Chapter 478: Disaster Relief
The lord is really wise, Liu Bei has the legacy of his ancestors! ”
In the study, Xi Zhong looked at Gongsun Du's face full of admiration. As early as when Xi Zhong took over Qiao Yanglou before, he was specially told to pay more attention to Liu Bei. At first, Xi Zhong just did it as an attitude of completing the order, but as the news about Liu Bei kept coming, he found that this person was really interesting.
But that's about it!
Yes, Xi Zhong then asked with some doubts: "Lord, although this Liu Bei looks pretty good, it's not worth paying so much attention to!" ”
Gongsun Du listened to the almost upside-down words of Xi Zhong, and said angrily: "You are like the overlord who looked down on Gaozu back then!" ”
Xi Zhong was stunned at first, and then his complexion kept changing, making Gongsun Du suspect that he was not from Yingchuan, but from Yizhou Cheng and Du.
After a long time, Xi Zhong's face suddenly became fierce, and he said: "In this case, should we take advantage of his weakness and get rid of him first to prevent future troubles?" ”
Gongsun Du was also stunned, and then pondered: he was careful not to change the fate of some people before, in order to have a prescient vision and occupy an innate advantage. It's just that now that the general trend has become a trend, if it is still like this, it will inevitably break my heart, should it be changed now?
Change, the first thing is to get rid of Liu Bei, when he died, Liu Biao in Jingzhou and Liu Yan in Yizhou did not have a few years to live, and they were also dogs of Shoucheng, but there was no need to worry, the only thing to worry about was the change of the successors of the two and the unknown.
Unchanged, Liu Bei has no Zhang Fei and no Zhao Yun, can he escape from Xinye smoothly in the end, huh......
Wrong!
Liu Bei can't escape in Xinye, it seems that after Cao Cao unified the north, that is to say, he will not be beaten and flee until I or Cao Cao unify the northern states, if you look at it this way......
"Try it first, if you can get rid of it, then send him down to reunite with Gaozu, maybe they can have a common language." Gongsun Du finally made such a decision.
Does the lord say that he may not be able to succeed?
"Yes, my lord." Xi Zhong remembered the incident of Gao Zu's near death many times, and felt that Liu Bei might have such an opportunity, after all, it was in the same vein.
In this case, it is necessary to plan and try to kill him in one fell swoop.
Gongsun Du looked at Xi Zhong's contemplation, he didn't know what he was thinking, he smiled faintly on his face, and said, "Is all the food for disaster relief in place now?" ”
Hearing this, Xi Zhong's face was solemn, and he said: "According to the request of the lord, 500,000 stone grains and grass have been sent to the cities of Jizhou. ”
Gongsun Du nodded, and planned to continue to deal with official business, and after not wanting to be entangled for a while, he asked: "Lord, is it really just to send grain and grass to various cities and pass on the order?" ”
It has been more than a month since Yuan Shao handed over the letter of surrender, and the first snow of this year seems to have been due to drought for a long time, so the transportation of grain and grass has not been hindered. However, although all the cities in Jizhou were taken and the defenders were replaced, due to the haste without so many captains and lieutenants to arrange, plus the requirements of the original Yuan Shao's subordinates, the cities were still the original guards and officials.
Gongsun Du glanced up at him and said, "Are you worried that someone will be too ruthless and cause chaos in Jizhou?" ”
Xi Zhong twisted it rarely, and he didn't say anything.
Gongsun Du didn't care, he simply put down the comparison in his hand, leaned back on the chair, and then said slowly: "Jizhou was plagued by Xianbei in the early years, but its roots are deep, the soil is fertile, and it is mostly plains, so it recovered quickly. Later, the Yellow Turban Rebellion was also because Jizhou was rich and had sufficient grain and grass, so they chose this place as their base camp. In other words, Jizhou can be regarded as the richest state among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty. ”
"With Jizhou's family background, even if it suffered a snow disaster last year and a drought this year, it stands to reason that it will not be unbearable, and there are many refugees, and we were caught off guard by the 'blitzkrieg' and took it down, but in the end it became, why?"
"It's not because although Jizhou is rich, it is those families who are rich, not ordinary people."
