007 Buy rice and give it away

At night, the two teams rushed back to the post station in a heap.

Rong Heng noticed that Ji Baichu today was not as drunk as before, and his clothes and boots were stained with a lot of mud, so he didn't want to say anything to him, just stared at the grain cart and walked towards the granary.

"Your Highness, please wait."

Ji Baichu jumped down from the ox cart, propped one hand on the sack containing the grain, and pinched it.

"Your Highness, where did you receive this? And at what price? ”

As soon as he heard this, Wang Ye Yi knew that this evil star was probably here to settle accounts, and he hurriedly beckoned people to leave quickly, but the grain truck was stopped, and they couldn't break in, so they could only look at Wang Ye Yi with blank eyes.

Lord Yi looked away with his hands behind his back as if nothing happened, he was also helpless, this evil star is not under his control, do you say that he is angry?

"You go eat first, and then come back and deal with that later."

Ji Baichu's face was expressionless, even if it was everyone's pardon, he couldn't see the ghost after a while.

Rong Heng glanced back, and Lord Yi also ran away.

On the empty street, only the grain carts and horses were left to accompany him, he pursed his lips and replied: "There are a total of twelve carts here, all of which are collected from Tonglu Town and from retail households for 400 wen per bucket of rice, which is almost half lower than the usual market price. ”

"Is there anything that deserves my satisfaction?" Ji Baichu touched the sack, and suddenly scratched it hard, and a large number of yellow and white rice grains were scattered all over the ground, and there were many small stones mixed in it.

Rong Heng even forgot to get angry, and took out the dagger in his sleeve pocket to cut through the bag of rice below, exactly the same situation, or even worse.

"How could this be......" he couldn't believe it. I was watching them load into the car......"

This kind of food, let alone three hundred wen and one bucket, will be scolded for nothing.

Ji Baichu rolled his eyes silently, and even swearing was praising him, so he turned around and found Wang Ye Yi, who was eating a lot of food, and asked him to deal with these rotten rice things.

Of course, Yi Wangye knew that he had been tricked, and he was so angry that he couldn't sit still, and he had to take his brothers to settle the accounts when he picked up the guy, after all, Ji Baichu was a robber, and Yi Wangye was a bandit, and it was a natural ability to rob money.

Rong Heng also wanted to go with him, but was dragged by Ji Baichu, "Your Highness, you have other things to do." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Buy grain." She said.

"Just the two of us? Why don't you take more people with you? His eyes widened.

"If you want the world to know that the Twelve Princes came to Jiangnan for disaster relief, and they were blind and bought a bunch of useless broken grain and rotten grain, you should just call more people to come."

"Yes...... At this time, where can I buy food? ”

Rong Heng is really anxious at this time, seeing that the clouds have gathered in the past two days, it will rain heavily tomorrow, and the river will overflow, causing floods, and it will be out of control.

"Look at the black market."

Black market? Isn't that a place dedicated to the circulation of swag? Will they still sell grain? Even if there is food to sell, the price will not be low......

Half an hour later, when Rong Heng watched bags of rice being transported into the granary, and Wang Ye Yi and the others also dragged back with the grain, his heart fell to the ground.

He once again appreciated Ji Baichu's rogue kung fu, and he borrowed 250,000 taels of silver worth of rice and agricultural seeds from the black market on credit with his three-inch tongue, and he really couldn't do this.

"Where did all this food come from?" Lord Yi quietly walked to Rong Heng's side, covered his mouth and asked in a low voice.

"Scammed by the black market." Rong Heng said angrily.

"How did you deceive you? I also learned, and I was able to respond to emergencies when the military salary was delayed by the household department! Lord Yi grabbed Rong Heng's arm excitedly.

Rong Heng turned his head sideways and paused word by word, "He deceived the daughters of the big family, and these are the dowries paid by the big family." ”

"Ah...... Ji Baichu, he is a eunuch, ......" Lord Yi gasped in embarrassment.

"The girl said that as long as the face is good-looking, it doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman."

"Oh, Ji Bai Chu is so blessed!" Wang Ye Yi sighed with emotion, when will he meet a big fool who is 250,000 taels as soon as he makes a move......

As soon as all the food was arranged, the rain fell from the sky all night.

Everyone got up earlier than before, feeling the darkness before the levee collapsed, piling up boulders and filling them with earth.

Thanks to the widened river, they have enough time to do these precautions, although Ji Baichu said that this is all useless, but he Rong Heng is not convinced, he doesn't believe that he Ji Baichu can strategize every time!

It's only been one night, and the embankment they have been reinforcing without sleep has been washed away, and Rong Heng looked at the dark clouds that he didn't know when they would dissipate, "What about Ji Baichu?" ”

"The Governor and Lord Yi have gone downstream, and they are persuading the villagers to move."

Rong Heng's face froze, the matter of the embankment had not been resolved, so they went to relocate the villagers, it seemed that they were sure that the embankment would not be able to hold, and he did not believe that those villagers would easily move the old house obediently.

An hour later, he believed.

I don't know what kind of poison Ji Baichu gave to these villagers, coaxed them to move the ancestral house and thanked them a thousand times, when they met those stubborn, they didn't need the soldiers to take action, and the villagers who were poisoned had already helped to take people away.

It was originally the most difficult work, but it was completed the fastest, and it was obviously the easiest way to reinforce the embankment, but it was a mess, and it was difficult for Rong Heng to accept such a reality.

Since the relocation of the villagers was very smooth, the soldiers who built the dam were transferred to build temporary shelters for the villagers, and set up tents to cook porridge and steam steamed buns.

Another night passed, and the rain gradually subsided when it was almost dawn, Rong Heng thought, while it was still raining, he would rush to repair the embankment, but the soldiers were all there for the villagers......

"Let's go."

Hearing that Rong Heng borrowed someone to repair the embankment, Ji Baichu readily agreed, but when he saw that there were only ten people, and one of them was a girl, Rong Heng's face darkened.

"Just a few people? Also, what is she going to do? ”

"Isn't twelve men enough to build a dam? It seems that His Highness is going to build a new one. Ji Baichu shook off the hay on the hem of his clothes and looked at Lin Lin on the side, "As for her, have you heard of raising a tripod with one hand?" Can she, can Your Highness? ”

Rong Heng, "......" skeptical gaze swept to Lin Lin, who was no different from bean sprouts, and he was silent.

I'll know later if Ji Baichu is lying!

However, he seems to have overlooked a more important point - he also had to go into the water to build a dam.

Lin Lin had a boulder in his hand, and his speed was even more agile than that of a cadre of soldiers next to him, and they sighed to themselves.

Ji Baichu also rolled up his trouser legs and sleeves, and stood barefoot on a high wooden frame to fix it.

Rong Heng clung to the wooden shelf, wrapped the hem of his clothes around his waist, and carefully learned from Ji Baichu to fix it, so as not to let himself fall into the river, and then, in his original form......
