Chapter 262 Disaster Relief Supplies Were Robbed
"And the most important thing for us now is to find out what these people are trying to do."
The county magistrate knew all this, but he still felt resentful. "Originally, I was thinking of arranging for these disaster victims to return home in two days, but..."
He sighed heavily.
Doctor Deng understood his feelings and said, "Don't think too much, County Magistrate. You need to focus on the current situation."
The county magistrate rubbed his face and calmed down. "Doctor Deng is right. I need to pay attention to my center of gravity."
"I've already posted a notice. I'm sure many disaster victims will be willing to take the money and food and return home."
Doctor Deng thought this was a good idea. "The fewer disaster victims there are outside the town, the more difficult it will be for those people to do anything."
The county magistrate took this into consideration and said, "I'm also thinking about looking for jobs in the town, those that are relatively hard and dirty, and that the townspeople are unwilling to do, and arranging them for the victims."
"However, some people in this town will definitely not be happy with this."
Doctor Deng said, "No one can satisfy everyone."
"The county magistrate only needs to do his job and satisfy most people."
With his words, the county magistrate felt much more at ease. "Thank you, Doctor Deng."
Then he talked about the accumulated snow. "Doctor Deng, do you have any good ideas to get rid of the snow and ice as quickly as possible?"
"I originally wanted to use manpower, but it's too slow and requires too much manpower."
Doctor Deng said, "This is indeed a problem."
"We can't let the disaster victims come into the town to clean up the snow, but we can let them clean up the snow on the official roads and outside the town."
The county magistrate said, "Many of the people in this town have their own jobs. It would be inappropriate to ask them to clear the snow in this town."
"Look for people from the nearby village." Mu Baobao came to Doctor Deng's side without knowing when.
After hearing what was said next, she offered her own opinion, "For example, in Xingzi Village, there are many people without jobs. They would definitely be willing to come to town to clear the snow."
"But it requires silver."
My grandma once said that no one would be willing to do something that has no money and no benefits.
The county magistrate slapped his thigh and smiled, "That's a good idea, little sister!"
"There aren't enough people in town, and we can't use the disaster victims outside the town, but there are people in the village."
He knew that every winter many villagers would come to the town to find work.
The villagers don't mind the dirty and tiring work. As long as they are paid, they will work hard.
Doctor Deng patted Mu Baobao's head and said to the county magistrate with a smile, "Baobao, this is a good idea."
"It costs less to ask the villagers to clear the snow, and it can be cleared quickly."
Baby Mu raised his little paw and said sincerely, "Sir County Magistrate, could you please invite the people from Xingzi Village first?"
“Most people in our village are very capable.”
The county magistrate readily agreed, "I'll invite the people from Xingzi Village first."
"Doctor Deng, I'm going to take care of this matter first. I'll come back when I have news."
Doctor Deng waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
"If I have any news, I will tell you as soon as possible."
The county magistrate left with gratitude.
"Has the baby finished eating the candy man?" asked Doctor Deng.
Baby Mu stretched out his paw, "No."
"Master, look, the hands that my sister washed for me smell so good."
Doctor Deng understood, "That's what happens when you wash your hands with soap."
"If you like fragrant soap, we can buy the ingredients and make it ourselves. It's not difficult."
Mu Baobao was immediately excited. "Master, how about we make some more fragrant soap?"
"I heard that scented soap is only used by wealthy families."
Doctor Deng laughed. "You can't say that."
"It's just that scented soap is expensive for ordinary people, and ordinary people can't afford to buy it. Do you understand?"
Mu Baobao said she understood and she wanted to earn more money so that she could have lots of fragrant soap at home.
"Baby, the master has to go out and do something. Please stay in the room, okay?" said Doctor Deng.
Baby Mu patted his chest to indicate that he could. "Master, don't worry. I will stay in the house and won't go anywhere."
Doctor Deng warned worriedly, "If anyone comes looking for you, or if anyone is rude to you, don't worry, just deal with them."
"If you don't want to come forward, let the maid handle it, understand?"
Mu Baobao agreed.
Doctor Deng gave some instructions to the maids before leaving the room.
Mubaobao is used to being alone.
With the help of her maid, she sat in the chair and picked up the Three Character Classic again.
Although she doesn't recognize many words, she might be able to recognize them if she looks at them more often.
……
A team escorting disaster relief supplies was moving forward as quickly as possible, braving the biting cold wind and the icy ground.
"We need to move faster so that we can get the relief supplies to the victims as soon as possible."
"It's a good thing the snow has stopped, otherwise it would be even harder for us to travel in the heavy snow."
"When we get to the next town, I'll have to buy two more bottles of wine so I can drink some on the way to keep warm."
At this moment, a large group of masked men rushed out from all directions.
They rushed into the relief supply team with swords in hand and fierce eyes.
Kill everyone on sight.
Not a single word.
"Hurry! Fight!" the team leader shouted in a panic, "We must protect the relief supplies. The victims are waiting for these supplies to save their lives!"
The sound of fighting was accompanied by screams and cries for help.
"Help! I can't hold on any longer! These people are well prepared."
"Run! Someone has to spread the word. We can't all die here!"
About a quarter of an hour later.
Except for two or three relief workers who escaped, the rest were all killed.
The cold ground was covered with corpses and blood.
"Take away all the disaster relief supplies," the masked leader said proudly, "let's go back and have a good drink!"
Everyone present cheered.
"I'm going to have a good meal this time and make a lot of money."
"Hahaha, I didn't expect this to be so easy. I thought it would take some effort."
"We are well prepared. These people are very tired and are no match for us."
……
When the news of the disaster relief supplies being looted reached Emperor Sheng's ears.
This made the emperor very angry.
"Okay, okay!"
His face was gloomy, and anger was rising. "How dare someone be so audacious as to rob disaster relief supplies? This shows that they don't take me seriously."
The chief eunuch, Zhong Ling, quickly advised, "Your Majesty, please be careful of the dragon's body."
Emperor Sheng slapped the armrest of his chair vigorously, "How can I not be angry with you!"
"Those people were so audacious that they robbed the disaster relief supplies. This clearly shows that they don't take me seriously."
Zhong Ling said, "Your Majesty, the most important thing now is to get to the bottom of this matter."
"Those bandits dared to do this because, firstly, they took advantage of the cold weather that made it difficult for the army to advance, and secondly, they had powerful backers behind them."
"Without a powerful backer, these people would never dare to touch the disaster relief supplies."
