After Wang Ning hurried to the upper reaches of the Huangjiang River to join Sun Heng, he looked at the person in front of him who was still full of ambition not long ago, but now he was like an old man in the twilight, and he was stunned for a long time before he accepted this change.

Sun Heng's health can be said to be getting worse, and if he continues like this, eighty percent will fall into the root of the disease. According to Wang Ning's thoughts, at this time, give Jiang Ning a table, and there is no reason for Du Cong's side to disagree. As far as Chung To's temperament is concerned, he has always paid attention to cultivating talents, and there is no reason for people like Sun Heng to be tired to death in office.

Sun Heng obviously rejected Wang Ning's proposal, and the two exchanged opinions on the matter of Maitreya, and then went to their own affairs.

For Wang Ning, the idea of breaking into the Maitreya Sect had to be shelved, firstly, Liu Shifang, who was the main force, was now unconscious, and secondly, after dealing with that person, they had essentially been exposed, and said that this time the matter could only be thought of in another way.

Of course, on the other hand, the Maitreya Sect at this time would not give him this opportunity, and the Maitreya Sect, which was already hiding because of the previous events, would only shrink up at this time, and it was absolutely impossible to show up. According to his thoughts, when the news of this side reached Qingxi, those people in the upper echelons of the Maitreya Sect might not be anxious to what extent, and they would probably be in a panic all day.

After all, the current Wusheng army defending Jiangning is not an ornament, it is a force that can really fight, and the last time Jiangning Navy Division Battalion plus a few Xiang troops beat them to the ground, not to mention these people who really came down from the battlefield.

Wang Ning may not need to pay attention to the affairs of Maitreya in a short time, and after meeting with the intelligence officers sent by Du Cong, within a few days, Du Cong has already allowed him to return to Jiangning.

When he left, he saw Sun Heng's sick and tuberculosis appearance, and finally just wrote a letter of peace back, so that the family knew what he was doing now, and as for himself, he stayed on Sun Heng's side, acting as a guard and running errands.

After the flood, there is a lot of waste to be rebuilt. After a few days of busyness, the victims have already made resettlements, and then they have discussed with the families about the food. It is precisely these things that make Sun Heng, who is tossed, thinner and thinner, and looks like he has few days to live.

After the three granaries in Jiangpu were empty, the Li family, as an accomplice of this flood, reached this point, there was no way out, and they could only do their best to save, as one of the most powerful people in the Li family, Li Dingchun scolded those pit fathers and relatives while running around, and it was rare to stand on the same line with Sun Heng.

It is true that the messenger he sent to Jiangning for help brought back the news that is not optimistic, and Jiangning Mansion has already taken action against the Li family.

On this day, Li Dingchun came to see Sun Heng and brought some supplements, and after the meeting, there was no tension and cynicism in the past.

In the temporary shed, the host and guest sat down, without making any detours, Sun Heng looked at Li Dingchun with a look of hope: "What do the two families say?"

Li Dingchun was a lobbyist before this, but his face was not very good: "Although they are also willing to make some efforts, it is a drop in the bucket for this matter."

Sun Heng was expected, but he also felt a fire in his heart, and then got up and took a letter from the back of the bookcase, handed it to Li Dingchun, and said coldly: "This year's autumn flood is serious, several cities have been flooded in the north, hundreds of thousands of people have been displaced, and all ferries along the Yangtze River have been blocked......

Sun Heng said this, Li Dingchun was already watching, and the color behind him gradually became solemn.

Sun Heng said: "If the people in the north can't come, it's still a good thing for the south for the time being, but if they can't be resettled over there, there will be chaos, if there is chaos, when the time comes, for the south, it will be no less than a big flood......" Sun Heng looked at Li Dingchun with a solemn look and said lightly, "But what is it that keeps them from messing?" It's food. As long as they have something to eat, they will not think about chaos, and even if some people are bewitched, it will not break out into large-scale civil unrest. ”

Li Dingchun put away the letter, looked at Sun Heng, and said tentatively: "Then how is the north now?"

"Huh...... Most of the grain in the north is transported from the southern regions, and there may have been some reserves in previous years, but this year, in the previous summer flood, the people affected by the disaster were no less than this time. "Good Chinese

Li Dingchun said: "In this way, the imperial court is about to transfer grain from the south?"

Sun Heng nodded, got up again, coughed a few times, and when he arrived at the bookcase, he took another letter and handed it to Li Dingchun.

Li Dingchun looked at him suspiciously, then opened the letter and read it, and then jumped up directly, the fat on his face trembled, and a layer of fine sweat had already appeared on his forehead.

"My lord, this?"

Sun Heng nodded and reminded: "The two warehouses in Yongji and Ningxi in Jiangpu were originally for the north to reserve grain."

"This ......" Li Dingchun's head was stunned, and he almost fainted.

Sun Heng said: "Only the prefect knows about the empty warehouse this time, which means that it has not been stabbed to the transfer envoy Tian yet...... However, we don't have much time. ”

Li Dingchun knew what this meant, and his face was sad: "Two granaries, that's 200,000 stone grain, and the letter said that they will come to transport grain in seven days, this ...... This, how can we make up enough. ”

Sun Heng said: "There are many places in the south that are richer than Jiangpu, and it is unknown whether they will be transferred from other places after seven days."

Li Dingchun didn't think this was comforting, and at this point, he could only fight for it as much as he could, so he said: "200,000 stone is the amount of three years, just seven days, even if it is not enough time to buy grain and liquid from other places, my lord, see if you can reduce some ......."

Sun Heng said: "I don't count if I say this." After coughing a few times, he breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "What's more, Jiangpu is also a hard-hit area now, and it also needs food."

Li Dingchun was helpless, and said: "Xiaguan will go to discuss with those two families, and ask the adults to help deal with it, and Xiaguan will promise to make up 100,000 stone of grain within seven days."

"Help? How can I help? ”

Li Dingchun said: "Jiangpu is affected by the disaster, and food is also needed, can you use this reason to ......?"

Sun Heng was stunned for a while, and said lightly: "If I can really do it, I will definitely do it, and I hope that Master Li will not fool around."

"Don't dare, don't dare ......"

After a few polite words, Li Dingchun walked out, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and felt really miserable, but finally saw a glimmer of light.

However, it was not long before this hope was ruthlessly destroyed.

When he saw Sun Heng again, Li Dingchun didn't even want the last trace of dignity, and just after stepping into Sun Heng's bamboo shed, he knelt down with a puff and couldn't cry.
