Chapter 108 Relief for Disaster Victims
"Dad, please lend me a team of people to maintain order."
Doctor Yuan has treated several patients infected with the plague. Although the prescription has begun to be developed, it will always take time. Jiang Ruohua does not want to wait blindly, but wants to do something: "Dad has been returning home exhausted these days. , it must be the refugees who are making trouble for you."
"It's too dangerous." Prince Jiang disagreed. "In this case, you can just keep the rice and porridge. These displaced people outside are difficult for even the officers and soldiers to deal with. How can you do it alone?"
"Dad can be here, why can't I be here?" Jiang Ruohua will not leave. "Even if I am not a man, I still want to do things and am willing to do them. Before something happens, refugees are not refugees but Ordinary people, comforting people's hearts is far more important than giving porridge, so why not give it a try?"
Jiang Shizi felt that he had not given birth to this daughter in vain, and her courage was not inferior to that of a man, but no father wanted anything to happen to his child.
In the end, she compromised and asked Jiang Ruohua to go up to the city wall to try and see if she could calm the refugees down with some words.
Standing on the city wall, Jiang Ruohua's heart was beating violently. Although she was familiar with every word and practiced it beforehand, she still felt nervous. It was the first time she spoke so much in front of so many people. The chaos of the refugees at first made her very nervous. Soon after the officers and soldiers stopped her and she made some remarks, it gradually became quiet.
The porridge was distributed spoon by spoon. Although not everyone could eat enough, the warm porridge always gave these people hope.
"I will come again tomorrow, and I hope you can bear with me until a cure is developed."
After returning, he worked non-stop with his servants to prepare food for tomorrow. There were too many people outside the city, and the consumption was far beyond expectations. Jiang Ruohua asked Gan Yunsheng to find ways to make money from those who were sitting on the mountain of food but rushed to make money at this time. People with dirty money have money in their hands, so there is no need to act in a glamorous manner.
"Miss, I will go with you tomorrow."
Li Ge wiped his sweat and looked at the temporary stoves set up in the Duke's Mansion, feeling worried.
"We still have enough manpower now." Jiang Ruohua watched all this in person, and then said, "I have to be busy with this matter, and I'm afraid the mansion won't be able to take care of it. Aunt Ying is still pregnant, and Aunt Yuan has to look after her young son. It can’t be left unattended, so I leave it to you.”
"Yes..." Li Ge's interest seemed to fade a little, but he didn't complain. Almost all the servants in the mansion were busy and wanted to contribute to the plague. Jiang Ruohua gave them twice as much extra money this month. Money, the servants' complaints stopped abruptly.
In fact, she was a little curious about why Jiang Ruohua did this.
But if you continue doing this day by day, people's mentality seems to have changed. There are actually wealthy families in Beijing who are willing to give porridge, but there are few who do it like Jiang Ruohua, who almost puts everything in. Others are rushing to It was time to earn some fame, but they didn't expect that among them there would be a person who really wanted to feed all the refugees.
Jiang Ruohua is using practical actions to show her brilliance to the world.
It is shocking enough to be in charge of a huge government palace at such a young age. Not to mention that it is very organized, but even under such circumstances, he can devote so much energy to do things that others cannot do.
Not to mention that the white porridge that was delivered every day was not only plentiful, but also unlike other clear soups with only a few grains of rice in the bowl.
But with such a large amount of daily supply, even if the Jiang family is hollowed out, even with the help of the Wen family, it is far from enough. Soon someone knew the existence of Gan Yunsheng and knew that this man was helping the Jiang family fight. management industry, and are using some unfair means to obtain food to help refugees.
Jiang Ruohua and the Duke's Mansion suddenly became popular among ordinary people, but it also hindered those evil-minded people who were trying to make a fortune. They began to fabricate and fabricate all the evil words against Jiang Ruohua.
"unacceptable!"
Everyone in the Duke's Mansion was fighting for Jiang Ruohua's injustice, but these people were not ashamed to use those unpleasant words against a teenage woman!
"Okay, forget it after hearing it." Jiang Ruohua took a look at today's share and yawned a little tiredly, "No matter what is said outside, it is just to target us. Is it possible that because of their words, Let’s not do it?”
Giving soup day by day, although it is inevitable that some people will die due to the plague, it is not useless. It would be false to say that there is no sense of accomplishment. In the past, who would have dared to think that a woman and a group of servants could do it. What about relief for victims?
This has always been a matter for officials and men.
Li Ge once curiously asked about the doubts in her heart day after day, and Jiang Ruohua's answer was: If she wants to do it and can do it, then just do it.
Looking at those people who find it difficult to live, perhaps it is hard to suppress her compassion, but can she only have compassion in her heart?
When an ordinary woman encounters something, she asks her father to solve it before she gets married. After she gets married, her husband solves it. When her husband passes away, her son solves it. When she can't see these people, she prays for them day and night. Jiang Ruohua couldn't help but think about others. What’s the point of solving problems and praying day and night for someone to help solve them?
A lot of time was spent, but to no avail.
So why doesn't she do it herself?
She also grew up hearing about her father's reputation and stories about loyal and virtuous ministers. She also learned about serving the country with loyalty and loyalty. She was immersed in all this, but she didn't want to just be immersed in it all her life.
The public opinion from the outside and the slander from those with ulterior motives did not hit Jiang Ruohua. Instead, she increasingly felt that if she didn't do it, who else would be willing to do it?
Fortunately, both his father, grandfather, and other family members supported Jiang Ruohua's approach. The Jiang family has been loyal and loyal for generations. Both men and women should have the word "loyalty" engraved in their bones and blood!
Instructing Gan Yunsheng to use unfair means to obtain food was naturally disgraceful, but such an action solved the emperor's urgent need.
Since the man on the Dragon Throne is sitting in this position, he is naturally worried about the people, but asking these rich people to spit out food for the court and refugees is like going to heaven, and the national treasury does not have that much money. , it is even more impossible to meet the requirements of these rich people.
Jiang Ruohua did something disgraceful, but he did what the emperor wanted to do but couldn't.
As a result, not only was the Jiang family not punished, but they were praised and rewarded by the emperor. The emperor was even more shocked when he learned that this was actually the idea of a little girl named Jiang Ruohua.
