Chapter 1114: A sense of accomplishment
Liu Yuanwai's heart is resistant, at this juncture, which one to recommend is to harm which family, and those people still don't hate him to death after this incident? However, in line with the principle of "dead friends do not die poor people", Liu Yuanwai still said two families in a trembling voice.
Xiao Xiao nodded and said with a smile: "Liu Yuanwai is really an understanding person. Then according to the requirements of Liu Yuanwai, this is the number. He gestured a finger.
Liu Yuanwai had the heart to cry on the spot. He came out with one hand, and in the end he was frightened and retreated, only daring to stretch out one finger, the prince Chitose was actually embarrassed to say with a shy face that it was "according to his request", why is this prince still so cheeky!
But Liu Yuanwai didn't dare to say this, and the initial domineering spirit had already been shattered by fright. It's really soldiers and horses in front of their homes. He also found out that the person who is the prince is really not a good person, and if he is willing to give silver, he will give him face, and it is better to accept it when he sees it.
As soon as Liu Yuan gave an order, the house became busy, and he ordered people to guard the place here, and asked people to immediately go to the two merchant houses with grain stocks that Liu Yuan said to inquire about the truth, turned around and came to the carriage, and Bingtang and Jiyun immediately got out of the car.
Flipping the curtain onto the carriage, he sat down next to Qin Yining, "Why did you come in such time?" Otherwise, they will all be regarded as robbers. ”
Qin Yining burst out laughing out loud at him, "Didn't you plan to pay on credit first?" Anyway, it arrived in these two days. He leaned close to him, looked at his sitting position, and whispered, "On horseback?" Does the wound hurt? ”
"Why is it so delicate?" As soon as the long arm stretched out over Qin Yining's shoulder, the hand that was holding on to her shoulder fell on her shoulder, touching her delicate bones, and her brows couldn't help frowning.
During this period of time, he didn't eat or sleep well, and he lived a life of exhaustion, Qin Yining lost a lot of weight. They are in the disaster area, and the people are facing the threat of death every day, and they do not have enough food, let alone recuperation. She had just raised some meat on her face, and she had lost weight again when she walked to Jingang.
Qin Yining leaned on his shoulder, his eyes shining like bright stars in the night sky.
"Thanks to you for thinking of such a good method, we can't wait for the Holy Minister's almsgiving. We can't watch the people starve to death, maybe we can still use this method along the way," suddenly thought of something, sat up straight and instructed the owl, "We need to be low-key, and don't irritate these merchants too hard, so as not to make people suspicious of the origin of our silver." ”
The treasure was originally a thorn in Li Qitian's heart, and he didn't find it with so much effort, if he was suspicious of the wolf, I am afraid that he would be even more vulnerable to the enemy in the future.
I love to see her cute appearance when she worries about herself, and it feels like being gently patted with her hairy little paws by some kind of soft and fluffy little animal.
"Okay, it's up to you. I'll try to be careful. ”
Qin Yining heard his voice full of pleasure, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look, and it was crashing into his gentle eyes.
Although he didn't do anything, he just looked at her with loving eyes, but Qin Yining still heard his heart thump disobediently. It seemed that every time she looked at her with such soft eyes, she almost forgot who her name was and what she was going to do.
Xiao Xiao fell in love with her misty eyes, and couldn't help but kiss her eyes.
Just then, footsteps were heard outside the carriage.
"Lord Wang, the grain has been ordered, enough for the people inside and outside the city to eat gruel for three days!"
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao happily pinched Qin Yining's face, "That old fox must still have food in stock, I'll go and find out again." "It's like a child jumping out of a carriage, as if the wound doesn't hurt at all.
Qin Yining waited quietly wrapped around his cloud shoulders, and after a short time, he negotiated with Liu Yuanwai, and when they returned to the city, they were followed by six carriages and dozens of porters who carried the burden.
It's also a devastated autumn day, and it's enough to make people feel happy when they go back with food.
Qin Yining never got out of the car, but when he lifted the curtains and looked at the people in the porridge shed outside the city looking at Xiao Xiao with expectant eyes, a strong satisfaction rose in his heart. The treasure is used here, and it is worth it.
Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining first sent some of the grain to the porridge shed outside the city, arranged for someone to boil the porridge, and quickly returned to the city to make arrangements.
They moved very fast, and before they had time to inform Chen Zhixian after returning to the city, they took the first step to send the grain to the two porridge sheds in the city, thinking that if the hungry people could eat the food a moment earlier, a few fewer people would die.
Chen Zhixian heard that Xiao Xiao really returned to the porridge shed with food, so he rushed over. Seeing the smoke rising from the stove, the thick mixed rice porridge boiling in the cauldron, and the people had lined up in front of the porridge shed with clay pots and sea bowls, Chen Zhixian was so excited that he almost rolled out of men's tears.
