Washu added sand to the porridge of disaster relief, which has not really happened in history. The reason why we know about this matter is through the TV series Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan saw it.
Since it is a TV series, of course, there are elements of exaggeration and art.
In our opinion, if the porridge had been added with sand, it would certainly not have been eaten. Unless the person eating this porridge is a fool, or something is wrong.
However, in the performance of film and television dramas, why do you mix sand with yan and still get the gratitude of the victims? Are these victims indiscriminate?
In fact, the real reason is that there are fewer victims of porridge.
In this case, if you just make porridge, it can be said that most people can't eat.
Those who can eat are basically related households, all rich and powerful people, and the real people are still hungry.
However, after mixing sand, it is different.
In this way, the number of people who eat porridge will be greatly reduced, because the rich people, the rich people, and the relatives of the officials and lords will not pretend to be disaster victims to eat rice with sand.
Such a meal, for people like them who live in high society, cannot be eaten.
It can be said that the remaining people who dare to eat rice mixed with sand are really poor. For them who have not eaten for a few days at this time, don't say that there is sand, that is, throw it into the mud, they can fill their stomachs, and they will also eat.
Therefore, being able to fill the stomach is why the poor people are grateful to Hezhen.
Those rich and noble families who originally wanted to take advantage of them, because they could not eat the things that the imperial court had to do, naturally they would curse and curse. As for the civil and military officials, why do they want to scold He yan, I can only say that these people feel that he is very immoral in doing this, after all, such a meal is difficult for people to swallow.
This kind of meal is also for the victims, so it seems that it is really very immoral.
However, I have to say that no matter who is hungry to a certain extent, even if they know that they are mixed with sand, they will eat it. Because if you don't eat, you will starve to death.
Since the government has given food, don't pick and choose. Therefore, their gratitude to Washu is understandable.
