Fu Bo was a little at a loss, he had never seen Lu Ning so nervous, and he hurriedly replied.

"Young master, I can't afford your courtesy, you are doing good deeds, I must cooperate well, you don't say much, you can rest a little, I will arrange it immediately."

Fu Bo's efficiency was really very high, he immediately gathered a group of family members and villagers, and raised 200,000 catties of flour, meat and vegetables overnight.

However, there are things to eat, but there are not so many ready-made quilts, and there are only more than 10,000 sets of existing quilts in Changning County.

After preparing these, he came to Lu Ning's study to report the situation.

At this time, it had been more than two hours since Li Jinglong and Xie Jin left, and Fu Bo had already boiled his eyes red.

"Young master, I mobilized in the whole county, and raised 200,000 catties of food that night, but the quilt matter still can't be solved, and the bedding stored in our Changning County is only more than 10,000 sets, not so much."

Lu Ning just thought about it for a while, and immediately commanded.

"Now I know that you are working very hard, but the more difficult it is, the more you have to find a way, I will immediately send someone to Changzhou Mansion to ask Governor Liu for help."

After Fu Bo temporarily withdrew, Lu Ning was thinking that now there was actually a bumper harvest of cotton in the experimental field, which could be regarded as a good resource.

It's just that because there is no modern textile technology, there is no way to immediately spin cotton into quilts, and for the time being, you can only ask the Changzhou government for help.

It's been three watches, and Lu Ning can only close his eyes in the study and pretend to sleep.

He was waiting, waiting for Li Jinglong and Xie Jin to come back and explain the situation to him.

When the sky was about to dawn, Li Jinglong and Xie Jin finally rushed back.

When they arrived in the study, their eyes were already red, but there was a look of sadness on their faces.

Lu Ning knew that this time it must be more serious than he imagined, so he asked.

"Jiujiang, tell me, what is going on in Beijing now, you must know everything and say everything, and you can't hide it in the slightest."

Li Jinglong was already choked up and was about to speak, and he said to Lu Ning in embarrassment.

"Master, there is no need to say anything, just one word is too miserable, when we went, we saw the refugees waiting to be fed, and the people who died of cold and hunger abounded, and at this rate, there should be more than hundreds of people dying every day."

Lu Ning finally understood that what was written in the newspaper of the imperial court must have been concealed, and things were much worse.

He immediately told Li Jinglong.

"The first batch of supplies that you and Fu Bo should organize as soon as possible should be quickly transported to Shangjing and distributed to the victims, not through the hands of anyone else, and you will distribute them there yourself, lest those corrupt officials and corrupt officials have to make refugees rich."

Then, he said to Xie Jin.

"You continue to stay in Changning to organize new supplies, don't you have many protégés on the school side? Let them all participate in the preparation of materials this time, and they will all be officials in the future, even if they are allowed to really do something practical for the people this time. ”

After Fu Bo and Li Jinglong transported the things to Shangjing, they personally distributed them to the victims.

Soon, they were able to distribute all the supplies and set up some makeshift tents for the victims.

Although the situation has eased, things are not optimistic.

Li Jinglong looked at Fu Bo and said helplessly.

"It seems that there are at least 50,000 people affected by the disaster, and the food we brought can only last three to five days, and the quilts and tents are not enough.

Fauber felt even more helpless, and he had to say something.

"We try to do our best, do our best, and obey the destiny of heaven, but I believe that the imperial court will definitely be able to raise enough money and food for disaster relief."

Li Jinglong knew too much what kind of virtues those court officials were, so he sneered and said.

"You pointed to those household officials to raise money and food to come out for disaster relief, it is estimated that the old sows will be able to climb the tree, let's go back to Changning as soon as possible and find a way."

When they came back, Lu Ning told Li Jinglong.

"The second batch of supplies has also raised a large part of the equipment and quilts needed to set up tents, and the Changzhou government is also urgently raising them, and they can be shipped before noon."

At the same time, he also instructed Fauber.

"Isn't there a small restaurant in our house? Call all the cooks there and let them rush to Beijing together, take care of cooking for these refugees, and they don't need to make any too delicate dishes, and the steamed buns can still be served. ”

Li Jinglong said to Lu Ning.

"Master, I think you seem to be a bit ruined and relieved, and you are not a household secretary, what you can do has already been done, and you don't necessarily have to be too obsessed with this matter."

Lu Ning was in a little unhappy now, and he told Li Jinglong directly.

"If that bullshit book is in front of me, I have to slap him twice, I have to ask him, why did he make Daming an empty warehouse, if there is money in the treasury, where can I use this small county order to buy good for you?"

Li Jinglong was very helpless, he knew Lu Ning's thoughts, but he also had to tell the master that the cost of doing so was too great.

"But according to your disaster relief method, we will spend more than 100,000 taels every day, even if the family foundation is thick, I am afraid that we will not be able to hold it for a long time."

Lu Ning was very unimpressed, he looked at Li Jinglong directly, and then said.

"Jiujiang, you remember what the teacher said today, even if I go bankrupt, I must not freeze to death and starve to death a common man."

From this moment on, Li Jinglong was truly completely impressed by Lu Ning.

It is not because of Lu Ning's talent and ability to make money, but because of the responsibility and responsibility he showed at a critical juncture.
