The chief of Hedong, Yang Wu and Duyou Tongjing and others are all the confidants of Shentu Gong, and Shen Tu Gong is not shy about it, even if he said: "The angel who was called by the Son of Heaven to inspect Hedong this time is the court lieutenant Zhidu of the court, and you should know who this is!" ”。

The fierce name of Zhidu, no one knows the officials of the Han family, that is the most loyal eagle dog of the Son of Heaven Liu Qi, if he is targeted, there will be no good fruit to eat.

"Yang Wu, how did I send you to do before leaving?"

Hearing this, Yang Wu saluted and said: "Returning to the envoy, all the rich families who have stored more than 5,000 stone of grain in the house in the city of Anyi have been beheaded, and the people of their clan have been imprisoned in the county.

"This is very good, although Zhidu is called a goshawk, but the grain in the treasury of my Hedong Mansion is not missing, and then it will have nothing to say."

After finishing his words, he said: "How are the preparations for the disaster relief in Hedong? ”。

"The lower officials have obeyed the order of the envoy to distribute 80,000 stones of grain from the humidity warehouse to the counties in Hedong, and ordered the county order to use this to relieve the disaster."

Since the incident in Hedong was reported to the Son of Heaven Liu Qi, the Son of Heaven Liu Qi was furious, but it seemed a little inappropriate to kill the Taishou of a county just because he did not provide timely disaster relief.

In this way, at the same time as Lingzhi Du held the festival to Hedong, he also sent a messenger to Hedong with the edict of the Son of Heaven to order Shentu Gong to immediately open a warehouse to help the people affected by the disaster in Hedong.

At this time, the Son of Heaven knew about the drought in Hedong, and Liu Rong and Zhi were here, and Shen Tugong also knew, so the Son of Heaven was disgusted with himself.

Thinking that the new concubine had just given birth to another son for herself last year, Shen Tugong secretly sighed: I can't die! However, this rank is more than two thousand stones, and it can't be done, and you can also bring this wealth back to your hometown to be a rich man, wouldn't it be beautiful?

In this way, where would anyone dare to have other minds to play with other minds.

Even if the order is issued, it is strictly ordered that as soon as the county commanders in the counties east of the river receive the grain sent by the county government, they will immediately distribute it to the people to provide relief to the victims.

And Zhidu led his master father to the land of the root warehouse and the wet warehouse in the east of the river, and saw Yang Wu, the long history sent by Shentu Gong to wait in advance.

Shen Tu Gong is extremely cautious in doing things now, and he sent Yang Wu to look at it on the surface, but in fact, it was to keep an eye on Zhidu's every move.

Changshi was responsible for managing the collection of taxes and grain in the county, and a granary set up by the imperial court like Hedong was also supervised by Changshi on a daily basis............

Counting the millions of stone grains in the two granaries, this matter has made Zhi Du and the master father anxious.

There is a saying that there is a specialization in the art industry, but not everyone can be as good at calculation as Zhang Cang, and he can also win a reputation for calculation......

Zhi Du once learned from the Legalists, was good at criminal law, and let him try cases and arrest people, but calculating and storing food was not what he was good at.

And the same is true of the master's father, who first learns both vertical and horizontal and Confucianism, and may succeed in letting him come up with a strategy, where is the person who will do this......

But these two people, one was ordered by the Son of Heaven to go to Hedong to find out the affairs of Hedong, and the other was ordered by Liu Rong, the eldest son of the benefactor emperor who promoted him all the way.

How could the two of them not work hard in this way, and they plunged into the two official warehouses of the root warehouse and the wet warehouse to check the amount of grain stored.

It took nearly five days for the two of them to check the grain stored in Hedong, but the result was that the number of grain stored in the two granaries was only a few thousand stones, which made Zhidu and the master father both dumbfounded.

Ran Zhi has been a court lieutenant for several years, and he is still a little mentally prepared to deal with these things, but the master father Yan is really blindfolded............

As early as on the way to Hedong with Liu Rong, the master father Yan had heard that there were powerful people in Hedong who bought and sold the grain of the granary, and thought that a check on the granary in Hedong would definitely find a huge deficit, and then this Shentu Gong would inevitably be involved. But I don't want to be busy for a few days, but the bamboo basket is empty.

However, after returning to the place where he lived at night, the master father drank alcohol alone, and thought that he could make a contribution to His Highness this time, but now there is nothing.

Just as he was drinking alone, he heard a noise outside the room............

At this moment, the master father was so confused that he opened the door and scolded: "What are you doing!? ”。

At this time, someone approached the master's father and said: "Shangguan, there is a person who faints from hunger outside the gate of the house, and we are discussing whether to save this person."

Hearing that this person fainted outside the mansion at this time, the master father Yan naturally frowned, but he clearly saw that Shi Yangwu, the head of Hedong, had transported the grain in the root warehouse to various counties.

And this time, the people who are struggling to survive can get nearly dozens of stones of corn for daily use and sowing in the next year.

In this way, how can anyone faint from hunger outside the house, could it be that Zhou Yang is from Yang and Yang is against Yin? The food that will be distributed to the people for disaster relief is all greedy for ink.

