In the old mansion of Huangfu, after a period of chickens and dogs, Huang Xu, the contemporary head of the family, knew the situation outside, the soldiers of the mansion, the young and strong people in the clan, all of them were transferred, and then, Sun Zhengming, who investigated and closed the position, came, Huang Xu didn't have to use his brain, and he knew that this was designed early in the morning.

Huang Xu, who was on the throne, after listening to the servant's report on the news, asked, "Sun Zhengming just arrested Huang Fu and called the grain that was often closed?" ”

The servant who reported the message replied, "Yes, sir." He got the ironclad evidence that he often closed the position and collected grain at a high price, and Huang Fu had already taken the sin alone in accordance with the strategy formulated before. ”

"In this case, it is difficult for us to stop Sun Zhengming from calling for food."

"But, sir, shall we just watch them finish pulling the grain out of the warehouse?"

"So what? Sun Zhengming is the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, he is in charge of the entire Tang Dynasty's Chang Ping, and said that Huang Fu has now been given ironclad evidence, and confessed, that is, under normal circumstances, he wants to call the grain that Chang Ping, we also have nothing to say, those grains are all grain purchased with the taxes of the imperial court, but not the private property of our Huang family. ”

"So, you mean, whatever?"

"Of course we won't care, without these grains, we have less capital to collect money from the people, but let's not take care of it directly, you let people go to the whole city to spread the news, just say that when the flood comes, the imperial court will transfer all the life-saving food in Huangzhou, which is to cut off everyone's way of life, so that the people will spontaneously go to the dock to stop them."

"It's still the master's clever trick, and the little one will do it."

The servant was about to go down after receiving the order, and Huang Xu beckoned again, "Slow, I have to send some people to the states to spread the message and tell the other families that the imperial court will take action in the near future, so that they can defend the embankment earlier." ”

"No."

After the servant received the order, Huang Xu drank the tea leisurely, those people can stop Sun Zhengming, it is naturally the best, as long as the grain is still in his Huangzhou territory, he will be able to operate.

Even if it can't be stopped, it's nothing, in this way, the people know that there is no grain in Changping, and the grain in his Huang family's private warehouse can be sold at a high price, because everyone has no choice, and in the entire Huangzhou territory, only his Huang family's private warehouse has some grain.

The Huang family's mobilization ability in Huangzhou is super strong, especially in their base camp Huanggang County, and soon, thousands of people gathered on the dock, but Sun Xiangfu seems to have expected this situation of the people.

"Dear people of Huangzhou, I am Sun Zhengming, the secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, I am here, just to ensure that everyone eats, now the water level of the Yangtze River is rising too violently, the State Highway Governor's Office and the Thorn History Mansion have sent people to various places where the water is serious to build embankments to fight floods, and my task is only to transfer the grain to a higher and safer location to hoard, and you yourself, you can also pack up your belongings as soon as possible and take refuge in high places with your officials······

This reason is so powerful, so that the people of the Huang clan who want to prevent the grain from being transported away are speechless, Sun Xiangfu not only wants to transport the grain away, but also transports everyone away.

Aren't you worried that I've taken the food away and you don't have anything to eat? Now, you can follow me and eat.

Not to mention, there are really a lot of people in the city who are not children of the Huang family hurriedly return home, pack up their valuable belongings, and rush to the dock with a cart on their shoulders, whether the big water can really flood Huanggang County They don't know, but they know that as long as they can flood the surrounding fields, then, all their belongings will be hollowed out by the Huang family, and there will be floods in the past, such examples are not uncommon, obey the arrangements of the government, not only safe, but also keep their own property, they are naturally willing to respond.

"Grandpa, do we really want to bring these people?" Zhang Ke looked at some of the people who were carrying their shoulders and carrying all kinds of belongings and belongings to the dock, and asked Sun Xiangfu.

"Of course, otherwise who do you think we will cultivate with so many fields built later? That's them. Sun Xiangfu pointed to the people who were queuing up to get on the boat.

After a while, Wuying'er, who was wearing a hat, squeezed from the crowd to Sun Xiangfu's side, and reported, "Grandpa, the Huang family sent out to inform the people of several other families, all of them were taken down by us, and Huang Xu himself was also under our close surveillance. ”

"Well, very good, we have to speed up the progress here, solve the matter quickly, and go to Caizhou, Dengzhou and other places."

The clan on the Jingzhou side has been comfortable for too long, how can it be that Sun Xiangfu's subordinates who have been fighting for a long time are shrewd, once they have a plan to deal with a person, it is almost a war-level standard, and in terms of what can be done, basically do not leave any chance for the other party.

When Sun Xiangfu gave all the young and strong people who wanted to take refuge in high places with the ship, after offering a salary of fifty wen a day, the speed of Chang Ping's handling of grain was even faster, and when a boat was filled, a boat would be taken, and in just two days, 1.8 million stone of grain would be transported, and at this time, Wu Shitong also returned to the fleet on the grounds that he wanted to check the water conditions in other places.

