Chapter 48: Benevolence Hall (1)
Unless it is a disabled beggar who has lost the ability to work and receives five litres of rice a month for free, the rest of the homeless people whose families are poor but able-bodied need to exchange labor for food.
For example, helping to clean the market, helping with laundry, cultivating wasteland, learning to farm, and learning these skills will enable you to be self-sufficient in the future.
There are staple cereals such as rice, millet, wheat, soybeans, and corn, salt, and a limited amount of fish, mutton, and poultry every day.
Of course, if you want to eat such high-end food as mutton, fish or chicken and duck, you need to use more labor in exchange, and you can get the food you want to eat in the Shantang every day as long as you don't do bad things.
Ye Linghuang looked at the good hall back and forth, and the good hall did it in a good way, and it didn't look like just talking, but it was very serious.
Back in the front hall, a man with a leg disease and a limp walking was receiving a small bag of wheat, and left the good hall with a satisfied expression, at least he didn't have to eat the last meal for a few days.
Ding Tai put down the brush and finished making notes in the ledger.
Ye Linghuang saw that it had been recorded, so he picked up the account book and looked at it carefully, and Wang Liangcai and Ding Tai glanced at each other.
Yu Feng looked around the entire front hall with satisfaction, her original purpose of running this good hall was just to find an excuse in front of the queen mother, but then she thought about it carefully, since she wanted to do it, then do it well and take responsibility, at least don't let Ye Linghuang think that she just wanted to come out, it was a play.
Therefore, this good hall can be regarded as a collection of her hard work, and now it is doing a good job, worthy of the original intention.
Inadvertently, Yu Feng noticed that Ding Tai's face was different, lowered his head, and clasped his hands together; Beside him, Ye Linghuang was carefully checking the account book, I don't know if Ding Tai's face is wrong, is it related to this account book?
Ye Linghuang stared at the ledger and said, "At the beginning of each month, Shantang receives 100 stones of wheat, today is the sixth day of the new year, according to the records in the ledger, a total of 10 stones of wheat were spent on the fifth day, and about 90 stones remained......" Speaking of this, Ye Linghuang raised his eyes and looked at Ding Tai, "Just now this king entered the warehouse to check, and the remaining wheat was visually inspected, and it was almost this number." ”
Ding Tai nodded and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"But the common man with leg disease who left just now, the small bag of wheat in his hand, the king looked like it was not even a liter, why did it appear in the account book that Li Dali took away two liters of wheat?" Ye Linghuang was still speaking with a pleasant face at this time.
Ding Tai wiped the sweat from his forehead tremblingly again, bowed slightly, and said tremblingly, "Cao Min Ding Tai, back to the words of the prince, because the prince suddenly came today, the grass people were inevitably timid in their hearts, and they were in a trance for a while, and wrote one more horizontal, and hoped that the prince would forgive the sin, and he would never do it again next time." ”
Ye Linghuang casually threw the ledger back on the table, "Did you really accidentally write an extra line?" ”
"Lord Mingjian!" Ding Tai hurriedly knelt down.
Wang Liangcai saw that this momentum was not right, and he also hurriedly went to Ding Tai's side and knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Xiucai Wang Liangcai replied to the prince's words, Ding Tai has always been cautious and conscientious as a bookkeeper, and I have seen all this." ”
"What's the use of listening to you? Turn the ledger back to October 27, and come again, and bring back the civilian named Li Dali who left just now! Ye Linghuang clearly didn't believe what the two of them said.
