It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 428 Soliciting donations!
Lord Lu rubbed his chin, "All the wealthy households in the city have donated, and our county government can't be left behind, and we can't be less than them. Hmm."

"How about this, donate 200 catties of food, not much bedding, and the main cotton can't be bought, um, just donate [-] taels, with more silver, donate [-] taels."

Steward Ma bowed his head, "Yes, I remember it, little one."

Grandpa Lu County nodded, "You send people to build a few sheds at the gates of the four cities today, and start cooking and serving porridge when the food arrives tomorrow."

Butler Ma paused, "Master, where are the quilts? How do you distribute them?"

Grandpa Lu County thought for a while, "There are only about 50 quilts in total, but there are more than [-] victims, and it is unrealistic for each person to have one bedding. Let's count the number of children under [-] years old and the elderly over [-] years old. For a pregnant woman, if the number of quilts is enough, one can be used for one person, and if not enough, two or three can be used, in short, you can see.”

Steward Ma saluted, "Yes, I will arrange it right now, villain."

"You wait."

Steward Ma stopped in his tracks, "What orders does the magistrate have?"

The magistrate waved his hand, "There are no outsiders now, you don't need to call me magistrate, I brought you out from Lu's house, before leaving, the old man specifically asked you to help me, don't hide any good ideas you have. Go!"

Steward Ma knelt down and said respectfully, "Master, don't worry, the villain grew up in Lu's family. He was born as a member of the Lu family and died as the soul of the Lu family. If he has a way, he will definitely tell the whole story and will not hide it!"

Satisfied, Mr. Lu County nodded and signaled him to go to work.

After walking a few steps, Steward Ma remembered what he hadn't said, so he hurriedly turned around and said, "By the way, so that the young master knows, the medical clinics in the county town also took the initiative to tell the villain that from tomorrow onwards, there will be medical clinics in four places every day. At the gate of the city, we sent out decoction to prevent the outbreak of the plague, and medicine to drive away the cold."

Grandpa Lu County was stunned when he heard the words, and then he remembered that he had heard from his ancestors in the past that after the flood, there was a plague, and there were people who died in the whole city. The county is finished...

"Go down and get busy first, I know."

Butler Ma walked away, and at the door, the young man who was guarding the county magistrate spoke, "Master, are the doctors in the medical center too nervous? Why is there bound to be a plague?"

Lord Lu shook his head, "I think the medical center should take precautions in advance. You should inform the government officials and ask them to cooperate with all the doctors in the medical center."

The boy was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly saluted, "Yes, the villain remembered."

After thinking about it, the boy said, "Young master, the donations from the wealthy households alone are not much. I don't know how many refugees there will be in the future. Would you like to ask the merchants in the county to donate as well?"

Grandpa Lu County thought for a while and shook his head, "I have already taken the initiative to ask for food and bedding from rich households. If I look for merchants again, I am afraid that your young master will cause public outrage. After all, many large-scale merchants in the county are located in these "rich households." "I'm pinching it in my hand."

After thinking about it, he said, "Of course, if they are willing to take the initiative to donate, they will not dislike less, and they will not dislike more if they have more."

"...Yes, the little one understands."

The boy understood what his young master meant, all he had to do was to spread the word outside...

After a few more days, even Su Rui got tired of staying in the house, standing on the porch and looking at the sky.

Mother Liu brought Su Changyong closer and heard this sentence, "Why don't you stop? Even if you stop for a few days..."

Mother Liu, "Miss, the third-bedroom master is here."

Su Rui was a little confused, Mr. Sanfang?who?Su Chenming?Turning around to see it was Su Changyong, it was only then that I realized that the third room that Liu's mother mentioned was the third uncle who had the same parents as her grandfather, not Su Changyong from her third uncle's family...

Su Rui greeted Su Changyong and went into the main room and sat down, "Ah, Uncle Changyong, you came back from the county seat? Why, is the way back cleared?"

