Chapter Ninety-Seven: Shen Dashan Man

She was afraid that the smell of blood would attract more powerful beasts, so she didn't care about being injured, so she carried her fainted son all the way down the mountain.

drove all the way back to Huaicheng, and finally fainted outside the city gate.

"Niangniang, you should not go out of the house in the future, it is dangerous outside, and we will be scared as soon as you go out."

Begonia said complaining words in her mouth, but the drugged hand was cautious for fear of hurting her. Xu Weiqiu didn't know that she was feeling sorry for herself, although the wound was painful, her heart was warm.

Under the careful care of the girl Begonia, Xu Weiqiu was already able to go to the ground three days later. She quietly glanced at her son, and was relieved to see him jumping around in the yard as if he were all right.

After two more days, she thought about the business outside, and randomly found an excuse to go out of the palace again.

Huaicheng, which is bustling on weekdays, is a little different from the past, and there are many ragged beggars on the streets.

She asked the groom who was driving the car what was going on, and the groom told her that it was the southeast region that had been infested by insects, and that Huaicheng had flooded into a large number of displaced refugees.

When she came to her business, she had not yet come out of the carriage when five or six refugees rushed to beg her.

Among these refugees are two or three-year-old children, all of whom are yellow-skinned and skinny.

God pity you.

Seeing this, Xu Weiqiu was moved with compassion, picked up some broken silver and distributed it to these people, but unexpectedly, when the refugees not far away saw that there were two silver hairs in this place, a large number of refugees suddenly rushed up and surrounded them.

For a while, Xu Weiqiu was difficult to get out, but in the end, Xiao Li rushed to the scene when she heard the sound, and led the nursing home in the business to help her out of the siege, and she was able to retreat.

Xu Weiqiu looked over the railing on the second floor of the shop and saw the refugees on the street, some of whom had fallen to the ground with hunger, and there were moans and shouts everywhere.

There are already so many refugees in a single shopping street, which shows that the situation is not optimistic.

Unable to watch these refugees starve to death on the streets, she decided to open a warehouse to release food.

Her business name is involved in the grain and oil business, and if you want to store grain, the government in Huaicheng may not have as much as she has.

She has always been a person who says she will do it, and immediately instructed Xiao Li to gather several stewards of the business, and made the decision to open a granary and set up a porridge shed for disaster relief.

Soon, six simple porridge shacks were erected, and in the evening, food was already being distributed to the refugees.

That night, Xu Weiqiu went to inspect several porridge shacks, and was very relieved to see that the refugees were lining up in an orderly manner to receive porridge, and there were fewer people crying on the street.

At that moment, she decided that she would keep the porridge shack open as long as the refugees needed it.

However, three days later, a person in charge came to report to her, saying that the number of people receiving the porridge had suddenly surged, and after sending people to investigate, they learned that there were many ordinary people in Huaicheng who were greedy for small and cheap money, and even pretended to be refugees to receive porridge.

When Xu Weiqiu heard this, she fell into deep thought, she had heard of this kind of thing, and she had also heard that there were soup kitcheners who added sand and gravel to the porridge in order to avoid such a thing.

But she felt that this method was good, but it was too inhumane.

After thinking about it, she wrote a letter and asked her to send it to the Pingshitang branch and hand it over to Zeng Fengyuan.

Not long after, Zeng Fengyuan led his men to deliver several truckloads of herbs she needed.

Xu Weiqiu explained to the people below, how to deal with the amount of these herbs, then walked up to Zeng Fengyuan and patted him on the back with one hand: "Brother Zeng, I have to trouble you to run again in a few days." ”

As soon as she touched her hand, the muscles on Zeng Fengyuan's face twitched a few times, and the tail of his eyes secretly glanced at her, and he arched his hand and said, "Doctor Shen is saving people, I am a doctor, and I should do my part." ”

Xu Weiqiu looked at him with a strange expression: "Why did you suddenly speak in a crepe?" ”

Seeing her put one hand on her shoulder, Zeng Fengyuan's face changed slightly, and he didn't retreat for a while, nor did he retreat.

Xu Weiqiu didn't notice his face, and said very boldly: "Shunyi Building is nearby, how about it, let's go there for dinner today, eat your favorite osmanthus fish." ”

As soon as Zeng Fengyuan heard that there was something delicious, he would never be polite to him. So as she spoke, she went and took him by the elbow, but the man avoided him.

Then he bowed down to himself and said with a look of embarrassment: "Doctor Shen, there is still something in the semicolon, forget it today." ”

"Something about the semicolon? That's fine. Xu Weiqiu enthusiastically sent people to the car.

When the people walked away, the smile on Xu Weiqiu's face gradually disappeared.

She could clearly feel that Zeng Fengyuan's attitude towards herself was very different from the past, why did this person become polite when he said something to herself?

Say it yourself, he replied, in a proper manner, no longer as hippie and smiling as in the past, for a while Xu Weiqiu was very inexplicable...... How did this man suddenly change his sex?

--------------------

Zhao Yan entered Beijing to solve the problem of the displaced people.

After his intervention, the imperial court has decided to allocate special funds for the establishment of relief stations.

I thought that after going out of the city for a few days, the whole Huaicheng had been made miserable by this large influx of refugees.

Unexpectedly, when I entered the city, I saw a peaceful scene, and the refugees roamed the streets without any excesses. Even the wailing in the streets was much less than when he left the city.

It shouldn't be......

Zhao Yan was full of doubts, turned his head to the deputy on the side and ordered, "Meng Qi, go and inquire about what's going on?" ”

Meng Qi left in response, and came back not long after to report:

"Back to His Highness, there is a wealthy merchant surnamed Shen in the city who has opened six porridge sheds to give porridge to the refugees."

When Zhao Yan heard this, he raised his eyebrows: "Oh, there are such kind-hearted people? ”

Meng Qi nodded: "It is reported that this porridge shack has been open for more than ten days, and almost all refugees who enter the city can receive food to wrap their stomachs. ”

Merchants, who have always been unprofitable and unprofitable, have only seen such a merciful and benevolent person in books.

For a while, Zhao Yan's interest was aroused.

"Where is the porridge shed?"

"Not far ......away," Meng Qi stretched out his hand and pointed: "There is one in the open space not far from the street on the right." ”

Zhao Yan jumped and got off the horse: "Let's go, let's take a look......"

Meng Qi nodded, leading the way in front, the two of them were strong, walking like the wind, and soon walked to the vicinity of the porridge shed.

Before it was time to put the porridge, there were already a large number of refugees waiting for the soup kitchen to open, and Zhao Yan roughly estimated that the line was nearly two or three hundred meters long.

There are men, women and children in the queue, all kinds of people, and the queue is noisy and bustling.

Zhao Yan was not in a hurry to move forward, he and Meng Qi stood next to the team and waited.
