"First, my father heard that Lord Yue had requisitioned rice to help the victims, and he was quite ashamed, and now he decided to follow the adult's act of loving the people, and let Li Ji Rice Store open warehouses in all branches in Henan to release grain and help the victims. Second, my father also said that the grain and rice requisitioned by the adults do not need to be liquidated, and they should all be donated to the court by my Li family. Third, my sister was very happy after hearing the news of the adult's tour of Henan, and she looked forward to reuniting with the adult every day. Li Yuanchen said with a smile on his face.

Yue Su already knew that the "Li Ying" brother was a woman, and when he heard it again from Li Yuanchen's mouth today, he inevitably blushed a little. I have been with Li Qiongying for a long time, and there is a friendship, but a girl from someone else, who has followed you thousands of miles away, what does it mean, it is estimated that even a fool can think of it. Yue Su coughed dryly and said, "It's rare that Master Li has such a righteous act, and the headquarters and the court thank you on behalf of the people of Henan, as well as the imperial court." By the way, the sister Li Gongzi said, I don't know what it is......"

"Heh......" Li Yuanchen smiled faintly and said: "My sister's name is Qiong Xuan, and she often mentions adults to me. said that at that time, a woman dressed as a man, under the pseudonym 'Li Ying', and had a good relationship with adults. I don't know if adults remember. ”

"Brother Li Ying, how could I not remember. It's just that I really didn't expect that she turned out to be a daughter, and I remember that when she was guarding Tongren, someone from your mansion picked her up. At that time, I was on my way back to Tongren, so I didn't see it. For more than a year, I have also been very concerned......" As soon as he said this, Yue Su's face couldn't help but turn red, after all, he was a second-class member of the imperial court, and it was really inappropriate to say such a thing.

He immediately coughed, covered up his embarrassment, and said, "I don't know how Sister Ling is now?" ”

"My sister is very good now, but I often miss the adult, no, as soon as I heard that the adult is governor of Henan, I immediately want to come over in disguise to meet the adult. But in the end, I was persuaded by my father to wait for the adults in Kaifeng with peace of mind. Dare to ask adults, when will you be able to get to Kaifeng? Li Yuanchen pretended not to see Yue Su's embarrassment just now, and his face was still talking and laughing. But he knows it in his heart, it seems that this adult still has affection for his sister.

And after seeing Yue Su's dignified appearance, Li Yuanchen also recognized this "brother-in-law".

"Huaiqing's side has been severely affected, and now many people are displaced and need to settle down, and I can't leave for the time being. When everything is settled, I will definitely go to Kaifeng. Yue Su said.

"The villain is waiting for the adults in Kaifeng." Li Yuanchen said politely: "My lord, I just don't know how to settle the victims of the disaster right now." There were 20,000 victims outside the east gate, and there was a lot of grain and rice. The villain also heard that the adults had opened a warehouse in the city yesterday to help the people, according to the head, each person was given two liters of food, and the tens of thousands of people in the city also had to consume a lot. ”

Yue Su nodded and said, "That's true. Now, since the opening of the porridge factory outside the city, more and more people have gathered, and now there are more than 30,000 people, and each consumption of grain and rice is 200 stones. Because the price of grain in the city was too high in the previous stage, many people are now homeless and have no food to eat, and the headquarters and courtyards cannot sit idly by. Each person was given two liters of rice to relieve their urgent needs for a while. But this is not a long-term solution after all, and there is no good way for the Ministry to do so at this time. ”

"The villain has a way, I don't know if I can say it......" Li Yuanchen smiled lightly.

"Childe, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

The villain thinks that now that the water of the Yellow River has receded, it is time to rebuild the river. Didn't you come to visit Henan this time? It is better to send the refugees to the banks of the Yellow River now, rebuild the river, and give them more grain and rice every time they are fed, so that they will not kill two birds with one stone. By the beginning of spring next year, the river workers should be almost repaired, and the people will go home to the garden to cultivate, and the mission of the adults will be completed. As for the cost of repairing the river, my Li family contributed 100,000 stones. The rest is up to you, adult. ”

Li Yuanchen's idea made Yue Su's eyes light up, this is indeed a good way, why didn't he even think of it. He arched his hand at Li Yuanchen and said, "Li Gongzi is really high-minded. Yue Su was grateful. ”

100,000 stone grain, what a lot of affection is that, and Yue Su is not good at calling himself the headquarters in front of the other party. And this Li Yuanchen is also a master who can see the stitches, and immediately said: "My lord is polite." By the way, the sister and the adult know each other, and they are commensurate with brothers, and the villain has been envious for a long time, if the adult does not give up, the villain also wants to call the adult a brother. I don't know if adults can break the knot......"

"Why not, since you are Brother Li's younger brother, then you and I are brothers, and those vulgar rites will be waived in the future, you call me brother, I call you brother."

