"What are you doing?"
Zhao Chen took Yuhuatian to the fire place and found that it was a porridge shed.
There are many big cauldrons supported in the shed, and a lot of rice soup is boiling in the cauldrons!
"Sir, why are you here?"
When Wu Mingshi, the governor of Luyang County, saw Zhao Chen arriving, he quickly put down his work and came to Zhao Chen.
"Chief Wu, first of all, you stayed up all night to cook porridge to provide disaster relief, which shows that you are doing your duty well. I am very satisfied with you!"
Zhao Chen picked up a large spoon on one side and stirred it back and forth in the cauldron a few times.
With such a big spoon, when you scoop it down, you will only get water, not the rice grains at all!
"But this is porridge? I'm afraid it's not even rice soup!
Did you know that during the disaster relief work in the official shed, chopsticks floated up and people's heads fell to the ground! "
Zhao Chen slammed the big spoon in his hand to the ground, pointed at Wu Mingshi and roared!
"Young Master...Young Master, there is no such article in the laws of Da Qin!"
Wu Mingshi's expression changed drastically! As a county guard, he is much more familiar with Qin's laws than most people!
How could he remember that there was no such provision in the Qin Code?
"No? Haha, now there is! Shouldn't you give me a reason now?"
Zhao Chen sneered. There is indeed no such thing as "chopsticks float, heads fall" in Qin's laws.
This sentence was what he saw in a Qing palace drama in his previous life!
When he was checking the relief porridge in the tripod just now, he suddenly thought of this sentence!
"Hey~ Young Master, please calm down first. This is what happened..."
Wu Mingshi sighed and had no choice but to tell the story!
The crops in Luyang were not harvested due to natural disasters, and the food output in this era was not high!
Ordinary Guizhou families don't have much food in stock, and coupled with the current plague, it makes people panic!
And the food in the granary is not much! Today, after Zhao Chen ordered the warehouses to be opened to release grain,
People in Guizhou who were not infected in the city came to receive food one after another! Many big players also come to fish in troubled waters!
The food currently left in the granary, let alone the rice soup, will probably not even be able to drink rice soup in a few months!
"So that's it! I blamed you wrongly!"
Zhao Chen nodded. It seemed that he was hasty in opening the warehouse to store grain!
"Let's do this, from now on, for those in Guizhou who are not infected, each person will be provided with a bowl of rice porridge every day!
Each infected person needs two bowls of rice porridge per day! No more food will be distributed except porridge!
Remember, when chopsticks float, heads fall to the ground! I don’t want to see this kind of rice soup again! "
After Zhao Chen thought for a while, he pointed at the bubbling rice soup in the cauldron and said!
"This? Young Master, I'm afraid this is the food in the granary. It won't last for a few days!"
Wu Mingshi's eyes widened. He could have survived for a few months on rice soup.
According to Zhao Chen's method, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for even half a month!
"Infected person's porridge, normal! Uninfected person's porridge, plus sand!
One pot of porridge, one third of the pot of sand! "
Zhao Chen grabbed a handful of sand from the ground and handed it to Wu Mingshi!
"Add? Add sand?"
Wu Mingshi is even more stupid now! He originally thought that Zhao Chen risked his life
I came to Luyang to save Luyang’s head! Is this the result?
If there isn’t enough food, how about sand? Give sand to Luyang's Guizhou head?
"Wu Mingshi, do you really not understand, or are you just pretending to be confused?"
Zhao Chen threw up the sand in his hand, clapped his hands and said!
Wu Mingshi looked at the yellow sand in the sky and shook his head in confusion!
"Governor Wu, what the master means is that we don't have much food now, so we can only give it to those in real need!
But how to distinguish who is really in need and who is taking advantage of troubled waters?
So adding sand to this porridge becomes the key to the problem! "
Yu Huatian looked at Wu Mingshi speechlessly, took a step forward and prompted!
Zhao Chen's method was also used by Ming Dynasty during disaster relief!
So when Zhao Chen grabbed sand from the ground, Yuhuatian already understood!
"Oh, Master, you mean that Guizhou, which is really short of food, won't mind the sand in the porridge.
You will still drink when you need to! Only those who come to take advantage of troubled waters will mind this!
Because they are not short of food, they cannot tolerate sand in the porridge! "
At Yu Huatian's prompt, Wu Mingshi slapped her forehead with an expression of sudden realization!
"Smart! That's what it means! When we give out porridge tomorrow, you can keep an eye on it yourself!
When the time comes, there will definitely be people who are trying to fish in troubled waters, and you should know what to do when the time comes, right? "
Zhao Chen snapped his fingers! Let’s just say, anyone who can sit in this position is not a fool! Just one click!
"Understood! Young Master, what you mean is... to kill the chicken to scare the monkey!"
Wu Mingshi nodded and made a gesture of wiping his neck!
"No, no, no, catch them! Starve them for a few days first. I should have a lot of things to do these days!
After a few days, when I have time and they are almost hungry, I will go and interrogate them myself! "
Zhao Chen shook his head, isn't there a shortage of food now? Aren’t those people trying to take advantage of troubled waters?
That's just right!
"I understand! Young Master, you are really a great talent! You are worthy of being His Majesty's son!
Let me just say, a tiger father has no dog sons! It must be reasonable for His Majesty to send you to Luyang at this time..."
Whatever Zhao Chen could think of, Wu Mingshi could also think of!
Then he gave Zhao Chen a thumbs up and started firing all kinds of rainbow farts like crazy!
"Definitely! I've been busy all afternoon, and I'm not here to listen to your flattery in the middle of the night!
Is the porridge almost ready? Give me and Lao Tian a bowl each, and we will go back to rest after drinking! "
Zhao Chen raised his hand to interrupt Wu Mingshi's flattery. Why is it not over yet?
Why can't you stop flattering me? Just say a few words and that’s it!
Zhao Chen even doubted whether this guy got to the position by flattering his horse!
"Drink porridge? Master, this is disaster relief porridge! How can you eat this because of your noble status!"
Wu Mingshi shook his head. Although there was not much food in the city, it was not enough for Zhao Chen to drink rice soup!
"Why can't it! What's the difference between me and Qian Shou? Aren't we both carrying the same head on our shoulders!"
Zhao Chen found a place to sit down and glanced at Yuhuatian!
"Mr. Factory, it's better for me to come!"
Wu Mingshi saw Yu Huatian bypassing him to serve porridge, so she had no choice but to go and serve Zhao Chen the porridge!
At the same time, he whispered softly [Gong Zichen is really different from other princes]
"Sir, you are here! I have finally found you!"
Just as Zhao Chen picked up the relief porridge, he hadn’t even taken a sip yet.
A royal guard hurried over and knelt on one knee in front of Zhao Chen
"What's wrong? Get up and talk!"
Zhao Chen took a sip of porridge and said! In addition to the slight salty taste, it also has a strong bitter taste, which is not good to drink!
"Sir, several of the death row inmates who received the cowpox vaccine during the day developed symptoms!"
"What? Let's go!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Chen hurriedly put down the porridge bowl in his hand and rushed out of the porridge shed!
In the porridge shed, Wu Mingshi turned around and disappeared from Zhao Chen's shadow. Just when he was confused, Zhao Chen's voice came from the distance again.
"Wu Mingshi, send me this porridge to the county governor's house. Don't waste it!"
