Chapter Ninety-Three: The Temporary Agency
In the early morning, the clouds were overcast, thunder followed one after another, and lightning flashed in the sky.
The branches of the trees were rattling in the wind, and in an instant, a downpour of rain fell.
Although it was raining heavily today, Xia Yiyu still took Xie Yufei out to inspect the disaster relief situation of officials.
Early in the morning, more than 10 houses in the Yongxingfang Temporary Office were full of people, and each house had a total of 20 or 30 officials, officials, and servants from various groups for disaster relief, which was inevitably a little crowded.
The imperial court dispatched more than 600 middle- and low-level officials, and each yamen dispatched more than 1,000 scribes, officials, and servants.
These people were assigned to one hundred and eight squares in Chang'an, and these were all assigned to Yongxingfang.
Everything here is very simple, and it is not like there are people serving in their own yamen, the treatment is only to provide hot water, the officials have already known the simplicity of this place yesterday, many people have brought their own bags of tea soup ingredients, the servants poured a cup of hot water, the officials grabbed a handful of tea soup ingredients and threw them into their own cups, as for others? Please bring your own, but I'm not here to talk to friends.
It was raining outside and it was impossible to get out, so officials huddled together, sorting out the results of yesterday's inspection and discussing with each other.
"It's not easy for us to be officials, it's raining heavily outside, and after we finish sorting out these records, we should go out to visit and investigate, and bring the emperor's benevolence to every household affected by the disaster."
"Yes," everyone in the house nodded yes!
"His Royal Highness King Qin has come down!" With sharp eyes, he saw Xia Yiyu coming towards his house.
Immediately, everyone in the house stood up and greeted them.
In a moment, Xia Yiyu walked over.
"See His Royal Highness King Qin!" The crowd bowed and bowed.
"You are now a colleague of this king, so you don't need to be polite," Xia Yiyu said as he walked, and sat down when he walked into the house.
"Thank you, Your Highness"
In front of the King of Qin, only the officials dared to sit down, and those scribes and servants could only stand.
Xie Yufei didn't have a seat, and he didn't dare to sit if he did.
After Xia Yiyu sat down, he picked up their visit transcript and looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction after reading it.
Seeing King Qin's satisfied look, everyone in the room was relieved, hoping to get King Qin's praise again, and even more hoping that King Qin's unique vision could find himself quite talented in the crowd.
Xia Yiyu understood the little Jiujiu in their hearts, but he did not act according to their hopes, he looked at everyone majestically, until they did not dare to look at him, and then he exercised the special authority of the leader - to speak.
"Your colleagues have worked hard, today the heavy rain will bother you to go out to deal with affairs, this king looks at it is also unwilling, but even this king is no exception, to go all over the rest of the streets, because many of the affected people do not even have shelter from the rain, they look forward to the court can help them, can settle them as soon as possible, colleagues can sincerely share the worries of the people, do not slack off and do not bully the people, colleagues must know that the emperor can not see the people suffer,
As long as you do your best, this king will ask my father for credit for you! Well, this king also has many things to go first. Xia Yiyu said a word of admonition and encouragement before leaving, and walked to the next house. He is not involved in the specific affairs of the officials, but is only responsible for monitoring and final disaster surveys.
"I'll do it with my heart, please rest assured! Congratulations to King Qin. Everyone in the house sent Xia Yiyu to the door, and everyone looked at the back of King Qin leaving with resentful eyes, they just patted their chests and said that they would fulfill their duties, and before they had a chance to politely cling to the relationship, King Qin left in a hurry.
Xie Yufei glanced back, and met her with dozens of pairs of resentful eyes, she shivered all over, it seemed that standing next to him was affected by the pond fish,
She looked at the initiator who walked in front of her, and felt that she was very majestic, so she had the appearance of a prince.
"Natural disasters are ruthless, people are affectionate, we are rooted in Chang'an, and we should do our best for the elders of Chang'an, share the worries of the imperial court, and Ma donated 20,000 yuan."
