Chapter 134: It's a pity that it's not his official
However, when the people sent by Qin Jixian inquired, they were a little embarrassed.
It was only because the stones were transported from Qingzhou Mansion, and the person who built the ferry was the magistrate of Yuhe County, who was also affected by the disaster on the other side, and the people built the ferry to facilitate the transportation of food to those refugees.
As for where the food came from, the people sent by Qin Jixian also inquired.
The magistrate of Yuhe County has many fields in Qingzhou Mansion, and he was originally born as a grain chief, and he was also very angry, and the imperial court did not give a grain of disaster relief grain, and he was stunned to raise refugees for several months, and he almost lost money and couldn't make money.
Qin Jixian didn't believe it when he heard this, but when his henchmen analyzed what the county governor on the other side had done from the beginning of the flood to the present, no matter how it was calculated, he couldn't help but sigh at the moment.
This person can work hard to be an official, he has never heard of being an official and losing money himself, he is really the first fool in the world.
However, he also admires it very much, after all, he, who is a prince, is not so capable.
Well, it's not that he doesn't have that much ability, but he has his own army to support, unlike Shen Jingcheng, who feeds his whole family and doesn't go hungry, has so many fields, and it is natural for his family to support refugees.
What's more, Shen Jingcheng is not all about raising refugees, didn't the refugees also work for him to open up wasteland? In this way, it is difficult to say whether it is a loss of money or not!
It's just a pity, that person is not an official of his Yanzhou Mansion, if this is from Yanzhou Mansion, how worry-free he should be now!
However, who said that if he is not an official of Yanzhou Mansion, he can't do things for him Yanzhou Mansion?
Thinking of this, Qin Jixian's eyes lit up.
You must know that your side is far closer to Qingzhou Mansion than Yuhe County on the other side, and it is also much more convenient.
"Go and spread the news, just say that there are people in Shenjia Village, Qingshan County, Qingzhou Prefecture, who are looking for hired workers, and the refugees used to be able to earn a mouthful of food, which is better than here and the clear soup with little water to provide relief food." Qin Jixian said thoughtfully to his henchmen.
It's a pity that he has no other brothers who are divided into Qingzhou Mansion, as the prince of Yanzhou Mansion, and the old emperor is suspicious, he doesn't dare to directly let the prefect of Qingzhou Mansion transport stones to him, otherwise, he can still get the remaining stones from Shen Jingcheng, and the speed of filling the ditch will be faster.
Qin Jixian's henchmen quickly spread the news, and in addition to the strong laborers who were preparing to build the embankment by the river, the refugees in Yanzhou Mansion also began to move like ants, slowly heading towards Qingzhou Mansion in twos and threes.
A few days later, when Fu Yu brought the news with the grain, Gu Jin and Shen Jingcheng were a little stupid.
Even if they hadn't been to Yanzhou, they knew that the disaster there was much more serious than here, so many refugees, they didn't go to Qingshan County early or late, and suddenly they rushed to that side, no matter how you look at it, it's not right.
"I've inquired, and someone spread the news that we are looking for hired workers over there, and those people have just passed." Fu Yu wiped his sweat and said to the two.
"Do you know where the news is spreading?" Shen Jingcheng asked.
"I didn't know." Fu Yu shook his head and asked, "Could it be that these refugees who came back said it?" ”
"Probably not." Gu Jin frowned and said: "Those people went to repair the embankment when they came back, and when they came back, they also crossed the river directly from the downstream, and it is impossible to have an intersection with Yanzhou Mansion, unless someone from Yanzhou Mansion has been to Qingshan County, or someone has come here from Yanzhou Mansion, but now is the time to be busy repairing the embankment, who will cross the river with nothing to do?" ”
Gu Jin's words fell, and everyone was silent, this matter really didn't make sense.
"It doesn't matter who spreads the news now, what matters is that so many refugees come to Shenjia Village, what should we do, our food is not enough to support so many people, and if one doesn't get it right, there will be chaos." Gu Jin saw that several people were silent, and he wrinkled his eyebrows and spoke again.
"Let's reduce the cost of hiring." Shen Jingcheng took a deep breath and said: "The original treatment of hired workers remains the same, and the refugees in Yanzhou Mansion only have to eat, and they don't have one liter of food a day, so they don't like to do it. ”
"Will this ...... cause dissatisfaction among the refugees in Yanzhou Prefecture?" Gu Jin asked worriedly.
"If you are dissatisfied, go back to Yanzhou Mansion, or go to a place that they are satisfied with, and they are used to eating if they still don't think the food is cold." Shen Jingcheng was not in a very good mood: "I'll write another letter to the magistrate of Qingshan County, let him take care of it, it's also his merit to do it well." ”
Gu Jin was slightly relieved when he heard this, it would indeed be better to have the government to take care of him.
At this moment, Jiang Zhengshu suddenly opened his mouth: "Why don't I go back, there are so many refugees, even if they are taken care of by the government, I am afraid it will not be easy to manage." ”
"That'...... Just trouble sir. Shen Jingcheng said and got up and gave him a deep salute: "No matter what the matter is, you must always take care of your body, and you must not be tired." ”
"Got it, long-winded."
After Jiang Zhengshu finished speaking, he got up and went to the front yamen to clean up his salute, and Fu Yu also got up to say goodbye and prepared to go back to the grain shop, and before going out, he looked at the room where Gu Xiu was without a trace, and saw that the girl was bowing her head and coaxing the little baby to laugh, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but hook slightly.
"Why don't I go back, after all, Mr. is old, and I'm afraid I'll be tired from running around on the road." After a few people left, Gu Jin raised his head and discussed with Shen Jingcheng.
"It's still sir, you're a woman, even if you're the master, managing refugees may not be convincing. The gentleman is different, firstly, he is a man, and secondly, most people will believe the old man, and it will be much easier to manage those people than you are. Shen Jingcheng said and began to take the letter paper, preparing to write a letter to the magistrate of Qingshan County.
In fact, there is one most important sentence he did not say.
That is, Xiao Youping hasn't quit milk yet, if Gu Jin goes back, then the child will definitely follow, there are everyone among the refugees, and he is afraid that something will happen to their mother and son.
Gu Jin thought that this was indeed the case, so he didn't insist anymore, and hurriedly rolled up his sleeves and began to grind ink for him.
Yes, this is the way of the world, men and women do the same thing, men will always be easily convinced, while women will have to spend a lot of effort, but they may not be able to achieve the same results.
Sometimes she envies Gu Ling'er in the era when she came over, the book says that men and women are equal there, as long as they work hard, whether they are men or women, they will get the same treatment.
In this way, Jiang Zhengshu followed Fu Yu back to Qingshan County, and before Fu Yu left, Shen Jingcheng handed him the letter to the magistrate of Qingshan County, and at the same time explained that he was distributing some words in Yanzhou Mansion.
The general meaning is that the reason why the immigrants in the past were treated well was because his master was the county magistrate of Yuhe County, so he would naturally treat the people under his own jurisdiction better, and now his family has not much food, and it is not easy to manage the food, and it is not possible to get the same treatment as the refugees in Yuhe County, so it is recommended to try it elsewhere.
Fu Yu was still very reliable, and immediately spread the news after crossing the river, and as soon as the news came out, the refugees who were about to go to Yanzhou Mansion a few days later immediately retreated.
If it's just the person who takes care of the work to eat, then there is no point in them going, after all, they are all old and young, and only one person is full, how can the others live?
It's better to stay in Yanzhou Mansion, at least the whole family has a bowl of clear soup and little water to drink.
