With frequent floods in Quanzhou and the displacement of the people, Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, and others on the one hand complained to the imperial court and Fuzhou about the emergency, and on the other hand, they organized disaster relief, opened some granaries, set up porridge and soup kitchens, provided relief to the victims, and stabilized the price of rice.

However, the Quanzhou government's move is tantamount to a drop in the bucket, not only did not relieve many victims, but even the market price of rice could not be suppressed at all, the price of rice in Quanzhou skyrocketed, the price of rice was a price for several hours, and the grain that the Quanzhou government put in to stabilize the price of rice, like mud cattle into the sea, only caused a few ripples, and then disappeared.

At the beginning of July of the first year of the Yasukuni Dynasty, the price of rice in Quanzhou soared from 60 yuan per bucket in June to 125 wen per bucket, an increase of more than double, and it is still rising.

Not only have the prices of rice skyrocketed, but also the prices of salt, oil, vinegar, wine and other foodstuffs have skyrocketed, and the people's lives have been miserable.

At this time, the Quanzhou government's grain stock will also run out, so Li Sanjian and others are anxious, and Li Sanjian also has to turn to the rich room in Quanzhou for help, wanting to borrow some money and grain to meet the current emergency.

Merely...

It's just that Li Sanjian, who was anxious according to common sense, was invited to join the Chen family, a big family in Quanzhou, at this time, and he was in a hurry to propose to borrow money and grain, and even Chen Yide and others were ready to prepare.

But at this time, after the Quanzhou military affairs of Quanzhou, the secretary of Quanzhou City, the court doctor, and Li Sanjian of the Zhilong Tuge drank a bowl of Fujian's famous tea Qingfeng marrow, he actually sat on the chair and fell asleep. . . There was also a slight snoring.

Chen Yide was stunned and couldn't laugh or cry when he saw this.

"Sister Yingluo, it's him... It's him.... In a side room on the side of the guest hall of the Chen Mansion, a little maid ran in panting and said to a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl named Yingluo.

He ?。。。 He... Which one is he? "The girl named Yingluo, two red clouds suddenly flew on the pretty face of some baby fat, and the unusually fair face on weekdays looked unusually delicate at this time, and at the same time, the blush on the face continued to expand the range, and quickly spread to the neck behind her at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yingluo lowered her head and fiddled with her own clothes with her little white hands, and asked as she fiddled.

"Sister, it's the reckless man at Luoyang Bridge that day, sister, have you forgotten?" The little maid blinked, looked at Yingluo and said, "That day, that man rode a horse and ran into you, slave... Slave ... At that time, I scolded him as a disciple... Can... Nunu didn't expect that he... He is actually the master of Zhizhou in Quanzhou. . . ”

The little maid then patted her flat chest with her little hand, and said with palpitations: "He... He's the old man of Zhizhou, but fortunately he didn't hear the slave scolding him at that time... Sister, he didn't hear it, did he? ”

"How do I know?" Yingluo suddenly remembered that Li Sanjian looked back at herself apologetically that day, and the slightly tired but torch-like eyes made Yingluo unforgettable.

Yingluo thought about the situation that day, and couldn't help but be ashamed to raise her head.

"Lian'er, he... What did he come to do at home? After half a ring, Yingluo asked the little maid named Lian'er in a low voice.

"Poof!" Lian'er couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "What is he doing, I don't know, but the master accompanies him, he... I actually fell asleep... Hee-hee... ”

Yes? Can you fall asleep? Yingluo's beautiful eyes widened when she heard this, she looked at Lian'er in a daze, and said secretly in her heart.

"Sister come here, come and see... Lian'er then took Yingluo's little hand, walked to the bead curtain and said with a smile: "Sister, come and see, it's that person, and he's still asleep." ”

"I... I don't look ... What's there to see, I'm going back to my room... Having said that, when she still secretly looked at Li Sanjian through the bead curtain, she saw Li Sanjian leaning on the soft chair, sleeping soundly.

"Hey, hey, Li Zhizhou, Li Zhizhou?" When the master and servant were whispering in the side room, Chen Yide, Chen Yingluo's father, couldn't help it, walked up to Li Sanjian, pushed Li Sanjian and said.

This man is simply ... It's simply ... Chen Yide doesn't know how to describe Li Sanjian, who is this? The governor of a state, the parent official of all the people in Quanzhou, actually went to someone else's house to fall asleep, what is going on?

"Huh? Oh... What's wrong? After Li Sanjian woke up, he suddenly felt a little blushing, and hurriedly said: "Li is too tired, rude, rude, I hope Chen Gong will forgive me!" ”

Li Sanjian said the truth, he was indeed too tired.

After Li Sanjian rushed to Quanzhou after all the hardships, he dealt with the affairs of the state government non-stop, and these days were the days of the Quanzhou floods, even eating and sleeping were racing against time, so he didn't eat a good meal, didn't sleep a night, Li Sanjian is not an iron man, how can he not be abnormally tired? Bibi eBook

At this time, the comfortable environment of Chen's house, coupled with the strong fragrant tea, coupled with a strong aroma from somewhere, made Li Sanjian finally unable to hold on, and fell asleep in Chen's house with great rudeness...

