Su Qingyu was noncommittal, slowly returned the polished sword to the scabbard, and said, "It's time for them to arrive, let's go out." ”

Master Lin was confused by Su Qingyu's words, and followed Su Qingyu out of the mansion with anxiety, and happened to see a large group of victims rushing to the mansion with great momentum.

"Big ...... My lord, this ......"

Master Lin was stunned.

And the guards brought by Su Qingyu stepped forward to stop those victims.

When those victims saw the guards holding steel knives in their hands, they subconsciously shrank back, but the few people led by them quickly plucked up their courage, puffed up their chests and said, "Why doesn't the imperial court send disaster relief food!" ”

"We want relief food!"

"Are you corrupt officials who have swallowed all the relief food!"

Master Lin was in a cold sweat, and his trembling hands had already exposed his nervousness.

On the other hand, Su Qingyu kept looking at the street not far away in the condemnation of the victims, and Master Lin was about to ask Su Qingyu what he was looking at, when he saw a long motorcade coming from the street.

Because the road ahead was opened by several tall horses, riding a few mighty soldiers in armor, those victims were originally ordinary people, facing the army of the imperial court, they involuntarily gave way.

Su Qingyu's expression was relieved when he saw the comer.

"Xuanwu Wei Liu Feng, see General Su! All the 100,000 stone relief grain has been delivered, and General Su is invited to inspect it! ”

The leader dismounted and walked in front of Su Qingyu and said in a loud voice.

"One hundred thousand stones!"

"Oh my God! So much! That's enough for us to eat for a long time! ”

"Is it really all food?"

Some of the victims were excited, and some were suspicious.

But the victims at the head did not have much joy on their faces, staring at the wheelbarrows full of sacks, but became nervous.

Su Qingyu took in everything, and immediately stepped forward to cut a hole in the sack with a dagger, and immediately a lot of white rice came out of it.

"Look! It's really rice! ”

"It's all rice! We don't have to starve! ”

The victims led by the disaster shook each other's eyes, and while everyone's attention was on Su Qingyu and the bag of rice that was cut, they suddenly rushed to the sack on the wheelbarrow behind, and cut one of them with a determined face.

"Tear up!"

A cut was made, but not as they had imagined.

The rice that was still white was poured on the ground, and the victims were distressed.

"What are you doing!"

"This is our life-saving food!"

Without saying a word, the angry victims went up to surround those people, ignoring the "affection" of the previous demonstration to the government.

But those few people were agile at the moment, and they didn't look like they had been hungry for a long time, and a few of them ran away without a trace.

Su Qingyu watched coldly, and didn't have the slightest intention of going up to catch those people, but he glanced at Liu Feng, and Liu Feng quietly retreated.

And Su Qingyu said in a loud voice: "Check and put it into storage!" ”

In this way, a long motorcade slowly poured into the palace.

Seeing that so much grain had arrived, Master Lin finally let go of his hanging heart, and said to Su Qingyu: "My lord, can you send grain now?" ”

Su Qingyu waved his hand and ordered a guard behind him to post the notice that had been prepared a long time ago, and then said loudly: "Old and young women and children, stand in front and line up!" ”

"As for the young and middle-aged, those who still have the strength to spare, after receiving a bowl of porridge, need to go to build the embankment first and receive food according to their work! The more you do, the more food you will receive! ”

The victims present did not have any dissatisfaction with this arrangement, especially the old and young women and children whose families had all died in the flood, and looked at Su Qingyu with very grateful eyes, and their eyes were full of tears.

When they were serving porridge before, they were frail and frail, and they were old, and when they encountered some fierce and vicious, they couldn't avoid it, so where did they dare to compete for a seat with those men?

When they got to the porridge shed, there was some thin rice porridge left to barely cushion their stomachs.

Now that Su Qingyu is in charge, let them receive food first, and they are naturally extremely grateful.

And those men were expecting to have a bite to eat. As for that little gruel, whether you can eat half full or not, you have to say.

And now, some of the victims who are literate read out the notice posted by Su Qingyu.

"For every 40 bags of river sand, you can change a bowl of rice!"

"Really?! A bowl of rice will definitely be full! ”

"Zhuang man, if there is nothing else, we will have strength! Last year, we can carry a lot of green bricks to build houses! ”

"What are you waiting for, hurry up and finish the porridge and go, when you can save it, it will be carried by others!"

Such a crisis was invisibly resolved by Su Qingyu.

And Master Lin was about to enter the treasury to count the grain in the warehouse, but was called by Su Qingyu to a study in the mansion.

"What's the matter, my lord? At the moment, it is important to count the relief food. ”

Master Lin has been an official for many years, how can he not understand the inertia of exploitation by those officials? This time, if you want to say that no one is corrupt, he doesn't believe it.

At present, it is necessary to quickly clear the deficit, and if there is too much difference, it is better to think of countermeasures.

Su Qingyu saw that Master Lin was in a hurry like this, and coupled with his observations in the past few days, he felt that Master Lin should be credible, so he told the truth: "The grain there is less than 10,000 stones. ”

"How so! How bold are they?! Swallowed 90,000 stone directly! Master Lin said in disbelief.

Then he quickly realized that something was wrong, less than 10,000 stones......

Isn't that the number left in the original library?!

Master Lin still doesn't understand, the imperial court ...... No relief food was delivered!

Master Lin suddenly turned pale and said, "Master Su, you have deceived you so hard!" What are we going to do now? ”

Su Qingyu was not in a hurry, and asked, "How much silver is left in the government account now?" ”

Master Lin's eyes were blank and said: "It's just 100,000 taels of silver, and now the price of grain outside is so high, even if you go to the grain merchant to buy grain, it's a drop in the bucket!" ”

"Wait, the price of grain will come down, and then people will scatter and go to different grain merchants to buy it. And you have to slow down, don't buy too much at once. ”

Su Qingyu explained a few more words, and Master Lin had no idea now, so he had to do what Su Qingyu said.

At the same time, the same scene was playing out in many grain stores.

"Owner! Landlord! Oh no! ”

The big shopkeeper of a grain store panted and ran to the owner.

"What's the hurry? Could it be that the flood has flooded?! ”

A grain merchant who was lying on the couch and listening to the little song scolded the big shopkeeper.

The big shopkeeper wiped the sweat off his face again and again, and said, "The owner, the relief food from the imperial court has arrived!" I heard that there are 100,000 stones! ”

"What?!"

The grain merchant got up in a hurry, didn't even care about the concubine in his arms, pushed the person away, put on his shoes without saying a word, and ran to Rongfu.