In the cabin, the warrior Tong who was drinking the soup to dispel dampness complained, "That Chen Xiong, in fact, is more appropriate to call Huang Xiong, the dignified five-grade Zhongzhou Thorn History, like a dog raised by the Huang family, listening to a member of the Huang family." ”

"Hehe, money can make ghosts grind, being an official in a place like Huangzhou, listening to the Huang family, he has benefits, if he doesn't listen to the Huang family, he is just a decoration that the officials don't like to take care of, most people will make a choice like him, you don't need to be angry." Sun Xiangfu persuaded the warrior who had been tired for several days to say two sentences.

"What are you going to do next?"

Sun Xiangfu replied, "Judging from the situation in Huangzhou, Caizhou, Dengzhou and other places are not expected to be too good, however, with the example of the Huang family, he should also hold the same mentality and let us pull the grain away, so our actions should be very smooth, as long as we increase the investment of manpower, the action is faster." ”

The warrior nodded and then asked, "You mean to gather all the grain from the states and some people who have no support to the fields?" ”

Sun Xiangfu nodded and said, "Of course, the reason why the clan can run rampant in the world is nothing more than that they have mastered two things, money and food.

When I was in Shanyang's administration, I tightened the two aspects of money and food, and even a super-first-class family like the Wang family could not intervene in Shanyang's core decision-making level.

In fact, when the Datang Money Village was opened in all the states and counties, it was already the imperial court that really controlled the financial power of the world, and I could easily know some of the Huang family's silver money transactions from the Huangzhou Money Village, and I could also directly issue an order to imprison all the assets of the Huang family in the Qian Village.

So, in terms of money, in fact, they are fish in our nets, which can be fished up and eaten at any time.

Now, as long as the vast majority of the food is also in our hands, you say, are they Heng? Or am I horizontal? ”

Hearing this, even the scheming warrior Tong, for Sun Xiangfu, also rose a little awe, no wonder he is young, is able to play with the five surnames and seven families in the applause, Cai, Huang, Deng, Liu, Kuai such second- and third-rate families, in his hands, can not make any waves, it seems that the land of Jingxiang should be the next place to take off economically after Guanzhong, Lingnan and Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate.

Half a month later, Wu Shi Tong set off to Chang'an to take office, Sun Xiangfu finally returned to Dayuan, at this time, here on the hundred miles of embankment, has been inhabited by tens of thousands of people who have migrated from various states, because the time has entered the April of the solar calendar, the weather here has been very warm, everyone only needs to set up a tent that can block the rain to settle down, on the embankment back to the river, the accumulation of millions of stone grain, enough to make all the people feel at ease.

Sun Xiangfu had just returned from patrolling the shantytown, and Wuying'er went to the room to report, "Grandpa, those who have been arrested have confessed. ”

"Well, take them into custody for the time being, and in addition, send my message to the officials who supervise the money bank, in the near future, the deposits in the names of the major families are not allowed to have a large amount of cash withdrawals of more than 10,000 yuan, so it is said that the money withdrawn this year must be the new money minted by the Weinan Coin Foundry, and the cash can only be withdrawn after the new money is escorted over by Guanzhong."

"No."

Not long after Wuying'er went down, Wu Meiniang entered the room with a bowl of dampness soup, and reported, "Master, organic fertilizer has long been applied to the field, and all kinds of rice seedlings in the seedbed have grown with chopsticks, is it time to transplant them to the field?" ”

"Well, you can start transplanting, you invite all the officials of the Ministry of Agriculture to the hall, let's have a meeting and assign tasks, besides, those boys are quite honest in the village during this time!"

The 'boys' that Sun Xiangfu said are naturally Li Tai's princes.

"Well, they, that, are honest!"

Sun Xiangfu has long not regarded Wu Meiniang as a child, she is a human spirit with a child's skin, hearing the unnaturalness in her tone, Sun Xiangfu immediately remembered, before he left, he handed over the task of supervising the kings to Wu Meiniang, it seems that there is a story in this, however, Sun Xiangfu asked Wu Meiniang this party, she probably won't say it, and what she said is also a good thing to beautify herself, and she has to call Du Gou to ask when she turns around.

"Alright, go down! Let Zhang Ke come in and see me. ”

Wu Meiniang ran out quickly, and then, Zhang Ke, who was on duty at the door, strode in.

"Is there anything Grandpa has to order?"

"Well, the river has risen to the foot of the embankment today, this year's disaster is already not small, you pass my order, let the land and water transfer company, send a big boat to the river, along the shore of the lake to inspect, if you find a lonely people, they are all gathered on the boat, transported to this side, some small villages, or the people of the county affected by the flood, can be moved over.

In addition, we should go to the shantytowns of the victims on the embankment to do a good job of epidemic prevention and sanitation publicity, and follow the epidemic prevention manual we used in Lingnan before, and inform those young people on the embankment to gather at the field tomorrow to learn the rice transplanting technology in the rice field. ”

Sun Xiangfu doesn't expect the people to understand what the truth of multi-rice mixed planting, he only needs to teach the people some simple knowledge such as the water level height that needs to be maintained in the rice field when planting rice, and the distance between the rows.
