Tang and Song came to the house of the village chief Xie Dajiao, and Xie Sanni affectionately took Li Wan'er into her room, leaving Xie Dajia and Tang Song to talk in the living room.
According to Xie Dajia's statistics, the flood entered the village, not counting the loss of the fields, in terms of the loss of 167 households in the village alone, three houses collapsed, but it was mainly because it was too old, so it was not too much loss.
In addition, the livestock of 10 families in the village, such as pigs and cattle, were washed away, and most of them were new animals that had been raised for half a year.
According to statistics, the worst loss of the whole village is precisely what they are desperately short of Originally, there was not much food in the villagers' homes, and it was the time to eat food, so no protective measures were taken, such as hanging high or something, and as a result, all the food was soaked So along the way in the Tang and Song dynasties, what I saw the most were the villagers who looked at the rice bags with sad faces.
Originally, it was still possible for the villagers of Xiejia Village to survive this period of famine on their own, but after today's incident, this possibility no longer exists "Village Chief Xie, I don't know what you plan to do about the food shortage" Tang Song broke the silence in the living room and raised the question that gave Xie Dajiao the most headache.
Although Xie Dajiao's face was calm, the worry in his eyes was undoubtedly expressed, "It seems that I can only go to the county to ask for help, and there must be no way to do it in the village."
Having said that, it is not so easy to get help from Zhenjiang County, first, there are many disaster-stricken places in Zhenjiang County, and the county government has to take into account the overall situation, and secondly, the disturbance in Xiejia Village has made the county government have a very bad impression of Xiejia Village, which makes it more difficult for Xiejia Village to seek help.
Tang Song understood the difficulties of Xie Jiacun and Xie Dajiao, so he took the initiative to say, "Village Chief Xie, since I have run into it, then I can't stand idly by, and I will coordinate the food matter."
Xie Dajia was overjoyed when he heard this, and said excitedly, "Thank you Lord Tang in this way, I will thank you for the villagers of Xiejia Village first."
Tang Song hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't be busy thanking me first, you still need everyone's cooperation to ask for food."
Xie Dajia nodded affirmatively, "Cooperate, I will definitely cooperate with adults."
"Okay, wait for my news" Tang Song and his entourage left Xiejia Village in the evening of the same day and returned to Zhenjiang City.
After resting for a night, early the next morning, Tang Song went to the county office.
The originally quiet county government had a rare scene of commotion today, and seven or eight people were in a hurry to surround the county cangcao, talking nonsense.
"My lord, our village has been hit hard, please take care of it."
"My lord, we are miserable" "My lord, my father is your second uncle, the village has been hit hard this year, and adults can't ignore it."
"Adult" "Adult" Such a noisy scene and atmosphere made Cangcao, who was already a little chubby, sweat even more, "Don't worry, I can understand everyone's feelings, let's solve them one by one, okay?"
"Adults, you can't help but be in a hurry, it's all broken three times, the younger people are okay, the old people and children can't, they're all hungry and screaming."
"That's it, my lord, there is a priority in this matter, and those who are lightly affected can be put forward first."
"You fart, we'll starve if you let it go back" "It is" In short, the originally solemn county government was now turned into a vegetable market by those who wanted relief "Shut up cough, what kind of system" Suddenly, a majestic voice interrupted everyone's noise, and the county government was suddenly silent.
Everyone's eyes turned to the source of the voice, and when they saw the person who came, their faces changed "Lord Chen Chen, Lord Chen is here" Among the people who wanted relief, some of them turned their brains quickly, and they immediately greeted them flatteringly When Cang Cao saw Chen Qiang appear, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and after reaching out to wipe the sweat on his forehead, he quickly came to Chen Qiang, "Lord Chen" Chen Qiang was slightly dissatisfied with Cang Cao's control, and glared at him lightly, "What's the matter?"
Cangcao hurriedly replied, "Lord Chen, they are all the village chiefs of the affected villages, and they are here to seek relief, there are too many people, so please forgive me for some noise."
"Relief" Chen Qiang pondered for a while, raised his head and asked, "How did Lord Zhang arrange it this time?"
Cangcao replied, "In order not to delay the flood relief, the relief method of scooping water in large buckets was adopted to alleviate the disaster situation in each village as much as possible," Cangcao replied "Scoop water in a vat" Chen Qiang read softly, and gradually fell into thought.
After thinking for a while, Chen Qiang raised his head, "The relief has been temporarily put aside in advance, and the distribution of relief has to change this time."
"Change" Cangcao asked puzzledly, "How do you want to change?"
Chen Qiang did not answer directly, but ordered, "You immediately convene a meeting of officials above the county government to discuss relief matters."
The county Cheng spoke, and Cangcao could only obey orders, he glanced at the village chiefs who were a little helpless, and turned to leave.
Cangcao left, and the village chiefs had no mind to entangle, Chen Qiang said with a smile, "Everyone wait a little longer, and when the results are out, the relief measures will be implemented soon, and we will definitely not let everyone wait."
Since the county lord had spoken, the village chiefs did not insist any longer, and they either left in groups of three or two, or went to the tavern to wait.
Tang Song didn't come out, but after walking with everyone for a while, he turned around and turned to the county government office The county government usually discusses anything there.
As soon as Tang and Song entered the door, the county government hall was already full of officials.
Sitting on the same chair, everyone's expressions are different, some are curious, some are calm, some are distressed, and some are happy.
Zhang Duofu, the chief bookkeeper, had already arrived, sitting in the front row with a serious face, ignoring the big and small officials who came in, and had been immersed in his thoughts According to the old rules, Tang Song walked towards the position next to the Zhao brothers Seeing Tang Song coming, the Zhao brothers nodded slightly, revealing a smile of inexplicable meaning.
Tang Song sat down gently, the fingers of his right hand were bent, and he gently tapped on the tabletop, and he had already begun to sort out the thoughts he had prepared, in order to make the plan in his heart more perfect.
As for what arrangements Chen Qiang would propose in this meeting, Tang Song didn't care very much, because no matter what opinions Chen Qiang put forward, it was not in line with Tang Song's intentions.
After everyone arrived, after waiting for a long time, Chen Qiang came and Shi Shiran came It is true that the officialdom of the Great Sui Dynasty is like this, on this occasion, the higher the grade, the latest to come, this is not the law, but it is better than the law When Chen Qiang came to the hall, his eyes immediately fell on Zhang Duofu, who was sitting quietly, and the smell of gunpowder contained in his eyes immediately wafted in the entire hall.
Tang Song knew that the show was about to begin:
