Chapter 41: Relief Food Arrives
In the future, outside Licheng, the flags were displayed, and the voices were boiling. Countless carriages www.biquge.info gathered in the open space on both sides of the city gate, and the originally empty land was already impassable at this time.
Thousands of victims watched from afar, all eyes on the carriage. For them, when the food convoy comes, it is also the time of hope.
Originally, it was expected to arrive at the end of the day, but due to special circumstances, the grain convoy arrived in Licheng three hours ahead of schedule. It stands to reason that when the grain arrives, it should be sent to the granary immediately, but the situation at this time is a bit strange, and the convoy stops near the city gate and rests on the spot.
For this reason, several officials from Lizhou stepped forward and wanted to consult with the Praetorian Guard general, urging the latter to send the grain to the granary without delay. But it didn't take long for several officials to touch the ashes, and the Praetorian Guard Lang would be sent away with a waiting order.
In desperation, they could only send a servant, ride a fast horse, and gallop to the government to report to the envoy. Time passed little by little, and several officials were so anxious that they turned their eyes to the city gate from time to time, and after a while, Bai Zongwu, the envoy of Lizhou, finally came here.
Bai Zongwu rode his horse to several officials, then turned over and dismounted, stood in place, and said loudly: "It is Bai Zongwu, the assassin of Lizhou, why don't you send the grain to the granary?" ”
The Praetorian Guard General first gave a military salute, and then said without humility or arrogance: "Huang Qihua, the general of the Shenwu Army, has seen the envoy!" The military order is first, and the last general will not dare to disobey it, and I hope to make Jun Haihan! ”
"Military orders? What military order? ”
"Wenhou has an order first, any transfer must be approved by Wenhou, and others are not allowed to transfer it privately! When the military order is delivered, the final will act according to the military order, and it will not be too late to send the grain to the granary at that time. Please wait a moment! ”
General Huang Lang's words made Bai Zongwu very dissatisfied, and a wave of anger burned in his heart, and he was about to burst out of his body. However, anger is anger, at this time, Bai Zongwu definitely does not dare to get angry, after all, the northern border observation envoy has an order first, whether he wants to or not, he can only grit his teeth and swallow.
At this time, Governor Li Shi attached himself to Bai Zongwu's ear and whispered: "Envoy! This ......"
Without waiting for Changshi to finish speaking, Bai Zongwu raised his hand to stop it and roared in a low voice: "Shut up!" ”
Governor Shi retracted his head in a daze, and said no more. In this way, a group of people stood in place, all silent, and a strange and inexplicable atmosphere secretly grew in the crowd.
Three moments later, the situation changed slightly, only to hear a rapid sound of horses' hooves coming from a distance, from far to near, only a moment later, a war horse stopped in front of Bai Zongwu and Huang Lang General.
The soldier turned over and dismounted, and after the military salute, he took out two letters from his arms and handed them to Bai Zongwu and Huang Lang respectively, and said at the same time: "Team Zheng Zhao Yi, I have seen the envoy and the Lang general. Wen Hou ordered to hand over these two letters to the envoy and Lang General, please refer to them! ”
As soon as the words fell, Bai Zongwu and Huang Lang took the letter separately, and after opening it, they looked down to check it. As the words on the letterhead continued to jump into his eyes, Bai Zongwu's face became more and more ugly, and a wave of anger could no longer be suppressed.
A moment later, Bai Zongwu slapped the letterhead on Changshi's chest, and at the same time whispered angrily: "Act according to this order!" You don't have to tell me! ”
After speaking, Bai Zongwu took the horse, turned over and got on the horse, and then galloped towards the city gate. Although Bai Zongwu didn't say much, anyone could feel a wave of anger from him.
Unlike Bai Zongwu, after Huang Lang looked at it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He first looked at the back of the envoy, and then shouted loudly: "Feng Teamzheng! With his soldiers, he sent 7,000 stone of grain to Changyun County! ”
"Order!"
