Chapter 314 Helping Together to Overcome Difficulties
"Everyone is in no hurry to leave. In order to thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to help these victims, I specially asked someone to make a plaque. I also hope that all the gentlemen can complete the unveiling ceremony with me!"

Several masters looked at each other and wondered, this donated money and also unveiled the plaque?But even if you have doubts in your heart, it's not bad to shiver at the end, and it's over if your lord echoes if you have a life.

March opened the way for the county magistrate, and all the lords came down behind the county magistrate. They didn't have any intuitive feelings from upstairs, and the real lords at the gate felt the shock of the crowd.

Seeing Mr. Fu and all the masters coming down, Xiao Er hurriedly waved to the crowd, and the bustling people began to cheer, "Thank you, Mr. County Magistrate, thank you all masters!"

County Magistrate Fu hurriedly stretched out his hands to say that this should be done, but the faces of the lords flushed with joy. They have never been so loved by the people, and they hurriedly arranged their clothes secretly while others were not paying attention.

Several wives came down with Mrs. Zhang, and saw the scene on the street and saw their husband with such a long face!They also proudly looked at the hairpins on the Buddha's head, smiled and looked at the crowd and thought: I really have never had such a face before, the money donated is worth it.

And Mrs. Zhang covered her lips with a handkerchief to hide her smile. Sanyue, a girl who knows how to play tricks, made them leave happily after paying for the money. No one is more clever than her.

County magistrate Fu saw that everyone had arrived, and was about to unveil the plaque, when suddenly an old lady squeezed out from the crowd, with gray hair and wrinkled face,

His thin body made the big clothes look crumpled, and he walked to magistrate Fu tremblingly with a walking stick, and said excitedly:

"Master County Magistrate, my wife is very grateful to you. Since the drought in my hometown last year, my wife hasn't had a full meal.

I won’t leave the village where I’ve lived all my life to seek famine here. My wife has been here for three days and hasn’t eaten a single meal.
I thought that my poor life would be thrown here, but I didn't expect to meet a good official like you who can donate money and food for us victims of the disaster. This gave us a way to survive!Thank you, magistrate, thank you all masters, please be respected by my wife! "

For a while, the street was blocked with water, only to hear the excited shouts of the crowd:

"Thank you magistrate, thank you all masters"

The county magistrate rushed forward to help the old lady. How could he let the elders kneel down on him, help her up and said earnestly:

"Madam, don't worry, this is only temporary, and our life will be better when the imperial court comes down to provide relief." Then he said loudly to the victims:

"I assure you that all the money raised today will be used to resettle and buy food for the victims of this disaster! Please rest assured, the court's decree will come down soon, and everyone will have a stable life by then! Come! Lords and I will unveil the plaque together!"

As the red cloth on the plaque fell off, the four characters of helping each other in times of trouble steadily appeared in everyone's eyes.

The county magistrate said emotionally to the crowd:

"This drought, I will help you in the same boat and tide over the difficulties together!"

"Thank you magistrate, thank you gentlemen, thank you magistrate"

Sanyue watched today's fundraising going smoothly, and was also happy for the victims. Tomorrow, these gentlemen will send the donated silver taels to her. This is the end of the matter, and I don't know what happened to Jixuan.
San Yue's worry was right, her side was going very smoothly, Li Jixuan's side didn't enjoy as much happiness as they did.

After assigning tasks with March, Li Jixuan took half of the troops of the patrol battalion to cut down trees in the forest not far from Da'an Town. They were all sweating, and the clothes stuck to their bodies as if they had been washed.

The adjutant took off his clothes, casually threw them on the ground and said:
"General! It's noon! It's time for them to change shifts!"

Li Jixuan stopped swinging the ax and looked at the sun to calculate the time, it was indeed!
"Okay! The whole team will return to camp and change shifts in the afternoon!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers lined up to set off for the camp, but Li Jixuan was not in a hurry, and kept patrolling the pile of logs, wondering how many porridge sheds these logs could build
The construction of simple houses has to be postponed. Fortunately, summer is not winter, and young and middle-aged people with strong bodies can still sleep in the open air.

After thinking about it, he picked up the kettle on the ground and took a few sips, put on his clothes and left.

In the afternoon, Qingyun Qingzhi took the shift away from the tree-cutting soldiers. Li Jixuan kept writing and drawing while looking at the map of Da'an Town in the tent.
After thinking about the location of the porridge shed and planning several locations according to his own ideas, Li Jixuan rolled up the map and set off for the county government.

This time Sanyue wasn't here, and she had to figure out the follow-up matters of her restaurant, so Li Jixuan didn't specifically look for her this time, he asked magistrate Fu and put it on the back of his mind.

After spreading out the map of Da'an Town on the table, County Magistrate Fu walked up to Li Jixuan with his hands behind his back and a tired look on his face to discuss with him.

Li Jixuan pointed out several places where he was going to set up porridge sheds to show to magistrate Fu, pointing to the places he chose while explaining the purpose of building there.

"Look, uncle! I'm going to set up porridge sheds at these intersections, so people can easily see you, what do you say?"

County magistrate Fu took a closer look and found that the places Li Jixuan had chosen were all lively and bustling places in the town with many people coming and going.

"Jixuan! These places are a bit inappropriate. I can understand why you want to set up the porridge shed here, but we still have to consider the actual situation.
For example, this crossing is usually the most prosperous place, and setting up the porridge shed here will cause congestion and inconvenience~! "

Li Jixuan nodded his head and said:

"Uncle is still thoughtful. I always feel that something is wrong, so I came to ask. It seems that I came to the right place!"

Magistrate Fu smiled and shook his hand:
"It's not that you think it's wrong, it's that we each perform our own duties and understand that it's just one-third of an acre of land. I know this because I'm too familiar with this town!"

After speaking, he went back to the desk, dipped the brush in the ink, and re-marked a few places on the map, and said while pointing:
"Like these places, which occupy a large area, they can build houses and disperse the victims well. It is not inappropriate to set up porridge sheds here!"

Li Jixuan thought about it in his heart and it was true.

"En! The house and the porridge shed are built together, and it saves them from having to go around! But I don't have enough wood here, so I have to slow down building the house now!"

Magistrate Fu nodded thoughtfully, "Well! That's the only way to go! By the way, you can't move your hands away. I'll see what's going on in the nursing home. I'll arrange someone else!"
