Chapter 248: Helping Others

Shangcai Manor changed greatly, and around the Zhao manor, houses of long-term workers and tribals were built, surrounding the Zhao family's courtyard and the tenant farmer's village in the middle.

The entire Shangcai is quietly wintering, except for this one.

Every day here is very lively, people come and go, many villagers come from the other side of Shangcai County, even if it is not for wages, just for the two meals a day here, it is worth their work here.

Ji Yuan did all this in an orderly manner, and at the same time had to deal with the news from the capital.

Ji Yuan was fascinated, Zhao Tong hurriedly walked in, and said, "Mr. Ji, the order of Chai County is here." ”

Ji Yuan put all the letters on the table into the box and locked them, and asked, "What is he doing here?" ”

Zhao Tong paused and said: "Looking at the face, it doesn't seem to be a happy thing, I asked the people who followed the Chexian Ling, and I heard that it was because many people in Shangcai ran to Xiping County." ”

Ji Yuan was suddenly a little speechless, and he was silent for a while before he said, "Invite someone to the front hall, and I'll go." ”

Zhao Tong should go down.

Chai County Ling was very unhappy, he just received news that many people close to the villages in Xiping County have gone to Xiping County this year, and he doesn't know if he will come back.

Zhao Hanzhang was too much, not to mention Chang Ning, who robbed him, even the people under his rule had to rob him.

Ji Yuan represented Zhao Hanzhang in Shangcai, and naturally he couldn't let her relationship with Chai County Ling deteriorate, he said: "There may be a misunderstanding in this, how did the county magistrate know that they went to Xiping and didn't plan to come back?" ”

Chai Xian Ling snorted and said, "Their Li Zheng said." ”

Ji Yuan thought for a while and said: "I don't know if I can meet these Lizheng, as far as Ji knows, our girl has no intention of taking people, now there are homeless people everywhere, if Xiping County is short of people, just collect the homeless, why bother to fight with neighboring counties to make trouble?" ”

Chai County Ling was instantly persuaded by him, and felt that what he said was also very reasonable, so he immediately took Ji Yuan to see Li Zheng, who came to complain.

Li Zheng: ......

It's almost the New Year, the winter is getting colder and colder, and the Li Zheng are afraid that they will freeze to death underneath and starve to death, so they go to the small village below to inspect.

As soon as they entered the village, they found that many young people in the village were not at home, even teenagers of twelve or thirteen years old and middle-aged and elderly people in their thirties and forties (with tears streaming down their faces).

When I asked, I found out that I had gone to work in the next county, and I had been there for a long time.

The Li Zheng waited for a few days, and when they saw that they had not come back after the day of their wages, they became more and more worried, and they were afraid that they would stay in Xiping County and not come back.

The most terrible thing is that one Li Zheng panicked, so he talked to Li Zheng next door about this matter, and then found that many people under the front hand next door also went to Xiping......

So I was looking for one in a room, and everyone connected in series, and found that there were a lot of people who went, and it was still a village with a village, and they deliberately avoided the village they were in.

The worst thing is that although they avoided their village, there were also people in their village who heard the news and secretly ran away, so they hid it from them.

I'm so scared, it's spring after the New Year, and spring is going to be spring ploughing, if they don't come back, what can spring plough do?

There is a large loss of population in the land under its jurisdiction, and the county order must be not happy, and the county order is not good, can they still be better?

So as soon as the Li Zheng discussed, they went to the county seat to complain.

We have already reported it, can we snatch people back from the hands of Xiping County next door, that is the contest between your county orders.

Ji Yuan felt that they must have no conclusive evidence, and sure enough, when asked they really didn't, everything was just suspicion.

So Ji Yuan was relieved, and his face sank and he began to refute them.

Their girl is high-spirited and kind-hearted, will she be the kind of person who robs the population of a neighboring county?

She was just distressed about the winter hardships of the people in Shangcai County, so she recruited them to work so that they could earn some money to support their families.

This is a manifestation of the friendship between Xiping and Shangcai, how can you Lizheng live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?

Ji Yuan's face was gloomy, and Zhao Hanzhang counted the reasons for doing this, "Shangcai, like Xiping, is the hometown of our girl, don't forget, our girl's grandfather is Shangcai Bo, and the food is in Shangcai!" ”

Che Xianling's eyes lit up slightly, yes, how did he forget this?

Even the Li Zheng people doubted themselves, was it really not to rob people?

Of course not!

Yes, Ji Yuan can also dismiss him.

After successfully appeasing the order of Chai County and Zhonglizheng, Ji Yuan wanted to go back to the manor to write a letter to Zhao Hanzhang, when he went out of the yamen, he thought about it, Ji Yuan still said: "County Jun, this year two tax increases, the people are having a hard time, seeing that the New Year is going to be celebrated, but there are few people in the market to buy New Year's goods, it can be seen that their predicament, if the county Jun can help one or two at this time, and give grace to go down, they will be grateful to Dade." ”

Chai County Ling sighed: "I naturally know, but the county government is poor, how can there be anything to help?" ”

Ji Yuan opened his mouth and wanted to offer advice, but the county government didn't have it, but he could contact the big families in the county.

But thinking about it, the biggest household in Shangcai County is Zhao Hanzhang now, so he held back his words, and he had to ask Zhao Hanzhang about this matter.

So back at the manor, in addition to writing a letter to Zhao Hanzhang to take it easy, Shang Cai's side had already expressed dissatisfaction with her robbery, which was to mention the matter.

When Zhao Hanzhang received the letter, she had already returned from the gluttonous banquet, and she agreed to Ji Yuan without thinking about it, and wrote: "Take the lead in donating some food and cloth, and the specific amount can be decided." ”

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Don't care about the competition between counties, although I was born in Xiping, my ancestor is Shangcai Bo, whether Xiping or Shangcai is my hometown." ”

"In fact, we don't even have to care if it's for the people of the two counties, we donate food more to save people, so that the people who receive the donation can spend this New Year happily, not because he is from Shangcai or Xiping, so why stick to who he is?"

Helping people is a very happy thing, otherwise how could there have been so many people helping people throughout the ages?

Zhao Hanzhang also likes to help people, and she does not hesitate to help within the scope of her ability.

After Zhao Hanzhang finished writing the letter, he dried the ink, read the letter again and sealed it, and couldn't help but hehe.

Fu Tinghan, who was sitting on the desk not far away, heard the laughter and looked up at her, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just the joy of helping people."

Fu Tinghan: "...... Just like today when you help the heralds at the feast? ”

"That's not worth mentioning, I'm talking about the joy of donating grain to the people," Zhao Hanzhang touched his chin, "Shangcai County has relief grain for the New Year, so shouldn't my Xiping County also send something for the New Year?" It doesn't have to be all food......"

Zhao Hanzhang thought about it, she had to make a show to bring the people under her rule to celebrate the New Year.
