After asking the victims about the location of the emergency relief point, Mao Xiang looked for the direction and rushed to the target location.

When we arrived at the place, as the man said, there was a shed built here, but there were very few people in line to receive the porridge.

There is a simple plaque hanging in front of the shed, the emergency aid station, and there is a note below: Do not come here to eat unless necessary.

Mao Xiang walked towards the shed with curiosity, he didn't understand why it was so small when it was an aid station?

If it were a normal situation, the victims would never let go of this opportunity to eat and drink for nothing.

It doesn't take any effort to get something to eat, so why bother working for someone else to get a bite to eat?

When Mao Xiang walked into the shed and saw the things cooked in the pot, Mao Xiang finally understood why no one wanted to come here.

Unless it's a hungry person, or I'm afraid that no one will come back here to eat.

Because it's not what people eat at all.

What is it? Bran, forage or even tree bark?

When Mao Xiang saw the things tumbling in the pot, he only felt that his stomach was also tumbling.

This makes Mao Xiang really unacceptable, where is this for people to eat? That's all for the animals.

"Dog, what are you cooking here? Is this for people to eat? ”

Mao Xiang yelled at the official who was cooking.

He felt that his anger was about to erupt, as if he was about to drown himself.

Who knew that the official squinted at Mao Xiang and said:

"You're right, this isn't really for people to eat!"

"If you want to eat what people eat, you have to do the same work as people."

"Want to eat and drink for nothing? What's the difference between that and a brute? ”

"Since you don't want to be a human and like to be an animal, you naturally have to eat what animals eat!"

Mao Xiang's momentum froze suddenly, as the official said, the government has provided jobs for the people.

As long as the people work hard, they will naturally not worry about eating and drinking.

But if some people are cheating and cheating, and still want to eat and drink for nothing, in order to prevent these people from starving to death, then they can only eat animal things for these people.

Mao Xiang took a deep breath and said:

"But I heard that when you first started the disaster relief, you gave the people this same thing to eat."

The official saw that Mao Xiang's clothes were not like those of the victims, so he didn't bother to take care of Mao Xiang, but said:

"It's just an expedient measure, if you don't eat this thing, please don't delay others here."

"They still want this thing to save their lives!"

Mao Xiang couldn't reveal his identity, so he could only temporarily endure his anger and keep everything that happened in his heart, so that he could report it to Zhu Yuanzhang in the future.

After a few more turns along Yiwu County, Mao Xiang only felt that today's Yiwu County was like a huge construction site.

Both officials and ordinary people are wrapped up in this construction site.

They have a clear division of labor, and someone clears the silt and dredges the river again to avoid possible flooding next year.

Some people renovated the land and reclaimed the fertile land that had been washed away.

Houses were built to build new homes for the people whose houses were flooded.

The feeling of vitality and competition made Mao Xiang feel incredible.

What made Mao Xiang feel even more unbelievable was that the officials of Yiwu County were all taking the lead.

Whether it's building river embankments, clearing silt, clearing fertile land and building houses, these officials are always on the front lines.

Mao Xiang is sure that these people are by no means cheating.

After all, they don't know their identity, let alone their arrival, how can they work hard because of their own observations?

So there is only one explanation, that is, the officials and officials in Yiwu County are all hard-working people from top to bottom.

But how is this possible? As an old fritter in officialdom, Mao Xiang has seen too many officials, and he is naturally clear about the character of these officials.

But all this really happened in front of my eyes, and I had to believe it.

After a few days of observation, Mao Xiang knew that he had to return to the capital and report the matter to Zhu Yuanzhang.

....

Upper study.

After hearing that Mao Xiang had returned, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately summoned Mao Xiang, and he became more and more concerned about what Li Jin had done.

"Mao Xiang, what is the current situation in Yiwu County, quickly and truthfully."

"Your Majesty, everything is getting better in Yiwu County now."

"Not only have the river embankments been repaired, but even the washed out roads and houses and fertile land have begun to be built in an orderly manner, and the situation can be described as very good."

Although Mao Xiang had doubts, he still decided to tell the truth.

After listening to this, Zhu Yuanzhang was relieved and said:

"Oh? Is it? ”

"It seems that this Li Jin really has two brushes, so did any of the people in Yiwu County starve to death?"

Mao Xiang thought about it, he had been there for so many days, and he had never seen a corpse on the side of the road.

Moreover, there is an emergency aid station in the city, and it is impossible to starve to death no matter how you think about it, so he shook his head and said:

"After Li went to Yiwu, he implemented a method called cash-for-work, and so far, I have not heard of people who have starved to death."

"Cash-for-work?"

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao had never heard of this term, and hurriedly asked:

"Tell me in detail, how to work for cash?"

After Mao Xiang told Zhu Yuanzhang about the method of cash-for-work, Zhu Yuanzhang directly took the case and shouted:

"Okay, good!! is a good cash-for-work, this Li Jin is really a genius. ”

"With this cash-for-work relief, in the future, Daming's disaster relief and disaster relief will no longer have to spend so much silver and two dollars on food, and the people will no longer easily starve to death."

"Immediately ask Li Jin to write an excerpt in the method of cash-for-work, and all the disaster relief in the Ming Dynasty in the future must be implemented in accordance with this."

Zhu Yuanzhang directly expressed his appreciation for Li Jin with three good words in a row.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was still a little troubled by Li Jin's corruption before, Li Jin was so talented and could think about the people, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to forgive him.

In a good mood, the corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth almost opened to his ears, and he said with a smile:

"What else does Li Jin have to do? Let's talk about it together, let us and Biaoer also learn from each other. ”

"And a few more."

Mao Xiang was a little hesitant, seeing Zhu Yuanzhang so happy, Mao Xiang really didn't want to ruin his interest.

"Come on, don't be a mother-in-law."

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Mao Xiang not to scruple about it, and quickly said something, after all, he was not the emperor of the small-bellied chicken intestines.

Mao Xiang swallowed his saliva and said:

"There's also an emergency aid station."

"People who are dying of starvation can go there and get food for free."

"Good! This Li Jin is really thoughtful, not bad. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Li Jin was really a great talent, and the work was in line with his own heart.

"It's just that the food isn't very tasty."

Mao Xiang stubbornly continued.

Zhu Yuanzhang's smile froze, and an ominous premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.

"What food?"

"Bran, forage and bark."

Mao Xiang finally finished speaking, but the next second.

An earth-shattering roar suddenly sounded in the upper study:

"Li Jin, you dog officer!!!"
