After explaining the matter of almsgiving, Su Xiaoman followed the subordinates of the prefect's mansion to the resting place.

After Su Xiaoman arrived at the place arranged for her, she hurriedly rested.

She was really tired last night, and after the tiring ride of this morning, it didn't take long for her to fall asleep.

The prime ministers on the other side were also very tired, and they fell asleep in a hurry when they arrived at the resting place.

Su Xiaoman's gang fell asleep, and the local prefect got busy.

After arranging the itinerary of Xiaoman and the others, he began to instruct his subordinates to prepare almsgiving.

The people are also very positive, although they have some harvest here, but they still can't withstand the natural disaster.

Looking at the busy subordinates, the prefect dragged the old body, arranged for other people to move the table, notified the people, and so on.

After being busy for a while, the things for charity were placed at the gate of the county government.

The prefect is now looking at the people who came to receive the food one by one, and he is very emotional.

There weren't many people in his city, but for some reason, in recent years, many homeless people have come from other places.

The prefect here also took pity on them, so they all stayed in the city.

In previous years, the harvest here was not bad, and after paying the taxes, there was enough left for the daily life of the people.

Since the arrival of the victims, it has become arid. There is no way to report to the imperial court.

Everyone was very grateful to take the food distributed from the county government, and then hid in the corner and began to eat.

The prefect looked at their gobbling appearances, shook his head secretly, and turned to leave.

When Su Xiaoman woke up, it was already ten in the evening, and the sky was obviously dark.

In the dark, Su Xiaoman called for pearl pandan.

The two maids, dutifully not going to rest, heard the call of their own wife, and hurried in.

Xiao Man, under the service of the two people of Pearl Xianglan, sorted out his clothes, thinking that the prefect was busy giving alms, and then said.

"Where is the prefect still busy? I guess the hour is over. ”

Pearl ran outside, and said while helping Su Xiaoman sort out his clothes.

"Madam, don't worry, the prefect has already arranged everything, but it's not over yet, where is the little boy to help."

Pearl doesn't know why it hasn't ended for so long, but there are more people here.

In those cities before, it should have been distributed for such a long time, Pearl stood up and scratched her head.

"It stands to reason that it should be over for such a long time, probably because there are fewer people here than in other cities."

Su Xiaoman looked at the pearl scratching his head, it is also possible that there are many people.

She didn't check on the situation when she came, and maybe the damage wasn't very serious.

If the damage is not severe, it means that there is no significant loss of people.

After Su Xiaoman got dressed, he got up and said to Pearl Xianglan.

"Let's go see how it goes."

Pearl Pandan said yes, and then Su Xiao

Man took the two maids out of the yard.

Arriving at the door of the county government, Su Xiaoman looked around carefully.

She found that there were still a lot of people waiting outside to receive alms, so she took a closer look.

Su Xiaoman didn't find the figure of the prime minister and the others, and he didn't have to think about it, the old man would not come out to do this kind of thing.

Because of the large number of people, the people in the prefect may be a little too busy, or even tired.

Su Xiaoman didn't put on a show, looked at the many people, and then turned back to Pearl Pandan and said.

"You guys go and help, it looks like we're going to have to get busy for a while."

Hearing their wife's instructions, the two girls didn't say anything superfluous, promised yes, and then hurried forward to help.

With the help of two people, the speed of giving was significantly faster.

Su Xiaoman looked at the little boy behind him who was handing out the silver and keeping accounts, walked to his side, and said.

"I'll help, you can take care of the bookkeeping."

Xiao Tong was already very serious about keeping accounts, but suddenly heard his wife's voice, and was a little frightened.

After coming back to his senses, he made room for Su Xiaoman, and then said.

"Thank you Madame for your help, sit down!"

Su Xiaoman sat next to him, and then helped distribute the silver taels.

With the addition of Su Xiaoman and a few others, the whole process of giving has become fast-paced.

When the prefect heard that Su Shangshu had gone to help distribute it, he hurried to the gate of the county government to inquire about the situation.

Looking at Su Xiaoman's busy figure, the old prefect stepped forward and saluted.

"How can this kind of work be done by Master Su? If there is a lack of people, it would be good for the subordinate to arrange it, how can this let you do it. ”

Su Xiaoman carefully distributed the silver taels, and when he heard the prefect's voice, he turned his head to look at him, and then said with a smile.

"It's okay, I've rested anyway, this little favor should still help."

Looking at the elderly prefect, Su Xiaoman said with concern while distributing silver.

"It's almost over here, the prefect will go back to rest, I'm still young and fine."

The prefect couldn't see that Su Xiaoman could resist, so he asked people to bring a chair and sit next to him to watch the process of giving.