"Team Fan! Together with his soldiers, he sent 8,000 stone of grain to Dongjing County! ”
"Order!"
"Team Positive! With his soldiers, he sent 6,000 stone of grain to Guanglu County! ”
"Order!"
……
Finally, Huang Lang looked at Governor Li and said with a smile: "The remaining grain will be sent to the granary, and please ask Changshi to order someone to lead the way!" In addition, the granary was taken over by the Praetorian Guard, and any transfer was to be notified to the last general, and the Praetorian Guard would supervise the distribution of grain. ”
Changshi smiled bitterly, he had already read the letter, no wonder the king was so angry! After listening to General Huang Lang's words, Changshi said dejectedly: "A certain general will order someone to lead the way, please rest assured!" In addition, officials at all levels in Lizhou would follow the orders of Wenhou and implement various measures in Licheng and the other two counties according to the letterhead, which would be supervised by the Praetorian Guard. Please ask Lang to tell Wenhou this sentence! ”
"Please rest assured! The last general will tell you! ”
"Everything has a Lao Lang general!"
In the next time, Huang Lang will summon all the subordinates and convey Wenhou's orders to them one by one, so that they can all understand Wenhou's intentions.
Two moments later, an order was given, and the convoys gathered on both sides of the city gate began to move slowly, and some of these grain carriages were heading to Changyun County, some to Guanglu County, and some to the Licheng granary. The traffic is busy, people shouting and neighing, so it's not lively!
At the same time, far away in Changyun County, Wen Bin was in the inner room, listening to the reports of Zeng Chen and Liu Jun.
"Returning to Wenhou! Regarding the disaster situation in Changyun County, what Deng County ordered is basically true. Yesterday, the porridge shed was opened, and all the victims were grateful to Dade, and Wenhou's reputation was really unparalleled! Zeng Chen said with a smile.
"Oh! How do the victims know about Benhou? ”
"Huh! Deng County Ling didn't dare to take credit! From the very beginning, it was publicized to the outside world that it was the Northern Border Observation that made Wenhou come to Changyun County, and then there were various subsequent measures! ”
"Haha! This Deng County Order is really an official! ”
"That's true! Yesterday, due to insufficient preparation, there was not enough rice porridge, resulting in some chaos at the scene. But today is much more orderly! ”
When Wen Bin heard this, he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more intense. After a while, Wen Bin smiled and said, "Is this method feasible to work for relief?" ”
"Returning to Wenhou! Now construction is going on all over Changyun County, not only organized by the county government, but also many large families have recruited victims to renovate the buildings, and even the temples and Taoist temples on the mountain have been renovated. All wages are paid daily! ”
"Haha! Good! Very good! That's great! When the levees begin to be rebuilt, there will be a stable income for the victims. Three good words in a row expressed all the joy in Wen Bin's heart, and the burden on him at this moment was also much lighter.
Hearing Wen Bin's laughter, Fu Xuelan and the others also felt relieved, in the past few days, everyone has been working hard, isn't it this day!
"Childe, when is the team that went to buy food expected to return?" At this time, Fu Xuelan asked.
"Hmm...... If there is no accident, you should arrive in Changyun County tomorrow evening! When the time comes, the victims will be able to go and buy food, but one thing should be remembered! If someone pretends to be a victim, once discovered, they will be severely punished! ”
"Yes!" Fu Xuelan and the others said in unison.
Without waiting for Wen Bin to speak, Liu Jun said in a low voice: "Return to Wenhou!" Mingwei's brothers have been ordered to go to the counties of Lizhou, and they will do everything they can to gather intelligence! Early this morning, his subordinates had already met with the helmsman. ”
"Oh! Not bad! With the assistance of Mingwei, it is really like a tiger with wings! Liu Jun, Mingwei's side, you are responsible for contacting! If there is any situation, you must report it to me in time! ”
"Yes!"
