"Lord Gunjo, please save us, we haven't eaten in days......"

"My dad is dying, please ask the county guard to save us quickly......"

When the victims saw that the county keeper and the son of the Xuanjia army came out hand in hand, the commotion immediately stopped. Although the victims of the disaster did not know it, but they fled all the way to the famine, which city did not close the gates, and avoided the disaster victims like a plague, the county guard opened the city gate and walked out of the city in person, or the first time he saw it, he suddenly knew that there was hope for food!

But there is hope and hope, and hope cannot be eaten as food, but only when food is eaten, so they pleaded with the county keeper, and some even knelt down in a row in the direction of the county keeper, expecting to eat food immediately.

But I saw that the county guard and the son in the Xuanjia army walked up to a mound together, and the son took two steps forward, raised his hands upward, raised his palms flat, and then pressed down gently, signaling everyone to be restless.

The way of speech and expression, perhaps each era has its own differences, and each region has its own differences, but the body language is much the same.

The victims saw that there were sacks of grain transported out of the city gate, and they knew that there was about eighty or ninety percent of them hoping to eat food, so they were naturally very grateful to this son, but when they saw that the son made a move, they quickly responded to the meaning of the child, stopped talking, and some of them couldn't control it all of a sudden, and they were also reminded by the people next to them to press down.

The victims quickly quieted down, Zhong Yebai put on an extremely excited expression, and said to the victims, "Fellow villagers, you have suffered, seeing that you fellow villagers fled from Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and suffered all kinds of hardships on the way, it is really difficult to sleep and eat, no, the county guard has personally visited everyone!"

After saying that, his figure moved to the side, and motioned to Shen Qian and Shen Junshou to step forward and say a few words.

In normal times, where would Shen Qian have the courage to show off his official authority in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, but since it was arranged in advance by His Royal Highness the Prince, he also had the courage to walk in front of His Royal Highness.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this official is entrusted by my distant nephew, and I have come to solve your urgent needs! As long as you all obey the arrangements of this official, this official will naturally not let you starve to death!"

Shen Qian deliberately put on his official authority, and his speech was also gentle, just like an officialdom.

Although the victims didn't understand it very well, the meaning of the county guard was also eight or nine points, and the few victims in front of them hurriedly patted their chests and replied, "As long as there is food, we will listen to what the county guard says!"

"We will do whatever the county keeper wants us to do, as long as we have something to eat. ”

What's more, he directly shouted the slogan "Shen Qingtian", which was filled with a strong smell of sycophants.

It seems that the technical work of sycophants is not only unique to officialdom.

The requirements of the victims are indeed very low, as long as there is something to eat, this requirement is much higher than Shen Qian's expectations, now that the public opinion has been reversed, Shen Qian lifted the loose belt around his waist, and then said to the victims, "Everyone, this is what you said, I didn't force you." As I said in advance, today's meal is the only one I invite everyone to eat. If you want to eat the next meal, you have to work!"

"It's easy to work, we're all croppers, we can do any rough work, as long as we have something to eat. The victims in the front row patted their chests and reassured.

Shen Qian was obviously very satisfied with this answer, and at the same time, he was full of admiration for His Royal Highness the Prince, everything was unexpectedly expected by His Royal Highness.

"Everyone knows that your hometown of Yanzhou and Yuzhou is seriously flooded, and the imperial court is sympathetic to the people's feelings, and wants to recruit strong men to deal with the floods.

"Thank you, Lord Commander, we can do this kind of thing to deal with floods, and besides, we are going back to our hometown to deal with floods!"

As soon as Shen Qian finished speaking, a large number of victims rushed to the simple shed on the left, scrambling to register and make a record.

Others, grimacing, remained in place, as if they had been greatly struck.

"Lord County Guard, we dragged our families to bring our mouths, the old ones and the young ones, it's really not good to drag our families back with our mouths, and besides, my family members really can't do the work of controlling the floods, so please have pity on us!"

"Lord County Guard, I am seriously ill, if I go back to deal with the flood, what can I do with Lord Cheap?

Complaints are once again spreading among the victims.

According to the arrangement of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, Shen Qian did not express his position immediately, and came out with a look of embarrassment.

At this moment, several very incongruous voices appeared.

Several ragged victims had a disdainful expression on their faces, and fanned the flames among the victims, "I'll just say, that military boy and this county guard are not good people at all, and if they tricked us back, let us serve as coolies for them." ”

A few others chimed in on the side, "That's it, these dignitaries and dignitaries are all unprofitable and can't afford to be early, where will they treat us as human beings, and that son's subordinates will use halberds to kill our victims!"

"Yes, yes, they don't treat us as human beings, they just treat us as coolies!"

......

Everything was as His Royal Highness the Prince of the World expected, seeing that the disappointment of the remaining victims was about to spread, Shen Qian immediately seized the opportunity to explain to the remaining victims according to His Royal Highness the Prince's arrangement.

"I know all of your difficulties, and it is really difficult to deal with floods by dragging your family and mouth. Just now my distant nephew and I have prepared some IOUs in advance, considering lending you food, just now I was still thinking about whether you will accept it, or I will say first, if you agree, go to the shed on the right to sign the agreement, if you don't agree, you will go directly to the porridge shed to drink porridge, but I can only manage you for one meal, I can't manage more!"

Hearing what the county keeper said, the victims of the disaster rekindled their hopes.

"Lord Gunjo, please speak, we agree!"

When Shen Qian heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, he hadn't said how to borrow food, but these victims actually said that they agreed, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World was really a clever plan.

Shen Qian straightened his face and said seriously, "Although my Chen County is small, considering that you have dragged your family here, no matter how difficult it is for this county to guard, I will definitely find a place for you to live." Since there is a place to live, it is necessary to cultivate fertile land, which is a long-term solution, otherwise, even if the court has more grain, it is not a long-term solution. ”

"But you have no food, you can't live, you don't have seeds, you can't grow food, so the county guard decided to borrow grain and seeds from the clans in the city in the name of the imperial court, and then lend it to you in the name of the imperial court, and you will reclaim the fertile land in my Chen County, settle down, and wait for you to grow grain, and then return it to the imperial court, and the imperial court will return it to the family. ”

"But since we are borrowing grain and seeds, we have to say the conditions in advance, and you must also believe that this county guard will not be able to do that trick and deceive you, let alone take advantage of you!"

When the victims heard this, they were already a little impatient.

While the county guard was talking to the victims, the people in the city had quickly set up a row of suggested porridge sheds, set up stoves, and put iron pots, and after a while, the fragrance of rice porridge filled the entire square outside the city gate.

The victims were already hungry, and when they smelled the fragrance of rice porridge, they were even more anxious that the county guard hurriedly finished speaking, so they hurried to sign the IOU agreement, and then went to drink porridge.

Some of the victims even said eagerly, "The county keeper is kind-hearted, and it is already a great kindness to be able to stutter, and we will sign any IOU agreement directly." ”

Shen Junshou waved his hand, smiled and shook his head, "It's better to make it clear!"

"Borrow grain this year, repay the grain next autumn, borrow as much as you want; borrow seeds this year, plant in the autumn three years later, borrow 10 and repay 12; however, it is stated in advance that if you want to settle down in my Chen County, you must be naturalized in my Chen County, and pay taxes to my Chen County, rest assured, the tax in my Chen County is not high, 15 taxes and 1, read that you have come due to the disaster, the taxes of the first three years can be recorded first, and after three years, they will be paid to the imperial court. ”

The victims wept with joy, thanking Shen Qingtian for his great kindness, and after kowtowing, they rushed to the shed on the right to register and sign IOUs and agreements.