When it wasn't over, the people who had been busy from the beginning suddenly relaxed.

Su Xiaoman counted the time, then turned his head to look at the little boy who was sorting out the accounts, and asked.

"How long did it take to give alms today?"

The boy thought about it carefully, and after they came, it didn't take long for them to start giving alms, and then returned to the Tao.

"Mrs. Hui, it's been about three or four hours! Anyway, it's a little bit more than when I came here before. ”

Xiao Tong frowned, and then looked at Su Xiaoman questioningly, not understanding what she meant.

Su Xiaoman listened to Xiao Tong's answer, and was a little puzzled, there were obviously more than a small number of people here.

The more Su Xiaoman thought about it, the more he wanted to get an answer, so he got up and walked to the prefect's side.

When the prefect saw Su Xiaoman walking towards him, he hurriedly got up

Rites, said.

"Su Shangshu has worked hard, dare to ask the lower official what can he do for you?"

Su Xiaoman looked at the elderly prefect who saluted him, then reached out to help him and spoke.

"The prefect doesn't have to be polite, these are what this official should do."

After helping the elderly prefect, Su Xiaoman motioned for him to sit down.

After the two of them sat down, looking at the people of the county government who were packing up their things, Su Xiaoman said slowly.

"There's something I don't know about this official."

After listening to Su Xiaoman's words, the prefect was a little scared in his heart, and he didn't know what was unclear about this Shangshu master, so he hurriedly asked.

"Dare to ask Lord Shangshu if there is anything you don't understand, please speak out and help you solve your doubts urgently."

Of course, what Su Xiaoman didn't understand was the problem of the number of people in this place, so he spoke.

"It's not like the previous city, and there are quite a lot of people. I don't know where it came from? ”

The prefect heard Su Xiaoman's question, and his hand clenched into a fist relaxed, because it was not another problem.

Thinking about what has happened in the city in recent years, the prefect did not shy away from it, so he said.

"Lord Shangshu doesn't know, our harvest here in previous years was quite good, but there is a disaster area nearby, so there are a lot of homeless people from there."

Su Xiaoman looked at the people around him, listened to the prefect's words, and asked when he heard that it was someone from other places.

"Elsewhere, but the nearby cities that were affected at the same time?"

Su Xiaoman didn't say much, the prefect nodded, and then continued.

"The other cities are better, but the one closest to here has a lot of victims."

Nearby city, Su Xiaoman came all the way and knew that the nearest city was the city, which was the last city they left.

Su Xiaoman didn't ask much, and asked some other questions about the city.

"When did these victims come here? What is the damage in the city now? ”

Su Xiaoman asked two questions, but the prefect had to answer them one by one, so he answered.

"Lord Hui Shangshu, it was about two years ago, at that time, our harvest here was still good, basically enough, but this year, I don't know how the harvest turned out to be like this."

Speaking of which, the prefect has a anxious look between his eyebrows, and it seems that he is a person who really thinks about the people.

Su Xiaoman looked at him, and stopped asking, the people here are probably because of the corruption of officials in the city last year.

Speaking of the corruption of the previous prefect, Su Xiaoman was furious in his heart, he was not well managed in the city, and he even affected other places, which was really an unforgivable crime.

At this time, Su Xiaoman was full of fighting spirits, thinking that he would definitely sort out the evil deeds of the prefect in the next few days and put him in prison.

Listening to the sighing voice of the elderly prefect beside him, Su Xiaoman came back to his senses, and then comforted.

"Don't worry, when I return to the court, I will report this incident to the emperor, and try to reduce taxes here in the future, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment."

Su Xiaoman didn't say anything crazy, she really had such a purpose.

Because of this

Bian often has a bad year, so the strong tax makes the people breathless, so it should be relieved.

The prefect listened to Su Xiaoman's words, his eyes were full of gratitude, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to say at the moment.

The prefect hurriedly got up, and then began to shake his hands tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice.

"Xiaguan is here, thank you for the people here, your great kindness, we are unforgettable."

Su Xiaoman got up and helped the elderly prefect, this matter was originally what she wanted to do, but whether it can succeed depends on the opinion of the court.

Thinking that he didn't know if it could be successfully implemented, Su Xiaoman didn't have a bottom in his heart, so he explained to the prefect.

"I'll bring this up, it depends on the opinion of the DPRK and the central government, can I talk about it, it's a little early to thank you."

The prefect was helped up by Su Xiaoman again, and then the old tears swept through.

"Knowing that the adults have this heart, the lower officials are very grateful, no matter whether they can really implement it or not, the lower officials are also grateful."
