Section 30 Benevolence in troubled times

On whether it was Cai Ji's cash-for-work or Lu Bu's forcible seizure. In the eyes of the world, the rich always seem to play the role of being unkind to the rich. Of course, since the family is hugely rich, it is a big business, and it is understandable to store grain for self-protection in this troubled era. It's just that under this general trend, there is a huge rich man who not only set up porridge shops to relieve the victims, but also called on rich businessmen who know each other to raise food for disaster relief. This person is Mount Tai, don't drive Mi Zhu.

Mi Zhu, the word Zizhong, is a native of Qu County, Donghai County. Xuzhou wealthy merchants, ancestors for generations to operate reclamation, with nearly 10,000 servants and diners, assets of hundreds of millions. However, in the Han Dynasty, having a net worth of hundreds of millions does not mean that a person can have a social status comparable to his net worth. On the contrary, Haoqiang like Mi, who started by business, has always been the target of the Han and Han rulers. Fortunately, Mi Zhu was in the late Han Dynasty, and he not only did not have to be afraid of being slaughtered as a fat sheep by the powerful imperial court. Even Mi Zhu was also engaged in by Tao Qian because of his reputation in Xuzhou. And the Mi clan was thus able to become a scholar clan from a merchant family.

Therefore, no matter what Tao Qian originally recommended Mi Zhu for other purposes, for Mi Zhu, Tao Qian was a great benefactor who changed the status of the Mi clan. As the so-called grace of dripping water should be reciprocated by springs. Therefore, in the face of the huge locust plague, Mi Zhu not only donated a thousand gold to Tao Qian for disaster relief, but also raised millions of stone of grain to relieve the victims of Xuzhou together with local wealthy businessmen. 1. All over Xuzhou, there is a beautiful talk about not being in a hurry, being fair, and righteous.

However, while donating money and raising food won Mi Zhu's reputation, it also attracted lobbyists for him to ask for food and borrow food. On this day, Mi Zhu was discussing disaster relief with a group of guests at home. But he heard the servant fly to report that there was a man who called himself Jian Yong outside the door and asked to see him.

"Lord, this Jian Yong is a strategist under Liu Bei. Today's visit may be a good idea. Without waiting for Mi Zhu to speak, a doorman took the lead in speaking.

Immediately followed by another doorman, he also nodded and agreed, yes, Jian Yong is good at lobbying and debating. Since Liu Bei settled in Xiaopei, Jian Yong has not followed him, but has been mixed among the gates of various families in Xuzhou all day long. It can be seen that he is Liu Bei's lobbyist. For such a person, the lord must be guarded against. โ€

In the face of the successive warnings from the doormen, Mi Zhu himself seemed very calm. In fact, as a driver in Xuzhou and the richest man in Xuzhou, how could Mi Zhu be inferior to his disciples in terms of intelligence. As far as he knew, Jian Yong's original surname was Geng, and because the people of Youzhou said Geng as Jane, he changed his surname to Jane. This person had already met Liu Bei when he was young. After the demon Dao Zhang Jiao rebelled, Liu Bei raised troops to fight against the thief. Jian Yong took the initiative to serve Liu Bei, and since then he has followed him around to act as a lobbyist for him. As for the small actions that Jian Yong has made in Xuzhou these days, Mi Zhu knows better than his doormen. But Rao is like this, Mi Zhu still asks the servant to ask Jane. โ€

With Mi Zhu's approval, the surrounding doormen did not dare to comment more. However, when Jian Yong was led into the door by the servants, Mi Zhu's doormen still cast a vigilant look at him. And Jian Yong himself simply ignored the strange gaze cast around him. I saw him take a step forward and take a deep look at Mi Zhu, Jian Yong has seen Mi Beijia. โ€

"Jian Jun, please take a seat." Mi Zhu returned the salute to Jian Yong with a smile like a spring breeze.

