Chapter 506: Borrowing Grain
Chapter 506: Borrowing Grain
"My lord, it's not good, the granary, the granary is destroyed!"
The housekeeper stumbled all the way, covered in mud, grabbed Zheng Anguan's clothes and made the news from outside clear.
But this granary was destroyed, and Chengtianfu, which was already poor and couldn't open the pot, was talking about disaster relief?
Zheng Anguan sat back in his chair, his eyes empty.
Suddenly, he hugged his head and cried, calling God unfair, why should such natural and man-made disasters befall Chengtianfu.
Before a few people could think of a solution, another guard came running outside, shouting that the homeless people outside the city were in trouble, and I was afraid that it would not be long before they broke into the city.
Chu Hengyu hurriedly took Bai Susu and the others to go, and the prefect also rushed to the city gate crookedly accompanied by the housekeeper.
When Bai Susu arrived, the city gate was almost knocked open by the homeless, if it weren't for those guards who were desperate to top the gate, they would have broken in at this time.
Seeing that the guards already had the urge to take a knife, Zheng Anguan hurriedly rushed to the front to stop it.
As soon as they saw their own adults, the guards had confidence.
"Folks, folks, listen to me!"
Zheng Anguan's voice was insignificant in the shouts of the homeless people, and he was already drowned in the sea of people as soon as he exited.
Baizhu directly struck the gong and squeezed a way out of the homeless, which allowed them to begin a short period of stability.
With all the things that the impostors did in previous years, how could anyone still believe his words?
No matter how nice Zheng Anguan says, the displaced people can only look at the immediate benefits.
"Is there really no way to save them?"
Bai Susu muttered.
Chu Hengyu glanced at her, ripped off the token on his waist, and asked Cang Er to pass a few words to Zheng Anguan for him.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Anguan listened, and directly took the guards behind him to kneel down to Chu Hengyu, shouting, "Chengtianfu is saved, Lord Chu is saving his life today, Zheng is willing to repay Lord Chu's kindness in the future!" ”
Bai Susu was stunned, what did Chu Hengyu say to them?
Later, in what Zheng Anguan said to the displaced people, Bai Susu learned that when he left Xuanyang Mansion, the prefect had promised that if Chengtian Mansion was really unable to survive the difficulties, they were willing to share half of the granary with them.
While Zheng Anguan asked people to track down the destruction of the granary, he hurriedly sent someone to Xuanyang Mansion with the letter given by Chu Hengyu to ask for help.
With the arrival of grain from Xuanyang Mansion in batches, not to mention the people of Chengtian Mansion, even the displaced people have settled down.
As long as there is food, they will live.
After solving the problem here, Chu Hengyu once again proposed to set off, Zheng Anguan thanked him again and again, and asked people to make a lot of cakes for Chu Hengyu to bring overnight, not only to prevent the next stop from being far away and Chu Hengyu from having nowhere to eat, but also to let him go out with some food when he met the homeless.
Bai Susu looked at it and smiled.
"Lord Zheng, you can't protect yourself, why do you still think about helping others? If you are really kind, then hurry up and make meritorious contributions, clean up this mess, and do whatever you want to help in the future. ”
Zheng Anguan's face was full of shame, and he should have been.
After getting into the carriage, Chu Hengyu only talked about what happened just now.
"Why do you bother to say those things to him, if he is unreasonable, he may complain against you."
"It just so happens that Master Zheng is a sensible person."
Bai Susu took the washed fruit and handed it to Chu Hengyu, and before Chu Hengyu wanted to take it, he immediately took it back, put it in his mouth and took a bite as if angry.
"Fruit is such a precious thing, and it can't be eaten by Lord Chu who doesn't know anything."
Chu Hengyu didn't care about her either, he read books when he didn't have fruit, and what he read was different from usual, all of which were the previous recorded cases of drought relief.
Even if Bai Susu leaned over to look at it, she didn't know the traditional Chinese characters on it, so she had to ask a few from time to time.
After reading it, Bai Susu couldn't help but complain again.
"Although the drought is terrible, since there are so many examples in the past, we should also do some prevention and control measures, such as last year's flood, if we can prevent and control it in advance, how can there be so many deaths?"
"The imperial court allocates a lot of money every year to build embankments, but"
Bai Susu smiled disdainfully.
In this era of underdeveloped transportation, if you want to walk from Kyoto to the border, you have to walk for a month, not to mention whether the prevention and control have been implemented, or if you want to pass on a message, it will take some time to go back and forth, plus those people in the imperial court are grinding and chirping to give a plan, and when they arrive there, it will be too late.
What else are you talking about disaster relief?
"Could it be that you have some attention?"
Bai Susu nibbled on the fruit and shook his head.
"I didn't pay attention, but I remember that I picked up some prevention measures in some miscellaneous books before, and I told you to hear it, and you should be, just let me tell you a story."
Bai Susu briefly talked about some modern prevention and control methods, and the explanation was not detailed, but he also gave Chu Hengyu a clear general appearance.
Whenever there was anything that Chu Heng couldn't understand, Bai Susu had to explain it to him one by one, and even took out a piece of paper to draw it for him to show his intentions.
If it weren't for the foundation of some illustrations, I really don't know how today's explanation would have continued.
Those Bai Susu who were too advanced didn't dare to tell him, and if he did, he couldn't achieve it, and maybe he would be captured as a monster, so it wasn't worth it.
Rao was like this, Chu Hengyu still couldn't help but be shocked.
What kind of miscellaneous book can write such a governance plan, but why Bai Susu can say it so clearly as if he has seen it with his own eyes.
For Bai Susu, Chu Hengyu naturally believed it, and even if he had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask more.
Bai Su Su was still dull at this time, but when Chu Hengyu didn't see that she was lying, he secretly rejoiced in his heart for a while.
This time everyone was lucky, and they came across an inn on the side of the road in the evening.
I can't find the location of the store in front of the village, and maybe there will be more people on a normal day, but at this time, there is only one inn Xiao Er who lives and dozes off on the counter with his chin.
The tables, chairs and benches in the store are clean, but because of the flickering candles, this inn looks more like a ghost movie.
Bai Susu stepped forward and grabbed Chu Hengyu's sleeve to give himself courage.
"Hey, how many rooms do you have?"
Xiao Er was so frightened that he looked up and saw Baizhu's burly body even more trembling, and he hid behind while laughing.
"Is this guest staying at the hotel? Hehe, there is no one in our store these days, you guys, there are a lot of people, you can live. ”
"Of course I know that I can live there, this"
"The master is behind, be careful when you speak."
Cang'er's reminder made Bai Shu shut his mouth stupidly, and simply stepped aside, saving himself from saying something that shouldn't be said.
"Two upper rooms, the rest of us have one room, you can arrange it."
When Xiao Er heard this, he was immediately happy.
Picked up the cloth towel on his shoulder, patted it on his body a few times, and then bent down to Cang'er, "You are tired of coming and traveling, so the little one will go and arrange a room for you, I don't know if you need to prepare some meals?" ”
