Chapter 537: Screening and Soup Kitchen

Zhen Qian has not relaxed for a moment in the matter of disaster relief and locust control, for long-term considerations, Fujiwara Shuxiong is the most important chess piece to contain Shao Er Dongshang, although Zhen Qian can also find someone else to replace, but after all, both sides are very familiar, and the style of action is also within the acceptable range, so he is really too lazy to change.

As the saying goes: it's better to be raw than cooked!

Belch! What a mistake that sounds! But in fact, people are always like this, with a little coincidence, with a little chance, and a trace of spiritual touch, not everyone can become friends, there are many accidents and uncertainties, this is the will of God!

Some things don't need to be broken, Fujiwara Shuxiong saw that Zhen Qian was a little uncomfortable, and felt a lot of guilt, and after he went back, he sent officials and officials to Zhen Qian to wait for the dispatch, and when Zhen Qian saw the person, he couldn't help but smile at Fujiwara Shuxiong's careful thoughts, and the Japanese official turned out to be his acquaintance Ito, which was a signal to Zhen Qian......

Listening to Kibi Zhenbei's introduction, Ito is a kind and peaceful person, and he belongs to a practical subordinate.

Zhen Qian is not ready to have money and food in his hands, this is a very taboo thing, especially in this very sensitive period, once the public is angry, it is hard to say whether Fujiwara Shuxiong will throw himself out to block the gun. Then he said to Ito: "From today on, all the money and food spent from the Guardian Mansion will be kept by you, and every account must be clear, if there is anything difficult, you can come to me at any time?" ”

Ito glanced at Zhen Qian gratefully, the most difficult thing in disaster relief work has always been the management of money and food, some people want to put their hands on money and food, and some people want to fill their own pockets, but food is related to the life and death of the victims, and the relationship is so sensitive that needless to say, it is often the focus of the game between the two sides, and the management of money and food is almost dancing on the tip of a knife.

Zhen Qian is unwilling to manage money and grain, and Ito is naturally unwilling to manage money and grain, but Zhen Qian is a Shangguan, and now Ito has to listen to Zhen Qian's command, and he is so bitter in his heart!

"How many men do you have to send now?"

Ito's heart was more bitter than eating a lotus heart, hoping that this was not a prelude to Zhen Qian's rectification, Shi Li said: "There are thirty-six officials who can be mobilized by the official office, and fifty more people have been sent by the Guardian Palace, and now a total of eighty-six people are waiting for the dispatch of the envoy!" ”

At the beginning, Zhen Qian asked Fujiwara Shuxiong to ask for a thousand messengers to help, obviously Fujiwara Shuxiong was reluctant to pay, and he was unwilling to send people, so he said: "Judge, you are recruiting some helpers in Matsuura City and the vicinity, what treatment you need, you can do it!" ”

The black line on Ito's face, this can't be done!

Ito is already doubting his life, and the incident of sending Tang Ying's entourage to kill people in a liquor store is strange from the beginning, although Ito is a criminal veteran, he does not dare to disobey Fujiwara Shuxiong's order, and when Zhen Qian personally interrogates the case, Ito does not understand the other meaning, and hurriedly pushes the matter away.

It's just that before Ito could get out of the matter, he was sent to Zhen Qian's side as an errand, isn't this a whole person?

The economy of the Wa Kingdom is inferior to the Tang Dynasty in terms of total volume, scale and degree of development, and the Tang Dynasty also uses copper coins and cloth as the currency in circulation, so you can imagine how the economy of the Wa State is.

However, now the economy of Hizen Province has retreated to the era of grain as the currency in one day, and there is no more valuable and stable commodity than grain in the disaster year, and copper coins have long lost the value of circulation, and the economy of the entire Hizen country has also come to a standstill.

In Matsuura City, copper coins have always been able to hire no helper, but a bucket of rice can break the heads of countless people.

"The lower officials are incompetent, please send the envoy to make it clear!" Ito asked cheekily.

If you don't understand, just ask, Zhen Qian likes such an honest and humble person who asks for advice, and said to Ito: "The guardian gave 5,000 guan and 50,000 stone of grain there, and 5,000 guan may not be of much use in the Hizen country, but in other Linglu countries, you can still buy a lot of grain ......." ”

"I see! The lower officials have been taught! "Ito and many people have never understood why Zhen Qian always asks for money, and now he can't buy food even if he has money in Hizen Country, everyone knows that food is expensive now, but they forget that food can be transported from other places.

"However, Xia Guan knows that the price of grain in the nearby Linglu countries does not seem to be cheap, and I am afraid that it will be ...... no matter how far it goes."

"Huh!" Zhen Qian smiled and said: "I naturally know this, you don't have to bother, I will arrange other people to do the matter of buying food, you are mainly doing two things now, the first is to identify the real disaster victims, and continue to implement cash-for-work, but this time the way of cash-for-work is different, it is no longer to build a city wall, but to collect food and open up wasteland to raise livestock." The second is to send people to various villages and fields to publicize the methods of exterminating locusts, and at the same time organize people to exchange relief grain for locusts. ”

Ito's mouth is bitter!

None of these two things are easy to do, and now the entire Hizen country can be said to be disaster victims, if you have to identify it, at most, the one that is more seriously affected, and the family can't live anymore, and how long can it last.

As for the second thing, when Zhen Qian asked Fujiwara Shuxiong to ask for nearly a thousand errands, I am afraid that this is what he did! Thousands of servants are released, this is a place to be a scourge!

It's a hard life! This is to force people to death! Now Ito is even dying in the heart.

"Greeting and sending envoys! The incompetence of the lower officials, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you! "Ito knows very well how difficult these two things are, a little judge of his own, this is a prelude to roasting on the fire!

"Why did the judge say this, there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of people with hearts, listen to me explain to you slowly!"

After a while, Judge Ito walked out of the Drunken Immortal Tower, the sadness on his face was swept away, and the steps under his feet became steady and powerful, and the whole person was refreshed.

The porridge field was quickly set up around Songpu City, but the hungry people who rushed to hear the news immediately found that the gruel donated by the porridge field was really thin, and the rice grains in the soup could be counted as thin!

"Why is this porridge thinner than a few days ago, is it that the government has embezzled our rations!"

"The hearts of these corrupt officials are too dark! We're going to the Yamen to ...... our case. ”

"That's right! Let the government open a warehouse and release grain, this day can't go on, we have to eat! ”

“……”

Countless victims gathered near the porridge field, shouting about the injustice of the government, complaining and rumors, and for a time the crowd was agitated and had the posture of impacting the government.

When someone was secretly stirring up trouble, a group of soldiers rushed out of the city, and the bright weapons flashed at the starving people, and a widow in official uniform walked to the high place next to the porridge field and said loudly: "Do you want to eat?" Do you want to worry about two meals a day? Then now let the official hear clearly, the heavens have not dropped the pie, and if you want to eat a full meal, you must be obedient and work hard....... ”
