Antique food: The general dotes on his lucky wife

When Lin Changqing heard about the Song family, his face immediately turned cold.

"Don't worry about it. The Song family is like grasshoppers after the fall. They can't jump around for a few days. If they are not dealt with now, they are just waiting for Inspector Ji Mintao to say something!"

After all, the Song family is the mother clan of Ji Mintao, the inspector general, and if such a big thing happened, Ji Mintao would definitely apologize to Zhezi in the capital.

Lin Changqing has already sent a letter to the emperor on the situation he found out one by one. Then he only has to wait for the emperor to issue orders!

"I will be in the city for a while. If nothing happens next, how about we go and play around?"

When Chen Xi heard that Lin Changqing would be in Hangzhou recently, he was immediately happy, but soon frowned and said, "Let's see in two days. I don't know how much impact this typhoon will have!"

Mentioning the typhoon, Lin Changqing also showed a trace of sadness on his face: "Yes!"

Both of them were worried, but it soon became clear that their worries were not unfounded.

On the fifth day after the typhoon, Chen Xi woke up early and heard Dong Baozhen telling her that Lin Changqing was waiting for her.

Chen Xi quickly washed up and went to see Lin Changqing, but Lin Changqing was already ready to go.

"what happened?"

Since the last time Lin Changqing took Chen Xi into his arms in front of everyone, Lin Changqing would always find an opportunity to either hold Chen Xi's hand or hug her whenever they were alone together in the past few days.

As soon as they met at this time, Lin Changqing pulled Chen Xi to sit down, grabbed her hand and said with a heavy expression: "I'm leaving. There's a flood in the north. I have to set off immediately to provide disaster relief. I'm afraid that one or two people will be lost in this trip." Yue, you have to be well here. I will write to you often.

Give you! "

Chen Xi was stunned and couldn't help but shake Lin Changqing's hand: "Are you going to provide disaster relief?"

Lin Changqing looked grave: "It's said to be disaster relief, but actually it's to prevent unrest!"

During the years of natural and man-made disasters, people's lives have undergone major changes. At this time, as long as local forces come forward to provide food and drink, a large number of forces will soon gather.

Disaster relief was a matter for the imperial court, and Lin Changqing's main purpose in the past was to prevent unrest.

Chen Xi was worried: "You have to be careful."

"Don't worry about me. The victims are expected to go south soon. Hangzhou will definitely be affected by then. I'm not here, so you have to be careful."

Chen Xi nodded: "Don't worry, you should be careful when you go to the north. Plague can easily occur after floods. You should bring doctors and medicinal materials in advance. In addition, you must remember not to drink raw water after floods. The water at the entrance must be boiled."

Lin Changqing nodded: "Okay, I made a note of it, and I will take the doctor with me!"

The time to say goodbye was always short. After Chen Xi saw Lin Changqing off at the dock, he felt a sense of loss in his heart.

Although she and Lin Changqing seemed to be together, they were always together less and more apart.

Moreover, they are "nameless and without status" after all, and no one knows where they will go in the future!

Chen Xi stayed in Hangzhou, making people pay close attention to the situation of the refugees. Soon it was discovered that refugees from the north were moving south in large numbers, and food prices were also rising rapidly.

Chen Xi made a decision immediately and started to stockpile grain while the price of grain was not high at this time.

Fortunately, the processing plant has a large area, and the completed factory buildings have not been put into production yet. There are also large warehouses, which can be used for temporary storage.

Because Chen Xi is in the food business, he is very interested in food.

The price of food is very sensitive. When she started to collect food, most people in Hangzhou did not react.

And although people around saw Chen Ji transporting grain to the processing factory, no one took it seriously because Chen Ji often bought rice and noodles.

By the time the people in Hangzhou realized that food prices were rising and there were more and more disaster victims outside the city, it was already too late to buy food!

Not to mention that food is now several times the usual amount, even if you want to use money to buy food, you may not be able to buy it!

Some small restaurants have begun to close because they cannot buy food. Only some large restaurants are still open, among which Chenji Sanzhonglou is one of them.

However, the price of food at Chen Kee has now more than doubled, and the portion sizes of meals have also begun to decrease significantly.

