This should be the last heavy snow of winter, but it is even heavier than the previous wind and snow, blowing the world in a gloomy manner.

After the reconstruction work of Jiuyuan was over, Lu Bu and his family boarded the road to Ren Shuofang Taishou, he ordered Wei Xu and Cao Xing to set off half a month in advance, and set up camp in Linrong first, while Gao Shun went to Yanmen to find Zhang Liao and meet in Linrong after the beginning of spring.

Half a month later, Lü Bu led a large army to Linrong, and the county officials had already led a group of people to meet each other outside the city gate, led by Wei Xu and Linrong County Order.

Seeing that Lu Bu turned over and dismounted, the Linrong County Commander hurriedly greeted him, and said, "In Linrong County, Ling Huang is here to greet the general." ”

Lu Bu clenched his fists and returned the salute: "Huang County's order doesn't need to be polite. ”

When Huang County Ling saw Lu Bu's posture, he didn't know whether he was happy or angry, so he could only hang his head and follow Lu Bu and slowly walked into Linrong County.

A group of people gathered around Lu Bu to cross the straight road that ran through Linrong, and on both sides of the road were some people who were shivering with cold, they had a pair of dark gray eyes, they seemed to have no strength to move their eyes, and their eyes looked a little dull.

Since the beginning of autumn, there have been many strangers in Linrong counties, all of whom are refugees who have fled from various counties, the farthest from the Gaoque area, the war on the border line of the Han Dynasty is continuous, and the foreign and Han families frequently raise swords, those who can escape run to the Central Plains, and those who can't run die in military accidents.

Among the refugees who fled the chaos were children, with thin cheeks, dry arms, legs and feet, as if they were caught between two door panels, and all the skin and flesh were concave in the bones.

People's hearts!

Two words suddenly popped out of Lu Bu's mind, and he skillfully took out a string of five-baht coins from his sleeve, threw them in the air, and accurately fell into the arms of a mother holding a child.

The mother froze slightly, trembling and groping in her arms, and after touching the five baht coins, she squeezed out a smile that was sadder than crying, and said in a blocked nasal voice: "Thank you, thank you, general!" ”

More and more people gathered, and they knelt in a dense group, among which was an old beggar who leaned lazily against the wall, quietly watching Lu Bu.

The Linrong County Commander was about to let the county officials drive away the refugees who came over, but Lu Bu suddenly issued an order: "Huang County Order, open a warehouse to help the people!" ”

Huang Xianling was taken aback, and hurriedly admonished: "The general can't, the grain stored in the warehouse is all spring seeds, and you can't open a warehouse!" ”

"I said open position." Lu Bu was not angry but mighty.

Huang County Lingden was frightened and at a loss, his county order was an official bought by bribing eunuchs, he thought that the first county of Shuofang was fat, but after taking office, he knew that he was the second-in-command, and there was a Taishou Mansion in the same city.

Fortunately, he has been in business all the year round and is good at all sides, so he coaxed his predecessor Shuo Fang Taishou to be obedient, and he is in charge of all affairs in the county, including warehousing.

Every autumn harvest, most of the grain in the granary was exchanged for money by him, sent to the capital to serve as ten permanent servants, this autumn, the former Taishou was sick and returned to the west, he thought he would sit in the position of the Taishou, who knew that out of thin air jumped out of a Lu Bu.

Now I heard that Lu Bu was going to open a warehouse to help the people, and he was so frightened that he was scared away.

Wei Xu glanced at the Huang County Order, and reported: "General Qiyu, the last general has led the army since then, and wants to find the Huang County Order to ask for military rations for military use, but who expected him to shirk in every possible way, and there has been no follow-up so far!" ”

Huang Xianling was so frightened that he trembled, sweating profusely: "General, it's really for spring sowing, don't dare to get along!" ”

Lu Bu has just arrived, and he doesn't know much about Shuofang's officialdom, if he investigates the Huang County Order today, he may affect his whole body, he thought for a while, and then said in a low voice: "There is really no extra grain and grass?" ”

"Not really!" Huang Xianling replied stubbornly.

