On the other side, the government is also busy preparing to distribute relief grains to those mulberry farmers.
Those farmers have been looking forward to this for a long time. As early as a few days ago, after the government officially announced the time and location for the distribution of relief grains, farmers came to the designated place to wait in advance.
For those mulberry farmers, as long as they and their families can have a full meal, what does the grievance they suffer mean nothing?
It is precisely because there are so many people with this idea that many sangongs fight for a higher position. During this period, the government had to send people to maintain order.
At this moment, although it is not yet time for the government to officially distribute relief grains, the mulberry farmers have already spontaneously lined up in long lines.
If you look down from mid-air, the queue of people looks like a winding snake with no end in sight.
As usual, the crowd was extremely noisy. Even though the official responsible for maintaining order on the side reminded him many times, it was of no avail. Everyone was looking forward to receiving sufficient relief grains from the government, so that they could survive for a while longer. .
At least during this period, there is no risk of starvation for you and your family.
As for Wang Erzhuang, a villager in Wangjia Village, he was waiting in line to receive relief food from the government as usual.
After Wang Erzhuang received the exact news earlier, he rushed non-stop to the place where the government distributed relief grains, and was extremely lucky to occupy a front position. However, the price for this was that he had slept here for three days. Got it!
During these three days, Wang Erzhuang did not dare to slack off at all, and had to guard against someone taking his position every day.
Therefore, he joined forces with the villagers who also planted mulberry seedlings in Wangjia Village. Whenever someone needed to leave temporarily, the remaining people would take advantage of the situation and take over the position to prevent it from being taken away by others.
At this moment, when Wang Erzhuang was stunned, there was a sudden commotion from the crowd in front. Seeing this, Wang Erzhuang suddenly became energetic and couldn't help but guess: "Is it possible that it's time to officially distribute relief grains?"
Perhaps to support his conjecture, the voice of an official came from not far away.
"Listen up, everyone, line up and come one by one. If someone dares to jump in line, then he will never get the food!"
"Listen up, get in line..."
With the official's repeated reminders, the crowd became more and more noisy. Many people craned their necks to see how many more people could take their turn. For this reason, many disputes arose.
"Those in front, lower your heads, I can't even see you!"
"It's none of my business if you don't see it, just figure it out on your own!"
"You're a very sharp-tongued kid, are you in need of a slap?"
"Come on, do you want to touch me?"
Scenarios similar to the above are constantly happening in the team, but in the final analysis, most people are just talking. After all, no one wants to lose their qualifications to receive relief food just because of temporary gain. .
Moreover, the officials responsible for maintaining order on the side would immediately step forward to stop the situation once they see such signs, so the crowd soon calmed down again.
At this moment, Wang Erzhuang looked at the team that was gradually moving forward, and his face looked even more hopeful, because after a few more people, it would be his turn.
The few people in front of the queue couldn't hide the smiles on their faces after receiving the relief food from the government.
Soon, it was Wang Erzhuang's turn. The subordinate officials sitting at the table glanced at Wang Erzhuang indifferently, and then asked: "Name, place of birth?"
Wang Erzhuang was already familiar with this, and he immediately spoke without thinking.
"Wang Erzhuang, from Wangjia Village."
After the words fell, a subordinate officer took out the corresponding roster. After rummaging for a long time, he found Wang Erzhuang's name. As usual, he drew a circle on his name and immediately gave instructions: .
"Well, let's go over there and get the food!"
When Wang Erzhuang heard this, his face was full of excitement and he kept talking.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"
After that, Wang Erzhuang came to the side and took the bag containing grain from the soldier's hands. After roughly weighing the weight of the bag in his hand, Wang Erzhuang's face was full of a smile that could not be concealed.
Because this time, the relief grain distributed by the government was about six liters!
“Now you don’t have to worry about going hungry for half a month!”
Wang Erzhuang said this, and immediately looked around vaguely. After making sure that no one was paying attention to him, he picked up the food and left in a hurry.
Because there were so many people coming to receive relief food this time, in order to improve efficiency, the government adopted a strategy of distributing food in turns around the clock.
In this way, two days later, the government finally distributed all the relief grains to the farmers.
In the Chief Envoy's Department, at this moment, the officials responsible for distributing relief grains were reporting the current situation to Zheng Michang in great detail.
"Your Majesty the Chief Envoy, this batch of relief food has been distributed successfully!"
After listening to the report from his subordinates, Zheng Michang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately spoke with emotion.
"Huh~ This matter has finally come to an end for the time being. These recent bad things have really troubled me!"
After that, Zheng Michang turned his eyes away and then gave instructions to the official.
"Without further ado, please send this news to the Governor's Mansion immediately. I will let the Governor know about this!"
"Yes, Lord Chief Envoy!"
After listening to Zheng Michang's instructions, the official immediately responded in a deep voice without any hesitation.
…
In the study room of the Governor's Mansion, Hu Zongxian was relieved and said with emotion after learning the news that the relief grains had been distributed from the subordinates sent by Zheng Michang.
"Okay, okay!"
In recent days, Hu Zongxian's spirit has been extremely tense. The safety of nearly half of the people who grow mulberry seedlings in Zhejiang depends on him alone. He dare not relax, and he cannot relax!
Just when Hu Zongxian was about to take a rest, there was a knock on the door.
Seeing this situation, Hu Zongxian frowned slightly, and immediately gave instructions.
"come in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a guard walked in. The moment he entered the study room of the Governor's Mansion, he knelt on one knee and respectfully reported to Hu Zongxian.
"Reporting to the Governor, the Governor is outside asking for a meeting, saying that he has something important to discuss with you!"
When Hu Zongxian heard this, he couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face. He looked away from the guard and said silently to himself.
"Why is Liu Mi coming to see me at this time? Is it possible that he is here for that matter?"
After that, Hu Zongxian came back to his senses and gave instructions to the guard.
"Well, I know, let him wait in the meeting hall first, I will be there later!"
"Yes, Lord Governor!"
After receiving Hu Zongxian's specific instructions, the guard turned around and left the room without stopping.
After the guard left, Hu Zongxian roughly tidied up his appearance, stood up from his seat and walked towards the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion.