However, it is different from Mi Zhu's humble gentleman's demeanor. Jian Yong didn't even thank him, and directly found a place to sit down. Not only that, but he didn't sit upright, but sat cross-legged like a barbarian. Jian Yong's indecent style even aroused the disgust of the Mizhu Sect. But before they could say sarcasm, Mi Zhu, who was the master, had already taken the lead in asking Jian Jun was Liu Fujun's humerus. I don't know why I came to the humble house today? โ€

"Mi Beijia is the richest man in Xuzhou. If your house is a humble house. I'm afraid there is no mansion in this world. "Jian Yong said, just arched his hand at Mi Zhu and got straight to the point, in fact, Yong's visit today was to borrow grain from Mi Bei.

"Borrow food!"

Seeing that Jian Yong didn't even say a polite word, Mi Zhu's doorman went straight to the point and said that he wanted to borrow grain, and there was an uproar immediately. It's just that this time, Mi Zhu still raised his hand to stop the eager doorman beside him, and signaled that he wanted to fight Jian Yong in person. But I heard him ask rhetorically? Did Xiaopei also suffer from the locust plague? If this is the case, Zhu can send someone to set up a porridge factory in Xiaopei to give porridge. โ€

"There is no need for soup kitchen. Mi Bei only needs to borrow some military rations for us Liu Fujun. Jian Yong said unashamedly.

"Jian Jun did it. Zhu is only giving food to save the people now, but he didn't say that he wanted to borrow grain to work the army. Mi Zhu laughed.

But Jian Yong replied confidently. Mi Bei drove to lend grain to Liu Fujun to save the people of Xuzhou. โ€

"How so?" Mi Zhu asked noncommittally.

"There are three reasons for this." Jian Yong raised three fingers and said, one is that Liu Fujun will not collect food from Xiaopei's people if he has military rations. Is it better for the people to be able to keep a surplus than to rely on the porridge factory? Second, Liu Fujun can ensure the safety of Xuzhou if he has military rations. So that the people of Xuzhou do not have to worry about being robbed by thieves. Third, Liu Fujun's soldiers and horses are also the children of Xuzhou. Mi Beijia sent food to these soldiers, isn't it equivalent to saving the people of Xuzhou? โ€

"There are three good reasons." Mi Zhu sneered, "It is said that Liu Fujun is lenient and benevolent. But he didn't want to be a person who blackmailed the people for food. โ€

Jian Yong heard Mi Zhu say this, and immediately arched his hand to the sky, Liu Fujun is indeed the benevolent monarch of the world. But righteousness can't be turned into food after all. Although Liu Fujun didn't want to disturb the people, the soldiers under him had to eat. Therefore, Yongye can only be a real villain, and he came here to borrow food from Mi Bei on behalf of Liu Fujun. โ€

After saying that, Jian Yong turned his head and grinned at Mi Zhu. And after Mi Zhu and Jian Yong looked at each other for a long time, he suddenly stroked his palm and laughed and said that Jian Jun can speak well. When I saw it today, it really deserved its name. That's it, Liu Fujun traveled thousands of miles to help the people of Xuzhou to drive away the Cao thief. Now he is sympathetic to the people, and would rather borrow grain from Zhu than ask for grain from the people. Such a benevolent and righteous teacher should be offered military rations. And Liu Fujun will not have to return this batch of grain in the future. โ€

As soon as Jian Yong heard Mi Zhu say that he didn't need to return the grain, he immediately bowed his head and thanked Dao Yong on behalf of Liu Fujun for his farewell. โ€

"Jian Jun doesn't have to be polite. It's just a gesture. Mi Zhuyun said lightly. It was as if the 10,000 stones of grain and grass he was about to give was only a small amount. And he then invited Jian Yong to say that it was rare for Jian Jun to visit, so it was better to stay and dine today. โ€

But Jian Yong politely declined, saying thank you, Mi Don't be kind. However, Yongxian first needed to rush to Xiaopei to report the matter to Liu Fujun to calm the army's heart. โ€

"I see. Then it will be inconvenient for Zhu to stay longer. Mi Zhu nodded happily.

