They all know where the problem is, but they don't have a clue how to solve it, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling and others are worried, their hair is gray, sitting together, they can't come up with an effective solution, they can only sigh.

"How much more food is there?"

Fang Xuanling turned his head and asked an official of the household department, Du Ruhui took over and said with a headache: "No matter how much food is not enough, the people in the entire Guanzhong need to eat, the flood has receded, and it will be survived until the spring and autumn harvest next year, how much grain do you say?"

"You don't have to think so far, you will naturally not be so nervous anymore if you come from other ways to transfer food in the future, the key is what to do now? Some people have already fallen into theft, and if this form is not curbed, it will become more and more intense, and it is very likely that they will break into the door. ”

Fang Xuanling said solemnly, people can do anything to eat, especially when they find that the money is stolen quickly, they can't control it.

At present, the hearts of this group of disaster victims have not yet swelled, but as long as there are people with a heart to instigate them, something big will inevitably happen.

Dai Zhou lowered his head and didn't speak, since the beginning of spring, a character stretched out his hand to ask him for money and grain, and he couldn't wait to dig in the field with his hoe to see if he could dig some food.

This will ask him to give food, he is a two-handed spread, the granary is so empty that he can't even find the mice, probably because he is afraid of starvation.

"Old Dai, don't keep your head down and don't speak! You're in charge of the household, so you can't pretend to be dumb at this time! Fang Xuanling immediately pointed out Dai Xuan.

"This matter can not be handled only by my household department, we need to work together, now the warehouse is empty, ploughing the ground and not particles, really, really powerless!"

Dai Xuan raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and his beard was messy, so there was still a little bit of officialdom, official etiquette? There is no such thing as the imperial history that will jump out and pick thorns, there are not a few situations like him, and he can't sleep, how can he have time to make himself handsome?

"You didn't have any spare?"

"Of course, there is food for urgent needs, but it has long been used up. It's not enough! Even more unfortunate was that some of the grain was washed away by the flood. Dai Zhou's face was full of heartache, so much food was soaked in water!

The people present were silent for a while, and they couldn't do anything without money or food.

Even if those victims are redeemed, when they are hungry, they can only sell their wives and children to large families again, and some whole families will be sold together, and their children and grandchildren will be born to the family, even if they are ruined.

"Actually, it's not impossible." Suddenly, someone whispered in the corner, and all the eyes of everyone looked over.

It was a petty official in a green robe, and he was not qualified to speak on such an occasion, but he was just doing some copywriting and secretary work for these bigwigs.

"You just said there's a way?" Fang Xuanling is not the kind of person who looks down on lower-level officials, and said with a hint of expectation.

"Yes."

The green-robed official said stubbornly, how dare he speak, but he accidentally said what was in his heart.

"Come on, if it works, it will definitely give you credit." Fang Xuanling was already a little disappointed when he saw his cowering appearance, but he still asked with the idea of what to expect.

"Xiaguan and Meng Baolai, the commander of the new army, are neighbors, and I heard him say that the Cai family's caravan has opened up several new trade routes, and food is constantly being transported from all over the country.

"Are you sure?" Fang Xuanling stood up and asked in disbelief. How much manpower and material resources the government has spent, and now it is difficult to transport grain, how can the Cai family transport a large amount of grain?

"It's true, I heard that Chang'anhou invented a car with only one wheel, and one person can push hundreds of catties of grain to walk."

"That's all Meng Baolai told you?"

"Yes! It was the day before yesterday that I met by chance on duty, and then we talked about it. Xia Guan thought that if he could borrow grain from the Cai family, he should be able to solve the urgent need. ”

"I can't be wrong, this is not a chance encounter, it was revealed by Cai Cong. I heard that he had offended the Emperor Taishang before, and was strictly ordered by His Majesty to go home and think about it behind closed doors. He borrowed someone else's mouth to let us take the initiative to come to him! ”

Du Ruhui stood up excitedly, he didn't care what happened to Cai Cong, as long as he could solve the crisis in front of them, it would be enough for them to sleep peacefully tonight.

"Nine times out of ten, Brother Du, it seems that we have to go to the door to see people's faces."

Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly, Du Ruhui was also smiling bitterly, and most of the officials of some status were smiling bitterly, they spared no effort to spread rumors outside, wrote commentaries, and scandalized Cai Cong as a traitor.

Cai Cong released the news to them at this time, just to let them come to the door. With Cai Cong's character of retribution, I'm afraid this door is not easy to enter!

"The old man will go with you! On that day, Yan Silu and I made a name for his mother, and there was some affection, he was a person who valued affection and righteousness, and he would give a little bit of thin face. ”

Li Gang stood up and said without sadness or joy, he did it from his heart that day, but today he wants Cai Cong's favor, which violates the morality in his heart and makes him very tormented.

"Thank you Master Li for that." Fang Xuanling said gratefully, if Li Gang came to sell favors, the emperor didn't have such a big face, and only this poor people could let him do this.

Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui also promoted Cai Cong when Cai Cong was just an official, but Cai Cong's behavior was unacceptable and simply deviant. So even when the literati of the family smeared Cai Cong, they just chose to stand by and watch, not to stop it, not to add fuel to the fire, and to watch the fire burn on the shore.

"Without further ado, let's go now!" Du Ruhui said loudly, handed over everything to the eldest grandson Wuji, and left the office directly.

Eldest Sun Wuji nodded, his current status is also very embarrassing, with a high status and a low official position. From the dragon's work, he is firmly in the first place, but he has a sister who is dedicated to the public, and the emperor has been suppressed by his sister several times.

On the way to Caijia Village, you can see groups of people supporting each other to walk towards Caijia Village, and when you arrive at Caijia Village, there are more thatched houses outside the village, groups of people line up to get porridge, the elderly and young children, can also receive soft buns, everyone's face is full of gratitude and hope for life.

This made the three of them even more convinced that Cai Cong had a large amount of food in his hands, otherwise who would dare to provide such extravagant, unlimited supply of disaster relief?

When the carriage arrived at Cai's house, Meng Baolai was already waiting at the door, according to the plan, the new army was originally under the leadership of Cai Cong, and the disaster relief was everywhere, but now it is also yellow, everyone can watch the excitement.

He was also idle, and when he saw the three of them stepping on the door, Meng Baolai smiled and said, "Master Li is here too?" The three of you, please, Hou Ye has been waiting for a long time. ”

Fang Xuanling shook his head with a smile and said to Du Ruhui: "Brother Du, did you hear that?" People have been waiting for us for a long time, and it's really not a coincidence! ”

"Haha, since the old man dares to come, he is ready to spit on his own face, go, see what this kid wants?" Du Ruhui laughed and walked into Cai's mansion first, this move is not to say that he is the most noble, but to show that there is any embarrassment today, and he bears it.

Cai Cong was lying on his stomach, and when he saw Du Ruhui who walked in first, he smiled, and then saw Li Gang who walked in behind, and he immediately blackened his face.

"The kid has seen Master Li, and he has seen two adults, and he is unable to move, please forgive me for the rudeness."

In a simple sentence, I heard the gap between distant and close relatives, Fang Xuanling had also promoted Cai Cong before, but when Cai Cong stood on the opposite side of the family, this kindness dissipated.

At this moment, Fang Xuanling said to Cai Cong with a smile: "Don't be surprised if you take the liberty to come to the door, I came here today to ask for help from Chang'anhou."

"Well said, well said. It's just that I only saw Master Li, but not Mr. Yan Silu, the two of them also found Mr. Yan, and added Master Li together, I would agree to anything. ”
