Chapter 401 Donate

"Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely handle this matter well!"

Lord Zeng's confidants took the bank note, their eyes were full, but it was a pity that Master Zeng didn't notice.

He is now the only confidant who can use him, his martial arts are not bad, and he can go out from his mansion.

At noon, the rain stopped completely.

But the flood is still there, and it is expected that it will completely subside in two or three days, and the refugees are temporarily homeless.

There are too many people, just cooking porridge requires a lot of rice.

The refugee site is divided into three places, the county magistrate of Fengliang is in charge of the site in the neighboring county, and the other site is in charge of two mayors.

But the city with the most refugees is Meicheng.

Yue Lingzhi promised to provide food and lodging for them, and the other two places would also transport food there.

The two warehouses were full of grain, and they were emptied all at once.

The refugees are all worried.

Three days later, the flood receded, all the crops were gone, and the food for the house was also gone. The future survival will also become a problem.

The only fortunate thing is that the lives of the family were saved, and most of the valuables were brought with them, and some people even carried some food.

Those wealthy businessmen in Meicheng were moved by Gu Zheng and Yue Lingzhi's charitable deeds, and spontaneously began to raise money.

The governor also rushed to Meicheng in the afternoon, and he visited the victims as a routine, and then began to direct the aftermath work.

Floating corpses on the water surface should be salvaged in time, and the corpses would stink and easily cause plague.

In view of the outrage, tens of thousands of people petitioned to severely punish the prefect of Meicheng, the governor restricted Master Zeng's freedom, and he could be punished as he wanted to collect the crimes and report them to the court.

The petition of ten thousand people was initiated by Xie Chen and the others. Next, Gu Zheng will collect evidence against the prefect of the dog and kill him in one go.

Three days later, the flood receded.

But seeing the crops and houses covered by silt, the victims were crying again.

The government’s relief funds have not yet arrived, and even if they did, it would be a drop in the bucket, and they could only rely on non-governmental organizations to raise donations.

Yue Lingzhi and Gu Zheng took the opportunity to extend an olive branch. If they wish, Luokang Mountain can recruit some people.

The victims, who had no land and no land, scrambled to sign up to settle in Luokang Mountain.

Even victims with few fields rushed to sign up.

After all, the characters of Yue Lingzhi and Gu Zheng are obvious to all.

But Luokung Mountain definitely cannot accommodate so many people.

Gu Zheng and Yue Lingzhi also suggested to them that there are places on both sides of the road from Luokang Mountain to the county town that are suitable for reclaiming wasteland and settling down.

He also promised that those who decide to open up wasteland and settle on both sides of the road will get three to 50 taels of silver for each family.

In this way, the problem of diverting the victims has been solved, and the next step is to find a way to raise more charity funds faster.

Yue Lingzhi and Gu Zheng have already donated the food from the two warehouses, and they also promised to donate a penny for every pill sold.

Regardless of the small amount of money, the two shops in Ci'antang retail and wholesale pills every day, at least 20 to [-] pills.

In other words, Gu Zheng and Yue Lingzhi donated 200 to [-] taels of silver every day, and after two months, there were tens of thousands of taels.

This is tantamount to making a big advertisement for Ci'an Hall. In the whole country of the Great Xia Dynasty, no one knew about the pills of Ci'an Hall, and no one knew about Yue Lingzhi and Gu Zheng.

And more people are willing to pay for the pills from Ci An Tang.

Other businesses followed suit.

Especially the Chu family in Yuecheng, after donating 2 taels of silver notes, also promised to donate ten Wen for every tael of silver that He Chuntang received.

This amount is not small.
