Zhen Yan sent Han Lie out of the house, and he had his own steward to assist in the purchase of grain.

Back in the backyard, as Zhen Yan expected, Zhen Mi was suing her mother, and in the face of her little sister, Zhen Yan could only smile bitterly while loving her.

"The child has seen his mother." Zhen Yan's mother, Zhang, is a member of the Hejian Zhang clan, although she is of the same clan as Zhang He, but she is not a family, but the Hejian Zhang family is also a real family in Hebei, after Wang Zhang'er with a different surname in the early Han Dynasty.

Zhang, who is now over fifty years old, gave birth to Zhen Mi in her early forties, which can be said to be a typical example of Lao Bengshengzhu, although she is already over middle age, but her rich and glorious life makes her very well maintained, and she does not look old at all.

Although there are a lot of crow's feet at the corners of the eyes and a somewhat changed face, it can be vaguely seen that when he was young, Zhang's must have been a beautiful embryo, otherwise he would not have given birth to several daughters, all of whom were beautiful.

"Let's sit down and talk, I heard that Han Yuanjun's nephew is visiting, I don't know what happened?" The Zhang family also heard Zhen Mi mention just now, for the current Jizhou Mu Hanfu, although the Hebei scholars do not have a strong sense of belonging, but for this imperial court to appoint the state officials, the county Wang clan still does not dare to be too contemptuous on the surface.

"Back to my mother, he came to buy grain, and I don't know why he is a partial general, but he came to Zhending to be the county lieutenant, this is not the recent flood, Zhending people are affected, according to what he said, he actually used his own private money to buy grain to help the people, and I don't know if it's true or not." Zhen Yan still had some doubts about Han Lie's private money.

"Oh." Knowing that Han Lie was here to buy grain, the Zhang family obviously didn't have much interest, and as for who paid for it, she was even less interested, but she was quite interested in Han Lie's identity, and she said after a while: "I heard Mi'er say that this Lord Han is outstanding, I don't know how to learn character?" ”

"What does Mother mean by this?" Zhen Yan looked at Zhang with some doubts.

Zhang's face showed a hint of kindness, and said: "The three girls and the five girls are now at the age of leaving the cabinet, if there are suitable young talents, they should be allowed to go out, since this Lord Han is the son of the Han envoy and the son of the official eunuch, and our family is also a good match, if it is suitable, I should find someone to say it." ”

When Zhen Yan heard this, he thought of Han Lie's handsome appearance and extraordinary conversational temperament, and thought that if he could really marry his sister, it would be a good choice, so he stroked his palm and said: "Mother is high, the child looks at the heroic and extraordinary Lord Han, if you can really marry our Zhen family, it is indeed a good match." ”

"Mother, brother, you are so boring, the child has retired." Zhen Mi is young after all, although she is smart and clever, she is not interested in this marriage, and seeing what they are talking about, she has the intention of leaving.

"My family is still young, I don't know this, and I don't know who will be able to marry my pearl in the future." Zhang smiled and beckoned to Zhen Mi, and said with a smile in his arms: "You can do this, if this thing can be done, you don't have to worry too much about buying grain." ”

"The child knows." Zhen Yan hurriedly responded, but remembering the price increase just now, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

"Second brother, seeking wealth in a prosperous era is the way to survive, if today's disasters continue and the people are in distress, if we continue to seek wealth and hoard, is it a good policy? Mi'er believes that we should try our best to help the people and accumulate good karma, only by favoring the people, the people will feel the virtue of the Zhen family, which is the way to survive in troubled times. Zhen Mi poked her head out in Zhang's arms, looked up at Zhen Yan, and her little face showed a serious look.

In the face of Zhen Mi's remarks, Zhang and Zhen Yan were all shocked, and after a while, Zhang said: "What Mi'er said is true and reasonable. ”

Zhen Yan pondered deeply, and couldn't help but be moved: "If Mi'er is a man, he will be the pillar of the country!" ”

Han Lie didn't know what was happening inside the Zhen family, and at this moment he had already taken Zhao Yun and the others, and led the accompanying hundred cavalry sergeants to the Zhen family's grain depot in the south of the city.

This time, Han Lie brought a hundred sergeants and three hundred war horses with him, and the Zhen family naturally also had a two-wheeled car, and now that they have horses, they can set off with war horses and food.

