Chapter 229: Thanksgiving

In Guobei City, although there has been a lifeless appearance these days. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

But today, the city is bursting with life again.

On the streets of various parts of the city, huge iron pots were erected, and the hot water was boiling in the iron pots, and people next to them kept throwing handfuls of turquoise jujube leaves into the iron pots.

After boiling, the soup was then distributed to the people who had been stricken with the plague.

The people have been tormented by the plague for a few days, their bodies are weak, their faces are sick, and they are covered with pus, but fortunately, the plague has not happened for a long time, although the condition has deteriorated, but there are very few people who die of disease, and now the good prescription for the plague has been spread, plus Li Xiuyuan eliminated the Yin soldiers at night, and the ghost sent to sow jujube trees everywhere, and told the dream of the cure for the plague.

Now the epidemic in various places has been quickly controlled.

Li Xiuyuan, a few friends and guards walked on the street, looking at the people queuing up to receive the soup in turn, the tense nerves in their hearts finally relaxed.

This time the disaster has finally been completely subsided.

"Brother Li, thanks to you this time, if you hadn't found a cure for the plague in time, the people of the whole city would have been spared this time. Wang Ping, a fellow scholar, spoke.

"Not only the people of the whole city, who knows how many places this plague has spread and how far it has spread, even the imperial court has given up disaster relief and rescue, leaving the people of this area to fend for themselves. ”

Zhu Yu on the side shook his head helplessly and said: "I have read the sage books to the fullest, but the court is so mediocre and incompetent, I really don't know what I have learned in this body?"

"It can't be said that it is precisely because there are too many mediocre officials in the imperial court that we have to gain fame and fame for the benefit of the people. Ning Caichen said seriously.

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "This world has become bad, some people can avoid the world, some people can not do anything, but we can't, since we were born in this era and embarked on the road of becoming officials through the imperial examination, we have the responsibility to change the way of this world, do you also want to go with the flow and do nothing for a lifetime? The big husband is alive, there are things to do, there are things not to do, you should not sigh and give up on yourself, this is a woman, not a big husband. ”

Li Gongzi's words are reasonable. The scholar who was traveling next to him shouted.

"Yes, this world has become bad, we have the responsibility to change this world, and the situation in this city is the best witness, if it is not for your concerted efforts, how can there be the survival of all the people today?"

"Brother Li, with these words, no matter where Brother Li is or when he is in the future, it is worth following us, and we can be indispensable in this world, but Brother Li is indispensable. ”

Several other scholars were young and enthusiastic, and they were full of spirit, and they were infected by Li Xiuyuan's words.

Li Xiuyuan smiled: "There is still a long way to go, so we should encourage you together." ”

His way really needs a group of like-minded people to walk together.

At present, Zhu Yu, Wang Ping, Ning Caichen and other scholars have gathered together because of various things and coincidences, this is the like-minded person given to him by God, with them, Li Xiuyuan feels that he is not alone.

After taking a turn in the city, seeing that everything was improving, Li Xiuyuan was relieved.

The rest of the things can be handed over to the subordinates, let Zhu Yu and Wang Ping manage them, and they can retire with success.

The big things have been solved, and the remaining small things can't be left to worry about.

When he returned to the house with the guards, he saw that the front of the house was full of all kinds of food.

Another basket of eggs, there are several fresh chickens and ducks, some vegetables and fruits, and some made steamed buns, buns and the like, and even some bacon, mushrooms and other mountain goods.

Lu Bo was beckoning a few guards from the house to move these things in.

"What's the matter, why are there so many gifts stacked at the door?" Li Xiuyuan strode over and asked curiously.

Lu Boshi gave a salute: "The eldest young master, these things were sent by the people in the city, they remembered that the eldest young master had rescued people and quelled the plague, and they were grateful in their hearts, so they specially sent these gifts to repay the eldest young master's kindness, the old slave had already cleared a batch before, this is the second batch." ”

The words are not finished yet.

Then a woman led the child to the courtyard wall of the Li Mansion, put down a basket of steamed buns, and then knelt down with the child, kowtowed to the Li Mansion a few times, and then left in a hurry.

