If you want to care for the people and help the people, the most important thing at this time is to first figure out who needs help and what kind of help is needed, how could Xu Jizong not understand this premise.

It's just that he ran outside for a little month and a half, and when he really started doing things, he realized the hardships.

Helping the people can not be scattered, the state in the grain rice, silver money is very short, even if there is more, this thing is to save the poor, never save the rich, if everyone is relying on the state relief to make a living, first, this is life-saving grain and rice, can not withstand such a flower, second, there are people in this place to eat, that place will be one more person starved to death.

Xu Jizong originally set up a porridge shed in the state city, giving porridge twice a day, and strictly ordered the county and township to follow the porridge, and arranged a place to live for the widowed, lonely, and homeless.

These two big things sound simple, but they are almost life-threatening to do.

The soup soup in the state city, the grain and rice are not enough, there are always people who receive one time, and then the second time, several times the porridge shed is in chaos, the shed was directly overturned, it is more than 100 soldiers guarding, can not protect people to grab food.

And the lower county and township are even more troublesome, the county government comes to sing a round of poverty every day, talking about no grain and no silver in the treasury - it is indeed not lying, Xu Jizong had to ask the lower head to report the number and allocate grain and rice to them.

It's just that the township and county reported the number, and he followed it, but he didn't know whether the grain and rice were given to the heap people, only that there was chaos everywhere, people starved to death here, people starved to death there, and it was clear that the Jiaozhi soldiers had retreated, but because of the loss of strong labor, only the old, weak and lonely people were left in the family, and there were miserable voices.

He also wants to separate the situation of the people below, so that he can prescribe the right medicine, but now there is a shortage of manpower everywhere, and he really can't spare the effort to get it.

It was as if he wanted to build a house, but the foundation had not been laid, so could he go and build the pavilion in mid-air?

Xu Jizong was still thinking about it, but he heard a familiar voice in the hall say: "You don't have to wait and worry about the things next to me, I will assign it, and only act according to my assignment, as for what the purpose is, don't worry about it." ”

- It was Gu Yanzhang, who hadn't been able to meet for a long time.

When Xu Jizong heard this, he suddenly secretly screamed in his heart.

Sure enough, as soon as Gu Yanzhang's words fell, there was a loud noise inside.

A young voice shouted: "Gouyuan, we are also officials of the imperial court, and we are all on an errand in the state government, although you are a senior official here, but is it inappropriate to act like this?" ”

When the man finished shouting, everyone in the hall joined in.

Someone shouted: "So that Gouyuan will know that we are from Jinshi, but we are not brainless officials, and you are acting like this, treating us as such fools!" It makes no sense! ”

Xu Jizong frowned when he heard it outside.

This group of people who went south on the order of the Son of Heaven were all new recruits who had been waiting for officials in Liunequan for two years, but they had been grinding for so long, but they had not smoothed out the edges and corners of everyone - what was a little softer in nature, they honestly accepted the errand given by the court, and they did what they were asked to do.

These people who reluctantly came to Guangnan until the Son of Heaven forced them to come to Guangnan were all self-righteous in their bones.

He really suffered a lot of people in the hall in the first half of the month, and the things that were assigned were either shirked, or even though they were taken over, they were thrown back with a discount not long after, either that it was not easy to do, or that it was not easy to do, and the piles could find excuses that didn't work.

These officials are not from Jinshi, and their eloquence is first-class, especially Guo Jian, who can always pick what he wants to do, and if he doesn't want to do it, he can tell the truth of one, two, three, four, as if he is the one who counts.

Xu Jizong is just a eunuch in the end, he really lacks confidence, he has been given a lot of face in the open and secret, I don't know how many times he scolded in his heart, he can't complain about the same batch of Jinshi, Gu Yanzhang, Zheng Shixiu and others have already achieved such a position, these noisy people are just the staff officials in Yongzhou, this is not fate, but it deserves it!

At this time, seeing that everyone was not only making trouble in front of him, but also in front of Gu Yanzhang, he didn't know whether to watch the play or be angry for a while.

He thought about it, in the end, he still planned to help, and was about to step in, but he heard Gu Yanzhang say: "We are from the same department, and the qualifications are no different, it's just that Yanzhang became an official earlier, and he has some experience, if you want to do it yourself, I don't have much to stop, as long as from tomorrow, within five days, the poor and old people in the land under my jurisdiction will be counted one by one, reported to them, and then divided into items, I will have nothing to say." ”

Hearing this, Xu Jizong immediately took his feet back.

This kind of plagiarism is impossible to produce results in two or three months, Gu Yanzhang made such a request, and there is no possibility of doing it, the people inside will make a big fuss, and he still doesn't want to go in and wade into this mess at this time.

Sure enough, the commotion in the hall became even louder, and the person who spoke before shouted: "Since Gou Yuan said that he is in the same department as us, why bother to give such an impossible thing to do!" Isn't it difficult for a strong man to do an errand that he couldn't do well in the previous month in five days?! ”

As soon as this person finished speaking, echoing the voices and noisy voices came and went, and Guo Jian, who had always been relatively calm, couldn't help but interject in that Sichuan accent: "If there is something to send in Gouyuan, why don't you tell me carefully, we are all on an errand in Yongzhou on the order of the Son of Heaven, only if we want to do a good job, there is nothing we don't want to do!" Because it is a Jinshi background, it has its own ability to distinguish, if it is the right explanation of the Gou Yuan, he should do his best to do the errand well, and please don't do this order, it really looks a little different, if there is something I don't know, I thought it was a slight flaw in the Gou Yuan, and I came to embarrass me......"

Xu Jizong stood outside, only to hear Gu Yanzhang's voice said gently: "It's not difficult, but now whether it is in the city of Yongzhou, or the counties and townships under its jurisdiction, there are hungry people everywhere, as long as it drags on for a day, there will be people who are hungry for a day, all matters, the faster the better, the slow copying is done, and the future can only be slow, for the sake of the people, I have specified five days, it is not an exaggeration." ”

He also said: "They are all officials of the same dynasty, what is difficult or not embarrassing, it is really a little childish to say it, this official has said that for five days, it is his own way to ask the state to do this in five days, so he will ask for this, if you follow your own method, you can also count the names and people of the people in the more than 20 counties and townships and 13 square streets in the city in five days, and I will only divide the manpower equally, and everyone will do their own thing, and will not block it." ”
