiantian from the side, her nose was sour, "Okay, you Tiantian, you don't even bring me with you to do such a good thing, do you still regard me as your best friend?" ”
