Chapter 412: Great Good Man
Ignoring the speechlessness of these two, Fang Ruohua smiled and said: "At present, the manpower is limited, Hu Su wants to mobilize grain and grass, or please ask Lord Zhan and Bai Daxia to accompany me and borrow some food for emergency relief." ”
Although Zhanzhao didn't believe that the big families in Chenzhou could really take out these grains, you must know that food is precious nowadays, and it is difficult to buy it with money. But now that the situation is urgent, An Lehou is still in the hands of the victims, and he can only go with Fang Ruohua when he is sick and rushed to the hospital.
The Qian family in Chenzhou, the grandfather of the current head of the family once served as a feudal official, although there is no successor, but the Qian family is still quite famous among the local gentry, and the children of the family are very talented in business.
Zhan Zhao thought that they were all old foxes in the mall, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to deal with, but Fang Ruohua went in and talked for less than half an hour, and the old man Qian was full of smiles and joy, and he gave three thousand stones of grain and five hundred taels of gold without the slightest reluctance.
Bai Yutang: "......"
Zhanzhao: "......"
Could it be that the gentry of Chenzhou are really so righteous?
Bai Yutang even felt that he might not have as much sense of justice as he imagined, otherwise why did he think that he was rich, and he would hesitate for a moment to rashly take out such a large sum of silver.
No matter how surprised I was in my heart, these two people were still very upright on their faces.
Zhanzhao was asked by Fang Ruohua to change into an official mansion at this time, with a heroic and upright posture, and Bai Yutang also looked like a guard, showing the temperament of a master.
Seeing the two of them, the head of the Qian family had a lower posture and a better attitude: "Don't worry, as a native of Chenzhou, where can I see my father and fellow villagers starving, and Qian has no other ability, and I can still borrow some money and grain." ”
Fang Ruohua said with a smile: "Master Qian is noble. ”
Until she came out of Qian's house and got into the carriage, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang still looked at her vigorously.
Bai Yutang was even more puzzled: "The county lord intimidated him?" ”
Fang Ruohua smiled: "How come, I have always obeyed the law." She doesn't sell Guanzi either, Wan Er said, "In fact, it's worthless to say that it's worthless, it's just four words to do what she likes." ”
"Mr. Qian is over sixty years old, and he has only one beloved son under his knees, who was born to his wife, and has a lot of talent in reading, Mr. Qian has high hopes for him, and has always hoped to invite a famous teacher to help his son become a talent, if he can be like his grandfather, it would be better, but he is now a businessman, not to mention a scholar, even a promising talent is not easy to recruit."
"It just so happened that I was familiar with Lu Huaiying, a famous man in Jiangnan, so I gave his name card to Mr. Qian, and wrote a letter of recommendation, recommending his beloved son to join Lu Huaiying's door, now don't say it's 3,000 stone grain, it is to ask him to have most of the wealth of the Qian family, he hesitates to hesitate, and he is willing to give it if he can't."
Bai Yutang was dumbfounded, and only nodded in admiration for a while!
It's not to give, what's the use of having a lot of money, it's not all for the sake of children and grandchildren, for the sake of his son's future, I don't know how many people are willing to abandon their family and business.
Zhan Zhao sighed, what the county lord said was simple, but in such a short period of time, he thought of Master Qian's weakness, and was able to make friends with Lu Huaiying, and pinched the other party by seven inches with one move, and it was not ordinary people who could do it.
"The front is the Qi family." Fang Ruohua grabbed the bamboo tube from the carriage, pulled out the stopper, drank saliva to moisten his throat, and sighed.
Zhan Zhao went through the information of the Qi family in his mind, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid the head of the Qi family has no weaknesses to catch, I heard that he is alone, his wife died early, and he has never accepted a concubine, his son has not returned from a study trip, and he is the only one in the door, and he is not clean." ”
Fang Ruohua smiled: "I'm just going to ask for saliva to drink." ”
The county lord was politely welcomed into the living room to drink tea, the tea was brewed with tea foam, and it was brewed many times, there was no taste at all, and this old man Qi still drank deliciously.
Zhanzhao honestly acted as his own guard, and listened to the old man Qi tell him how poor he was, how sad his life was, and he couldn't even eat.
The county lord really didn't mention the matter of borrowing grain, and he should say a few words after listening to his complaints, and he looked like he was right, otherwise he would gossip: "Master Qi, don't be sad, the blessings are behind, I heard that Gongzi Qi also bought a house in Songjiang Mansion some time ago, presumably he bought an industry, waiting to take you to enjoy happiness when you are old." ”
Master Qi wiped his sweat, and slowly showed a kind smile on his face, he couldn't see the sad face just now, and he nagged a few more words, and actually asked the housekeeper to take out the key to the grain depot and stuff it over, although his face was painful, but there were a lot of good words on his mouth.
Out of the gate of the Qi family, Zhan Zhao said: "What is the relationship between Master Qi's son and Songjiang Mansion?" ”
"The beloved daughter of General Liu of Songjiang Prefecture accidentally fell into the river and died three years ago, on the way to elope. General Liu was furious and vowed to find the bastard who had abducted his beloved daughter to elope, but he couldn't find it after three years of searching. ”
Zhanzhao: "...... I know it under it. ”
Next, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang watched the lord of Changping enter and leave the big family in Chenzhou, lured him to benefit, moved him with affection, and knew it with reason, and got 7,000 stones of grain and grass in three times and five divided by two.
However, this is not enough.
But the remaining big families are the stones in the thatched pits, which are smelly and hard, and I am afraid they are not so easy to deal with.
Zhan Zhaodu was worried about the county lord, and sighed: "In fact, these grains can be regarded as being able to support the past, and the imperial court will definitely try their best to raise grain and grass when they know about Chenzhou, and you don't have to worry too much about the county lord." ”
Fang Ruohua stretched his waist and said with a smile: "Don't worry, go back to rest and eat first, it is estimated that it will not take a few days, and other families must have figured it out, I said, there are many loyal and righteous people in Chenzhou." ”
Zhan Zhao couldn't cry or laugh, but fortunately, although things were still urgent, after some combing by the county lord, he was able to stabilize himself, restrained his anxiety, and sure enough, he returned to his temporary residence and ate a delicious meal with all the color and flavor.
After eating, Bai Yutang walked through the window as usual and drilled into his house to make a sword competition, and if he refused to compete, he would fight for wine, in fact, it was just chatting for a while and gossiping for a while.
For two days in a row, Fang Ruohua helped the victims in an orderly manner, and her affairs in Chenzhou were well known to everyone, and all the officials in Chenzhou came to visit, but Fang Ruohua never saw anyone.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at the dwindling food and were worried, this day the two discussed the current situation in Chenzhou, and then heard the movement outside, Fang Yan hurriedly came over and ordered a few people: "Let's go, the Qiu family and the Zhao family have sent food over, you take the weighing rod, be sure to point it, and ask the two heads of the family to sign and draw it." ”
Bai Yutang pushed the window and puffed up his face: "The Zhao family is just that, and the old man of the Qiu family who picks the door also sends food?" How many were sent? ”
"A thousand stones."
Fang Yan smiled, "Master Qiu is not too picky. "After that, I went to work.
