husband and wife

Chapter 391

What was destroyed this time was not only the houses of the common people, but also the government houses, and the streets were all destroyed. For the first time, the people in the yamen did not rush to renovate the official houses and the official roads. They first organized people to repair the houses for the common people. In the future, when it was the turn of the public building to be repaired, the common people also spontaneously brought tools and dry food to help. It was originally planned to be completed in three to five days. With so many people working together, it was estimated that it would be completed in one day.

Song Ziheng happened to be away that day, and he saw that the settlement in Qiongzhou City was almost the same, so he took his team to inspect the surrounding counties and towns, leaving only the master Zhang Ran to sit in the yamen.

Zhang Ran is an old scholar, but he is not old-fashioned. He is very flexible. When he heard the report from the yamen servant, he couldn't make up his mind for a while-in fact, the master has no real power and it is difficult to make decisions.So I went to the backyard to find Mrs. Zhizhou.

When Da Niu left before, he also pointed out a clear way for him. If the encounter is not very difficult, there is no need to ask another adult, it is better to ask the wife first. The adult does not shy away from the official duties of the lady. The lady has been influenced by it. , know much more than other idle women.

Zhang Ran doesn't think it's too embarrassing to ask a woman for advice - he didn't think so before, but now it's purely under the influence of the new master. After all, the woman's words are what the master has to consider. He is a master, and there is nothing to be ashamed of that's it.

Sure enough, Su Wan did not disappoint him, Zhang Ran came out from the backyard, and returned to the yamen with a happy face, the yamen servant who had reported earlier hurriedly came over and asked, "Master, can you do something?"

Zhang Ran patted him on the shoulder: "Take two people and move rice and iron pans to the backyard."

"Why move this?" The yamen servant was stunned when he heard this, "The villain reported that the people came to repair the official building and the official road."

"Of course I said so." Zhang Ran didn't raise his eyebrows, "Madam said, the people are so warm-hearted, we can't see outsiders, but we can't let them work in vain and eat the dry food they brought, you bring it first Use the pot to cook the rice, and someone will buy vegetables to cook later, so I will reward everyone with two meals."

The yamen servant heard the word "reward", his eyes lit up, he nodded again and again, and quickly called several people to the backyard.

Zhang Ran was in the yamen to handle some insignificant official duties for Song Ziheng. The yamen servant came up and asked, "Master, it's almost noon. Someone from the backyard came to ask if we want to have dinner first?"

Hearing this, Zhang Ran put down his pen, and suddenly asked, "How about the people who worked before?"

"Should have been eating and resting."

Zhang Ran suddenly became interested: "Tell them not to prepare, let's go outside to eat."

Although he felt that his wife's idea was very good, he was still a little uncertain about the reaction of the people, so he might as well go and see now.

Zhang Ran walked to the middle of the official road, which was the place where everyone was resting. There were 300 yamen servants and common people, and they formed a circle at this moment, chatting happily while eating food.Zhang Ran couldn't help but be fascinated, and the reaction was better than he expected. Has he ever seen such a happy and harmonious atmosphere between the people and the government servants?
Even after seeing the disaster for the first time, the people's faces were not as frowning as he remembered, but relaxed as if they didn't take the disaster seriously.

"Master?" the yamen servant behind couldn't help shouting.

Zhang Ran came back to his senses and walked over again.

The yamen servants and the common people all recognized Zhang Ran and greeted him one after another, without the fear that they had seen him before, as if they regarded him as a close friend.

"Master, did you use up the rice, do you want some?"

"Today's food is good, there are all chicken, duck and fish!"

"You stupid goose, this meal was prepared by Master, will Master not know?"
