Chapter 16 Superiors and Subordinates
Han Mu said smoothly: "I know that I am a fire pit...... Well? Do you mean I'm not a fire pit? ”
Xiaochan listened to the sidelines, wanting to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
Gu Junruo nodded the table and motioned for him to talk less nonsense and write seriously, "Now that Yixian is so poor, if you don't take it seriously, this piece of paper will be in vain." ”
Han Mu: ...... Is he so poor now that he has to be frugal even for a blank piece of paper?
But his attention was also turned away, and he didn't talk nonsense.
Gu Junruo also became serious, and when he finished copying the fold, he said: "If you hand over this fold, only half of it may be allocated relief food." ”
Han Mu frowned slightly when he heard this, "You mean the Jiang family will stop it?" ”
"If you do a good job of disaster relief, it will also be a merit."
When Han Mu heard this, he was a little angry, "Target me, aim at me, there are so many people in this Yi County, the Jiang family is so public and private?" ”
Gu Junruo said coldly: "Don't you often scold the villain of Yongping Hou?" ”
Han Mu: "I'll just scold ...... like that"
"So what do you say?"
"You go to the letter and resign from the official," Gu Junruo said: "Send it to Beijing together with this letter asking for relief grain, and say that Yixian is too bitter and difficult, the people don't save one out of ten, the treasury is empty, you really can't do the county order of Yixian, and you are willing to send it to the army rather than stay here." ”
Han Mu: "...... Before entering Yi County, I said that I wanted to resign, but you didn't agree, and now I have borrowed food, and you let me resign? ”
Gu Junruo glanced at him condescendingly, Xiaobei was anxious, and hurriedly whispered: "Erlang, this is called retreating as advance." ”
Han Mu immediately threw his erected spine back, "Oh, take retreat as advance, okay." ”
Han Mu honestly wrote another letter of resignation.
After he finished writing here, Master Zhao also found all the officials of the county government, led by the county lieutenant Xue Qizheng, his face was slightly sallow, his steps were vain, and he was hungry at first glance.
Even the county lieutenants of a county are like this, let alone ordinary people.
Han Mu squinted, very puzzled, and when he arrived, he asked directly: "You are so hungry, you didn't think about robbing the Zeng family, the Yue family, and the Yao family?" ”
Lieutenant Xue: ......
He looked up at Han Mu to determine if he was serious, and concluded that he was serious.
He couldn't help but look at Master Zhao, is this what he said he could do?
Rao is master Zhao already knew a little about Han Mu, but he couldn't help but be taken aback, he hurriedly expressed his loyalty and said: "My lord, we are all officials of the Great Zhou, how can we do such illegal things?" ”
Han Mu's gaze swept over the faces of the two of them, and said, "People are extremely hungry, where can they take care of the law?" Etiquette and morality are even more fartful, no one wants to rob it, but it skips you, right? ”
Lieutenant Xue's heart was pounding, but it was not revealed on his face.
Master Zhao said helplessly: "My lord, the people of our Yixian County are very kind, and they will never do such a thing." ”
Han Mu didn't argue with them, he came to his conclusion, waved his hand, raised his chin to look at the officials standing in rows under the hall and said: "Since you all came with me, I think Master Zhao has already explained the reason to you, Master Yue and I borrowed the grain, and we will send it tomorrow, and you will need to preside over the relief of the victims at that time, today we will talk about the regulations for the distribution of relief grain." ”
Immediately behind the county lieutenant Xue, a clerk asked, "My lord, do we officials have relief food?" ”
Han Mu really didn't think about this problem, glanced at them, saw the hunger on their faces, and was about to respond, Gu Junruo suddenly said: "We will first reissue your January money and grain, Master Zhao, the county government owes a few months of money and food?" ”
Master Zhao perked up and immediately said, "I owe it for four months." ”
Han Mu: ...... No wonder everyone didn't come to the Yamen, it turned out that the Yamen owed them salaries.
He touched his nose and nodded: "Yes, when the food and money arrive tomorrow, I will supply you with a month's worth of money and food first." ”
When everyone heard this, they finally became more energetic, and the silent lobby instantly became popular, and began to use their brains to advise Han Mu, "I have to call the various miles to come and talk back, I don't know what the situation in the township is......"
"Tomorrow, let the officials go to find helpers to come and help, there are many people, I am hungry, I am afraid that I will be chaotic when I see so much food, and I have to maintain good order."
"I don't know how much food a person can receive, how can I find out?"
Han Mu said: "How many people are there in the city now? ”
Xue County Lieutenant said: "It should be less than a thousand, even if it is a woman and a child, it will be eight or nine hundred." ”
Han Mu looked skeptical, "So little? ”
Xue County Lieutenant nodded and said: "There is no food in the city, I can't live if I stay, everyone has gone out, outside, there are some weeds and leaves, barely enough to satisfy hunger, and I can last for a while." ”
Han Mu lowered his eyes and thought, "Send the officials out to ring the gong and tell them to return to the city, I want to work for relief!" ”
He said: "So tomorrow there will be two catties of food per person, and one catty of food per child under the age of twelve, and after tomorrow, work will be given in lieu of relief." ”
County Lieutenant Xue asked, "What kind of work are you doing?" ”
Han Mu said: "Clean up the roads and rivers in and out of Yi County, as well as repair the embankments and the county seat. ”
County Lieutenant Xue asked, "What about the women, children and the elderly?" ”
Several of the jobs Han Mu said are suitable for adult men, not for women, children and the elderly.
Han Mu blinked and couldn't help but look at Gu Junruo.
Gu Junruo said: "Women, children and the elderly can also do what they can in it, and cleaning up the streets and taking care of the elderly and weak is also part of disaster relief." ”
"In this flood, the crops in the fields outside were basically destroyed, and the relief grain can be saved for a while, but it is impossible to have it all the time," Gu Junruo said: "Therefore, the washed away fertile land must also be cleaned up, while the time is still early, everyone will plant a season of rice or beans, so that the people will not be sad in winter and spring." ”
Xue County Wei couldn't help but look at Gu Junruo, and finally couldn't help asking, "...... is this?"
Master Zhao hurriedly said: "This is Mrs. County Order." ”
Xue County's face was much kinder, and he nodded: "Madame is right, we have to sow another crop of rice before August, so that we can harvest one season before the cold, and the people will have food for the winter." ”
Master Zhao said: "There are no seeds. ”
Han Mu waved his hand and said angrily: "Buy!" ”
As for where the money came from, Master Zhao did not mention it, nor did the county lieutenant Xue.
Han Mu was able to borrow relief grain from the Yue family when he was poor and white, and there would always be a way to raise money to buy grain seeds.
So let's skip this matter and move on to the next topic.
Specific charters for disaster relief.
The main reason is that Zhao Zhushu and Xue County Lieutenant led the officials to give suggestions, Han Mu and Gu Junruo listened, and from time to time expressed their approval or opposition, and then put forward two points of their own opinions.
There is no way, civil affairs, whether it is Han Mu or Gu Junruo, have no experience.
