Chapter 402: Good deeds are not easy

The silver and grain are available, here in the Qin Palace, Jin Zhuoyan has taken a trip, he has been leading the title of the chief of the palace, and as the chief of the palace, he received the instructions of the queen mother, and was entrusted by the prince to take care of this disaster relief on behalf of the nine ladies of the Li family.

Jiang Yanshi didn't arrive, he only ordered a staff member, this messenger can't fight for the length of the matter, and there is nothing to fight for, he can't get it, it's better than arriving in person.

Luo Zhongsheng himself didn't come, Bai Qiao arrived, but from beginning to end, he politely asked Huangfu Yin first, Huangfu Yin's responsibilities, and he was not polite, and first talked about the number of people affected by the disaster in the capital, the number of houses, the silver, grain and medicine needed, and put forward a plan first.

The fourth prince and the fifth prince arrived at the Yamen of the Beijing Mansion at the same time, and arrived at the earliest, and the sixth prince arrived a little late, and also arrived, with an extremely good and extremely humble attitude, from Jin Cunyan to the staff of the Jiang Mansion, no matter what they said, they all praised and agreed, at least here, or no matter where, they did not have the right to speak.

Although there are many people, things are discussed very quickly, Huangfu Yin proposed one, Bai Qiao nodded, Jin Cunyan or directly seconded the proposal, or put forward a sentence or two suggestions, Jiang Mansion staff stroked their beards and nodded, the three princes all pressed their hands on their knees, leaned and stared, looking at Jin Chuyan, he nodded, and they nodded together.

In the afternoon of the same day, the first porridge shed and the shed for free clinics were erected, Gu Liu came over for a walk, found Jin Cunyan muttered for a while, to Taixue, except for a few injured and sick scholars, everything else, brought out, from Huangfu Yin received some messengers who could do, this is Guo Sheng's suggestion, one is to accumulate blessings, and the other is to let them do something practical, take a look at the misery of the civilians, and become an official in the future, which is very beneficial.

Huangfu Yin and the two consecutive Beijing Mansion Yin have done smoothly and peacefully, not all of them are exquisite, and that talent is also very rare.

By the third day, the craftsmen from all walks of life in the capital had been gathered, and they began to withdraw good money, repair and rebuild collapsed houses, erect sheds, lease foot shops and cart shops, settle the citizens who had nowhere to go, divide the scholars into allocations, and together with the clerks of the Beijing Yamen and the small officials of the Ministry of Works, they went out of the city to inspect the disaster situation in various places, as well as how the river was going.

Around noon, King Qin picked up Li Xia and checked the relief situation in various parts of the city.

The car just passed not far from Jinliangqiao Street, and the Taiping Xingguo Temple in front was a place where the victims were placed.

Both of them were specially selected for their clothes, King Qin wore a dark blue plain silk gown, tied with a jade belt, and wore a dark blue head on his head. Li Xia wore a light indigo silk skirt, a gray-blue long jacket on her upper body, and only a golden hairpin on her head.

The queue in front of the porridge shed is not too long, nor too short, moving forward little by little, in an orderly manner.

The two stood next to the team, watched for a while, and then went forward, to the door of the porridge shed, and looked carefully, half of the porridge shed was in the mountain gate of Taiping Xingguo Temple, half of it was outside the mountain gate, and on the other side of the mountain gate, a shed was set up, and a table and a chair were placed under the shed, and there were more than a dozen stools of all kinds in front of it.

"To put it mildly, these details are arranged by Huang Qingquan, and in practice, Huang Qingquan is indeed very rare." King Qin took a closer look and was very satisfied.

"Well, let's go see Shi's porridge." Li Xia motioned to the monks in the mountain gate who were rolling up their sleeves high, and were using a large copper spoon two or three feet long to put thick porridge into the large bowls that were raised one by one.

"It must be good rice porridge, at this time, how dare anyone mix it well?" King Qin said with a smile.

Li Xia only smiled and didn't speak, pulled King Qin's sleeve, and stepped over the threshold first, behind the mountain gate.

"Hey, this benefactor, can't you go to the back......" The monk who was serving porridge hurriedly shouted, and before he could call out, Chengying stepped forward and said in a not low voice: "It's the prince, what are you arguing about!" ”

The monk froze with a big copper spoon in his voice, stared at King Qin and Li Xia, and after a moment, let out a long sigh, "Uh, it's the prince!" He screamed as he threw down the spoon and was about to kowtow.

"Hurry up and do your thing, you are an outsider, you don't need to care about vulgarity." Li Xia had already entered the threshold and stood behind the monk, the voice was not loud, just enough for the monk to hear.

The spoon in the monk's hand had already been thrown back into the cauldron, and he was just about to bend down when he was stuck there by Li Xia's words, and looked at King Qin with an embarrassed expression.

King Qin smiled gently, and motioned for him to continue serving porridge, "Just do your business, don't pay attention to me and the girl." ”

The monk breathed a sigh of relief, or bent down and straightened up again, and picked up the copper spoon again, but the victims of the long queue outside the mountain gate had already knelt together, kowtowing one after another, what Bodhisattva is in the world, good people, great kindness, shouting, chaos.

"Let's go." Li Xia turned around and came out, "It's like this, I can't look at it, I'll come back after watching it around." Li Xia said, while looking at Chengying, Chengying shrunk his neck, and he didn't dare to come out, he just thought that this was a good thing, but he didn't expect this chaos now.

