I remember reading a classic line before, saying that we Chinese have never had the spirit of cooking. The so-called cooking is actually because we hope that someone can make the decision for me.

Is this right or wrong? But at least a thousand years ago there was nothing wrong with it.

The people are accustomed to giving everything they have, so that those they can trust make decisions for themselves. Once they have someone who can make decisions for themselves, they will hold their thighs tightly like biological instincts.

Now, Qin Hao and Xu Jie are these two thighs, and it is not easy to get rid of them when they are hugged.

It was a severe drought in the world and the water level became very shallow. The boaters were particularly needed to sail in difficult times. These victims rushed in, so the job was naturally left to the victims. The government's disaster relief can at most ensure that people will not starve to death, but they still have to do things if they want to eat enough. Although it is a bit hard to be a boater, the food supply is enough, and each person has three kilograms of coarse grain and 18 cents to take home every day. Therefore, this job is a big deal.

Naturally, this job was contracted by Xu Jie and the strong men.

Qin Hao led the army of children and a large number of elderly, weak, sick and disabled people to build slums next to the dock, and opened a series of tea sheds and other tertiary industries to provide some services to the boatmen. In this way, the work was monopolized by the two of them, so that almost all the victims in Quanluo-Yang are following him.

The two of them planned to enter Luoyang City and became low-key, but the result was contrary to their wishes and their prestige became higher and higher, which made Qin Hao feel a little broken. Anyway, he knew that his name had entered Chang'an 100%, so his life would be left to fate.

……………………

On the dock, the sound of trumpets sounded, which was the elegy of the boatmen's joy in their bitterness. The rough hemp ropes were tied to their shoulders with bloody mouths, and sweat beads kept flowing into the wound under the scorching sun. Under this heavy physical labor that was almost exhausted, sprinkled with salt on the wound.

Xu Jie, sweating profusely twisted a towel and put it on his shoulders. He walked to a herbal tea shed and sat down. Then the sensible little girl brought a bowl of herbal tea to clear heat and remove fire, and Xu Jie tilted his neck and poured it in.

"Where is your elder brother?"

"The eldest brother went to the city to find the county magistrate. He heard that he wanted to contract the repair of the southern city wall."

"Wow? I'm very worried."

"There's no way. My brother said that this person is free and not full, he will easily cause trouble. Although the boatman lacks people, he only has the best young man in his health. Men with a little less strong can't wait to beg for food empty-handedly. Find something to do and earn enough food for the family."

Xu Jie nodded and said, "Yes, not everyone is as blessed as you. If you have such a good brother, how are the troupe planning? Brothers are clamoring to listen to storytelling."

The girl smiled and said, "It's so fast. The county magistrate has approved a piece of land for the boss. All the building materials were borrowed as his old man. This county magistrate is such a good person."

Xu Jie smiled and said nothing. He was not stupid. This matter had nothing to do with the character of the county magistrate. As the leader of all the victims, Qin Hao had to be careful to worship him no matter what. With them, they didn't know how much worry the county magistrate saved. Certifying two pieces of land was a matter of repaying the favor.

On the other side, Qin Hao’s place.

If Xu Jie saw Qin Hao's appearance at this time, he would probably feel sad again. In order to establish a good image of a leader, he took the lead in pulling his body, making it painful and unharmed. However, Qin Hao was wearing a clean plain robe, holding a folding fan in his hand, kneeling in a large house with sandalwood lingering in the windows and clear windows, drinking good sake, and there was a caring and sensible maid next to him. Who would believe this image is said to be a special lady who is here to escape from the famine!

There is no way, who told us to be the business representative? This is coming to chat with the county magistrate. You can't just come over like a beggar.

The county magistrate was busy, and there was no phone call and couldn't make an appointment at this time, so Qin Hao came this time just in time for someone to have a meeting. He was a little bully and could not pick someone else's officials, so he could only drink a little wine in the living room of the county government. Suddenly, he felt that the two little girls were good, and one of them couldn't help but talk.

"What's your name?"

"Return to the young master, my servant is called Que'er"

"Oh, what about you?"

"Go back to the young master, my servant is Du Juan."

"Oh, Lord Du likes birds very much."

"Yes, Lord Du likes birds very much."

"Then have you seen Lord Du's bird?"

“…………”

Luoyang County is Jing County and the former capital of the Sui Dynasty. Therefore, the living room of this county government is magnificent, with many famous characters and paintings. Qin Hao even saw an authentic work that was suspected to be Wang Xizhi. Unfortunately, he didn't understand, so he could only watch the fun. He drank a little wine and occasionally teased the maid next to him, but he didn't feel bored.

The county magistrate is also considered an old man from the former Sui Dynasty. He has been a local official for more than ten years and has been gathering so many refugees for the first time, but it is much easier than before. Moreover, there has been almost no trouble so far. It is all the contribution of the little baby in front of him. Basically, as long as he deals with Qin Hao alone, he doesn't have to care about the disaster victims. Therefore, he is particularly polite to Qin Hao, calling him a virtuous nephew, without any airs at all.

Although he is an official and Qin Hao is a civilian, the two of them really can't say who is asking for whom. The 100,000 disaster victims have caused some trouble and he will be dismissed as the official. If Qin Hao dares to make a bigger deal, he will probably die in front of Qin Hao.

For this reason, Lord Du, who has always been honest and never greedy, could not help but use his power to seek personal gain. He waved his hand and approved hundreds of acres of land on the dock for free and gave it to Qin Hao for free. He also used construction materials in the name of the county government, which was almost for free to send it to Qin Hao's ready-made opera troupe.

Therefore, Qin Hao is quite sensible, so wait a while.

It took a long time before the county magistrate arrived. Before the person arrived, he seemed particularly enthusiastic. He heard his hoarse voice from a distance: "Oh, the official business is busy, but it is really busy. I have been waiting for a long time. Don't blame me if you don't blame me."

According to the routine, Qin Hao naturally said that he would dare to do so at this time. Two people, one big and one small, were polite, and the county magistrate knelt down and sat down calmly to fill the wine.

Qin Hao has been dealing with him for a day or two, and they are very familiar with each other. After a few simple polite words, they will talk about the serious business.

"I wonder what happened to my nephew in our county government in a busy schedule? But is there any material missing from the opera troupe?"

"Mr. Du is joking. How dare you disturb such small things? That's right. The victims are only a small part of the scourge who have the strength to pull fibers at the wharf. These tens of thousands of people have no work. They all point to the court's food for disaster relief. It's a bit too idle. There's always someone who comes to me to plead with me. There's really no way. Isn't this here to ask Lord Du for help? As the saying goes, idleness is a mess. Find something for them to do, so Lord Du can manage it more easily."

Lord Du smiled bitterly and said, "Nephew, are you talking to your uncle? The officials in Luoyang City are now making a roundabout way. It's really not to be hiding from my uncle. I slept for less than two hours yesterday. This is still a human being. I have made more than a dozen notes for the court in terms of material resources. The granary and money warehouse are all working hard to provide disaster relief. How can I have spare time and spare money to do anything to build?"

Qin Hao smiled and said, "Don't worry, this uncle is not sure. Since my nephew takes on this job with you, it is naturally the nephew who will take care of me. How dare I trouble you?"
