Chen Youyi nodded and said in a low voice, "I also want to do my best to do my best, but I found that soup soup alone can't solve the survival problem of these people, so I didn't know how to come to Lord Xu to discuss this matter for a while." As long as Lord Xu is in need, just open your mouth, as long as I can do it, just ask. ”

Xu Linfeng was full of sorrow, his eyes looked into the distance, and after thinking for a while, he said, "At present, we can only use the method of soup soup to solve the situation of the victims, I have sent people down to encourage those rich squires to take the initiative to donate rice and noodles, or build porridge sheds to help the victims, but more and more victims are pouring into the town, and it will take some time to completely solve it." ”

He looked at Chen Youyi, and naturally appreciated what she had done, "Until now, I haven't thought of an effective way to solve the problem of the victims, I don't know what good way the princess has?"

She was here to ask for a way, but she didn't expect Xu Linfeng to have no better way. Her brow furrowed.

At this moment, an attendant beside Xu Linfeng came in and said a few words in his ear, his face changed slightly and he stood up, "Qin Niangzi, you wait here for a while, I have something to deal with, and I'll come in a moment." ”

She got up and nodded to see him off, and then she waited here, but Xu Linfeng never returned.

It was still an attendant beside him who ran back and said to Chen Youyi apologetically, "Lord Xu has important matters to deal with now, then I will reply to your Qin Niangzi, and the things you want to talk about will be discussed another day." He doesn't have time now. ”

"Lord Xu has a lot of opportunities, then I'll come back another day."

Chen Youyi got up and left here with Xiaoxue, and in the next few days, she asked people to help with soup soup in Zhouwu, and then discussed this matter with Lord Xu.

Because if you want to do this thing, you still have to rely on the people in the government to do it better, and it is difficult to solve such a big thing by relying on your own enthusiasm and ability.

But in the next few days, Chen Youyi asked Xu Linfeng to go to him, but his people were not there several times, and I don't know what he has been busy with recently.

Just when Chen Youyi was so anxious about this matter, Xu Linfeng sent someone from there, "Qin Niangzi, our adults said that there will be two hours in the afternoon tomorrow, and we want to discuss with you the matter I said last time." He also said that he had been thinking about this in his heart, but he was negligent for a while because he was too busy recently. ”

Chen Youyi's face was not very good-looking, and she thought to herself that what was more important now than solving the problem of the victims?

But he didn't say it, "Did you adults say where you were going to meet?" ”

"My lord said that this matter is up to Mrs. Qin to decide."

Chen Youyi nodded and thought for a while, she hadn't walked around the restaurant in the past few days, although she knew that there was also porridge Peng there, but she didn't know what the situation was.

So I was going to go over there and have a look, and then said. "Go back and tell you adults that I will wait for him in the restaurant tomorrow afternoon. This time, we must let him come over. ”

The man remembered and nodded away.

Early in the morning of the second day, Chen Youyi took Xiaoxue to the restaurant, first took a look at the porridge Peng, which was similar to the situation on his side, and then learned about the restaurant's recent business situation and accounts.

She frowned tightly while flipping through the bills, and the shopkeeper on the side saw that her face was not very good, and stepped forward and said, "Because of the disaster victims, business has been a lot bleak recently. ”

Chen Youyi didn't say anything and continued to flip through the bills, and sighed when she saw the end, "Business has not been very good these days, and we have been spending money to buy rice to help the victims, so the restaurant's expenses this month are a little beyond our means." ”

"yes." The shopkeeper of the restaurant's account room also spoke, "Not only did you open a porridge Peng, but Master Zhang also set up one, and Lord Xu also spent a lot of cash here, so the deficit in the accounts of the restaurant this month is a bit big." ”

She looked up at him, "It can't be regarded as a deficit, after all, all this silver has been used for good deeds, and saving those victims is also a great good deed." You don't have to pay too much attention to it, the restaurant will earn it back in the future. ”

After staying here for a while, she asked about Master Zhang's situation again, and when she was about to leave, she instructed them, "You can continue to do it according to the daily business, the reserves on weekdays will be reduced by 30%, if Master Zhang or Master Xu wants to pay silver here, as long as it is for the relief of those disaster victims, no matter how much, they will be given to them." ”

The others agreed one by one, she glanced at the time again, and felt that it should be about the same, so she went to a private room in the restaurant and sat down, because of the pregnancy, walking was extremely cumbersome. Fortunately, Xiaoxue is by her side, so you don't have to be too tired most of the time.

Xu Linfeng arrived here on time, and when he entered the door, he said directly with apologies, "There are other important things to deal with in the past few days, I thought I would go back to you to discuss this matter at that time, but I never thought that it would be delayed for so long." I hope the princess will forgive me. ”

"Lord Xu is an official of the imperial court, and I can understand every day, as long as you still think about those victims in your heart, those victims will be saved."

The two of them sat down and resumed their last conversation.

However, in view of the lessons learned last time, Chen Youyi did not say too many detours to him this time, but said directly, "I don't think it's wrong to open a porridge shed to help these people, but this is a symptom but not a cure, and it is still necessary to completely resettle these victims and let them rebuild their homes in order to completely solve this matter." ”

Xu Linfeng nodded lightly, and thought she was right, "Actually, that's exactly what I thought." ”

Seeing him say this, Chen Youyi hurriedly stood up, and said as if he was a little excited, "Since Lord Xu thinks the same way, let's look for a place where these people can be accommodated now." Find something for them to do first, so that they can at least have a job to survive and settle the people of the town. ”

"This method is very appropriate, but it is necessary to resettle so many victims, and it is estimated that there will be no vacant places for a while." Xu Linfeng frowned tightly again.

Chen Youyi stepped forward and seemed to be a little excited, and directly proposed, "Why don't we put up some notices in the town first, if we can take these disaster victims as partners, the yamen can give them some subsidies or some preferential treatment." ”
