Chapter 268: Clever Use of Strategies to Earn Relief Food

Although Han Xin's humiliation spread all over the township, the local pavilion chief did not refuse Han Xin to live in his home, and the reason is also conceivable, Han Xin has always been taken care of by Pingnanhou, and the relationship is naturally not ordinary, and the pavilion chief also takes a fancy to this, so he keeps Han Xin at home and provides three meals a day.

But after a long time, the pavilion chief's wife was very disgusted with this matter, Ping Nanhou was only funded because Han Xin's family was poor, and now after many years, as a big official, how could he remember such a small thing.

Coupled with Han Xin's previous humiliation under his crotch, if he was known by Ping Nanhou, he would also sneer at him, treating Han Xin so well, it would inevitably be worth the loss.

When the pavilion chief heard his wife's words, he was also uncertain in his heart, and he always felt that the relationship between Han Xin and Lu Yan was not ordinary, otherwise he would not have personally guarded his mother's spirit.

However, after many years, Han Xin's family property was stolen, even the local county order did not care much, presumably Pingnanhou had forgotten him, so the pavilion chief discussed with his wife, temporarily took Han Xin at home, lived in the grass house next door, and provided meals every day.

Han Xin was placed in a grass house at the beginning, and three meals could still be provided, but after a long time, he did not hear the message of Pingnan Hou, and the pavilion chief did not care about Han Xin, and sometimes did not give him food for many days.

Han Xin also knew about this matter, and when he saw that the pavilion chief had no intention of taking him in, he turned around and returned to his hometown, living by fishing, and did not often deal with people.

This time, Lu Yan came from Xianyang, and he also heard about Han Xin's humiliation under his crotch, but he didn't expect it to be even more popular at that time than now, and it was simply an entertainment topic at that time.

Hu Hai Gongzi sat on the carriage, and Lu Yan must be the groom, these are almost all things that are taken for granted, "Ziyu, you said that we travel so easily, will others pay attention to it?" ”

Hearing the questioning of the prince of Hu Hai in the back, Lu Yan looked to the side with some frowns, there were a total of fifty cavalrymen in the two columns, all of whom were ordered by Yingzheng to protect Hu Hai, of course, for the sons, a thousand escorts are considered normal.

"Don't worry, Childe, I'm about to go to Huaiyin, which is the largest county seat in Surabaya County, I will send someone to place you comfortably, and I will run errands here, as long as you don't cause trouble." Lu Yan said helplessly.

"Didn't my father order you to take me to inspect the people? If you let me live well and eat well, how can you understand the suffering of the people? Hu Hai said with some guilt in the car.

Lu Yan was very surprised when he heard this, could it be that this Hu Hai Gongzi had already learned from me for so many years, so he immediately stopped and glanced at Hu Hai in the car.

"Childe, do you want to work in the county with me and spend frugally?" The words are full of anticipation.

Hu Hai immediately shook his head, "Ziyu misunderstood, what this son meant, you should give me more money, I want to wander around, so as to reward those poor people, and to gain a reputation." ”

"You soldiers, you must be optimistic about the prince of Huhai, if there is a slight mistake, take you is asking, and the son since entering Huaiyin County, he has to play in the county, and is not allowed to go to the suburbs, so as not to cause trouble, all the money is on the son, if it is not enough, you come to make up, but if I find out that you take the people's belongings without permission, no money, all in accordance with military law." Lu Yan said that, and immediately rode his horse to Huaiyin County.

The soldiers next to him all nodded immediately, even when Hu Hai heard this, he had to sigh, "Ziyu is really unreasonable." Lu Yan was helpless after hearing this, so he took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Hu Hai.

"That's all right, give the beauty of jade, don't mess around with Hu Hai Gongzi." Hu Hai took the jade pendant, his heart was overjoyed, and he immediately put it in his sleeve, pretending to be calm.

The two came to Huaiyin City at noon, and forty soldiers stayed in the inn to protect the safety of Huhai Gongzi, while Lu Yan personally took ten captains and rushed to Huaiyin County Government.

At this moment, the city learned that the Marquis of Pingnan was coming, and everyone went out to watch it, but Han Xin, knowing that he had suffered the shame of his crotch, couldn't bear to see Lu Yan, for fear of insulting his reputation.

Lu Yan was anxious about the matter of adjusting food, where did he have time to visit Han Xin, so he had to discuss it later, and the Huaiyin County Order did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly went out to greet him without a crown, which was very respectful.

Above the palace, Lu Yan was in the first place, the county order and the three elders were among them, the atmosphere was slightly embarrassing, and the county order first stepped forward to serve tea, "Master Hou, there are no people who have moved away from the suburbs of this county, only lack of food." ”

Lu Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, this old boy was really sleek, and before he could speak, he first explained the situation in the county, "Let me ask you, how much food is lacking in this Huaiyin County, and how much is there a shortage of food in Surabaya County, you may estimate it?" ”

When the county order was asked, he was terrified, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he hurriedly looked at the three elders next to him, and one of the rank elders immediately got up when he saw this.

"Qiyu Pingnan Hou, Huaiyin County is short of 10,000 stones, and there are three counties in Surabaya County, so the grain needs about 40,000 stones, I don't know if Hou Ye can do it?" The old man said slowly.

"Then dare to ask how much food a person can eat, and how much food does a county order all officials need?" Lu Yan then asked, and all the officials didn't know what he meant.

The old man continued to reply: "One person has more than two stones of grain in winter, and one county orders fifty stones a month, that's all." ”

Lu Yan listened to it and nodded slightly, "What Elder Rank said is reasonable, come here, search out all the excess food in the county order and the three old families, fill the vacancy first, and then repay it in the coming year." ”

The soldiers next to him were a little dazed after hearing this, but how could they dare to disobey Lu Yan's decree and immediately go separately to search for food, and when the county order saw this, he had to kneel down and beg Lu Yan for mercy.

"Lord County Commander, fellow villagers, now that the country is in trouble, what is the use of hiding private grain, if you donate it to the country, it will be sent in the coming year, and it will be worry-free." Lu Yan said very indifferently.

Several county officials did not dare to refute Lu Yan's words, but they felt very uncomfortable in their hearts, as an official, they were still exploited, and this account must be settled.

Imagine that the higher-level officials pressed the lower-level officials to pay the grain, and the lower-level officials were resentful and did not dare to offend the superiors, so they naturally needed to be squeezed, and the people were the objects of relief, so it was difficult to start, so they had to blackmail the businessmen and let them pay the grain, so as to satisfy their feelings of being forced to pay grain.

Although Lu Yan's strategy is insidious, at least the person who was scolded by the rich businessmen who handed over the grain was not Pingnanhou, but Huaiyin County Order, but the local people praised Pingnanhou.

After arranging many matters in the county, Lu Yan remembered Han Xin in the alley, and now Han Xin was humiliated by his crotch, and he didn't know how much he was feeling, so he had to be comforted by good words.
