"No, this can't be true, you can't have this preparation, and you are not immortals, how could you know that such a thing would happen in the county and prepare food......" Li Chenggang said something in his mouth, as if he was a demonic disease, he really didn't want to believe it, and he didn't want to believe what Yang Zhen said. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something again, and suddenly giggled: "You must be lying, yes, you are lying!" In addition to the grain in the hands of the government, almost all of the rest in Zhejiang has been bought by me from Xu Tongzhou, where can you buy the grain! ”

Yang Zhen looked at Li Chenggang's desperate appearance of trying to convince himself, and couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Your vision is too small, who said that we only buy grain in Zhejiang Province?" Today's great tomorrow is really rich in food is Huguang, and if I want to buy it, I should go there. ”

"What?" Li Chenggang's smug expression that he thought he had seen through Yang Zhen's lies just now instantly froze: "You go to Huguang to buy grain, and you go to Huguang ...... when you have a long way to go."

"It's because we bought grain in Huguang, so it's been more than two months, and they haven't arrived. Otherwise, you would have seen the food we bought. Yang Zhen seemed to be very interested in attacking Li Chenggang, and then added: "Actually, we had this plan as early as a few years ago. Who told you to be not secretive enough to let us know that your Li family is buying food on a large scale? ”

At this moment, Li Chenggang's heart sank completely. His years of experience in seeing people told him that Yang Zhen's calm and calm expression at the moment was by no means disguised, that is to say, the other party was indeed aware of his own changes as early as last year, so he arranged to deal with it early. This made him feel both confused and unwilling, just because the other party had been prepared, so that his final counterattack could not succeed?

As if to completely crush his confidence, Yang Zhen suddenly turned his head and said aloud to the people behind him: "Fathers and elders don't need to be anxious, although there is a shortage of food in our county now, I believe that it will not be long before this food shortage can be solved." The county lord sent people to Huguang to buy grain as early as the year after the year, and maybe in the next few days, a big ship full of grain will dock on my Puyang River wharf. ”

Li Chenggang heard him say it so blatantly, and the whole person seemed to have been drained of all his spirit, and he fell to the ground in a dejected manner. He knew very well that if the government did not have a definite certainty, it would be impossible for him to speak like this, otherwise it would only bring more harm to the people. In other words, the food shortage in Zhuji County was indeed resolved soon, and his ultimate hope was disappointed. At this moment, his only hope was that the ships carrying grain would be drowned in the river due to weather factors, but this was obviously very unrealistic.

Completely opposite to his sad expression was the expressions of the people after hearing Yang Zhen's words. They were still cursing Li Chenggang's madness just now, and they were even more worried about how to live the next few days. After suddenly hearing Yang Zhen's words, everyone's chattering and cursing suddenly stopped, and then one hundred and ten pairs of eyes looked at Yang Chen and Yang County Orders at the same time.

In the eyes of these people's simple concepts, the words of a county official cannot be believed after all, and only when the county lord personally confirms it, can they truly feel at ease.

Being stared at by these many people with expectant eyes, Yang Chen looked a little uncomfortable. But soon, he calmed down again, nodded at those people and said, "What Yang Zhen said is right, in fact, the official has already been prepared. It's just that I sent people to Huguang to buy grain, and I don't know when they will be able to turn around, so I don't dare to tell the truth at will. However, judging from the current situation, it should be a few days before the food we need will be available. So you don't have to panic because the Li family burned this food! They will also be punished as they deserve! ”

"Oh......" After the crowd was silent, a burst of cheers suddenly broke out, and some people couldn't help but exchange tears, turned over and bowed to Yang Chen, and kept chanting in their mouths that the Qingtian Lord was the master of the people, and so on.

They were indeed frightened by the reality that they might run out of food, because the previous days were so hard that everyone panicked at the thought that the next might be even worse. And now, when they suddenly heard Yang Chen say that there would be food soon, this was tantamount to escaping death for them, so they were naturally very excited.

In the bursts of cheers of the people, Yang Chen and the others escorted the Li family brothers and a cadre of subordinates to embark on the journey back to the county office. And along the way, with the continuous propaganda of these people, soon, the entire county knew that the food shortage that had plagued them for many days was about to be solved.

Seeing that the flood has receded, the food shortage is about to be solved, and the Li family in the fish and meat township, which has always been rampant in the county, has been broken by the county government, it seems that it is difficult to have the scenery of the past, and it is really a happy thing for the people of Zhuji County. As a result, the whole county was soaked in a joyful atmosphere, if it were not for the lack of food in the city at this time, I was afraid that everyone would have to hold a feast and feast for several days.

