Chapter 147: I volunteered

Linglong's work for the cabinet was very fast, and almost all the merchants along the river were semicolons, and if the prices were raised, they would face a uniform price increase, and the victims along the way would not only abandon their homes and businesses but also have to pay expensive prices to buy rations.

Judging from the content of the delivery, if a person in the area where the flood first occurred can bring more than 10 days of food rations at most, there will basically be very little left here.

If you are fleeing, I am afraid that it is not enough at all, and you need the help of people here.

Mu Qingge sat in the room at night to look at these things, and by the way, he analyzed these merchants who sold grain, if Feng Wuchen wanted to do a good job in disaster relief, he needed more than just silver, and the official bought from these merchants, I was afraid that he would die at a loss.

But these merchants have channels, and they have places and equipment to store surplus grain in such weather, and if they don't rely on them to save it, I'm afraid they can't do it.

"What is this?" Le Ren pushed open the door and walked in, saw Mu Qingge pondering the map, walked over and looked down and said, "The map of the affected provinces?" ”

Mu Qingge looked back at Leren and asked, "Leren, you said that Feng Wuchen was sent to do such a thing, how should you start doing it?" ”

"According to the usual situation, first send heavy troops to guard a few cities that are more vulnerable to the impact of the displaced people, and then supply grain and grass, and at the same time the imperial court will allocate special funds for disaster relief, but if the number of victims is huge, it will give priority to alleviating the hard-hit areas and slowly move to lighter places."

Le Ren's finger crossed the map and said: "That's roughly what it means, but according to the normal situation, the disaster relief money is distributed to the real place, and it may be less than half, and my Feng Dynasty is still an honest official." ”

Mu Qingge, who nodded yes, pointed to a few places and said: "According to the usual practice, the imperial court will definitely buy stored grain with merchants, and this grain is probably more than four or five times higher than usual. ”

"You mean it's hard to do things?"

"It will inevitably be difficult, the silver can be put in less than one percent of the place where it can be used in the end, and what kind of disaster is there to relieve, not to mention that Feng Wuchen is sent from below, and there is no foundation here."

Mu Qingge thought for a while and said, "I have an idea, maybe it can come in handy." ”

whispered a few words to the musician, and the other party's eyes lit up and immediately agreed: "It should be possible, but this requires the cooperation of wind and dust!" ”

"I'll write to him, if he's in trouble over there, we can help with it."

Mu Qingge, who wrote a letter, said: "You and I can't always stay in this Jiangcheng without leaving, you bring Xu Jiang and give him a chance to atone for his sins." ”

"Got it."

Le Ren hurriedly went out to find Xu Jiang, and when the other party walked outside Mu Qingge's house with his clothes on, he stopped and said, "Dongjia, do you have something to do with me?" ”

"Come in and say."

Opened the bed curtain and walked in, Mu Qingge sat on the chair and was writing hard, signaling him to wait, and only after writing did he say: "Xu Jiang, you owe 40,000 taels of silver to our store, I can give you a slightly more lenient deadline for repayment, don't you want to be a good person, I'll give you a chance." ”

Mu Qingge took out a list in his hand and said, "See, do this, can you do things well?" ”

Xu Jiang carefully looked at the content written on the paper, and then said with some embarrassment: "Boss, I will definitely handle this matter for you, but I don't have any money to use, and now there is no silver in the store's account." ”

"I know you don't have any money."

Mu Qingge rolled his eyes and said: "You also know that Huo Huo has such a little family background, I will talk about this matter tomorrow, the two of us will only stay in Jiangcheng for one day tomorrow, and the general number will not be able to mobilize manpower for you for the time being, and you can figure out the rest by yourself, understand?" ”

As long as the silver can be solved, the rest is very easy to handle, so Xu Jiang immediately nodded happily and agreed.

Early the next morning, Mu Qingge packed up and prepared to go out with Leren, and as soon as he walked to the courtyard, he saw a dirty woman with a chain around her neck rushing out.

When they saw Mu Qingge, they ran over shouting for help here.

Mu Qingge, who stood still, stopped the musician who was already on guard, looked at the person running in front of him and asked, "Are you?" ”

"Two adults, help, I was robbed! I don't sell myself! ”

The woman's body was already scarred, but she could see that her face was good, and the man who chased her out pounced on the woman with a thick stick in his hand, but before he could rush closer, he was cut off by Leren.

"You, who are you!"

"I'm your host."

Mu Qingge frowned and looked at the shirtless man and frowned and said, "Go back and put on your clothes and come out again!" ”

I heard that it was the owner, and the other party didn't dare to be too arrogant, so he hurriedly ran back and put on a piece of clothing and walked out, and saw that the women were all sitting there talking to Mu Qingge, so he hurriedly came over and said: "The owner, this is the daughter-in-law I bought, you can't care about this." ”

"I didn't want to care about your, but she said you robbed it, what's the matter?"

"How can this be robbed, I'm an honest person, I just want to ask for a wife to live, you ...... You see, this is what her parents drew a cast. ”

slapped the deed of sale on the table, it was indeed clearly written, the price was clearly marked and there were handprints, Mu Qingge swept his eyes and said, "Wenxiu? ”

"It's a little girl."

Mu Qingge wanted to take care of such a thing, and looked back at Leren, but she stood next to her without feeling anything and returned to her old appearance, and bumped her arm angrily.

Finally knew that looking back at her, the musician took out a silver ticket from his arms and said: "The silver to redeem her body, I will give you double, we bought this person, next time you really want to buy it back and live a good life, just find someone who is obedient and sensible, preferably if you are willing, just like this, you will not obey you if you kill her." ”

"No, boss, I ......"

"If you want it or not, if you don't want it, I don't care."

Le Ren said that he was about to take back the silver ticket, but the guy in the store hurriedly stopped him and said, "Okay, I agreed, just to see the face of the owner!" ”

"Look at my face, I and you are paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, don't you look back and say the same as me buying and selling, you are voluntary, right?" Leren looked at the guy with the silver ticket and asked.

The other party was greedy for this double money, so he immediately nodded and hurriedly said, "Yes, I volunteered." ”