"Lord Wang, thanks to you! On behalf of the people of the city, thank you! Three steps and two steps forward, Chen Zhixian knelt firmly in front of the owl, and kowtowed for a long time.
The people who were closer listened to Chen Zhixian's words, and they knelt down and kowtowed together excitedly, and the crowd was talking about it, thanks to the food that the prince had brought in, so that everyone could survive these few days. The people also knelt down with Chen Zhixian, and the voice of thanking the owl almost resounded in the sky.
Xiao Xiao hurriedly helped Chen Zhixian up, "What is Lord Chen doing, this is all within the king's responsibility." This king is incompetent, and he has suffered so much hunger for nothing, and this king is really ashamed. ”
"Don't say that, the saint doesn't give grain and grass, and the prince is not a god, can he conjure food for nothing? This time, if the prince hadn't paid for food out of his own pocket, where would the big guy survive! ”
Chen Zhixian was straightforward and fast-talking, and he said whatever he thought of when he was excited.
As soon as he said that, he realized what he had said, and immediately felt that something was wrong, after all, such a thing as the saint not giving food was really too easy to cause discussions. But after thinking about it, the Holy Lord, as the Son of Heaven, is not as good as the prince, since he dares to do it, is he still afraid of others talking behind his back?
On the contrary, he is loyal to the prince, kind and kind, and low-key. He asked just now, these grains were bought by the prince, and he said it ruthlessly, but in the end, he went to Liu Yuanwai's house to scare him, and in the end he also gave money.
The prince is willing to live for the people, and when the saint does not send food, he uses his personal money to buy food for everyone to eat, such a noble sentiment, the prince himself does not preach it, but he can't let this matter go down like this.
Sure enough, as soon as Chen Zhixian said this, the people immediately began to discuss, and the news seemed to be pushed away by the tide, and soon the crowd was full of praise from the people.
Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining glanced at each other, but they were quite helpless.
They have been keeping a low profile, in order not to let people think about it much, this place is better at the moment, and it is not eye-catching that the prince has some silver taels in his hand, but they plan to go all the way to the south to give alms, which is a huge amount, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no one who thinks about it too much, in case he goes to Li Qitian and says more, he will not be able to explain it clearly.
It is because of Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining, including Xu Weizhi, Xie Yue and other strategists, who have always been hesitant to use what method to publicize, which can not only win the hearts of the people, but also prevent Li Qitian from being suspicious.
But who would have thought that the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and they hadn't come up with a solution yet, but Chen Zhixian took the first step to help them make a decision.
Seeing that Xiao Xiao's face was a little embarrassed, Chen Zhixian was only a prince with such a temperament, and he was unwilling to show off for this kind of thing, and he had a good impression of this young prince in his heart. I feel more and more that the prince has done such a good thing and is still obscure, and it is too much of a loss.
Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining saw that the porridge shed was under the arrangement of Chen Zhixian, and the people were in order, and the young and strong ones did not crowd in front because of their strength, but first humbled the elderly, children and women, although everyone was hungry, they did not lose their demeanor and bottom line.
Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao were very happy in their hearts, and they couldn't help but feel that the Jingang under the rule of Chen Zhixian was indeed different from the place they saw when they came, I don't know because of the coastal area here, the disaster is relatively light, and more importantly, the people here are simple, and everyone still retains kindness.
It is difficult for a county magistrate to maintain the stability of a place, but what is even more valuable is that he has always kept the people simple, and has not produced any bad atmosphere, even under the shadow of death, this is the ability of Chen Zhixian.
Xiao Xiao and Qin Yining returned to the yamen for a temporary rest.
When Xie Yue, Xu Weizhi and other advisers heard the news, they walked around with their guards to check the situation in the city.
The people all knew that these grains were bought for them by Prince Zhongshun with his own money, and now they have eaten hot porridge, which is really more expensive than any delicacy, and when they think of the prince, they are even more praised, and even those heroic deeds on the battlefield with the former are also mentioned. This made the advisers who came out to investigate the situation feel honored one by one, and their hearts were proud and moved.
At the beginning, those strategists who opposed the use of treasure to help the victims of the disaster, now looking at this situation, finally fully understood the truth of "the world of those who win the hearts of the people" advocated by Xie Yue and Xu Weizhi, and some people are thinking that fortunately, the prince did not adopt their suggestions at that time.
Qin Yining and Xiao Xiao returned to the room, and when Jiyun and rock sugar didn't have long enough, they sent a jar of boiled multigrain porridge.
Xiao Xiao picked up the bowl and took a spoonful, pursed his lips and said, "It's really not easy, I finally have a dry meal." ”
Qin Yining was amused by his aggrieved and complaining appearance, "You eat more." These days, you have to go around looking for grain and negotiate prices. ”
Xiao Xiao laughed, handed the bowl of porridge full of rice grains to Qin Yining, and then held the rest of the crockpot himself.
"Don't worry, with such a good start, in a few days, the situation in Jingang will be eased, and then we can leave for the next stop."
