Liao Yong lowered his voice and asked He Xuan, "Why do you want to exchange wheat bran for grain?" ”

He Xuan looked at the emperor and thought, anyway, this matter is estimated to be broken, and it is not bad for herself to say a few more words, she looked at the Liao brothers, but did not lower her voice, and said: "One liter of grain can be exchanged for twenty liters of wheat bran." If you calculate this ratio, how much grain can they withhold? It's still a disaster year, and they sell the grain they have withheld to those unscrupulous merchants, not to mention the silver issued by the imperial court, which is another big sum! ”

Listening to He Xuan's words, Yu Song smiled and said, "This little brother's account is good. ”

"No one dares to report such a thing?" The emperor asked in a low voice.

"Yes. No one is stopping you from reporting it! Even if it's you, what if you tell the friend you directly? Who are you going to check? The whole officialdom is like this! If it is said that all the officials are lined up in a row and slaughtered, then there may be a person who is wronged. But if it is said that one by one, there must be a lot of people who have slipped through the net! ”

Yu Song said as he took off the cigarette pouch from his waist and lit a bag of cigarettes for himself.

Looking at the rising smoke screen, Yu Song looked at the emperor who was sitting next to him, his face full of anger, and then smiled.

It took a long time for the emperor to suppress the anger that rushed into his heart, and said: "Why are these people so bold! Aren't they afraid that the emperor will punish them? ”

"Your Majesty?" When Yu Song heard this, he laughed, and then shouted loudly at the top of his voice, "Your Majesty, he can't hear it!" Unseen! ”

After shouting, Yu Song seemed to feel that the sulkness in his heart was vented a little, and then he calmed down and said, "Do you think that even if there is ginseng, can the emperor see such an excerpt?" I've been here for eight years. I participated, but this fold was deducted before I left the province. That man was my fellow countryman, and he taught me a lesson in the friendship of my fellow villagers, so for eight years, I didn't rise or descend here. Everyone says that ten years of Qing Governor's Mansion is 100,000 snowflakes of silver! But what about me...... Up to now, I still owe about twenty or thirty taels of silver and I don't know how to pay it back! ”

Yu Song said, paused, then looked at the emperor and said, "Since you are here, you must know about my overstepping of the level and the accusation." I thought, that's how I'm sitting at the head of the office. Hum...... But think about it, it's really not interesting to be an official like this, it's better to be a common man! ”

Saying that, Yu Song stood up, bowed his hand to the emperor, and said, "I still have to help with the work over there, so I won't accompany a few." ”

"Lord Yu, please stay."

Seeing that Yu Song was leaving, Liao Yong said with a smile.

"Any other advice?"

"Oh, give me advice or something, don't dare. It's just, you're done, I'm ...... Father...... I haven't spoken yet! Can I delay you a little longer? ”

When the emperor heard Liao Yong's words, he suddenly came over, he didn't come here today to be angry! At the moment, I am afraid that if we delay any longer, this year's harvest will be damaged again.

"Oh? What else does the master have to say? ”

Looking at Yu Song's appearance, the emperor didn't know what Liao Yong wanted to say, he looked at Liao Yong a little blankly.

"I wonder how many seeds are missing in your county now?"

At this time, I only heard Liao Geng ask.

"It's a hundred or ten loads left." Yu Song said.

Liao Geng looked at Liao Yong knowingly, Liao Yong smiled and said, "Father, my son wants to be the master and send some seeds and food here, I don't know if it's okay." ”

"What?" Hearing Liao Yong's words, the emperor and Yu Song asked in unison.

I saw Liao Yong arching his hand at Yu Song and said: "Isn't there a saying that says, help the urgent not help the poor." Now in this county, it is the time of urgency, if we are not busy at this time, we are afraid that we will be poor, and we will be beyond our power no matter how hard we try. So ......"

"This ...... Not good! Yu Song said, "I don't know anything about my life, how can I ......?"

"Hey...... Yu adults...... Don't get me wrong. At this time, I was afraid that Liao Geng smiled and said, "You can also see that we are businessmen, and since we are businessmen, we naturally will not trade at a loss." Our brothers have lent you these seeds and grain, and in the first autumn we will have to make a profit. ”

Although the ...... listened to the words of the two "young owners", the "old owners" in front of him have not made a sound, and they don't know how much food they can lend themselves, and Yu Song doesn't know if he can be excited now.

"Good. How much do you want to borrow from him? The emperor asked.

