Chapter 414

This hurricane landed directly in Hu County. Although everyone has rushed to harvest a batch of food that can be harvested, overall, the economic loss in Hu County is still extremely huge.

Fortunately, because Xiao Chong evacuated the people in the dangerous area ahead of time, there were not many casualties in terms of personnel.

Compared with the full preparations of Huxian County, the losses of other counties in Jiangnan Province that were also affected by this hurricane were much greater than that of Huxian County.

Many low-lying villages were even directly submerged by floods, and all the people who did not evacuate in time died in the water.Those who escaped by chance also became duckweed and became homeless.

My house was flooded, and I could go back after the water receded, but the crops were all soaked, which is terrible!
Without a future in the fields, what would they pay taxes on, feed their stomachs on, and live on?
Refugees after a catastrophe are always a headache for ancient officials, and disaster relief is not an easy thing to do.

I also blame the magistrate of their county for not paying attention to the hurricane that Xiao Chong handed over, and regretting what happened!

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, people who could pay taxes were very important. The number of people under the rule was directly linked to the county magistrate's performance appraisal!

There are people who are sad in this world, and there are naturally people who are happy. The joys and sorrows of human beings are never connected.

Facing the refugees rushing towards the county, Xiao Chong was very happy, and he would not refuse anyone!
He did not have the food shortages faced by other county magistrates. Before the hurricane came, he had already "beaten" local tyrants and raised a group.At this time, it can be taken out to support these refugees from other counties who are pouring over.

Of course, it is not Xiao Chong's style to simply take out food and donate food for disaster relief, never to return.

What he does in love is to turn bad things into good things, and to maximize the benefits of good things, killing many birds with one stone!
Refugees are floating people, and to Xiao Chong, they are also natural laborers, so there is no need for them!
He is engaged in a large-scale water conservancy project in Yan County, and the two large water conservancy projects of Tashan Weir and Rihu Lake are already short of people!
So this time, no matter how many refugees came, he accepted them all.

It's just that Yan County welcomes the refugees from all directions with open arms, but the refugees themselves dare not come here.There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that if you go to Hu County, you will be forced to do hard labor by the county government. This is very different from what they imagined that you will be sent back to your hometown after eating and drinking for nothing!

When Lin Wanwan went to Xiaoxi Town to look at her property after the hurricane, and inquired about the recent developments in the town, she heard about the recent actions of the county government, and four words immediately popped up in her mind-relief with work!
Yes, Xiao Zifang deserves to be Xiao Zifang, and the two words "Ovary" that have been passed down through the ages have not been insulted.

The idea of ​​work-for-relief sprouted in the Spring and Autumn Period and rose in the Song Dynasty. There are still work-for-relief projects in modern impoverished mountainous areas.

In the ancient farming and feudal society, whenever there was a catastrophe, the fields could not be cultivated and the people were displaced.In order to keep the population and maintain stability, those in power must rescue the victims.

However, 80.00% of the wealth in the society is in the hands of 20.00% of the princes and nobles, and they will not donate so much kindly.

If the imperial court does not open warehouses to release relief, then the consuls in various places can only use work as relief.

"Relief with work?" Hearing Lin Wanwan's words, Xiao Chong mulled over the word for a while, then smiled and sighed, "My cousin is really my confidant."

Lonely man Shi Ran cut off the wick to make the candle light brighter, and said: "Mr. Le'an Township is indeed different from ordinary women, no wonder you like her. It is really unnecessary to be in a relationship with such a strange woman." It's different from the family."

That is to say, Lin Wanwan had already left the county government office at night. If she was at the scene and heard two really smart people praising herself like this behind her back, she would definitely be a little proud.

Since Lin Wanwan gave Dugu Di a miraculous glass piece that can enlarge the world the day before yesterday, the latter's favorability towards Lin Wanwan has skyrocketed.

Who wants to be half-blind when they can see the world clearly!
It's just that Dugu Di can't use his eyes for a long time. After all, his eyes have been poisoned and damaged seriously. Even if he can see clearly, he can't use his eyes too much.

After the disaster, there were a lot of things to do in the county government. Xiao Chong was not free all day long, but he was used to sneaking in from time to time. No matter how busy and tired he was every night, he always found time to have a drink with his staff and his cousin Dugu Di. , Chatting for a while, and also taking time to ride a horse on the street and eat some street snacks.

Xiao Chong, who came out from the back door of the county government early in the morning, got on his horse, followed by his bodyguard Shuqi.

Xiao Chong believed in the reins, and let the horse under him lead him for a stroll on the streets of Xiaoxi Town in the early morning. He looked up at the extraordinarily bright sky. Today is another autumn tiger-ravaged weather!

As he walked, he could smell the aroma of sesame seed pancakes from the tip of his nose. Xiao Chong lowered his head and looked at the mobile pancake stall on the side of the road.

He went out early, so he didn't eat the breakfast at the house, he planned to buy it on the street.At this time, Xiao Chong, who was riding on the tall horse, did not get off the horse, and directly took out six copper coins from his arms, and accurately put them into the copper coin bowl on hand by the vendor: "Give me six sesame seed pancakes, put them in Fill it with sesame seeds and divide it into two."

"Okay!" The young man agreed, raised his face full of hope, and deftly sprinkled sesame seeds on the mustard pancakes, then filled four of each with oiled paper, and handed them to Xiao Chong.

Xiao Chong took two packs of oiled paper, tossed a pack to Shuqi, and threw out two copper coins, and said with a loud smile, "You are the head of a county, how can you be greedy for such a small gain like you."

"Hey hey, it's Xiao Ming's mansion who came here to take advantage of someone, it's because of Xiao Ming's mansion's favor, if you didn't let us move, both XX and his wife would have been crushed to death by the collapsed house in the last hurricane. "The man selling Hubing smiled honestly at Xiao Chong.

Xiao Chong casually took a big bite of Hubing in the street, and nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, that's the taste, you have to keep this skill."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the man to answer, he waved his hands and rode away from here.

As soon as Xiao Chong walked away, a hint of cleverness flashed in the eyes of the simple and honest man just now. He rubbed the chest that Xiao Chong had just thrown the copper coin on, and then took out a copper coin and wiped it on his chest. , Hey hey smile.

The little lady who was busy being someone else's voice behind him saw that he was still having fun, and immediately slapped him: "You, you are playing big swords in front of Guan Gong's gate and playing tricks with Xiao Ming's mansion, you treat him as if he doesn't know! "

In order to sell two more cakes, they deliberately packed more cakes by giving them away. This is a little cleverness belonging to men.

If Xiao Chong is willing to accept it, then he has accepted his gift (although it is only a little, but it is still a gift); if Xiao Chong insists on paying, then he will make a little more money, and he will not suffer either.
