Chapter 166: Snatching Food (2)

I have to say, this plan is really good!

Whether Yang Yuanchu knew it or not, 30 million stone grains were to be sent to the King of the Southeast, and he couldn't admit it. He was a new governor, and he actually bought private food, which was tantamount to letting Yang Yuanchu grasp the handle.

But Lin Guanqi's plan is equivalent to giving him the initiative.

Wu Liangqi did not delay at all, and immediately left for the Yang Mansion.

Yang Yuanchu was not surprised that he would come, and the two greeted each other politely.

Wu Liangqi first asked him how to deal with the case of the two Song and Zhao families who smuggled salt and grain?

Yang Yuanchu replied: "Zhao Tai and Song Xuantao have already confessed that they are indeed selling smuggled grain and salt to Xuanhe Prefecture, but they refuse to admit that they are used to finance Chen thieves. ”

“……”

However, selling smuggled grain and salt is already a capital crime, and the Song family and the Zhao family respectively sent letters of pleading for mercy, each voluntarily donating 200,000 taels of silver to save their lives. Thinking about it, the Song and Zhao families have deep roots in Yuezhou, and they have also made a lot of contributions in previous years, so they were exempted from capital crimes. ”

Wu Liangqi thought that Yang Yuanchu had 30 million stone grain and 400,000 taels of silver for nothing, and he was angry.

He said: "At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, do you know that the battle in Xuanhe Erzhou is fierce, Chen Thief is raising troops to rebel against the traitors, my uncle Southeast King and Chen Thief are fighting fiercely, and there is a shortage of food and grass. ”

"It's not easy for the king of the southeast, do we want to send reinforcements?" Yang Yuanchu said.

"I haven't received a request for reinforcements from my uncle for the time being, but I can send some grain and grass."

He said this, and it was already obvious!

"Alas, I should have thought that the king of the southeast was also very short of grain and grass. It's just that this official has issued an official document, announcing that he has confiscated 30 million stone grain from the Song family, and these grains and salt will be distributed to the poor people one after another. After I discussed this matter with Lanzhou, he was already gathering the literati to arrange the distribution of grain and salt! Yang Yuanchu said and shook his head.

Wu Liangqi listened to the sudden jump of his brows: "Is it possible to make 30 million stone grains, and all of them must be cleaned!" The people can't eat so much if they want to come! ”

"Duzhenfu is reasonable, but in recent years, Yuezhou has either been drought or flood, and Yuezhou's official treasury has long been empty. This time, the Song family's grain was robbed, and the remaining part was just enriched to the official treasury, and it could also be distributed to the people in the future. Yang Yuanchu said.

"......" Wu Liangqiqi's liver pain.

"Du Zhenfu, just now the official asked you, the king of the southeast needs reinforcements, you said no. Come to think of it, Xuanzhou must also be full of grain depots, and we really don't have to do this more. If the Chen thief turns around and sneaks up on Yuezhou, we will empty all the grain to Xuanzhou, and there is no food available in Yuezhou, how can the soldiers respond to the enemy when they are hungry? Yuezhou is in danger. ”

Wu Liangqi was in vain, and when he came out of Yang's house, his face was black.

Yang Xutang gathered the teachers and students of the academy to prepare for the distribution of food.

Yang Yuanchu was very cheerful, and he was already sending people to send a large amount of grain in a truckload, and the distribution was based on two stone of grain per household.

Yuezhou only has a population of about 100,000 households, and each household has two stone grains, and Yang Yuanchu also sent 400,000 stone grains out.

So he really made a fortune!

"Teacher, maybe my master will give 10 million stone grain or something to appease the Wu family?" Xingzhi said.

Yang Xutang smiled: "These grains and salt have entered my father's hands, it is not easy for him to squeeze hundreds of thousands of stones out to the people, the Wu family is his mortal enemy, and it is impossible to squeeze out a grain and salt from his hands!" ”

"So, they're going to fight!" Xingzhi said with some excitement.

“……”

Yang Xutang thought in his heart, his father and Wu Liangqi were going to fight sooner or later! As long as there is war, it is the people who suffer.

Instead of their repeated military conflicts, it is better to fight them once outright. Now send some food to the people, and only when there is a war will they have a chance to live.
