Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

Xie Shiyuan acted very efficiently and immediately ordered his servants to quickly set up the porridge tent at the door.

The porridge stall here is still under construction and has not been completed yet, but the line of people waiting to get porridge has already formed like a long dragon, and there are many young and strong people among them.

Tao Jiuxi stood inside the door, looking through the crack at the bustling crowd, and frowned slightly.

"Uncle, the porridge doesn't need to be too thick, as long as it can fill everyone up." Tao Jiuxi said.

"Why is this?" Xie Shiyuan asked in confusion.

"Ayi once told me that the north of the city was the hardest hit, and there is a serious shortage of rescue workers. Uncle, you see, there are many strong people in this team. If they are willing to work hard and go to the north of the city for rescue together with the officers and soldiers and the army, then the problem of shortage of manpower can be solved. Besides, the food in the army is always better than this bowl of porridge." Tao Jiuxi explained patiently.

"Well, that's true. I rely solely on the servants in the mansion to build this porridge tent, which is really slow, and someone is needed to maintain order. I will go to the front and talk to them. If they are willing to help with the work in the porridge tent, I will pay them some wages separately and let them eat with the servants." Xie Shiyuan thought for a moment and immediately thought of a solution.

"Don't set the wages too high, otherwise it will easily cause confusion. Just show some appreciation. Also, control the diet in the mansion during this period to avoid some people becoming hostile." Tao Jiuxi reminded again.

In this way, those who work can eat thick porridge with side dishes, while those who just wait for relief can only drink thin porridge to keep warm.

In this way, to a certain extent, we can also screen out available people and contribute to disaster relief.

As Xie Shiyuan stepped out, everyone's gaze instantly focused on him, their eyes filled with gratitude. Immediately afterwards, many people were so excited that they even knelt down to express their gratitude. Their gestures were extremely sincere, their foreheads pounding the ground, and they kept muttering words of gratitude.

As soon as Xie Shiyuan finished explaining the lack of temporary workers and promised a small amount of wages in return, someone in the team immediately responded positively.

Even those who were a little older but looked healthy, Xie Shiyuan selected a few to stay.

After returning, Xie Shiyuan's face was filled with joy.

He was kindhearted, and since he was the first to set up the porridge stall, everyone was naturally grateful to him. This sincere gratitude from everyone greatly satisfied his vanity to a certain extent, and filled him with pride.

Seeing this, Tao Jiuxi naturally did not hesitate to praise him: "Uncle is indeed a man who can accomplish great things. In just a short time, he not only calmed people's hearts, but also attracted many useful talents. Jiuxi really admires him."

"Thank you for the compliment. I should do my best to help everyone." Xie Shiyuan couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"Uncle, now that we have opened a porridge stall today, there will surely be other kind-hearted people like you who will donate generously tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Uncle, you are also a well-known figure in Jiangning Prefecture. It would be better to have everyone cook porridge of similar quality. This way, the victims will not all gather in one place." Tao Jiuxi praised tirelessly while cleverly expressing his thoughts in a sincere and organized manner.

A man like Xie Shiyuan, who is already in his forties, would inevitably feel uncomfortable if he was always told to do things by a young girl.

But Tao Jiuxi is very resourceful. She always speaks in a way that sounds nice, and people can't help but agree with her.

"That's right. I'll go to any porridge stall that opens and then arrange for someone to mobilize able-bodied people to go to the north of the city to participate in post-disaster reconstruction."

In the past, when Xie Shiyuan provided relief, he would send people directly to set up the porridge tent and never show up himself.

But this time, because it was Shen Zhiyi's idea, Xie Shiyuan chose to supervise it personally. This participation gave him a sense of accomplishment, and he was now full of energy. If he could walk around every porridge stall, it would be more representative.

"Uncle, you've worked hard. If there's anything you need from Jiuxi, just let me know."

"You are a girl, just rest at home." After Xie Shiyuan said this, he walked towards the porridge stall again.

Tao Jiuxi looked around, felt a little more at ease, and then turned around and walked back.

It must be said that Xie Shiyuan's porridge shed was built at the perfect time. Having just experienced the disaster, people had not yet fallen into a frenzy of extreme hunger, so they could still maintain basic rationality. As long as they could get food in time, no one wanted to cause trouble.

Because of this, Xie Shiyuan's porridge stall opened quite smoothly and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Immediately afterwards, many porridge tents were set up in Jiangning Prefecture.

I think local officials mobilized local wealthy families and selected a large number of people with labor force among the victims to be used in post-disaster reconstruction work.

Animal carcasses were promptly cleared from the streets, and the affected areas were fumigated and disinfected by burning herbs such as mugwort and atractylodes.

The flood gradually receded. Because Jiangning Prefecture had comprehensive response measures for the sudden flood, there was neither unrest nor an outbreak of plague.

Although the natural disaster destroyed many houses and crops, the disaster and difficulties caused by the floods have been minimized as much as possible.

During these days, Xie Shiyuan traveled tirelessly between various soup kitchens and local wealthy merchants, raising vast sums of money for post-disaster reconstruction. His fame quickly soared, and everyone who saw him couldn't help but exclaim, "Thank you, great philanthropist!" His acts of kindness spread like wildfire throughout Jiangning Prefecture, inspiring even more people to participate in the disaster relief effort.

Tao Jiuxi also tried his best to help Xie Shiyuan solve the various problems he encountered.

Finally, Xie Shiyuan said with emotion: "Jiuxi, if I could have children like you by my side, I would definitely be very happy."

Tao Jiuxi has been praising his uncle to the point of being dizzy these days, and Xie Shiyuan himself also feels that his behavior this time is very great.

Of course, it is a great thing in itself that he can donate generously and help people in times of crisis, even if there is some selfish motive in it.

Five days later, the necessary supplies for disaster relief were delivered from upstream. It seemed that God could not bear to see the people suffer. The weather in Jiangning Prefecture finally improved in the past few days. The sun began to gradually dispel the haze, bringing a touch of warmth and hope to this disaster-stricken land.
