Passing through the small half-destroyed Pengcheng, Zhou Quan found Zhou Fu.

Zhou Fu, with his hands behind his back, stood in front of a completely burned building, his face was blue and extremely ugly.

The air was filled with a scorching smell, like a pot, which made Zhou Quan understand what was burning in the ruins of the embers.

Grain.

"Xuzhou warehouse is finished...... The grain shops in the city, the grain stored in the people's homes, and the grain stored here by the imperial court are not saved in a hundred. Zhou Fu turned his head and looked at Zhou Quan: "I'm afraid someone is going to starve to death......

"No one will starve to death!" Zhou Quan's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

"How?"

At the same time, with the help of the canal, they purchased grain from Huainan and Suhu, and bought grain at a price of five times the price, and if it was not successful, they paid twice the price...... The people will not starve to death! ”

"This matter is a private gathering of people's hearts, raiding the house and destroying the door!" Zhou Fu said coldly.

Zhou Quan's strategy is naturally good, but how could Zhou Fu not think of this! If there is a disaster in the place, take out some food to give porridge, which is a good deed, and the court will praise it. But if you take a large amount of food out to save people, that is, you will privately attract the hearts of the people, and your plot will not be treacherous, then you will raid your home and destroy your door!

Hugh thought that the Great Song Dynasty treated the world well and ruled the world with benevolence, because it did not threaten the rule of the Zhao family. If it really threatens the world of the Zhao family, and looks at the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty, who has ever spared the butcher knife in his hand!

"This ......"

This is also a headache for Zhou Quan, this kind of **** emperor, he doesn't save people himself, and he can't allow others to save people!

"There will be a way, there will be a way, but fortunately, things are not so urgent, and the most important thing now is ...... Bandits! When Zhou Quan said later, the words were squeezed out from between his teeth.

His original idea was not to directly engage the Lashan bandits, his array boys, as well as Zhou Fu's forbidden army brothers, were extremely precious, and one hundred and one thousand thieves were not worth their lives.

But this time, seeing the tragic situation in Pengcheng, Zhou Quan was really angry.

He did not expect that after the loss of order, the evil of human nature could be indulged to such an extent. The dead and wounded in the city are not related to him, and after seeing all kinds of tragic situations, Zhou Quan's heartstrings were still plucked.

"Do you know why thieves are setting fires to them?" Zhou Fu sneered.

"Why?"

"One is to force those who go with them to have blood on their hands, and if they are stained with blood, it is not tolerated by the law of the country, so they can only fall into the grass with them, and the second is to leave a mess that makes me powerless to pursue...... Quan'er, this is a lesson taught to us by the thief, and we have to live and suffer this lesson! ”

In Pengcheng, where the thieves left, tens of thousands of people were displaced, and they did not even have the most basic food and clothing, let alone medicine. If these people are not dealt with in time, many more will die of hunger and disease!

There are thousands of corpses in the city, and there will be a great plague after the catastrophe, and although the weather is cooler at this time, if it cannot be disposed of in time, who can guarantee that there will be no plague?

"Therefore, we can't spare more people to pursue, this time it's not the fools of the Haizhou thieves, but the Lashan thieves, Shi He's gang recruited outlaws to take in the lawless, the court has long known, and has sent soldiers to encircle and suppress Baoding several times, but he has avoided it, this time he is determined to do an earth-shattering event......"

"That's right, the thieves shouldn't have thought that we can still draw people to sneak attack them, there don't be many people, I'll take my array boy, and Daddy will give me ...... again"

"Don't think!" Zhou Quan's proposal was immediately rejected by Zhou Fu.

His eyes were blazing, staring at Zhou Quan, seeing that Zhou Quan was uncomfortable, Zhou Fu said: "Your mother and your teacher will come back from Beijing a year ago, and then our family will be reunited, you don't want to be beaten by your mother, just be honest, don't want to lead the troops into battle!" ”

"But ......"

"You are in Pengcheng, first solve two problems, one is the food of the people, and the other is medicine and plague, which is the most critical thing!"

Zhou Quan hung his head and was silent, looking at him like this, Zhou Fu coughed and said slowly: "I'm going to chase the bandits!" ”

Zhou Quan suddenly raised his head, his face full of surprise.

"Why, could it be that your father and I are hard-hearted, seeing this tragic situation in the city, don't you have the idea of revenge for the people?" Zhou Fu glared at him and said.

"No, no, Dad, Ye Chu, you take it, one day, I will rely on them to fight!" Zhou Quan was happy in his heart.

He knows his own family affairs, compared with his father, he is a little quick-witted, and he has stronger insight and vision, but when it comes to fighting, whether it is military strategy or martial arts, there is a big gap between him and his father.

But soon, he became worried again.

"The Lashan thieves are different from the Haizhou thieves, Dad, you have to bring more people here."

"That's natural, the old man does things, you just have to rest assured." Zhou Fu is old-fashioned and authentic.

The core of the Haizhou thieves is the twenty or thirty people brought by Cao Cao, and the Lashan thieves are different, after entering Pengcheng, Zhou Quan and they got the news that the number of Lashan thieves is full of hundreds.

