The Peasant Girl's Glory

After listening to Master Wei, he immediately retorted:

"Hehe, Mr. Xu, you are not deeply involved in the world. I have been in the ups and downs of officials for several years, and I know that self-protection is the best policy."

"Not to mention being an official, there are many right and wrong in every line of work. In this world, how can you do everything according to your own will!"

He paused as he spoke, and turned to face Xu Zhifu:

"Nowadays the plague is raging, and life is in danger. If the epidemic is allowed to continue to develop because of temporary mercy, won't this mean that the people of Qingzhou will be buried with them? My subordinates think..."

"Master Wei!"

Before Mr. Wei finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xu Xiaoli. He stood in front of Mr. Wei with sharp eyes and asked:
"What is the kindness of a moment? There has been a saying since ancient times: Water can carry a boat and it can also overturn it! When encountering such an important matter of life and death, the people's feelings should be considered at the first moment! If you treat them so casually, the people will complain a lot. , the people’s hearts are unstable, what should you do if you cause riots?”

"This..." Principal Wei was so suppressed by Xu Xiaoli's unsteady public opinion that he didn't know how to answer, and looked at the other principals beside him as if asking for help.

Seeing him, Xu Xiaoli still didn't give up, and immediately asked the principals around him righteously:
"Aren't you all worried about the huge consequences caused by the instability of the people's hearts? Once you provoke public anger and cause chaos, you will be in big trouble, and it will not be easy to clean up the situation!"

"To prevent the situation from expanding, I think it is time to allocate funds and mobilize donations, and send doctors to treat the infected, and try our best to treat the sick and save lives."

"In addition, the infected person cannot stay in the town. They should be placed properly so as not to infect others. This is the most important part..."

Xu Xiaoli's face was serious, and he spoke eloquently.

Hearing Xu Xiaoli's words, everyone couldn't help feeling respectful in their hearts. Unexpectedly, at such a young age, this son has a great mind. No matter what the result will be, he can uphold the righteousness now, which is already admirable.

Even Chief Wei gave Xu Xiaoli a surprised look.

It never occurred to him that this playboy, who is usually absurd, is now here to uphold justice and uphold justice for the common people.

I don't know if it's a sudden change of temperament, or he has been hiding his clumsiness, but this other side is admirable.

Thinking of this, Chief Wei couldn't help showing a look of vicissitudes on his face. Looking at it in the dim light, he saw overlapping crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, and his short beard was also a little white.

When a person reaches his age and has experienced a lot, he will naturally look down on it.

After a moment of silence, he cupped his hands: "Mr. Xu is right, and he thinks very carefully. It's his subordinate who is being rude."

"It's okay."

Prefect Xu waved his hand, feeling very relieved.

Li'er used to only know how to play, but after going out this time, she seemed to mature overnight.

He not only sympathizes with the suffering of the people, but also gives feasible suggestions, and has considered the problem quite thoroughly.

Master Zhou is very good at flattering people, he immediately smiled and said:

"Mr. Xu's righteousness and lofty aspirations really make me feel ashamed. If you can think of the common people, you must do something in the future."

Xu Xiaoli didn't change his expression, he seemed to be used to this kind of high praise, he replied: "I'm sorry, I have a humble opinion, it's my nephew playing tricks in front of all uncles."

Xu Zhifu glanced at him, leaned back on the back seat, and his face became calmer:
"The incident happened so suddenly, Zhou Xueru probably didn't know about it yet, so, Li'er, you go to the Zhou Mansion with Zhou Shutang and tell the truth about the ins and outs of the incident."

The "Zhou Xueru" mentioned by the prefect Xu is Zhou Xuezheng, the eldest brother of Master Zhou, who was the former Minister of Dali Temple.

When Zhou Xuezheng served as an official and inspected Qingzhou, it happened that there was a severe famine in Qingzhou.

He tried his best to open the reserve granary, released grain to relieve the victims, and set up porridge bureaus in the city to give porridge to the disaster victims.

At that time, a large number of hungry people flocked to eat, and there were tens of thousands of people who came to eat. Seeing that the storage was about to run out, he personally came forward to borrow money from the local wealthy households in the name of the government to buy food, and continued to cook porridge to help the hungry people.

The porridge bureau opened in December and continued until the wheat harvest in April of the following year, and there were countless people alive.

He also specially set up a "Milk Relief Bureau" to urgently transfer grain outside, and persuaded wealthy households to distribute the surplus grain to meet the needs of the victims to buy grain, which greatly alleviated the panic of food shortage caused by the disaster.

As for those old, weak, sick, disabled, and homeless victims, he set up nursing homes in the city and tried his best to take them in.Not only that, but he also set up a wide range of medical clinics, so that the common people can "sick and heal, and die as a burial."

The people of Qingzhou are grateful for his kindness and respect him extremely.

After Xie Guan lived in the countryside, he bought land in the west of the city and built an academy. On the first day of each month, Mr. Xiang was invited to give a lecture, which had a great influence, and everyone respectfully called him "Zhou Xueru".

"Yes!"

Hearing that his father wanted him to go to Zhou's house, the corners of Xu Xiaoli's lips curled up, as if everything had been expected.

……

Shen Furong waited in the pavilion for a long time before bringing Father Zhou back.

Before seeing his father, he saw Master Zhou trotting over all the way: "Brother, it's not good, it's not good!"

"Don't rush into everything, be calm, and it's the same in doing things, be steady, and be calm in everything."

"Tell me, what happened again this time?"

After Zhou Xuezheng finished speaking, he picked up the teacup beside him and drank it.

Master Tuesday had just rushed back all the way, so he was still out of breath.

After recovering for a while, Lord Tuesday said anxiously: "It's Huainan Town, Huainan Town has a plague!"

When Zhou Xuezheng heard this, his expression changed drastically.

plague?how come!
At this time, a man in a red robe slowly walked over after Lord Tuesday.

That person was Xu Xiaoli whom Shen Furong had seen during the day.

"Meet Shibo."

After saluting to Zhou Xuezheng, he straightened up, turned his gaze to Shen Furong, his star eyes slightly narrowed, showing a little arrogance and domineering.

Shen Furong looked back at him quietly.

"Li'er, long time no see."

Zhou Xuezheng looked Xu Xiaoli up and down, saw that he was handsome, his eyes were bright, and his whole body was full of heroism, so he nodded with a smile.

Hearing the title "Li'er", Shi Yue who was standing behind Shen Furong couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Shen Furong turned her head to look at her, and she whispered in Shen Furong's ear: "Why does he have the same name as the little emperor's grandson?"

Shen Furong laughed, but she couldn't deny it: "It's really a coincidence."

Xu Xiaoli glanced at them unintentionally, slightly raised his lips, lowered his eyelashes, and then slowly told Father Zhou what he had seen and heard in Huainan Town.

After Zhou Xuezheng listened, he sighed: "The heaven and the earth are not benevolent, and all things are regarded as straw dogs. Thousands of innocent people will suffer more torture."

After Xu Xiaoli finished speaking, Lord Zhou described to Zhou Xuezheng what happened in the government office just now, and said:
"Master Wei acts tough on weekdays, thanks to Mr. Xu's righteous words today, otherwise the people of Huainan Town will suffer."
