In the 19th year of Jiaqing, Qing Dynasty, there was a drought in the south of the Yangtze River, with high terrain in Wuxi, and the drought was particularly serious. On a business trip to the countryside, Qi Yanhuai, a city official, was very sad and worried when he saw that there was no one in the air thousands of miles away, cooking without food, firewood under the pot and useless water. The government distributes food as usual.
It is more convenient to sell it to ordinary people at a reasonable price. However, thousands of miles away, it is impossible to come to the city because of a little food. Therefore, the government sells grain at low prices, which can only benefit people who live nearby, but not those who live far away.
Yin Fu's family sells grain at a low price in the countryside, which is convenient both far and near. However, people without a certain amount of money can't buy food. So some people sell grain at low prices, which can only benefit the poor, but not the very poor.
Because of this, Qi Yanhuai came up with a way to arrange disaster relief. By March this year, * * * had donated124,000 yuan. Yanfu people like to do good deeds and use porridge to help in times of disaster. More than ten porridge factories in urban and rural areas, * * * donated more than tens of thousands of miles. There are countless people living on it. Alas, who says that people are simple in heart and simple in customs? It's not as good as ancient times now!

In the ninth year of Jiaqing, there was a drought in the south of the Yangtze River, and Wuxi was regarded as a high terrain, and the disaster was particularly severe. Qi Yanhuai, the mayor of the city, went to the countryside with the smell of things and secretly saw thousands of miles of bare land. People have no rice to cook, no salary and no water to drink. They are very sad. Husband and official often close the valley. Peace is for the people, that's enough. However, people who are thousands of miles away can't come for rice.
Therefore, the official is flat, but it can benefit the people nearby, but not the people far away. Yin Fu's home is even with the rest of his hometown, far and near salty. However, people who have no money to promote can't afford it. Therefore, the people are rich, but they can benefit the poor, not the destitute. In this way, the method of drawing relief is determined. So far, in March, I have donated more than 4000 yuan for two nights.
The rich are good at their virtues. In the meantime, more than 10 factories were opened in urban and rural areas, and tens of thousands of yuan were donated. Those who depend on the whole life of hungry people are not included. Alas, what is the purity of people's hearts and the massiness of customs?
