Chapter 100: Serving the People

'Babbling... Dumb squirming...'

In the Shen Kee grocery store, the brazier in the hall is shining with a slight blue charcoal fire, and the house is full of spring.

"It's still the same sentence, I want all the food, how much comes, I Chen Cao took all the work that they didn't dare to take on the Mu family, you should have heard about the Hangzhou Commercial Bank, this is another lesson from the past, tell them the original thing, let them weigh the weight, for the sake of Wei Guogong's face, I can do a deal with your Yunnan Commercial Bank."

Chen Cao didn't care about her words, let her clean up for herself, and continued: "You still have a year to consider, maybe only half a year to come, if you really pass this village, the little slave (Shen Zhuangling's name in the Mu family), your chance will be gone, I, Chen Cao, am not a good man and a woman." ”

After cleaning up for Chen Cao, Shen Zhuangling blushed and smiled: "Look at what the uncle said, the slave family didn't say that he didn't follow the uncle, since the uncle asked for the slave family's body, the slave family is the uncle's person, but the uncle also knows that the slave family has been sold to the Qianguo Mansion since he was a child, and it is not easy to come out..."

"Not necessarily..."Chen Cao looked at her coldly: "Anyway, I have told you all the good things, how to choose is your business, time has passed..."

Chen Cao didn't finish speaking, he stood up and asked Shen Zhuangling to buckle his belt: "You have to do it for me now, no matter how much it is a money-making business, it is not to let your shop work in vain, and send it to the camp of the Longjiang Navy Division as usual." ”

Zhao Xin's face changed, and he shook his head again and again: "My subordinates know that they are wrong...", and hurriedly said: "Last time, Liu Weisi's family sent them to Jinling, didn't the uncle on the road ask his subordinates to collect a few?" Now that it has been done, everyone is in the house of his subordinates, and he asked his uncle to go down with his subordinates. ”

"Your house?" Chen Cao raised his eyebrows: "You kid is also bold, won't your wife clean you up?" ”

"How dare she?" Zhao Xin immediately showed his manhood: "Women and Taoists also dare to take care of their own affairs." ”

Zhao Xin's house is two streets away from the Zhenfu Si Yamen, and the back door is Zhengyangmen Street.

"Yo, your kid's house is bright enough..."Chen Cao looked around: "The housing prices on the side of Zhengyangmen Street are not low, and I make a lot of money..."

Zhao Xin laughed: "If it weren't for the uncle, his subordinates would still be living in Xicheng Hutong." ”

Nanjing's Xicheng and Jingshi's Xicheng are both places of dirt, and generally the people who live in this kind of place or hutong are poor, just like before Chen Cao's family had a career.

"Well, yes, I got another 500,000 taels on a trip to Zhejiang, what do you think?" Chen Cao squinted at him and teased.

Zhao Xin hurriedly clenched his fists and smiled: "It's worth following the uncle..."

"What are you arguing about, you bastard..."

At this moment, Zhao Xin's wife walked out of the inner room wearing a somewhat transparent little dress and a big coat and started drinking.

Chen Cao had already vaguely seen some unsightly positions, so he coughed and turned sideways, not looking at his wife.

Seeing this, Zhao Xin immediately scolded: "Bastard thing, uncle came to our house, what kind of body do you dress like this." ”

"Zhao Laosi, I also turned against you..."After scolding, his wife tied the big hat with a smile, and then saluted Chen Cao: "The slave family has seen the uncle..."

"Well, Mrs. Sister-in-law is polite." Chen Cao still leaned sideways and did not move.

Seeing this, Zhao Xin scolded: "Okay, go back to nurse the child, don't ink... Here I am. ”

Zhao Xin's wife pinched him hard, and then turned around and left with a smile, Chen Cao also turned around with a sympathetic expression: "Your son has to be raised well, otherwise who will inherit your family business and title in the future?" ”

"She's like that," Zhao Xin laughed.

"Do you want to take a break, I'll make the decision to find you a better one." Chen Cao raised his eyebrows.

Zhao Xin waved his hand again and again: "Don't you dare, I've been talking about taking a concubine for a long time, if it weren't for your uncle's strong order, she wouldn't let go." ”

"Okay, this time I'm in charge, let you take a concubine as you like, if she doesn't listen, I'll put her into the Sect Division..."

"Ahh

The remaining female dependents of the Liu family were all taken to their homes by Zhao Xin and placed in a wing room on the side of the backyard, and there were five people living in the two connected rooms, all of whom were young people.

Zhao Xin opened the door, and then let Chen Cao go in first, the woman in the room heard that someone came in, and one by one curled up together like little quails, this action suddenly reminded Chen Cao of Zhang Shuhua's mother and daughter.