Because Zhending was in a hurry to ask for food, Han Lie did not delay, he even took it personally, with the labor of the sergeant and the treasury, he was busy for most of the day, before loading the grain into the car, and when checking out, to Han Lie's surprise, the other party told them that the owner of the family was willing to reduce the price by 30%, and was willing to sell them another 30,000 stone of grain in half a month.

"In this case, please tell your family master, this kindness will be repaid in the future." Han Lie was surprised, and after handing over the money, he turned around and drove the grain team away.

Although he didn't know why the Zhen family's attitude changed so quickly, Han Lie was quite happy to be able to buy food and save a sum of money.

Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan, who were traveling together, couldn't hide the smiles on their faces, with this batch of grain, the people of Zhending would definitely be able to survive the flood disaster.

The storm finally passed three days later, and the people of Zhending, who had not seen the sun for twenty-one days, cheered when they saw the rising sun on the horizon.

As the weather cleared, the raging floodwaters quickly receded.

Due to the food relief purchased by Han Lie and the proper resettlement, the people in the city did not suffer much casualties except for the loss of family property, and after the flood, the people returned to the city, and many people even recovered the money from their homes that they had not had time to take away.

Although the flood has passed, the next rescue work still cannot be ignored, the spring seedlings that were originally planted need to be replanted, and the collapsed river embankment fields also need to be repaired and measured, these trivial matters, it stands to reason that it is naturally not Han Lie's turn to take care of the county lieutenant, but the county order has not returned, the lord Bo is sick, and the county Cheng Zhao died in the flood.

After the flood, according to statistics, the population was 28,357 and 7,231 households.

The people affected by the disaster were mainly urban people, on the contrary, several villages outside the city were mainly flooded with farmland, and the loss of population and houses was minimal.

A county town, tens of thousands of people are looking at you with a mouthful of eyes, such a scene, even if Han Lie is a human being in two lifetimes, it is the first time to see it, especially when he sees those children with yellow faces and thin muscles, looking at himself with his head tilted and a pair of clear eyes, Han Lie really feels the responsibility on his shoulders, a heavy sense of mission, so that he does not dare to slack off.

When Han Lie saw those so-called princes and heroes in history, he once thought that with his own ability, the world was so big, where could he not go?

But in the face of these tens of thousands of people, he knew that the power of one person was small.

Now that I think about it, the sour jujube is like a deep well, they are all frogs in the well, and when they look up, they see the sky as big as a palm, but now they jump out of the deep well, and they know how big the world is and the suffering of all the people.

If there was no help from Xu Rong, Wang Ding, Wang Dian, Zhao Yun, Xiahou Lan and Li Yang at the moment, Han Lie found that even if he governed such a county, he would not be able to play it.

The seed of ambition that once rose from the heart was almost devastated. Han Lie remembered watching the Romance of the Three Kingdoms when he was a child, and he always felt that Liu Bei was incompetent, and his subordinates were obviously invincible generals like Zhang Fei, but they were chased and had nowhere to stay.

At this moment, Han Lie deeply realized that it was far more difficult to govern the place and live in peace with the people than to lead the troops to fight, when he was in Bishui Pass, his soldiers were all trained by others, and the food was also provided by others, to put it bluntly, as long as he led people to rush forward, he naturally felt relaxed and simple, but now he was in charge of his own house, and he had to take care of all trivial things, Han Lie found that it was only a small city, and he felt exhausted.

And at this time, Han Lie found that Xu Rong, a person who had been a Taishou, was in an orderly manner, and whenever it came to him, it became simpler all of a sudden, and another person, which would also attract Han Lie's attention, was Wang Ling, that is, Wang Ding's cousin and Wang Yun's nephew.

Don't look at this kid's youth, but he can get started in the fastest time with the paperwork, land measurement, and grain distribution in the county government, and this kid has a very strong memory, and he can remember everything three times.

Originally, Xu Huang could also help at this time, but Xu Huang's injuries had not healed, so he could only continue to recuperate, although Zhao Yun and Xiahou Lan had the ability, but the two could only be responsible for the order in the county and assist the people in repairing their homes.

From the aspect of governing the government affairs of a county, Han Lie deeply realized that the literati who govern the country are far more important than the military generals, even if they are just ordinary civil servants, they are better than the military generals.

It's like Dian Wei, it's okay for you to let him charge into battle, but if you want him to deal with the people's disputes and arrange spring planting, this is completely the opposite.
