Chapter 289: Impossible!

When the morning sun rises from the mountain peaks, the white clouds that float leisurely are dyed into brilliant gold.

Hundreds of people were building the river in the Governor's house, and Yun Xuan asked the people from the Ministry of Works and the five old men to be in charge of directing them.

If you want to build such a river quickly, these people are far from enough, mainly because there are no advanced agricultural tools in this era.

Modern farmers are a little more efficient in a day without the use of machines than the three of them.

It seems to be hundreds of people, but in fact it is less than a hundred.

Seeing that there were only so many people working hard, Yun Xuan frowned, out of tens of thousands of people, only a few hundred people were willing to come out to work.

This made Yun Xuan a little angry, and snorted coldly, it is not so easy to sit and wait for death.

After pondering for a while, Yun Xuan asked Libu to send some soldiers to guard this place, and tell him what he had in time.

Calculate the time, the household grain should also come, and the show is about to be staged.

"My lord, the food from the household has arrived."

When he learned that the grain of the household department was going to Yuanjiang today, the old face of the grass leaf showed a bright chrysanthemum smile.

In the past few days, Zheng Ku has been secretly trying to check the record of the household disaster relief funds and disaster relief food, which can almost scare the grass to death.

Although he has been looking for a reason to push it over, as long as the food does not come for a day, Cao Ye has no bottom in his heart.

In addition, Yun Xuan wanted to build a river and promised the people three meals of rice a day, which made Cao Ye worry.

"When will it arrive," Hyde smiled, as long as the food arrived, everything would be fine.

Hyde is also willing to support Yun Xuan in building the river and restoring this place to its former state as soon as possible, who will make him the number one here?

An early resolution of the refugee problem is also a great credit to Hyde.

"It will be an hour to arrive" Grass Leaf said with a smile, and then the conversation changed: "My lord, Lord Zheng has been looking for a small account book these days, what do you think?"

Hyde's eyes narrowed, and he muttered for a while and said, "Give him a fake one, just fool the past."

Now that the grain has arrived, the previous matter of selling grain without permission has turned the page.

Zheng Ku is also a household servant, and this bit of face still has to be given, otherwise it will not be good to secretly detain Yuanjiang's Yulu in the future.

"Adult, the little one understands" Grass Leaf nodded, this kind of thing is not less.

A fake ledger, a real ledger.

Only henchmen such as Hyde are qualified to see the real ledger, and as for the fake ledger, Grass Leaf has been fully prepared, and every expense is tightly matched, and there is absolutely no flaw to be found.

"Name"

"Big Wave"

"Origin"

……

Zheng Ku stretched out his hand to wipe the beads of sweat on his forehead, and carefully recorded the people who signed up to participate in the construction of the river.

The sun was blazing, the ground was steaming, and in order to fear Zheng Ku's heat stroke, Yun Xuan specially sent two people to fan him in turn.

"Lord Zheng"

"Grass Lord"

Zheng Ku, who was busy, didn't expect that Grass Leaf would come here at this time.

"Lord Zheng is fortunate, he is still recording information in such a hot weather," Kusaba said with a smile.

"The stakes are high, so hard is nothing"

If the refugee problem can be solved as soon as possible and the refugees will suffer less for a day, it is okay to let Zheng Ku work here all the time.

"Lord Zheng is noble, and the official admires it. Last time, I heard that Lord Zheng wanted to browse the account book, and he really didn't have time to be busy with government affairs these days.

No, Lord Hai, let me hand over the account book to Lord Zheng as soon as I have time," and after speaking, he made a gesture to the people behind him.

Looking at the account book in the guard's hand, Zheng Ku's eyes were deep, didn't he find all kinds of reasons not to give it before?

"Thank you, Lord Hai, troublesome Lord Cao" Zheng Ku gave the guard a look and asked him to take the account book.

"Then the official won't disturb Lord Zheng's work" Grass Leaf left, turned around, the corners of his mouth rose, and his eyes flashed.

looked at the ledger thoughtfully, but now Zheng Ku didn't have time to check it, but asked the guards to send it to the mansion, ready to read it at night.

The warm sun shines brightly.

Walking on the country road, Yun Xuan stopped and looked into the distance, where there was a large wasteland.

In fact, if the flood water were to be diverted to this place, the time required to build the river would be greatly reduced.

However, Yun Xuan can't do this, which involves a very complex social structure.

In this era, most of the farmland was in the hands of the rich and powerful, and the people were the ones who worked for them.

Seventy percent of the year's harvest has to be handed over to those rich people, and if Yun Xuan wants to move these wastelands, at least he can't do it now.

It can't even be done within a few years, and it will affect the whole body, and even cause shocks in the world.

Yun Xuan can't afford this consequence, and the emperor can't afford it.

"Lord Wang, someone is coming" Just as Yun Xuan was pondering, Ah Da's voice came from behind him.

Coming back to his senses, Yun Xuan looked into the distance, and a shadow walked over, which was refreshing and in a good mood.

Yun Xuan didn't expect to see the Moon Girl here, isn't this woman still giving up?

"Miss Yue, are you here to experience the local flavor of Yuanjiang?" Yun Xuan quipped.

"Prince Yin, I'm here to talk to you about the topic last time."

Yuenu looked at Ah Da behind her, her pupils shrank, this is a master.

"To be able to chat with a beauty like the Moon Girl, this king is naturally willing. But as you can see, this king really doesn't have time, so let's talk about it when he returns home.

Surely you know where this king lives. ”

The moon girl was silent for a while: "Okay", and then left.

Yun Xuan's eyes flickered, this woman should have any news in her hands that was unfavorable to her.