"It's a long time coming. If you come to Xiao Peiyong and others in the future, you will be treated with wine. Jian Yonglang hugged his fists.

Mi Zhu also returned the courtesy. Zhu Ding went to the appointment. โ€

So, Jian Yong left Mi Mansion with Mi Zhu's promise satisfied. But Mi Zhu's doorman couldn't understand this ending. Therefore, after Jian Yong left, even if some of them spoke to Mi Zhu, the lord politely refused Zang Ba and others' requests for food. Why did he agree to send food to Liu Bei today? โ€

"Why?" Mi Zhu played with the feather fan in his hand and said with a smile, because Tao Yuanjun had decided to give Xuzhou to Liu Bei. As a don't want to let the future lord ruin his reputation for such a little food and grass. โ€

As the saying goes, there are two tables, and it is said that with Mi Zhu's funding, although Liu Beijun also suffered from locust plagues and had insufficient military food, it was much better than the surrounding Cao Cao and Lu Bu forces. Therefore, when Liu Bei was overstretched, he also took out a small part of the grain to relieve the hungry people in Xiaopei. Liu Bei's move compared with the other surrounding princes' wanton expropriation of the common people, it can be described as a benevolent act of earth-shattering ghosts and gods. Therefore, although this grain was made from Mizhu, in the end, Liu Bei became a benevolent gentleman who was unanimously praised by everyone.

However, Liu Bei is not the only prince who has been rumored to be a good talk because of disaster relief this year. The story of "Donglai Xiao Cai Fujun points locusts into shrimp" is like a gust of wind from Donglai all the way to Qing, Yan, Xu and other states. The first version of this allusion from Buqi County was that Xiao Cai Fujun led his troops to exterminate locusts and kill locusts, and ate locusts in public, and the locusts tasted as beautiful as shrimp. But it is exaggerated to say that Donglai Xiao Cai Fujun moved the gods of locusts for the people, so the heavens gave him the immortal method to point the locusts into shrimp to save the people.

But in fact, after Cai Ji arrived in Buqi County, he led the army and the people to encircle and suppress locusts in a planned and step-by-step manner with Tong Hui, Tai Shici and others. In less than ten days, countless locusts were destroyed. And in the face of those locusts who were not killed and scattered for their lives. Cai Ji organized the army and civilians to chase after them until the locusts entering the country were wiped out. During this period, Cai Ji didn't have the energy to fabricate the rumor that "Donglai Xiao Cai Fujun ordered locusts into shrimp". But the imagination of the common people is so rich and simple. As long as you do something for the people, the people will promote it for you in a way.

Of course, Cai Ji didn't know it at this time, and he became the protagonist of the monster story. I don't know that some hungry people in the surrounding state capitals will silently chant a few times before eating locusts, "Xiao Cai Fujun has arrived", because these ordinary people are superstitious that Cai Ji's name can suppress the locust god and turn the terrible locusts into delicious food. Cai Ji is most concerned about the actual losses suffered by Donglai County after the locust plague.

At this moment, in the county government of Buqi County, I saw Tai Shici handing a roll of bamboo slips to Cai Jidao Xiaofujun, which was the last copy from the county. It seems that only the two counties of Changguang and Changguang have been affected by disasters this time. Speaking of which, this is all the credit of Xiaofujun. Just ask, and today, which Taishou will personally lead the troops to extinguish the locusts. Only Xiaofujun is alone. โ€

Brother Ziyi praised it. Ji is just a woman, how can one person stop the surging locust tide. Now, being able to exterminate the flying locusts in half a month is not the result of the concerted efforts of all the kings. Besides, it is not yet time to celebrate, how to help the people of Changguang and Changguang counties to resume production is our primary consideration. Cai Ji said, and pushed a bamboo slip in front of him to Tai Shici Daozi righteous brother, do you think you don't skip words when you write like this.

"Yes. Xiaofujun learns so fast. Tai Shi Ci nodded after taking a closer look at the bamboo slips.

