Chapter 335: Grain, Grain!

"Thank you little brother for taking in Zhang, if there is a developed day, Zhang will definitely return!"

When there is no food, this person can still serve three bowls of wheat porridge for his breakfast, and he is really grateful.

Turning around, leading the horse, and leaving the small courtyard where he was accommodated last night, Zhang Liang was somewhat frustrated.

He doesn't need everyone to like him, but obviously, some people prefer a peaceful and hard life to their future wealth, such as the jujube that made tofu just now.

There must be many such people, so how can he mobilize people to fight with him?

It's snowing in the sky, and after a day of holding it yesterday, it's finally falling today.

He tucked his collar, hoping that he would not freeze to death on the road, in the spring season, that is the time for him to show his strength, before that, he must live in good health......

……

……

Sanchuan County, Xingyang.

The county guard Li You stood on his horse, looking at the snow-covered wilderness for thousands of miles, his heart was heavy, and now he thought of the locusts flying in the sky, and his scalp was numb.

The county prince Wang Zexi and the county lieutenant Qin were accompanied by him, and the two of them were also worried.

Wang Zexi said: "The coming year seems to be a good year, and the snow is so thick!" ”

Li You nodded, the coming year will be a good year, but how to spend spring? No number of people have been reported to have died of starvation, but there are many who have fallen ill from hunger. Listen to the people below, many people lie at home and can't get up, relying on a little soup cooked every day and don't even have the strength to straighten their waists, the weather is so cold, someone has to go to the family to fetch firewood, how can this day be lived?

"Jersey, it's time for the relief food we asked the court to arrive, right?"

"It's time to arrive, maybe the road is not easy to walk, delayed! But no matter how late it is, it should be on the way...... Robbery? ”

Li You said: "Then send someone to greet you, don't have an accident, at this time stability is the most important!" ”

"Okay, Jersey will arrange it!"

Qin Sui, the county lieutenant, answered: "Leave this matter to Qin Sui!" ”

After saying that, without waiting for the commander's orders, he patted his horse and left.

Li You watched him walk away, and said to Wang Zexi with a solemn face: "Today, I have to come forward to borrow food in person!" ”

Wang Zexi asked suspiciously: "Borrow?" Who to borrow? ”

Li You said: "Big households, rich households, there are those who have grain reserves!" ”

Wang Zexi hesitated for a moment and said, "Oh! ”

In special times, we can only do special things. Although these rich people are not easy to provoke.

"Bring another Sergeant 100!"

"So much?" Wang Zexi was surprised, and looking at the resolute expression on Li You's face, he understood. When there is no food, the face of the county guard may not work, only when the army goes, it will work!

……

A group of people went straight to Zhang Dahu's house. In their calculations, this Zhang Dahu has a good reputation and should be easy to deal with. Sure enough, the county guard Li You put forward the difficulties in front of him, and Zhang Dahu promised to send 100 stone wheat to the county guard yamen tomorrow, of course, the conditions are there, his family will personally supervise the distribution of grain, and he will make a name for the Zhang family.

Li You readily agreed, knowing that in addition to the need to make a name for himself, Zhang Dahu might also consider whether the food could really be distributed to the hungry villagers. At this point, Li You also thought of it, the person who handled this matter must find a trustworthy person, and if there is another problem of greed during the special period, it will be chaos on top of chaos.

Then there was Li Dahu. This family took a lot of twists and turns, and Li Xiankun, who was in charge of the Li family, always mentioned the promotion of his eldest son, saying that he had been working hard for several years without seeing any movement, and it was better to come back to help him take care of the affairs of Zhuangzi, until Li You said that he asked the county supervisor to carefully examine his son's performance, and he agreed to borrow a hundred stones of wheat.

Qi Dahu is difficult, Li You, the county guard, personally came to the door, and he has already given them enough face, and the kind words are naturally said by Wang Zexi, but the kind words are all over, and the surname Qi still smiles and does not implement it. Li You's face darkened impatiently, so he gave Wang Zexi a look.

