The locust plague has finally happened.

On Wednesday Lang galloped all the way back to the state from Panyuan early in the morning, and arrived at the gate of the Zhizhi Office, he only saw a long line of three or five hundred people, and there were more than ten teams, waiting for relief under the Guo Gate, and more than ten people were entrenched on the side of the city gate, surrounded by thirty or fifty displaced people, staring at the iron pot at the door.

It's just that no one dares to move easily.

At the head of the city, the guards bowed and unsheathed their knives, and hundreds of foot armor under the city were murderous - they all dispatched step armor?

Wednesday Lang's heart sank, he knew that this must not be a comfortable idea.

Yes, Tong Guan waited for the Son of Heaven's decree, and ordered him to sit in Jingzhao Mansion as a consolation envoy from Shaanxi Zhulu, one to give relief, two to suppress, and the third time to catch those who dared to rise up, and the law on the spot did not need to be approved by the Constitutional Division.

Where would Tong Guan take the lives of the displaced people seriously, he immediately ordered the forbidden army to go out, blocked the roads leading to the west and north, and ordered all the checkpoints to be strictly controlled, especially not to allow the displaced people to go north, which was an act of funding Western Xia.

From this point of view, Tong Guan has some ability, but it is just a symptom rather than a root cause.

"Let's go." Wednesday Lang turned his horse to beat the crowd.

Some homeless people said angrily: "Which official are you?" ”

Wednesday Lang shouted: "This official is the master of Panyuan County, and he is the chief of Weizhou Prefecture, and he specializes in the treatment of locust plagues, which official do you say?" ”

When he boarded, more than a dozen homeless people surrounded him, and some of them dared to tear Zhou Lang's mount.

The more than a dozen heroes also scolded: "Take you who eat the emperor's food and don't do anything-since you specialize in treating the locust plague, why do the locust plagues occur again?" ”

Wednesday Lang asked angrily: "Are you waiting for the people of Weizhou?" Go, take advantage of the chaos, and kill your head carefully—whose house is this? ”

It's not that he's bold, but someone led a group of people out of the city slowly.

Yao Pingkang carried a mixed iron rod, led a soldier holding an iron thistle, and a man wearing heavy armor and a horse covered with cowhides, and pressed along the road into the crowd.

The homeless people suddenly dispersed as birds and beasts, and the more than ten heroes did not dare to go further.

Yao Pingkang looked around and shouted, "Da Lang, everyone is waiting for you at the east gate, what are you doing here?" ”

Li Kou stood out from the iron pot, scooped it in the pot with an iron spoon, and said, "They don't know how to boil the paste, I'll teach you - so Tong Shuai returned to Jingzhao Mansion today?" ”

Yao Pingkang said with a smile: "It's only you who don't know, hurry up, Zhonggu is also going back to Jingshi today, everyone is waiting outside the east gate to see them off, and it's too late to teach people to be careful." ”

Li Kou wiped his hands and asked, "So Mrs. Zhe is also going back to her hometown?" ”

"No, no, only Zhong Gu will return first, and he will take Wang Xiaoyi to return to the errand." Yao Pingkang reminded, "That Wang Xiaoyi wants to see Dalang many times, if you don't go, he is afraid that he will hesitate." ”

Li Kou smiled and said, "That's polite." ”

He turned around and advised: "Uncle Tiger, give it a moment, you see those who are unruly and cut in line, there is one, fight one, and it doesn't hurt to kill." ”

Hu Dalang carried the Pu knife behind his back and said in a deep voice: "Da Lang is in charge of himself, they are from Jingzhao Mansion, and the Sprinkle family will not show mercy." ”

Li Kou was stunned for a moment, shook his head, jumped on his own dark clouds and stepped on the snow, bowed to Zhou Lang, followed Yao Pingkang out of the city gate, and went around the city to the east gate.

