Chapter 124: The Invitation Succeeds
Ye Feng gave Zhang Yi the head of the Yellow Turban Army Marshal Chen Defeat in Zhang'an County, anyway, the merit had already been obtained, and it was useless for him to take it.
Zhang Yi can show it and show his merits after getting it, and Ye Feng can get a favor, why not do it.
However, he also knew that Zhang Yi was just saying kind words, and his request could not be excessive, so he immediately put forward the conditions that he had already thought of: "I want to hire a few craftsmen in the county."
There should be a few grandmasters in the county, even if they can't be abducted, they can be hired for a year and a half.
Zhang Yi immediately smiled boldly: "No problem, you can go and see it tomorrow, and I'll tell you if you like it."
"Then thank you General Zhang! I toast you. Ye Feng said and took a sip after picking up the wine glass and signaling.
Zhang Yi waved his hand: "It should be." I don't know if I can borrow Grandmaster Tian for a while, but you also know that there are many soldiers who are injured and need treatment this time. ”
MMP, I really want to dig into the corner. Ye Feng thought in his heart and smiled unchanged: "No problem, as long as Sect Master Tian agrees."
This time is also a test for Tian Bo, to see if he will be poached by Zhang Yi, but he believes that Tian Bo will not agree easily.
After continuing to idle for a while, Ye Feng felt that the time was almost up: "General, you see that now that the moth thief has been broken, those people should be dispersed tomorrow." But their food was robbed by moths, and they were afraid that there would be a famine. ”
Zhang Yi frowned: "Yes, millions of people can't ignore it, but this is a matter of the government, what does Little Brother Ye think?"
"But General, do you think the government can get so much food?" Ye Feng can't say that the government will not save him if he will die, and the government does not have this ability.
Zhang Yi's brows furrowed even deeper, and he nodded and said, "Not bad." It's just that these millions of people can't help but be saved, and more than half of the county's population is here. ”
Ye Feng smiled and said, "General, where do you think there is enough food?"
Zhang Yi pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "You mean those powerful families, it is completely impossible for them to come up with so much food. Don't look at them all giving me face now, but if you force them to give food, they will definitely resist. ”
"Of course it can't be, but we pay them to buy it at a fair price. This moth thief rebellion has a certain relationship with their previous price hikes, and they can be regarded as making up for their own mistakes. Ye Feng said his plan.
Zhang Yi thought to himself that his relationship with the Haoqiang family was not very good anyway, and he was not afraid to grudge with them for the sake of these millions of people.
The most important thing is that Ye Feng's method is very feasible, although there is resentment in buying it at a low price, but at least it will not force these people to resist, nodded and said: "Then little brother Ye, how much food do you think you need?"
Ye Feng smiled and said: "General, I estimate that there are at least five million people who have been victimized this time, and at least half a month's worth of food needs to be prepared, so it is best to prepare 100 million units of grain." For the sake of these people, I am willing to donate 100 gold to buy food. ”
Zhang Yi got up and bowed: "Little Brother Ye Gaoyi, the people of Zhang'an County will definitely remember your great kindness."
Ye Feng hurriedly helped him up and said sincerely: "It shouldn't be like this, I'm just for peace of mind."
Zhang Yi said excitedly: "Little Brother Ye, don't worry, I will start raising food tomorrow and distributing food to help the victims." Alas! If other people can be like the little brothers, no people will starve to death. ”
Ye Feng was also very happy to have completed the goal, and chatted with Zhang Yichang before resting.
He found that Qi Xiu's speculation about Zhang Yi was basically accurate, although Zhang Yi also had selfish intentions, but at least he still loved the people.
Through chatting, he knew that Zhang Yi was from a poor family, and when he came to Zhang'an County, he was not courteous to the government and the Haoqiang family, and he was even more excluded before.
Now there is a great chaos in the world, these people are afraid of the strength of the town border army, so they have reined in, after all, these people are not fools, and now the government decree is not passed, only those who have the strength in their hands have the right to speak.
After the two chatted, Zhang Yi went to the county mansion again, not knowing what happened, but he came out very angrily soon after.
Then he had the town's border army take over the city's defenses, and ordered that no one should be allowed to go out.
The next morning, Zhang Yi took his guards to visit the mansion of the powerful family in the county.
At the same time, after a night of anxiety, the people outside the city finally learned the news that the rebels were defeated by the official army, and most of them took off the yellow scarves on their heads and chose to go home, many of them were actually captured by the yellow turban army.
However, almost all of them are a little confused in their eyes, because they have no food at home, and they don't know how to survive next.
Even those who still believe in the way of peace in their hearts don't dare to stay here anymore, who knows when the official army will come to exterminate them, even the invincible rebel army has failed, and they have no idea of resisting.
Zhang Yi was a resolute person, and when Ye Feng finished breakfast in the morning, he saw that the army on the edge of the town was pulling out truckloads of grain from the grain stores in the county town, and then transporting it to the city gates on both sides.
He followed to take a look, and there were already hundreds of stalls distributing food outside the north city gate, each with many soldiers maintaining order.
There were already long queues in front of some of the stalls, and each person could only receive one unit of food per day, but now these people were no longer moth thieves, but famine-stricken victims, and no one dared to make trouble.
Ye Feng suddenly saw that Feng Shi was helping, and hurriedly walked over and hugged his fists and said, "Mr. Feng, after a month's absence, your old demeanor is better than in the past."
Feng Shi said in surprise: "Thank you for helping the county to break the siege." At the same time, I thank you for your life. As he spoke, he bowed down and bowed.
Ye Feng hurriedly supported him: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Does the old gentleman know that it is me? ”
Feng Shi stroked his beard with a smile on his face: "I heard that Zhang Yi said that the Ye family butcher shop donated 100 gold to the victims, so I knew it must be you."
Well, it seems that Zhang Yi didn't hide it, so it can be regarded as an advertisement for the shop opened in the county seat, at least no officials will find trouble in the future.
Ye Feng arched his hand and said: "This time, I would like to thank Mr. for introducing General Zhang Yi to us."
Feng Shi waved his hand: "This time, the people in the county have survived this hurdle. Alas! I wonder what happened to the people in other places. ”
Ye Feng comforted: "The imperial court will definitely defeat the moth thieves and let the people live and work in peace and contentment again."
"Alas! Let's hope so! Feng Shi withdrew his gaze from the sky.
Ye Feng arched his hand and said, "I don't know what Mr. thinks about my previous proposal?"
Feng Shi waved his hand: "Old, old, and weak."
"I think there is a lot more that Sir can do for the people. I want to hire my husband as a teacher, I don't know what he thinks? "Ye Feng will not give up easily.
Feng Shi was surprised: "Who are you taught?" He didn't expect Ye Feng to ask him to teach.
Ye Feng was happy in his heart: "All the children in our town can study, and now there are more than 40,000 students in the library."
Feng Shi was even more surprised: "Oh, then I'm going to take a look." Generally, only the wealthy can afford to read, which is already the consensus of society.
"Thank you, sir!" Ye Feng bowed excitedly. It's done, as long as you go to the territory, don't think about running.
