After six hours, the second distribution of relief materials began. This time, each person received twenty kilograms of rice and some dried fish on a per capita basis.
After two rounds of relief, the family of five received 150 kilograms of rice, which can be processed into 90 kilograms of brown rice. This is enough to feed the family for more than a month. At least they will have enough to eat this New Year.
.
In addition, Li Hui also distributed an additional two ounces of vegetable oil and three ounces of white wine to each household. Li Hui told the people that to celebrate the New Year, there must be some oil and water in the dishes and wine on the table.
A Chinese New Year look.
The people cheered loudly and kowtowed their heads to express their gratitude. If it was the first time for relief, many people were still doubtful. But this time, most people have realized that Magistrate Li really wants the people to survive.
The food piled up in the hill was all distributed like this, and the carts of dried fish, sesame oil, and wine were also distributed without hesitation. He didn't hesitate at all. What's there to be suspicious of?
During this relief effort, a total of more than 600 shi of food was distributed. According to the registration list, the current total population in Juchao County, including the refugee population, has exceeded 3,000.
Juchao County is a small town. Five years ago, the population in the county was only more than 6,000. This shows that the population of Juchao County has recovered rapidly. As long as people come back, the small town will quickly become bustling, and everything will
Everything will get better.
There are still two days until the New Year, and the relief work in the city has come to an end. However, Li Hui has asked Zhou Che to start taking people to the county towns and villages tomorrow to inform the people that relief work will continue in the county on the 32nd day of the twelfth lunar month.
.People in the countryside outside the city cannot let them spend the New Year hungry.
…
In the blink of an eye, the New Year of Taihe's fifth year has arrived.
In the past twenty days, Juchao County has undergone earth-shaking changes. This change is naturally not a change in the city walls and buildings, but a change in the situation and people's hearts.
After the two forces, Feng Heizi Gang and Wang Guangzu, were quickly wiped out, Juchao County quickly became prosperous. The city's population returned to more than 4,000 people, making the streets of this small town very lively.
Among them, in addition to the return of the people in the county who had fled the disaster, there were also many refugees from the south who had wandered away and came to seek refuge. Li Hui's attitude was that all comers would not be rejected and would be taken in. As long as they accepted the management of Juchao County
, did not come with any ulterior motives, Li Huidu took them in as well.
Two days before the New Year, Li Hui carried out dispersed resettlement of the refugees in the city. A group of vacant houses in the city were used as temporary residences, and local families in the city also accommodated individual refugees. In addition, a group of refugees were set up in the wasteland in the north of the city.
Simple buildings accommodate a group of people.
A total of nearly a thousand refugees were quickly resettled through various means, freeing these people from the hard life of being crowded in shacks.
The county and county-affiliated market towns and villages completed one or two rounds of relief operations last year. Although the seized grain materials cost a lot, nearly 1,800 shi of grain and other materials were used for this relief effort. However,
This effectively stabilized the situation and people's hearts, and gave the people of Juchao County peace of mind. More than one and a half months of basic food relief allowed the people to survive the difficult situation at hand.
Of course, the situation Li Hui faced was not optimistic. He had to solve the people's long-term livelihood problems so that they could be self-sufficient and even gradually become rich. This was the real solution to the problem.
But the situation in Juchao County is not optimistic. It faces many problems that are difficult to solve. For example, frequent flooding problems. For example, it is located between the Yangtze and Huaihe Rivers and the situation in the north of the Yangtze River is unstable. These are all problems that make Juchao County difficult to solve.
The reason for prosperity.
Li Hui has already begun to consider these issues, but this requires investigation and research and finding good methods. Some things cannot be solved by one's own efforts. How can some problems be solved to the maximum extent with limited resources?
, This is a huge challenge facing Li Hui.
However, Li Hui has never been a person who gets discouraged easily, nor is he a person who gives up in fear of difficulties. At least to the current position, Li Hui has made great progress. He was able to gain a foothold in Juchao County and solved the conflict between the two major forces.
Threatening and stabilizing local people and refugees. Just doing these is already a great achievement.
Before this, no one would believe that Li Hui could survive in Juchao County and gain a firm foothold. Everyone who knew that Li Hui took office in Juchao County would not have expected such a thing.
result.
On the eve of the New Year's Eve, the atmosphere throughout Juchao County is very lively. People light bonfires in the courtyards of their homes and throw dry bamboo tubes into the fire to burn. This is the custom of the New Year in the Jin Dynasty, with the sound of crackling bamboo tubes and the light of fire.
It can drive away demons and ghosts and bad luck. This is also the origin of the so-called "firecrackers" in later generations.
People gathered around their homes to have a hot meal and drink a few glasses of blended wine. The food was average and the wine tasted average, but the hearts of the people in the city were at peace. They no longer had to fear the threats from Feng Heizi and his gang.
