Savior! What an absolute savior!

Min Xian even wanted to hug Liu Cuo directly and kiss him fiercely, he had heard of Mr. Liu, but he had not seen it, and a few little rabbit cubs in his family were even stranger.

But this did not arouse Min Xian's suspicions, and no one dared to lie to him on such a thing.

"I wonder how much surplus grain you have? It's better for the county to prepare in advance! Min Xian forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked.

"Let's not say that there are three or four thousand stones, I don't know the specifics, the little brother is counting, and after the county brings people over, you can know." As for how much food is still stored at home, Liu Cuo really doesn't know very well.

In and out, he had only looked at the account books once a few months ago, and who knows how much was left now?

"Good! The Liu family is worthy of being a benevolent and righteous family in Jingyang, so the national disaster is at the head, the Liu family is the first to stand up and help, this county will definitely write a letter, play Yongzhou Mansion, and praise the Liu family! Hearing that there were about three or four thousand stones, Min Xian finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the smile on his face could no longer be hidden.

Three or four thousand stone of grain is not much, but it is also a lot, according to the current rate, these three or four thousand stone grain can make Jingyang use two or three months.

And in the next two or three months, I can think of some other ways to solve it.

If you save a little more, it will not be a problem to rely on these three or four thousand stone of grain for four months.

The government's relief is not the kind of relief that lasts three meals a day, and everyone knows that there is a shortage of food, not only for the people, but also for the government.

Therefore, in the past few months, the government has been giving porridge once a day at noon, one bowl per person.

In the county seat, the county government is in charge of the unified responsibility, and the farther villages will distribute the same amount of grain one day in advance, and the closer ones will be distributed in the morning of the same day.

A bowl of porridge can be carried through a day.

It's a hard time, but it's not like there's no food left in the people's homes.

Many people take this bowl of porridge home, add some water to dilute it, and change it into two meals to satisfy their stomachs, while their own food is no longer able to bear, and they take it out and eat some.

Relying on this method, the people of Jingyang County have had a difficult time for several months.

"Laifu, quickly introduce Liu Gongzi into the mansion to rest for a while, so that he can wait!" Min Xian hurriedly instructed the housekeeper, then turned his head to look at the master and said, "Jingzhi, go and contact the garrison, borrow some carriages from them, it's best to borrow some more people, let's try to go to Liu's house to bring back the grain as soon as possible." ”

"Don't panic in the county, the grain is in the warehouse, it doesn't matter if it's early or late, since it's decided to take it out, the Liu family won't regret it." Liu Cuo, who was about to enter the yamen to rest, turned around and comforted Min Xian.

Although people are not very smart and a little old-fashioned, they are not the kind of scourge that can be called a scourge.

Before going out, Liu Shan specially reminded himself of some things, which Liu Cuo couldn't imagine, but after being reminded, he could do it at this time.

"The virtuous nephew doesn't know, the grain in the warehouse has almost bottomed out, this day the grain does not enter the official warehouse, not only I am uneasy, the people will also be uneasy, this day earlier will transport the grain into the official warehouse, how much is counted, at least it can play a role in calming people's hearts." The Liu family was the first to send food to help Min Xian solve his urgent needs, and Rao was Min Xian, who was selfless and unkind in the past, and he also showed a close attitude at this moment.

As the saying goes, adversity sees the truth, no matter what the purpose of the Liu family is this time, this great favor must be continued, which is the most basic way of life.

……

Thousands of stone of grain is not a small amount, two hundred garrisons, plus more than forty carriages, as well as more than fifty carriages and five hundred people mobilized by Min Xian from the city, can barely gather a hundred carriages, Rao is so, can not transport all these grains in one trip.

The huge team left Jingyang County and went straight to Liu's house, thirty miles west of the county seat.

When I arrived at Liu's house, it was basically afternoon.

In front of Liu's house at the moment, it is bustling and a lively scene.

"This is ......" Min Xian felt as if he had been fooled, how did Nima say that he would donate food become a grain release? There was a little unhappiness in his heart, but on the surface, he could only look at Liu Cuo in confusion.

"My father said that all the food in the family has been donated, and if the food is still insufficient in the future, the people from other villages can still go to the master's house to borrow food, but our Liu family has no food, what should these people do when the time comes? So this time, I plan to take advantage of the fact that before the grain is donated, I will send a bucket of grain to everyone in the village to prepare, which can be regarded as fulfilling some responsibilities of the main family. Liu Cuo knew that Min Xian would ask about this, so he took out the wording that had been prepared a long time ago.

In fact, the choice to release grain at this time was also prepared by Liu Shan in advance, just to let the government see this matter.

Donating grain, the Liu family has offended a large number of landlords without moving traces, if they can't settle down in the government, then the Liu family may only consider moving north of the town.

