Chapter 208: The Government Releases Grain
The medical centers in the county are not idle, and several small stalls for free consultation and medicine will appear on time next to the porridge shed almost every day.
Those who were sick and injured were all treated free of charge.
Then there are several coffin shops in the county, as long as there are dead people outside the city, the young men of the coffin shops will immediately set up a mule cart and transport thin-skinned coffins outside the city.
This is to allow the deceased to be buried as soon as possible, so as to avoid the plague caused by the long-term exposure of the corpses to the sun.
As for who to collect money from, the young men in the coffin shop said that this Gada in the eastern suburbs is not Master Li of the county government, Steward Lin of the Ming family, and Liu Dalang of the Yu family.
As long as they find one of them, they will be able to collect the money from the coffin.
What they didn't know was that the victims were able to get a thin-skinned coffin to bury their loved ones because there was no sign of an outbreak right now.
None of the victims who died died of illness, otherwise Gu Zhi County would have adopted another set of "cremation of corpses" plan.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner, whether it is the locals who came out of Fuxing County, which has been locked down, or the large number of people who have to live in other places because of the famine, everyone's mood is maintained in a relatively stable state.
And this place, which was originally deserted, has also begun to become crowded and lively at this time.
Master Wei, who had been carrying a heart, for fear that Fuxing County would break out due to the influx of people and plagues, finally put the heart back into his stomach when he saw the scene in front of him.
He strode towards Gu Zhixian, who had not returned to the city for three days, and as he walked, the smell of sweet potato porridge, mixed bean porridge, sorghum rice porridge, jade wheat rice porridge, and cabbage and artichoke soup in the porridge shed beside him wafted into his nose, and he even heard a seven or eight-year-old boy coquettish with his mother, "... Shall we still eat Yumai ballast porridge today? We don't have jade wheat rice porridge in our hometown..."
This ordinary and warm scene made Master Wei's eyes red directly, and while trying to calm down, he trotted towards Gu Zhixian who was checking the disaster relief situation everywhere, "Dong Weng! ”
Gu Zhixian turned his head and saw Master Wei who was trotting, he hurriedly turned around and greeted Master Wei, "How are things going?" ”
"Fortunately, I didn't lose my life!" As he spoke, Master Wei took out the official letter he had hidden and handed it to Gu Zhixian.
Gu Zhixian couldn't wait to take it in his hand, and said hello again and again while watching.
To be honest, although many squires and wealthy families in the county have provided food to help the victims, it is still the Ming family and the Yu family who really take the lead.
In addition to the house, shop, and Zhuangzi, these two families are still well kept, and the family's food and silver money are spent like flowing water during this time.
And then there is their Gu family, as a county parent, it is naturally impossible for him to only let the rich squires below contribute money and grain.
After discussing this matter with Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Gu, Gu Zhixian classified most of his family's grain stock, as well as all the new grain produced in his own village, into the pile of disaster relief grain, so that their family can only patronize the grain store every now and then, and make a living by buying grain.
Fortunately, because the defensive measures in Fuxing County are relatively in place, the drought in the fields has been alleviated to a certain extent, so the rise in grain prices is not as exaggerated as in other states and counties, otherwise Mrs. Gu's family resources over the years will be in vain.
***
After Master Wei returned, Gu Zhi County opened a granary generously, and the county government began to distribute relief food to the victims in the name of the government.
The Ming family and the Yu family got the news that on the first day that the government began to distribute relief food, they removed the two porridge sheds that the two families had jointly opened.
Other families in Fuxing County, like the Ming family and the Yu family, cleaned up and removed the porridge shed on the morning when the government opened the warehouse to release grain.
Then the people began to take stock of the accounts and count the grain in unison.
The Ming family is in charge of the inventory, and the Yu family is in charge of the inventory, and the Yu family is responsible for the inventory, Yu Jiayan and Mingyue, the young couple - the main reason is that their family is really thin, and there is no other candidate available at all.
It was only at this time that Mingyue could truly understand the disadvantages of Yu Jiayan having neither elders nor brothers.
As for the usual, they live their quiet little life behind closed doors, Mingyue doesn't know how worry-free and happy they are.
The abacus beads crackled for more than three days, and Yu Jiayan and Mingyue finally finished counting all the accounts during the disaster relief period at home.
“... The coarse grains in our tun have all been emptied, and only about half of the new sweet potatoes, artichokes, and jade wheat have been left this year. Then there is the box of silver tickets that our family saved before, and after this incident, there are only about 20% of the boxes of silver tickets left. ”
Mingyue reported her family background, and Yu Jiayan, who was sitting next to her, looked at the account book and bowed slightly.
In fact, he and Mingyue already knew this situation, and what they were right about the accounts was whether there were errors or omissions in the accounts and whether the accounts were in line with the facts.
Since there are no problems at the moment, then he and Mingyue can rest assured.
"Once back before liberation, this is." Mingyue smiled and sighed, and then thought about opening a dim sum shop.
She has been thinking about this for a long time, if it weren't for this year's drought, her dim sum shop would have been open for more than half a year.
Yu Jiayan saw that she had turned out the "plan" she had written a year ago, and she was immediately interested in helping her come up with ideas.
He felt that what Mingyue said was right, and they really should start thinking about how to make money again.
So the little couple sat together, and you and I discussed the matter of opening a dim sum shop.
Mingyue means that in addition to selling dim sum, their dim sum shop can also appropriately launch some delicious drinks, some delicious dried fruits, preserved fruits, jams, dried fruits, and snacks according to the season.
Yu Jiayan was very interested, he suggested that Mingyue first buy a few mothers-in-law with cooking skills and a few clever little maids, and when she trained people, she would open a shop for all the chores.
Mingyue also planned so, so the young couple began to discuss the decoration style of the shop again.
After the drawings were drawn, Mingyue offered to let Shengping help him go to Sun Ya's house.
Yu Jiayan naturally didn't agree, he personally called Shengping in and asked him to go and pass the word to his grandmother.
Sun Ya and Sun Pozi have now regarded the Ming family and the Yu family as the most important customers, but as long as the Ming family and the Yu family let the two of them help do something, these two will use their fastest speed to do the best quality.
No, Mingyue's request to buy people was relayed by Shengping to Grandma Sun on the morning of the third day, and Grandma Sun took more than 20 subordinates to the door of Yu's house.
