Chapter 11 The Man Who Borrowed Grain

Han Mu asked him directly, "Who do you think this grain should be borrowed from?" How much grain does the Yao family have in store now? ”

Where does Master Zhao know how much grain the Yao family has in stock, isn't this a secret of the Yao family?

Based on his own understanding, he could only take it for granted that the Yao family should have it, after all, it was the largest grain merchant in their county, and it was also counted in the entire state.

"You don't know anything, huh?" Han Mu was a little unhappy.

Master Zhao was embarrassed, in fact, he didn't know anything, for example, he knew that there were some grievances and hatreds between the Zeng family and the Yue family.

As soon as he heard that there were grievances and hatreds, Han Mu immediately leaned over to listen with interest, and asked with great interest, "What grievances and hatreds?" ”

Even Gu Junruo pricked up his ears.

Master Zhao pondered: "Actually, it's not a grudge, it's just that there seems to be some misunderstanding between the two families in the past, but they are still friendly neighbors on the surface, and they are all ...... of the same county."

Han Muyi waved his hand: "You directly say resentment, who made you whitewash the peace, we are now grasshoppers on a rope, I am not afraid that they have hatred, but I am afraid that they have no hatred, do you know?" ”

Who doesn't know that there is peace on the face.

His family and the Yongping Hou family still hate each other so much, but his father and the Yongping Hou don't have to squeeze out a smile when they meet on weekdays, who doesn't praise the harmony of the nobles?

Phew.

Han Mu shook his head and drove the Yongping Hou family out of his head, not wanting their family to dirty their heads.

Master Zhao paused for a little longer this time, and he had been comforting himself in his heart, yes, they are now grasshoppers on a rope.

Originally, this kind of information shouldn't have been told to Han Mu by Master Zhao, didn't he have to comprehend this kind of thing by himself?

Generally, the newly arrived county order has not wanted to find out the situation of a county for a year and a half, but for the sake of food, Zhao Zhushu can only cheap Han Mu.

"The lord of the Zeng family and the lord of the Yue family didn't like each other when they were young, and they heard that they were competing with each other when they were studying.

"And then, gone?" Han Mu was incredulous, "What kind of grudge is this?" ”

Gu Junruo grabbed him and asked Master Zhao, "What happened later?" ”

"Coincidentally, it was Zeng Gongzi's turn to study, and they were still classmates!"

Han Mu clapped his hands excitedly and said, "I know, so they continue the grievances of their fathers, isn't that the same as our family and the Yongping Hou family?" ”

He and Gu Junruo said: "My father and Yongping Hou are not used to each other, Jiang Huai's wife is as insidious and cunning as his father, and I am as honest and kind as my father, so Jiang Huai and I will inherit our father's will and become enemies." ”

Gu Junruo: "...... If Master Hou knew that you inherited this father's will, he would definitely beat you again. ”

Han Mu felt that his butt was a little painful again, he hurriedly changed the topic and urged Master Zhao, "You go on, the two of them, who is the sinister and cunning one?" ”

Master Zhao choked and paused for a while before saying: "The relationship between Zeng Gongzi and Yue Gongzi is quite good, and there is a friendship between entering and exiting together when studying in the county school. ”

Han Mu looked shocked and disdainful, "Are they actually better?" Isn't it unfilial piety to be friends with someone my father doesn't like? ”

"Shut up!" Gu Junruo couldn't bear it anymore, and after drinking Han Mu, he looked at Master Zhao with a calm face, "If you want to say it, just finish it in one breath, if you can't say it, ask Master Zhao to leave, and stop this matter." ”

Not to be outdone, Han Mu snorted, but he didn't squeak again, but muttered to himself, "You also say that you are gentle and virtuous, and sure enough, the rumors are all lies......

Zhao Zhushu, who also wanted to sell Guan Zi again, immediately sped up and said: "Three years ago, Zeng Gongzi and Yue Gongzi went to Beijing together to take the exam. ”

"But I don't know why, the night before entering the examination room, my son-in-law had a bad stomach, which was so serious that he was sent to the hospital, and then when they returned to Yixian, they had cut off contact, and many people outside said that Zeng Gongzi drugged his son-in-law so that he could not take the exam, but Zeng Gongzi himself did not pass the exam."

"Since the rumors came out, the relationship between the Zeng family and the Yue family has become more and more bad, but they are still private confrontations, and they are still good neighbors on the surface."

Han Mu sighed: "Just like our family and the Yongping Hou family, they are only superficial. ”

He looked at Gu Junruo, "What do you say?" ”

Gu Junruo: "You are the county commander, what should you do if you ask me?" ”

Han Mu glared, "Didn't you say you want to help me?" ”

He said, "Do you think I can come up with a good solution with my brain?" ”

"How do you know you can't think of it without thinking about it?"

"I thought, borrow food, give them an IOU, and pay it back when they have money and food in the future, can they agree?"

"I haven't tried, how do you know they won't say yes?" Gu Jun said thoughtfully: "Others may not be able to borrow it, but we are really possible." ”

Han Mu remembered his identity, and couldn't help but slap the table, "That's right, I'm the second son of Yong'an Hou, can I borrow a few stones of grain?" ”

Gu Junruo emphasized: "It's not a few stones, it's hundreds of stones." ”

Han Mu: "What do you want so much food for?" ”

"It's not just us who eat, but the people."

Han Mu: "That's pretty much it, I came in all the way, and I didn't see a few people on the street." ”

He turned his head and asked Master Zhao: "Are the people in the county almost running, how long is a stone of grain enough for them to eat?" ”

Master Zhao: "...... There were a lot of people who ran away, but there were also many people who fell hungry at home, so the adults didn't see it when they entered the city. ”

Han Mu frowned, still a little disappointed, "That is, there are still many people?" Hundreds of stones...... Okay, I'll borrow! ”

As if he said that he could borrow it, Zhao Zhushu reminded: "Although the adults are noble, our Yixian County is remote, and the people have limited knowledge......"

Han Mu nodded, "It's quite remote, when the emperor asked me to come to Yi County as a county magistrate, I didn't even know where this was." ”

Gu Junruo: "Master Zhao's book means that the sky is high here, the emperor is far away, everyone may not know Yong'an Hou, don't know your second son Han, won't sell your face, can you borrow food and pay it back." ”

Han Mu was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Master Zhao's book.

Master Zhao lowered his head embarrassedly, that's what he meant.

"But you can give it a try," Gu Junruo said, "This is also the fastest way to borrow food at present." ”

Han Mu asked, "What about after that?" We can't just borrow food all the time, can we? ”

"It's rare that you can think of this," Gu Junruo praised him and said, "After that, no, it should be said that now, we should ask the imperial court for relief grain." ”

"If we can't borrow food, then we can only wait for the relief food to find a way to get through this time."

But what way, Gu Junruo hasn't thought of it for the time being.