What's even more terrifying is that the men and horses that Er Cao Cao brought to Diqiu were just scoundrels he recruited with money and food, so Zhou Fu raided and killed Er Cao Cao, and those scoundrels were suddenly scattered, until Er Cao Cao was beheaded, and no one came to the rescue. In addition to the bandits of about 100 people for many years, the Lashan thieves also forced the young Zhuang in Xuzhou City to kill innocents, and when these people were also stained with the blood of innocents, they forced them to leave.

Forcing them to break the law, and then rewarding them generously, these people can only be thieves now, although they were reluctant at the beginning, but now they may not be.

Zhou Fu left soon and handed over everything in the city to Zhou Quan, along with two thousand smelters from Diqiu.

It was precisely in order to wait for these two thousand Yeding, after learning of the various changes that had occurred after Pengcheng fell into the hands of the Lashan thieves, that they would delay outside Pengcheng for a few days. After all, the city wall of Pengcheng is still intact, and it is okay to rely on 300 people to intercept and kill Er Cao Cao halfway, and if he wants to recapture Pengcheng with 300 people, Zhou Fu is not so arrogant.

However, Ye Chu still didn't bring it.

"Yanai!"

Zhou Quan summoned all the array boys, and at this moment, he heard someone calling him. Looking back, he saw that Zhang Meng was also following the array boys, and after seeing him, he hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Don't knock." Zhou Quan stepped forward and pulled him up.

Lu Hai next to him shook his head with a smile: "Da Lang doesn't like to kowtow indiscriminately, you kid better get up." ”

"I want to thank Yanai for accommodating my sister...... Yanai, can I go with you to kill the gangsters? ”

This kid kept saying that he wanted to kill the villain, Zhou Quan took pity on him for losing his parents, but he was not angry, just patted him on the shoulder, and then said sharply: "Go and urge Sun Cheng to invite those people over!" ”

It was the officials of the original Xuzhou Mansion who were invited.

The thieves rebelled with Peng three times, and the original officials killed and fled, and now Di Qiu Yeding has recovered Pengcheng, and they have all run back. However, such as the general judge, Pengcheng County Commander and other chief officials and assistants, were all killed by thieves, and only one judge and professor of state studies were still alive.

"How can this be the case in the Ya, the Temple of Literature is a place to worship the sages, how can it be used to do some cheap things?"

As soon as this group of people came, the professor of Xuzhou Prefecture shouted dissatisfiedly.

"Why did Professor Wei say that?" Zhou Quan was stunned.

"Thou shalt be a servant, insult Sven ......"

This Professor Wei said a lot, and Zhou Quan's head was dizzy when he heard it, Zhou Quan had something in his heart, how could he have the leisure to listen to his nonsense, and shouted: "Shut up, Sun Cheng, tell me, what's going on!" ”

Sun Cheng said it succinctly, because a large number of victims have lost the disaster garden, and now it is September, and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large, so the array boy temporarily borrowed the Xuzhou Confucian Temple to shelter the poor victims who lost their homes.

Most of the buildings in the entire Pengcheng City were burned, but this Confucian Temple was not burned down, which is said to be because one of the thieves in Lashan was stopped by a scholar known as a military teacher. In the case that most of the other places are in ruins, borrowing the Temple of Literature is nothing at all, but this Professor Wei was furious, thinking that it was disrespectful to the saint.

"Disrespectful to saints?" Zhou Quan surged up with anger.

"Exactly, Zhou Yanei, I heard that Governor Zhou has left Pengcheng? Now Pengcheng is withered, all kinds of waste to be revived, although the governor is the son of the governor, after all, the name is not right, the judge is the official affairs of the judge's office, and now the rank and seniority in the city is the highest, so it is better to ask the judge Qian to take charge of the state affairs and preside over the aftermath! ”

"That's it, there is no hair on your mouth, you can't do things well, Zhou Yanei, you are still ......"

Burst!

A brush was thrust into the mouth of the official who was making a big speech.

Originally, Zhou Quan didn't know why these officials were arguing, but now he understands that these guys are simply here to be "receiving officers".

The so-called insult to the Temple of Literature is just an excuse, what these people want is the military and political power in Xuzhou.

"You, you, what do you mean!"

Seeing Zhou Quan's violent expression, these officials were obviously wrong, or that Professor Wei, and asked tremblingly.

"Judge Qian, right, from the eighth grade, I am Xuande Lang, and under the seventh grade, I am the person with the highest rank in Pengcheng today!" Zhou Quan is majestic and authentic.

The officials in Pengcheng all opened their mouths wide, not knowing what to say.

Xu Churen is well-informed, that is because Xu Churen's protégé and former friends are still in Beijing, and these officials are closed-minded, only knowing that Zhou Quan has made contributions, but they don't know that Zhou Quan still has the "Xuande Lang" as a parasitic official.

Although he is just a Jilu official who has no real power, in terms of rank, it is true that there is no one bigger than him in the current Pengcheng.

"This ...... How is this possible, aren't you just a district office......" The money judge muttered in surprise.

"I can't pretend to be an official of the imperial court, don't talk nonsense, since you are officials of this government, don't come to make trouble at this time, do more practical things, judge Qian, you immediately go to the nearby prefectures and counties, and ask them to inspect the grain depot, and calculate how much grain can be supplied."

The judge didn't respond immediately, but looked at Professor Wei.

This look made Zhou Quan understand that although Judge Qian had a higher rank, he actually listened to Professor Wei. He sneered in his heart, and his eyes stared coldly at Professor Wei.
