Chapter 152: Hurry up and catch fast
Now that the government has the money for disaster relief, it has bought a lot of food, but it still can't go outside the city to help the victims, because those who storm the city gate are getting more and more fierce.
The gates had not been opened for two days, and the people inside could not get out, and the people from the outside could not enter.
The materials cannot be brought in, and the prices of the things sold in the shops in the city are getting higher and higher day by day, and the shelves are becoming more and more empty.
The people in the city started a rush to buy.
In the evening, Niu returned home, took out the money box, and said to Liu Dahe: "Let's take out all the money to buy goods." ”
Liu Dahe was taken aback when he saw that there was gold, silver and a lot of money in the box, but he didn't expect that not long after coming to Pengzhou City, the Niu family had saved so much money.
Liu Dahe was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It's time to make dinner, Chrysanthemum, you go to the stove to help first, wait for dinner, take out these silver coins and discuss them with the Hua family." ”
Niu's: "If the Hua family has no money and uses all of our family, then we will suffer too much." ”
Liu Dahe: "Chrysanthemum, don't forget, when I was in Liujia Village before, how the Hua family helped our family every time, and the loan shark that your brother borrowed at that time was also repaid by the Hua family." ”
Niu pouted, "It was before, and now it is now." ”
Liu Dahe raised his voice, "No matter what, we can't do anything without conscience, this matter must be as I say." ”
After dinner, Liu Dahe asked Mr. Hua: "Old Hua, I heard that many shops in the city are about to be emptied, should we also buy some things and come back." ”
Old Man Hua: "It's time to buy some things back, but we don't have any money now." ”
Niu stretched his face and took out the money box from the house and put it on the dining table.
Liu Dahe: "We will use this money together." ”
Granny Hua: "That's embarrassing. ”
Old Man Hua didn't have a mother-in-law, so he answered directly: "Just do what Dahe said, and then supply Dahe's family when you have the silver in the future." ”
……
Master Wang came up with an idea for the prefect and asked the wooden kitchen to make a lot of steamed buns and throw them out from the city wall.
As a result, they found that the people who grabbed the steamed buns were all strong men, and the old and weak women and children still had nothing to eat.
The prefect can't, and plans to recruit dozens of people to go to the outside of the city to give porridge, speaking of which is more economical to give porridge, just boil a large pot of water and put two handfuls of rice in it.
Now the price of grain is very high, and I don't know how long the more than 20,000 taels of silver can last.
The boss hasn't spoken yet, and I don't know if there will be relief food allocated to Pengzhou in the future.
The prefect's goal now is very clear, it is impossible to eat enough, just hang and starve to death.
It was a bit difficult to recruit people, and there were very few people willing to go outside the city.
Governor Mu explained this matter to Lu Zhutou: "Lu Zhutou, you are ready to prepare, tomorrow you will take your men out of the city to help with the soup kitchen, and the security problems in the city will be handed over to General Lu for the time being." ”
After Lu Zhutou agreed, the prefect said:
"I remember that all the catchers you have there seem to be only about ten people together, there are some vicious people mixed outside the city gate, ten people out of the city is too weak, you have to find a way to recruit another ten people."
I heard that I took over the task of going out of the city, and the catchers were gearing up, planning to do a big job tomorrow.
After finishing work in the afternoon, after the other catchers left, Hua Xier invited Lu Zhutou to eat at home with the attitude of trying it out, but she didn't expect Lu Zhutou to agree at once, and Hua Xier was very happy in her heart.
The three of them met Li Sihu and Zhang Guozi on the road, and the two heard that Lu Touer was going to Xiao Qi's house for dinner, so they all went to Xiao Qi's house together.
At the dinner table, there was naturally a talk about going out of the city tomorrow.
When the old man heard that he was going to give porridge outside the city, he decided to help: "This is to do good deeds, I will do some work, count me in." ”
Liu Dahe also wanted to go, but was stopped by Master Hua: "Dahe, it's too dangerous outside the city, it's not appropriate for you to practice martial arts, and if you go, no one will bring you to your home." ”
After eating, Hua Xi'er pulled Xiao Qi to send Lu Zhutou out of the two streets, but she was still reluctant to go back.
