Wu Zhen did not have the full appearance of the adjutant in the past, and pulled He Fengyu and Fang Hubin outside with a dead face: "I know that the two gentlemen are hard, but I am the same as the people, and now I really need the two gentlemen." ”

"As long as I can dig one more well, I will be able to save many people from Datong."

"Please thank the two gentlemen for their hard work, as long as this matter is over, I will personally set up a banquet for the two gentlemen."

Although Wu Zhen is not the kind of official who doesn't know anything about local affairs.

However, as a bureaucrat at the level of the prefect.

Many things do not need his participation at all, as long as a general direction is formulated, someone will naturally do it.

Therefore, this is the first time that Wu Zhen has really dealt with problems from the perspective of a grassroots official.

In this process, Wu Zhen found that the things he had mastered before were not practical at all.

Those ordinary people don't know a single big character, and those who say nothing to them are also called poetry, they can't understand or understand.

It must be the simplest and most straightforward way to solve the problems we are facing.

Unconsciously, Wu Zhen's personality has also undergone some changes.

It's just that Wu Zhen himself probably doesn't know about this change.

Under Wu Zhen's urging, He Fengyu and Fang Hubin had to drag their tired bodies to get up and continue to dig wells together.

As a traverser, although Zhu Han knows a lot of knowledge that cannot be understood in this era, he is not an immortal after all, and he cannot conjure water out of thin air.

The work of He Fengyu and Fang Hubin can be regarded as bringing a glimmer of hope to the desperate Datong Mansion.

In a refugee camp outside Datong Province.

The people who were working talked in a low voice: "Have you heard that the disciples of His Royal Highness can dig water out of the ground?" ”

One of the newcomers asked puzzledly, "Isn't that just digging a well, what's so strange?" ”

"Phew, I don't know. The king's well is different from ordinary wells, it is said that there is a dragon lord in it, and the dragon king will personally bring the water up when he carries the water. ”

Hearing this man's words, many people around couldn't help but gasp.

"Oh my God, our prince can even drive the Sea Dragon King, so isn't he a god in the sky?"

"Isn't that nonsense? If it weren't for the immortals, how could they drive away the tyrannical yuan and save our people from fire and water? ”

"Fortunately, there is a prince! If it were a disaster of this magnitude, I don't know how many people would starve to death, where would we be able to live a stable life like now. ”

"When this disaster is over, we must give the prince a new word, and thank the prince for his grace from generation to generation."

Unlike the elated people, Zhu Han's current expression is extremely dignified.

Liu Shenhong respectfully reported to Zhu Han the current situation in Datong Mansion.

"Lord Wang, as the number of victims continues to increase, our food consumption is much faster than expected."

"If this continues, there will be two days at most, and the food in the treasury will be exhausted."

Zhu Han frowned slightly: "Why is this happening?" According to our original estimates, even if there are a large number of people rushing to Datong Mansion, they should be able to hold out until the first batch of grain is delivered, right? ”

Hearing Zhu Han's inquiry, Liu Shenhong said with some indignation: "Back to the prince, our government has been giving porridge outside the refugee camp. ”

"The purpose of this is to give those people who really can't do their jobs a hope to live."

"But in this world, there will always be those who want to get something for nothing."

"Many people would rather lie down every day and do nothing, as long as they have a bowl of porridge to survive."

Zhu Han bowed slightly, although he hadn't thought about this situation, but from the perspective of human nature, this kind of person really exists.

It's just that......

He then frowned: "There shouldn't be too many people like this, right?" Why is food consumed so quickly? ”

Liu Shenhong's expression was complicated: "Back to the prince, because there are many people from Datong Mansion, they secretly ran to our refugee camp to receive the imperial court's relief porridge." The large number of these people has led to a significant increase in the rate of our food consumption. ”

"I see." Zhu Han suddenly realized.

He still despised human greed, or it can't be said to be greedy.

The current grain price in Datong Mansion, but he personally defined it, such a high grain price is to attract grain merchants to use all their strength to transport grain to Datong Mansion.

