As long as Rong Jiu is positioned as a guard who brings his own food and does not need to pay silver, then no matter what Rong Jiu does, Cheng Qing will tolerate the other party.

The water bandits were not cut down and eradicated, and Cheng Qing always thought that he would encounter an ambush when he left Huai'an City.

Now that An An'an has changed his land route, Cheng Qing feels that it is Rong Jiu's credit.

The signboard of the Rong family, or the signboard of Governor Shi, is hard enough, and the water bandits dare not risk provoking it...... Cheng Qing really wanted to be grateful to Rong Jiu, but unfortunately the two didn't talk about it.

Cheng Qing asked Wu Er to find a market town to buy meat.

When he came back, Wu Er said that the price of meat was expensive, and a pound of pork in the capital was less than 20 Wen, and most of the time it fluctuated between 15 and 18 Wen, and it was sold here for 45 Wen, and it was almost 5 taels of silver to buy 100 catties of meat, and Wu Er bought all the butcher shops in the market town and only had more than 300 catties of meat.

More than 300 catties of pork, 200 guards and guards have enough meat for a day.

However, Cheng Qing was still too little, so she asked the butchers to help deliver the meat, as long as she could keep up with the team transporting grain, she would give it at a price of fifty wen a catty, and she would like as much as she wanted.

Before Huainan arrived, the price of pork was three times that of the capital, the price of meat was expensive, and the price of grain was not cheap.

If it weren't for the disaster year, the price of rice here would be almost five coins of silver per stone, and now one stone of rice has risen to two taels of silver.

"With such an expensive price of rice, the grain store can't open it to sell, because the price of grain is rising every day, and it is one price to go today, and another price to go tomorrow!"

The closer he got to Huainan, Cheng Qing could feel that the weather was dry.

Even if the area near Huainan is not affected, this year's grain will definitely be in arrears!

Wu Er originally went to buy meat, but when he came back, he was depressed, and he was getting closer to Huainan, which reminded Wu Er's previous memory, the Wu brothers were in their hometown and there was a famine, except for the brothers who survived, everyone else in the family starved to death.

Thinking about it like this, Wu Er didn't think there was anything wrong with eating steamed buns.

The victims in Huainan couldn't even drink gruel, so he didn't even think he was eating well enough?

With this kind of mentality, it's almost like being struck by lightning!

Young Master Rong Jiu should be struck by lightning, not to mention that pork has risen to forty-five wen a catty, that is, it has risen to four hundred wen, or even four taels of silver a catty, Young Master Rong Jiu can afford to eat it.

Rong Jiu followed behind the grain transport team with dozens of servants, and the uneaten meals were dumped on the side of the road at will, his original intention was probably to cause a commotion in the grain transport team, Cheng Qing asked Wu Er to purchase pork in time, in addition to supplying the soldiers and guards of the guards, the more than 2,000 people who transported the grain could also get a thousand catties of pork every day.

1,000 catties of pork only cost 40 taels of silver, and Cheng Qing and the fifth prince turned into a lot of silver taels along the way, which Cheng Qing could accept.

When she separated from the five princes, the five princes directly gave her 10,000 taels of silver tickets, which could be spent on people and things related to disaster relief.

If it is used for enjoyment, 10,000 taels of silver are put into it, and it may not even be able to furnish a house, but it is used to buy basic living materials, even if it is affected by Huainan, the price of rice and meat has skyrocketed, and the purchasing power of 10,000 taels of silver is terrifying - just a few dozen taels of silver a day can make the people more at ease to transport grain, and this silver is definitely worth spending!

What's more, this silver didn't let Cheng Qing pay out of his pocket, He Lao Yuanwai not only followed and left Huai'an City, but also donated 20,000 taels of silver in the name of the He family's weaving workshop.

Therefore, Cheng Qing now has 30,000 taels of silver in her hand to use, and the cost of dozens of taels of silver a day is nothing, and she no longer has to watch the people eat bran with her conscience, even if the accounts for disaster relief are handed to the emperor, Cheng Qing is not weak.

What she did was not out of the ordinary, she was to stabilize the morale of the army!

