Read my heart, my whole family was forced to clean up

"Zhang Xu, make porridge."

"Yes, my lord."

Zhang Xu took the order and went to prepare the porridge. He looked back at his master.

The master has changed.

It has changed.

Zhang Xixi noticed Zhang Xu's eyes and immediately followed him.

"Dad, I'm with Uncle Zhang."

"Okay, stay safe."

Zhang Xixi followed Zhang Xu and watched him direct the cooking of porridge and comfort the refugees. He was very capable and under his leadership.

The refugees, who were originally restless, calmed down.

They sat on the ground, staring at the big pot of porridge, waiting for the order.

Zhang Xixi stood next to the big pot and could hear their stomachs rumbling with hunger. The feeling of emptiness seemed to devour their sanity, making them want to find food to fill it as soon as possible.

Food, they just want food now.

If there weren't so many guards, they would have rushed up to loot the place.

“Uncle Zhang, are we just making porridge?”

Zhang Xu sat aside, staring straight ahead.

"Well, let's make some porridge first so they don't die."

Zhang Xixi, "......"

[Hahahaha, this Zhang Xu and your dad... well, they're pretty good.]

What do you want to say?

[Nothing, I just felt helpless seeing so many refugees. In ancient times, people couldn't withstand any natural disasters. Look at those children, each one of them is so pitiful.]

Zhang Xixi saw it.

Not only the children, but all the refugees are pitiful.

The porridge was ready quickly.

Led by the Imperial Guards, all the refugees lined up and waited for the distribution of porridge.

These guards are mighty and majestic, wearing iron armor and holding spears that are as sharp as blades, enough to scare away any enemy.

They just stood there and no one dared to cause trouble.

No wonder Dad brought the Royal Guards with him.

With this kind of momentum, anyone who dares to step forward and cause trouble would probably want to die.

Zhang Xixi took a spoon and filled it up to the broken bowl in front of her. Before she could share the food, the spoon in her hand was taken away by Zhang Xu.

"Miss, let me do it."

"Uncle Zhang, I can do it."

Zhang Xu shook his head and asked Zhang Xixi to watch from the side first.

The next scene shocked Zhang Xixi so much that she was stunned on the spot.

She looked at Zhang Xu, who was like the cafeteria auntie. When he picked up the spoon, his hands began to tremble slightly. After one spoonful of porridge, only half a spoonful was left after the shaking.

His hands were shaking like a sieve.

[Uh...Uncle Zhang really looks like the cafeteria auntie. ]

[This is good.]

[Yeah, it’s pretty good.]

After watching for a while, Zhang Xixi understood Zhang Xu's intention.

There are too many refugees here, and each of them has been given a lot, so it is impossible to divide it all. The only way is to follow Zhang Xu's method and give each person a little.

"Uncle Zhang, I know how to do it. Let me do it."

Zhang Xu put down the spoon and looked at Zhang Xixi with appreciation.

"Miss is smart."

After teaching Zhang Xixi well, Zhang Xu went on to teach other people.

This kind of hand shaking made many refugees dissatisfied. At the beginning, a few men shouted that this amount of porridge was not enough to fill them up, and that they had gone too far and must have embezzled the court's money.

What he said was very unpleasant.

Prime Minister Zhang was so angry that he arrested the refugees who were causing trouble and gave them a good lecture.

If he is really greedy, he will just say it.

But he didn't. This kind of slander is intolerable.

I was already feeling angry, and now it just came to my doorstep.

Under Prime Minister Zhang's education, no one made trouble anymore. They just wanted to live, but didn't want to make trouble. They all knew that he was a high-ranking official, the Prime Minister.

Untouchable.

After a busy morning, all the refugees got some porridge. Although it wasn’t much, it gave them some relief.

Zhang Xixi didn’t know much about the disaster, and Prime Minister Zhang didn’t tell her much.

Just let her help out here.

Every day, she goes out early and comes back late, following Zhang Xu, and Prime Minister Zhang appears beside Zhang Xixi from time to time.

Have a chat with her.

Then he went back to work. Here, Zhang Xixi also met Ma Ke.

He had always been following Prime Minister Zhang and helping him with his work. He was a man of real ability, and in just a few days, the refugees were almost all settled.

It won't be long before the problem is completely solved.

Zhang Xixi sat in the shed, looking at the refugees who were in much better condition, and chatting with Zhang Xu.

"Uncle Zhang, the refugees have been settled very well."

Zhang Xu leaned back in his chair, feeling sore in his back.

He looked at his master not far away with a sad face. His master had changed, and he had changed too.

With such a good opportunity, he did not engage in corruption but worked seriously. He took it seriously, never did anything careless or perfunctory, and did everything by himself.

Yes.

He has a good reputation and everyone who sees him will call him a great lord.

But what’s the use of this? Can this kind of false reputation be eaten? Can it be turned into money?

No, it cannot.

I vaguely remember what the master said before, that reputation is not as important as power and money.

The master...forgot the beginning.

"Uncle Zhang? What's wrong with you?"

Feeling that Zhang Xu was in a very low mood, Zhang Xixi quickly tried to comfort him.

"Uncle Zhang, the refugees have been settled. They will only get better and better in the future. Don't worry."

Zhang Xu looked at Zhang Xixi sadly.

Worry?

What was he worried about? He was not worried at all. He was just angry and felt powerless towards his master's incompetence.

"Ah, young lady, the master has changed."

Zhang Xixi looked at her father who was helping an elderly man see the doctor not far away. His figure looked increasingly thin under the scorching sun, and his clothes were soaked with sweat, every drop of which reflected his hard work and dedication.

Dad has been working so hard during this period.

"Yeah, Dad has lost weight. He's been working hard during this period."

Zhang Xu, "......"

"Uncle Zhang, what arrangements will be made for these refugees?"

Zhang Xu adjusted his mood and turned his head away, not wanting to look at the adult who did everything by himself. Looking at him would only make things more frustrating, so out of sight, out of mind.

"When they are better, the court will give them some money and they will return to their hometowns. If they don't want to go back, they can stay in the capital. It depends on whether they have the ability to gain a foothold in the capital."

The capital is a place where not everyone can survive.

"Give them money, can they keep their money?"

Zhang Xu shrugged and said helplessly, "It depends on their ability. Those who can make it to the capital must have some ability. If they can't even protect their own money, then they should not live."

These words were very cruel, but Zhang Xixi did not refute them.

In this era, if a natural disaster occurs, the imperial court will not sit idly by, but they can only relieve the current predicament. The future path still depends on oneself.

I hope they can all return to their hometowns and rebuild their new homes.
