Hearing that Han Lie was going to buy grain, Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan looked at Han Lie with some hesitation for a while, not knowing how to speak.

"Don't worry, you two are really here this time, I did bring a sum of money, it should be no problem to buy food to help the people, now we should discuss where to buy food the fastest." Han Lie saw the expressions of the two of them, and knew what the two of them were thinking, so he said disapprovingly.

"If you have money, this matter is simple, this is less than a hundred miles to the north is Wuji County, the Zhen clan in the county is the Hebei clan, famous for operating a grain business in Jizhou, if we set off overnight, we can return within three days if we are fast." Knowing that Han Lie had money in his hands, Zhao Yun was overjoyed, and hurriedly told him about the purchase of grain, but then he thought that nearly 20,000 people must have been affected by the disaster right now, and a large amount of grain and grass was needed.

But even if Han Lie had enough money in his hand and let him take it all out to help the people, this seemed to be a bit out of line, and Zhao Yun didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Zilong rest assured, although money is important, but the price of human life is higher, I can spend a thousand gold to buy grain and grass first, as long as we make a reasonable arrangement, it is enough to support the people of the whole city to eat for two months, and after the flood, we will also organize the people to replant crops to save themselves, and at the same time, we can ask the county and the state government for support, so that we should barely get through the current difficulties."

Han Lie currently has 5,000 gold in his hand, and taking out 1,000 gold at once, such a stroke is definitely a big deal, you must know that 1,000 gold is enough to arm 3,000 soldiers and horses to support a year's expenses.

"The generosity and benevolence of adults and their love for the people really make a certain person ashamed." Zhao Yun saw that Han Lie didn't even blink an eye and promised to come out with a huge amount of money to help the people, and when he was moved, he got up solemnly and wanted to give Han Lie a big salute.

"Zilong doesn't need to be like this, as a parent official, how can we ignore the life and death of the people, this is just a gesture, although the daughter is heavy, how can it be more important than the life and death of the people?" Han Lie's words came from the bottom of his heart, as a person of later generations, he has always cherished and treated life with kindness, as long as it is not on the battlefield, he will definitely not easily kill a civilian.

"My lord, this worship is not for a certain worship, but as a true person, on behalf of the people of Zhending, he salutes to the adult." Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan ignored Han Lie's obstruction, knelt solemnly on the ground, and kowtowed to Han Lie to express their respect.

"Get up, get up, such a great gift, and you are not afraid to torment me." Han Lie smiled bitterly and pulled the two of them, but the two of them were unmoved, and they didn't get up calmly until they kowtowed three times.

"My lord, I will leave the matter of buying food to me and Zilan, today you are tired of a day, so you can rest first." Zhao Yun's respect for Han Lie was already from his heart, and it was obvious that Han Lie's actions had completely won his respect.

"Buying grain is a big deal, so let's eat our stomachs first, take a rest, I will arrange a hundred sergeants to accompany us, and there are hundreds of war horses in our army, which are just brought to Wuji to transport grain and grass, so that we can also reduce the time of running on the road, and then the three of us will go together." It wasn't that Han Lie was worried about Zhao Yun, but he was worried that his sergeants would complain on the way if they didn't have their own soldiers, so he decided to go along.

"It would be nice if that were the case." When Zhao Yun heard this, he was overjoyed.

Immediately, Han Lie ordered someone to invite Xu Rong and instructed: "Uncle Xu, I am going to go to Wuji overnight to buy grain, and you will be solely responsible for the affairs here. ”

"Whoa!" For Xu Rong, who had served as a county guard and a lieutenant general in the past, the governance of a mere hundred miles of land, although it was messy, was obviously just a piece of cake for him.

Before leaving, Han Lie went to Cai Yan's tent, greeted her, and then went to visit Xu Huang, although Xu Huang's injuries have begun to recover, but in this rainy weather, he can't get a little rain, so he can only stay in the tent to recuperate.

For this reason, Xu Huang was also secretly annoyed, complaining that he couldn't contribute, and he wanted Han Lie to worry about it, so Han Lie had to say kind words to comfort him: "Brother Gongming, don't think about it, the recovery of your body right now is the top priority, for me, although the people are important, but compared to your safety, a certain must value the latter more." ”

In the wind and rain, Han Lie and his party, who had been traveling day and night, arrived at Wuji City in the afternoon of the next day.

Due to the distance of Wuji County from the Hutuo River and the high terrain, although it has also suffered heavy rains for several days, the loss in the city is not large, although the streets seem to be a little depressed, but everything is still in order.