Rong Jiu is still too young, showing off his wealth in front of Cheng Qing, if Cheng Qing intends to kill the Rong family, there is no need to engage in any conspiracy, just write down the things he saw along the way and hand it to the emperor, and the Rong family will be unlucky.

Rong Jiu ordered people to dump food, which affected the people who transported grain, and Cheng Qing stabilized the morale of the army in time, but this matter still had a bad impact on the future.

The victims who escaped from Huainan gnawed all the bark and grass roots, and finally escaped from Huainan, only to find that someone was dumping food.

The victims didn't care about their grief and indignation, and followed behind a group of people from the Rong family with surprise, waiting to grab the food dumped by the Rong family to fill their stomachs.

From one or two, it quickly grew to a group.

After only two days of walking, hundreds of victims gathered together and followed the Rong family's team from a distance.

"Idiot!"

Cheng Qing scolded Rong Jiu.

He Wan worried, "The more and more these victims gather, will they loot?" ”

Cheng Qing asked He Wan to remove the "will not", the looting is certain, it depends on when to start.

Now hundreds of disaster victims, all of them have yellow muscles and thin feet, and they are not sure that they will win against dozens of strong subordinates of the Rong family.

But there are more of them...... The people who gathered together may have little to worry about.

After robbing the Rong family, these people tasted the sweetness, and they would set their sights on the grain transportation team.

Coupled with the guards and soldiers, Cheng Qing has nearly 300 guards with weapons on her side, she is not afraid of thousands of victims, she doesn't want to kill them!

Can't let Rong Jiu follow anymore.

The farther away from the canal, the more weak Rong Jiu's "free guard" function becomes, but it drags it down.

Cheng Qing wanted to drive Rong Jiu away, and the first batch of people sent by the chief steward of the governor's mansion to intercept Rong Jiu also chased after him, they wanted to ask Rong Jiu to go back, Rong Jiu didn't want to go, the people sent by the big butler were very clever, saying that Rong had a fetal gas for this matter, Rong Jiu carried a horsewhip and shook it a few times at the air, and had no choice but to turn around and turn back - Xiao Pan heard Rong Jiu scolding in his mouth, worried about his sister's body, and left reluctantly.

As soon as Rong Jiu left, hundreds of victims felt that they had something to eat with Rong Jiu, and they also left after Rong Jiu.

Xiao Pan relayed the words of the Shi family to Cheng Qing, and Cheng Qing was very disappointed.

According to the routine, the Shi family wants to trouble her, if the Shi family comes forward, Cheng Qing will definitely take the opportunity to rely on Governor Shi.

I didn't expect the Shi family to come according to the routine.

Moreover, Young Master Rong Jiu is the second in middle school, and he is also a young man who cares about his sister, he originally looked like he was going to fight hard with Cheng Qing, but when he heard that his sister was sick, he really took a breath and left!

Cheng Qing raised his evaluation of Rong Jiu in his heart.

This evaluation only lasted for half a day, because half a day later, Xiao Pan said that he heard the sound of horses' hooves rushing and heard the sound of weapons intersecting.

"Young master, young master, someone is running here...... A lot of people ......."

Cheng Qing looked at the city wall in the distance and ordered the grain transportation team to speed up.

"Li Baihu, Wu Er, and Sun An obeyed orders, lined up, prepared to defend against the enemy, and bought time for the people who transported grain, and they must be allowed to enter the city!"

20,000 stone of grain cannot be lost.

The people were frightened, Cheng Qing climbed onto the roof of the carriage and shouted, "You are afraid of a fart, even if you encounter a scarf thief, the first person they want to kill is this official...... Everyone obeyed the order, and now speed up into the city, if anyone dares to defect to the enemy or escape, this official will kill him before killing the thief! ”

The former is a wolf and the latter is a tiger, and the meat that Lord Cheng gave everyone to eat is really life-buying.

Don't dare to disobey Master Cheng!

The people didn't care about the distress of the livestock, shook the whip in their hands loudly, and desperately walked in the direction of the city wall.

Cheng Qing sent He Wan and He Lao Waiwai away together, He Wan wanted Cheng Qing to retreat together, Cheng Qing shook his head: "No, [ www.biquwu.biz], as soon as I leave, people's hearts will be scattered, and if you can't resist the thieves, don't want to live." ”