The two brothers looked at each other and said, "Since the adults said that there is only a shortage of one hundred and ten quintals, then we will be richer and lend you five hundred quintals." How about you return to us six hundred quintals in the fall? ”

"This is simply ......" Yu Song finally felt that he could be excited at this time, and he said loudly to the farmers who were still busy in the field, "Hey...... Brothers...... These great benevolent people are going to lend us seeds and grain......"

As soon as these words came out, those villagers really couldn't believe their ears! They ran over and surrounded these four people in the middle, how much gratitude, how many tears, even the emperor, who is used to seeing big scenes, couldn't stop it, snot and tears held hands with them, crying and laughing for a long time.

After everyone dispersed, Liao Yong felt that his brain was hot just now, but he didn't think too much, right now, where did this food come from? If the emperor's whereabouts are exposed, he is afraid of his own good intentions, and he will do bad things.

After returning to the inn, Liao Yong told Liao Geng about his worries, and Liao Geng also frowned, yes, what should I do about this? After thinking about it, they came to He Xuan to discuss their ideas.

"Yo, the two bodhisattvas are here?"

"Don't be sarcastic about us. Help us think about how to do this. Liao Geng said.

"yes. You've been silent since we spoke, what do you think, don't you want to help them? Liao Yong asked.

"It's not that I don't want to help, this is just the beginning! I know that your family has a great cause, but if you go any further, I am afraid that there will be more urgent than this, what will you do? He Xuan asked rhetorically.

"But you can't just ignore it!" Liao Geng said.

"When did your heart become so hard?" Liao Yong also said.

"It's not that I'm hard-hearted, you think for yourself, a while ago, they cried and shouted that they had no seeds to plant, but in the blink of an eye, they were silent, isn't it strange? If someone really cares about this matter, and investigates it carefully, it is still a trivial matter to reveal his whereabouts, and if the person with ulterior motives goes to the next fold, this is not a matter of taking off his official clothes and leaving. ”

When He Xuan said this, the brothers were even more dumbfounded, they were just angry at that time, but they didn't expect this at all.

"But the words have already been spoken, and the emperor is also thinking with you, no matter what I say, I'm afraid it's useless. In this way, as for the grain, you quietly, let the Zhuangzi near you pass over here, don't send it all at once, first send the 100 quintals of seeds, and the rest will be sent every month or so. Then, let's talk to that lord about the rest......"

"Is that okay?" Liao Geng asked.

"If it works, it has to be done, and if it doesn't work, it has to be done. After a while, let's go to the emperor, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay here any longer. Do you calculate the time, how long will it take to get the letter out today, and wait until the first batch of food arrives here? ”

Liao Yong calculated carefully and said, "Even if there is no delay on this way, it will take about ten days and half a month." ”

"That's good," He Xuan nodded and said, "Let's leave here quietly tomorrow, and in ten days, we will already be in another place." You've got to remember, don't get your head up on things like this. Since he came out, he has to make the emperor feel pain, don't let him only hurt a little, you will treat him, then you can't cure it, and he can't see it clearly! ”

The two brothers nodded. After the discussion, He Xuan, Liao Yong, and Liao Geng acted separately, and the two brothers wrote a letter to ask the emperor to move the driver, and He Xuan ran away in person, and analyzed the relationship with the adult, but fortunately, the adult has also been mixed with the officialdom for a long time, understands the relationship, and also responded to He Xuan.

Zuo Junzhong heard about today's incident, and also tried his best to persuade the emperor to leave as soon as possible. In fact, when the emperor arrived at this time, he also felt that his decision at that time was a little hasty. However, the aura at that time seemed to be too strong, and it was inevitable that he would not be able to control himself.

Liao Yong specifically instructed in the letter that Zhuangzi should issue an IOU in the name of his own owner, and he should not have anything to do with the Liao family.

After everything was arranged, everyone began to pack up their things, take care of everything, and the next day, before dawn, they quietly left here and continued to the north.

"This is just a drop in the bucket, which makes me so angry, I don't know how many things are waiting for me ahead!" The emperor said to Zuo Junzhong and Fu Hai.

"Your Majesty...... Don't think about it so much...... Perhaps, or maybe it's just that the county order here is not humane, so that other officials have excluded him, so let's take a look. Tomami comforted.

"I hope so......"

Zuo Junzhong didn't speak, he felt very relieved in his heart for Yu Song, his protégé loved the people like a son so much, and it was also the brilliance on his face. However, on the next road, I am afraid that there will be more embarrassing things for the emperor than this, and now, I really don't know if I should persuade the emperor to stay in the palace and not let him