"The people of the city have been plagued and plagued, and they are not rich, and although these things are a piece of the people's heart, they are too burdensome for the people now. Li Xiu said from afar.

Lu Bo said: "The old slave said it, but he can't stop it, the old slave sees that this is only the beginning and there will be more in a few days." ”

Li Xiuyuan muttered: "Then take it, go back to a banquet, invite the people in the city to eat, by the way, the previous ten taels of monthly money will be sent down, the disaster has passed, there are many places that need money, and the people have to have some spare money in their hands." ”

The old slave wrote it down. Lu Bo said.

"Wu Fei, the batch of silver money in Wangchuan Mountain hasn't been used up yet. Li Xiuyuan asked suddenly.

Wu Fei walked out and said, "The eldest young master said that the 90,000 taels of silver that were transported to Wangchuan Mountain last time, yes, this silver tael did not use up a cent." ”

"Take a trip to Wangchuan Mountain, bring the silver, and go now. Li Xiu said from afar.

"Yes, young master. ”

Wu Fei responded, immediately prepared a fast horse, and then left quickly.

After ordering some more things to go down, Li Xiuyuan was idle.

It is said to be idle, but it is not idle.

In the past few days, Li Xiuyuan has to look at the situation in the city every day, and seeing that the epidemic in the city is being quickly cured, his mood has become more and more relaxed, and from time to time he has a few drinking parties with Wang Ping, Zhu Yu, Ning Caichen and other scholars.

If this had been before, I would definitely not be in this mood.

But there are also a lot of aftermath things.

Within a few days, Wu Fei brought in the money.

And the epidemic of the people has also improved.

Li Xiuyuan informed the people in the audience that all the short-term workers who accepted the employment of the Li family during the disaster relief could come to the door of the Li Mansion to receive the monthly money.

Calculate the time, and the time of the month is just around the corner.

Li Xiuyuan did not miss the appointment.

In the early morning of this day, there was a sea of people in front of the Li Mansion, and the people gathered.

A dispatched account manager, holding the roster at this time, shouted loudly: "Qi Dong? Qi Dong came to collect the money." ”

"Here it is, here I am. A man named Qi Dong hurriedly squeezed over and raised his hand.

The guy next to him handed him ten taels of money.

"Thank you, thank you. This man named Qi Dong took the monthly money, surprised and delighted, and then thanked Dade and knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Fu a few times, and then quickly returned to the crowd.

There was a woman in the crowd holding her child, and when she saw that her man had received ten or two months of money, she was also happy to close her mouth, and she only felt that there was hope for her future life.

"Liu Er, where is Liu Er? The bookkeeper shouted again.

Soon, another man squeezed over excitedly: "Here, here." ”

Liu Er quickly received the money, and he was also elated, but he didn't forget to bow down to the Li Mansion a few times, grateful for the kindness of the Li family.

The people in the city all understood that if it wasn't for Li Xiuyuan's disaster relief this time, if it wasn't for Li Xiuyuan's cure of the plague, the people in the city would have to die, and the people remembered this kindness.

The matter of distributing monthly money is fair and just, so Li Xiuyuan counted it truthfully in front of the people, so that no one doubted it, this was a letter.

"Zhou Da, Zhou Da, come to receive the monthly money. ”

"It's coming. Soon, the monthly money continued to be distributed, and a man received the monthly money excitedly, and then quickly left.

"Wait, wait, I'm Zhou Da, he's not Zhou Da, he's an impostor, his name is Ma Qiu, he's a ruffian in the city, and he's not hired by the Li family. ”

But as soon as the man walked on his front foot, another person who claimed to be Zhou Da hurriedly squeezed over and said busily.

"What?" the bookkeeper was shocked.

I didn't expect this to be a fraudulent.

"Wait, I'm going to ask the eldest young master about this. After the account keeper finished speaking, he hurried back to the house.

As soon as he left, the people in front of the Li Mansion were filled with righteous indignation.

"That Machu is really lacking in morality, and even Li Gongzi's money dares to take it, so he is not afraid of retribution?"

"Phew, what's the matter, this Maqiu is really a shame for our Guo Beicheng, Lao Tzu can't stand it. ”

"Damn, this dog, when I see him back, I'm going to teach him a good lesson. ”