But even so, the dignitaries in Hangzhou who came to Chenji for dinner did not complain, because it is so difficult to have a delicious meal at this time!

At the same time, the Hangzhou government began to organize people to provide disaster relief, because if the victims outside the city were not properly resettled, riots would soon occur!

Now take out some food for disaster relief and stabilize this group of victims. Once the victims are allowed to riot, things will be big!

Others don't know, but the Hangzhou prefect knows that Hangzhou's biggest protector, Qinglangying, is no longer in Hangzhou. If bandits incite the victims to cause chaos at this time, he, the prefect, will probably die to apologize!

At this time, Chen Xi was already extremely anxious!

However, until the Hangzhou government takes action, Chen Xi must not be the "one who stands out"!

Now I heard that the Hangzhou government started organizing

People released food for disaster relief, and Chen Xi immediately teamed up with several familiar business owners to set up a disaster relief point outside the city.

Because these things had been prepared before, the soup kitchen tent of Hangzhou Commercial Bank represented by Chen Ji soon became widely spread among the victims.

Some trading houses in Hangzhou saw Chen Ji's move and immediately followed him.

Everyone has noticed Chen Ji's work over the past six months, so you can't go wrong by following Chen Ji!

Nowadays, you can get a good reputation with a little food. In the Taiping years, no matter how much you did, you couldn't get it!

The prefect of Hangzhou heard that Chenji Trading Company and many trading firms in Hangzhou began to provide porridge on their own, and quickly sent people to commend them.

Chen Xi took the opportunity to write a letter to the prefect of Hangzhou.

The Hangzhou magistrate did not expect that Chen Ji's employer would bring him a letter, and he was a little dissatisfied at first.

"I heard that Chen Ji's boss is a woman. I really don't know what to say! Does she think that because she has some shady relationship with General Lin, she can talk to me? Humph!"

The complaint was so complaining, but for Lin Changqing's sake, the Hangzhou magistrate opened the letter and read it. However, after reading it, he couldn't help but read it three times in a row!

After a long time, the Hangzhou magistrate suddenly stood up and slammed the table: "Here, hurry up and prepare the sedan. I want to go outside the city to meet Chen Dong's family in person!"

Chen Xi is at the Qiantang Pier at this time. Tens of thousands of refugees have gathered here. Chen Xi doesn't have much food in his hands, so the porridge he gives cannot survive with chopsticks, but it will be stirred in when making the porridge. Some flour and porridge don't seem to be clear and watery, so more and more victims are gathering here.

Hangzhou

When the prefect came over, Chen Xi was assigning tomorrow's tasks to Chen Ji's people.

Giving porridge is not just about giving out a bowl of porridge. You must always pay attention to whether any of the victims are sick, whether the condition is serious, whether they are contagious, whether anyone takes the opportunity to do evil, etc.

Chen Ji's people and the strong men among the victims formed a patrol team to ensure that the refugees would not be harmed again!

The prefect of Hangzhou came over and saw the scene here. Thinking of the suggestions Chen Xi gave him in the letter, he immediately looked at Chen Xi with admiration!

He secretly thought, no wonder a young talent like Lin Changqing would be so interested in a businesswoman. This Chen Jidong is really different from ordinary women!

"Dr. Chen, you are truly a woman who is not inferior to men, a hero among women!"

Chen Xi looked at the middle-aged man with a slim figure and a chic manner in front of him, and his first impression was very good.

"excuse me, you are?"

The person next to him immediately said: "This is Mr. Xu, the prefect of Hangzhou!"

Chen Xi did not expect that the Hangzhou magistrate would come in person and quickly saluted.

"Chen Xi pays homage to Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu, are you here because of that letter?"

Magistrate Xu laughed: "Exactly! I was very inspired by what Chen Dongjia mentioned in his heart of 'replacing work with charity', so I came here to ask Chen Dongjia in person how to implement it!"

When Chen Xi heard this, he immediately laughed.

A few days ago, she received a letter from Lin Changqing, telling her that if she wanted to do something, she could write to Mr. Xu, the prefect of Hangzhou.

Now it seems that Lin Changqing was right again!