"I see, Liu Gong is really a universal heart, I am ashamed of myself!" Min Xian blamed himself with some shame.

didn't figure out what happened, so I counted the people in my heart, and now I was slapped in the face, although no one knew, but I couldn't get over this hurdle in my heart.

Liu Shan handed over the task of distributing the grain to the others, while he himself took out the prepared materials and waited quietly for the arrival of the team.

The large army did not enter the village, Liu Cuo took Min Xian, an officer and a few soldiers into the village.

Liu Shan hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, handed over the information in his hand, and said without the slightest arrogant expression on his face: "Xiaomin Liu Shan has seen Min Xianzun, my father is slightly tired because of his age, and he is resting at home at this time. ”

"It doesn't matter! Anyway! Liu Gong is old, let him rest well, I can't leave here for a while, and after Liu Gong wakes up, I will go to visit him in person! Min Xian hurriedly stopped Liu Shan from waking up Liu's father, people have no arrogance, and Min Xian, the county commander, has no bureaucratic atmosphere, and he can't get up as a bureaucrat.

……

"Donated nearly 4,000 stones?"

A touch of red in the green bushes, when all parts of the country were in an emergency, Jingyang County came with good news.

All the landlords waited for the official warehouse to be in an emergency, and then they relayed the official warehouse to help the people, so as to make a lot of money from it.

Like the Liu family, who donated nearly 4,000 stone of grain in one go, it was the first time in the ages.

After personally consulting the roster and counting the warehouse, after Min Xian returned to Jingyang County, he immediately wrote this letter and sent it to Yongzhou Mansion.

If it were normal times, Li Daozong would definitely think that the Liu family must have committed something and wanted to donate food to protect themselves.

But at this moment, Li Daozong didn't dare to delay, and directly came to the palace with Min Xian's recital.

"Yes, to be precise, it should be 3,800 stones, the Liu family originally wanted to leave 200 stones for their own use, but Min Xian, the leader of Jingyang County, felt embarrassed, and he didn't ask for a fraction of the 3,800 stones, and left them to the Liu family. According to Min Xian Songshu, before donating grain, the Liu family once gave a bucket of grain to the people in the village as a backup. Li Daozong continued, he was the only one who had seen the music in his hand, and he was the only one who knew the situation best.

"Take it to me!" Three thousand eight hundred stone is the smallest figure Li Yuanji has heard during this time, but this is income, not food.

For the whole country, this grain is not enough to stuff the teeth, but for Jingyang County, it is life-saving food.

It is written more clearly on the song, and Min Xian naturally will not only report the fact that someone donated food.

At the same time as the report, he also gave a general explanation of the situation of the Liu family.

Old man Liu is over sixty years old, and he has a good stroke in the village on weekdays, the eldest son Liu Cuo, who is mediocre in nature, but there is nothing wrong with it, belongs to the type of decent, the second son Liu Ju, has an exaggerated personality, likes to bully others, and is a famous second ancestor in ten miles and eight towns, and Old Man Liu has a headache.

The youngest son, Liu Shan, is intelligent by nature, free and good at reading, and has participated in the last imperial examination, but did not pass the first round of tests.

If it weren't for the lack of rank, Min Xian's performance would be more like a letter of recommendation to the imperial court to promote talents.

"This Liu family is not simple!" After reading this letter, my intuition told Li Yuanji that the Liu family had a lot of plans, but he liked this kind of smart person.

If you control it well, this kind of person is very easy to use, of course, if you don't use it well, you will also hurt yourself.

Fang Xuanling also took the letter and read it, and his opinion was almost the same as Li Yuanji's.

This operation is too familiar, but it can also be seen that the person who operates this matter is not a simple guy, and if he is guided, he will definitely be a good official in the future.

It was quickly passed on to several other people, and all those present were people who were going to enter the cabinet in the future, and they were running here these days when they had nothing to do, wanting to rub off on the heat.

"In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures should be performed!" Du Ruhui, who has been meticulous and tidying up the military department, suddenly spoke.

All grievances have become a thing of the past, and the remaining problems are something that everyone has to face together.

continued: "The minister thinks that His Majesty should crown the Liu family as the son of Jingyang County as a reward!" ”

"The county? Just 3,800 stone grains, can you seal the child? If this matter spreads, how will the people of the world perceive it? Wei Zheng fully demonstrated his role as a villain, and he was always the first to jump out and sing the opposite.

But it's not that everything is against the tune, 3,800 stone grain, even if the court wants to reward them, just give them a nine-grade or eight-grade official position, and directly give it to a county on the fifth grade, and it's not a war merit, why? It's not in accordance with the rules.

Li Yuanji responded lightly: "At this time and that time, if you can use the title of a county to drive landlords from all over the country to take the initiative to donate grain, why worry about the drought now?" Xuan Ling, the intention is ......"