The Zhen family is a peerless family, the ancestor Zhen Han is the Taibao of the Han Dynasty, and the family is hereditary as an official position of 2,000 stones, which is a well-known family in Hebei.

Not only that, the Zhen family has not been involved in officialdom for nearly three generations, but there are many business wizards, so it is said that the Zhen family is rich and rivals the country, and it is rumored that the Zhen family's fields and shops are all over Hebei, and half of the county seat of Wuji County is the private property of the Zhen family.

The threshold of the Zhen family, which has a big business, naturally increases with the strength of the family property, and those who come to visit and negotiate business every day can be said to have broken the threshold.

Therefore, when Han Lie handed over the post of the county lieutenant of Zhending through Menzi, saying that he wanted to buy grain, he was unexpectedly sunk in the sea, and Han Lie, who had been waiting outside the door for an hour, did not get any reply.

"This Zhen family is really a high-ranking family." Han Lie, who was standing under the eaves to shelter from the rain, looked up at the tall plaque of the Zhen family, his brows twisted slightly, and he was already a little unhappy in his heart.

"My lord, let me urge you again." Although Xiahou Lan was also anxious, he didn't dare to make a mistake for the Zhen family, and seeing that Han Lie was unhappy, he could only step forward again to ask Menzi.

The reply he got was naturally to wait patiently, saying that the head of the family was meeting guests, and Han Lie was not satisfied with Menzi's reply, but Xiahou Lan had to send a string of five baht coins again and said: "I'm tired, let's take care of the trouble, just say that we adults have been waiting for a long time." ”

"Hey, to tell you the truth, the one who comes to see my master every day is not a high-ranking celebrity, your family is a county lieutenant, whether my master can see it, it's really hard to say." Menzi looked at the money, and said the truth with an arrogant expression, obviously the head of the Zhen family was only afraid of disliking Han Lie's official and deliberately ignored him.

Zhao Yun, who was beside him, heard Menzi's words, his expression changed slightly and looked at Han Lie, seeing that Han Lie's expression was calm, and while admiring Han Lie's calmness in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with the Zhen family's bullying behavior.

"Give this knife to your master and tell him that this knife once drank Dong Zhuo's blood." Although Han Lie's expression was calm, it didn't mean that he was not angry, but he understood that being angry at this time could not solve the problem.

Looking at the seven-star treasure knife handed over by Han Lie, the dazzling jewel-inlaid blade, Menzi was slightly startled, and hurriedly turned back again.

This will be above the lobby of the Zhen family, several brothers and sisters of the Zhen family are playing, the head of the family Zhen Yan is the second eldest of the Zhen family, the eldest died early, and his father also died of illness a few years ago, so Zhen Yan resigned from his official position and returned home to take over the position of head of the family, responsible for teaching his younger siblings and managing the family industry.

The reason why Zhen Yan has such a big shelf is not that he deliberately put it out, but that he has this qualification, not to mention that his family has been famous for generations, but he himself is also a famous man in Hebei, who once served as an adjutant in the shogunate of the great general He Jin, and then served as the chief of Quliang, such an aura is enough to make his worth unattainable.

"Qiqi master, the county lieutenant of Zhending, who just threw in the post, asked the disciple to present this knife to the master, saying that this knife had drunk Dong Zhuo's blood." Menzi can't enter the Inner Mansion, and it is the steward of the Inner Mansion who will be responsible for presenting the Seven Star Treasure Sword to Zhen Yan in front of him.

"Seven Star Sword?" Zhen Yan saw the origin of this knife at a glance, legend has it that this knife is as sharp as clay, and it is worth a fortune, although he has only heard of it, but he will see the treasure knife in front of him, and he still recognizes it at a glance.

"Zhending County Lieutenant Han Lie? It's strange, when did this really determine when the county lieutenant was replaced? Zhen Yan muttered to himself, looking at the name on the worship post in his hand, it seemed to be a little familiar, and when he was pondering, a girl beside him looked up at Zhen Yan and said: "Last year, it was rumored that the person who assassinated Dong was surnamed Han Minglie, and there was also news from Luoyang a month ago, saying that it was Han Lie, the son of the Jizhou Mu Han Fu clan, who passed the test and made the first contribution to the coalition army, and was listed as a partial general by the coalition army. ”

"Huh!?" Zhen Yan looked at the little sister in front of him with a shocked face, although he had always known that the little sister was smart and clever, but he was still surprised to hear her words.
