When they came back from Fucheng, Mingcheng, Wulang and others also brought back the Mid-Autumn Festival gift that Boss Luo asked them to send to them by the way.

The steward of the convoy who came to give the Boxing gift was still the same steward Li who had already come once before, and he brought the convoy all the way from northern Hebei, and the more displaced people came on this way.

If it weren't for the fact that the Ming family was in the provincial capital, and they also brought a dozen or so dart masters to follow them, Steward Li would have wanted to temporarily hire a team of dart masters to escort the convoy to Fuxing County.

“... The second uncle entrusted Steward Li to help raise cotton and coarse cloth, which will not be in winter for a while, and the second uncle is worried that those displaced people who want to stay in Fuxing County and settle down will not be able to live after the winter. ”

After the festive atmosphere of the Ming family dissipated, Ming Xu Tete came to the Yu family and delivered news to Yu Jiayan and Mingyue.

Yu Jiayan was not surprised by his old father-in-law's behavior, and Mingyue directly asked Ming Xu if his family was still short of money.

Ming Xu waved his hand again and again, "The harvest on the Zhuangzi has all come down, and the rent of several houses and shops in the family should be able to be collected in two months. ”

Mingyue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this, but Yu Jiayan forced a thousand taels into his arms when Ming Xu left.

Ming Xu refused to no avail, and he also knew that Mingyue's newly opened dim sum shop was very profitable, and basically had two or three hundred taels of silver every month, so he finally returned to his house with a silver ticket.

In late September, Steward Li of Boss Luo's family brought the batch of coarse cloth and cotton ordered by Mingcheng to the Ming family.

A full twenty mule carts loaded with coarse cloth and cotton swept into Fuxing County under the escort of the dart masters.

Mingcheng asked Steward Lin to count the number, settle the final payment, and send the things to the county government to hand over to Gu Zhixian, while he himself personally prepared two thank-you gifts for Boss Luo and Steward Li.

As for Steward Li and the others, who were sleeping all the way, Ming Xu personally took them to the empty house in the alley next door.

The cooks of the Ming family and the Yu family went into battle together, and all kinds of delicious flowing water were sent into that house.

The rough envoy and the little maid who were sent by Ming Xu to take care of the daily life of Steward Li and others prepared hot tea, hot water, snacks and fruit plates for the guests as quickly as possible.

Besides, Gu Zhixian, Leng Buding received this large batch of coarse cloth and cotton from the Ming family, and he was stunned for a long time before he suddenly came back to his senses.

Of course, after coming back to his senses, Gu Zhixian's heart was only filled with joy and admiration.

Although the drought has passed, many of the displaced people do not want to travel long distances to return to their hometowns.

They were not rich people in their hometown, otherwise they would not have been forced to leave their homeland when the drought came.

There is no land, no shops, no money, except for two dilapidated houses that can shelter from the wind and rain, these people can be said to have no assets in their hometown.

In this case, even if they return to their hometown, the family will not rely on them to live peacefully until the beginning of spring next year.

On the contrary, if they stay in Fuxing County, the parents of Fuxing County will do everything possible to accommodate them.

Whether the government distributes relief food to them or allows them to exchange their labor for rations, they can at least live in peace and security in this place that has ushered in the biggest turning point in their lives.

As for where they lived, there were a large number of thatched houses built by themselves in the eastern suburbs of the county.

Now that most of the displaced people have returned to their hometowns, the rest of these people, as long as they build a random fence in the eastern suburbs and put a few thatched huts in the courtyard, won't their family have a place to live?

They can even use the time before the freeze to cut grass and collect firewood in the nearby mountains, which can be kept for heating in the winter, or they can also plant some radishes and cabbage on the wasteland they have reclaimed before to store.

These victims, who were very confident in the officials of Fuxing County, led by Gu Zhi County, took root in the eastern suburbs of the county.

And Gu Zhixian really did not live up to the trust of these disaster victims, not only did his two masters go to the eastern suburbs of the county every once in a while to check the living conditions of those disaster victims, but even he himself has been racking his brains and thinking about tea and dinner for those disaster victims.

Although the drought has passed, the next few days will not be easy for those affected.

If they didn't have nothing, how could they leave their hometown and come to Fuxing County to seek a chance to survive?

But since they have nothing left, the next harsh winter will inevitably become a life-and-death problem for them.

In addition to calling on the wealthy squires in the county to donate grain, soup kitchens, and clothes, Gu Zhi County also wanted to find a few opportunities to earn money for those disaster victims.

It's just that he found several wealthy squires in Fuxing County one after another, but the other party refused to hire the homeless people with the same aspirations.

They are afraid that these homeless people who do not know their roots will bring unforeseen disasters or troubles to their Zhuangzi and shops.

So in the past half a month, although Gu Zhixian has met with the men in charge of eight families, he is very depressed and has not been able to get even a job opportunity for these homeless people.

On the contrary, every family donated some food and used clothes.

Gu Zhixian is completely out of recruitment, after all, he can't force the local squires to hire homeless people.

Just when he sighed for a long time, pulled his beard and beat his chest with all kinds of sorrows, the Ming family sent someone to send him coarse cloth and cotton.

Seeing the long line of carriages parked outside the county office, Gu Zhixian couldn't hold back and gasped directly.

Hearing Steward Lin say that this was the cotton and coarse cloth donated by the Ming family and the Yu family to the victims, Gu Zhixian was so happy that he almost didn't jump on the spot.

Unlike the rich families he invited to "talk" before, the Ming family and the Yu family really made a bloody investment.

They didn't look at the face of him, the magistrate, but really did their best to help the victims.

Gu Zhixian's throat was hot, he blinked twice vigorously, and blinked back the tears that moved him.

"Go back and tell your uncle, just say that I asked him to come to me with Jiayan in the future." After leaving such a sentence for Steward Lin, Gu Zhixian took Master Wei, the county officer, and a team of officials, and the Ming family who were in charge of driving the car to the disaster victim settlement area in the eastern suburbs of the county.

On the way, Master Wei quickly calculated the amount of coarse cloth and cotton that each victim could get, and when he arrived at the place, he and the county lord sat behind the wooden tables that the officials had temporarily moved.

The two were responsible for registering and making the records, and the officials were responsible for distributing cotton and coarse cloth to the victims according to the amount calculated by Master Wei.