So he didn't care about this at all, his face was full of drunkenness, and when he thought of this, he cleared his throat and said: "Since he fainted here, how can he not save it!"

Put it into the side of the ear room, and find a doctor to treat it. When he wakes up, he will report it to me immediately."

"No!" , the squire arched his hand.

However, the master father was not good at drinking, so he drank for most of the night, and when he woke up the next day, it was already dawn, and he still had a headache......

Rubbing his head with one hand, the master father said to himself: "Drinking is wrong, drinking is wrong."

Hearing that the master had woken up, the servants of the house in his house hurriedly walked into his room and said, "The master of the house, the man who was rescued yesterday has woken up."

Hearing this, the master father Yan, who was still leaning on the bed, immediately came to his senses: "Go and summon this person here."

After a while, the slave carried a pale man into the house of his master's father.

As soon as he saw the master's father, this person had to struggle to kneel down and salute, "Thank you for saving your life."

And the master father stepped forward to support this person: "No need to be polite, no need to be polite."

Then he said to the servant on the side: "Why don't you go and get a seat quickly!" ”。

Only then did the servant react, and in a panic he fetched the man and ordered him to sit down.

As soon as they were seated, the master father withdrew the servants outside the door and guarded them, and no one else was allowed to enter.

Looking at the person in front of him, the master father Yan began to think about how to set up this person's words.

Immediately, the master father smiled and said, "I don't know if I can be a person from Hedong?" ”。

And this person doesn't seem to know who the master father is, so naturally he won't give up all of it.

just replied: "Back to the nobleman's question, the villain's family has lived in Hedong Anyi since the time of the pre-Qin period, and it is said that he will thank the nobleman for saving him, and if it is not for the nobleman to save him in the middle of winter, the villain will freeze to death on the street ......."

Hearing that this person was a person who lived in Hedong, the lord father asked again: "The words of the foot are strange, the foot lives in Anyi, although there was a great drought in Hedong some time ago, and the people had no food to eat, but at this time, I heard that the officials of the long history of Hedong have begun to distribute corn for the people to make the people live, how can the foot be hungry and faint on the street at this time?" ”。

"This ...... This ...... "the Lord asked, but he didn't know what to say......

However, the master's father did not ask again: "I don't want to say it, and I can't force it, you are now weak and can't stand the bitter cold outside, why don't you live in this mansion first, and then leave after your body is well?" ”。

Hearing this, when this person looked up and saw such a sincere look in the eyes of the master father, he did not thank him, but wept bitterly and cried on his back......

choked up and said: "The villain is just a pariah, how can he be treated like this by a nobleman."

Then the master father Yan got up with a serious look and said: "If you are a human being, how can you see death and not save it, and the sage "Mencius Gongsun Chou" said, "Be kind to others, be good to yourself, how can you not be good as a person?" ”。

In this way, under the flickering of the master's father, at this time, this person is not only grateful to the master's father, but also admires the master's father.

"The words of the nobles should have the style of the ancient saints."

………………………………………………………………………

followed Liu Rong for a while, and the master father Yan also understood the meaning of the freezing three feet of cold for a day.

After that conversation, the master knew from his words that this man was not a man from the countryside.

The people of the Han Dynasty were not able to read books, one was not yet paper at this time, from ancient times to the present, any book of the sages was recorded on the bamboo slips, and the bamboo slips could not be cut down at will.

First of all, we must choose the best green bamboo, cut the rectangular bamboo slices, and then bake the pieces of green bamboo with fire, in order to give the bamboo slips an insect-proof treatment, and then use a solid and durable rope such as cowhide to string them together in short.

A bamboo slip can't write a few words, and besides, there are very few books in the Han Dynasty, and if you can read tens of thousands of words, you are already a very literate person.

And most of the books are still in the hands of the powerful, and ordinary people have not been able to drink a bowl of corn porridge all day long, where is there still time to study the words of the sages.

A person who can read, even if he is an official, is also a wealthy person in the family, but at this time he lives on the streets......

Solid from that day on, the master father Yan was desperate to think that there would be something to gain from this person.

He also ordered someone to cook meat and send it to him to eat it, and when his body improved, he also went to find him to drink together, and for a few days, although he knew why this was so, he also knew that this person's name was Ma Shang, and his family was originally a thousand acres of land in Anyi............

And when Marchand drank with his master's father, he would often look sad.

In the end, I don't know if he was really grateful by the master father or why, as soon as he saw the master father Yan, he knelt down and kowtowed: "There are several people in the noble man's house, and the villain knows that the noble man must be a person who can go straight to the heavens, and the villain has something to ask the nobleman, if the noble man wishes, the villain is willing to be a slave for life, and repay the kindness of the nobleman."

Seeing that he was finally going to speak, the master father was overjoyed and said, "What's the matter? ”。

"The villain has an important matter and asks to see an unspeakable person?".

"Oh? I don't know who it is? ”。

This Ma Shang said with a hideous expression: "At this moment, His Royal Highness the eldest son of the Emperor of Hedong!" ”。
