After the divorce, I became a mountain god
Chapter 285 Disaster Relief
Shanyang City.
The gongs and drums are noisy, the lights are bright, and it is so lively.
The comprehensive reconstruction work of the City God Temple has been completed.
Today's City God's Temple no longer has the constraints of a roof, but is more like a square, much like the huge and domineering mountain statue at the spectacular sub-base that Xu Bo'an had seen before in the valley.
The square in front of the statue of the City God also occupies a large area.
At this time, in addition to the county government officials who were offering incense, there were many people crowding in the square to watch. Everyone held a torch in their hands, which illuminated the dark night sky.
On this day of the completion ceremony, Lord Zun Wang of Qipin County, Shanyang County specially brought the leadership team of the county government here to attend the completion ceremony.
Xu Bo'an had just arrived, and he didn't know what was going on. He just felt that there were quite a few acquaintances looking around.
Wang Chao held three sticks of incense in front of him and lit the incense respectfully.
Ma Han and Lao Jiao stood not far away, both wearing the same clothes.
However, Xu Boan searched carefully and found Li Qingshi, and he didn't know where the boy had gone.
Moreover, Xu Boan was also very surprised as to what these people were going to do when they gathered here at night.
Xu Bo'an was just thinking about what he was doing when he heard that the Shanyang County Zun Dynasty, who was standing at the front and closest to the statue of the City God, had spoken.
"Your Excellency, Grandpa Mountain God, I, the dynasty of Shanyang County, have led the people of the county to come here with piety, stop here with admiration, and wish to pray for the blessings of Grandpa Mountain God.
The mountain god grandfather has great power over the mountains and rivers, and his virtues are widespread. We look up to his majestic face and fear his divine majesty. We would like to take advantage of this good and auspicious day to sincerely pray for the protection of the mountain god Grandpa with our humble sincerity.
What we seek is not a house filled with gold and jade, nor overwhelming power. I only hope that my country will be peaceful and the people will be healthy. May the weather be smooth and the crops may be plentiful; may diseases be far away and may life be prosperous. This is our sincere wish, and we sincerely hope that the mountain god will show mercy and bless you.
We all know that the way to pray for blessings is to be in awe and do good deeds to accumulate virtue. Therefore, we should uphold this intention, respect the mountain god Grandpa as we are commanded, and never tire of doing good deeds. May the Mountain God recognize our sincerity, grant us blessings, and protect our health.
With these words, I pray to Grandpa Mountain God. May Grandpa Mountain God bless you and may your blessings last forever. We can't thank you enough, and I would like to thank you. "
While speaking, Wang Chao put the three sticks of incense in the incense burner on the incense table with a pious expression.
As soon as this jerky language came out, Xu Boan had a hard time understanding it.
It's not that Xu Bo'an's education level is too low, it's actually that the man in science and engineering was a little slow to react when he heard such classical Chinese-style sentences.
Although I only heard a general idea, after listening to the whole story, Xu Boan still felt that it was very noble.
The whole text probably describes their awe, gratitude, and admiration for themselves.
Then when describing what he was praying for, he loftily explained that he was not coveting gold, silver, wealth or power and status, but was concerned about the peace of his family and country and the well-being of his people.
With this kind of stylistic choice and writing level, it is completely a good official classical Chinese article.
If I had this level, when I took the high school and college entrance examination, composition, which accounted for the most points in the Chinese language test, would definitely get a high score even if I couldn't get a full score.
A few years before Xu Bo'an took the college entrance examination, he wrote a very influential essay with full marks in classical Chinese style, "The Death of Red Rabbit", which caused a craze for classical Chinese essays at that time, and many people got high marks.
Xu Bo'an was in a good mood by this burst of retro-style compliments. Just as he was thinking about whether to say something to appease everyone, he heard Wang Chao, who was kneeling on the ground, speak again.
"Grandpa Mountain God, Shanyang City is experiencing natural and man-made disasters. The crops have failed in recent years, and Li Shu is worried.
Grain is the foundation of people's livelihood and the foundation of a country. Today, a natural disaster has caused the fields to become barren and the people to suffer from hunger and cold. We are heartbroken.
So he kowtows devoutly and prays to Grandpa the Mountain God. Grandpa Fuwangshan God noticed the plight of the people in Yangcheng, my mountain, and blessed me with blessings and good luck, ensuring that my city had a good harvest and easing the suffering of the people from hunger and cold.
We know very well that the blessings of Grandpa Mountain God are as heavy as mountains, so we should be grateful and do good deeds to repay Grandpa Mountain God’s kindness.
