Although Han Mu is a gentleman, he is not stupid, and his knowledge is here.

If he and Gu Jun are new to the city, they have neither old feelings nor connections with Yue Tai, and if they want each other to help, they can only put their interests on the table or force each other with momentum.

It's just that Master Yue doesn't seem to like Han Mu very much, and has been crying poorly, saying that although he has the heart to help the county order, he doesn't have much ability.

In the end, he said that he was willing to lend fifty stone of grain to the county government.

After Gu Junruo's science popularization, Han Mu already knew that fifty stones of grain were just sprinkling water for him and Yixian, and it would not play a role at all.

He was a little angry, and he wanted to get angry.

Gu Junruo, who had been watching in silence, gently tugged on his sleeve to let him suppress his temper, and then looked up at Yue Tai, "Master Yue, it seems that the Yue family has lived in Yixian County for generations. ”

Yue Tai nodded with a smile, "Exactly." ”

Gu Junruo said: "Yixian is a special place, Chen and Qi are at the junction of my Great Zhou, although the Three Kingdoms have been stable over the years, but some small conflicts are inevitable, such as this flood, a river, connecting three countries, and among them, my Great Zhou and Chen are the most seriously damaged, and the displaced people are mixed together, exiled everywhere. ”

"Under such circumstances, Master Yue obviously has the ability to leave Yixian, the land of right and wrong, but he did not leave, which shows that it is difficult for Master Yue to give up his hometown."

When Master Yue heard this, he sighed deeply and said: "People leave their hometowns, I have lived here since I was a child, and I grew up in Si, how can I just leave?" ”

Gu Junruo also nodded and sighed: "This shows Master Yue's heart. ”

She said: "This flood, Yixian is only one of the counties affected by the disaster, the court already knows, before we come out, the adults in the court are already discussing the disaster relief, but you also know that it will take a while to discuss the settlement and then raise the food for disaster relief, let alone transport the relief food." ”

"We can wait, but can the people of Yixian still wait?" Gu Junruo said: "If the fertile land is washed away, it can be re-cultivated, the embankment is washed away, it can be rebuilt, and even if the county seat is gone, it can be rebuilt, but once people die and leave, it will be difficult to come back." ”

"In the final analysis, Yixian County is still the Yixian County of the people, only if they are there, Yixian will have vitality, otherwise they will all die and flee, this county has become an empty city, can Yixian still be Yixian?"

Yue Tai was silent.

Gu Junruo said: "The reason why the county gentleman and I were the first to come to Mr. Yue was because we knew that Mr. Yue was a well-known virtuous person in the countryside, and the people of Yixian County also thought of your goodness, and we also knew that it was difficult for you to borrow grain from you." ”

"But there is really no way, I and the county gentleman have just arrived, we have no long things, and the county treasury is empty, except for you, who else can we ask for?"

Han Mu couldn't help but go to Gu Junruo.

Gu Junruo's face was unchanged, his face was normal, and he continued: "But the county gentleman and I will not let good people suffer too many losses." ”

She said: "This part of the money and grain is borrowed by the county government, and Yixian always has to pay it back, even if Yixian can't afford to pay it back, then there is also the Yong'an Marquis Mansion and the imperial court." ”

Gu Junruo said with a smile: "Yong'an Hou's favorite son, you must not watch the county monarch lose his trust, although my father is strict, but it is the responsibility of the household department to help the disaster county, and he will not sit idly by." ”

Yue Tai took the opportunity to ask, "Ling Zun is?" ”

Xiao Chan behind Gu Junruo said smartly: "My master is a household servant. ”

Yue Tai was relieved.

He lowered his eyes and thought, what Gu Junruo said was right, he had lived here for generations, and if he could do good things for Yixian, he was naturally willing to do it, but he was just ......

Yue Tai still minded a little and asked, "Why didn't the county gentleman and his wife go to find Master Zeng?" Speaking of which, his family is the first person in Yixian County. ”

Han Mu: Whoever said he wouldn't look for it, he would look for it in a while.

Gu Junruo shook his head with a smile and said, "In the eyes of our husband and wife, Master Yue is the first person in Yixian. ”

She said: "As soon as the county gentleman and I arrived in Yixian, I heard that the price of grain in the county is now one hundred and eighty wen per bucket, and the Yao family, the largest grain merchant in Yixian, is the in-law of the Zeng family?" ”

Yue Tai's spirits perked up, and he said bad things about the Zeng family, "Exactly, eight out of ten grain shops in this county belong to his Yao family and Zeng family." ”

Gu Junruo sighed and said: "Although Chuzhou has suffered from floods, after all, this is the land of fish and rice, and grain from other states and counties can come in quickly, why has the price of grain risen so outrageously?" ”

Yue Tai nodded approvingly: "Yes, yes, and the price of this grain has risen in less than a month in just one month, so what can I say that the grain from outside can't be transported in, but my Yixian County not only has land routes, but also many waterways, and if it can't be transported in ten days, can't it be transported in a month?" It can be seen that it is manipulated by people with intentions. ”

Gu Junruo looked like he was the same enemy, "So the county gentleman was very angry, and when he learned that Master Yue had been opening a porridge shed to help the people, he said that Master Yue was the first person in our righteous county." ”

Although Yue Tai was blown up and was in a very comfortable mood, he still didn't respond to Han Mu and Gu Junruo's request in a daze, but asked after a little thought: "How do the county monarch and his wife plan to help the people?" ”

Han Mu's mouth was quick, "Just send the relief food, give each of them three days' food first, and then talk about it if they survive." ”

Yue Tai twitched the corner of his mouth, "The county monarch is kind." ”

He turned his head and asked Gu Junruo, "What does Madam think?" ”

Gu Junruo said gently: "What the county monarch said is right, we have to let the people survive first and appease them, there is nothing better than food, so we will give them relief food, and then work for relief." ”

She said: "Since it is said that the grain from outside cannot come in, then we will organize the people to clean up the roads and rivers, send people out to contact the grain merchants outside, and invite the grain merchants to enter in the name of the county government; ”

He added: "The collapsed houses and streets in the county town also need to be repaired, and the embankments need to be rebuilt. ”

"The people have a way to live, they will naturally be stable, and Shiyi County will be able to regain its vitality," Gu Junruo said with a smile: "If this matter is successful, the Yue family should be a great achievement." ”

She turned her head and said to Han Mu: "At that time, the county monarch should ask for a plaque of the family of Jishan for the Yue family and His Majesty." ”

He can apply then, but I'm afraid the emperor won't agree.

Han Mu nodded with Yue Tai in a clear conscience, "No problem." ”

Yue Tai groaned and groaned, wanting to agree, but also afraid that the two of them were painting a big cake, and he was still hesitating, Yue Jinghe, who was sitting on the side, nodded directly and said, "Okay, how much grain do you want to borrow?" ”

Yue Tai couldn't help but turn his head to look at his son, "Jinghe! ”

Yue Jinghe said with a light face: "Father, I remember that there is still some old grain at home, everyone is more frugal, and they can always help the county monarch." ”

Yue Tai was not easy to refute Yue Jinghe in front of outsiders, and he himself was also very moved, so he nodded and asked Han Mu, "I don't know how much food the adults want to borrow?" ”

The more the merrier, of course.

Han Mu couldn't help but go to Gu Junruo.

Gu Junruo opened his mouth widely, "Ten thousand stones." ”
