Han Mu finished his breakfast, walked out of the county office and saw Gu Junruo and ...... Luo Yu standing beside her.

He pursed his lips slightly, stepped forward, and just heard Gu Junruo say: "The collapsed house needs to be rebuilt, and there are manpower, but there are no materials such as wood and masonry." ”

Luo Yu said: "I know where these things are sold. ”

Gu Junruo sighed, "It's hard to have no money." ”

The money they borrowed from the Yue family basically bought grain with the Yao family.

Han Mu immediately said, "I have it!" ”

Gu Junruo turned his head to look at it and said to Luo Yu: "You go and get busy first." ”

Luo Yu bowed his head and bowed and retreated.

Gu Junruo saved face for him, and waited for someone to go away before saying, "Finally willing to get up?" ”

Han Mu touched his nose and said, "I'm not lazy, it's just that I ate too much wine with Ziyou last night, so I got up late." ”

He looked left and right, and immediately found evidence for himself, "You see Ziyou hasn't gotten up yet, he drank too much last night." ”

"Then you remember what you said here, I won't allow you to drink any more tonight, see if you can get up tomorrow." Gu Junruo said: "Yesterday, Master Zhao has counted that there are 38 houses destroyed by floods in the county, and we have to help the owners repair the houses. ”

"There is a street and three alleys in the place where the flood has caused siltation, and it is difficult to clean up, I have arranged for people to go down, and everything else is fine, but there are a lot of materials needed to repair the house, and I have roughly calculated that it requires a lot of money."

Han Mugang got the luggage sent by the family, and said with a lot of money: "I have money!" ”

"Your little money is not enough to build all the houses, and besides, we are giving out copper coins in cash, not food, where do you guess our copper coins come from?"

Han Mu was stunned, pointed his finger at his nose and said, "My money? ”

Gu Junruo nodded, "Early this morning, I have already asked people to carry a box of silver out to exchange for copper coins, but there are many people who participate in the cash-for-work exercise, and now there are 1,286 people in the statistics, one day is the least wage, that is also ten wen, that day is 12,860 yuan, ten days is more than 120,000, the actual number will only be more, not less, so we must prepare more money to prepare, in addition to ......"

"Wait," Han Mu stretched out his hand to interrupt her words, and asked with a pair of puzzled eyes, "Although I think we are quite rich now, but the cash-for-work is paid with copper coins, so how rich do I have to be to support it?" ”

Gu Junruo: "We are taking living money, not dead money." ”

She said: "After they get paid, they naturally want to buy grain to eat, not to go to the Yao family's grain store, that is, to the grain point of our county government." ”

"And the grain point of our county government, with the certificate of work, everyone can buy a bucket of grain from the grain point every day, and the price of grain is slightly lower than that of Yao's grain shop, so won't the copper money come back to us?"

Han Mu nodded stunned, and found that it was true.

Gu Junruo said: "So we only need to prepare about 100,000 yuan to ensure the effective operation of the cash-for-work scheme, so that the food we buy can also reach the victims smoothly." ”

"But then there is not enough material to buy materials to repair the houses, and the damage is also huge in all villages outside the city, some villages are submerged, and when the flood waters reced, most of the houses have collapsed and need to be rebuilt."

"It all takes money," she said. ”

Han Mu: "That...... Shall we borrow a little more? ”

Gu Junruo: "The Yue family won't borrow it, and the county order is not like this, how can you borrow money to get by?" ”

Han Mu: "Then I can only ask the court for money, but do you think the court will give me money?" ”

Han Mu was directly discouraged, "This road must not work." ”

"How do you know it won't work if you haven't tried?" Gu Junruo reminded: "My father is the left servant of the household department. ”

Han Mu looked left and right, lowered his voice and asked, "Do you want to repair the book and go back and ask your father-in-law to help you with favoritism?" ”

Gu Junruo: "...... This is not favoritism, but impartiality, so that Yixian County will not be treated unfairly because of you. ”

"But we really can't put our hope on the relief of the imperial court, we have to find our own way."

Han Mu: "What else can we do, we can't conjure up money out of thin air." ”

Gu Jun thoughtfully, "Actually, it's not impossible. ”

"Huh?"

Gu Junruo pulled him back to the county government and said: "I asked Master Zhao about it, in fact, there are many rich families in Yi County, among which the richest ones are naturally the Yao family, the Zeng family and the Yue family. ”

"I think there should be a lot of people in the county who love their reputation as much as the Zeng family's family, especially the merchants, so I want to raise donations with them."

This Han Mushu, every Chongyang Festival and the New Year's Festival, his mother also has to donate money and materials, "This lady comes, find a time to invite the wives of each family to come over to talk, but what if there are not many donations?" ”

Gu Junruo said: "I think it's more appropriate for you to do this." ”

Han Mu: "Huh? ”

"Me?" Han Mu frowned, "I remember that my mother came forward every time my family donated money, and my father never donated money." ”

"This time is different, we are asking people to donate money, but it seems to be forced to donate, and we can't raise much," Gu Junruo said: "So I want you to come forward, and when the time comes, let people set up a tablet on the side of the county government announcement wall to write the amount of donations from each family." ”

Han Mu pondered for a moment, and had to give a thumbs up and said, "You are still amazing, they love their name, and they will definitely donate." ”

Han Mu was about to move, and he also wanted his name to be recorded on the tablet, so he waved his hand and said, "I will donate too, I will donate one hundred taels, we should have one hundred taels, right?" ”

Gu Junruo: "...... You can't donate. ”

"Why not?"

"The name of the county order is above, how can the people below donate? And there are people who don't want to make this fame, and they have to donate when they see your name. ”

Han Mu: "Why is it so troublesome, what are they thinking about all day long, what am I hindering them above?" ”

Han Mu scratched his head, he still wanted to write his name, this is a stele, it can be recorded in the county chronicles and passed on, and the stele can be long.

It would be nice if there was such an event in the capital.

"Why don't I take a fake name and engrave it?"

Gu Junruo was very curious, "Then what are you trying to do?" With a hundred taels of silver just to carve a false name on it? ”

"I know that it is me, and on the monument, don't you think it is very glorious? As long as the monument can be well preserved, it may be able to be passed down for thousands of years. ”

This is too daring to think, but Gu Junruo saw that he was so persistent, and he was even more firm in this idea, "If you are still like this, others will definitely love fame more, and the fundraising should be successful." ”
