There is a bottom line for "death and then death", and the bottom line is that food must be returned, people can die, and food cannot be repaid.

This is Li Su's understanding of the loud slogans shouted by the landlords.

Li Su agrees with them very much, everyone is not a saint, including Li Su, the so-called "dedication" is conditional, loud and beautiful slogans can be shouted a few more times, the premise is not to pay too much like a fool, they are full of money, when it overflows, the overflowing part can be selflessly dedicated, if the personality is a little greater, the pot can also be taken out a little, and if there is more, it will turn its face.

This is not selfishness, but human nature, the humanity of the vast majority of people in the world, can be dedicated, but never all of it, half of it must be considered.

In comparison, the dozens of landlords in front of them are already very generous, of course, the main reason is that the deed certificate taken out by Li Su has given them enough confidence to borrow grain in the name of the government and even the prince, and they will never worry about defaulting on their debts.

Li Su was very happy, this was the most comfortable day since leaving Chang'an, and the danger of the people of Jinju was finally eased slightly.

Nearly 10,000 stone of grain, it can be said that Li Su has collected all the hidden grain in Jinju, and there is no need to worry about the refugees making a big mess when the official warehouse is empty after six days.

"Very good, His Royal Highness the King of Jin and the official are very pleased, you good gentlemen know the general situation, know the righteousness, Jinzhou can have your generosity, it is really the blessing of the community, the blessing of the people, His Royal Highness the King of Jin and the official acting court, Your Majesty and the people, thank you."

After saying that, Li Su straightened up, and Li Zhi hurriedly showed a solemn and awe-inspiring look, and the two of them waved at the landlords very formally.

The landlords hurriedly returned the salute and did not dare to say anything.

After the ceremony. Li Su said with a smile: "In the year of the catastrophe, you can't do extravagant things, but today is special, His Royal Highness the King of Jin and this official will feast all the good gentry on behalf of the court, the banquet may be simple, but my heart is sincere." I hope you don't give up. ”

The landlords couldn't help but have a light on their faces, Zhan Zhan was shining, Li Su could be a man, and he could also speak, first even scared and threatened, bluffed everyone, and then lured him to the name, and directly moved out the inscription of His Majesty the Emperor as a bait, and the landlords knew that it was a pit and jumped into it without hesitation. At this time, Li Su said a few more words, made a salute, and set up a banquet, so that all the landlords had a good face, even though there was still a little resentment in their hearts. Eventually, it disappeared.

After all, this is an era of strict class. The emperor's son, the county marquis of Qinfeng, in the eyes of these landlords and rich landlords, is already a big man who has reached the sky, and such a figure descends in front of them like a god, and is extremely respectful and polite to them. This alone made all the landlords appreciate and glorify.

Then there are the pros and cons of borrowing grain.

Is it okay not to borrow food? Of course, you are in charge of your food, but if you don't borrow it, the consequences will not be up to you. In the disaster year, in order to prevent the people from rebelling because of hunger, it can be said that both the prince and the government will do whatever it takes to maintain the stability of the people, this "all costs" includes the lives of these landlords, the grain is not borrowed but also borrowed, if you dare not borrow, not to mention the first arrest, enjoy the eighteen torture instruments in the prison, pry open your mouth, force you to hide the grain place, and then cut you with a knife, and the cut will also publicize that this person does not know the general situation, but the family hides grain Qianshi but is indifferent to the life and death of the people, conscience and morality are so bad that they bleed pus, kill a person with bad morals, the people will only applaud, and no one will complain about him.

Strictly speaking, putting aside Li Su and Li Zhi's elevating words, polite words, and the superficial efforts of saluting and banqueting, Li Su's behavior today is a complete robbery, the difference is that the robbery is very gentle, reasonable, and well-founded, and accidentally stands on the moral high ground, so that the landlords want to oppose it without an explanation.

…………

The banquet is really very simple, it is really not Li Su's modesty, each person on the banquet is simple three dishes, two meat and one vegetable, vegetarian dishes or wild vegetables temporarily dug from the mountains, three dishes and a bowl of millet rice, no wine, after a thousand years, the lunch set that sells for fifteen yuan a piece has become a banquet for the prince and the county marquis to entertain the landlords.

All the landlords are very happy to eat, they are all rich people, they are all people who have seen the world, what delicacies have not been eaten? Although this meal is simple, after all, it was personally entertained by the prince and the county marquis on behalf of the imperial court, and it is not too much to say that it is a "state banquet".

The content of the food is not important, the important thing is the grade and meaning, Li Zhi and Li Su personally accompanied each other as the hosts, repeatedly replaced the wine with water, respected the landlords, everyone's vanity was greatly satisfied, and the guests and hosts enjoyed a simple meal.

********************************************************************

"In three days, the grain promised by the landlords should be in place, and the crisis of Jinju will be solved!"

After the landlords said goodbye, Li Su sat down on the seat and smiled weakly.

Socializing is very troublesome, and it is also a very tiring thing, for a whole day, Li Su has been dealing with these rural rich people, exhausted his thoughts, spent countless brains, and finally had a good harvest, but it also made him extremely tired at the moment, and he collapsed like he had no strength.

The little kid Li Zhi was full of energy, until the landlords left, His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who had always maintained a cold appearance, quickly changed his face, and the cold style immediately became cute and cheap, jumping up and down without a proper shape.

