Chapter 178 Teaching
Pretending to be a disaster victim?

As soon as these words came out, the victims who had not yet left were all excited.

Originally, they could only get porridge from the porridge shed twice a day. They could barely eat enough to eat. They hadn’t eaten a bowl of rice for a long time. Some people pretended to be victims of disasters and came to grab food from them.

Seeing that the order was beginning to become chaotic, Xu Wenbin hurriedly sent soldiers to maintain order, but these days he saw that the victims were keeping themselves safe, and there were only five or six soldiers in the porridge shed, so it was impossible for soldiers to stop more than 2000 victims.

Seeing that he was about to lose control, the little official ran away to find Ji Sibo.

Xu Wenbin tried his best to raise his voice, "Quiet! Be quiet!"

But Xu Wenbin is very gentle these days, so the victims are not very afraid of him, so not only the noise is getting louder, but even pushing and shoving.

When Ji Sibo arrived in a hurry, he was about to start a fight, and he shouted angrily, "Quiet!"

As if a thunderbolt sounded in their ears, the victims shut their mouths instantly and looked at Ji Sibo in a daze.

Although Ji Sibo is young, but he is wearing a sword, exuding evil spirits all over his body, and his expression is condensed. There are hundreds of soldiers behind him, all of them holding big knives, and they look fierce. The victims of the disaster did not dare to make noise up.

"Who is making trouble here?" Ji Siboli swept his eyes, and the surrounding victims all backed away, revealing the six people inside.

Because the movement of Ji Sibo bringing people over was too great, the common people also followed. Ji Fushou hid in the crowd and watched all this quietly.

Ji Sibo looked at the six people, and said in a deep voice, "You are the ones who are disrupting the order of the porridge shed?"

"Plop" several times, and the six people were so frightened that they knelt down, trembling.

Seeing Ji Sibo coming, a few words are more useful than him shouting at the top of his voice, Xu Wenbin's eyes dimmed, he took Ji Sibo's conversation away, and asked, "Why are you making a fuss?"

At this time, Gucheng Zhou was also approached by the yamen servants, watching from the sidelines with frowns.

One of the victims raised his head. Under the watchful eyes of the three adults, his heart sank. He pointed to a man beside him and said, "My lord, this man is not a victim at all. His house didn't collapse, and the flood didn't submerge his house, but He came to eat porridge with us disaster victims, he is lying!"

The eyes of the three people immediately fell on the man. This man was thin and was accused of being accused, and his face was sad. "My lord, I am wronged! My house is completely empty, and there is no grain of rice in the house. If you can't open the pot, what is it if you are not a disaster victim?"

The face of the victim who accused him turned red, "You are lying. You are not a victim at all. You have no rice at home, just because you have used all the money in your family to gamble. If you have no money to buy rice, of course you can't get rid of it. I have seen it with my own eyes. You went to the casino."

The man looked up at Xu Wenbin and the others with tears in his eyes, his voice choked up, "My lord, this man is slandering Xiaomin. I can just open my mouth and say that he is not a disaster victim, and I can also say that he is a fake. There is a little conflict with me, and my family's life-saving food is about to be cut off? This person is really black-hearted."

The others didn't know the inside story, but seeing the man crying so badly, and seeing his sallow and emaciated face, everyone sympathized with the weak, and the others began to soften their hearts.

Xu Wenbin looked at Gucheng Zhou first, and asked in a low voice, "Does Master Gu know this disaster victim?"

Gu Chengzhou took a closer look and shook his head slightly.He is a prefect, how can he know everything about all the victims?

Xu Wenbin didn't even look at Ji Sibo, he lowered his eyes to think for a moment, and said directly: "Okay, don't make trouble. If there is trouble, you can't come to the porridge shed to get porridge."

He made a final decision directly, and didn't bother to find out who was lying among the two, but only set a rule that whoever caused trouble could not come to the porridge shed to receive porridge.

Seeing that the victims started to line up to get the porridge again, Xu Wenbin made the decision to leave the soldiers to guard the order and left.

When Ji Sibo turned to leave, he glanced around and saw his aunt, his heart moved, and under the cover of the crowd, he returned to the inn where Ji Fushou was.

"Auntie, which of the two people you said just now was lying?" Ji Sibo asked puzzled.

Ji Fushou smiled slightly, "Is it important who lied? It doesn't matter. The important thing is that disaster relief seeks stability. How much food can you eat if you come to receive two bowls of porridge every day? With so much food, even if you don't So what if some people who were not victims of the disaster were brought in. Before Xu Wenbin leaves Yong'an Mansion, it is impossible to finish the [-] shi of food."

Ji Sibo's heart moved, "Auntie, do you mean that Xu Wenbin only wants him to be safe during his stay in Yong'an Mansion, and he doesn't care about the future?"

"What happens after that? What does it matter to him after that? He brought money and food, and he's not the prefect. He was just ordered to provide disaster relief. After the disaster relief, he will return to the capital. Afterwards, the people's livelihood should be taken care of by the prefect. If something goes wrong, it is the prefect's fault." Ji Fushou said lightly.

Ji Sibo frowned, "Doesn't that mean disaster relief is just a superficial effort?"

Ji Fushou raised his eyebrows slightly, "No, no, this is already the best disaster relief. If this disaster relief is not led by the third prince, if it is not hosted by Xu Wenbin, do you know that the money and food for the disaster relief have passed through the hands of so many people?" After handing over, how many people actually went to Yong'an Mansion after layers of manipulation?"

Originally, she wasn't going to take this muddy water, but after seeing Chu Lingjun's attitude, she thought that since she had a way, why not do something for the people of the three prefectures, so she asked Jing to encourage the third prince to come forward, and asked Jing to recommend Xu Wen Bin presided over the disaster relief, because he knew that these two people would not let the exploitation happen for the sake of their own reputation.

"Sibo, Xu Wenbin is a hypocrite, it doesn't matter. As long as he still cares about his reputation as a gentleman, he is the best person to relieve disasters. Loyal ministers can be used, and treacherous ministers can also be used. It depends on how you use him. Have you learned it?"

Ji Fushou asked him earnestly, with the meaning of teaching.

Ji Sibo nodded thoughtfully, and replied, "Learned, if someone like Xu Wenbin, who appears to be stern and selfless on the surface, asks him to come to the disaster relief, the victims will not be exploited, because he will not let his reputation be damaged. But at other times, if Xu Wenbin accuses others with ulterior motives, with his reputation, most people will believe him, not the accused person."

A smile appeared on the corner of Ji Fushou's lips, and there was a look of satisfaction in his eyes, a child can be taught.

Only Ji Sibo himself was a little puzzled, why did his aunt teach him this, how could he learn how to use people as a general?
But after thinking about it, it's good to learn more if you don't overwhelm yourself with too many skills. Thinking about it this way, Ji Sibo put this problem behind him.