From then on, the people of Yangcheng in our mountain have been working diligently and obeying the weather in order to have a full harvest.
Today, I take advantage of the joy of the restoration of this precious land and pray to the mountain god Grandpa. May Grandpa Mountain God bless Shanyang City and give the people a full warehouse of food to tide them over. "
After that, Wang Chao bowed his head again and kowtowed three times in a row before he straightened up and bowed to Grandpa Mountain God again.
After getting used to the first half, Xu Boan understood a lot of this sentence very quickly.
This is when the dynasty came forward and brought a group of government officials and people to come here to pray for food on the day of the completion ceremony of the City God's Hall.
Shanyang County has been suffering from droughts in recent years, and the people have suffered from food shortages. Recently, they have been attacked by the White Cotton Rebellion and the Qianliang Rebellion. Countless grains have been looted. The people have suffered heavy losses, and the landlords have almost lost their homes. There is food left.
Life is really hard.
"Dynasty, how much food do you need?" Since so many people have spoken, Xu Bo'an has no intention of refusing. After all, he is a member of his family and must be taken care of. Besides, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Anyway, he can't. There is no shortage of food, and a little effort can help.
Hearing this, Wang Chao looked overjoyed and felt relieved, and rambled: "Although I have submitted a letter to the imperial court requesting for grain tax exemption, I have not yet received a response. At present, the rations and taxes needed by Shanyang County are Food, at least..."
Xu Bo'an frowned and interrupted Wang Chao's words, and said sternly: "Nonsense, I gave the food to save people. I thought that the people of Li could not bear to eat, so I made this plan. Could it be that you still want to Do you want me to help you, the county magistrate, pay the grain tax?"
Seeing that Grandpa Mountain God was angry, Wang Dynasty realized that his words had been misunderstood by Grandpa Mountain God. He hurriedly said with fear and fear: "I don't dare, I am just reporting to Grandpa Mountain God honestly and has no other intentions. According to the current situation of Shanyang City, the hungry people The food needed for a day is about two hundred dan, and I hope the mountain god will be kind enough to save the people of Shanyang County."
Xu Bo'an had heard the villagers discussing food in Kaoshan Village before. At that time, Xu Bo'an rewarded the villagers in Kaoshan Village with a paper cup of rice and a paper cup of noodles, which caused many villagers to whisper and chat, among which was Calculation of these two "silos" of grain.
Xu Bo'an also heard some useful measurement methods. After a simple comparison, he found that the amount of this stone was approximately equivalent to about 53 kilograms.
Xu Bo'an quickly made a comparison and estimate based on this quantity. Two hundred stone loads is about 10 tons. Based on the rough estimate of the approximate proportions inside and outside the bonsai, the grain is only 25 kilograms. According to the commonly used large bags of rice, kilograms. The packaging is just two standard bags of rice.
According to the price of about three yuan per pound, it is only three hundred yuan.
With this insignificant consumption, let alone a day's ration, Xu Bo'an could afford to feed them even for a year or more. It was even said that with Xu Boan's current financial resources, there would be no problem in supporting the people of this city.
Of course, Xu Bo'an still understands the principle of rescuing people from emergencies rather than rescuing the poor.
In the current famine, Xu Boan can only help. The future development of Shanyang County will naturally depend on the county leader Wang Chao.
Of course, if Xu Boan is profitable, even if it means continuing to gain emotional value, Xu Boan will always be willing to help them.
In the current situation, it's enough to help them for a while.
Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an said loudly: "I agree to this matter, just wait for a while."
The dynasty led the crowd to prostrate themselves, knelt down, and thanked him again and again.
Xu Bo'an stepped on the accelerator and drove towards Dongjiang Second Construction. After all, there were so many people in Shanyang City. If Xu Bo'an wanted to actually help them, the little rice and noodles he had at home would not be enough.
It's getting late now, and the supermarkets may not be open at this time. The company canteen has a lot of stock, but it can be used temporarily for emergencies and can be replenished later.
The companies affiliated to the Construction Engineering Group are still very user-friendly in this regard. The canteen is not only exclusive for internal staff, but people who work outside can also buy food.
Even some employees are willing to take the food home for their families to enjoy. Firstly, it is of high quality and low price, and secondly, they feel at ease. Especially the steamed buns made by the chef in the cafeteria are widely praised by employees.
Even every winter, the canteen accepts the entrustment of many employees to purchase cabbage, green onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other necessary winter reserves in the north. After all, the company purchases uniformly, both in terms of unit price and quality selection. Guaranteed.
It is also because of these invisible potential benefits that these companies under the Construction Engineering Group have always been the dream companies of many people in Dongjiang City, which is why they have such a great reputation.