"No hindrance, no hindrance, Li Zhizhou is in charge of political affairs, concerned about the victims, and is so tired, how can the old man blame you, and how dare he blame you?" Chen Yide smiled when he heard this: "Now Li Zhizhou can talk about his intentions, right?" ”

"Thank you Gong Chen!" Li Sanjian nodded and said: "In this case, Li Mou said bluntly today, Li came to visit Chen Gong today, not for anything else, but for the people of Quanzhou, Chen Gong, you also know that my Quanzhou is raging with floods at this time, the people are displaced, and the grain in our state government will be exhausted, so Li Mou came today not for anything else, but just to borrow some money and grain from Chen's in the name of the state government, so as to meet the urgency, and after the autumn tax in the coming year, the government will return the principal and interest. Chen Gong, as far as Li knows, the ancestors of the Chen family once built a 'community warehouse', such a righteous act, praised by all the people, so what Li asked today, Chen Gong will not disagree, right? ”

As the leader of a state, Li Sanjian borrowed money and grain from the rich room, and he didn't have to come by himself at all, and he could even send a capable official or a cool official to forcibly borrow grain, and use the government to force them to come up with money and grain.

But first, Chen Yide was kind to Li Sanjian, when Li Sanjian was poor and destitute, Chen Yide squandered money with righteousness, and Li Sanjian had to be repaid for this. The second is that the means of persecution are a next resort, which will bring endless trouble to Li Sanjian, so Li Sanjian will never make such a decision unless it is absolutely necessary.

Therefore, at this time, Li Sanjian was moved by emotion and reason, and regardless of his exhaustion, he personally visited him.

"How much are you going to borrow?" For what Li Sanjian wanted, Chen Yide had actually been mentally prepared for a long time, so he looked at Li Sanjian and asked.

"100,000 yuan of money, 50,000 stone of grain, what does Gong Chen think?" Li Sanjian said after thinking about it.

Li Sanjian made a rough estimate, even if the 100,000 yuan and 50,000 stone grain were borrowed, it might not be enough to deal with the current urgency, let alone post-disaster reconstruction, not to mention that it was necessary to follow Zhao Ji's will to govern Quanzhou and Quanzhou City, and deal with Quanzhou pirates.

What doesn't cost money? What is not spending money like water?

What kind of mess is this? At this time, Li Sanjian lamented in his heart, I really don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are.

At this time, Li Sanjian looked forward to the support of the imperial court or Fujian Road, which was more urgent than ever, but at the same time, Li Sanjian also understood in his heart that the imperial court or Fujian Road could not be counted on, at least, the imperial court or Fujian Road would not support Quanzhou too much, the reason was that the imperial court dealt with the war in the northwest, and the financial dilemma of the imperial court, it was enough to be anxious, and the state capital of Fujian Road other than Quanzhou was also more or less disturbed by natural disasters such as floods. Are there any other state capitals that still worry about your affairs in Quanzhou?

Li Sanjian's urgent document has been sent out for many days, but he has not received any reply so far.

Therefore, Li Sanjian still said that it is better to ask for others than for yourself, and only yourself can be relied on.

"What? This... This... This... That's too much, right? Chen Yide was taken aback when he heard this, and stammered and asked.

Quanzhou's annual income plus the income of the city's shipping department, the money is only more than 100,000 yuan, of which more than 100,000 yuan must be paid to the imperial court, and various expenses in Quanzhou must be maintained, and about 10,000 yuan can be saved per year, which is good luck.

Before Li Sanjian became the governor of Quanzhou, Quanzhou was basically in deficit every year, and basically lived a life of tearing down the east wall and making up for the west wall.

For these situations, how could Chen Yide, who has lived in Quanzhou for a long time, not know?

At this time, Li Sanjian opened his mouth widely, and he wanted to lend so much money and grain at once, which made Chen Yide shocked.

You must know that at present, there is only about 5,000 stone of surplus grain in Quanzhou.

The Chen family is a big family in Quanzhou, but it still takes a lot of effort to raise so much money and grain, and the Chen family has to do their best to raise such a huge amount of money and grain.

And the crux of the matter is that even if Chen gritted his teeth and took out 100,000 yuan of money and 50,000 stone of grain to lend to the Quanzhou Prefecture Ya, what would Li Sanjian pay back?

If the government fails to repay its debts, wouldn't it be a big deal?

Li Sanjian looked at Chen Yide with a smile and smiled silently.

"Li Zhizhou!" Chen Yide was shocked for a long time, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said: "My Chen family has surplus food, but Li Zhizhou, you should know that such a huge amount of money is not something my Chen family can afford, even if my Chen family goes bankrupt, I can't lend so much money and grain!" Li Zhizhou, you and I are old acquaintances, and the old man won't hide it from you today, even if you Li Zhizhou makes someone copy my Chen family, even if I sell my property, I can't take it out. ”

"Bankrupt? Raiding and selling? Haha, Chen Gongyan has passed. Li Sanjian laughed when he heard this.
