After Chen Qianhe heard this, he took out an official guide from his desk cabinet and handed it to Wu Tianxiao, and said with a snort: "I'm sorry." He Tang Xianyao can go to Nanzhili, but I, Chen, can't go to Zhejiang Buzheng Division. Brother, wait for me for a few days, I am on my way with the commander. When we get acquainted, the whole territory of Zhejiang is at our disposal. As for such trivial matters as official introductions, we are brothers, and you can approve such trivial matters yourself. Brother, I still have some things to do, so I won't leave you, and we'll find time for a drink or two another day. And yes. In the future, when there are no outsiders, we will be commensurate with brothers, don't be honest adults, I didn't say hemp earlier, your hundred households are an identity, how can I instruct you to come. ”

Wu Tianxiao took over the purchase and said, "Then Brother Chen, I'm not welcome." That's right. Brother Chen gathered hundreds of households, but what was the matter? I'm still skilled, and if I need to do something, just say it. ”

Chen Qianhe said with a smile: "If there is any big thing, it is that there are disaster victims gathering to make trouble in Hangzhou Mansion. Originally, we didn't have anything to do with Haiwei, but this time there were thousands of victims. In the past few days, some victims have starved to death on the side of the road, and a small wave of victims are moving to Ningbo Prefecture. The commander made the adults beware of the big trouble, so he dispatched my Dinghaiwei Station to Ningbo Mansion to support. With my brother's ability, I will definitely call you if I kill the widows, but you don't need to be overdone to deal with a few victims. What you need to do now is to get the match shop right, and I'm still waiting to get more dividends in the future. Making money is more important than anything else. ”

Wu Tianxiao smiled and took out five taels of silver from his arms and stuffed it into Chen Qianhe's hand and said, "The rules of purchasing officials cannot be changed, these Brother Chen will take them." You can rest assured about the dividends, with this 100,000 boxes, the first dividends, how can you have a few taels of silver in a month. ”

Chen Qianhe accepted the money and smiled: "Haha." Brother just knows the rules, you go and do your own thing. ”

Wu Tianxiao took the official notice and said: "Then I will leave first." ”

Leaving the Dinghai Qianhu Health Center, Wu Tianxiao took Jia Youshi and a few people to Ningbo Mansion to buy raw materials. I didn't want to think that the next morning, a few people pushed and pulled the vehicle on the way back, and happened to encounter a group of refugees.

Wu Tianxiao took the manpower and hired vehicles, carrying red phosphorus, sulfur, fish gelatin, saltpeter, paper and other raw materials from the east gate of Ningbo City. After walking a short distance, they met Chen Qianhe with hundreds of military households in the guard, driving a group of refugees. There are probably more than 1,000 refugees, including young and old, women and children, but many more are young people. Obviously, I was able to get here alive from the disaster area, and many of the frail people couldn't stand it and fell on the road.

Wu Tianxiao looked at the group of refugees with a dishful face and a numb expression, Chen Qianhe led people to drive them out of the city gate like cattle, and couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Lord Qianhu." Where are you driving them to? ”

Chen Qianhe saw that it was Wu Tianxiao again, and asked without replying, "What." Brothers, have you bought everything? ”

Wu Tianxiao nodded: "It's all purchased." This time it's a bit much, and a few carriages are rushing back, passing by. ”

Chen Qianhe said: "There is some chaos here, you better hurry up." It would be bad if these victims rioted and smashed the goods. ”

Wu Tianxiao watched the soldiers of the guard drive the victims like ducks, and asked again, "Where are you going to drive them?" ”

Chen Qianhe smiled bitterly: "Where can you go?" Just don't let them near the city gates, and it's better if the victims can leave on their own. ”

Wu Tianxiao frowned and said, "Doesn't the government provide disaster relief?" How can it be said that these victims are also the people of the Ming Dynasty, how can the government not care. ”

Chen Qianhe shook his head and said: "Brother doesn't know, this disaster relief is for silver and food." It is necessary to open a warehouse and release grain by the will of the imperial court, otherwise who would dare to open an official warehouse easily. What's more, these victims fled from Nanzhili Huizhou, he didn't care about Nanzhili, and the prefect of Huizhou didn't care, so why should we Ningbo Mansion take care of it. This matter is to make trouble in the imperial court, and we will have nothing to do. ”

Wu Tianxiao looked angry when he heard this. These victims actually let those officials kick around like a ball.

