The girl who wears fast

Chapter 334 I heard that I am the best (21)

Mu Mansion, study room.

Mu Yunchao was discussing with a group of his subordinates the recent influx of refugees into Cuicheng.

"What do you think should be done with these refugees? There have been more and more refugees in recent days, and the people in Cuicheng have begun to feel uneasy. If these refugees are not handled properly, there will be big troubles." Mu Yunchao massaged in distress Frowning, he asked his subordinates in a low voice.

One of the middle-aged white-faced scholar-like aides frowned and said: "My lord, according to reports from our spies, the torrential rain in Licheng has lasted for more than half a month, many villages have been submerged, and many people have died. There is no sign of the end of the torrential rain, the flood is getting more and more raging, and there will definitely be more people fleeing in the future. If they all flood into our place, the consequences will be disastrous... Therefore, my subordinate's suggestion is to close the city!"

"What? Closing the city?! Are you crazy? So many refugees were displaced and escaped to us after a narrow escape, but we are going to close the city and not allow them to enter? Isn't this just turning a blind eye? Lao Liu, you are too cruel Already!" Another tall and burly man said with great disapproval.

The middle-aged staff member said displeasedly: "I'm ruthless? Have you ever thought about the consequences of a large number of refugees flooding into our city in a short period of time? Those refugees need food and shelter. If they can still have some wealth, It can barely solve the problem of food, clothing and housing, but more refugees flee here without a penny, so how will they solve the problem of food, clothing and housing? Will they steal or rob when they are so hungry? What will the local people do if they have a conflict? Will they kill people? Then the local people will definitely have greater conflicts with the refugees, and even become hostile to each other... How will we solve it then?!"

When the tall man heard his words, he was quite reasonable, and immediately didn't know how to refute, so he stuck his neck in anxiety and shouted: "But if you leave them outside the city, don't just watch them Are you going to die? If you enter the city, there will always be other ways, right?"

"Hmph! What can we do then? Don't I want to save more people? But we don't have the energy to save them now. Don't forget, our own soldiers are still short of food and clothing, so we can't manage other people... ...You said I was ruthless, and I can only admit it, who told us to only manage our own people well now?" The middle-aged staff member said with a deep sigh.

"Old Liu is right. It's not that we don't want to save them, but that we really don't have the energy to spare. The most we can do is let them build refugee camps outside the city, raise some money and food for relief, and let them return when the flood subsides." Township." Another younger scholar said, he is also Mu Yunchao's counselor, but he is younger than Liu's staff, but his resourcefulness is not inferior to him.

Mu Yunchao looked at the young counselor, sighed, and asked, "Then do you think the money and food we donated are enough to support more and more refugees? If we donate them for a few days and the money and food donated run out, we're done." Relief, let them fend for themselves outside, will they blame us instead, and then forcefully break through the city gate to come in?"

Several people were stunned when they heard this. They obviously didn't expect this possibility. The young counselor blushed and said, "It's because I took it for granted and didn't think it through."

Staff Liu coughed lightly, and said, "My lord is far-sighted."

"This doesn't work and that doesn't work! Then what should we do?" The tall man scratched his head and said in great distress, "Should we send people to drive them away and prevent them from gathering outside our city?" ? No, no, this is not acceptable..."

For a while, Mu Yunchao couldn't think of any suitable way to deal with those refugees who came from afar, but he knew that he couldn't let them flow into Cuicheng without order, and he had to settle them in a comprehensive way, otherwise it would be easy to cause trouble. Something went wrong.

"Go back and think about a solution, and pay close attention to the situation of refugees outside the city. If there are more refugees coming, I will deal with it." Mu Yunchao saw that no one had come up with a good solution, so he had to put this issue aside and discuss it instead. Other things, as the protagonist, he has countless important things to deal with personally every day, and he can't put all his time and energy on one thing.

He can't spare the energy to deal with those refugees for the time being, but his wife Liu Yan, who considers herself a good housekeeper, will take the initiative to help her husband solve his troubles.

As a well-educated lady, Liu Yan has of course been educated by your wife, such as how to get along well with her husband's boss, colleagues or subordinates' wives, how to educate children, how to manage housework, and what to do for yourself or for others. Husband adds good name...

Now that there are a large number of refugees in Cuicheng, isn't it a good time for her to establish a good reputation for herself and her husband?She immediately thought of how to raise donations from the noble ladies and big businessmen in the city to help the victims.

As Mu Yunchao's wife, she was obliged to be the leader of the fundraiser, so she was very excited and discussed with the maids under her how to raise more money and food from the rich households in the city.

Soon, news spread that Mrs. Mu was going to hold a flower viewing party. I heard that many people in the city were invited, not only the officials, but even the famous restaurants and rice grain owners in the city. Here comes the invitation.

Outsiders didn't know, and said that Mrs. Mu was really approachable, and she put down her attitude to make friends with businessmen, but those who received the invitation and were more sensitive, they clicked, knowing that there must be something strange about this matter, maybe it was a Hongmen banquet.

But it was the wife of the city lord who sent the invitation, no matter how uneasy they felt, they could only go to the banquet.

Of course, except Zhou Shichu.

Zhou Shichu never expected that she would also be invited to Liu Yan's flower viewing party. She thought that after reconciling with Li Wei, Liu Yan would not take her, Li Wei's ex-wife seriously, but she did not expect And invite yourself to a banquet?

Zhou Shichu's first reaction was that Liu Yan was uneasy and kind to him, maybe this kind of flower appreciation would plot against her, who made Liu Yan like to force others to do things according to her ideas for the good name of others?What if Liu Yan felt that it was too pitiful for her to be separated from Li Weihe, and suddenly wanted to marry her?

Don't think this is impossible, with Liu Yan's brain circuit, this is very likely to happen, although Zhou Shichu couldn't agree, but she doesn't want to meet Liu Yan, so there is no need to go to any flower viewing party.

This time, Zhou Shichu really guessed wrong why Liu Yan invited her. Liu Yan didn't want to be a matchmaker for her this time, she just wanted to get money from her!

As Liu Yan who is very concerned about the situation of the Li family, she soon found out about Zhou Shichu's reconciliation with Li Wei, and she also knew that Zhou Shichu's restaurant did not lose business because of the lack of Li Wei as a backer, but because of the lack of family affairs. Don't bother, put more energy in the shop, and earn more.