Lu Bu stared at Huang Xian Ling for a long time, and suddenly said, "Take me to the warehouse to have a look!" ”

Huang Xian Ling heard that Lu Bu was going to check the warehouse, and hurriedly stopped in the middle of the road: "General Qiqi, although there is no surplus grain in the warehouse, you can borrow it from those rich and wealthy giants, what do you think?" ”

Now even a fool can see that there must be a cat in this warehouse, and Lu Bu will not break it: "Okay, I'll give you three days, and after three days, if there is no food to help the homeless, even the treasury will have to open a warehouse." ”

Huang County ordered Rumeng to be amnestied, and said: "Then go now!" ”

Lu Bu looked at the Huang County Order who was leaving quickly, he glanced at Wei Xu, Wei Xu hurriedly ran to the center of the straight, and shouted with full anger: "Lu Tai has an order, whether it is a homeless person or a common person, you can go to the north gate to receive food in three days." ”

As soon as these words came out, the people cheered, but the old beggar leaning against the wall remained motionless, and his eyes glowed with a different look.

Lu Bu returned to the Taishou Mansion and saw that the Taishou Mansion was full of soldiers and servants inside and out, and they were arranging their household belongings in a chaotic manner, so he called Wei Xu to the official hall for questioning.

"What do you think of this Huang County Order?"

Wei Xu said bluntly: "It must be an official bought by a businessman." ”

"Even the court has a profit-seller, let alone Shuo Fang, who is far away from the Central Plains?"

Lu Bu wanted to say more, but at this time, Wei Yue came over from the front office and reported: "Lord, Huang County Ling asks to see you." ”

"Why is it here again?" Having said that, Lu Bu still raised his hand and motioned for Wei Yue to lead the way and personally went out to meet the county order.

Huang Xianling was apprehensive at this time, he really couldn't figure out Lu Bu's thoughts, and after thinking about it, he still decided to come to pay respects.

"Huang County Order, why are you here if you don't go to raise grain and grass?" Lu Bu walked out of the mansion with his fists clenched: "You must know that you only have three days." ”

"Don't dare to hide the general, grain and grass are being raised, and the lower officials don't dare to slack off."

"That's just right," Lu Bu waved his hand: "Please inside!" ”

"The lower officer doesn't dare, so please ask the general to go first."

Lu Bu stepped forward and patted his hand: "When Lu first arrived in your place, everything still has Brother Lao Huang's guidance, Brother Huang doesn't have to excuse himself, please please." ”

Huang Xian Ling heard Lu Bu say this, the stone in his heart finally fell, and when he entered the lobby, the two of them sat down according to the guest and host, and the tea was finished, Lu Bu deliberately withdrew Wei Yue and Wei Xu, and said with concern: "I look at Brother Huang for more than forty years, I don't know which year he was born in the Book of Filial Piety?" ”

Huang Xianling was embarrassed: "Xia Guan is not from filial piety, but he spent six million dollars to fund Xiyuan to get this position, and the general smiled." ”

"What's so funny about this, investing in the West Garden is also contributing to the Son of Heaven." Lu Bu's face turned pale, and he hugged his fists in the direction of Luoyang.

Huang Xian Ling heard that he was like this, and hurriedly added: "The lower officials invested in the West Garden, but they got the help of Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong, the two elders of the middle and regular servants, and they really didn't hide it. ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he became more and more kind: "It's not a secret, Lu can take on this responsibility, and it is also promoted by Lord Zhang!" ”

It turned out to be his own family, Huang Xianling was overjoyed, hurriedly took out a silk book from his sleeve, and presented it to Lu Bu with both hands: "I heard that the general has a lot of hard work in the Qiang tribe, and it is a great joy to be able to win and be promoted to be too guarded. ”

Lu Bu frowned slightly, took the gift sheet and looked at it, and said, "Brother Huang is really bankrupt." ”

"A small gift, not a tribute!" Huang Xianling lowered his eyebrows and talked eloquently.

Lu Bu took the silk book with a smile, and then said, "Brother Huang, Lu Bu has something to ask you to do." ”

"Although the general commands, how dare you use the word 'ask'?"

Lu Bu sighed and muttered: "After years of expedition, I was thirsty for blood all the way, trapped in the saddle, and the soldiers were begging from east to west, but they still couldn't eat. ”

He deliberately glanced at Huang County Order, and then said: "Today he was promoted to Shuo Fang Taishou, but only Huang County Commander is here for a certain congratulations, it is really cold, I think about it, I want to invite the six county orders to drink, wouldn't it be happy?" ”

"Oh, that's it!" Huang County Commander understood, what thirst for knife blood, sleepy in the saddle, what soldiers can't eat, this is all Lu Bu's excuse, he has a big appetite, just asking me for a bribe is not enough, the seven county orders in the county have to come to give gifts.

Huang Xian Ling thought about this, and hurriedly said: "The lower official understands, the general can rest assured, Huang will definitely do it properly, and there will be no leakage." ”
