Chapter 3 Arrival
Within a radius of dozens of miles, a large area of land was barren, and Liu Yunxiang took Shen Yunzhou to a hillside so that he could see this scene with his own eyes.
The famine in the city is already severe, and there are no crops on the land, which will only get worse in the future. When he took office as a new official, this was the first and most difficult hurdle in front of him.
Shen Yunzhou looked heartbroken and helpless. Before he came, he had naturally learned about the situation of the wild goose returning to the city, and he had been mentally prepared, but he was still very touched when he was surrounded by those beggars and saw these wastelands.
"Lord Shen, I want to buy land to grow crops. Liu Yunxiang said bluntly.
Shen Yunzhou smiled, "Madame has good skills." ”
Liu Yunxiang was puzzled: "What do you mean by this?"
"There is a drought and little rain here, and everyone else's crops are dying, and my wife is so confident that she must have said hello to God, and there will be a few more rains. ”
"I ......"
"Madame is a big immortal?"
The corners of Liu Yunxiang's mouth twitched, why did this person speak so badly.
Liu Yunxiang took out the map for Shen Yunzhou to see, pointed to a line she had drawn, and said, "I want to dig a river channel that flows through our Yangui City." ”

Shen Yunzhou's pupils shrank for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Actually, the official also thought about it, but the official also thought about it, and didn't tell others, mainly because he was afraid of being ridiculed." The official's face is thin, not like his wife's face has been forged. ”
Liu Yunxiang: "......"
He talked like that, and no one beat him?
"There is actually an old river channel in the place I painted, and of course it takes a lot of manpower and financial resources to dig it up, but I am sure. ”
"I need people and money, is it enough for Mrs. to press the bottom of the box?"
Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Yan Dui, it's not like you don't know my relationship with him, right?"
Shen Yunzhou glanced at the river drawn on the map, then looked at the wasteland in front of him, his mind turned around, and then he sighed, and turned to look at Liu Yunxiang, his expression was a little excited, but he tried to restrain himself.
"This official is really sad on the way here, the emperor sent me, that is a high hope, if you can't do any political achievements, you will be ridiculed by your colleagues, and there is no hope for promotion in the future. Madame's time really helped the official a lot, and the official was especially moved. ”
Shen Yunzhou was so moved, Liu Yunxiang was a little uncomfortable for a while.
"That ......"
"Then we'll talk about that another day. ”
"Huh?"
"This official has just taken office, and he is not allowed to check up and down, meet left and right, and then understand the local facts. ”
"But spring planting waits for no one. ”
"Yes. Shen Yunzhou pondered for a moment, "In this way, Madame doesn't want to dig the river, then start construction first, and the others are also prepared, the official will take over the official seal first, and then immediately let the people below prepare the title deed." ”
Liu Yunxiang nodded, Shen Yunzhou gave her a reassurance, and then digging rivers, preparing grain seeds, reclaiming land, etc., in order to catch up with spring planting, we must hurry up and start preparing.
Liu Yunxiang is busy these days, and he can't take care of his intentions, so he asked a mother-in-law and a maid to take care of him.
When she got home, she first asked the beggar to go to Shuoxi, told Yan Du that she wanted to farm, and then borrowed someone from him. Although she can invite the people, the people are not as strong as the soldiers, and the execution is strong, so she thought about it before, and the manpower is half soldiers and half people.
The beggar went to Shuoxi, and Liu Yunxiang went to Zhenbeiguan to buy grain seeds.
Grain needs to be cold and drought resistant, and those from the south can't grow here, but the town is in urgent need of grain in Beiguan, and there is not so much grain left. She exchanged the grain from the south with them, one bucket can be exchanged for one and a half buckets, and the people who want to change it flocked to them, just waiting for Zhang Qi's grain to arrive.
After a few days, Zhang Qi's food continued to arrive.
Liu Yunxiang has already selected the shop, picked the guys, and the Lingyun grain shop will open on the same day. However, the grain shops do not sell grain at the moment, and after the grain is exchanged for grain seeds, the rest is for the soldiers and people who dig the river to eat.
