Through the car curtain, Mu Qingyu pressed her fingers to her temples as the carriage swayed.

She knew about this because news came back from a teahouse set up by the Qianmo Gang in Qingzhou that the amount of money allocated by the imperial court for disaster relief in the three southern counties of Qingzhou was only 50,000 taels per year.

If the 50,000 taels were really used for the victims of the disaster in the three counties, some practical things could be done. However, the officials had their hands full and the 50,000 taels were withheld by officials at all levels. I am afraid that less than 5,000 taels would be used for disaster relief.

And as Ye Jingcheng said, the disaster was not so serious that there was no harvest. Even though the people were young and old, they could only eat bark and grass roots to satisfy their hunger, but at least they could still survive.

What's more, seven years ago, even these 50,000 taels were no longer provided for relief because the emperor criticized local officials for their ineffectiveness.

Officials do not have the financial resources to provide disaster relief, and they need money, so naturally they can only get it from the people. They impose excessive taxes and create clever excuses, which makes it even worse for the people who are already suffering from natural disasters.

This year's disaster was more severe than in previous years, but the officials of the three counties of Qingzhou were afraid of the emperor's rebuke and did not report the disaster. As a result, the people could not survive, and many people left their homes and came to Linzhou to seek a way to survive.

Ye Jingcheng said: "Our Jining Hall has taken in many victims! Although we cannot take in all the victims who poured into Linzhou from Qingzhou, we can save one by one!"

Mu Qingyu said: "Jining Hall in Linzhou North City did not apply for additional silver coins from the chief helmsman!"

Ye Jingxiang grinned, looking more honest, and said: "Although there are many orphans, weak children, and widows among the victims we took in, there are also many mature men. Therefore, I took those people to work and do business.

...Now that a fixed pattern has been formed, Jining Hall in Beicheng is completely self-sufficient, so there is no need for the headquarters to spend additional money!"

Wu Xiaoran then showed joy: "Seriously?"

Mu Qingyu: "..."

Mu Qingyu was not too surprised. All Jining Halls actually followed this pattern.

Mu Qingyu knew Xin Mengyan earlier than she knew Wu Xiaoran.

Wu Xiaoran disagreed with this sentence: "I have become friends all year round, what's wrong with being friends for two days?"

However, the Jining Hall in Linzhou North City has only been established for four or five months, so it is already very rare to achieve such an achievement.

Many pots of flowers in full bloom have been added to the yard, and the fragrance that fills the yard makes this side yard a little more elegant and a little less solemn.

Wu Xiaoran, who was dressed in white and had a long body, was holding a flower in his hand and was speaking softly to the woman opposite him.

Mu Qingyu couldn't bear it and said: "Okay, okay, Yan'er comes to see you this time, and he won't leave right away. You will be on leave starting tomorrow. You have fun with Yan'er, and I will take care of the gang affairs!"

After briefly and concisely reporting on her three months of experience, Mu Qingyu was overall satisfied. However, not only did she have to listen to what Ye Jinghao said, but she also had to see whether the information presented by various places was consistent with what Ye Jinghao said.

The girl opposite was sixteen or seventeen years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, and a pretty appearance, but she seemed a little bored. When she raised her eyes, she happened to see Mu Qingyu walking into the courtyard. Her eyes suddenly lit up, she pushed Wu Xiaoran away and lifted up her skirt.

Jiao ran this way and said happily: "Qingyu, Wu Xiaoran also lied to me and said you just left here. He refused to take me to find you. He is so annoying!"

Mu Qingyu said: "Nothing, it's pretty good!"

Wu Xiaoran felt aggrieved: "Yan'er, you didn't even say you would make it for me to eat!"

The essence of Jiningtang is to do good deeds, but it is not all for the sake of doing good deeds! Idle people with labor force will not be raised in vain. They will be taught skills and some livelihood, so that they can rely on themselves instead of relying on Jiningtang to support them.

The carriage returned to Qianmo Gang.

Wu Xiaoran quickly defended: "Yan'er, I'm not trying to be stern because of doing more things. Look, we were just talking, and she came over like this, so can we still make it right?"

Mu Qingyu: "..."

Mu Qingyu smiled and said: "He didn't lie to you. I was called away just halfway through my work. Look at him looking like he wants to eat people!"

Wu Xiaoran looked at Mu Qingyu again with eyes full of resentment.

Giving blindly will not make people grateful, it will only breed white-eyed wolves.

Xin Mengyan snorted: "Isn't there something wrong with Qingyu leaving in the middle? Why do you have to keep a straight face? What's wrong if you do more?"

The girl's name is Xin Mengyan, and she is Wu Xiaoran's sweetheart.

Every time I come back, I see Wu Xiaoran who is so busy that his feet never touch the ground, but this time is an exception.

She curled her lips: "Praise sex over friends!"

Xin Mengyan laughed out loud, she had already approached Mu Qingyu affectionately, and said: "Qingyu, you don't know, I learned a new cuisine in a small village in the southern border of Nanqi this time. I will go shopping now, and I will go shopping later."

I’ll make it for you to eat!”

I bet she has become a big lightbulb and is disliked by others.

Xin Mengyan looked ashamed, stamped her feet and said: "Qingyu is not an outsider, what are you going to say that she will hinder you?"

Wu Xiaoran looked at Mu Qingyu with evil eyes, full of resentment.

Except for the orphans, the young, the widowed, and those without the ability to work, everyone else will have some kind of livelihood so that they can be self-sufficient. There will also be some industries under Jining Hall to maintain daily needs.

Giving blindly is not helping others. It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach them how to fish!

Therefore, even the newly built Jining Hall will be self-sufficient after one year, and the earliest one built can already contribute back to the headquarters.

The girl turned around, Wu Xiaoran immediately put away his resentment, showed a smile, and said: "Yan'er, do you believe me now?"

Xin Mengyan patted him gently on the forehead, like patting a big dog, and comforted her without any sincerity: "Qingyu is your gang leader, are you just the deputy gang leader? I have prepared delicious food for Qingyu,

Once she is happy, she will use you more! I am doing this for your own good!"

Wu Xiaoran was shocked: "Yan'er, have you forgotten that I have only helped her for three years. She has already 'reused' me enough. If she reuses me again, then I won't do it!"

It's a pity that he wakes up earlier than a chicken and goes to bed later than a dog... Well, it's not that late, not that late anymore! But he has to deal with a lot of things every day. Mu Qingyu is the boss and has no fear of him usurping the throne.

, being trusted by others, what else can he do besides doing good things more carefully?

Mu Qingyu smiled and said: "Actually, if you don't return to the clan, you would be fine in the Qianmo Gang. If you feel that the deputy gang leader is not good enough for you, you can become the gang leader!"

Wu Xiaoran looked alert: "Are you trying to harm me? The deputy gang leader is so busy, being the gang leader? Then can I still have time to eat and sleep?"

"Of course, look at me! Am I not the gang leader?" Mu Qingyu smiled sincerely and with an inducement: "As long as the gang leader grasps the general direction and makes a plan, the deputy gang leader and the guardian hall leader will execute it.