A few days ago, she wanted Liu De to go to the county town to buy some pork and come back for everyone to eat. Recently, the family always eats chicken and rabbits, including her, who almost vomited, but when she walked halfway, she said that the road was flooded and she couldn't go any further. go forward.

Su Changyong sat down and said, "It's not a complete knowledge, but the county magistrate paid some refugees to work and asked them to dig ditches on both sides of the official road. It has been dug for two days. There are ditches, and the water on the road is also full. It led into the ditch, so I walked a lot."

Su Rui raised her eyebrows, the magistrate of this county can do it, "Well, what's the matter with Uncle Chang Yong coming back at this time?"

Su Changyong didn't know what to say. Originally, he wanted to tell his younger brother, but thinking that this "Su Ji" was mainly opened by girl Rui, he went to Su Rui first and asked her to make an idea.

"Well, it has been spread among the merchants in the past two days, saying that wealthy families in the west of the city took the lead in donating grain, bedding, money, etc., and even the county magistrate donated 200 catties of grain, fifty pieces of bedding and [-] taels of silver."

"Now some merchants are also discussing to donate some together. After all, those affected by the disaster are poor people...well, so..."

Su Changyong didn't say anything about the rest, but Su Rui also knew what it meant. He wanted to ask if "Su Ji" would also donate some along with it.

Donations must be made. In modern times, as long as a certain place is affected by a disaster, the leaders of the unit will organize everyone to donate.

But how much to donate, she couldn't make up her mind, she was worrying, when she heard Meng Mingzhou's voice behind her.

""Su Ji" also donates, just follow the crowd to donate, see what other people donate and how much they donate, Uncle Chang Yong, just take a middle number and donate."

Su Changyong glanced at Su Rui, saw Su Rui nodded, and then responded, "Okay, I see, I will inquire carefully when I go back."

After Su Changyong finished talking, he wanted to go home and take a look, so he left. Walking in the yard, he happened to see the little girl coming back from outside the yard with a basket of eggs in her hand, so he hurriedly turned and went back to the main room.

"By the way, we don't have many eggs in our store, and the county town doesn't sell any."

Meng Mingzhou thought for a while and said, "You walked back, which means the road to the county is now. It should be okay to walk by people, but it must not be possible by car?"

Su Changyong nodded, "Yes, people can walk, and it's okay to be careful when passing through the flooded places in the middle, but whether it's a mule cart or an ox cart is too heavy, you can't walk, and you will be trapped."

Meng Mingzhou rubbed his chin, and said after a while, "Well, how about this, then let someone carry it to the county town on a back basket."

Su Changyong frowned, "You can't memorize much at once, you need to carry more on your shoulders."

Meng Mingzhou objected, "There are more shoulder picks, but the current road is not easy to walk. If you don't hold anything, you have to be careful not to drop it, let alone pick it with your shoulders. If you fall down, the egg will be finished. Eggs It doesn’t matter if you break it, you’re just afraid that someone will break it, so carrying it on your shoulders is not as safe as carrying it on your back.”

"Okay, then carry the basket on your back!"

Su Changyong knew that Meng Mingzhou was right, so he didn't continue to refute.

When Su Changyong left, Su Rui looked at Meng Mingzhou, "Are you planning to let the four brothers of the Ge family deliver eggs?"

Meng Mingzhou did not deny it, "Yes, Uncle De is old, and he can't carry twenty or thirty catties of eggs on such a difficult road for two or three hours. Although Su Cheng and Su Zhong are young, they are only in their teens. Years old, strength and patience, they are not as good as the four brothers of the Ge family."

Su Rui thought about the ages of the four brothers of the Ge family, and they were indeed the ages with the most strength, "Okay, I don't care about this, you just look at the arrangements."

After speaking, Su Rui went to the backyard. Although she was standing on the porch just now, the rain didn't hit her, but the wind blew every now and then, and her body was a little wet. The wet feeling made her very uncomfortable. Comfortable, if Su Changyong hadn't come just now, she would have been made to wait a long time ago, she would have gone back to the backyard to change into dry clothes.

Meng Mingzhou looked at Su Rui who was walking away and smiled.