, the family was finally reunited.
Ordinary people don't ask for much, that's all.
There were also two banquet tables at the county government office, but the food was much richer. In the afternoon, fishermen from the county braved the severe cold to go fishing in the lake for the past two days, and got a lot of fish and shrimp. They sent over a dozen Jiaohu
Large white strips, several kilograms of delicious long-legged shrimps, and the most famous delicious small fish in Jiao Lake called whitebait.
A-Zhu is a good cook. In addition to steaming big soft steamed buns and pancakes with white flour, she also made fish soup and popped prawns. However, she didn't quite understand how to cook whitebait because she had never cooked it before.
I have eaten this little fish that is completely transparent.
In the end, it was Li Hui who taught her how to make a whitebait steamed egg dish using whitebait and eggs. This was due to Li Hui's later experience. He had eaten this kind of whitebait and knew how to make it.
In addition, the folks in the city also sent a lot of vegetables. The people had their own methods of avoiding raids. Once the situation stabilized, the hidden chickens, ducks, bacon and meats would come out.
They also knew how to be grateful, so they secretly sent it to the county magistrate to express their gratitude. As a result, the county government's New Year's Eve dinner actually included chicken, duck, fish, wine, vegetables and white flour steamed buns.
It's not like others, but Zhao Dachun and Guo Dazhuang broke their cola. They were finally able to eat a decent meal, and during this time, their mouths started to fade away.
That night, Li Hui invited Zhou Che and everyone around him to have a New Year's Eve dinner. The atmosphere at the banquet was lively. Li Hui drank a lot of wine and talked a lot. He was very drunk before he left.
That night, the whole city was laughing and laughing, bonfires were shining, and firecrackers were going off. Many people laughed, many people were drunk, many people cried, many people missed their dead relatives and felt sad, and many people thought of their relatives far away.
Missing and melancholy.
On New Year's Eve in the fifth year of Taihe's reign in the Jin Dynasty, this small town between the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River was full of warmth and longing, joy and sadness. But in everyone's heart, there was a fire of hope and hope for the future life.
Gained confidence.
…
The arrival of the New Year in the fifth year of Taihe in the Jin Dynasty also means that the fourth year of Taihe will disappear forever in the long river of time.
A lot has happened in the past year. For a small person like Li Hui, it is already a great achievement and highlight moment to be able to establish a foothold in Juchao County, eradicate the lake bandits and refugee commander Wang Guangzu, and stabilize the people.
However, for the entire Jin Dynasty and even the general situation of the world, these things that happened in Juchao County are actually nothing. In other words, they are not worth mentioning for the Jin Dynasty court and the overall situation of the world.
In November, when Li Hui accepted the appointment with a dream and a big gamble, the Jin Dynasty was experiencing pain due to the failure of Huan Da Sima's Northern Expedition.
In October, when Huan Wen's Northern Expedition was defeated and he gathered his remaining troops and returned to Shanyang in defeat, the consequences of this defeat soon caused waves in the Jin court.
In the defeat of this battle, Huan Wen lost more than 40,000 troops and horses, and his vow before the expedition that he would capture Yecheng, the capital of the Xianbei people, became a joke.
After the defeat, Huan Wen became a laughing stock among the government and the public. Of course, no one dared to openly laugh at Huan Wen, because although he was defeated, his Huan family still controlled Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Jiangzhou, and before the expedition,
His chief minister, Xi Chao, who joined the army, handed over the two prefectures of Jingkou and Xuyan, which the Xi family had run for many years.
After the Jin Dynasty moved southward, there were fifteen prefectures including Qiaozhou. However, the only truly powerful Jiangzuo town was the four prefectures of Jingyang, Jiangxu. Among them, the two prefectures of Jingyang and Jingyang were the places where money, food, soldiers, horses, population and finance gathered, which was the largest town in the whole country.
The core of the Jin Dynasty. The Huan family of Huan Da Sima is located in the two major Jiangzuo towns of Jing and Yang. Jiangzhou is the southwest gateway of Jiankang, and Jingkou and Xuyanzhou are the northeast gateway of Jiankang. They are all strategic places. They control them all.
In the hands of Huan Da Sima's family, it can be seen that Huan Wen's power was at its peak.
Although his defeat was embarrassing, embarrassing and ridiculous, he was not someone who could be laughed at openly. Although the aristocratic families and celebrities in Jiankang City laughed at him, they only dared to do so at private banquets and in private.
secretly laughed at in discussions. On a public level, no one with any sense would openly laugh at this failure.
On the contrary, everyone, including the powerful figures of the Langya Wang Clan, the Taiyuan Wang Clan, and the Chenjun Xie Clan, and other powerful families, were deeply worried about the consequences of the failure of the Northern Expedition.