"Ah Da, you follow her secretly, this king thinks that this place must have their lair"

Blindly defending is not Yun Xuan's character, sooner or later he will confront the Moon Maiden, and Yun Xuan needs to know more about them before he can formulate a strategy.

Sending the moon girl away, Yun Xuan exhaled, and the focus now was on how to convince those who were willing to work.

The appearance of the Hundred Saints Sect made Yun Xuan feel a hint of crisis, and Yun Xuan needed to gather all his strength to make the strongest punch.

Taishou House.

"Why is there such a little food" Hyde looked at the food sent by the household department, and it couldn't support it for ten days at all.

In the past, it was a delivery that could support the people for a month, and Hyde's face was gloomy.

"Adult, the small one doesn't know, the small one obviously applied to the household department for tens of thousands of stone of food, but for some reason there is only so little"

Facing the furious Hyde, Blade of Grass trembled with fright, his eyebrows tightened, and he couldn't figure out why the household department had sent such a little food.

Hyde was furious, such a little food was not enough for the people to eat, if Yun Xuan found it, how should he explain.

"Lord Hai, this king heard that the food from the household department was delivered, and it happened that it was time for the people to eat."

At this moment, Yun Xuan's voice came from outside the door.

Hearing Yun Xuan's voice, Hyde frowned, now the matter is a big deal.

"Lord Hai doesn't look very good" Yun Xuan walked in and looked at Hyde as if he had eaten.

Hyde didn't know what to say to Yun Xuan, and then gave Blade of Grass a look.

Grass Leaf comprehended: "My lord, I don't know why the food sent by the household department this time is more than half less than before."

"That's enough for the people to eat for a few days," Yun Xuan frowned.

"Seven...... Seven days," Blade of Grass whispered.

"In seven days, this king has promised the people to unload the flood within a month, and now there is not enough food, how can you let this king explain to the people"

Yun Xuan was furious, what can he do with such a little food, and then said loudly: "Let Zheng Ku come over to this king."

Zheng Ku, who received the order, was taken aback, and hurriedly asked people to temporarily look at the location, and hurriedly came to the Taishou Mansion.

"My lord" Zheng looked at Yun Xuan and Hyde's gloomy faces, and was suspicious in his heart.

"Lord Zheng, you came just in time, Lord Cao said that the food sent by the household department this time was only enough for the people to eat for seven days, which was more than half less than the last time, why?"

Yun Xuan said calmly, but those eyes were like the calm before the storm.

"Impossible, the grain sent by the household department is according to the number of local applications, and it is impossible for such a big gap to occur."

Zheng Ku blurted out that when the disaster relief food will be delivered, when it will arrive, and how much it will be sent, this time there are strict steps.

There will never be a mistake, and you must know that if the food is not available for a day, it may inspire hatred in the hearts of the people and cause greater contradictions.

No one dares to come nonsense, this is a big crime for the whole clan.

"Impossible? What do you mean that this king united with Lord Hai, and Lord Grass deliberately lied" Yun Xuan's face was gloomy and his tone was cold.

"Don't dare" Zheng bitterly moved, and his face changed suddenly.

"The grain allocated by the household department and the records of Yuanjiang's application for grain are both two-way records, and this official wants to check these files."

"Lord Zheng, didn't those ledgers already give you an hour ago," Grass Leaf said.

"Lord Zheng, this king gives you a day, no matter what method you use, you must ensure that the food of the household department arrives within seven days" Yun Xuan left angrily.

Zheng Ku's face turned blue and green, this was the first time this situation had happened, and Zheng Ku couldn't figure it out.

"Master Zheng doesn't need to be in a hurry, maybe it's because the road along the way is not easy to walk, so I will send some food over first to deal with the emergency," Kusa comforted.

"I hope so, this official will leave first" Zheng Ku looked dull.

"Do you say this matter has anything to do with the Inspector" Hyde's eyes narrowed, and he had a bad premonition in his heart, all this happened too coincidentally.

"My lord, this shouldn't be, the inspector wants to solve the refugee problem as soon as possible than anyone else, so that he can show his hand in front of the emperor.

Besides, before the Inspector arrived, we had already applied to the Ministry of Households for food."

"You send some people to secretly follow the inspector and see if you can inquire about some news" Hyde looked into the distance, hoping that he was thinking too much.

At the end of the day's work, the people who had built the river returned to the factory exhausted.

However, the smell of meat wafting in the air made them instantly energetic, and their saliva was about to run down.

For months, I have been drinking gruel, not to mention meat, and I have not even eaten a bite of fresh vegetarian dishes.

"It's so fragrant, what does it smell like?"

"Meat, this is the taste of meat"

Those who were sleeping in the factory smelled the tempting smell and all came out of the factory, swallowing their saliva.

"Queue up, everyone has it, if anyone dares to cut in line, break the rules, there will be no food," the soldier said solemnly.

"I didn't expect there to be meat to eat, I thought it was a lie"

"yes, I haven't eaten meat for more than two months, and I don't know what it tastes like."

Picking up a piece of meat, the man swallowed it in one bite, and before he had time to taste it, the meat was already in his stomach: "It's so delicious, if only I could eat it every day."

Those who did not participate in the construction of the river looked at the big pieces of fat in the pot, and their saliva was about to flow down, and then looked at the gruel in their hands, and suddenly lost interest.

A man gave the younger brother next to him a look, and the younger brother stood up and said, "Why do they have meat to eat, we also want meat to eat, do you say right?"

"That's right, we want meat," the crowd agreed.

"You said that just now" A seven-foot-tall soldier wearing armor and a sharp blade pinned to his waist walked over, and his invisible aura made the surrounding people tremble.