But at this time, even if the stomach is still only half-hungry, the people's spirits are completely different from before, and the county town, which was somewhat lifeless before, is rejuvenated.

Just one day later, the truly exciting moment finally arrived. As if to confirm what Yang Chen said, at noon that day, dozens of cargo ships loaded with countless sacks came to the Puyang River Watergate Wharf outside the city, crowding the already small wharf.

After some sharp-eyed people saw these ships, they immediately thought of what was announced by the Yang County Order yesterday, and suddenly the entire county was boiling again, and the reputation of Yang Chen's Yang County Order was once again raised to a new height. For the people, no matter how clever you are in deciding the case, no matter how dare you fight with the powerful, you can't compare to being able to keep them fed and clothed, in their eyes, such a county order is a really good county order.

Under the excited eyes of hundreds of people, Cai Kewen, who was dressed in dust, walked into the gate of the county government with a stiff face, and came to give orders to Yang Chen: "My lord, the grass people are fortunate to live up to their lives, and finally bought 180,000 catties of grain from Huguang, and now those boats carrying grain are parked in front of the Zhongshui Gate by the river, only listening to the orders of the adults. ”

"Uncle Cai has really worked hard for you, and you haven't encountered any trouble along the way, right?" In fact, Yang Chen, who had always been a little apprehensive, finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Cai Kewen who appeared in front of him and hearing the bursts of cheers coming from outside the county office.

His character is like this, as long as things don't quite come true, he will always worry about some variables. So even though he had announced it to the people yesterday, he still couldn't feel at ease until he saw the food arrive. But now, Yang Chen finally didn't have to be so entangled, and the most relaxed smile finally hung on his cheeks.

Seeing Yang Chen smiling so easily, Cai Kewen also felt relaxed, as if the fatigue of the past few days had dissipated: "Thanks to the blessing of the adults, this journey is considered smooth." Although we have encountered some levels, they dare not embarrass us with Wei Bantou coming forward. ”

This was exactly the purpose of Yang Zhen asking Wei Yong to go with them to buy grain. First, Wei Yong's martial arts are not low, which is enough to play a protective role, and secondly, he also has the identity of Jinyiwei, and when encountering problems on the official side, Jinyiwei's brand can still intimidate some people.

When Yang Chen heard this, he smiled even brighter: "Okay, it's good to be able to transport the grain all the way smoothly." The officer then went to the wharf and ordered all the grain to be unloaded. To tell you the truth, there is a food shortage in the county now, and even the official himself is still hungry. With that, he got up and walked out.

As soon as they saw that the county magistrates had moved, the county officials were no longer reserved, and hurriedly followed Yang Chen to the dock outside the city. Subsequently, the people also automatically joined the ranks, and the number of them increased. When they arrived at the wharf and saw the grain ship, most of the people in the county had gathered on the Puyang River.

This is much more lively than any previous Dragon Boat Race, there may have been many people rushing to the river to watch the dragon boat race, but at the same time, there are more people in the city and countryside to celebrate the festival. But today, almost all the people in the county are in the county, and now they have all been driven out, so it is naturally a sea of people.

Even Yang Zhen and Yang Chen, the two traversers who had seen the crowded metropolis in later generations, were not surprised by the enthusiasm of today's people. And with Yang Chen's order: "Unload the grain!" Later, many young and vigorous people also volunteered to rush over and help the workers on the ship carry and unload the food.

The so-called large number of people is powerful, and the work is naturally fast. In the past, it took several days to unload more than 100,000 catties of grain, but today in less than an hour, all of them were removed from the grain ship.

Next, there is the issue of the placement and distribution of grain. All this, with Jiang Chong and Zhao Bangfu, two officials who are old in the county government, Yang Chen, the county commander, does not have to bother too much.

And as the long-lost white flowers and grains were in their hands, many people wept silently, and these white rice, which was not too precious in the past, were so precious in their eyes at the moment. Of course, it was accompanied by waves of cheers.

The cheers echoed throughout the county, and also spread to the depths of the county government and the ears of the Li family who were in prison.

As the hopeful cheers came again and again, the last bit of hope for Li Chenggang and his family also vanished. They know that this time they have completely lost, and they are completely finished.

Suddenly, all the men and women, young and old, in the prison let out a cry of grief at the same time, which formed an extremely sharp contrast with the joy outside!