Of course, four taels of silver and one stone of grain is not something that the people of Datong can consume.

In order to compensate them, Zhu Han also formulated many policies.

Now the people of Datong Mansion buy a stone of grain, and the real amount of silver they need to spend is only about two taels.

Although it is also expensive, many people can grit their teeth and hold on.

In this case, some people suddenly discovered that the imperial court could receive porridge outside the refugee camp.

There is a free bowl of porridge a day, and if you don't take it for nothing, you don't take it for nothing.

Naturally, there are many people who want to take advantage of it, so they come over.

Although there are not many such people for the entire prefecture. However, the treasury of food, which was originally needed to feed many people, was consumed too quickly.

Liu Shenhong said anxiously: "Lord Wang, hurry up and think of a way, otherwise I'm afraid something will really happen." If you really can't do it, you just ask those grain merchants directly? ”

"In the past few days, they have made a lot of money because of the grain price set by you, Lord Wang, and they should pay a little price."

Zhu Han shook his head slowly: "This is not good. ”

There are some rules, once a superior like him takes the initiative to break them, then what do those businessmen think?

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, Zhu Han will not use this method of self-destruction of the city wall.

Frowning and thinking for a while, Zhu Han's brows quickly relaxed.

As a traverser, this is good, and you can find useful things from many places in the afterlife.

Just now, he thought of a scene from a TV series in later generations.

"When does soup kitchen start today? Let's go over and have a look. Zhu Han stood up and walked quickly outside.

Seeing Zhu Han's appearance, Liu Shenhong knew that his prince had a way.

was immediately overjoyed, and quickly followed Zhu Han's footsteps.

Outside the refugee camp in Datong Province.

The soup kitchen set by the imperial court has already set up several cauldrons.

The smell of rice wafted around the soup kitchen, and many people who came to wait for the soup kitchen couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

The official in charge of soup soup stirred in the cauldron with a spoon and found that the porridge was almost cooked, so he nodded with satisfaction: "Today, when the soup kitchen begins, everyone consciously lines up, and no one will receive more than one bowl per person." ”

Hearing the official's words, the people immediately lined up skillfully, and no one dared to fight at will.

In the past, when the porridge was served, the people were afraid that they would not be able to eat it, so you fought for it in a mess, and even almost killed people.

In the end, it was Zhu Han who came forward in person, and even directly whipped a few disobedient dozen whips, and these people gradually became honest.

The people were just about to receive the porridge, when a sharp voice suddenly sounded: "The prince has arrived!" ”

At this time, neither the officials nor the people dared to slack off, and they knelt down and saluted.

Zhu Han waved his hand casually: "This king just comes to see casually, let's get up." ”

The officials in charge of the soup kitchen were about to pee, and the prince suddenly came to inspect the porridge shed, could it be that he felt that his work was not good?

In the official's worried gaze, Zhu Han picked up the spoon and stirred it in the cauldron a few times.

Although these porridges are made with some aged rice, they are still relatively thick.

Many of the people who have fled may not have eaten so well when they are about to be at home.

The official who gave the soup porridge hurriedly explained: "Back to the prince, all the porridge in the porridge shop is according to your instructions, and it is pierced into the chopsticks to not fall." ”

I wanted to say something, but the officer didn't continue.

Zhu Han looked around, and the people all looked at him with expectant eyes, and they almost said the word "I'm hungry" directly.

Many of these people were ragged people, and most of them were young and old.

There are also some people who are not very well dressed, but they are not affected by the disaster at first glance. The number of these people is about the same as the number of people who have fled.

No wonder the consumption of food is so severe.

Zhu Han smiled slightly, directly bent down and grabbed a handful of sand, and threw it into the freshly cooked rice porridge.

This move caused an uproar.

Now there is a big drought, whether it is food or water, it is extremely precious, Zhu Han's approach is simply a waste of food.

Even if it's you, you can't do this, right?

After throwing away the fools, Zhu Han stirred a few more times to muddy those fools.

