Chapter 280: Food is robbed
"Don't worry, everyone, come slowly, it's all there, it's all there!" At the gate of Yucheng Yamen, the food that was transported over began to be distributed on the second day, and now the door is crowded with people, all of them are hungry and starry, looking at food, where can they take care of anything else!
Xu Zi looked at the refugees who were coaxing, frowned, walked over and threw one of the men out of the collar with his coat, everyone looked at this, and then quieted down!
"This official knows that everyone must be hungry, if they are restless, they will continue to be hungry, and if they want to eat, come one by one!"
Hearing this, everyone gave up, the officials stopped them, and lined up one by one, and the people who ate were also quick with their hands and feet, but in a few hours, the people of the entire Yucheng City inevitably got a full meal!
"Lord Xu, your wife is really capable, just sent someone to talk to the right minister, all the food sent today was sent by the daughter of Chunnong, and it didn't use the court at all!"
Zhou Tianmiao walked towards Xu Zi with a smile, Xu Zi nodded, he knew that yesterday the eldest brother sent food over and told his daughter-in-law that he was going to have a good life with him, otherwise, this Yucheng refugee can still get a full meal, and it would be good to have a bowl of muddy water!
"This must be good, these people, although they have no place to live, they can finally eat enough, and in the future, they will be busy when the rain stops and the water recedes!" Xu Zi said and walked into the yamen, and this time he was drenched!
Zhou Tianmiao walked in with one and said. "What is said is that this daughter of Chunnong not only knows how to do business, but also has such a good life. It's really impressive! ”
Hearing this, Xu Zi smiled and didn't answer! Since the food is tight with their own daughter-in-law, the most important thing at the moment is whether these refugees can live in the land!
The rain has been falling endlessly, and it has not stopped, Xu Zi and Zhou Tianmiao are most worried that they are afraid that this Yucheng will also be flooded, if it is flooded, the refugees in this Yucheng will definitely go to the upper city. There are so many people at a time. How can it be tolerated?
In other flooded counties, after a few days of heavy rain, the water rose to half of the waist, and many people came to Yucheng. The current Yucheng is almost crowded. However, some large families left earlier. And those who don't have much money, how can they be willing to leave the place in the house!
In the name of Chen Chunhua, the daughter of Chunnong. Calling up, a few days later, the silver money received was seven or eight hundred thousand, and the hundred big business families took the lead in taking the silver money out, this one was 30,000 taels, and the 30,000 taels were not enough for the flood of crossing the river, and with the beginning of the hundred families, those big business families also rushed to send the silver money over!
And the other two families, who have always been wrong, know that the hundred families took 30,000 yuan, and the two families have more than the other, one is 50,000 taels, and the other is 80,000 taels.
Chen Chunhua didn't care about these, and the money was happily collected!
And Chen Chunhua did this one, the right minister entered the palace to face the saint, and talked about the matter with the saint, and then mentioned it in the court, and those officials also took out their pockets one after another, and after a toss, it was more than 100,000 taels!
Above the court, the officials take the monthly money, if there is too much, I am afraid that it will also be suspected, take this handle, and after a withdrawal and investigation, it will be able to find out the real cat!
More than 100,000 taels, compared to the silver money that Chen Chunhua put together, it is not worth mentioning!
Chen Chunhua has silver money but no food, this silver money is put together for the purpose of buying food, there are many bosses who do rice grain business behind them sent people to send food, send it back, but it is not much, Chen Chunhua and Baiyao discussed, and the next day those bosses who do rice and grain business called Zhaojia Village!
"Boss Chen, if you want to buy food, I won't say that the price will be raised, for the sake of the refugees who cross the river, I will also get my own trip fee!"
Chen Chunhua nodded and said. "Boss Li, I also told you the truth, this grain, bought and sent to cross the river, but I can't catch it at all, and I have to ask someone to spend money to send the grain, I know that it is not easy for everyone to do business, but you also think, if the crossing of the river has always been like this, your business can still be done well?"
The bosses present have been in business for many years, and they knew the meaning of Chen Chunhua's words, thought about it, and said. "In this case, how much I buy this grain and sell it to you, as for the trip fee, it is okay, it should be to do some good deeds and accumulate virtue!"
"Cheng, Boss Li is kind, I don't know if the other guys have something to say?" Hearing this, the others shook their heads, and Chen Chunhua smiled slightly when she saw this, and said. "If you don't want to do anything, no one complains, it's just pity those refugees!"
"What Boss Chen said is very true, I will send someone to deliver the food tomorrow!"
After saying hello to the bosses of the rice and grain business, Chen Chunhua asked Mrs. Wen to send the guests out, and then looked at Bai Yaodao. "Young Master Bai, you told me earlier that the other two major families have lowered the price of rice and grain, but the price is the same as before?"
