Chapter 123 Arranging transfers

And Wei Ruo is worried that the next rain will be heavier and the temperature will continue to drop.

“Yes, miss, I have no problem, I’ll go wherever you go!” Xiu Mei replied without hesitation.

“There was also the batch of charcoal that I purchased earlier in the Huzhou Prefecture, and I remember that at that time, in addition to coal and better quality silver bone charcoal, there was also a batch of black charcoal that was not of good quality, which was also purchased at a low price.”

Coal is suitable for burning kang and boiler, while charcoal is usually used for daily heating in the south. Silver bone charcoal and black charcoal both belong to charcoal, but there is a difference in the smoke produced when burned, and the price difference is also relatively big, silver bone charcoal is usually used by rich people, and most of the ordinary people use black charcoal.

“Yes.”

“Turn around and give a message to Nurse, let her set aside this portion of charcoal, I’m going to give this batch of charcoal to the needy and poor people for free, at that time we didn’t spend a lot of money when we were picking it up, but according to this situation now, even the price of this kind of poor quality charcoal is unaffordable to a lot of people.” Wei Ruo said.

“Miss, I heard that Madam’s side is in a hurry to buy charcoal, the cold wave came early this year, and the mansion, like so many others, has not yet had time to buy it.”

“First regardless of them, the Wei family any more will definitely be the head of the Xingshan County to live well, for the Wei family is just a little bit of hard times, silver money is tense, for a good number of people is to die.” Wei Ruo Road.

Wei Ruo and Xiu Mei went out after a little preparation.

Before going out, Xiu Mei added several pieces of clothing to Wei Ruo. Luckily, the clothes they brought back from Mojiajie had thick ones, and even though the style was plain, they kept her warm very well.

Wei Ruo came to the magistrate’s office, because of the matter in the south of the city, most of the magistrates in the magistrate’s office knew Wei Ruo, so they invited her in and went to inform Magistrate Qian.

Qian Zhixian is also very busy these days, but heard that it is Wei Ruoyuan, or put down the hands are busy things to see.

“What is it that Miss Wei came to find me today?” Qian Zhixian didn’t have time to be polite with Wei Ruo, and came up to get straight to the point.

I think Wei Ruo can brave such a heavy rain to find him will not come to gossip.

“It’s for the people in the south of the city who are opening up the land, they are now living next to the fields, those grass huts and thatched roofs are all too simple, with serious leakage of rain and wind, and they are also prone to flooding or collapsing. I hope that Lord Qian can arrange manpower to move them to a safe place as soon as possible.” Wei Ruo said.

Governor Qian slammed his head, “Why did I forget about them!”

In recent days, Qian Zhixian was busy by all kinds of things, and lake water, and there is a bridge collapsed, all kinds of things are endless, a time actually did not think of the south of the city there is a part of the people.

Those are human lives!

“I’m going to send someone to move the people to the courthouse! There’s a warehouse at the courthouse that can house some people!”

Said Qian Zhixian busy calling the master, instructing the master to immediately take people to transfer the people in the south of the city.

“I’ll go along.” Wei Ruo said.

“Miss Wei, it’s not good, because it’s been raining for days, the south of the city is muddy, and with such heavy rain and cold weather, it’s not good if you get cold.” Governor Qian persuaded.

“I’m fine, I’m dressed warmly, already I don’t know how much better than those people in the south of the city, you let me go, I’m afraid that they won’t leave for fear of the wheat that has just come out of the seedling, and it’ll be more effective for me to go and persuade them.”

It makes sense to say that.

“Alright then, I will have the magistrates protect your safety.” Governor Qian followed up by instructing the magistrates who went with him to make sure they protect Wei Ruo’s safety.

Wei Ruo was someone that even the Seventh Prince valued, he wouldn’t dare let anything happen to her at his hands.

Arriving at the south of the city in a carriage, Master Chen first told Wei Ruo to stay in the carriage while he led the people to persuade them to leave.

Wei Ruo did not listen, directly got off the carriage, put on the same straw raincoat as the others, and rushed toward the people’s residence.

“Master, you can worry about me for now, let’s hurry up and move all the people away, when it gets dark it will be even more troublesome, I’m afraid that it will rain heavily tonight, and I’m also afraid that the temperature will drop again.”

Hearing Wei Ruo’s words, the master didn’t dare to delay and hurriedly led the magistrates into action.

The paths in the south of the city, except for the official road, were all recently reclaimed and trampled, and became muddy after it rained.

When Wei Ruo walked into the first family, it was a bamboo house built with moso bamboo, the room was very simple, enter the door on the left hand side is a bed couch, also built out of bamboo.

In the whole room, only the roof above the bed was reinforced and did not leak, while the rest of the room leaked from the east and the west, and the rain dripped.

The three grandchildren in the room were hugging each other tightly, curled up on the bed, a cold, hard quilt wrapped around the three of them, and the two old men protecting the child in the middle.

At this moment, Wei Ruo regretted that he had come late, had known that he should have come when it had just rained for two days.

When it first fell, Wei Ruo really didn’t realize that the rain was so heavy that it would cause so many problems.

And Wei Ruo according to the original owner’s memory also only know that this year into the winter early, also had a rain, do not know how the poorest of the poor people in this year to spend.

The original owner at that time focused on anger with the family, did not go out, did not care much about the rain, also do not know these details.

Wei Ruo told the three to follow him, “You guys come with us, the governor has arranged a temporary shelter from the storm for you.”

The old uncle shook his head, “No, our crops have just been planted, I have to watch them, what if the rain is even heavier and drowns all the seedlings?”

“Don’t worry, even if this batch gets flooded, I can get you a new batch to plant on.” Wei Ruo said.

“It’s not too late to plant again, it’s not the right time.” The old man said.

“Don’t worry about this, I’ll get you late planted wheat seeds, and I’ll help you improve the planting later, I’ll make sure they grow well!” Wei Ruo assured the old man.

The old uncle looked at Wei Ruo and hesitated a bit.

Wei Ruo continued, “Don’t you believe in my ability? Didn’t you all see the rice grown in your field? Isn’t it later than other paddies, but produces more than other paddies?”

“You come with us now, even if you don’t think about yourself, you have to think about your old partner and your little grandchildren, if you suffer from the cold, suffering, what is the meaning of your crops?”

Wei Ruo’s persuasion worked.

The old man was busy getting down from his bed, pulling his partner with one hand and picking up his grandson with the other.

They put on their straw shoes on the ground, which was all rainwater, and their feet amounted to a direct soak in the cold water.

Wei Ruo and Xiu Mei came up to help the old man hold his grandson and assist the old woman.

After handing this family over to the magistrate, he hoofed it to the next one.
