Cai Cong sneered, and Du Ruhui and the others looked ashamed, not knowing how to answer. Li Gang stood up for them and said: "Don't blame them, now that Guanzhong is in great trouble, how can the old man sit idly by?" Even if you lose your old face, you will not hesitate. ”

"How can the kid not know Mr. Feng's bones, this matter must be Mr. Ying, I just look down on the two of them, the old gentleman can give up half of his life for the sake of the people, but they are afraid of losing face, so let you follow to block the wind and rain, that is a bit responsible? Have you ever thought about how painful it would be for Master Li to give up the persistence in his heart? ”

Cai Cong said disdainfully, and the two officials of the court who said a few words were red-faced. This kid's mouth was even more poisonous, and if it weren't for the food borrowing, they would have tried to hide their faces and run away.

"It's our fault, we came today to borrow grain from the Marquis of Chang'an, we have already said on the way, even if we are spit on your face, we will smile and wait for it to dry itself."

Fang Xuanling said curtly, it is impossible to really spit on his face, but humiliation and harsh conditions are possible.

"Hehe, do you really think that the two of you are the only one in this world? Still spitting on my face, I'm bhew! If you weren't grounded by Your Majesty, do you need to come? I've already sent it to the door, and I'm all a bit of a fly camper, and my heart is too dirty. Cai Cong smiled contemptuously, looked at both of them with contempt in his eyes, and shouted at the door: "Baolai!"

"Master, what do you command?" Meng Baolai walked in and asked with a smile.

"Take the account book to the two adults, and then ask them to leave, our family is simple-hearted, and we can't let them be dirty." deliberately said sarcastically, but unfortunately the two of them only heard the word account book in their ears, and the rest were forgotten.

"The two adults will wait a while, and a certain family will come when they go." Meng Baolai turned around and left, and after a while, he came back with a few account books that were not very thick and handed them to Fang Xuanling. The two of them each took out a book, turned the page and looked at it, it was written how many thousands of loads of grain the caravan had transported to the county of Guanzhong, who the escort was, how many people, how much the daily consumption was, and the geometry of the wages was clearly written.

The two of them were shocked, and when they turned another page, they could see that a few pages had been torn in the middle, and this page also wrote how much grain had arrived at that place.

"This, could it be that your Cai family has already sent food to all counties in Guanzhong?" Fang Xuanling screamed in shock, not to mention how much food was needed, but how to open up a new way to reach these places is a heavenly mound.

"I would like to, but my Cai family is not a thousand-year-old family, and there is no strong storage. The grain was sent to the hardest-hit areas, and the rest of the areas were just sent to open up roads. I will give you a map of the roads when I go back, and when I send someone to deliver food, remember to add a message to you.

When my men have opened the way, they will lead the way for the grain teams of other provinces to carry grain, and when they reach the place I have designated, they will no longer take them down, and when your hand arrives, they can come to the nearest disaster relief. The specific details are written in the booklet, so read for yourselves! ”

Cai Cong said lightly, the three people present were dumbfounded, don't look at what Cai Cong said lightly, what kind of feat is this? Without everyone's knowledge, the food has already arrived, and they can wait for the order to provide relief.

"How did you do that? Not to mention the need for a lot of manpower and material resources, but also careful calculations, how can you have such great ability? ”

Du Ruhui said in shock, looking at Cai Cong's eyes had changed, if there was really such a big force behind Cai Cong, then I am afraid he would be left behind.

"I don't have it, but the queen mother does! As you know, the queen mother loves me very much, and I said that doing business needs to draw business roads and open up new roads, so my mother sent me talents in this area. It's been going on for half a year now, don't you think you've opened up a new path in a moment? ”

Fang Xuanling screamed in his heart, it hurts, who in the world doesn't know that the big owner of the Cai family's caravan is surnamed Huang. Still hurting you? It's a pain in money.