Someone among the homeless people wondered, "Who is this child?" Isn't it a horse lady giving relief? ”

Wednesday Lang shouted: "Presumptuous! That's our good son in Weizhou, remember, his name is Li Dalang, and you are waiting for today's food, which he gave, but don't remember the wrong person. ”

The homeless people giggled and absentmindedly threw their hands to each other, and they all shouted: "Thank you Li Dalang, we accept your love." ”

Where they are appreciative, those who really appreciate are huddled in the crowd.

After a while, the batter in the iron pot was ready, and it smelled salty, and Zhou Lang leaned over to take a look, only to see the browned batter in the pot, which didn't look very fragrant, and he said strangely: "What did Da Lang do again?" ”

Hu Dalang smiled: "Da Lang said that it is not a new method, but the noodles are fried, add a little lard, add some salt, and add some dried apples and the like, the taste is good, we have eaten a lot in the past few days, it is a good taste for disaster relief." ”

Not surprisingly, it's just fried noodles.

This is the most economical food that can quench the hunger and thirst for a while, and it is enough to settle the displaced people for the time being.

A family next to him who gave relief was the Wang family grain store.

None of the three brothers of the Wang family came, they seemed to be housekeepers, staring at the wild vegetables and wheat flour soup boiled in the pot, and they were thinking about it, but they were afraid that the food given by the Wang family would not be comparable to the food of the fighting grain.

But aren't they afraid of food shortages?

Also, what should they pay back when they owe so much wheat on credit from their own warehouse?

Seeing that the military rations sent to Pingxia City are about to arrive!

This......

If Li Kou learned about it, he would have asked him: "What does the Wang family grain store have to do with my promotion to the grain line?" ”

As long as the planter does not mention the name of the Shengdou Grain Company, and the Shengdou Grain Company is not the designated grain and grass supplier of the Western Army, why should he send grain to Pingxia City?

Even if you want to give it away, you have to spend money to buy it, commonly known as buying military rations, which is a big fat difference, and Li Kou can't give it to him now.

Li Kou galloped to the east gate, and on the way he was still thinking about when to solve the Wang family's grain store.

With the cangsi as a support, Shengdou Grain Bank can rely on this disaster relief to grasp the grain market in his hands.

The Wang Family Grain Bank has sent military rations this year, but it may not be them next year.

Then we should attack the Wang Clan's grain store first, and swallow them up before they lose their qualifications to send military rations to Pingxia City.

Only in this way can Shengdou Grain Bank obtain the qualification of military food supplier in the coming year.

Otherwise, wouldn't the grain merchants in Jingzhou and Yuanzhou have this plan?

However, there will inevitably be some competition, so it is necessary to raise the grain bank to have more capital.

Thinking like this, Li Kou found that when Yang Keshi and the others were standing outside the city gate, the gate inside the city opened, and the first team of cavalry came out, and it was Zhou Ang who took the lead.

Li Kou didn't know how Zhou Ang would report to Tong Guan after he went back, but he only knew that this person was promoted to an official and became the Marquis of Tong Guan's pro-army.

It is said that when he goes back this time, he will be able to mix at least one position as the head of the training in the forbidden army.

Perhaps, the deputy head of the capital is also an errand that can be aspired to.

Zhou Ang was holding a Xuanhua axe, and when he saw Li Kou, he nodded at him and thanked him, and quickly escorted the team to the east.

After a while, another team of honor guards came out, which was a sign of Tong Guan's imminent arrival.

The team was followed by a large cart, which was pulling a bunch of goods and headed straight for Li Kou.

It was a gift he had prepared for Tong Guan's send-off, and Miss Ma hurriedly sent someone out of the city gate.

Li Kou took a look at the felt cloth on the car, and his mood became dull again.

This last gift, it is difficult to say whether Tong Guan can meet one of his conditions.

After all, that's a very difficult thing for Tong Guan.

At this time, Zhi Yanzhi and Zhou Tong rode out together, and one person was closely followed by the two, it was Wang Xiaoyi, who had stayed in Weizhou for many days.

Wang Xiaoyi looks a lot whiter and fatter.
