Nansu Mansion.
Qingyuan County.
Lin Yi led the white horse into the city. It was freezing and snowy, and there were no people on the street. It was like an empty city.
However, the scholars, dragon guards, officials, and folk knights who occasionally walked through the streets represented the vitality of the city.
'They are all delivering relief supplies, and it looks like they have plenty of supplies...'
Lin Yixuan's heart relaxed.
It seems that what they were worried about has not happened. It is relatively easy for Nansu Mansion to survive this disaster.
At this time.
Someone seemed to have spotted Lin Yi and was walking towards him.
"Why is little brother wandering on the street?"
Several scholars in Confucian shirts stopped Lin Yi, and someone reminded him: "The county government has issued a notice. In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, try to stay at home. Although the wind and snow have passed, the bone-chilling chill may make you …”
Lin Yi released a ray of talent and chuckled: "Fellow bachelors, I am also a scholar!"
Several scholars suddenly stopped talking, and someone asked: "Which academy does the bachelor come from?"
"I came from Nanxiang Prefecture to help with disaster relief. Is there anyone who needs help here?"
Lin Yi took the lead in coming to Nansu Mansion this time because he wanted to start from the grassroots level and truly understand the needs of the people during the disaster.
Then go all the way to Nansu Fucheng to meet up with the Dragon Guard army.
"The disaster in Qingyuan County is indeed serious, and there is a shortage of people, but we need to register your identity."
The scholar said: "But there is no reward for helping. If you are willing, I will take you to the county government to register."
"good!"
Lin Yi nodded and followed the scholar to the county government office.
…
Qingyuan County Yazhong.
After Lin Yi registered his name and household registration, the scholar immediately became enthusiastic.
"Lin Yi, our team happens to be short of a few people. How about taking charge of the disaster relief mission in West City with us?"
The scholar looked at Lin Yi with a smile and introduced himself, "My name is Xiao Qingrong, a bachelor from Nansu Academy."
"As long as it's for disaster relief, it doesn't matter which team you join, just join the team with Brother Xiao!"
Lin Yi is not picky.
No matter where you are responsible, as long as you can understand the current situation of the people of Nansu Prefecture.
"Let's go get the goods first!"
Xiao Qingrong was in a good mood, so he took Lin Yi and went directly to the warehouse where supplies were stored in the county.
It is guarded by officials and dragon guards.
There were scholars, dragon guards and folk knights coming and going, and carts of supplies were shipped out of the warehouse.
The efficiency seems to be very high.
'This Qingyuan County Magistrate seems to have some ability...' Lin Yi thought in his mind.
He has the ability to mobilize scholars and dragon guards.
Materials can also be distributed and dispatched well to supply the people of the county. This ability of the county magistrate is extremely strong.
"Team No. 9 of West City, come here to get supplies!"
Xiao Qingrong said hello to the official in charge of the warehouse, signed the signature, and asked Lin Yi to move the supplies into the car.
Lin Yi took a general look.
These supplies were rice and vegetables for eating, as well as charcoal for making fires, but they had the company's logo written on them.
'These are not relief supplies from the court, but from merchants...'
Lin was also particularly surprised.
Disaster relief materials are used to protect people's lives, and are usually the reserve materials of various governments, as well as the court's disaster relief materials.
Merchant's supplies are unlikely to appear.
If there are merchants' supplies, there are only two possibilities. One is the merchant's donation.
Another way is for the county government to purchase these things from businessmen to prevent businessmen from taking advantage of the disaster to raise prices and enrich the country.
"Brother Xiao, what's the name of Qingyuan County Magistrate? He's a parent official who is willing to do practical things..."
After leaving the warehouse, Lin Yi looked at Xiao Qingrong.
He guessed that the county government purchased these supplies from merchants.
"Are you willing to do practical things?"
Xiao Qingrong sneered and said: "I heard that Qingyuan County Magistrate Du Nan is one of the top ten corrupt officials in Nansu Prefecture. He eats people without spitting out their bones."