Yan Du sent an adjutant general to lead a battalion of soldiers over, and also found a few craftsmen with experience in digging rivers to command, and the river digging was in full swing.
It's just that at this time, Liu Yunxiang suddenly realized that Shen Yunzhou's title deed was not ready.
When she came to Futai Mansion, she saw a lot of beggars outside, who were blocked here, and wanted the government to open a warehouse to release grain.
Liu Yunxiang was brought inside by a small servant, and he heard Shen Yunzhou yelling with a group of subordinates: "Where did all the grain in the granary go?
A person wearing a long shirt and a mustache, like a person in the account room, stepped forward and whispered: "My lord, our side has been in drought for many years, the grain harvest is poor, and we have been relying on the relief grain of the imperial court, how can there be surplus grain in the granary." ”
Shen Yunzhou frowned, "There are people starving to death outside every day!"
"There's no way, we're worried. ”
When Shen Yunzhou heard this, he waved his hand irritably, telling these people to leave quickly.
After those people were gone, Liu Yunxiang stepped forward.
"Lord Shen, the people here have always made a living by selling medicinal herbs and leather goods, but this season is indeed a time when there is no harvest. ”
When Shen Yunzhou saw Liu Yunxiang, he hurriedly clasped his hands into fists and saluted.
"Madame, but she's here to solve my urgent needs?"
Liu Yunxiang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "My lord forgot, I'm here to get the title deed." ”
"Oh, this matter, the official really forgot, mainly because of a bunch of things that made the official anxious, and he really didn't have time to pay attention to this matter. ”
"But spring is coming soon, and we need to reclaim the land, so we can't wait. ”
Shen Yunzhou sighed, "But this official still has to go to the neighboring states and counties to borrow grain, and if you delay for a day, many people will die outside, so it will take a month or two to borrow this circle." ”
Liu Yunxiang pursed his lips, and after a month or two, the daylily was cold.
She has invested money and people, and the seeds have been prepared, and if she can't get the land at this time, won't she lose her family and property?
Liu Yunxiang pondered for a moment and said, "Our Lingyun Grain Shop is willing to solve the urgent needs of the Lord of Futai and set up a porridge shed in the city, what do you think?"
Shen Yunzhou clapped his hands, "Great, great, Mrs. is benevolent and benevolent, and solves difficulties and helps crises, the official is really moved, very moved." ”
I was so moved, my eyes were red.
Liu Yunxiang gritted his teeth secretly, still smiling on his face, "The title deed ......"
"I'll let the book prepare the title deed, and when it's ready, I'll send someone to inform my wife to come to the palace to sign and pledge. ”
"Good. ”
Liu Yunxiang guarded against Shen Yunzhou and waited for someone to ask every day, but it was half a moon in a flash, and there was no news, Liu Yunxiang was in a hurry.
She found Qu Mo Ran and wanted her to help her find out.
Qu Moran waved his hand, "No need to probe, he is just a treacherous fox, making it clear that he uses your people and money to do his own business." As soon as the river is dug through, it is equivalent to his political achievements. A grain store was set up in the city to relieve his urgency. ”
Liu Yunxiang gritted his teeth: "He was very sincere at that time. ”
"He can act, it's a pity that this guy doesn't act. ”
Liu Yunxiang sat in the chair, she was really anxious, but to be honest, she couldn't cure Shen Yunzhou. Who doesn't have a heart, she has told the people who are digging the river these days, let them farm for her, ensure that they have food, once the land is not available, she explains the situation to those people, and the people will definitely go to the yamen to make trouble when they are excited. If she withdraws the porridge shed again, this will not be messed up.
So he pinched him, and she tugged at his tail.
"Well, you bribe him. Qu Mo said.
"Huh?"
In the eyes of outsiders, he is honest and self-denying, but in fact, he is very greedy, and he is just a fake and high-minded. ”
