If there is no price of grain shops to compare, Fan Yu's sale of grain will definitely be criticized.

But there is such a black heart price of two hundred wen per catty in front, and the price of Fan Yu's stone is particularly rare.

Although there were still one or two hungry people who were unwilling, the vast majority of them had stopped thinking about making trouble and could not make trouble.

"Yes, can, cheaper......" an old man asked hesitantly.

Mr. Zhang was immediately furious, pointed at the other party and shouted, "What are you thinking? These grains are the food rations of the Lord's family, and they will be sold to you because of your pity, so you don't have to get an inch. Didn't you listen to what the old lady of the main family said, the shopkeeper of the grain shop always bought half a stone, but he didn't sell him. How dare you ask my son-in-law to be cheaper? Where is the conscience! ”

Fan Yu patted Zhang's shoulder, asked him to dissipate his anger first, and turned to these hungry people and said, "You don't have to rush to buy food, I'll tell you one thing first." Today, I saw that there were more and more people fleeing from Chenzhou in Caoqiao Town, so I went to Xihua County to see the lord of the king, Lord Bo Wang. ”

He paused for a moment, and saw that these hundreds of people were pricking up their ears to listen, and then he said: "In the county government, a way to let the big guys survive was discussed, and the county magistrate has agreed." Tomorrow, the king will bring people to bring grain over. He would ask everyone to repair the river embankment and dig the canal, and if they worked for a day, they would have a day's rations. In this way, the big guys will be able to earn food rations and survive in this bad year. ”

"It's not that I don't want to sell grain to everyone, if anyone still doesn't believe me, they can buy grain now, and it is still the same price of one stone, and there will never be a lot of one or two grains for you." Fan Yu said again.

At this moment, the hundreds of hungry people also became hesitant.

Fan Xiaogongzi made it clear to his face that tomorrow the government would send people to bring food and recruit people to build river embankments and canals. When the time comes, there will naturally be food to eat, and you will be able to live for a long time.

But if Fan Xiaogongzi was telling a lie, wouldn't it make everyone wait for a day in vain. With this day, it is not impossible for Fan Xiaogongzi to secretly transport the food away from home.

However, the consistent price of one stone is still quite attractive. Everyone fled the famine, and they had a few big bucks in their arms, just because they were afraid that in case of the last fatal moment, they would use it to buy stuttering food and prolong their lives. At this time, it is the same to make up and buy a cent of food.

Immediately, someone took the copper coin hidden on his body and made up the money with others.

Fan Yu looked at the scene in the field, and whispered to Zhang Laohan and Chen Laohan: "You put up a scale outside the courtyard gate, sell one stone, and then go to the granary inside to move out a stone, we will never lack two catties." Just remember that the grain in the granary is sold for half at most. ”

"Rest assured, the Lord family, we know the importance of the matter, this kind of thing is not child's play. That is, the master is too easy to talk, and he sells it to them at a flat price without making a lot of money, otherwise these guys will eat fart. Zhang Laohan said angrily.

Chen Laohan also sighed: "This is also forced, half natural disasters, half man-made disasters." If it weren't for Uncle Pang, how could Chen Zhou be like this. Rest assured, we won't let you suffer. ”

After instructing these two old men, Fan Yu turned around to see his stepmother, Granny Li.

Granny Li had been listening to Fan Yu before she had a chance to speak.

"Yu'er is really not simple, you were born in Caoqiao Town, but you can tell the arrangements just now, it's really condescending." Stepmother Li was proud and a little unhappy.

Fan Yu held his stepmother's hand and said, "Mother, you don't need to praise me, I am your son, I always praise me, doesn't it seem eccentric." ”

Granny Li laughed at what Fan Yu said, "How can a mother not be partial to her own children?" What's more, my son is polite, courteous, and very disciplined. Although it is in danger, it is not chaotic, and it is even more rare to be at a young age, which is really difficult for my son. ”

"Mother, don't boast again, otherwise I won't know the southeast and northwest." The stepmother praised herself endlessly, and Fan Yu hurriedly diverted the topic and said: "Mother, the child has gone out a lot, and now he is hungry." ”

The stepmother pulled Fan Yu and said, "My mother knows that my mother has left you a meal and will wait for you to come back." ”

The mother and son went in, but in front of Fan Yu's house, the two families of Zhang Laohan and Chen Laohan were not idle.

Although there are hundreds of hungry people, there are not many who can really scrape together money to buy food, and many more are waiting for the arrangements of Xihua County tomorrow. In less than an hour, no one mentioned the purchase of food. As soon as the two old men settled the accounts, the grain was no more and no less, and it was sold for exactly twenty stones.

When I entered the courtyard, I found Fan Yu and handed over the money and accounts.

Fan Yu reconciled the accounts, and said to the two families: "Everyone has worked hard, go back and rest early." What I have said today about repairing the embankment and digging the canal is true. One pound of food a day for one worker, the same as here for me. If any of you want to go, I can talk to the king. ”

Now that the hungry people have already made arrangements, it is unnecessary for Fan Yu for Fan Yu to take them in and repair their houses. This Caoqiao town should leave soon, and he won't live long after repairing the house. It is better to dismiss these two families, and it will be quieter.

But Zhang Laohan and Chen Laohan seemed to be mistaken, and both of them were shocked.

"Lord, you can't do without us. You have been so kind to our two families that if you don't repay the Lord's family, your conscience will not be able to pass after all! The two of them just shook their heads and said they wouldn't leave.

Fan Yu smiled bitterly, this is good, it has become a plaster that cannot be shaken off.

However, after thinking about it, it's not that I can't afford to raise it, and it's just some food on my side. Some people can do more with their hands, but it is not necessarily a burden.

Patting his head, Fan Yu said: "I'm just asking the opinions of the two families, since that's the case, then just live and do things with peace of mind." ”

Suddenly remembered something, so he called Zhang Laohan to stop, "I will write a letter here, and ask Zhang Laozhang to send someone to Chenzhou, and hand it over to Lord Qincha, a son named Zhanzhao." ”

Zhang Laohan secretly smacked his tongue, I am obedient, the main family looks young, and the people who come and go here have a lot of backgrounds! It's Bo Zhi County, the lord of Xihua County, and the son next to Lord Qincha, it's really amazing!

Fan Yu didn't notice that Zhang Laohan became more respectful, but took pen and ink to write letters.

It is not difficult to pick up a pen and write, but writing with a brush makes Fan Yu frown. I have practiced calligraphy, but I am not used to it, and it is very ugly to write down a line of words. But Zhang Laohan didn't know how to read and tried his best to pat the horse, and couldn't stop praising Fan Yu for his good writing.

Fortunately, after tearing up a few pieces of paper, Fan Yu's writing was barely readable, so he handed the letter to Zhang Laohan after writing.

Early the next morning, Zhang Laohan asked his son Zhang Tiansheng to go back to Chenzhou to deliver a letter.

Caoqiao Town is not too far from Chenzhou, and in the evening, Zhanzhao, who was listening to Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce discussing things, received a letter from Fan Yu.

A line of ugly fonts caught the eye, and Zhanzhao frowned, but when he saw the six words 'Brother Zhanzhao personally opened' written on it, he couldn't help laughing.