"Hey, don't make irresponsible remarks about the officials of Nansu Mansion. The water is very deep. We just need to provide disaster relief!"
Xiao Qingrong didn't say much, and was somewhat evasive.
After all, he doesn't like Lin Yi very much either.
learn.
"Top ten corrupt officials?"
Lin Yi frowned suddenly, it didn't look right.
But at this time, the advantage of taking root at the grassroots level comes out, and you can always grasp the public's reputation and reputation of officials.
Occupying a high position.
It is destined to be difficult to hear the true voice of the people.
…
Xicheng, Qingyuan County.
"Lin Yi, our task is to deliver supplies to their doorsteps according to this household number, and record their new needs at the same time!"
Xiao Qingrong was familiar with the road and was guiding Lin Yi on how to distribute supplies.
Lin Yi looked at the household number and the corresponding supplies, and his whole scalp went numb instantly.
Is this... someone shopping for groceries?
Lin Yi looked a little ugly and asked doubtfully: "These are all money from the county government, right?"
"How could you think that?"
Xiao Qingrong was stunned for a moment and said: "Which county government has such a strong financial background? These supplies were bought by the people in the county with their own money. We were invited by the county government to transport the supplies..."
'That's right, but this is also a good move. As long as it can solve the people's problems, it is doing things for the people! '
Lin Yi thought this in his heart.
With the county government's financial resources, it is indeed impossible to provide this kind of supply. After all, it is not a disaster relief material from the court, nor a material donated by the private sector.
He follows the behavior of market economy.
Even in normal times, people still need to spend money to buy food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Now that the Nansu Prefecture is experiencing a disaster, the Yamen government is responsible for hiring literary monks as delivery boys, which is also effectively solving the people's problems.
Nothing wrong!
At this time, Xiao Qingrong and Lin Yi stopped in front of a large house.
Dong Dong~
Xiao Qingrong stepped forward and knocked on the door. A middle-aged man wrapped in a large cotton-padded jacket opened the door and said with an indifferent expression: "Where are the things?"
"We're all here. Didn't your family eat meat some time ago? Why are you pickling radishes now? This dish won't last for a few days, why don't you order it? If you order it, I'll register it for you!"
Xiao Qingrong handed the things to the middle-aged man and skillfully asked if there were any new needs.
"Did Dunan pay for it?"
The middle-aged man stared at Xiao Qingrong hatefully, took the thing and closed the courtyard door with a bang.
Lin Yi keenly heard the middle-aged man cursing: "Du Nan is really nothing. He is a dignified county magistrate, but he reaches into the pockets of us people. A good family has been lost in half a month..."
Then there was the small sound of wiping tears.
Lin Yi was shocked.
He thought of Xiao Qingrong's words. This family ate meat some time ago, but now they eat pickles and radishes.
With the size of this house, it doesn't look like someone who can't even afford meat.
"Brother Xiao, how much did he spend on those things?" Lin Yi asked.
"How many pennies?"
Xiao Qingrong smiled and shook his head, "It was only a few cents before the snowstorm, but now it costs ten taels of silver per pound of meat. Those things just now cost only seven or eight cents, but now they cost one tael of silver."
"There is no other way. If you don't buy it, you will starve to death. So due to this disaster, a group of people in Nansu Mansion are going to be very rich. I don't know how many calligraphy articles they can exchange for..."
"We scholars, who were arranged by the dean, were given a small amount of money and the opportunity to read the college's calligraphy articles."
Xiao Qingrong shook his head. He continued to push the cart and went door to door to ask if he wanted to reserve supplies.
But got no response.
After Lin Yicong learned the truth, he remained silent without saying a word, his eyes red, trying to suppress the anger in his heart...
How could they do this?
Is his Dayan already so bad?
Can't!
But at this moment, Lin Yi subconsciously unfolded his spiritual thoughts and wanted to know the current situation of the people who had not responded.
Why don't they respond?
But when he unfolded his spiritual thoughts, he found that those houses had long lost the breath of life...
There were only corpses.
They are starving to death!
