Small Shenyang disaster relief threw sand into porridge, civil and military officials swore, why are the victims grateful?

Although Xiao Shenyang was the biggest corrupt official in the Qing Dynasty, when Jiaqing took office to copy his house, the confiscated money was worth 15 of the fiscal revenue, which was really insatiable. But small Shenyang is also a great hero of the imperial court. According to records, as long as small Shenyang goes to the management department, it will not be short of money, which also shows that small Shenyang is very good at management.

Xiao Shenyang Steels

What a capable corrupt official. Ganlong sent him to the disaster relief, but he didn't expect to put sand in the porridge. When officials heard about it, they would think that Shenyang was shoddy and extended their greedy hands to the silver coins for disaster relief, and condemned them one after another. Surprisingly, however, the victim was very grateful to Xiao Shenyang for throwing sand. What's going on here?

In the face of natural and man-made disasters and force majeure, the imperial court allocated funds to release grain, which is called disaster relief. In fact, it is more to prevent the victims from making trouble. After all, suppressing riots costs more than disaster relief. We can see from many TV dramas that whenever there is a disaster relief, a shelter for the victims will be set up, and the victims will queue up with bowls in their hands and take turns to get food. Natural disasters occurred during the Qianlong period, and it was also done according to the old rules, and small Shenyang was sent. However, this time the disaster is more serious and there are more and more victims. However, seeing that there were fewer and fewer silver coins for disaster relief, Xiao Shenyang encountered a problem, and then he solved the problem through a handful of sand.

Among the victims are ordinary people who fish in troubled waters.

After checking the books, Xiao Shenyang found that no one misappropriated the relief funds. One day, when he visited the disaster relief situation, he found that some people were wearing the clothes of the victims, but their faces were ruddy and shiny. It turns out that these people are ordinary people, just pretending to be victims and fishing in troubled waters. After all, there is a free lunch in the world, and many people want a bite.

For those who are not affected by the disaster, disaster relief food is like a pie falling from the sky. So he mingled with the victims and ate free food. But in this way, the relief food will not be distributed enough, and there will be little food in the hands of the victims. Some refugees who have suffered disasters will even starve to death.

After learning this situation, Little Shenyang threw sand into the porridge, because we all know one thing, but when people are extremely hungry, they will eat wild vegetables and bark, not to mention porridge with some sand. Similarly, as long as the victims can save their lives, no matter what is in the porridge, as long as they can fill their stomachs. But those civilians in disguise can't eat it, because there is oil and water in their stomachs, and porridge with sand is hard to swallow. So they left the army of victims one by one. Therefore, from this perspective, small Shenyang does not want to make a fortune, but more is to do something for the victims.

It's still delicious to throw sand.

Many people will think, what are the benefits of drinking sand porridge? As long as it's harmless to the body. In fact, it is good for the victims to have sand in the porridge. I don't know if you have encountered such a situation when reading the article, because you are hungry because you work overtime or clean the room and forget to eat. However, after ordering takeout, you find that your stomach is full and uncomfortable. That's what happens without a meal. For the victims, if they suddenly have porridge to eat after a few days of hunger, this feeling will be stronger and there may be a risk of death.

Therefore, sprinkling some sand in the porridge can make the victims slow down the speed of drinking porridge and avoid the unfortunate and embarrassing situation of being suffocated. Here is an example. The great poet Du Fu believes that anyone who has read history knows it, but it is said that Du Fu is dead.

According to the Biography of Du Fu in the Old Tang Dynasty, Yongtai vomited beef and white wine for two years and died in Leiyang overnight at the age of 59.

It turned out that Du Fu was on his way to visit relatives and didn't eat for several days. There happened to be an official who was a fan of Du Fu and specially delivered wine and beef to Du Fu. After Du Fu was hungry for a few days, he saw so many similar delicacies, gulped down meat and was finally suffocated.

It can be seen that people who suddenly overeat under the condition of long-term hunger are indeed life-threatening.

Therefore, although little Shenyang was greedy, throwing sand in the porridge pot did a good thing for the victims and benefited the people. Natural victims are also grateful to him.
