Chapter 123 Arrange transfer
And Wei Ruo is worried that the next rain will be heavier and the temperature will continue to drop.
"Okay, miss, I have no problem, I will go wherever you go!" Xiumei replied without hesitation.
"There is also the batch of charcoal I purchased in Huzhou Prefecture. I remember that in addition to coal and better quality silver bone charcoal, there was also a batch of poor quality black charcoal, which was also purchased at a low price."
Coal is suitable for heating kangs and boilers, but charcoal is generally used for daily heating in homes in the south. Both silver bone charcoal and black charcoal belong to charcoal, but the smoke produced when burning is different, and the price difference is also relatively large. Silver bone charcoal is generally used by rich people, and most ordinary people use black charcoal.
"Yes."
"Send a message to the nanny later, asking her to save this part of the charcoal. I plan to give this batch of charcoal to the needy poor people for free. We didn't spend much money when we bought it, but according to the current situation, even if it is The price of this kind of inferior charcoal is also unaffordable for many people." Wei Ruo said.
"Miss, I heard that my wife is in a hurry to buy charcoal. The cold wave came early this year, and like many people in the house, I haven't had time to buy charcoal yet."
"Leave them alone, no matter what the Wei family says, they will definitely live well in Xingshan County. For the Wei family, life is just a little bit more difficult and money is tighter. It will be fatal for many people." Wei Ruo said.
Wei Ruo and Xiumei went out after a little preparation.
Before going out, Xiumei added several clothes to Wei Ruo. Fortunately, the clothes they brought back from Mojiazha were thick. Although the style was simple, they were effective in keeping warm.
Wei Ruo came to the county magistrate's yamen. Because of the incident in the south of the city, most of the yamen servants in the magistrate's yamen knew Wei Ruo, so they invited her in and informed the county magistrate.
The magistrate of Qian County is also very busy these days, but he heard that Wei Ruo asked to see him, so he put down his busy work and came to see him.
"Miss Wei came to see me today, what do you mean?" Qian Zhixian didn't have time to be courteous with Wei Ruo, so he went straight to the point.
Thinking about it, if Wei Ruo can come to him in such a heavy rain, it must not be to gossip.
"It's for the people who opened up wasteland in the south of the city. They now live next to the fields. Those thatched huts are too simple, with serious rain and wind leakage, and are easily flooded or collapsed. I hope Lord Qian can arrange people to transfer them as soon as possible." Go to a safe place." Wei Ruo said.
Qian Zhixian slapped his head suddenly: "How could I forget them!"
In the past few days, Qianzhi County has been dizzy with all kinds of things. The lake overflowed, and the bridge collapsed.
That is all human life!
"I'm going to send someone to transfer people to the yamen! There is a warehouse in the yamen that can accommodate some people!"
While talking, Qian Zhixian hurriedly called the master, and told the master to take people to transfer the people in the south of the city immediately.
"I'll go with you too." Wei Ruo said.
"Miss Wei, this is not good, because it has been raining for days, the south of the city is muddy, and it is raining so much, and the weather is cold, it will be bad if you catch cold." Qian Zhixian persuaded.
"I'm fine. I'm dressed very warmly. I'm already much better than those people in the south of the city. Let me go. I'm afraid they won't leave because they are worried about the newly sprouted wheat. It will be more effective if I persuade them. "
It makes sense to say so.
"Okay then, I'll let the yamen guards protect your safety." Qian Zhixian then told the yamen guards who went with him to protect Wei Ruo's safety.
Wei Ruo is a person whom the Seventh Prince attaches great importance to, and he dare not let her cause trouble in his hands.
Arriving in the south of the city in a carriage, Mr. Chen asked Wei Ruo to stay in the carriage first, and he took people to persuade the people to leave first.
Wei Ruo didn't listen, got out of the carriage directly, put on the same coir raincoat as the others, and drove to the people's residence.
"Master, you should take care of me first. Let's hurry up and move everyone away. It will be even more troublesome when it gets dark. I am afraid that it will rain heavily tonight, and I am also afraid that the temperature will drop again."
After hearing Wei Ruo's words, the master didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly took the yamen servants into action.
In addition to the official road in the south of the city, the other small roads were recently reclaimed and stepped on, and became muddy after it rained.
When Wei Ruo walked into the first house, it was a bamboo house made of moso bamboo. The room was very simple. There was a bed on the left hand side of the door, which was also made of bamboo.
In the entire room, only the roof above the bed has been reinforced and there is no water leakage. Other places are also leaking from east to west, and the rain is dripping.
The three grandparents and grandchildren in the room hugged each other tightly, curled up on the bed, a cold quilt was wrapped around the three of them, and the two old people protected the child in the middle.
At this moment, Wei Ruo regretted that he came late. He knew that he should have come when it rained for two days.
When it first rained, Wei Ruozhen didn't know that the rain was so heavy that it would cause so many problems.
Based on the memory of the original owner, Wei Ruo only knew that winter started early this year, and there was a rain. He didn't know how the poorest people spent this year.
The original owner was patronizing and venting anger with his family at the time, and didn't go out. He didn't care much about the rain, so he didn't know these details.
Wei Ruo asked the three of them to go with him: "Folks, come with us. The county magistrate has arranged for you a temporary shelter from the wind and rain."
The old man shook his head: "No, our crops have just been planted, I have to watch, what if the rain floods the seedlings?"
"Don't worry, even if this batch is flooded, I can get you a new batch to plant." Wei Ruo said.
"If you don't plant any more, it will be too late, and the time is wrong." The old man said.
"Don't worry about this, I will find you late-planted wheat seeds, and I will help you improve and plant them later to ensure that they grow well!" Wei Ruo assured the old man.
The old man looked at Wei Ruo and hesitated.
Wei Ruo continued: "Don't you still believe my ability? Haven't you seen all the rice grown in your field? Is it later than other rice fields, but more than other rice fields?"
"You come with us now, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your wife and your little grandson. If you suffer from cold and disaster, what's the point of having a good harvest?"
Wei Ruo's persuasion worked.
The old man hurriedly got off the bed, took his wife with one hand, and picked up his grandson with the other.
They put on straw sandals on the ground, the ground was covered with rainwater, and their feet were soaked directly in the icy water.
Wei Ruo and Xiumei came forward to help the old man hold his grandson and help the old lady.
After handing over the family to the Yamen servants, they rushed to the next family without stopping.
