Chapter 446: An Unexpected Arrival
On the other hand, the government is also in full swing to prepare to distribute relief food to those farmers.
As early as a few days ago, after the official announcement of the time and location of the relief food, there were one after another Sannong who came to the designated place in advance to wait.
For those Sannongs, as long as they can give themselves and their families a full meal, what is the grievance they receive?
It is precisely because there are so many people who have this idea that many Sannon fights in order to compete for a higher position, and during this period, the government has to send people to maintain order.
At this moment, although it was not yet time for the government to officially distribute relief food, those farmers had already spontaneously lined up in a long line.
If you look down from mid-air, the crowd in line is like a snake that winds and turns and never sees an end in sight.
The crowd was as noisy as usual, and despite repeated reminders from the officials responsible for maintaining order, everyone was expecting to receive enough relief food from the government, so that they could last a little longer.
At least for this time, there is no risk of starvation for yourself and your family.
And Wang Erzhuang, a villager in Wangjia Village, as usual, lined up honestly, waiting to receive relief food from the government.
Earlier, after Wang Erzhuang got the exact news, he rushed to the place where the government distributed relief food, and was extremely lucky to occupy a high position, but the price was that he had slept here for three days!
In the past three days, Wang Erzhuang did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and he had to guard against someone snatching his position every day.
Therefore, he joined forces with the villagers who also planted mulberry seedlings in Wangjia Village, and whenever someone needed to leave temporarily, the remaining people took advantage of the situation to occupy the place and prevent it from being taken away by others.
At this moment, just when Wang Erzhuang was stunned, there was a sudden commotion from the crowd in front of him, and when Wang Erzhuang saw this, the whole person suddenly became energetic, and he couldn't help but guess: "Is it difficult, is it time to officially distribute relief food?" ”
Perhaps to support his conjecture, the voice of the official came from not far away.
"Listen up, line up, come one by one, if anyone dares to cut in line, then he won't want to get food!"
"Listen up, line up......"
With the repeated reminders of the officials, the crowd became more and more agitated, and many people craned their necks to see how many people could take their turn, and for this, there were a lot of disputes.
"Front, lower your head a little, I can't even see it!"
"You can't see what's going on with me, figure it out yourself!"
"You kid is quite sharp-tongued, isn't it undersmoked?"
"Come on, will you try Uncle Ling?"
Scenarios like the one described above are constantly playing out in the ranks, but at the end of the day, the vast majority of people are just playing tricks, after all, no one wants to disqualify themselves from receiving relief food for the sake of short-term gain.
Moreover, the officials who were in charge of maintaining order on the sidelines would immediately step forward to stop the signs of such a thing, so that the crowd quickly calmed down again.
At this moment, Wang Erzhuang looked at the team that was gradually moving forward, and the look of anticipation on his face was even worse, because after a few more people, it would be his turn.
The people in front of the queue had unconcealed smiles on their faces after receiving relief food from the government.
Soon, it was Wang Erzhuang's turn, and the few officials sitting at the table glanced at Wang Erzhuang quite indifferently, and then asked, "Name, hometown?" ”
Wang Erzhuang was already familiar with this, and immediately spoke without thinking.
"Wang Erzhuang, from Wangjia Village."
When the words fell, I saw a Xu official take out the corresponding roster, and after rummaging for a long time, he found Wang Erzhuang's name.
"Well, let's go over there and get food!"
When Wang Erzhuang heard this, his face was full of excitement, and he couldn't stop talking.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
After that, I saw Wang Erzhuang come to the side, take the bag containing grain from the soldier's hand, and after roughly weighing the weight of the bag in his hand, Wang Erzhuang's face was full of smiles that could not be concealed.
Because this time, the relief food distributed by the government is about six liters!
"Now in half a month, I don't have to worry about starvation!"
Wang Erzhuang said this, and immediately looked around vaguely, and after making sure that no one was paying attention to him, he picked up the food and left in a hurry.
Due to the fact that there were so many people who came to receive relief food this time, in order to improve efficiency, the government adopted a strategy of distributing it in turns around the clock.
In this way, two days later, the government finally distributed all this batch of relief grain to the hands of those Sannong.
In the Political Envoy Division, at this moment, the official in charge of distributing relief food is reporting the current situation to Zheng Michang in great detail.
"Your Excellency, this batch of relief food has been successfully distributed!"
After listening to the report of his subordinates, Zheng Michang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately sighed.
"Huh~ This matter has finally come to an end for the time being, these recent things can make this official choke enough!"
After that, I saw Zheng Michang retract his gaze, and then instructed the official.
"Without further ado, you send this news to the Governor's Mansion immediately, and this official wants to let the Governor know about it!"
"Yes, Envoy Servant!"
After listening to Zheng Michang's instructions, the official did not hesitate at all, and immediately answered in a deep voice.
……
In the study room of the Governor's Palace, Hu Zongxian immediately relieved himself and said with emotion after learning the news that the relief food had been distributed from the subordinates sent by Zheng Michang.
"Yes, yes!"
In recent days, Hu Zongxian's spirit can be described as highly tense, and the safety of nearly half of the people who plant mulberry seedlings in Zhejiang is tied to him alone, and he does not dare to relax, nor can he relax!
Just as Hu Zongxian was about to rest for a while, there was a knock on the door from outside.
Seeing this, Hu Zongxian frowned imperceptibly, and immediately commanded.
"Come in!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw a guard walk in, and the moment he entered the study of the governor's palace, he knelt down on one knee and reported respectfully to Hu Zongxian.
"Your Excellency the Governor, the Governor of the Governor is asking to see you outside, saying that there is something important to discuss!"
When Hu Zongxian heard this, a trace of surprise couldn't help but appear on his face, and he withdrew his gaze from the guard's body and said to himself silently.
"What is this Liu Mi doing when he comes to this official at this time, is it possible, is it for that matter?"
After this, I saw Hu Zongxian come back to his senses and give instructions to the guard.
"Well, the official knows, let him wait in the council hall first, and the official will go over later!"
"Yes, Lord Governor!"
After receiving Hu Zongxian's specific instructions, the guard did not stop and turned around and left the room.
After the guard left, Hu Zongxian got up from his chair and marched towards the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion after roughly tidying up his appearance.