"Liu Weisi's eldest daughter is married, this is his second daughter, and this is his third daughter," Zhao Xin pointed to two young and beautiful women, and then pointed to the other three who were obviously older than the two of them: "After inquiry, these three are Liu Weisi's concubines, and their average age is around twenty-seven or eighteen. ”

Chen Cao looked around at the three older people, and sure enough, he only liked the slightly older wives, and the three women were still dressed decently, Chen Cao nodded: "I want all three, and his two daughters are for you." ”

"Uncle," Zhao Xin was a little embarrassed: "They are all yellow flower girls, you?" ”

"No," Chen Cao licked his tongue, "I'm not good at that." ”

After the two finished the second distribution, they walked towards the door, and at this time, a captain came and said: "Uncle Qiqi, the convoy carrying corn and grain stopped at a distance of five miles from the barracks, and the houses of the people in the local town were blocked because they were crushed by the heavy snow. ”

"Such a trivial matter also needs to be distracted by the uncle?" Zhao Xin said that he was going to smoke the captain.

Chen Cao stopped and said, "Let's go, let's go serve the people." ”

"Yangchun Town is very close to the military camp, there are about 3,000 households in the town, which is a big town, and it is the intersection of the passage of the canal to the north. Zhao Xin explained to Chen Cao as he walked.

When I arrived in the town, it was indeed as the captain said, because the snow had completely crushed the houses near the intersection, and at the moment only the affected people were packing up their houses.

"This is a common problem," Zhao Xin saw Chen Cao's doubts, so he explained: "They were affected by the disaster, and the Shangyuan County Government would at most let them rescue the disaster on their own, and the county government would not take care of it." ”

"If the army can't win the trust of the people, even if it wins the world in the future, it will only make a wedding dress for others..."

"Uncle?" Zhao Xin whispered when he heard Chen Cao meditating there.

Chen Cao came back to his senses, and then said: "Send an order to the right guard of Nanjing, and let Qi Xianzong lead the team over to repair the houses of the victims in the town." ”

Zhao Xin was stunned for a moment, and then saw that Chen Cao had been looking into the distance with his eyes unchanged, so he arched his hand: "My subordinates will do it." ”

Qi Xianzong did not dare to delay at all when he received the order, and ran towards the town with two soldiers from the Thousand Households with crowbars and shovels.

However....

The purpose of more than 2,000 soldiers here is not to rob things and arrest people, but to help the people on the side of the road to clean up the houses that have collapsed due to snow...

This scene really doesn't look like the behavior of our Daming Guard's army...

"Wang Liusi is in Yangchun Town, Caomin, I have seen adults, but I don't know what adults mean..."Wang Liusi was followed by the respected old people in the town, and there were many people who watched the excitement.

Chen Cao took out the appearance on TV in the past at this moment, and made a picture of caring about the safety of the world: "The people of the Ming Dynasty, no matter who they are, should be protected by my Ming army, the people are affected by the disaster, if they can't deal with it, the people of our army should protect the people under their rule, Ben Bo heard that the town was affected by the disaster, and specially ordered the right guard of Nanjing to help you;

One is to keep you from freezing and starving after the house collapses, and the other is to let the people of my Ming Dynasty know that the army of the guard is not all insatiable guys, you can rest assured, the collapsed house Benbo will let people repair it, and the snow at home can't be handled, as Lizheng, after registering clearly, tell the officer who leads the team, and they will deal with it for you;

If a soldier robs or demands your belongings in the process of clearing the snow, you don't have to worry, just go to Dingwubo's mansion and Benbo will make the decision for you. ”

Wang Liusi was moved after hearing this, and hurriedly knelt down: "The grass people thank Uncle Dingwu for the great kindness of Uncle Dingwu for the people in the town..."

Chen Cao felt that it was not enough, so he said: "If the people in the town are affected by the disaster and cannot eat, Benbo will set up a porridge shed at the entrance of the town, and you can come to eat for free." ”

"Uncle, I heard that the food in Nanjing Youwei is excellent, can we eat the same oily?"

A young man shouted from the crowd.

Chen Cao laughed: "You guys can come, the oil and water pipes are enough..."

"Thank you, uncle..."

"Uncle's great grace..."

A group of people sang praises and virtues, and some old women even took out the incense at home and lit it and knelt down to Chen Cao.

Chen Cao felt that this was the right thing to do, and couldn't help but have a new idea, so he asked the quartermaster to unload a lot of corn flour and immediately make corn steamed buns at the entrance of the town.

"Zhao Xin, you go and inform Xia Yunyi and tell him that Ben Bo asked him to be Xiao He of my Dingwu Army..."

Zhao Xin nodded, got on his horse and left.

Chen Cao looked at the soldiers who were in charge of the rescue and disaster relief under the command of hundreds of households in various departments, and felt relieved in his heart, this is right, and it will be done in the future, not only with the voice of the people, but also in the future....

That is also the weather vane of public opinion.
