In order to gain reputation, Zhao Hanzhang personally went to the scene to distribute relief grain to everyone.
The relief grain was distributed according to the village, as the distances varied, so the arrival times of the village chiefs were different. This conveniently prevented too many people from gathering at once, allowing others to observe.
The first to receive relief grain were naturally the city residents. As soon as the grain arrived and the county government's notice was posted, the village chiefs in the city led their people to collect the relief grain.
Fu Tinghan calculated the relief grain each village was entitled to receive based on the number of households and people they reported, as well as the data recorded in the county government. Zhao Hanzhang and County Magistrate Gao counted it out together and personally handed the grain to the village chiefs.
After they returned, the village chiefs would distribute it according to households.
