Chapter 443: Trapped
"How could the old man you said not know, just thinking that the people are hungry and have no food and clothing, the old man is sad!" Li Gang said uncomfortably, looking at Cai Cong, he wanted to speak and stopped. The catastrophe has happened, the dead and wounded are irreparable, and he is suffering for the people who have suffered.
"You're sorry for you, we have to eat first, it's rare that you say please eat, we haven't eaten at noon, this will be very hungry! That who, feeling that if you bring our dishes up, I won't get in the way if you're hungry, and if you're hungry the prince, I'll kill you with a cane. ”
Cai Cong's words immediately trotted to the kitchen in fright, Li Gang looked at the two people who were full of food, sighed and silently ate his pickles and eggs.
didn't say a word, according to his habit, he didn't sleep or sleep, this was to talk to Cai Cong reluctantly during the meal.
Li Gang no longer grinds and chirps, and the two of them are clean, and the hungry people eat very fragrantly, and the soup base is scraped and eaten clean by Li Tai with steamed buns.
In Li Tai's words, it is unprecedented to let Li Gang treat him to such a luxurious meal, and he has to work hard.
"The meal is also finished, you hurry up and get out of here, look at you shit, the old man will not fight when he is angry."
Li Gang looked at the two people who were loosening their belts and walking diagonally, and the beard of the old man who was sitting like a loose man was shaking.
"Old man, you are really not suitable for playing tricks, you said that Brother Cai'er disrupted your rhythm with a few words, if the kid hadn't eaten too much, he would have laughed a long time ago."
Seeing that the old man was in a frenzy, Li Tai hurriedly joked, Li Gang's face was dark, these two boys knew that they had something to ask for them, but they took advantage of themselves, which was really inappropriate.
immediately ignored them, sat on the side, watched the nose, nose and heart, and didn't look at the two of them.
Cai Cong immediately panicked, and the old man couldn't help but be funny, so he got angry, and tentatively called Li Gang a few times, but Li Gang didn't hear it, and it was clear that he was annoyed and angry and didn't want to pay attention to them.
Originally, I just wanted to see the old man's reaction, but I didn't expect to touch the bottom line of the old man, Cai Cong beckoned to Li Tai, and the two tiptoed out of the dining room.
"Whew~ It's too big, a decent gentleman like the old man can't joke, let's think about how to remedy it!" Cai Cong said with guilt, old pedants like Li Gang can't make jokes, they think too easily.
"What else can we do, think about what the old man asked us to do, and do things beautifully, maybe it would be good. I just don't know what the old man wants us to do? ”
Li Tai pinched his chin and made a thinking motion, at this time he also pretended to be, he belonged to the master who asked for money and no money, and Cai Cong was the one who worked, so it was no problem to talk about it.
"What else can happen, isn't it just medicinal herbs! If you send someone to take a look, you will know that there are corpses all over the field, and there is no one to collect them, and if you don't clean them up, there will be a plague immediately. ”
Cai Cong said solemnly, if you don't say that the conspiracy is invincible in the world, so many people have died downstream, it is impossible to hide it, but if the plague is reported to be rampant, not only will the officials not be responsible, but they can also take the opportunity to make another profit, which is really outrageous.
"This is a trivial matter, your Cai family's caravan is all over the world, how easy it is to transport some medicinal herbs! Send troops to clean up the downstream again, and the old man will definitely be very satisfied. ”
Li Tai said nonchalantly, Cai Cong is unhappy, what you said is light, how expensive the medicinal materials are! Parity in and parity out, really when he is a good hall.
Besides, Yangzhou Mansion is not without troops, so why should he contribute money and efforts?
Seeing Cai Cong's reluctance, Li Tai just said lightly You have offended Old Man Li, so he had no choice but to send someone to arrange the downstream affairs.
And the two of them would never have thought that when they left the Assassin's Mansion, Li Gang showed a smile that had succeeded in his treacherous scheme, who said that the moral Confucianism would not play tricks?
However, Li Gang is really helpless, Wen Feng, a loser, has tossed the treasury of Yangzhou almost clean, and the pirates attacked the city to get rid of the last bit of his family, otherwise he would never ignore the rules and ask Li Shimin to remove Wen Feng.
However, Li Gang is not the only one who can see through it in the court, and it is absolutely impossible to ask someone to come out and carry the pot, since you Li Gang is a protector, then you can carry this pot!
However, Li Shimin calculated very clearly, Cai Cong would not watch the old man in Yangzhou and not be able to open the pot, so he had to take a hand, right?
The old man probably saw through this, this is not a corrupt official to clean up, all the stolen money is confiscated, the resettlement of the victims is all Cai Cong's, Yangzhou Mansion can survive until next year's autumn harvest, and the best thing is that the court does not need to take Cai Cong's personal affection for this matter.
Li Gang originally wanted to owe Cai Cong a personal favor, who called this a matter made by his untalented disciple? Who knows that Cai Cong will die by himself, which can be regarded as letting him know how much it costs to eat and drink in the moral Confucianism.
Thinking of this, Li Gang couldn't help laughing, Cai Cong must be very crazy, he is no longer that kind of little person, he doesn't need to rely on his own interests to get more room for development, so in the past two years, except for the old Li family, it is difficult for others to take advantage of him.
Let's just say that the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't get any benefits in Taiyuan, and he almost didn't break his leg by Cai Cong, and now he doesn't give enough benefits, and it is whimsical to want to transfer the eldest grandson to Yangzhou.
Cai Cong is indeed very popular, but he can only wipe Wen Feng's buttocks, who calls Yangzhou now in the hands of the old pedant, and his many methods are powerless.
For this reason, he transferred a large number of students from the academy, and his own people were not around, so he could only transfer the students in the academy to various places, and then transfer the experienced generation of students from all over the country to Yangzhou to fill the various ministries for deployment, otherwise the logistics of these two armies could not be supplied.
Two of the three large counties on the Yangzhou side have been flooded, a large number of fertile fields have become quagmires, and the rice harvested by the people has not been handed over and washed away with the water along with the houses, and the people can be said to have no hope of life next year.
Not to mention anything else, it is this house, and there are four months of rations and planting grains that are a big amount that makes Cai Cong's scalp tingle.
As a last resort, he had to apply to the imperial court to transfer the taxes from other areas of Yangzhou this year to provide disaster relief, which made Li Gang reluctant to see Cai Cong for more than ten days.
But after the catastrophe, the population of the county was two or three, and the two large counties were completely abolished, and the two mothers and sons couldn't even find their homes when they went back, and the whole village was soaked in water, and it was no longer obvious that it was a village before.
If someone hadn't stopped her, Aunt Datian would have jumped into the muddy river with her son in her arms, not everyone can shoulder the responsibility of a family like Sister Cai.
Li Tai has been running with Cai Cong for many days, his face has become more and more mature, and his thoughts and thoughts have become more determined to be realized.
