Chapter 123: Arrange for Transfer
And Wei Ruo is worried that the next rain will be heavier, and the temperature will continue to drop.
"Okay, miss, I'm fine, I'll go wherever you go!" Xiumei replied without hesitation.
"There is also the batch of charcoal I purchased in Huzhou before, I remember that at that time, in addition to coal and good quality silver bone charcoal, there was also a batch of black carbon of bad quality, which was also purchased at a low price."
Coal is suitable for burning kang boilers, while charcoal is generally used for daily heating at home in the south. Silver bone charcoal and black charcoal both belong to charcoal, but the smoke produced when burning is different, and the price difference is relatively large.
"Yes."
"I went back and sent a letter to the nurse, asking her to keep this part of the charcoal, I was going to give this batch of charcoal to the poor people in need for free, we didn't spend much money when we bought it, but according to the current situation, even the price of this inferior charcoal is unaffordable for many families." Wei Ruodao.
"Miss, I heard that Madame is in a hurry to buy charcoal, this year's cold wave came early, and the house, like many people, has not had time to buy it."
"Ignore them first, no matter what the Wei family says, it will definitely be a good life in Xingshan County, but for the Wei family, life is just a little sader, and the money is tighter, which is fatal for many people." Wei Ruodao.
Wei Ruo and Xiumei made a little preparation and went out.
Before going out, Xiumei added several clothes to Wei Ruo. Fortunately, the clothes they brought back from Mojiazha were thick, and although the style was simple, the warmth effect was very good.
Wei Ruo came to the Zhixian Yamen, because of the affairs in the south of the city, most of the officials of the Zhixian Yamen knew Wei Ruo, so they invited her in and went to inform Qian Zhixian.
Qian Zhixian has also been very busy these days, but when he heard that Wei Ruo asked to see him, he still put down what he was busy with to see him.
"What is the so-called matter that Miss Wei came to me today?" Qian Zhixian didn't have time to be polite with Wei Ruo, so he went straight to the point.
Thinking that Wei Ruo could brave such a heavy rain to come to him, he must not be here to gossip.
"It's for the people in the south of the city, who now live next to the fields, and those thatched huts are too simple, leaking rain and wind so badly that they can easily be flooded or collapsed. I hope that Lord Qian will arrange for someone to move them to a safe place as soon as possible. Wei Ruo said.
Qian Zhixian slapped his head suddenly: "How did I forget about them!" ”
In recent days, Qian Zhixian has been dizzy by all kinds of things, the lake is overflowing, and there are bridges collapsing, all kinds of things are endless, and for a while I didn't think that there were still some people in the south of the city.
That's all human life!
"I'm going to send someone to transfer them to the yamen! The yamen has a warehouse where you can store some people! ”
Saying that, Qian Zhixian hurriedly called the master and told the master to immediately take people to transfer the people in the south of the city.
"I'll go too." Wei Ruodao.
"Miss Wei, this is not good, because it has been raining for days, the south of the city is muddy, and with such heavy rain, the weather is cold, it is not good in case of cold." Qian Zhixian persuaded him.
"I'm fine, I'm dressed very warmly, I don't know much better than those people in the south of the city, you let me go, I'm afraid that they are worried that the wheat that has just emerged will not leave, and it will be more effective for me to persuade them."
And that makes sense.
"Alright then, I'll let the servants keep you safe." Qian Zhixian then told the officials who went with him to protect Wei Ruo's safety.
Wei Ruoke was a person valued by the Seven Princes, and he didn't dare to let her do something in his hands.
Arriving in the south of the city in a carriage, Master Chen first asked Wei Ruo to stay in the carriage, and he first led people to persuade the people to leave.
Wei Ruo didn't listen, he got out of the carriage directly, put on the same robes as everyone else, and rushed to the people's residences.
"Master, you will take care of me first, let's hurry up and transfer everyone away, and when it gets dark, it will be more troublesome, I'm afraid that it will rain heavily tonight, and I'm afraid that the temperature will drop again."
After listening to Wei Ruo's words, the master did not dare to delay, and hurriedly took the officials into action.
Except for the official road, the other paths in the south of the city have only recently been reclaimed and trampled on, and they have become muddy after the rain.
When Wei Ruo walked into the first house, it was a bamboo house made of bamboo, the room was very simple, and there was a bed on the left hand side of the door, which was also made of bamboo.
In the whole room, only the roof above the bed is reinforced, and there is no leakage, and the rest of the room also leaks in the east and west, and the rain is dripping.
The three grandparents and grandchildren in the house hugged each other tightly, curled up on the bed, a cold and hard quilt wrapped around the three of them, and the two old men protected the children in the middle.
At this moment, Wei Ruo regretted that he had come late, and he had known that he should have come when it had just rained for two days.
When it first fell, Wei Ruozhen didn't know that this rain was so heavy that it would cause so many problems.
According to the memory of the original owner, Wei Ruo only knew that it was early in winter this year, and there was a rain, and he didn't know how the poorest people spent this year.
The original owner was patronizing and angry with his family at that time, and he didn't go out, and he didn't care much about the rain, so he didn't know these details.
Wei Ruo asked the three of them to go with him: "You come with us, the magistrate has arranged a temporary shelter for you to shelter from the wind and rain." ”
The old man shook his head: "No, our crops have just been planted, I have to watch, what if the rain is heavy and the seedlings are flooded?" ”
"Don't worry, even if this batch is flooded, I can get you a new batch to plant." Wei Ruodao.
"It's too late to plant any more, the time is wrong." Old Uncle Dao.
"Don't worry about this, I will find you late wheat seeds, and I will help you improve the planting later, and I will make sure that they grow well!" Wei Ruo assured the old man.
The old man looked at Wei Ruo and hesitated.
Wei Ruo continued: "Don't you still believe in my ability? Don't you see all the rice grown in your field? Is it later than other rice fields, but more productive than other rice fields? ”
"If you go with us now, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your wife and your little grandson, if you suffer from the cold and suffering, what's the point of your harvest being harvested?"
Wei Ruo's persuasion worked.
The old man hurriedly got off the bed, holding his wife with one hand and his grandson with the other.
They put on straw sandals on the ground, and the ground was covered with rain, and their feet were soaked directly in the cold water.
Wei Ruo and Xiumei came forward to help the old man hold his grandson and support the old lady.
After handing over the family to the officials, they rushed to the next family without stopping.
