At the beginning, Fang Hu deliberately mentioned that as long as he was young and middle-aged, he would have to do manual work.

Therefore, there are not many people who are really willing to go, and they are afraid that they will die if they work for a few more days, so it is better to shrink here, so that they can starve to death with two bowls of porridge a day.

Fang Hu took away more than 20 people in one trip, of which three were families, dragging children and daughters, and one was taking the old lady, looking at him as a filial son.

When I arrived at the place, Zhuang Tou was already waiting here.

"Yo, Steward Fang is here, are these people the ones? Anything else? ”

"Not for the time being, wait for two days and then send someone over. We don't have many rooms to prepare, so let's live separately for men and women. How many can fit in a room? ”

"Steward Fang, rest assured, the house is full of Chase shops, which can sleep seven or eight people. If it's a sturdy man, I'll arrange for six people to live together, what do you think? ”

"Cheng, you look at the arrangement. Find someone to let them take a bath first, and then send cotton clothes, and after a while, the young master of Chengye will come over, and how to assign it will be handed over to him. ”

"Yes, the small ones must be arranged."

When Xie Chengye came over again, these people had already washed and cleaned up, and they had also changed into clean cotton clothes, and they looked very energetic.

"If you are willing to work here, come and sign the deed, not a slave, but to sign a ten-year long-term deed, if you don't want to, you can leave now."

"Yes, we do!"

The big guys are not stupid, they are homeless at this time, if they sign the deed, and the main family is an official master, this household registration can be solved, otherwise, they are still homeless now, and they are quite disliked.

After signing the deed, Xie Chengye asked them what they would do and what they were particularly good at, and finally only picked out two women to be responsible for the pulp washing work here, which was also three meals a day, and they were full.

Among the selected women, one is the daughter-in-law of the black-faced man.

The old ones couldn't do the work, so they let them stay here and look at the two little dolls, so that other people could work outside and feel more at ease.

Xie Chengye has now built several greenhouses, and when it snows heavily, the things in his greenhouses will be in short supply.

Now that a wave of vegetables has been harvested, Xie Chengye sorted out a small bundle of small bundles as thick as his wrist according to his uncle's explanation, looking green and bright, and it was very delicious.

I didn't dare to make the mud on the roots too clean, so I was afraid that it would not be released.

Xie Xiuwen sent some vegetables to several elders and acquaintances, and this thing was really comfortable to eat in winter.

Xie Rongzhao's skewer shop also sells green vegetables, but the green vegetables in winter are expensive and not easy to obtain, so there are few on them.

But no matter what time it is, this green vegetable must be the first to be sold.

Xie Rongzhao had a lot of lotus roots stored in the ice cellar before, and they were taken out in the winter, peeled and then cut into slices, whether it was in the fragrant marinated vegetable restaurant or in the skewers, it was a good thing that everyone coaxed.

Xie Xiuwen doesn't really need many people here.

Whether it is in the Zhuangzi or in the house, they are all living normally, that is, they do not add manpower, and they do not hinder anything.

But seeing that these people couldn't survive, he was really ruthless.

Especially when he saw his baby daughter's sad face, he thought that he should simply accumulate good fortune for the good baby, so as not to come over again in the future to ask for the good fortune on the good baby.

Half a month has passed, and Xie Xiuwen's two temporarily built houses in the east and south of the city are full of people.

In addition to the long-term workers recruited from outside, there are also some families in the local villages who have been affected by the disaster.

Of course, these people are only living temporarily, and when the spring of the next year can be repaired, then they will return to their original homes.

Xie Xiuwen doesn't want to publicize these things, but someone will always notice.

Zheng Ge Lao and Wang Qinshan naturally have nothing to say, but they only feel that Xie Xiuwen is like this, which shows that he still cares about the people.

And Xie Huaiyi and the others just think that Xie Xiuwen is just a person who sells his reputation and reputation, a hypocrite!

Emperor Jingwen also saw all the things presented by his subordinates, and felt that Xie Xiuwen's arrangement was reasonable.

Moreover, Xie Xiuwen has never publicized this matter, even if someone asked, he only said that it was his duty as a courtier, although he could not solve the fundamental problem, but he could help the monarch share his worries, and he could be regarded as doing his best.

In this way, it is even more respected by Emperor Jingwen.

Fortunately, this time there was the foresight of Qin Tianjian and the early orders of Emperor Jingwen, so the bad impact of this snow disaster was not great.

The number of people who were actually affected was not too large.

Now that there are various rich and noble families to help share their worries, the pressure on the court is much less.

In fact, Emperor Jingwen is also happy to see it, whether these people are for fame or other benefits, they have solved the difficulties of the common people in a real way, and he feels that other small things do not need to be investigated.

Because the imperial court had made arrangements before, and later dozens of wealthy families took action, the price of grain in the capital did not fluctuate much, but compared with before the winter, it still rose a lot.

The most angry this time should be Xie Huaiyi.

The grain of several thousand stones on the Zhuangzi was sold when he said it was sold.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, I'm afraid he would have to fold in more money.

Because there is less grain in stock, they naturally appear to be stingy when they give porridge outside.

No way, who let them have no confidence.

Take a look at the Xie Mansion on Anping Street, the four pots of thick porridge that day, whether it is corn porridge or white rice porridge, the amount of rice here is full.

Even if you sometimes add some sorghum rice or sweet potatoes or the like, it doesn't hurt, the most important thing is to be able to eat a bowl of hot and thick, which is why you are hungry.

With food in their stomachs, they are naturally less afraid of the cold, and some old quilts they prepared can finally persevere.

This time in the soup kitchen outside the city, it is no surprise that the performance of the Xie Mansion on Anhe Street was not satisfactory, that is, when the Holy Lord praised the courtiers for doing a good job in the court, he ordered more than a dozen adults, and there was no Xie Huaiyi among them.

This made Xie Huaiyi immediately feel ashamed.

As a veteran minister of the two dynasties, Xie Huaiyi could not be calm.

Emperor Jingwen is not a foolish person, for some officials whose family background is not obvious, he can make porridge every two or three days, he feels that it is worthy of trust, after all, how much ability and how big things to do, there is no need to let his family drink the northwest wind for meritorious service.

And Xie Huaiyi's family is also a famous family, rich for several generations, but now he is frequently talked about in the soup porridge outside the city, not to mention that the saint is displeased, but Xie Huaiyi himself also feels that he can't hang on an old face.

How did Xie Huaiyi know that he had lost food and money, and in the end, he would be recognized by the king as a stinger!

What a grievance! (End of chapter)
