Chapter 449 Unexpected arrival

On the other side, the government is also making intensive preparations to distribute relief food to those mulberry farmers.

Those mulberry farmers have been looking forward to this for a long time. As early as a few days ago, when the government officially announced the time and location of the relief food distribution, mulberry farmers came to the designated place in advance to wait.

For those mulberry farmers, as long as they can give themselves and their families a full meal, what is the grievance they suffer?

It is precisely because there are so many people who have this kind of thinking that many Sangnong fought for a relatively high position. During this period, the government had to send people to maintain order.

At this moment, although it is not yet time for the government to officially distribute relief food, those mulberry farmers have already spontaneously formed a long queue.

If you look down from mid-air, the crowd in line is like a winding snake with no end in sight.

The crowd was unusually noisy as usual. Even though the officials who were in charge of maintaining order had repeatedly reminded them, it was of no avail. Everyone was looking forward to receiving a full amount of relief food from the government. In this way, they could last for a while longer.

At least during this period of time, there is no risk of starvation for myself and my family.

And Wang Erzhuang, a villager in Wangjia Village, also, as usual, lined up obediently, waiting to receive the relief food from the government.

Earlier, after Wang Erzhuang got the exact news, he rushed to the place where the government distributed relief food without stopping, and was extremely lucky to occupy a front position, but the price for this was that he had already slept here for three days!
During these three days, Wang Erzhuang didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and had to be on guard against someone taking his position every day.

Therefore, he joined forces with those villagers who also planted mulberry seedlings in Wangjia Village. Whenever someone needed to leave temporarily, the rest of them took advantage of the situation to take up the position and prevent it from being taken away by others.

At this moment, just as Wang Erzhuang was in a daze, there was a sudden commotion from the crowd in front of him. Seeing this, Wang Erzhuang immediately became energetic, and he couldn't help guessing: "Could it be that it's time for the official distribution of relief food?"

Perhaps to support his conjecture, the voice of an official came from not far away.

"Listen up, line up and come one by one. If anyone dares to jump in line, he won't be able to get food!"

"Listen up, line up..."

With the repeated reminders from the officials, the crowd became more and more agitated. Many people stretched their necks, wanting to see how many people would be able to take their turn. For this reason, many disputes arose.

"The one in front, lower your head a little, I can't even see it!"

"You can't see what it's about me, you can find a way to go!"

"Your mouth is quite sharp, don't you owe it?"

"Come on, why don't you try using Grandpa?"

A plot similar to the one mentioned above is constantly being staged in the team, but in the final analysis, most of the people are just playing lip service. After all, no one wants to disqualify themselves from receiving relief food just because of a momentary advantage.

Moreover, the officials in charge of maintaining order would step forward to stop them as soon as they saw such signs, so the crowd quickly calmed down again.

At this moment, Wang Erzhuang looked at the team that was gradually moving forward, with even more anticipation on his face, because after a few more people, it would be his turn.

The few people in front of the line had unconcealable smiles on their faces after receiving the relief food from the government.

Soon, it was Wang Erzhuang's turn. The subordinates sitting by the table glanced at Wang Erzhuang indifferently, and then asked, "Name, place of origin?"

Wang Erzhuang was already familiar with this, and immediately said without thinking.

"Wang Erzhuang, from Wang Family Village."

After the words were finished, a subordinate official took out the corresponding roster. After searching for a long time, he finally found Wang Erzhuang's name. According to the usual practice, after drawing a circle on his name, he immediately gave instructions.

"Well, go over there to get food!"

When Wang Erzhuang heard this, his face was full of excitement, and he couldn't stop talking.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir!"

After that, Wang Erzhuang came to the side and took the bag containing grain from the soldier's hand. After roughly weighing the weight of the bag in his hand, Wang Erzhuang had an unconcealable smile on his face.

Because this time, the relief food distributed by the government was about six liters!

"Now within half a month, I don't have to worry about starvation anymore!"

As Wang Erzhuang said so, he looked around secretly, and after making sure that no one was paying attention to him, he picked up the food and left in a hurry.

Since there were too many people who came to receive the relief food this time, in order to improve efficiency, the government adopted a strategy of round-the-clock, round-the-clock distribution of relief food.

In this way, after two days, the government finally distributed this batch of relief food to the hands of those mulberry farmers.

In the chief envoy's department, at this moment, the officials in charge of distributing relief food are reporting the current situation to Zheng Michang in quite detail.

"Report to the Chief Minister, this batch of relief food has been distributed smoothly!"

After listening to his subordinate's report, Zheng Michang couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately spoke with emotion.

"Phew~ This matter has finally come to an end for the time being. These recent incidents have caused me a lot of trouble!"

After that, Zheng Michang looked away, and then gave instructions to the official.

"It's not too late, you send this news to the governor's mansion immediately, and I want to let the governor know about it!"

"Yes, Your Excellency the Chief Executive!"

After listening to Zheng Michang's order, the official immediately responded in a deep voice without the slightest hesitation.

……

In the study room of the Governor's Mansion, Hu Zongxian immediately felt relieved after learning the news that the relief food had been distributed from the subordinates sent by Zheng Michang.

"Okay, okay!"

In recent days, Hu Zongxian's spirit can be said to be highly tense. The safety of nearly half of the people who grow mulberry seedlings in Zhejiang is tied to him alone. He dare not relax, and he cannot relax!
Just when Hu Zongxian was going to rest for a while, there was a knock on the door.

Seeing this situation, Hu Zongxian frowned imperceptibly, and immediately gave orders.

"come in!"

After the words fell, a guard came in. The moment he entered the study of the Governor's Mansion, he knelt down on one knee and respectfully reported to Hu Zongxian.

"Reporting to the governor, the governor is out to see you, and he said that he has something important to discuss!"

Hearing this, Hu Zongxian couldn't help showing a look of surprise on his face, he turned his gaze away from the bodyguard, and said to himself silently.

"What is Liu Mi doing here at this time? Is it possible that he came here for that matter?"

After that, Hu Zongxian came back to his senses and gave instructions to the guard.

"Well, I know, let him wait in the meeting hall first, and I will go there later!"

"Yes, Lord Governor!"

After receiving Hu Zongxian's specific instructions, the guard turned and left the room without stopping.

After the guard left, Hu Zongxian roughly adjusted his appearance, got up from his seat, and walked towards the meeting hall of the Governor's Mansion.
