After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Chapter 204 Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality

The people who flew down from above were the ones who were looking for the victims of the disaster under Qin Yaoguang's orders.

He had excellent eyesight and saw the old man trapped under the beam at a glance.

Without saying anything, he lifted the beam and put it down gently.

Behind him, two blue-clothed guards carried the old man out of the collapsed ruins.

"Don't be afraid."

Fang Ting said: "Don't worry about this place, just follow us!"

"Go...where?"

The woman held her daughter's hand, feeling so awkward that she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.

A blue-clothed guard said gently, "Her Royal Highness the Princess has ordered that the victims whose houses collapsed should be temporarily housed in other courtyards."

Her Royal Highness the Princess!

Hope suddenly lit up in the woman's eyes, and she shook the old man's arm: "Dad, Dad! Did you hear that? The princess has sent someone to rescue us!"

The same thing happened everywhere in the imperial estate.

Due to the natural disaster, most of the crops in the fields were destroyed and more than ten houses collapsed.

In the imperial farm with two to three hundred households, two people died, five were seriously injured, and the remaining twenty to thirty people were seriously injured, most of whom were hit by the collapsed houses while they were sleeping.

These people were rescued and settled in other courtyards.

Bai Lu took people to clean up an unused courtyard and invited the doctor from the farm to treat everyone.

The third brother took the fifth brother and Dongqing and put all the medicinal herbs here so that they could be used at any time.

There were not enough doctors, but fortunately most of the cases were external injuries. Fang Ting and the Qingyi Guards knew how to treat them, so they stayed here to help save people.

There is no way to save those who were crushed to death on the spot, but we must find a way to save those who survived.

The whole yard was filled with wounded and sick people, but they all consciously maintained order. Even if they were in pain, most of them endured it so as not to disturb His Highness.

It is their blessing to have a kind master like the Princess.

The old man was still very weak, and the wound on his leg had been bandaged and put in a splint.

The daughter-in-law helped him up and brought the porridge to his mouth: "Dad, the doctor said you need to eat something so you can recover faster."

The old man hesitated: "Let's leave it to Nannan."

The woman laughed and pointed at her daughter who was chewing a steamed bun. "Dad, there is food for everyone. Drink the porridge first, then have a bun. His Highness said that if anyone in our courtyard is not full, just tell us."

This yard is full of old, weak, sick and disabled people.

After Qing Bai reported back, Qin Yaoguang asked the kitchen to give priority to supply.

"A good man..."

The old man's hands were trembling. He pushed away the porridge in his daughter-in-law's hands, propped himself up, and bowed three times respectfully towards the main courtyard.

"Her Royal Highness the Princess is a very good person!"

The little girl holding the steamed bun repeated this sentence.

At the gate of the villa, Qingbai built a simple shed, and Hanlu brought the kitchen staff to distribute porridge and grain here.

The second brother stood by, holding the roster he got from the village head.

The roster clearly records how many people are in a household, how much land they own, and whether they have any livestock.

Calculated per person, everyone can get a bowl of porridge, the elderly can get a steamed bun, men can get a steamed bun, and children can get a vodka.

The disaster came suddenly, and in the entire imperial farm, there were only about ten wealthy families who could cook.

The food Qin Yaoguang had prepared in advance came in handy at this moment.

The second brother took a Leyang pen and made a mark next to the names of the people who had walked up to him.

The line was long but quiet and orderly.

If you are in the capital, you might also encounter thugs who cut in line by relying on their youth and strength.

But this is the imperial estate belonging to the eldest princess, and they all depend on the eldest princess for their livelihood. Who dares to mess around?

The line moved slowly, and a sturdy man came to the front and held out the broken bowl in his hand: "I'm the only one."

The second brother raised an eyebrow, looked at him and asked, "Name?"

"big cow."

"Where do you live?"

"Right, right over there, by the river."

The second brother raised the list in his hand and said, "Your name is Erniu, and you are the son-in-law of Old Man Tian. A quarter of an hour ago, the Tian family came to collect food for the whole family."

"You...how do you know?"

Erniu took a step back, looking a little aggrieved: "They, they only gave me half a bowl of porridge, I can't eat enough!"

The second brother raised his eyes and said, "When the Tian family came to collect the food, you were watching from the side. How do you think I knew?"

Erniu was standing nearby at the time, staring at the buns and drooling. The sound of his swallowing could be heard ten miles away.

He basically has an impression of anyone he sees, let alone this one who stands out.

It turns out that the son-in-law has such low status that he can't even get enough food to eat.

Erniu is a big and strong man, what can half a bowl of porridge do for him?

Although the second brother felt sympathetic, he had to follow the rules.

Rules cannot be abolished.

Once an exception is made, what should we do if other families also start complaining?

Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality.

The hailstorm had just begun, but the amount of stored food was limited.

For a young and middle-aged man, a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun are definitely not enough to fill him up.

However, the purpose of distributing porridge and food is to prevent people from starving to death, not to let people reap the benefits.

Let the Tian family resolve their own affairs.

The second brother called a servant and asked him to call the head of the Tian family.

The person who came was an elderly woman.

As soon as he saw the second young master, he approached him with an apologetic smile and said, "Second Young Master, it's not that we don't like him, it's just that he eats too much and our family can't afford it!"

Qin Yaoguang brought them to the villa, and it had been ten days since then. All the farmers recognized them.

The second son's face darkened. "The amount of food each person gets is determined by mother. You deducted it. Do you think you don't take the eldest princess's order seriously? According to the law, you can be punished!"

"How dare I?"

The old woman originally thought that teenagers were easiest to fool.

I didn’t expect the second child to be so capable.

"Yes, yes, yes..." She responded repeatedly and glared at Erniu, "Eat, eat, eat! All you do all day is eat! You left and you still go begging for a bun, aren't you ashamed!"

Erniu was a big man, but he shrank his neck and dared not utter a word after being scolded by her.

The second brother shook his head, sighed inwardly, and continued to tick on the list.

In the main room, Qin Yaoguang listened to the report.

"I have cleared out all the food in the kitchen and warehouse. According to daily consumption, it is enough to feed more than 30 people in our courtyard for half a month."

Rice, flour, grain and oil, except for some stock, were specially prepared for the eldest princess to arrive at the villa.

In terms of quantity, it is enough.

Hanlu reported: "At the rate we are distributing porridge and food today, it will only last for five days."

No matter how many there are, they can't feed so many mouths in the entire imperial farm.

"It's okay. As long as we survive this round, the people on the farm can open fire on their own."

Don't help the poor, but help the urgent.

She could compensate the people for the losses incurred by the disaster by reducing or exempting rent.

The third child stepped forward and said, "Mother, there is a severe shortage of medicinal materials."

Qin Yaoguang nodded, thinking that after exploring the outside roads, he would send someone to the capital to buy it.

As they were talking, they suddenly heard a loud noise coming from afar.

"what happened?"

Qin Yaoguang stood up suddenly.