The rice porridge, which was originally white, suddenly became a dull white that looked like it had no appetite.

After doing all this, Zhu Han clapped his hands, covered his stomach and said, "This king is in a hurry today, and he hasn't eaten yet." ”

After that, he turned to the old man who was in the first line and said, "Old man, there is no problem with letting this king cut in line, right?" ”

The prince spoke in person, how dare the old man not agree, nodded again and again: "Lord Wang, please." ”

In front of everyone, Zhu Han unceremoniously served a bowl of porridge.

After that, he didn't go far, walked to the side casually, squatted down like all the people, and began to drink the porridge one by one.

This situation blinded all the people, not only the people, but also the officials who gave soup porridge.

"The prince took such a big effort to run out of the city just to sprinkle a handful of sand on the porridge they boiled?"

"Lord Wang, this is water in your head, right?"

The people were also indignant: "Why do you sprinkle sand when you have good food?" ”

"The affairs of the nobles, that is what we ordinary people can figure out."

"In any case, a bite to eat is better than nothing, isn't it just sand, it's nothing."

Zhu Han not only mixed sand into the porridge himself, but also instructed the officials who gave the porridge: "Every pot of porridge is the same, add a handful of sand before cooking." ”

Sharp-eyed people found that after Zhu Han's order was given, many people in the crowd who were not too poorly dressed slowly withdrew from the crowd and left.

"Oops! Why don't you leave and don't get porridge, and if you want to queue up again, you have to wait in line for a long time. "Some zealous people hurried to stop them.

It's just that as soon as this man's words were finished, an older man sneered: "What are you telling them to do, can't you see it now?" ”

These words immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Seeing everyone looking at him, the man suddenly became a little proud: "You can see by looking at the clothes of those people that they are not fleeing like us at all." They must be people from Datong Mansion. ”

Someone couldn't help but ask, "But, what are the people from Datong Mansion doing here?" ”

The middle-aged man couldn't help but roll his eyes: "What else can I do, we have quite fat porridge to eat here." Although there is only one bowl, these porridges do not cost money after all, and they can save a little. ”

Someone suddenly realized: "No wonder in recent days, I have found that more and more people come to receive porridge, and their feelings are all people from Datong Mansion." ”

"The people of Fucheng are too shameless, they even robbed us of a small amount of food."

"It turns out that the prince mixed sand into the porridge just to prevent those people from stealing food from us. It's a pity that this porridge is not as good as it used to be. I don't want to drink any of the stoves. ”

"Cut, the prince has drunk it, how old can you be more expensive than the prince?"

Zhu Han squatted there and finished drinking the porridge, threw the wooden bowl into the bucket next to him, patted his ass and left.

Liu Shenhong was dumbfounded.

"That's it?"

Before, he was worried about his gray hair, and he didn't expect that he could do this to prevent those people from Fucheng from getting rice porridge.

Although the people of Datong Mansion are not living well, after all, they are very good compared to the refugees.

They brought porridge with sand, and they couldn't eat it.

And for those refugees who can't survive, the sand is just a small problem, and if there is too much sand, just pick it out with your tongue.

No matter how unpalatable it is, it's better than being hungry, isn't it?

"Lord Wang, it's really a clever calculation." Liu Shenhong said with great emotion.

Such a difficult thing, he couldn't think of a way to break his head.

But Zhu Han only thought about it for a while, and he already had the answer, and he went to implement it himself.

"It's just the prince." Liu Shenhong said with some doubts: "Your hard work is in vain now, but you can't tell me to do it, why bother to go out in person and drink those porridges in person." ”

Zhu Han smiled: "You kid, there are still a lot of things to learn." ””

"Well, I suddenly sprinkled sand into the porridge of the people. Even if those people don't say it, they will definitely feel uncomfortable in their hearts. ”

"The refugee camp itself is a desperate place, and we have to be very careful with every decision we make."

"The reason why I went to drink it myself is also to play an exemplary role."

"I, the prince, have done it myself, so naturally others won't have any opinions."