Chen Qianhe saw Wu Tianxiao's anger on his face. Then he explained: "Brother. Don't worry about it. In the past, disasters and famines were like this, and there would always be some kind families who would come out to set up porridge farms for relief, and some would be bought as slaves. Huizhou Mansion flowed to Hangzhou Mansion, and then to our Ningbo Mansion. That's how the homeless people came about. Hurry up, and after a long time, it will disperse, and it has been like this in previous years. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Qianhe said to Wu Tianxiao with an evil smile on his face: "That's right. Brothers. You've only just returned from overseas, and you don't have a woman around to serve you, and you'll be able to make money and money. I just saw that among these homeless people, there are a few little girls who are not bad-looking. Although the body has lost a little weight, but in the future, when you are full, the meat will grow back, and you might as well take this opportunity to buy a few back. Brother, I'll help you pick it up, how about it? ”

Wu Tianxiao was speechless when he heard this, but his mouth was dissatisfied: "Brother Chen knows how to take advantage of people's danger like this? ”

Chen Qianhe heard Wu Tianxiao's dissatisfied tone. Laughing: "Hehe." It's also saving people. You don't know, in a few days, there will be some big families in the city who will come out to pick people. It's a blessing that these victims can get a bite to eat, and if you don't pick it now, you won't be able to pick it another day. ”

Wu Tianxiao was thinking about a plan in his heart at this time, and casually returned: "Then why doesn't Brother Chen pick a few by himself?" ”

Chen Qianhe was distressed: "I want to too, but your sister-in-law at home is watching it closely." Besides, for the sake of this position of a thousand households, I have honored the old man to the official, and I just hope that the match workshop can pay more dividends in the future. ”

Wu Tianxiao didn't have time to talk nonsense with Chen Qianhe, and after making up his mind, he said to Chen Qianhe: "I plan to gather all these displaced people to Zhoushan Island, can you help." ”

Chen Qianhe was startled when he heard this, and shouted, "Oops." My brother, you can't do that as a good person, there are more than 1,200 people here, and they have to eat a few stones of grain from you that day. What are you going to do with these outcasts? ”

Wu Tianxiao said: "Now the match workshop is the time to expand, and it needs manpower. Gathering these people can accumulate virtue first, and secondly, as long as they are given a mouthful of food to eat, it is always good to work for relief. ”

Chen Qianhe still persuaded: "Even if you want to find people, there are a lot of young and strong people, as for bringing them all back?" ”

Wu Tianxiao was uneven: "That woman and child are also human, how can you see death and not save it." Will you help or not? ”

Chen Qianhe muttered, "Help." How not to help. If you're willing to feed these people, it's too late for me to be happy. I thought I'd have to be here for a while, and if you're willing to feed these people, I'll be able to go home tomorrow and get a good night's sleep. ”

Wu Tianxiao was careful: "I'm just careful if I take in these people will cause the government to be dissatisfied?" ”

Chen Qianhe smiled: "Jokes." You took in the displaced people and solved the affairs of the victims, but the political achievements were recorded on the head of the Ningbo prefect, how could there be no allowed, it was too late for him to be happy. I'm just wary of how you feed these people. Brothers. These people will eat you a few stones of grain a day. ”

Wu Tianxiao said with a straight face: "Why are you so verbose, if you want to help, hurry up." Go and gather people to speak, and I will send them into the city to buy food. ”

Chen Qianhe muttered: "I'm not afraid that these homeless people will eat your poor hemp. Then he said solemnly: "Brother." You are really a hot-blooded person who worries about the country and the people. At the beginning, you just couldn't look down on the scourge of the Japanese and the woes, so you rescued many people. I admire you. ”