"Thank you so much, brother." Li Yuanchen got up and gave Yue Su a look, and then said: "Brother Yue, now that the grain and rice of the rice merchants in the city have been forcibly requisitioned by the elder brother, it is inevitable that there will be resentment. First, the household department has no money, and secondly, the elder brother hates those annihilators who take the opportunity to raise prices, how can he give them the silver. It's just that in this way, I'm afraid that in the short term, no one will dare to transport the grain to Huaiqing for sale, and I'm afraid that it will be a headache again. ”

Hearing this, Yue Su couldn't help but gasp, he was only to help the victims and exterminate the rebels, but he didn't think so far. As soon as Li Yuanchen reminded him, he immediately reacted. The heart is troubled.

Li Yuanchen seemed to come prepared, and said with a smile: "Brother don't worry, the younger brother has already thought of a countermeasure." ”

"Oh? What countermeasures? Yue Su hurriedly asked.

"This business, others don't do it, the younger brother's family will do it. As long as we Li Ji transport rice into the city to sell, how can other rice merchants sit still. After all, the big guy still refers to this meal. However, rest assured, the younger brother hereby promises that he will never raise the price of rice again, and will only sell it at the previous price. Li Yuanchen said calmly.

"Brother Li is so helpful, how grateful is it for my brother. For my brother, I celebrate the people, thank you brother. Yue Su said and stood up as well. Give Li Yuanchen a look.

"Brother is polite, you and I will be brothers, such trivial matters are within the younger brother's share." Li Yuanchen came this time to make friends with Yue Su. Again and again to give favors. But he also knows that this favor is not given for nothing, and he will have to rely on this future brother-in-law in the future.

The two chatted for a while, and Yue Su said that he wanted to leave Chen Dong's children behind, how could Li Yuanchen not give this face, and immediately agreed. In the end, Li Yuanchen got up to say goodbye, and Yue Su personally sent Li Yuanchen out, which was already a great honor, you must know that when the leaders of the Chu Party Ying Zhen and Wu Liangsi visited, Yue Su did not send them in person.

Li Ji Mi Xing, the location is a prosperous commercial street, although Yue Su set up the line here, but did not disturb the people, did not block the street, everything outside the door, are kept as they are, should do business to do business, should go shopping.

Out of the gate, the two of them took their leave, but at this time, they suddenly heard someone at the corner of the street shouting: "Boy, don't run!" "Stop!" "it, stinky boy, you dare to steal from us!" …… Hearing the shouting, Yue Su turned his head to look, and then found that a person had fled in a panic, carrying a cloth bag on his shoulder. Behind this man, there were five or six big men in hot pursuit. Seeing this scene, Yue Su's first reaction was that the person who fled in front of him was a thief, and he immediately said, "Jin Cicada, stop him." ”

Jin Cicada stood behind Yue Su, and when he heard this, he rushed to the middle of the street with an arrow, just waiting for someone to approach, raised his arm, and blocked the person's chest. The golden cicada has solid muscles, and the arm is like an iron rod, and the person who came is already panicked and panting, like a headless fly, how could he expect the golden cicada to suddenly stop it.

With a "bang", his chest was on the arm of the golden cicada, and the man couldn't stop his steps and fell directly backwards to the ground. The golden cicada then raised her foot and stepped directly on his chest.

Just this kung fu, the six men behind also rushed up, and when they saw Jin Cicada wearing a head-catcher service, they hurriedly clenched their fists and arched their hands, "Thank you for your help......

After saying that, one of them raised his leg and kicked at the person on the ground, and cursed in his mouth: ", let you run." Keep running, you wait to go back and see how Lao Tzu cleans you up! ”

This means that Yue Su didn't wear an official uniform, otherwise he wouldn't dare to borrow his courage. Yue Su saw that the man was fierce, and then looked at the person at the foot of the golden cicada. The man could be twenty-five or sixteen years old, lean, with a green face, and was visibly malnourished.

Then he asked, "What has happened to this man, that you will pursue him?" ”

The leading man glanced at Yue Su, and saw that Yue Su was behaving extraordinary, and there were many errand soldiers around him, and there were guards at the door, so he thought it was a character and didn't dare to offend. Hurriedly said: "This man stole the rice from our rice shop." ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Yue Suden was stunned.

Rice in the line of rice? All the rice shops in the entire Huaiqing City have been sealed, and all the grain in them has been pulled to the Fulai Rice Store and the Yunsheng Rice Store for safekeeping, so as to be uniformly distributed. I haven't heard of any rice row that has rice in it. Besides, now that the city is open for grain storage, and each person has two liters of rice per head, how can anyone steal rice again?

Yue Su remained silent, looked at the young man on the ground, and asked, "Now that the government has opened a warehouse to help the people, and each person in the city can receive two liters of grain and rice, why don't you go to receive rice, and you want to steal the rice from the rice store?" ”

"I'm really helpless, there are only two places in the city to send rice, there are many people who receive rice, it is a sea of people, I and my neighbors lined up for a day yesterday, and they didn't get on the wheel. If I change the usual, it doesn't hurt, at most I wait a few more days, but my wife is pregnant, and I haven't eaten a grain of rice for two days, so I have to go into the Meng Ji rice shop at night, get into the granary, and steal the rice. Just as I was about to escape through the skylight, I was caught up with them to carry rice to the warehouse, and I was discovered. I...... I just stole a pound of rice and wanted to go back and make a bowl of porridge for my wife......" said the young man, and he began to cry.
