The wife of the female Zun Kuaichuan is a doting maniac

Chapter 1498 My Wife Is Actually Very Gentle
The beef in my mouth doesn’t seem to taste good anymore.

The common people were seriously injured and unable to get treatment, and they were starving, so how could they swallow such delicious food?

The royal ladies, who had always looked down on everyone, suddenly found that they were nothing in the face of disaster.

After carefully putting away the beef jerky, Su Jinlan looked at Zhiyu and asked, "Did the capital send any clothes or food?"

Zhiyu bowed and said, "The palace guards have first escorted a batch of cotton clothes and rice and flour. Since there are only 20 carts, they will arrive tomorrow. I'm afraid the food and clothes allocated by the Ministry of Revenue will have to wait a few more days. The master said that there are many procedures and large quantities, and he is also worried about any accidents on the road, so it's better to go slower."

Afraid that the two ladies would curse impulsively, Zhiyu simply explained everything in one breath.

The palace raised food supplies and sent more people over, and as long as the king gave his approval, the warehouse would be opened.

But it’s different in the Ministry of Households. No step of the process can be missed. That’s the rule.

"Although the Eighth Princess's private treasury is not small, it cannot withstand such a disturbance. We still need to record this account and ask the Ministry of Revenue to return it after returning to Beijing."

Su Jinlan and Su Jinxuan are the most protective of their sisters and cannot bear to see them suffer.

Even if it is for the sake of the people of the world, their sisters cannot be asked to pay out of their own pockets, unless the emperor appoints the eighth sister as the crown princess.

Otherwise, public is public and private is private, and there should be no chaos.

"The food in the master's hands was originally for emergency use. Now that it can help so many people, I believe the master will not ask for it back."

The current emperor holds a high status in the master's mind, and everything they do is done willingly by the master.

"She's just stupid!"

Su Jinlan couldn't help but mutter, but he knew that now was not the time to say that. However, surprisingly, more than 20 trucks of food and clothing were delivered to the disaster area the next morning.

Even Su Qiruo was confused.

"Didn't the prince say that we only had time to raise twenty cars?"

Zhishu and Zhiyan protected Su Qiruo on both sides, watching the endless stream of carriages coming in, and secretly glancing at their master from time to time.

Could it be that the master saw it wrong yesterday?

Su Qiruo believed that she read Si Qianling's letter very carefully and word by word, so she would not be wrong.

At this time, Zhiyu hurried over and handed the cloth in his hand to Su Qiruo, and said excitedly: "Master, the things behind are all the property donated by the noble families in the capital. Each carriage is marked with the mansion and quantity. I see that they are all written by the king."

Su Qiruo glanced at the strip of cloth in her hand and saw that it read: "The House of Mr. Qi, a member of the Cabinet, donated 103 dan of grain, 231 cotton clothes, and 125 bolts of cotton cloth." (The measurement unit is uniformly based on one dan equaling one hundred jin.)
Looking at the recorded numbers, one can see how hastily the mansions in the capital prepared these things. They didn't even have time to round up the numbers.

Su Qiruo's eyes, which were usually calm, trembled. She tightened her grip on the cloth strip and gave instructions, "All clothing and food should be distributed quickly according to the number of people. Keep a record of the donations from each mansion and make detailed records. Then, they will be posted throughout the country."

How much comes in and how much goes out must all be recorded clearly.

Although it is said that too clear water will attract no fish, when faced with a disaster, most officials still keep the people in mind.

It was also this time that Su Qiruo gained another understanding of the officialdom.

Maybe some people are greedy for fame and fortune, maybe some people are greedy for beauty, but at critical moments, they still have the people in their hearts.