"Brother Zizheng is highly talented, and he can't be cured!" Li Zhi grinned and tugged at Li Su's sleeve and said, "Solve the danger of Jinzhou, if this matter is known to my father, he will definitely praise me fiercely, right?" ”

Li Su sighed and said, "Your Highness, you have to figure it out, even if your father wants to praise me, you should praise me fiercely, what are you doing?" ”

"Brother Zizheng's words are wrong, you and I have a deep brotherly relationship, and we have long been indistinguishable from each other, besides, this time I have been ordered to go on patrol, you and I share honor and disgrace, and the credit is naturally not divided between each other......" Li Zhibei said with a smile.

Tut. When I first met this little kid, why didn't you see that his face was so shameless?

Li Su pushed Li Zhichao out: "He is that, this is this, the minister thinks it's better to distinguish a little clearly, if it's to carry the black pot, the minister thinks it's better for everyone to carry each other together......"

Li Zhi pursed his lips, obviously despising Li Su's character.

"Nearly 10,000 stone of grain. It's enough for the entire people of Jinju to eat for a year, right? Li Zhi was excited at the thought of suddenly getting so much food, and kept rubbing his hands to calculate the small account.

Li Su glanced at him obliquely, and said leisurely: "With so much food, do you think I will use it all in Jinju?" ”

Li Zhi was stunned: "Otherwise, what?" ”

"Now that the entire north of Datang has been hit by a disaster, this 10,000 stone of grain seems to be a lot, but with the average number of people affected in the north, how much food do you think each person can share? Or how many people don't get food? ”

Li Zhi was speechless.

Li Su sighed and said, "So." These grains can't all be used in Jinju, they can only be left enough for the people of Jinju to use in March, and the rest, let's take them to Jinyang, Your Highness, don't forget, this time our main destination is Jinyang, not Jinzhou, and the disaster in Jinyang is even more serious. Your Highness should be mentally prepared. ”

Li Su explained very clearly, and Li Zhi quickly understood. Then he showed a relieved and relaxed expression, and said with a smile: "That's okay, you once said that the most stable thing in the disaster year is the grain, as long as we transport the grain over, like Jinju today." Set up a tent outside the city to distribute food relief to the refugees, and the errand given to me by my father must be determined soon, and we will easily return to Chang'an......

Li Su didn't squeak, and stared at Li Zhi with a strange expression. stared at Li Zhi's hair, and the smile on his face was a little stiff.

"Uh, Brother Zizheng, what Fei Feizhi said is inappropriate?"

"Okay, it's too proper......" Li Su bowed his head and said: "Is this good, His Royal Highness led the guards to Jinyang first, well, the grain was also brought over, just like what I did outside Jinju City, what about me, I will stay in Jinzhou to supervise the release of grain by the Jinzhou government, you and I divide the labor, if Your Highness makes a contribution, I will never rob you of half a point, what does Your Highness think?" ”

Although Li Zhi is young, he is also a clever little child, and he quickly heard the meaning of Li Su's words, his little face couldn't help but collapse, and he said dejectedly: "Brother Zizheng might as well say it bluntly if he has something to say, why send Zhi to Jinyang to die?" ”

Li Su smiled: "Do you also know that going to Jinyang is to die?" Say it so easily, and 'carry reputation', according to your current idea of despising the enemy, let alone 'carry reputation', it is not impossible to end up with a horse leather shroud and return......"

Li Zhi's face changed, then he got up and waved at him, and said, "If you make a mistake, please ask Brother Zizheng to correct me." ”

Li Su sighed, this little kid, admitting his mistakes is extremely fast, and he can't tell himself a lesson if he doesn't know it.

"Your Royal Highness, the rebellion in Jinyang, food can not completely solve the problem, it is different from the situation in Jinzhou, Jinzhou is relatively simple, the people only lack food, with food, people's hearts will be settled, and there will be no trouble, but Jinyang is the land of the Tang Dynasty, and the meaning of this place is different, so those with bad intentions will also choose to carry out conspiracy and incitement in Jinyang, before we arrive in Jinyang, we can only plan for the worst, so may I ask Your Highness, what is the worst plan?"

Li Zhi pondered, and then ...... Shaking his head in confusion.

Forget it, the little kid is only twelve years old this year, and he probably won't be able to answer this question.

So Li Su said slowly: "The worst plan is that those who are engaged in conspiracy behind their backs have succeeded, they have incited most of the affected people, and are actively plotting a rebellion in secret!" ”

Li Zhi's face changed drastically, and he looked at him in shock.

Li Su said lightly: "This is just the worst prediction, maybe not so serious, but we must have the idea of not thinking about winning and losing before we do things, so that no matter what unexpected situation occurs, we will not panic, and we can deal with it calmly, if you just go to Jinyang to help the victims, maybe you will be hit by the enemy's cold arrow just after entering the city, so we must prepare for the worst, from the moment you step into the Jinyang realm, you can only treat yourself as if you are in the enemy country, everywhere crisis, everywhere ambush soldiers, You must always be on your guard so that you can protect yourself. ”

Li Zhi was emotionally moved, and once again gave Li Su a long look: "Brother Zizheng, you have been taught, thank you!" ”

Li Su blinked: "Really taught?" ”

"Really." Li Zhi's face was sincere.

"Then let me ask you, what should we do if we set foot in Jinyang and find that the victims have rebelled and the city has been occupied by the rebels?"

Li Zhi said awe-inspiringly: "Lead the troops to quell the rebellion and recapture Jinyang!" ”

"Wrong, but if you are a normal person, your first reaction when you encounter a rebellion should be to turn around and run, save your life first, and then talk about ......"
