Chapter 107 Mountain Village Relief Food
Only then did Liu Ergou realize that he had gone far to find wild vegetables, but he was actually taken back to the village.
"Yes, it's on my village and Liujiagou. Thank you for saving my life. I'm going to dig wild vegetables." Liu Ergou said as he got out of the car and took a basket and a hoe to leave.
The scribe said, "I'm digging wild vegetables. This is the emergency food sent by the governor to everyone. Come back to the village and call for someone."
"Sir, Governor?" Liu Ergou was a little confused. The biggest official he had ever met was Li Zheng in the village.
He really doesn't know what kind of official the governor is, he probably thinks he is similar to the county magistrate.
"Why are you in a daze? Go back to the village and call for people. Get relief grain, seed grain, and old pickles."
Liu Ergou suddenly realized, carried the basket, took the hoe to the entrance of the village and shouted: "Big Dog, Xiaolamb, Liu Ermazi, Liu Damazi, hurry up and get the food at the entrance of the village."
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao could not escape the fate of being called Aman, let alone ordinary villagers.
Liu Ergou's throat fell into the firewood like a spark, and the whole Liujiagou was blown up.
Men, women, old and young came to the threshing farm at the entrance of the village.
Sixty or seventy donkey carts were parked on the threshing ground, and the guards were riding tall horses one by one.
Everyone is here, how dare you come forward?
Still Liu Youcai was wearing silk clothes and bent over and asked, "I dare to ask the official, what are we doing?"
It was not someone else who came, but Lu Bu led the team to help the victims.
Liu Zhubo said: "This is the team of Lord Lu, the governor of Xuzhou, to help the villagers. Are you the official in this village?"
“Yes yes.”
"You go and inform me that anyone who has no surplus grain at home can come and collect it. Each person has 50 kilograms of grain, and there is no need to repay it. But if you need to borrow one or three seed grains, can you understand?" Liu Zhubo pointed to the announcement on the red paper next to him.
"I understand, understand. I'll tell the villagers now."
Each person has 50 kilograms of food, free of charge. However, the seed grain must be returned in the autumn. For example, if you receive ten kilograms of seed grain, you will have to pay 30 kilograms of food in the autumn.
In the years of famine, it is a great favor to give you, and one or three is not too much.
There are not many people in Liujiagou, with a total of about 600 people, and 135 households are registered.
The whole village could hear it. Liu Youcai shouted a few times and the villagers were all here.
Men, women, old, and young are concentrated on the threshing ground.
Seeing that there were many children, Lu Bu said with a move, "Come here, come here. Uncle has candy here."
As for the children, they all love to eat. Everyone comes to collect the milk candy and looks happy.
Master Liu was frivolous and loud: "First, I would like to emphasize again. Those who have no food at home and do not have food to come to receive free food, each person is fifty kilograms. Seed grains are thirty kilograms per household. Those with more land can also receive more seed grains, but in autumn, you have to pay back one or three. The food collected is called potatoes, which are delicious when cooked. But be careful to keep in a cool place and do not shine. If the light germinates, you can't eat them, but you can farm. Remember, the sprouted potatoes are poisonous."
Li Zheng and Liu Youcai repeated it to everyone again. Everyone understood and then they started to line up to collect it.
There are five teams in total, and each team has a main pen in charge.
Xu Sheng was responsible for dialect translation next to him.
Each household has one person, holding the household registration book and queuing up to collect it.
Liu Ergou's family is full of five, and the family is very proud, so he ranks first.
Liu Zhubo checked his household registration book and asked the village elders.
On the spot, 250 kilograms of potatoes and several bags were distributed to Liu Ergou's house. There were also ten kilograms of old pickles and five kilograms of salted salt.
I haven't seen the potatoes before, but they should look delicious.
As for old pickles and salt, that's the best thing.
"Ergou, why are you stupid? How much seed grain is needed?" asked Liu Zhubo.
"My family has three acres of good land and five acres of mountain land."
Liu Zhubo said: "Plant Wenhou rice in three acres of good land, one acre of ten kilograms of seeds, five acres of mountainous land, one acre of ten kilograms of millet seeds, a total of eighty kilograms of seed grain."
Someone later took charge of the matter, and Liu Ergou signed the letter and collected the seeds and grain.
Put the grain, old pickles, and seeds next to it.
Liu Ergou said, "Thank you for saving your life. What you are giving away is not food, but the life of a family of five."
When a person has money, a few hundred kilograms of food is considered a ball. When a person is in trouble, food is fate.
It’s so easy to work, but it will be distributed in just one hour.
The combination is not very reasonable. Cooking potatoes can make you survive the famine, but with old pickles and salt, it is different.
If you have salt, you will have the strength and can work.
This season, there are many wild grasses and vegetables, and they can be overcome with some combination. The main thing is that there is seed grain. When hope comes, no matter how great the difficulties are, they will become small.
Liu Zhubo came over and asked Lu Bu: "Lord, there are seven families in the village who haven't come. They should have gone to the county town to escape famine. Liu Youcai, the Lizheng, said he was the one who took the lead."
It is difficult to do grassroots work, but it is impossible for the fleet to come again in the deserted village. Who is used if you don’t need it?
"Send it to him and let him send it back to the villagers."
"yes."
Liu Zhubo gave the remaining 1,500 kilograms of potatoes to Liu Youcai, dozens of kilograms of pickles, salty salt, and more than 200 kilograms of corn seeds and grains to Liu Youcai, the Lizheng.
In order to supervise the normal distribution, everyone in the village knew about Liu Youcai's handling of the matter.
The villagers brought the food and sent it home. They all came back spontaneously to the threshing ground to thank Lu Bu.
Lu Bu delivered an inspiring speech: "The locust plague is ruthless, and people have feelings. There are difficulties, but not scary. As long as we firmly believe in it, we can overcome difficulties. Friends, work hard, and the autumn of harvest will come soon."
Everyone was filled with tears in their eyes and said so well.
Lu Bu led the convoy to the next village. Halfway through the way, he met dozens of people wearing tattered clothes. When he saw the convoy coming, he hurried beside him.
Lu Bu stopped the Red Rabbit Horse and went over and asked, "Which village are you from?"
"Go back to General, we are from Liujiagou Village."
"Then go back quickly. The food, old pickles, and seeds have been sent to Liu Youcai." Lu Bu said.
"Thank you, General."
Next, Lu Bu went to Laowangzhuang more than ten miles away to distribute food and seed grain to the affected villagers.
He was busy until dark. Seeing that it was already late, Lu Bu arranged to say, "Let's camp on the spot and return to the county town tomorrow."
The area of the disaster is not large, and coupled with the efforts of the local county government, the relief work is basically over.
Huo Tou Jun was cooking, and Lu Bu was planning to go to the tent to read a book.
At this time, I heard the crying voice of the people not far away: "We want to meet the governor, we want to meet the governor."