"But even so, some of the roads that had been opened up were covered by mudslides and had to be rebuilt. In the past two months, this group of good men under my command who have come and gone on the high mountains and dangerous terrain have also lost dozens of people, and their bereavement must be severe. ”

"You let the New Army explore the way? Are you crazy? Those people are the highest priority instructors, and now there are not enough military camps, and you actually let them die on the road? ”

Fang Xuanling shouted in surprise, Meng Baolai's eyes were about to crack when he heard this, how heroic his brothers died, who would dare to say that they were wretched?

Cai Cong picked up the porcelain pillow and smashed it at this Fang Xuanling, and the porcelain pillow shattered in response, breaking Fang Xuanling's head. He looked at Fang Xuanling and said angrily: "Immediately apologize to these fearless heroes, who dares to say that they are a wreck?" Knowing that it is death, but without hesitation to open up a way of life for the victims, you don't understand, soldiers are not only called heroes when they die on the battlefield, they die in obscurity, they are real heroes. ”

knew that it was death and did not hesitate, and no one believed it. The ancients said that a good man was not a soldier, in ancient times soldiers and bandits were the same, when have you ever seen a bandit willing to die in order to do a good deed?

Fang Xuanling solemnly straightened his body, and said to the square arch fist: "There is a spirit in the sky, forgive me for being out of the mouth without a form, and I salute you here."

"You have no words, not only should you salute them, but you also have to give an explanation to the court, the Cai family has scraped together 40,000 quintals of grain in the past six months, I want to sell it to the court at half price, just because you are talking nonsense, and now you have to collect eighty percent of the price, just because of you, the court wants to buy it at an extra thirty percent price for nothing."

Cai Cong patted the bed board and shouted loudly, Fang Xuanling's face finally changed greatly, and there was an extra thirty percent of the money! How much of an expense is that?

"Needless to say, send off!"

"Your Excellency, please." Meng Baolai also said coldly, he was smiling just now, but now his face is about to freeze.

"Remind you, there will be a plague after the catastrophe, and my Cai family can't afford to prepare so many medicinal materials, so you should plan early!"

"Medicinal herbs have already begun to be stockpiled. Alas! Farewell. ”

Du Ruhui said, shook his head and left! Zhao Zhujie and the others walked in when they were gone. looked at Cai Cong, who was still indignant, and said with a sigh: "This is a great opportunity to alleviate the contradictions between you and all parties, why should you be ruined because of a moment of anger?"

"Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, I couldn't help but think of those local officials. Those soldiers were only in their twenties, and when they wrote a letter to their families, they died generously and opened a way for the victims. What a miserable death they were! ”

"I know you're trying to warn the world, but do you know how many people you've offended by doing so?"

"I won't offend many people, this matter is a huge blow to Fang Xuanling. For the sake of Fang Xuanling's reputation, the family behind him will inevitably take out money to fill this gap. Cai Cong, why are you bothering! ”

Li Gang walked in slowly and said to Cai Cong with a sigh. When Cai Cong first returned to Chang'an, he warned Cai Cong not to act too aggressively in the carriage, Cai Cong listened, but unfortunately he couldn't control his temper.

"Master Li, you are here, you have also seen it, they don't treat soldiers as human beings at all. I don't think I'm happy to look at it, and I always want to change something. ”

Li Gang kindly touched Cai Cong's head and said softly: "Since the first time I met you, the old man knew that you were different from us, what a magical power of prophetic sense?" But the old man wants to tell you that the prophetic sense is the favor of God for you, not the shackles given to you by God. You don't have to take everything you know as a burden, and you don't have to take the unpleasant, painful things that happen as your fault just because you see them. You'll get more and more tired, and you'll eventually die of exhaustion. ”

Li Gang's words were like Huang Zhong Da Lu beating on his heart, pointing directly to the place in the depths of Cai Cong that he had not noticed himself. At first, he just wanted to be a pure person, but with the passage of time, this idea has long disappeared, and his mind is full of thinking about how to change the bad things in history, just like being obsessed.