Cai Ji saw that Tai Shici agreed to the copywriting, so he happily stamped the official seal. It turned out that since Cai Ji arrived in Buqi County, she could no longer do the business of throwing off her hands and ignoring official documents. But Cai Ji did not understand the official document format of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In order not to destroy the prestige that he had finally established in Buqi County, Cai Ji had to turn to Tai Shici, who was relatively familiar. Fortunately, Tai Shi Ci is also a person who plays Cao Shi, and under his guidance, Cai Ji has not made jokes about sending and receiving copywriting these days.

And Tai Shici looked at Cai Ji's skillful signature and seal, which was already quite a county guard, and couldn't help but ask tentatively, saying that Xiaofujun personally led his troops and horses to come to the disaster at that time. Didn't you think that the emptiness of Donglai's defense would attract the surrounding princes to attack? โ€

Cai Ji put away the bamboo slips, smiled at Tai Shi Ciyanran, and thought about it. But right now, Cao Cao is fighting with Lu Bu for Yanzhou. Yuan Shaozheng and Gongsun Zhan are competing for seclusion and two states. As for Liu Fujun in Xuzhou and Confucius in Beihai, they are all people who cherish their reputations, and it is impossible for them to fall into the well for Donglai at this juncture. Yoshimi saw that the surrounding area of Donglai was still stable, so he dared to send troops to rescue the disaster. โ€

Tai Shi Ci listened to Cai Ji's analysis and nodded thoughtfully. It must be known that the reason why Tai Shici would mention yรฌ to let the recruits come to the disaster relief was also out of similar considerations. It can also be seen from this that the woman's disaster relief in front of her is by no means out of simple woman's kindness.

However, just as Cai Ji was talking to Tai Shici, he saw Li Da suddenly break in and say Xiaofujun, no! Changguang County came to report that there were thieves who disturbed the township. โ€

"A bandit? Or the remnants of the Yellow Turban? Cai Ji hurriedly asked.

Li Da gasped and said, "Neither." It's a pirate. โ€

"Sea ...... Pirate? Cai Jileng paused and said.

Tai Shi Ci saw Cai Ji looking confused, thinking that she was a lady from the inland who had never heard of pirates, so she quickly explained that Donglai was close to the sea. Therefore, there are often thieves who cross the sea to harass the people, so people call them pirates. โ€

Cai Ji is of course a pirate. It's just that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, I was a little uncomfortable when I heard the word "pirate" at first glance. However, Cai Ji thought about it again, since Gongsun Du had the ability to cross the sea to attack Donglai. It is not surprising that pirates appear in Donglai at this moment. What's more, there have indeed been pirates in Qingzhou in history. Thinking of this, Cai Ji couldn't help but have a plan in his heart. So she hurriedly asked Li Da, are there many of these pirates? Where did you land from? โ€

"I heard from the people of Changguang County that there were hundreds of pirates. The specific situation is written on this bamboo slip. Li Dayan handed a bamboo slip to Cai Ji.

After Cai Ji took the bamboo slip and glanced at it, he realized that the so-called pirates were actually a group of water thieves who went up the river along the Fushui River to raid the village. The combat effectiveness may be better than that of mountain thieves and horse thieves, but the trouble is that the other party has a ship. Once you let it escape into the sea, you can't catch up with it even if you want to.

Sure enough, Tai Shici on the side, after reading the rescue letter from Changguang County, even if he said to Cai Ji that Xiaofujun would not hesitate, please immediately order troops to help Changguang. Our army has no warships, and if we let the pirates escape back to sea, we will be in trouble. โ€

However, Cai Ji did not immediately agree to Tai Shici. But after seeing her staring at Zhu Jian and thinking for a long time, she suddenly had a plan and said no, if the faction sends troops with great fanfare at this moment, I am afraid that before I reach Changguang, I will already scare these pirates and flee back to the sea. But Ji has an idea, maybe he can wipe out these pirates! โ€