"That's it, in the face of disasters, these people did not take out money and food to help Yuan Shao tide over the difficulties, but instead raised the price of food below, taking the opportunity to make a black fortune. On this basis alone, in addition to them, I am afraid that all the people will praise them except for other families. Zhicai, do you think that's the case? ”
It's not that Xi Zhong doesn't know this, but when he hears it with his own ears, he still feels a little uncomfortable, as if he has returned to the time when he was hungry and cold. Xi Zhongqiang endured the feelings in his heart and nodded.
Gongsun Du didn't care whether he shook his head or nodded, just for a moment, he continued to himself: "But I didn't do it, why?" ”
"Because so-and-so doesn't want to kill them all! Just like the Zhen family, it is not that there is no good family, and those who are willing to give porridge to help the people, admittedly, the number is very small, but it is not nothing. Moreover, I believe that there are still many small families, but they are forced by the oppression of other big families and dare not be the first bird. So so-and-so decided to give them a chance, a chance to mend their ways, as long as they don't move the food used for disaster relief, they can live, but as long as they move, whether it is a stone or a hundred stones, so-and-so wants them-"
"Die!"
In the end, Gongsun Du's face was full of murderous energy, and he was full of cold sweat when he saw Xizhong. However, Xi Zhong has been convinced, that's right, the previous mistakes are the previous ones, not under the control of the Youzhou military, and they can be regarded as not being seen, but now if they dare to stretch out their hands, it is looking for death, and they must be eliminated, and they must be eliminated by iron-blooded means to deter the rest of the people, so as not to let their minds become heavier and do whatever they want.
"Yes, my lord!"
Xi Zhong replied loudly, let out another breath, and said: "This matter, the subordinates must personally watch it to ensure that no family member who reaches out will slip through the net." ”
"Good!"
Gongsun Du responded succinctly but very forcefully, and then picked up the pen and continued to deal with official business.
Xi Zhong retreated with interest, and then immediately passed the order down.
Liu Bei, who was far away in Jingzhou, didn't know that the disaster of killing was coming, and as for whether he could live, it could only depend on whether he had that life.
Xi Zhong passed on the strict order, so he no longer paid attention to this matter, after all, the whip is beyond the reach, and the focus is on disaster relief at the moment. Although Gongsun Du wanted to use this to attack some families, Xi Zhong was sure that if the disaster relief was affected by more than a certain extent, he would not be able to escape responsibility.
In this way, under the close attention of Xi Zhong, Jizhou's disaster relief was vigorously launched.
If you want to say that the charm of sweet potatoes is really strong, even if it does not have the allure of roasted sweet potatoes, but the sweet potatoes are cut into pieces and mixed with other grains to cook into porridge, the sweet and silky taste is still intoxicating!
It is precisely because of this that some families have noticed this thing and started to ......
Gongsun Du naturally couldn't put all his energy here, but he got a little joy from the news from Xi Zhong from time to time, and he still had a lot of official business the rest of the time.
On this day, Gongsun Du pushed everything, and under the protection of Dian Wei, he came to a certain courtyard in Dongcheng.
"Yuan Hao is still used to living here?" When he arrived in the courtyard, Gongsun Du didn't see anything in the slightest, so he found a stone bench and sat down, and then said to an old man in the courtyard. (Hey, Gongsun is not small, what should I do if it is swollen~~)
Tian Feng rarely didn't put on a stinky face, but replied casually: "It's not bad, there is food and clothing!" ”
"Hahaha!"
Gongsun Du laughed out loud and said, "What? Do you think it's too much to bring you here, do nothing, just hang it out? ”
Tian didn't say that. Tian Feng said very unhappily.
"If someone wants to say this, they don't believe it, even if they don't say it, at least they think so in their hearts, but if you Tian Toyoda Yuanhao says this, you believe it." Gongsun Du swore and said.
Tian Feng felt a little blushing, because although he didn't think like this, he had such a thought in his heart. Looking at it this way, he is upright by nature, and he feels a little sorry.
Gongsun Du saw these in his eyes, and snickered in his heart: Now you can't escape from the palm of a certain hand!
"What you said last time, how did you think about it?" Gongsun Du simply stopped procrastinating and asked directly.
Tian Feng didn't reply immediately, but asked seriously: "Does Lord Zhou Mu really think so?" ”
