"Lord Prefectural, which of us is not in it for money?" Wen Shen looked at Yang Jie with a fixed face.

"Humph! This official only hopes that Wenxian Cheng will not take care of his own fortune, but he has forgotten our major affairs. Yang Jie snorted coldly and said, "It's Lord Wen, I hope you don't forget, it was you who proposed to buy the grain from us in the name of the Yang County Government." Now we have paid for all the food, but we haven't seen a cent of the money, and it's all white slips from the government. Now that you go to the Julu Mansion to do something, you should have eyebrows now, right? When will our white slips be cashed out? ”

"Lord County Commander, you're too anxious." Wen Shen said in a good time: "Wen went to Julu, desperately went around, explained the difficulties of our Yang County to the government of Julu, and then vigorously told the county magistrate and the good deeds of the officials, and sold the rations you saved to our government as relief food to rescue the people of Yang County. It is precisely because of your support that the people of Yangshi County can now live. This is true. If you hadn't come up with food, then the entire Yangshi County would not know how many people were still starving, and every day I don't know how many people were starving to death. So, the mere fact that you are willing to give food is already a credit. ”

"Hmm...... That's right, no matter what, this official and others took out food as life-saving food, which is a great achievement. This is life-saving food, even if we have to get some remuneration back, the price of the sale to the government is indeed higher, but this should be within the acceptable range, right? So did the government above recognize what Wen County said? Did you promise to allocate money for the purchase of relief food to our Yangshi County? ”

Yang Jie's expression slowed slightly, and he nodded slightly. If Wen Shen really asked for credit for him from above, and if he could apply to the government above for the huge amount of relief food, then this Wen Shen was still good and worthy of his close trust.

"Lord Yuxian Ling!" Wen Shen bowed his hand to Yang Jie and said, "When Wen reported the situation of our Yang County to the government above. The reactions of the officials above are mixed, and they basically think that although it is desirable for our Yang County to purchase grain from the county magistrate, it is indeed an expedient measure at present, and it can be regarded as the contribution of our Yang County Official, that is, Lord Yang Jie and all the officials. But...... However, they have quite a dispute with the price of the grain that the government buys from you, and they think that such a price is so absurd that it is far higher than the ordinary market price. ”

"What?" When Yang Jie heard this, he immediately became a little excited and said, "Wen Xiancheng, have you explained the situation to the government above?" Is the price of a pound of grain very high? This is normal, in the current situation, even if you have money, there is no place to buy food, as the so-called scarce is expensive. This person is about to starve to death, in such a situation, let alone a hundred yuan a pound of food, even if it is hundreds or thousands of dollars, in order to survive, I believe that there are people who are willing to buy it. You know, life is priceless. What's more, our grain is indeed being sold at the market price of 100 yuan a catty, and on the day when Liu Xian did not give soup and food, many people would come to buy it every day. Think about it, if such a price is really so high that the people can't accept it, then how can they come to buy it? ”

Yang Jie was really a little unconvinced.

If he refused the grant because his price was too high, Yang Jie would really be angry. He looked at the problem from his standpoint, and he believed that what he had done was understandable, reasonable, and in line with the laws of the Han Dynasty. Anyway, they don't steal or rob, our own goods, how much we want to price is not up to us? We can sell our own things as much as we want, and anyway, we don't force anyone to buy their own things at such a high price.

Yang Jie believes that even if he breaks the sky, he is still reasonable.

What's more, he still has the white strip of the government in his hand, this thing in black and white, does the government on it really want to repay the debt?

Yang Jie was really angry and anxious.

"Lord Yang, please don't worry. As you said, Wen also made a detailed report to the higher authorities. Let's put it this way, the price of grain is a little higher, but these are reasonable and understandable. Therefore, the government above does not hold the opinion of opposing the allocation of relief food. After all, if they refuse to allocate it, it will also discourage the enthusiasm of the county governments below to govern the local people. Moreover, the white strips made by the government will naturally not be completely denied at once, and will not deny the reasonable legitimacy of these white strips. Wen Shen said again at this time.

"Well, it seems that there are still officials in the government above. So what to say now? ”

"Lord Yang Jie, the problem is this. After all, the amount of grain that our Yang County Government has purchased from you is not a small amount, and the total amount has reached 50 million yuan. Therefore, now the government officials on the Julu side can no longer take the initiative to allocate such a huge amount of relief food. Wen Shen said to Yang Jie: "There is another situation that I want to explain to Lord Yang. Now that Wen has arrived in Julu County, the timing is not quite right. Because whether it is Lord Huangfu Song or Julu Taishou, they are not in Julu. ”

"Oh? It makes sense that Lord Huangfu is not in Julu, after all, Lord Huangfu is in charge of Jizhou, and it is impossible to stay in Julu for a long time. But why is the giant deer too shou not in the giant deer? Yang Jie really felt a little bad at this time, listening to what Wen Shen said, it is estimated that this time Wen Shen went to Julu, and he was not sure whether his money could be transferred.

"Lord Yang doesn't know that there are still many Yellow Turban thieves in our Jizhou now, and the power of those Yellow Turban Army is also very great. Some horses and horses have hundreds of thousands. In other words, those Yellow Turban troops may organize a counterattack against the imperial court officers and soldiers at any time. Therefore, the emperor ordered the officers and soldiers of the imperial court to continue to attack the Yellow Turban Army in the northern region. At present, Lord Huangfu has already led his army to attack the Yellow Turban Army. Julu guarded Lord Guo Dian too much, and also led Julu officers and soldiers to follow Lord Huangfu on the expedition. ”

The current news is relatively closed, and Yang Jie really doesn't know about these things.

"The Yellow Turban Army still has so many military horses? They're not going to take it seriously and fight back to the giant deer, are they? Yang Jie said with some panic in his heart.

"It's hard to say, otherwise Lord Huangfu wouldn't have to be in such a hurry. Oh, by the way, I heard from the people on the Julu side, now Lord Huangfu is leading an army of officers and soldiers of the imperial court to fight Zhang Bao, the general of the Yellow Turban Army, in Quyang City. It's been a fierce battle for some time. ”

"Quyang? This...... It's not far from our Yang County? About two hundred miles to the north of us, fast horses can kill our Yang County in one day. ”

Yang Jie and other officials heard that the Yellow Turban Army was not too far away from their Yang County, and their faces changed a little.
