"You, what do you mean?"

Startled by the cruelty on Yuan Shangyi's face, Qian Laoben asked tremblingly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"What do you mean? Remember, you must invite them to the palace for a banquet in these two days, and when the time comes, it will be time to send them on their way. ”

Seeing that Qian Laoben's frightened face turned pale, Yuan Shangyi looked at him with disdain.

"You're scared now, it's too late! Between us and them, it has long been to the point of non-death. Now that they have settled the victims for the time being, then they will pull back their hands to investigate us, time is pressing, there are many dreams at night, you think about it yourself. ”

"But, but, if the eldest prince dies in my mansion, then how can I get out?"

Being stared at by Yuan Shangyi's yin owl eyes, a cold sweat broke out, and Qian Laoben hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his face.

"What is there to worry about, when the time comes, just find a scapegoat, just say that there are mobs rebelling and assassinating the prince, or that there are victims who are dissatisfied with the amount of food, so they assassinate the eldest prince, isn't it?"

Straightening up, Yuan Shangyi picked up the teacup while looking at Qian Laoben and sneering.

"Yes, Brother Yuan is right, that's it, that's it!"

Bared his teeth, Qian Laoben showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, at this time he was really a little bit roasted by the fire, and he always felt faintly that he seemed to be unlucky.

Hanging his head and drinking tea, Yuan Shangyi's eyes were full of fierce brilliance. From this moment on, Qian Laoben is completely equivalent to a dead man in his heart.

What he has to do now is to appease Qian Laoben, and then let him come forward as a substitute for the dead ghost and plot to kill Situ Jingtian's life.

"It seems that I need to send a message to Lord Guozhang and the second prince."

The night passed, and when the sun rose, the entire Jiangzhou Mansion was full of vitality and vitality that had been rare for several months.

It turned out that early this morning, someone found a notice posted next to the gate of the post station.

"Because Jiangzhou Mansion suffered a century-old flood, the first serious one. From now on, people will be called up to repair dikes and roads, and clean up garbage and animal carcasses caused by the floods to prevent the outbreak of the plague.

Anyone who is willing to be a folk husband can come to the post station to sign up, and the reward is, oh, two catties of chestnut rice per person per day. ”

A middle-aged man who could read could read the words while several floors of people behind him listened.

"Hey, each person has two catties of chestnut rice every day, saving some food, enough for a family's ration for a day."

A younger man said, with a smile on his face.

"Yes, after receiving the grain yesterday, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to eat more than 20 catties of chestnut rice for a few days, but now it's okay, it turns out that the imperial court wants to use grain as wages and call on everyone to rebuild their homes!"

A thin black man about forty years old clapped his hands and said happily.

This catastrophe, so that his family is left with him and his wife, and a little grandson who is less than ten years old, yesterday according to the head of the food, the children's food halved, the three of them received a total of nearly twenty-five pounds of food, this last night and this morning ate some, there are less than twenty-three catties left, no wonder he is worried.

The news that they could work and earn food spread all at once, and all the victims were excited. When it comes to the grain distributed free of charge, they will also worry that the imperial court will not distribute it again, or it will become moldy grain again.

However, it is natural for them to work to earn food, and they are more convinced of this practice of exchanging labor for food, which makes them feel at ease.

So much so, when the gate of the post station was opened, the outside was already full of people, unlike yesterday's saber rattling, at this time the victims were all in high spirits to sign up as people's husbands.

Soon, more than 3,000 people signed up, after all, there were still a small number of people who came to receive rice yesterday, and most of them did not get the news, so they did not receive chestnut rice. At this time, knowing the good news, almost all the active adults except the elderly, women, and children came.

Many of these people are hungry and crumbling, such people can't do anything if they want to work, they can't, Situ Sedum had to arrange manpower, and the people who signed up but didn't receive food yesterday were given two catties of food each, so that they could eat two full meals first and recover their bodies.

Most of the day has passed, and the post station has also released a message that it will start working tomorrow morning, starting with a simple cleanup of garbage and debris, then the city will be desilted, and finally the embankment and people's houses will be repaired.

It's the end of summer now, so it's better to clean up the fields and plant the poor grain in time, although the harvest may be less, but it's much better than no harvest and no grain to eat in winter.

"The eldest prince, our tens of thousands of catties of grain are not enough, do you think we have to let the DPRK allocate another batch of grain? This amount of food is a drop in the bucket now, and we still have so many sergeants here who need to eat. ”

Looking at the book that recorded the data of these two distributions, Li Yushi couldn't help but sigh.

"Well, I'll send a message back later, so that they can prepare more food and grass. Also, the batch of grain and grass that was swallowed by Yuan Shangyi must also be recovered, when the matter was big, every move here has attracted much attention. Therefore, I think that this batch of grain and grass Yuan Shangyi must not have been transferred out, and it must be within the boundaries of Jiangzhou Mansion. ”

Taking a look at the record book in Li Yushi's hand, Situ Jingtian nodded and said.

"This must be recovered, their batch of food is more than ours, at that time, for disaster relief, it was enough food to deal with the disaster at once, that is enough food for tens of thousands of stones!

By the way, there is also the treasury of the Jiangzhou Mansion, how can there be no food in the treasury of a state, even if it is to be supplied to the officials and the army, it is enough to deal with the disaster temporarily, how can it be said to them, there is almost no food in the treasury, where is the grain! ”

After listening to Situ Jingtian's conversation with Li Yushi, Liu Suifeng also said busily.

No matter what others think, he didn't believe that Qian Lao would have run out of food anyway. If the treasury is empty, it will be a dereliction of duty on the part of the local officials, which is a big crime.

"Hehe, you know this kind of thing, and we know it, but it's not so easy to get them to spit out what they swallowed again. It seems that I really need to deal with them a little bit lately. ”

Fu Xu sneered, Li Yushi understood that it was time for him to play. (To be continued.) )
