Shaking off the water thieves, Qu Wu and Ximen Fox finally breathed a sigh of relief. Qu Wu judged that these water thieves came specifically to intercept the Taiwu, and the purpose was to take revenge for the failure of the raid a few days ago.

Qu Wu returned to the cabin, and Zi Yan was very excited after listening to his introduction with great interest to repel the water pirates, and was glad that Qu Wu passed the hurdle unscathed.

Qu Wu's fleet finally reached the territory of Wu. As it passed through Hanyue, the fleet came to a halt.

Qu Wu and Ziyan got off the boat and came to the county yamen, only to see many poor people in poor clothes and shoes gathered at the yamen, knowing that these people were begging the county yamen for a living ration, which made them both feel very uncomfortable.

The guards guarding at the gate of the county government stopped Qu Wu and Ziyan, and heard that Qu Wu was looking for the county Yin, and asked them for their names and reasons.

Wu Rong was very surprised that Qu Wu and Zi Yan came to Hanyue: "Brother Qu Wu and Zi Yan, I really didn't expect you to come, great, the brothers are all right?"

"Brother Wu, don't come to harm? The brothers are all good. After going to Gusu, everyone went back to their hometown again, and now they are all back to Gusu. ”

"That brother is coming to Hanyue today?"

"No, Ziyan and I just bought grain from Yingdu and passed through Hanyue."

"Buying food? The restaurant doesn't have to go to Chu to buy grain, right? Wu Rong was a little confused.

"It's not a restaurant need. You should know that now there is a shortage of green and yellow, and last year there was a poor harvest due to the disaster, and many people in Gusu are starving. ”

"Yes, not only Gusu, but also Hanyue, I am worried about this matter, and many people are at the gate of the county government."

"I just saw it, and it's heart-wrenching. Ziyan and I bought eleven boatloads of grain in Yingdu, which were specially used to help the hungry, and left two boats for you. ”

"Huh? Brother, this is really a blessing in disguise, I thank you for everyone in Hanyue. Haven't uninstalled it yet, have you? ”

"No, I'm just here to ask where you are?"

"Unload it to Caiyun Restaurant, there is a warehouse there to arrange."

Saying that, Wu Rong took more than a dozen soldiers and came to Caiyun Restaurant with Qu Wu and Ziyan.

Wu Rong, Qu Wu, and Zi Yan walked into the lobby, Wu Jiang was settling accounts inside, and was overjoyed to see them come in: "Boss, why are you and Zi Yan free today?"

"I've come to see you." Qu Wu said.

"Qu Wu is here to deliver food to our hungry people." Wu Rong said.

"Wow, this is great, the restaurant has to boil some porridge every day to distribute to the hungry, but the food is not enough, it is difficult to satisfy."

"Two Lord Wu, the grain on the two boats has a total of 100,000 catties, I want to ask, how is this grain distributed? Is it porridge or direct distribution? Qu Wu asked, worried about the food distribution.

Qu Wu's fears are not unreasonable. If food distribution is not screened, many people who are not short of food will be diverted from the resources of those in need of relief.

"It takes too much time and energy to boil porridge, and since there are as many as 100,000 catties of food, it can be distributed directly." Wu Rong said.

"Lord County Yin, do you mean to line up to distribute food, everyone has a share?" Qu Wu said.

"That's the only way, because there's no way to know who is not short of food." Wu Rong said.

"But that would make those who don't need relief a share of the hungry." Qu Wu said.

"Boss, what do you have to do?" Wu Jiang asked.

"There is a solution, and it should work. It's just that the implementation of this method will risk being scolded by everyone. Qu Wu said.

"You mean everybody doesn't agree? As long as it's useful, it's worth getting scolded, brother, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Wu Rong said.

"It's very simple, just two words: mixed with sand."

"Huh? Why should good grain be mixed with sand? Isn't this a pit man? The Wu Rong and Wu Jiang brothers were all taken aback.

"Let's not talk about pit people for the time being, but have you ever thought about it, will those rich families still want grain mixed with sand?"

"But how do people eat it when it's mixed with sand? It doesn't work. Wu Rong said.

"It is impossible to eat grain mixed with sand when it is boiled into dry rice and baked into cakes, but it is no problem to boil porridge, the sand is heavy and will sink to the bottom of the pot, and the porridge on it will not have an effect." Qu Wu said.

"Then you can't drink porridge all day?" Wu Jiang said.

"Of course, wealthy families don't drink porridge all day, but for those who are hungry, they can survive half a day with a bowl of porridge, and they are the ones who need relief the most." Qu Wu said.

"If you say so, it's true that you will be scolded, and even those who are being given relief will complain." Wu Rong said.

"That's why I said I was going to take the risk of being scolded by the crowd."

"As long as I can really help people in need, I, Wu Rong, am willing to be scolded. We're going to go to the wharf now and bring the grain here first, and half of the grain will be mixed with sand first. Wu Rong said.

With that, Qu Wu, Wu Rong and Wu Jiang came to the dock with the dozen or so soldiers, hired ten dock workers and began to unload the grain on the two boats, and then transported it to Caiyun Restaurant by cart.

Wu Rong saw that Qu Wu's grain fleet was as many as eleven ships, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Qu Wu, you are really good at it, not to mention how much gold you spend on so much grain, just because you can buy so much grain, it is already admirable."

"It's really not easy to get together so much food, Ziyan has made a lot of efforts, and my luck is good." Qu Wu said.

"Boss, you can simply give us one more boatload of grain, Gusu has eight boats of grain." Wu Jiang said on the side.

"Yes, Qu Wu, the people of Hanyue know you, give you an extra boatload of food, everyone will remember you better, and besides, this place is not far from Liuhe, if the hungry people over there hear that there is food in Hanyue, many people will come." Wu Rong said.

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if you remember me or not, but you do have a point in saying that Liuhe is close, so let's unload three boats of grain."

The Wu Rong brothers were very happy when they heard Qu Wu say this.

The people on the wharf were very excited to see the county Yin commanding the people unloading the grain, and they were very excited to hear that this was the relief grain bought by the boss of Caiyun Louqu, and they ran to tell each other, so that many hungry people who were in danger saw hope.

After arranging the unloading of the ship, the three of them returned to Caiyun Tower, Qu Wu asked Wu Jiang to arrange five tables of wine and food, and let those hard-working boatmen go to Caiyun Tower to eat and drink in two batches.

After Wu Jiang arranged the wine and food of the boatman, he opened another table, Wu Jiang was the east, Wu Rong and his wife, Qu Wu and Zi Yan gathered together and had a meal like a family.

At the wine table, Qu Wu pulled Ziyan to toast Wu Rong and Wu Jiang together, and announced that the two of them were engaged.

Wu Rong and his wife and Wu Jiang were very surprised, and they all held glasses to bless the two of them, Ziyan stood beside Qu Wu, her face was shy and charming, and she never drank alcohol, and she drank several glasses of white wine.