King Qin looked at Li Xia, who was pouting, couldn't help laughing, moved half a step in front of her, and smiled at the people who kept kowtowing and praising and grateful: "Get up, this is all the emperor's grace." ”

The chaotic bodhisattva good people and great benevolence were soon replaced by the saint long live and the emperor's grace, and Li Xia, the king of Qin, walked a few steps, got in the car and left.

Turning a corner, along the South Gate Street to the gate of the Great Ci'en Temple, Chengying obediently asked people to quietly greet him.

Nanmen Street is close to the Bianhe River, this area is the hardest hit, the Great Ci'en Temple is crowded, and some temporary shacks are often set up on both sides, but it is not too long.

The Great Mercy and Grace Temple is also the same as the Taiping Xingguo Temple, the porridge shed is half inside the mountain gate, half of the mountain gate is outside, and the people who receive the porridge are lined up outside, the team here is much longer than the Taiping Xingguo Temple, and the people who received the porridge are some holding the porridge bowl into the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, but most of them turn around and go back.

Li Xia and King Qin stood opposite the Great Ci'en Temple, looking at the men, women, and children who were trotting east or west with hot porridge, and there were not many of the shacks that extended to both sides of the temple gate, and there were many who ran all the way without a trace.

King Qin frowned, and beckoned to Kexi, "Find a few clever ones, and keep an eye on a few people who haven't entered the temple or the shack to see how the family is." ”

Kexi agreed, and hurriedly picked five or six clever ones, and quietly embellished them on both sides.

Li Xia pouted in the temple, "Let's go in and have a look." ”

The two entered the temple, and a place was circled to the left in the mountain gate, with four or five cauldrons, and the porridge was boiling in a blazing light, and the thick aroma of rice and beans was overflowing.

Li Xia walked to the pot, stood on tiptoe, stretched out his head to look, stepped back to the side of the bags of grain piled up one by one, and grabbed a handful to show King Qin, "Do you recognize the quality of rice?" ”

King Qin shook his head while laughing, where could he tell the difference between good and bad rice.

"Who knows?" Li Xia looked at the surrounding guards, but Xi stepped forward and said with a smile: "The little one understands a little, this is the high-grade japonica rice, and the red beans over there are also the best red beans, and they are the best grains." ”

"Ugh." Li Xia sighed, threw the rice back into the bag, came out with King Qin, who had frowned, and returned to the opposite side of the temple gate, King Qin called the little girl Chunshan, "You go and take a trip to each porridge shed from the first day, how much grain is used for each meal, about how many people have come to receive the porridge, copy the number, and, tell Huangfu Yin again, these numbers, report them once a day." ”

Chunshan agreed, asked for the horse, and hurriedly went to copy the number and spread the word.

Li Xia and King Qin said in a low voice as they walked forward: "The first meal, it must be the least, the further back it is, the more one meal is more, it must be like this."

Look at those rice beans and smell them again, how fragrant they are. When our family was in Taiyuan Mansion, I don't know what kind of rice we ate, but it was definitely not such high-grade japonica rice, such high-grade japonica rice, it must have been eaten after arriving in Hengshan County, because I remember that after arriving in Hengshan County, the rice became very delicious, so I especially like Jiangnan, and even the rice is better than Taiyuan Mansion. ”

Li Xia laughed as he spoke.

King Qin looked down at her, the pity in his eyes overflowed, he was too careless back then, and he took too little care of her.

"Later, I learned that even if Hangzhou is a famous and wealthy place, such a high-quality japonica rice, a little more ordinary people can't afford to eat it, and the capital is not necessarily richer than Hangzhou.

"Well, I haven't taken care of such a small matter, Huang Qingquan ......" King Qin frowned, and didn't say the rest of the words, why didn't Huang Qingquan think of this?

"There must be a lot of people who think of it, it's just that, first, this is the queen mother's good deed, and second, it's the two of us, and the ones that each family takes out and sends over, they must be high-class good things, Huang Qingquan and them, even if they have anything to say, can they do it? More things are better than less things, I must think that the Queen Mother and we, especially the two of us, just want to be faced, not to talk too much, to be a bad person with good intentions, and people's hearts are like this. ”

King Qin sighed slowly, "I'll let people say a word to the clumsy words, and replace the rice beans with third-class ......."

"That's not good, do good deeds, save lives, but you can't save the poor, ask a few people in the city and outside the city to close the position or something, if it is flooded, take the flooded rice, or the old grain that will be replaced this year, and you are not allowed to add red beans or anything, that is, rice, well, a pound of rice is mixed with half a tael of the finest stones, that's all."

Li Xia said slowly, and King Qin's eyes widened when he heard this, "Ah Xia, you ......"

"This is a life-saving emergency, to make this bowl of good porridge difficult to swallow, to let them not come to eat this bowl of good porridge until they have to, so that they will find ways to tide over the difficulties, besides, at this time, the city is everywhere to repair houses, but also to dredge the river, clean up the streets, everywhere is a place to employ people, Huang Qingquan must lack people and hate to scatter beans into soldiers.

If you look at these people waiting in line for porridge, there are at least thirty or forty percent of the young and strong, and there are also those women, who are young and strong, and have more than enough to clean up the streets and clean up the filth, rather than spend this harmful and useless unjust money, it is better to use the money saved to subsidize the wages, and prefer to pay more. Li Xia's voice was calm and cold.

King Qin looked at her a little stunned, she was right, but she was just a teenage girl, and this heart made him feel a little palpitated......

"Also, don't change it all at once, mix some every day, and spend two or three days." Li Xia didn't see it, nor did he pay attention to King Qin's apprehension and silence, and only continued indifferently.
