Chapter 201 Prospect for promotion

Su Xiaomu really couldn't imagine the scene of someone freezing to death on the road.

What's more, among those bones were people she had just met and saved today.

"Everything will be fine. The county magistrate is a good official. Don't you know this too?"

Gu Jingcheng patted Su Xiaomu's hand and told her to comfort her.

"I asked people to bring all the food and supplies we had to the ruined temple. In addition to the two days of charcoal fire left behind, I also prepared a few more days of food for them. I also gave them a lot of anti-cold medicine.

I know that these are all your thoughts, so I tell them that they are what you ordered people to do."

Gu Jingcheng wanted to prevent Su Xiaomu from worrying too much about this matter, so he sent people to deliver things to the ruined temple as soon as he came back. He definitely would not let Su Xiaomu make any mistakes in her good deeds.

If she wants to accumulate virtue, help her accumulate virtue together.

"They should thank you."

Su Xiaomu did not expect that Gu Jingcheng would do this. She knew that although Gu Jingcheng was also a cold-faced and warm-hearted person, he was definitely not as easy to spread kindness to strangers as she was.

"Thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't take action."

What Gu Jingcheng told was the truth, although it sounded a bit cold-blooded.

——

There was a charcoal fire in the house, making it warm and peaceful.

The cold wind was howling outside the house, and people passing by were all covering their clothes tightly, fearing that bees would accidentally get in through their clothes and chill their bones.

The county magistrate is now holding the prevention and treatment methods sent by Gu Jingcheng in a warm room and asking everyone in the county government to implement these methods and do their best to treat the people.

The autumn harvest has almost been completed. Although there is no time to collect the grain tax from the people this year, there is still a lot left in the Chen Mi Mansion Yamen from last year.

In addition, the county magistrate also found a few wealthy merchants in the city and cut a lot of meat from them, and finally gathered enough food to make porridge for half a month.

There are not many refugees in the city. Most of them are the old, weak, sick and disabled who have no livelihood in the first place, as well as poor families who rely on working for others to support their families.

Although everyone has their own hardships, and not everyone really has no food to eat, the act of donating porridge has greatly alleviated their life crisis.

On the first day of giving out porridge, almost every household in the city who could walk, run, and stand up to take a breath came out in full force to receive food and drink porridge.

Everyone was afraid that the porridge donation was just a formality. As for the shelter behind the porridge shed, no one except the refugees paid much attention to that place.

When we gave out porridge on the second day, the number of people was still higher than before. However, the number of people eating porridge was obviously much smaller than the number of people receiving food. However, there were more people coming to the shelter.

When we gave out porridge on the third day, the number of people who drank porridge was only half of the number yesterday. Most of them came straight for food, while the number of people who went to the shelter was only one-third of the number on the second day.

On the fourth day, the number of people eating porridge and receiving food became stable.

During the past four days, the county magistrate has been sending people to calculate the quantities of the two places, and also used the method of providing work-for-relief to repair all the houses damaged by the heavy snow at full speed.

There are more people walking on the road, more houses are being repaired, and many shops are opening their doors and starting to do business.

Within ten days, Fucheng had restored most of its previous flow of people, and all streets and two-thirds of the shops were back in business.

If it weren't for the snow on the road and the wind blowing in their ears, no one would have known that such a big snow disaster had happened here before.

In the past ten days, Su Xiaomu donated a lot of things and food in the name of Dream Building. She even sent the top three people who spent the most money to her to create a free advertisement for her Dream Building.

The names were also added to those who donated things and food.

Quan should give her loyal customers a feedback and earn a wave of goodwill in front of the people of the city.

After all, who wouldn’t want to gain a good reputation without spending any money?

Luo Yi and Chen Anning knew that Su Xiaomu donated money and things, so they each donated money in the name of the two governments.

It's just that they are all boudoir girls who have not left the court, and it is not convenient for them to serve porridge on the roadside like Su Xiaomu, so they can only send their servants to help Su Xiaomu.

During these ten days, the people worked hard and the county magistrate worked hard. Everyone suffered a little at the beginning, but everyone lived a happy life in the following days.

The county magistrate treated everyone equally and did not look down on the refugees, treating their lives as nothing.

Nor did he deny ordinary people in the city a chance to survive just because they wanted to protect the weak.

Therefore, in the past ten days, although the people all praised Su Xiaomu as a reincarnated living Bodhisattva on earth, they did not forget the kindness of the county magistrate. Everyone praised him extremely, and some even said that they would give him a gift.

The county magistrate donated a plaque.

Su Xiaomu was really surprised when he first learned about this.

After all, this country attaches great importance to reputation. If an official can be loved by the people and receive plaques from the people, then his future political career is expected to be extremely smooth.

But after the snow stopped, Su Xiaomu later learned about the data on snow disaster injuries and damage from surrounding counties, and learned that their capital city was the least affected recently, with the fewest deaths, so it was not surprising to the people.

action.

The county magistrate is really good. If nothing else, he is able to save the lives of so many people. This is already worthy of people's gratitude.

County government.

The room was still warm and cozy, but this time in addition to the warm temperature, the atmosphere was also very harmonious and warm.

"With regard to this snowstorm and the last locust plague, I'm afraid that your boy has left his name somewhere with His Majesty. So... you will definitely be expected to be promoted this year. I'm afraid that I won't be able to see you here after the new year."

Already."

Master Wan knew that the county magistrate had a chance to be promoted, so he was really happy for his old friend.

"After spending so much time in Fucheng, I almost thought you were going to retire here with me."

Wan Fuzi touched his beard and felt a little reluctant to leave.

"I would also like to thank you for your good disciple, and for marrying such a good wife. If the two of them hadn't helped me a lot...then neither the locust plague nor the snow disaster would have been able to be solved so properly."

There is hope for promotion, and the county magistrate is of course extremely happy.

But he also knew in his heart who gave him such a good opportunity, and he knew how to be grateful.

"If it weren't for the two of them, I'm afraid I wouldn't even know when these two disasters happened or when they would be at their peak. Let alone being promoted, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to keep the black gauze hat on my head."

The county magistrate was also extremely emotional in his heart. He was extremely lucky that he had met a noble person.
