Chapter 874 Chapter 874, helper
When the grain arrived, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang both breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Yeyang sent a letter to the army camp on the same day, asking Cao Dan to come over tomorrow to pull food.
After receiving the letter, Cao Dan was stunned for a while, especially when he saw Xiao Yeyang saying in the letter that the soldiers in the frontiers should not lose their health. They must ensure that every soldier has a full meal, and the food will be delivered in full in the future. Obviously these should be done, but he couldn't help feeling a little moved in his heart.
The army’s salary, in fact, everyone knows that as long as there is a five-six component to be issued, there will be a rare good official on the top. He has been in the army for so many years, and he has never received it.
With food, the frontier army is relieved, and the refugees outside the city are also relieved.
Xiao Yeyang selected a thousand young and strong soldiers from the health post to train them personally.
A couple of days ago, everyone saw that these military households were tired like a dog every day. They made a lot of jokes, but when the food arrived, watching them eat twice as much food as they did, it was too envious and jealous.
The day before the Lantern Festival, when Xiao Yeyang was busy training soldiers, Daohua also walked out of Xiao Mansion.
It's been almost a month since I came to Ganzhou City. Due to the cold weather and the many things to deal with, she hasn't walked the city well yet.
Compared to the towns along the way, Ganzhouwei is a bit more lively, but the economy is still very sluggish, the shops on the street sell very few kinds of things, and there are not many customers.
Taohua walked around the two main streets, and the situation in the city was almost understood, and then said to Yan Shouhou who was next to him: "How are you inquiring about the shop?"
Yan Shouhou hurriedly replied: "Back to the girl, the shops in Ganzhou City are very good to buy. It is difficult to do business here. Many shops are closed every year. There are a few smaller ones. The location and size are good. The girl is going to visit today. ?"
Daohua nodded, there is no snow today, and she wants to go shopping more.
The shops that Yan Shouhou looked at were all on the main street, and he didn't walk much. Daohua looked at every shop and finally bought five shops directly.
"Two grains are spread out, one fruit and vegetable shop, and two pharmacies. Please hurry up and arrange them out."
Speaking, paused.
"The pharmacy and fruit and vegetable store are not in a hurry, but the food must be spread quickly."
"At the end of the month or the beginning of February, Qin Xiaoliu should be able to bring the grain over, and then the grain shop will have to open."
At the turn of winter and early spring, it was a time when there was a shortage of food, she didn't want the refugees outside the city to gather more and more.
Although she is not short of food, she keeps making porridge, and it will be too much for a long time.
Thinking of the refugees, Daohua glanced at the direction of the city gate: "Let’s go, let’s go to the city wall and take a look."
Outside the gate of Ganzhou, the number of refugees is almost 50,000.
Premature porridge has been used in the porridge shed. Now the refugees are shrinking in the straw shed, and people are warming each other next to each other.
Daohua stood on the city wall, watching the trembling refugees shooting in the hut, feeling a little uncomfortable. No matter what time, the people who suffer will always be the people.
Since he started to porridge, Zhang Da almost stayed at the gate of the city. Every day, he went to the warehouse to count the grain and calculate the remaining grain. As soon as he left the warehouse, he saw the rice flower standing on the wall.
Zhang Da trot up the city wall, and stood and saluted two meters away from Daohua: "I have seen Mrs. Xiao in the humble post."
Daohua turned her head and looked over: "Are you Lord Zhang who cooks the porridge?"
Zhang Da did not expect Daohua to know herself, and was a little flattered: "It's just a humble job."
Daohua smiled and said: "The porridge is very important. During this period of time, Master Zhang has been working hard."
Zhang Da hurriedly shook his head: "The humble job is just running errands, not to mention hard work. The real hardship is Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao. If you hadn't raised so much food, the refugees outside the city would probably not be able to survive. Foreign refugees, Lord Xie and Mrs. Xie’s kindness to survive."
Daohua looked at Zhang Da through the drapery, and saw that he was earnest, full of feelings, and smiled and shook his head: "Master Zhang is serious. Since Xianggong takes over Ganzhouwei, he will naturally not ignore the refugees outside the city."
"By the way, now the first month is halfway through, and February is about to come. Seeing that the cold winter is about to pass, how did you arrange for refugees in the past?"
Zhang Da's face was embarrassed: "Mrs. Hui, in the past, the capacity of the health station was limited. If refugees gather outside the city, most of them will be expelled."
Daohua asked again: "Are these refugees homeless?"
Zhang Da: "Most of them are." After speaking, he paused, "There may be a small part of the family who is not very good at home. They are here for porridge."
Daohua nodded, looked at the refugees under the city again, and then turned around: "Don't delay Master Zhang, let's say goodbye."
"Madam, go slowly!"
Zhang Da watched Daohua get into the carriage, and then looked away.
"My lord, who is Mrs. Xiao's wife?" the soldiers on the wall asked curiously.
Zhang Da nodded and smiled: "The mutton we ate on New Year’s Day and New Year’s Day was delivered by Mrs. Xiao."
Some officers and soldiers said: "She didn't think the same as I imagined. I thought that all the family members from the capital looked down on people from the top, but the lady felt that there was no arrogance at all."
Zhang Da laughed: "Okay, don't gather around, take a good job as a errand."
That evening, when Xiao Yeyang returned from training at the guard station, Daohua changed his clothes while asking: "What do you plan to do with the refugees outside the city?"
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua: "Why do you suddenly ask about this?"
Ina Flower: "I went to take a look at the city wall today."
Xiao Yeyang rubbed his head and sat down. He was very dissatisfied with Ganzhouwei Civil Affairs.
During this period of time, he secretly traced all the officials of the sanitation station, and found that most of these officials had no knowledge, and most of them could only recognize a few words, and there was no management ability at all.
The defense of Ganzhou Guard was weak, and the people of Xiliao looked forward to war, and he didn’t dare to take it lightly.
The physical and combat abilities of the frontier soldiers and guards are not good enough. His focus has to be placed on training and patrols. It is impossible for the civil affairs to do it personally.
Xiao Yeyang felt that no one was available, but he soon thought of Dong Yuanxuan, who had been exiled to Xiliang.
"Since Ganzhouwei is closest to Xiliao, it is often harassed by Xiliao people, and the population here has not been large, so I want to keep all those refugees."
"It is not a simple matter to resettle refugees, and I am busy with the military, so I have to find someone who can be trusted and has the ability to govern to help me."
"Yuan Xuan is in Xiliang, I want to transfer him over."
Daohua quickly nodded in agreement: "Brother Dong is very knowledgeable, and he was once your companion. You are familiar with each other, and you will definitely be able to cooperate well with you on official business."
"In addition, Uncle Dong was the former chief ambassador of Zhongzhou, and he is most familiar with civil affairs. If you have any problems, you can still consult him."
Xiao Yeyang nodded: "I think so too."
Daohua asked, "Big Brother Dong, where were they exiled to?"
Xiao Yeyang: "Jin Weiwei."
Inaka: "Can you transfer them here?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said: "This face-saving Commander Jin Weiwei still wants to give me." After thinking about it, "You will prepare a gift later, and I will give in and dare to run Jin Weiwei tomorrow."
Ina Flower nodded: "Okay."