As soon as Xie Yufei and the others walked to the door of the office, they heard a high-pitched and slightly sad tone, and the person who spoke seemed to be choked with tears.
"Yes, I will also donate 20,000 yuan!" Two more male voices chimed in.
In a wide gatehouse near the entrance of the office, a large wooden sign hung on the wide side of the door that read, 'Disaster Relief Donation'
Looking into the gatehouse, there were three merchants from the Western Regions who had come together to put the donation money in front of the two registration clerks, and the three of them were chatting enthusiastically about the plaque, how could there be a sad look between their eyebrows? Some are just excited.
Listening from a distance just now, from the official words of these three people, it was completely impossible to tell that they were foreign businessmen.
Xie Yufei and the others only watched for a while before leaving, got into the carriage, Xie Yufei held up an umbrella for him, Xia Yiyu also wanted to repeat the old trick this time, but he couldn't get soaked when he went out on an errand, and he would lose face.
Xia Yiyu said happily: "Yu Fei, yesterday each square has posted a donation notice and began to collect donations, and many wealthy families have poured into each square, and the statistics of silver donations in each square have reached 1.73 million.
There are as many as 150 people who donate 10,000 yuan directly from these rich people, and I can't imagine that there will be people here today. ”
Xie Yufei said lightly: "Yesterday's donation of silver was the real Dajia family, and those who came later need to be weighed, 10,000 guan is not a small amount, and it may be possible to collect about 1 million guan in these days."
There are a lot of rich people in Chang'an, and even those foreign businessmen will donate, because they have taken the bronze medal and plaque, they can gain a foothold in Chang'an with peace of mind. ”
"What a little villain, not only calculating domestic businessmen, but also foreign businessmen." Xia Yiyu quipped.
Xie Yufei glared at him and said: "If you don't do this, although there will be a lot of people donating money, but I just want them to donate more, the people who live in the same side of the water and soil, can't talk about donating some casually, at least they have to do their best, those million-dollar businessmen only donate thousands of dollars How can they match their identity." ”
Xia Yiyu lifted the curtain and looked out, not wanting to respond to her bandit logic.
The next stop was Anxingfang, and when I entered the temporary office summer office, there were only two houses with people, and only a few scribes in it were sorting out the statistical records. A tall official with his back to the door instructed several scribes on how to count the numbers on the records with Xiyuan numbers.
Xie Yufei knew who it was just by listening to the voice-Zhong Shu.
Xie Yufei saw that there were only four people in these rooms, and he just like Xia Yiyu found a place to sit down casually and didn't disturb them, these people were very serious, and they didn't find anyone coming in at all.
"Lord Wang, master?" Zhong Shu turned around and unconsciously hit a spirit, obviously startled, who made him too focused just now, his nerves were tense.
Xia Yiyu smiled gently: "Supplement, this king didn't disturb you, right?" ”
"See the prince" Several people also heard his shout, and after seeing it, they all got up and saluted.
Xia Yiyu smiled gently, "You don't have to be polite, don't pay attention to this king, you continue to work!" ”
"Xie Wangye" and a few people bowed again before sitting down, and buried their heads in the book.
"Master!" Zhong Shu walked over and saluted Xie Yufei.
"Assist, please take a seat!" Xie Yufei smiled slightly.
Zhong Shu sat down and said, "Lord Wang, do you want to check yesterday's summary transcript?" ”
"No need, this king believes in supplementation, you are very relieved to have you in this king!" Xia Yiyu waved his hand and said.
"Yesterday, the two princes came to organize officials to set up temporary office places, assign official tasks, and sit in the afternoon to supervise and collect donations.
The two princes also came just now, and I heard that the two princes were diligent, just like me and others, and they had already gone out at dawn, and the two princes not only entered the office progress of the office of the procurator, but also braved the heavy rain to check the affected places, and many people admired them very much. Zhong Shu's tone was not good, and he seemed to blame.
Zhong Shu and King Qin are close to each other, King Qin treats him very well, and has always had the intention of wooing him, but Zhong Shu has always avoided this topic.