Wang Zexi said with a worried face: "County guard, since the Qi family has so many difficulties, why don't we go!" ”

Li You let out an expressionless "um".

Wang Zexi added: "However, it is the responsibility of our government to maintain law and order. At this time, everyone has no food, and those who have food are afraid that those who have no food will come to rob them, the county guard, or we will leave some brothers to help the Qi family guard the door, and it will save the trouble of dealing with the incident! ”

Li You said: "This method is feasible! ”

The surname Qi's face changed suddenly.

Wang Zexi turned his head and said to the surnamed Qi: "Then, please ask your mansion to arrange the food of the brothers and the subordinates, after all, they are also for your mansion!" ”

The surname Qi seems to have a big steamed bun in his mouth.

"County guard, let's leave all the 100 brothers here, go back to Jersey and take a look, if it's not enough, mobilize another 200 people!"

"What Jersey says is absolutely true!" Li You nodded in approval, and didn't even look at the surnamed Qi.

The surnamed Qi almost knelt on the ground with a "coo-dong", and now, he didn't have anything to say.

"Envoy, the Qi family can only take out eighty stones of surplus grain, this is already the limit!"

Li You didn't answer, but looked at Wang Zexi.

Wang Zexi said: "Oh, eighty stones, eighty stones is enough for a hundred brothers to eat for a few days, and this is not a few days, when the grain is harvested next year, how can we not let the Qi family be robbed!" ”

"Then ......, then Qi Mou will think of a way, and then think of a way......" At this moment, he felt that his whole body was full of knives cutting meat, it hurt, it hurts!

Why, my tooth hurts too?

Li You got up and left a sentence coolly: "Jersey, leave fifty people for the Qi family first, guard them well, don't have an accident!" ”

After saying that, he took his sword, turned around and left.

Wang Zexi glanced at the surnamed Qi sympathetically and followed quickly. came out and got on the horse, but he couldn't suppress the thief's laughter.

Li Youleng snorted and gave him a blank look. At the beginning of the matter, where did it go?

"Jersey, I can't wait for them to come to deliver food tomorrow, and I don't know what has changed after one night. When we go back, we will arrange people and let our people come to the door early tomorrow morning to pick up the food! If you delay, let people wait at their house, and eat after the meal is served!"

"Okay, never give them a chance to change!"

"In the past few days, we are urging food, waiting for food, borrowing food, and the most important thing is to maintain stability, and we must not have an accident at this time!"

"Yes!"

The basic plan was decided, and a group of people returned to the yamen in a hula-la.

By the time everything was put into place, it was already dark. Only then did the crowd realize that the meal had not yet been eaten.

Wang Zexi and the others were about to disperse, but Li You still spoke in good spirits: "Everyone, we really can't do it, we have to send a group of people out." Or, it's better to go early than late! ”

Wang Zexi rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "Envoy, are you talking about the real matter of immigration?" ”

Li You nodded and said, "Well, it's really about immigration, originally our task of immigrating from Sanchuan County has been completed, but now in this situation, it is better to move out a little more." Anyway, there is a lot of land waiting to be developed in the three northern counties, and now if you move it over, you can cultivate it in the spring. And the pressure on our side will be lessened, so that there will not be so many starving people dying in the spring! ”

Everyone looked at each other, and this was indeed a way out.

Sanchuan County has good natural conditions, land development and farming technology are very mature, and many people were not very happy when the last batch of labor force was removed, but now it seems that it is best to get rid of some people.

Wang Zexi asked: "So, how to solve the problem of food for immigrants on the road?" I'm afraid we won't be able to bring that many! ”

Li You said: "Take some of it, and then go along the road to raise money, it's really not good, the sergeants take it to eat big households, at this time, care about him so much, just don't die!" ”

Everyone was silent, it seemed that this was the only way to do it!

If there is no disaster elsewhere, the situation will always be better. Let's borrow it in the name of the Sanchuan County Yamen first, when will I pay it back, hum, let's talk about it! (To be continued.) )
