The next day, there were porridge sheds in all counties of Beidi County, and although the porridge in the bowl was clear enough to reflect the human figure, the people did not complain at all, because the county magistrates of each county were next to the porridge shed, drinking the clear rice porridge and eating coarse dry bread.

Even if it is thrifty, the rice grain of Beidi County can only last for four days, and the entire Beidi County is completely out of grain, and now the warehouse of Beidi County is empty, and all the grain and rice are sent to the counties, and at this time, Mizhu has not come to any news, and the soldiers sent to the nearby counties to ask for food have not returned, are all the soldiers and refugees drinking the northwest wind to live?

Zhang Li heard that Jia Rong was summoned, put down the affairs in his hand and hurried over, looking at Jia Rong sitting on the chair with a calm and relaxed look, Zhang Li couldn't help but admire, if he faced such an embarrassing situation, the shoes on his feet could be twisted a few pairs, remembering that Jia Rong mentioned a few days ago that he should be stable in handling things, Zhang Li straightened his sleeves, and after giving a salute, he sat down in the next position at Jia Rong's signal.

It seems that Jia Rong is extremely relaxed, but in fact, he is already anxious in his heart, and he goes straight to the point and says: "Zirong, now that there is no food in the city, what should I do in Zirong's opinion?" ”

Zhang Liluo pondered for a moment and replied: "Lord, the four great families of Beidi County, the lord should know, right?" ”

Jia Rong asked puzzledly: "It wasn't Zirong who mentioned those families before, but he was actually on the opposite side of us, why did he mention the four great families now?" ”

Zhang Li said slowly: "Lord, so far, we have no conflict with the four great families, as long as the lord is willing to lower his profile, the four great families will still sell a favor to the lord, and then we can wait for the arrival of Mizhu's grain and rice." ”

Jia Rong picked up the teacup in front of him, turned it around repeatedly in his hand, and after a long time, he gently put the cup on the table, sighed and said: "In Zirong's opinion, as long as you can save those disaster victims, you will not hesitate to pay a big price." ”

Zhang Li was moved, if everyone in the Han Dynasty is like this, why worry about the uncertainty at home and abroad, Zhang Li also understands that the Han family is not something that the current Beidi County can shake, the officials of the Han Dynasty are basically from the family, and the family is an important class of the Han Dynasty, Jia Rong's series of governance plans have greatly weakened the interests of the family, but the two have not conflicted, Zhang Li, who knows the influence of the family, naturally hopes that the relationship between Jia Rong and the family will ease, so that he can talk after returning to the family.

A sedan chair carried by four people left the Taishou Mansion and walked slowly towards the area where the four great families lived not far away, the four great families lived in the four directions of the city, east and west, north and south, Jia Rong sat in a black official uniform, and repeatedly stroked the green sword in his hand expressionlessly, Jia Rong didn't know when he developed the habit of stroking the green sword whenever something happened.

Jia Rong went to the Wang family, one of the four great families, and the Wang family is the eldest of the four major families in Beidi County, both in terms of financial resources and relationships, they are above the other three families.

The four great families have been rooted in Beidi County for generations, and any slightest disturbance cannot hide from the eyes of several masters, and Wang Gu, the head of the Wang family who got the news, has been waiting outside the door for a long time, opening the middle door to welcome Jia Rong.

Jia Rong is a party Taishou, a feudal official, the Wang family is just a family in Beidi County, although the former Jia Rong issued an edict that harmed the interests of the Wang family, the two sides still get along very harmoniously, and now Jia Rong personally came to visit, which means that Lord Taishou has sent a signal of what to understand, and Wang Gu, the head of the Wang family, is naturally happy.

The sedan chair walked very slowly, and the journey of a quarter of an hour took half an hour.

Jia Rong opened the sedan curtain and walked down, the Wang family's actions had already been reported to Jia Rong by the guards.

"Wang Gu greets Lord Taishou!" With the sound of plopping, dozens of people from the Wang family all knelt on the ground, looking at the kneeling people, Jia Rong was also a little fluttering, your Wang family is no longer a bull fork to see the person Ben Taishou is not going to bow three times and bow nine times.

Jia Rong pretended to help Wang Gu up, and said with a smile: "The head of the Wang family doesn't have to be so polite!" ”

Wang Gu warmly welcomed Jia Rong into the house, the layout of the courtyard is unique, and the architectural style is quite a bit of a small bridge and flowing water.

After welcoming Jia Rong into the mansion, Wang Gu immediately ordered his family to hold a banquet.

The banquet of the Wang family is really sumptuous, so that Jia Rong, who has not seen fish and meat for a long time, feasts happily, and eats without realizing that his mouth is full of oil, and all the family members of the Wang family toast, and Jia Rong does not refuse to come.

A junior of the Wang family toasted, took a bite of the chicken leg in his left hand, took a cup with his right hand and drank it all, smashed it and smashed his mouth, looking unfinished, looking at Jia Rong's appearance, the people of the Wang family put down the chopsticks in their hands and quietly watched Jia Rong perform alone.

Jia Rong didn't feel embarrassed, eating enough is the most important thing, anyway, these families are not right with themselves, eat and drink more to make them feel distressed, Jia Rong thought of a weak reason to comfort himself.

The banquet finally ended, except for Wang Gu and Jia Rong, the others quickly fled the banquet scene, the Han Dynasty claimed to be the state of etiquette, and it was difficult to find a second one for the entire Han Dynasty.

