The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

When they came, everyone looked at each other and said secretly in their hearts.

Who is not a human spirit among those present? Hearing this, they basically already know the following.

Sure enough, Zhang Yun's next words verified their judgment, "Everyone, everyone has seen the situation in Guangzhou City, the more and more disaster victims in the city gather, and the city of Guangzhou is becoming more and more chaotic.

If this continued, it would have been certain that these victims would have made a fuss with no rice in their stomachs.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Ben Jiang, it was a matter of the Guangzhou Governor's Yamen and the Governor's Palace.

However, the Governor's Office Whip was out of reach, and the Governor's Yamen was unable to handle it, so he had no choice but to entrust Ben with full authority to deal with these disaster relief matters in the future.

And Ben Jiang has no money, no food, he is both a martial artist and a poor ghost, and disaster relief is a yellow flower girl on a sedan chair for this official - the first time.

What to do?

Ben was helpless to think of you, and I implore you to tide over the difficulties together. ”

Hearing this, the surrounding businessmen snorted secretly in their hearts, and sure enough, this garrison lord who came out of nowhere really came here.

The atmosphere on the second floor was very eerie, time seemed to stop at this moment, and there was silence all around. Looking at the cold venue, Zhang Yun's eyebrows gradually raised, and his face gradually became difficult to look at.

After a long time, a businessman in his forties, wearing a purple satin jacket and a square scarf on his head, was instructed by Boss Qiu and asked:

"We already know about the victims in Guangzhou, but the grass people are small businesses, and the small profits are really powerless!

It would be nice to have a guard in charge now, but I wonder what the adults want me to do? ”

Listening to this businessman's words, the anger in Zhang Yun's heart was even worse, and a sneer broke out on the corner of his mouth. When death is on the verge of death, they still think about it, I really don't know what they think?

My brother once said that businessmen value profit over affection, this is their virtue since ancient times, where will they care about the life and death of the victims?

They enjoyed the favor of the court and the people, owned a large amount of fertile land without paying taxes, and could spend a lot of money for a beautiful plaything.

But when the people needed them, they were reluctant to take a copper plate to help those who needed it, and this has been the case for 5,000 years.

The elder brother said that only by using bloody thunderbolts can they be frightened and made them feel the power of the people.

Zhang Yun's cold eyes scanned the audience, and then said in a cold voice: "I was ordered by the Governor's Mansion and the Governor's Yamen to collect the victims, but there was no food, so I had to borrow food from everyone.

The general's request is very simple, each household present will pay 500 stone of grain, and the porridge shed that has been opened will be halved. ”

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

"What? Five hundred stone grain? ”

As soon as Zhang Yun's words fell, all the people on the second floor of the Drunken Immortal Residence jumped up, and a gentry who was over half a hundred years old was excited and even ignored the basic etiquette, pointed at Zhang Yun's nose and shouted:

"General Zhang, do you know how much grain is five hundred stones? That's more than 50,000 catties of food, why don't you grab it if you let us donate so much food with one sentence? ”

"That is, how is it possible for me to donate 500 stone of food to those mud legs?"

"Isn't this garrison crazy for silver, hehe...... Does he really think of himself as the governor? ”

……

The merchants on the second floor who originally wanted to take some silver taels or dozens of stones of grain to send Zhang Yun away, were shocked by his lion's big mouth.

When they heard this, they either sneered, or disdain, or angry, in short, all kinds of negative emotions were displayed on their faces.

In the face of all kinds of stunned eyes and whispers around him, Zhang Yun ignored it as if he didn't see it, and just said to himself:

"Due to the urgency of the disaster, I hope that you can see you bringing food in front of the governor's yamen tomorrow afternoon, otherwise it will not be good if it provokes a civil uprising."

Zhang Yun said this sentence lightly, as if he was saying something inconsequential.

And the answer to him was naturally a burst of disdain and a secret sneer, and the merchants who had planned to donate a dozen or twenty stones of grain before coming here also changed their minds.

decided to teach this arrogant garrison a lesson, Guangzhou City is not his Dengzhou Guard, the water here is deep.

At this time, a gentry took the lead, and he took the lead in standing up and said, "General Zhang, the old man is not strong enough to drink, so he will leave first." ”

After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and left on the spot.

Originally, it was a false greeting, but now that someone has taken the lead, some people don't even bother to do the superficial work of false affection, and some people arch their hands towards Zhang Yun and walk towards the stairs.

Zhang Yun didn't stop him, just stood in the hall and watched them leave coldly, and after a while, more than twenty merchants and gentry walked almost away, leaving only a few three or five people.

"General Zhang, the situation is urgent, don't wait until tomorrow, Xiaomin will go home and make arrangements, how about the general send someone to go back with me to carry it?"

A wealthy businessman in his sixtieth year, under Zhang Yun's gaze, took the lead and walked to the table, Shi Li said.

Don't take everyone for fools, these people are smart people in front of you.

Yes, Zhang Yun is a five-rank garrison general, if this is his true identity and a guest army in his province, it may really have no weight.

However, the presence of Master Wang from the Governor's Yamen can actually explain some problems.

However, some people are so short-sighted, or feel that their background is different, there is no need to act on the spot, let alone give face to a little general, what can you do to me?

In fact, it is impossible to use polished rice for disaster relief, and the use of brown rice is already considered to be benevolent. At present, one stone of brown rice on the market is about one or two dollars, and five hundred stones is about six thousand lines of silver.

And the people in the field can be remembered by Governor Liang, and then invited over, this few thousand taels of silver is really not in their eyes.

To put it mildly, they spend more than that in the Playground at a time, so why bother?

Zhang Yun stood up, raised the wine in his glass, and said to these people sincerely:

"Please sit down and have a drink, and get to know each other again, this will be the acting brother Lord Qin Du and the hungry and cold victims outside to thank you for your high righteousness and help, and there will be rewards in the future."

No matter what their motives are, or their own vision or character, if they can respond to their own call, Zhang Yun cannot be lazy, and he cannot treat everyone equally, so as not to chill everyone's enthusiasm for goodness.

My brother said that there must be a reward for paying, and Zhang Yun deeply agreed.

After training and polishing, Zhang Yun has grown up and understands that the interests of the world are in the cycle of entry and exit, gain and loss.

Sometimes, the trade-off between gains and losses is the most humane.

Therefore, tonight, Zhang Yun deliberately did not report the name of his brother Qin Dadu, and this is exactly the purpose.

The big waves wash the sand, and good and evil are rewarded, which is one of the purposes of Zhang Yun's action this time.

Guangzhou is already in the brother's bag, whether it is officialdom or shopping malls, there must be a reshuffle, and this disaster relief may as well be used as a whetstone to polish people's hearts.

The five businessmen present were overjoyed, and it seemed that they had good intentions and would have gains. It is to verify the old saying that being convenient with others is convenient with oneself.

It's just that this harvest is really significant, and with the words of Qin Du's brother, it is conceivable that they will definitely gain something in the business field in the future.

After all, as businessmen, they know too well how much power the feudal officials of the two provinces have.