Seeing that Lu Zhu's head was tightly frowned, Hua Xi'er said: "Lord Lu, are you worried about the lack of manpower, we saw a lot of people in the rivers and lakes on the side of the overpass a few nights ago, Lord Lu can go and ask them if they are willing to do fast fishing." ”
Zhang Guozi: "Our boss is worried about where to find some people who know martial arts, Miss Xi'er, you are so smart." ”
Li Sihu: "Boss, let's go to the overpass to find someone quickly." ”
Lu Zhutou and Xiao Qi and a few people soon arrived at the overpass, and they saw a lot of rangers holding swords on the overpass.
Li Sihu: "I often come to this side of the flyover, and I didn't notice that there are so many rangers here. ”
Hua Xi'er: "It's normal, people usually only look at what they want to see, and most of the others will be ignored. ”
……
The crowd went their separate ways.
Lu Zhutou stood coldly in the middle of the road.
Li Sihu and a few people ran around, and when they saw people, they asked: "Do you want to be a fast arrester to eliminate violence and peace?" ”
Hua Xi'er felt that the effect of asking such a question was too low, so she gave the stall owner next to her two pennies, borrowed a table from him, and placed it in the middle of the overpass.
Xiao Qi also borrowed a gong from the side and struck it loudly.
Li Sihu shouted at the top of his voice: "Everyone, come and take a look, take a look-"
Zhang Guozi grabbed Li Sihu's sleeve, "Brother Sihu, you asked everyone to come over and see something." ”
Li Sihu brushed away Zhang Guozi: "Stupid." ”
Zhang Guozi: "You let everyone come to see the stupidity?" ”
Li Sihu ignored Zhang Guozi, a fool, and continued to beat gongs and drums, which soon attracted many people over.
Hua Xi'er saw that there were many people around, so she pulled Lu Zhutou to stand on the table together, and said loudly: "The country is in trouble, and the husband is responsible, I believe that everyone is a chivalrous and hot-blooded young man. ”
The second child of the Wang family, who had just finished performing the big stone break on his chest, heard that he was catching quickly, wiped off the blood stains on the corner of his mouth, and said to the old road of the Wang family: "I break the big stone like this every day, I'm afraid I won't be able to last a few days, big brother, let's do some martial arts, it's better to catch fast." ”
The boss of the Wang family looked at the basket and couldn't help sighing, there were five big coins lying there, which were the rewards he received tonight.
The second eldest of the Wang family pulled up the eldest of the Wang family, "Let's go, big brother, let's go over and have a look." ”
The second child of the Wang family pulled the eldest brother to squeeze to the table, and looked up at Hua Xi'er: "Girl, do you want to eat and live in a fast bag?" ”
Hua Xi'er couldn't be the master of this matter, so she looked at Lu Zhutou.
Lu Zhutou coughed lightly twice, and then said, "You can eat and live." ”
The surroundings suddenly boiled,
"I want to sign up."
"I'm going to sign up too."
……
Now that the price of food has risen to sky-high, few of the people who came to see the jugglers were willing to take out the money to give rewards, and the artists on the overpass were almost unable to open the pot.
Being able to eat and live is a pie-in-the-sky thing for these people.
Lu Zhutou saw that there were many people who wanted to sign up, so he took a piece of broken silver and handed it to Li Sihu and said, "Go to the shop next to you to buy paper and pencils, and I'll register." ”
After Li Sihu bought paper and pencils, Hua Xi'er took Lu Zhutou's hand and jumped off the table, and went to the side to borrow a stool for Lu Zhutou to sit down.
After Lu Zhutou sat down, he picked up the pen and registered the applicants.
Hua Xi'er stood beside Lu Zhutou and looked at her left hand stealing fun, it was this left hand that led Lu Zhutou's right hand just now.
Xiao Qi saw that there were at least thirty or forty people lined up at the table, so he asked, "Lu Zhutou, so many people have signed up, will the prefect want so many people?" ”
Lu Feng thought for a while and said, "If it weren't for so much, we are urgently recruiting people who will go out of the city tomorrow, so it is best to know some martial arts." ”
Hua Xi'er offered advice: "It's better to let the people who sign up perform martial arts and select the best." ”
The people who signed up showed their powers, and even Xiao Qi and Hua Xi'er were dazzled.
Lu Zhutou quickly selected more than a dozen of them who knew martial arts, and took them directly to the yamen to settle them, and they could be taken outside the city early tomorrow morning to help.
