There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 874

[Chapter 874 Chapter 874, helper]

the food for the helper arrived, both Daohua and Xiao Yeyang breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Yeyang sent a letter to the border barracks that day, asking Cao Dan to come over tomorrow to collect food.

After Cao Dan received the letter, he was stunned for a while, especially when he saw Xiao Yeyang said in the letter that the frontier soldiers must not lose their health, and must ensure that every soldier has enough food, and the food and salary will be delivered in full in the future. Obviously these are all as they should be, but he couldn’t help but feel a little moved in his heart.

As for the army’s salary, in fact, everyone knows that as long as a half or six cents are paid, the superior will be a rare good official. He has never received the full salary after joining the army for so many years.

With food, the frontier soldiers felt at ease, and so did the refugees outside the city.

Xiao Yeyang selected a thousand young and strong military households with good physical fitness from the guard, and trained them personally.

Two days ago, everyone saw these military households tired like dogs every day, and they made a lot of jokes, but when the food arrived, they saw that they ate twice as much food as them every meal, and they were envious and jealous.

The day before Lantern Festival, when Xiao Yeyang was busy training soldiers, Daohua also walked out of Xiao’s mansion.

It has been almost a month since she came to Ganzhou City, and because of the cold weather and the many things to deal with, she still hasn’t visited the city properly.

Compared with the towns we passed along the way, Ganzhouwei was a little more lively, but the economy was still very sluggish. The shops on the street sold few types of things, and there were not many customers.

Daohua walked around the two main streets, and got a good understanding of the situation in the city. Then she said to Yan Shouhou who was following her, “How did you find out about the shop?”

Yan Shouhou quickly replied, “Ms. The shops in Ganzhou City are very good to buy, but business here is difficult, and many shops are closed every year, and a few of the small ones are favored

. It didn’t snow today, so she wanted to go shopping more.

The shops that Yan Shouhou looked at were all on the main street, and he didn’t walk that far. Daohua looked at every shop, and finally bought five shops directly.

“Two for grain, one for the fruit and vegetable store, and two for the pharmacy. Take the time to tidy up and arrange them.”

He paused for a while.

“The pharmacy and the fruit and vegetable store are not in a hurry, but the food store should hurry up.”

“Qin Xiaoliu should have brought the food over at the end of the month or early February, and the food store will have to open by then.” At the turn of

late winter and early spring , when there was a shortage of food, she didn’t want more and more refugees outside the city to gather.

Although she is not short of food, but if she continues to give out porridge, she will not be able to bear it after a long time.

Thinking of the refugees, Daohua glanced in the direction of the city gate: “Let’s go, let’s go to the city wall to have a look.” Outside the

Ganzhou city gate, the number of refugees was almost 50,000.

The porridge hut has already served porridge too early, and now the refugees are huddling in the hut, keeping each other warm.

Standing on the city wall, Daohua looked at the trembling refugees in the thatched shed, feeling a little uncomfortable. No matter at any time, it was always the people who suffered.

Since he began to give porridge, Zhang Da has been guarding the city gate almost all the time. He goes to the warehouse every day to count the grain and calculate the remaining grain. As soon as he left the warehouse, he saw the rice flowers standing on the city wall.

Zhang Da trotted up the city wall, and stood two meters away from Daohua to salute: “I have seen Mrs. Xiao.” Daohua

turned his head and looked over: “You are Mr. Zhang who gave the porridge?”

Zhang Da did not expect Daohua Knowing herself, she was flattered: “It’s a humble job.” Daohua

smiled and said, “The matter of giving porridge is very important, Mr. Zhang has worked hard during this time.”

Zhang Da shook his head quickly: “The humble job is just running errands, not to mention it. Hard work. It is Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao who really worked hard. If you hadn’t raised so much food, the refugees outside the city might not be able to survive. I once again thank Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Madam for their survival on behalf of the refugees outside the city.”

Daohua looked at Zhang Da through the veiled hat, saw his sincere words, full of feeling, and shook her head with a smile: “Master Zhang is serious. Since Mr. Xiang took over Ganzhou Wei, naturally he would not ignore the refugees outside the city.

” By the way, now half of the first month has passed, and it will be February soon, and the cold winter is about to pass, how did you arrange for the refugees in the past?”

Zhang Da showed embarrassment: “Mrs. If there are refugees gathering outside the city, most of them will drive them away.”

Daohua asked again: “Are these refugees homeless?”

Zhang Da: “Most of them are.” Then he paused, ” A small part of them may be because their families are not doing well, and they are here to eat porridge.”

Daohua nodded, looked at the refugees under the city again, and then turned around: “Don’t delay Mr. Zhang, let’s take our leave first.”

“Madam, go slowly!”

Zhang Da watched Dao Hua get into the carriage, and then looked away.

“My lord, is that Mrs. Xiao’s wife?” The officers and soldiers on the city wall asked curiously.

Zhang Da nodded and said with a smile: “The mutton we eat on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day was sent by Mrs. Xiao.”

Some officers and soldiers said: “She is different from what I imagined. The family members from the capital look down upon others, but that lady doesn’t feel like she’s putting on airs at all.”

Zhang Da laughed, “Okay, don’t get together and work hard.”

That evening, Xiao Yeyang came from the guard After returning from training, Daohua changed his clothes and asked, “What are you going to do with the refugees outside the city?”

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua: “Why do you ask this suddenly?”

Daohua: “I’m going to the city wall today. Take a look.”

Xiao Yeyang sat down rubbing his head, he was very dissatisfied with Ganzhou Wei Minzheng.

During this period of time, he secretly investigated all the officials of the guard, and found that most of these officials had little knowledge, most of them could only read a few words, and they had no management skills at all.

The defense of Ganzhou Guards was weak, and the people of Xiliao were eyeing them. He didn’t know when they would start a war. He didn’t dare to take it lightly.

The soldiers of the frontier army and the military households of the guards are not good in physical fitness and combat ability, so he has to focus on training and patrolling. Civil affairs are so fast that he can’t do it himself.

Xiao Yeyang deeply felt that no one was available, but he soon thought of Dong Yuanxuan who was exiled to Xiliang.

“Because Ganzhouwei is the closest to Xiliao, it is often harassed by Xiliao people, so the population here has not been large, so I want to keep those refugees here.”

“Resettlement of refugees is not an easy task. We I have to be busy with the military again, so I need to find someone who can be trusted and has the ability to govern to help me.”

“Yuanxuan is in Xiliang, I want to transfer him here.”

Daohua nodded in agreement: “Brother Dong is very knowledgeable. , and was your reading companion, you two are familiar with each other, and you will definitely be able to cooperate well with you in official affairs.”

“In addition, Uncle Dong was the chief political envoy of Zhongzhou before, and he is most familiar with civil affairs. If you have a difficult problem, you can ask him.”

Xiao Yeyang nodded: “I think so too.”

Daohua asked: “Which guard were Brother Dong and the others exiled to?”

Xiao Yeyang: “Jin Weiwei.”

Daohua Hua: “Can you transfer them here?”

Xiao Yeyang said with a smile: “The Commander Jin Weiwei still wants to give it to me.” After thinking about it, “You prepare a gift later, I will give in and run away tomorrow.” A visit to Jinweiwei.”

Daohua nodded: “Okay.”
