Chen Cong or Xiapi Chen, this time is also bitter and unspeakable. At that time, Chen Qiu's involvement in the killing of the eunuchs was obviously calculated, and in the end, the entire Chen family was implicated.

In order to get rid of such a status quo, Chen Yu had to take refuge in Yuan Valve, which was equivalent to Chen's bowing to Yuan.

As a result of bowing his head, only three generations of Chen Deng became the magistrate of Dongyang County, and the world seems to have forgotten Chen Cong, Chen Yu and Chen Qi. If this continues, there seems to be no other possibility for the Chen clan than to be forever attached to Yuan Valve.

Finding another way out, this is what Chen Cong must consider and plan to do. The Li family has just risen, and there is only one Li Ming in the family, maybe Xun Cai's unborn child is counted as one, but what if it is a girl? Therefore, it is impossible for the Li family to override the Chen family, and in turn, the Li family, which lacks talents, the Chen family can basically sit on an equal footing with him, and there is nothing to worry about!

"Since my brother has made up his mind, then Han Yu will continue to stay in the ancestral house!" Chen Qi is Chen Cong's brother in the end, and he is also a rare smart person, and he will no longer stop him when he hears the words.

"Lord Taishou is looking for the Lu family, it should be for the problem of food and grass, right? I heard that more than 100,000 people have moved to Huiji County, and it is estimated that a lot of grain and grass are needed...... Most of my Chen's grain has been handed over to the Lu family for sale, and there are still 4,000 stone of grain left at home for emergencies. If the adult needs it, he will give the adult 2,000 stone of food! As an elder in the family, Chen Cong directly waved his hand and sent out 2,000 stone of grain.

According to the market price, it is almost 500 yuan worth of grain, but Chen Cong gave it out without blinking an eye. Li Ming planned to spend money to buy it, but Chen Cong resolutely refused to let it, and after pushing it three times, Li Ming had to accept Chen's feelings.

After staying at Chen's house for one night, the first batch of sea fish was brought back the next afternoon, along with more than 20 sea crabs.

"Yes, yes, these sea fish are of good quality!" Li Ming nodded, these sea fish and sea crabs were all transported back with seawater according to his method, but the freshness was guaranteed to the greatest extent.

Ancient times are ancient times, even if these sea fish are close to the coast, they are very fat, and they cannot be caught in the deep sea area in later generations.

I saw Li Ming's 'smack' a few times, and the sea fish was cut into, and naturally a maidservant girl prepared soy sauce, and even grinded some ginger puree into it according to Li Ming's meaning.

"The taste is really good, much better than river fish! The meat is firm, but to have this taste, the knife skills of adults are also the key! Chen Cong took a sip and praised it without hesitation.

"If all the fish in the sea are of this quality, then it is okay not to eat the fish in the river!" Chen Jue also nodded, after eating the fish of the sea fish, the river fish was slightly inferior.

After eating sea fish meat, they naturally also tasted crab meat, so Chen Qi and Chen Cong can be sure that this seafood business may really be profitable. Whether it is fresh or dry goods, there is no need to worry about no buyers when they are shipped to the mainland.

On the third day, Li Ming began to return to Huiji County, and at this time, he was already followed by more than 500 family members, and of course Chen Ying and Lu Su were also with him. Chen Cong went to Luoyang for activities, and it was not until this time that Li Ming knew that the Chen family still had connections in Luoyang, and it was really simple to get the official position of the county order of Damo, after all, no one really wanted to go.

As for whether the county magistrate is still in office, this question is not a problem at all, and there is no need for Li Ming to make a black hand, there are means to let the magistrate of Damo get out of the way.

"Is this the essence of the old family?" Along the way, Li Ming looked at the family and food behind him and couldn't help but ponder.

The five hundred families followed Chen Cong to the end of the wasteland in the early stage, and their families will also go over in the future. More than 3,000 people will pass over one after another, which is only half of all the families of the Chen family in Xiapi, after all, the fields here in Xiapi also need manpower. However, according to the actual situation, displaced people will be recruited in other places in the future, and there will be no shortage of displaced people this year.

"These are nominally tenants, but they are all private property. If you don't worry about other people's gossip, it's still no problem to recruit 10,000 people. Wealthy families like Yuan Valve, Yang Valve, Huang Valve, Li Valve, and Wang Valve, the size of the family often reaches more than 30,000 or 40,000 people, but they are scattered to the estates in various places, which is inconspicuous. Chen Cong explained.

"Speaking of which, we also have 2,000 tenants, and at its peak there were 3,000. If martial arts and exercises are the hard power of the family, then food and population are the basis of the family's strength. Lu Su added.

Damn rich people...... Li Ming couldn't help but complain.

If you think about it, you don't seem to have any position to blame others...... There are more than 1,000 Ding in their own family, most of them are still in the army, and a few are working in Zhuangzi and workshops. In these years, it was easy to recruit family members, and many people sold themselves if they could eat without starving to death.

Five days later, the group returned to San'in County. Two thousand stones of grain were directly put into storage, and by the way, I found Xun Biao to understand the whereabouts of the first batch of grain. After all, when I came back to open a warehouse, it turned out that the entire warehouse was empty.

"I really didn't expect that Riyao would be able to get back so much grain ......" Xun Biao opened the account book of income and expenditure and handed it to Li Ming, "According to your meaning, more than sixty percent of the people have migrated to Yuji to the end of the line to open up wasteland and pave roads; Sancheng migrated to settle down on the seashore in Yixian and Yinxian counties, and sent fishermen and boatmen to guide them in weaving nets and building ships.

Forty percent of the previous grain was transported to Yuji County as a means of receiving and transiting displaced people; Zhuji and Wusheng respectively transported half of the grain, and Damo transported two percent of the grain. The remaining 10 percent was transported to Yixian and Yinxian counties as rations for the displaced people in the early stage, and the food problem could be greatly alleviated as the seafood was salvaged later. ”

"So there's no food left here in San'in?" Li Ming was a little depressed.

"The person you sent back has already explained that there will be a batch of food arriving in the future, so I discussed with Zhicai and Shenyan, and set aside ten days for food emergency. If necessary, a group can be transferred back from Yuji County, but this will affect the collection of refugees who have moved south.

I didn't expect Riyao to be able to get back so much grain, so I planned to divide it into four parts, and transport them to Shangyu, Yuyao and Juzhang for 300 stone each, and the rest to stay in Shanyin, what does Riyao think? Xun Biao pointed to the account book and said, while Xi Zhicai and Zhang Mo on the side also nodded. Okay, everything was arranged so well by Xun Biao, what else can Li Ming say?

"By the way, the Yu clan sent Yu over, and he has been waiting for a long time, and it seems that he has something urgent to say. If you don't feel tired, you might as well go and see it. Peng Fei caused trouble in Zhuji County, and directly provoked the Yu family. Xun Biao closed the account book, and then said solemnly to Li Ming.

"What's the situation?" Li Ming frowned, the Yu family is in Yuyao County, and Xiao Yao is the county lieutenant in Zhuji County, how can he have a relationship with the Yu family? Having said that, I still met Yu in the past.

The latter obviously knew that Li Ming was returning, so he had been waiting for most of the day, and when he saw Li Ming coming in, he hurriedly saluted.

"Politeness is waived, what is the situation? If Pengfei really does something wrong, I won't bend the law! Li Ming said.

"The problem is a bit heavy, Yu's sister was abducted by Xiao Yao and has already ......married in the Zhuji Chapel," Yu said with a wry smile.

"Huh?" Li Ming was directly stunned when he heard this.
