Chapter 137 - 131 License Plate
Fu Tinghan couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "You’d best take it slow, you still have to plead with Zhao Ming for a title."
"How do you know he agreed?"
"Seeing how happy you are walking over here, I guessed."
"You guessed pretty well," Zhao Hanzhang said, "I wanted to make you the County Magistrate, but your identity isn’t suitable to be placed in the forefront right now, so we both have to keep a low profile for now."
Fu Tinghan gestured with the book in his hand, "Then this..."
"Keep it for now, we’ll talk about it after this period," Zhao Hanzhang was patient, and didn’t want to make anyone unhappy at the moment.
The immediate priority is still saving lives and calming the people’s hearts.
The effect of Zhao Hanzhang personally stepping out to calm the masses was quite good. The citizens of the city saw that the chaotic army had been driven away, and Zhao Hanzhang had brought so many people to live in the county government. Hearing that Zhao Ming from Zhao’s Fortress had come to assist her, their confidence immediately multiplied, and they no longer thought about fleeing.
Zhao Hanzhang was true to her word. After roughly counting the number of survivors in the city, she began to open the granaries and distribute grain, with everyone being able to receive enough rations for three days at once.
Song Zhi and Chen Si Niang, who came to report for duty, hadn’t had time to introduce themselves before Fu Tinghan directly asked Qiu Wu to take them to the relief point, "The people who registered yesterday have all received number plates. Today, they will bring their plates to receive relief grain. Your task is to mark the names of those who come to receive the relief grain. Those over fourteen are considered adults; adults receive two and a half pounds of grain for three days, while those under fourteen receive two pounds."
This was the booklet filled out by Fu Tinghan when listing the names of survivors yesterday. He used quite a bit of paper from the county government and cut them into number plates for this purpose.