"It's down, it's still very expensive, but the two families behind are on the bar because they came out with silver money for disaster relief, and the price of rice and grain has dropped, I'm afraid it's also for this, it's a big family doing business, and the best thing is face, with your good name on the monument, the two of them are unwilling to give in!"
"That's good, you can't intervene in this matter, they just fight each other, if the price of things is lowered as low as possible!" After Chen Chunhua finished speaking, she picked up the abacus and toggled!
"Daughter-in-law, I'm back!" The third child went to cross the river to deliver food, and it took a lot of time to go back and forth, seeing that Bai Yao was there, he nodded at him and said. "We can't go to cross the river at all, the crossing of the river is flooded, we just entered the city, and we were surrounded by many refugees blocking the way, if it wasn't for Lord Zhou and the yamen came to meet us, the food must have been robbed!"
Speaking of this, the third child was almost frightened, Shangcheng did not let the water flood, and the refugees in Shangcheng, it was full of streets, this person could not go out with things, as soon as he went out, he was surrounded by several people and robbed, the third child looked at the chaotic touch with his own eyes, and his heart was not steady!
"Which county is Xu Zi'er lying in now?" What the third child said is normal, I don't know what happened to Xu Zi!
Hearing this, the third child pulled a chair and sat down, and said. "I didn't see Xu Zi, I heard Lord Zhou say, Xu Zi is in charge of Yucheng, and this Shangcheng is in the hands of Lord Zhou!"
"Yucheng? Isn't Yucheng closer to crossing the river, but it hasn't been flooded? ”
"Yucheng is closer to crossing the river, flooded has not been flooded, Yucheng refugees than Shangcheng more, the heavy rain in the area of the river crossing does not stop, presumably it will not take a few days, the refugees of Yucheng also have to move to Shangcheng, now the Xuancheng Gate in the past Shangcheng has been guarded by the Yacha, the city gate is also closed, the refugees in Shangcheng want to go to Xuancheng that is no way!"
Hearing what Bai Yao said, Chen Chunhua frowned, if Xuancheng closed the city gate, the water in the area where the river crossed would not recede, and the rain would not stop, if it drowned, where would the refugees go?
Moreover, most of these refugees are thinking about their hometown and are reluctant to leave, but if it goes on like this, no matter how much money she makes, she can't care about these thousands of mouths!
What Chen Chunhua thinks is also what Xu Zi thinks, and the two of them want to go together!
"Big brother, why did you become like this?" Chen Chunhua saw the boss and Shunzi come in together, both of them had injuries on their faces, and the clothes they were wearing were also dirty and messy!
Shunzi helped the boss to sit down, and the sixth son took a look, and hurriedly went to the next village to invite Langzhong, and the boss only received some skin injuries, sat down and rested for a while before looking at Chen Chunhuadao. "I sent food over, and before I left Xuancheng and entered Shangcheng, I stopped a group of people on the way!"
"What? Stopped? And what about grain? Lord Zhou didn't go outside the city to pick you up? After Chen Chunhua finished speaking, she patted her head, she just wanted to let Lord Zhou stay in the city to pick up the third child, but she forgot to call him to send someone to Xuancheng to pick up the boss!
The boss wiped the blood on his face, frowned in pain, and said. "The food was robbed, we couldn't enter the city, and we couldn't do it all the way to send food, so we had to come back!"
"How's that okay?" When Bai Yao heard this, he continued. "Report to the official!"
Chen Chunhua nodded, she had to do this, if she sent more food over, maybe she really couldn't send it in, the food was robbed by the refugees outside the city, and the refugees in Shangcheng and Yucheng were hungry!
When the sixth son went to invite Xiao Langzhong to come over, Chen Chunhua called the sixth son to Shangxing County to inform the adult Zhang Liang of the matter!
After Zhang Liang learned of this, he immediately brought the people from the yamen over, the boss was injured, and the food sent over was also robbed, if the food was not sent over, I am afraid that the food sent over before would not be enough!
With Zhang Liang coming forward, it was good, and the third child didn't rest for a while, shouted everyone to load the grain into the carriage, and went to cross the river!
When he arrived in Xuancheng, Zhang Liang with more than a dozen yacha must not be enough, the boss also said that there were a lot of refugees outside the city, and more than a dozen people had to be beaten, after arriving in Xuancheng, Zhang Liang looked for the county official of Xuancheng, the boss and the people who sent the grain did not go out of Xuancheng, and so Zhang Liang and the Xuancheng county official Lord Liu led the official to Shangcheng to find Zhou Tianmiao and said that the grain was robbed!
After Zhou Tianmiao learned about this, he wrote a letter and asked his subordinates to hurry back to the capital, this matter is very serious, it will not be possible to rely on them alone, so he has to let the court send someone over!
The batch of grain that the boss originally escorted over was to be sent to Yucheng, and he went to the city from here, and the grain was robbed, and the current situation could not be sent to Yucheng, Xu Zi was also anxious, and Zhou Tianmiao sent someone to say that he knew about it!