About half an hour later, Xu Boan returned to Dongjiang Second Building.
Seeing Xu Bo'an's car, Liu Quan, who had already sat in the car with the ignition on and was about to leave, immediately turned off the ignition. He got out of the car and walked a few steps to Xu Bo'an's car. He helped Xu Bo'an open the driver's door and smiled. He turned to Xu Bo'an and said, "Mr. Xu, you are back. Would you like to ask the canteen to cook you something to eat?"
Liu Quan was really happy because his overtime work was noticed by his boss.
Xu Bo'an waved his hand and said: "There is no need for meals. Our canteen should have big bags of white flour. In this case, you can arrange for someone to bring two bags of rice and two bags of white flour and put them in my office first. If not, you can also put the small bags in Well, the total quantity is one hundred kilograms each.”
Liu Quan thought Xu Boan had made a mistake and reminded him kindly: "There are some, but... the office? Mr. Xu, how about I just put them in your car?"
Xu Boan waved his hand and said, "Just do as I say."
The good thing about Liu Quan is that he will never break the pot and ask questions to the end. He said straight away: "I understand, Mr. Xu. We will make arrangements immediately."
After thinking about it, Xu Boan added: "Also, let's bring some more meat and cooking oil. Twenty or thirty kilograms of pork will be enough, and four or five barrels of oil will be enough. Then you can make a list for me. Let’s see how much it costs and I’ll make up for it tomorrow.”
Liu Quan naturally knew that he couldn't be polite to the leader at this time. After all, he was just a wage earner and couldn't blatantly be generous to the company. He immediately nodded with a smile and said, "I understand, Mr. Xu, I'll make arrangements right away."
Xu Bo'an smiled with satisfaction, patted Liu Quan on the shoulder, and asked: "Why don't you come back so late? The work is never finished, you have to learn to adjust."
Liu Quan is also considered a good person. When he heard this, he knew that this was Mr. Xu's attempt to spread the pie. He immediately responded: "Thank you for your concern, leader. You come to the company so late. Our little business volume doesn't matter. It's all for Everyone is willing to do what the company does.”
Xu Boan nodded and did not continue the topic.
After all, he was here to handle private matters. It was really against his will to talk about this kind of situation, but he had to deal with it.
So he ended the topic and said directly: "Okay, you kid must pay attention to your health. I'm going back to the office first."
Liu Quan smiled and greeted from behind: "Leader, please go slowly, I will arrange for someone to deliver the things up immediately."
Xu Bo'an waved his hand, said no more, and went directly to the office.
Soon, two 50-jin bags of rice, two 50-jin bags of flour, and two boxes were delivered to Xu Boan's office.
One of the boxes contained four barrels of cooking oil in a cardboard box, and the other was a thoughtful foam box with ice packs and pork inside.
Xu Bo'an nodded with satisfaction. Liu Quan had always been very careful.
These things may not seem like much, but to the little people in the bonsai world, they are enough for tens of thousands of hungry people in the city to drink very thick porridge, at least the kind of regular relief porridge that can't be poured by standing up chopsticks.
One meal like this can last for three days!
In addition to meat and oil, it can also replenish nutrition and the oil and water in the stomach. Of course, the distribution of these things must be decided by the dynasty itself. There must be something good to mobilize people's enthusiasm.
After everyone left, Xu Boan called out the bonsai and put it away, then opened the rice and flour bag.
The next moment, Xu Boan consumed the power of incense and his vision cut into Shanyang City.
In front of the statue of the City God, those people were still kneeling respectfully on the ground under the leadership of the Dynasty.
Suddenly, there was a "swish" sound coming from behind. Originally, everyone could bear not to look back. After all, they were worshiping the mountain god Grandpa. If they turned around rashly, it would be a bit disrespectful to the gods. .
But as the sound got louder and louder, someone finally couldn't help it anymore, turned his head and looked back, and then couldn't help shouting.
"Is this... hail? Oh no... Oh my god, mountains of rice are falling from the sky! Grandpa Mountain God, it must be a blessing from Grandpa Mountain God!"
Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly turned around and looked, and saw a white ribbon hanging in the distant sky.
Looking carefully, I discovered that a huge rice ball like a waterfall fell from the sky. On the empty bluestone square underground, a mountain of rice like a hill had already been piled up.
This is naturally Xu Boan's method. This method is much more shocking than just dropping a big bag of rice that looks like a mountain and leaving it there.
A high B level looks more like a miracle!
Although it seems a bit laborious, it can actually be done with just one funnel. (End of chapter)
