Chapter 397: Calculated
"That's good, that's good, it's really good......" This old thorn history, who is also a lot old, was a little incoherent with joy.
"Oh, by the way, only one person came to greet him, it was really a snub to General Lin, and the other colleagues were busy with disaster relief, so they really didn't have time to take a break, so this old man couldn't help much, so I was here eagerly looking forward to your arrival, and I would see the food as soon as possible, so I could rest assured as soon as possible.
I snubbed the general, I hope forgive me! ”
Shi Tingshi watched the continuous packed grain being moved down from the ship and handed over to those local laborers who were eager to wear it, and under the supervision of local soldiers and officials, it was transported all the way to Dengzhou City, and a stone in his heart fell to the ground, so he had the heart to talk to Lin Sen about the scene.
"Lang Jun, don't say that, disaster relief is important, the kid understands it very well, and he respects Lang Jun very much, like Lang Jun is so high-spirited, and his parents who love the people like a son are really the only ones in the kid's life." Lin Sen said with admiration on his face.
To say that the Shi family is definitely a local surname, and this Shi Shi has been sitting in the position of Dengzhou Assassin for a long time, as early as the third year of Wude, Wang Shichong also ruled this territory, at that time it was this Shi Shi Juzhou surrendered, such a family should be in the local area to imagine how extravagant.
To say that the floods in the past two years can affect ordinary people, and the difficulties that make most people live are relatively limited for him and his family. But it can be said that it is not easy for him to care about the situation under his rule so much, and to worry about the current situation.
"Haha, that can only mean that the general has seen too few officials, and there are more parents and officials in the Tang Dynasty who are better than the old and decayed." Shi Tingshi couldn't help but touch his messy beard, and laughed heartily, obviously still very happy by Lin Sen's heartfelt praise.
The greetings were almost over, and it was obvious that the food would not be able to be moved for a while and a half, and Shi Tingshi probably also saw the food and had confidence in his heart, and even proposed to take Lin Sen to Dengzhou City for a walk.
Dengzhou City is close to Dengzhou Port, which makes the entire Dengzhou Port have no worries, and it can be regarded as taking care of military needs, and it will be more convenient to attack and defend, so it will be more convenient to enter the city from the port.
The situation here is much better than what Lin Sen expected, although people are inevitably a little confused and sad, and they also lack the high-spirited vitality they usually have, but they can't see despair or even madness.
It can be said that it is far from the scene where Lin Sen imagined that starvation was everywhere, and most of them were not even as good as beggars.
"Isn't it a little strange that we look pretty good here?" Shi Tingshi probably saw the doubts on Lin Sen's face, mainly because he was never good at hiding his thoughts, and basically showed them on his own face, at least for a guy like Shi Tingshi, who has lived a lot of years, it is easy to figure it out, as the saying goes, is it a thief to be old and not die.
"Actually, it's very simple, because we suffered a disaster here last year, and at that time, we consumed a lot of regular positions, and the old man was afraid that if the disaster continued, he organized his fathers and elders to stock up on more of this thing early." Shi Thorn Shi said as he felt two things from his arms.
"This is dried fish? And salted fish? After Lin Sen saw the two things, he couldn't help but sniffle and said with some surprise.
"That's right, General Lin is worthy of being a well-known Ding Ling, and he can see these things at a glance.
It's dried fish and salted fish. When Shi Tingshi said this, there was a little proud look on his face, although it was difficult to hold these two things to the elegant hall, but it was like holding some peerless treasure.
"Although it looks inconspicuous, the dried fish can barely satisfy the hunger, and the salted fish can be exchanged for some food, which is a very useful thing.
The reason why we were able to survive this time is that not so many people died of hunger, and no tragic events happened, these two things can be said to be a great contribution. Shi Tingshi said with a smile, but when he said the back, his tone was still a little low.
"Lang Jun is a good way, the kid admires it tightly." Lin Sen admired from the bottom of his heart, and his expression became solemn.
"Now that there is food, these people finally don't have to go hungry anymore, I really have to thank General Lin for his timely help." Shi Tingshi said gratefully to Lin Sen.
"This is what a kid should do, and he deserves to thank Lang Jun." Lin Sen hurriedly let go and showed that he didn't dare to stand it.
"It's just that under Dengzhou's rule, I'm afraid that the people's livelihood will be difficult this year, and the old man doesn't know what they can do to make a living, and he is thinking about whether to try to sell this life-saving dried fish and salted fish to Chang'an City." Shi Tingshi said to Lin Sen, just why did this give Lin Sen a cunning feeling.
"The kid believes that the people in Chang'an City will like it very much when they hear that this dried fish has saved the lives of the people in Dengzhou." Lin Sen naturally answered.
Anyway, after hearing this, Lin Sen felt that he would definitely buy some to show his support, and it would be regarded as charity.
"The old man also heard that General Lin is a kind-hearted person, why don't the general go back to Chang'an City this time, and bring a boatload of dried fish back by the way?!" Shi Tingshi turned his head and said with a smile at Lin Sen.
Yes, I dared to lead Lin Sen over for a walk, and said so many words, and held Lin Sen high, and finally waited for Lin Sen here.
"This ......" If Lin Sen still doesn't understand that he has been calculated by this good-looking old man, then he will be a mallet. But with such a calculation, it is really difficult for him to get angry.
"Then ...... A boat. Lin Sen said angrily and funny, should it be regarded as a good deed, this loss is admitted.
"Haha...... I know that General Lin is a kind-hearted person. When the time comes, General Lin will definitely be fully equipped.
By the way, at that time, I will ask General Lin to say a few more kind words in front of other nobles, so that the old man will take the dried fish to Chang'an City, but he can't sell it at all, so the father of Dengzhou will be sad. Shi Tingshi followed again, which meant that he wanted Lin Sen to help advertise more, and almost didn't let Lin Sen go there alone.
"Huh...... Kid do his best, he will do his best......" Lin Sen said a little unnaturally.
However, he really admires Shi Tingshi's shameless energy, which can be said to be really considered for those Dengzhou people, if his dried fish is really sent to Chang'an City to sell, those Zi Xungui are really embarrassed not to buy it, of course, the old man will definitely be famous at this time.
With the joint efforts of a group of wolf-like local laborers and the crew, the food of the three ships was moved in a total of not long in total.
Follow-up other ships will also come here one after another, how to arrange and dispatch is a matter of the history of the thorn, Lin Sen, who is like an arrow, sat on a big boat full of dried fish, of course, there are some local specialties of Dengzhou such as white porcelain, with the guards are ready to take a boat against the Yellow River, all the way to Chang'an.