Jia Rong seemed to be dizzy, and his words were incoherent, Wang Gu chatted with Jia Rong happily on the side, and his tone was respectful, so that people couldn't find any fault.

Suddenly, Jia Rong took Wang Gu's hand and said, "Master Wang, don't you all hate me as a guard?" ”

Looking at Jia Rong's drunken and hazy appearance, Wang Gu smiled faintly and said, "Lord Taishou is joking, the family supports Lord Taishou!" ”

"Really?" Jia Rong asked.

"It's true! Just ......"

"Just what?"

Wang Gu sighed and said, "Don't say it!" ”

The drunken Jia Rong was aroused by Wang Gu's curiosity, how could he stop, grabbed Wang Gu's shirt tightly, and said: "If you don't say it, you and I are both from Beidi County, and we should support each other, so we can say whatever we want." "Jia Rong's military temperament is revealed.

Wang Gu felt a burst of joy in his heart, and said, "Taishou... Your Excellency's Edict... Let... We... These families... In Northland... It's hard to move an inch! ”

Jia Rong's footsteps staggered, and he yelled: "This matter is easy to do!" Your family's business in Northland County and other matters such as the Taishou Mansion will not be involved, as long as you don't contradict the Taishou Mansion. After Jia Rong finished speaking, he waved his big hand, extremely heroic, but the smell of wine spurting out of his mouth made people dare not compliment.

Wang Gu breathed a long sigh of relief, the recent family contraction is afraid that Jia Rong will take the opportunity to attack the family, people are under the eaves, and they have to bow their heads, the Wang family is not as good as those big families, and it is only a small family in the border county, when Jia Rong first took office, Beidi County was an empty shelf, and there was no shadow of the family among the officials, which was also the only special place in the Han Dynasty.

People under the eaves of this sentence is also suitable for the current Jia Rong, now that Beidi County is out of food, these families will soon learn that they will pay a greater price if they sit on the ground, and they will have to compromise temporarily, Jia Rong also said vaguely, what is not against the Taishou Mansion, as long as they rectify them, just take a reason.

Wang Gu thought that Jia Rong had drunk too much, and there was nothing unclear and unclear, and under the surprise wash, he did not have the shrewdness of the past, and flattered Jia Rong vigorously, looking at Jia Rong's continuous smugness, Wang Gu's eyes flashed with contempt, everyone said that this Taishou Lord was arrogant and unreasonable, and now when he looks at it, it is a piece of cake, and he is a reckless man.

"If you have any requirements in the future, just mention it, the Wang family will definitely support Lord Taishou!" Wang Gu said with a smile.

Jia Rong grabbed Wang Gu's shriveled hands and asked, "Is what the head of the Wang family said true?" ”

Wang Gu hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

Jia Rong said: "The Wang family master is loyal and commendable, there was still a shortage of grain and grass in Beidi County before, I wonder if the family owner can fund some?" ”

The four major families are involved in the transaction of grain and rice, so naturally there will be no shortage of rice and grain, but Jia Rong can't be allowed to grab the pigtail, Wang Gu said embarrassedly: "The Wang family has hundreds of mouths, and they can't take out too much grain and rice..."

Jia Rong snorted and said: "Now there are still a few people missing from the Taishou Mansion."

Wang Gu was very excited when he heard this, it would be of great benefit to the family to let the people of the family hold a position in the Taishou Mansion, and he immediately said: "Don't worry, my lord, the Wang family will definitely do their best!" ”

"How much rice and grain does the head of the Wang family want to donate to the Taishou Mansion?" Jia Rong asked drunkenly.

Wang Gu thought for a moment and replied: "The Wang family is willing to donate 500 stone of rice and grain!" ”

Seeing Jia Rong looking at himself stunned and not saying a word, Wang Gu thought that Jia Rong disliked donating too little, for the future of the family, Wang Gu gritted his teeth and said: "The Wang family is willing to donate 1,000 stone of rice and grain!" ”

Jia Rong was not satisfied with Wang Gu's donation of too little, but was surprised that Wang Gu donated so much rice and grain at one time, and heard Wang Gu say that he would donate 1,000 stone of rice grain, Jia Rong still didn't react.

Wang Gu said with a bitter face: "My lord, the Wang family can only donate so much. ”

Jia Rong patted Wang Gu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The head of the Wang family is generous and loyal, and in a few days, the head of the family can let the juniors of the clan report to the Taishou Mansion." ”

Wang Gu knelt down excitedly and bowed: "Thank you, Lord Taishou!" Looking at Jia Rong, the more he looked, the more pleasing it became.

Jia Rong deliberately shook it from side to side a few times, and said with a smile: "I drank too much today." ”

With the support of the Wang family's maids, Jia Rong got on the official sedan chair step by step, and the four big men carried the sedan chair to the Taishou Mansion.

Jia Rong's eyes in the sedan chair were clear, how could he still be drunk and incoherent just now, his brows were furrowed, and he kept thinking about the trip to the Wang family just now.

After this trip to the Wang family, Jia Rong's heart once again set off turbulent waves, the family's liliang is too powerful, so strong that people can't imagine it, just a family in a border county can export a thousand stone of grain and rice, if it goes to the opposite side with these families, even if the world is unified, it is difficult to govern, 95% of the local governance officials of the Han Dynasty are from the family, in the Han Empire, where the family is full of families, the family will win the world; Thinking about it deeply, cold sweat soaked his clothes, and this situation made it difficult for Jia Rong to resist the family.
