In front of the official warehouse, under the orderly auspices of Cui Yuanting, the people of Wuyang were maintained by the people and divided into two orderly columns.

The two Si Huzuo were at the forefront to verify the materials such as the actual hand, and after verifying that they were correct, they asked the borrower to sign and draw the pledge and receive the grain with the ticket.

The discussion of the people clearly reached the ears of the Lingfu -

"The county magistrate is really a good official! Not only did the price of rice come down as soon as it came, but it also opened a warehouse to lend us grain at this moment. ”

"Yes, although the price of rice has dropped a little, who can afford it for a thousand wen and a bucket? Now, as long as we return all the food in the fall, this will really save the lives of my family! ”

"God has opened his eyes, and finally sent a good official to our Chuyi!"

……

Listening to the many discussions, Lingfu was sincerely proud of Cui Yuanting, it turned out that it was so touching to truly solve the difficulties of the people.

This time, there are two ways to sell the rice, one is to sell the rice at the same price as last year's government purchase, and the other is to borrow rice for free and repay it in the same amount in the fall.

The people could choose one of two ways.

This will solve their great problem. Some people chose the first, but many more chose the second.

Some of the people who received the food left, but some tried to squeeze in front of Cui Yuanting, knelt down, and kept kowtowing.

"County Zun, you are the reborn parents of the grass people, and the grass people must have your immortal tablet at home!"

Lingfu looked at it, and suddenly felt that this kneeling man was very familiar, and when she saw the boy who knelt down behind the man, she recognized that this person was Liu Er, the dealer who was stopped by her and Cui Yuanting from selling women!

Cui Yuanting obviously also recognized Liu Er, because he was separated by the guards, he could only help him and said, "It's you Liu Er!" Don't kneel, it's crowded, take your kids home! ”

Liu Er still couldn't stand on his knees, and said loudly: "The county respects his words and has a letter, not only has the price of grain been lowered within three days, but also opened a warehouse to give us a grain loan, so that Liu Er does not have to sell women to live, so that our family can be reunited, and the grass people are willing to be cattle and horses for the county!" ”

"No, it doesn't have to be ......"

Before Cui Yuanting finished speaking, he saw Ah Nian, the boy behind Liu Er, walking a few steps on his knees and coming to Cui Yuanting.

I only heard him say crisply: "County Zun, the jade pendant you gave to the family has been changed, and Ah Nian can't return it now, but you saved our family and avoided the separation of our family, Ah Nian is willing to be your slave and repay your great kindness!" ”

Cui Yuanting put aside the servant, came to Ah Nian, helped him up and said: "Ah Nian, you are still a child, you should grow up well, don't say that you sell yourself as a slave at every turn in the future, and I don't want you to be a slave." ”

"You are a child who speaks of righteousness, and I really hope that you will be a useful person in the future, and after the current food crisis is over, this official will focus on restoring the county school, and I hope you can come to study and be reasonable."

Ah Nian's tears were surging, and he was about to kneel down and kowtow again, but was pulled by Cui Yuanting.

This inspired more people to kneel and worship Cui Yuanting.

"The county respects benevolence and benevolence!"

"The county's grace is like heaven!"

……

Lingfu noticed the unnaturalness of Cui Yuanting's movements, and after a little thought, he knew that it was an injury that involved his shoulder.

But she didn't know that the injury was actually torn when she did it to Cao Fenglin last night.

Cui Yuanting had no choice but to wave his hand: "Don't kneel, don't kneel!" ”

But there are more passionate people. Cui Yuanting motioned to the official holding the gong, and the official "Dangdang" struck.

The people looked up in silence, and Cui Yuanting said loudly: "Folks, listen to me, don't bow down here, get the food and go home quickly, I, Cui Yuanting, have only one thing to tell you, one day I am here, I will never let my people starve to death!" ”

"But I also have one thing to ask of you, that is, when you go back, you will work hard to cultivate and weave, take care of your fields, and raise your livestock and poultry!"

"This official also looks forward to everyone's abundance in the autumn! As long as you go back to farm well and live well, it will not be in vain for you to fight for this one! ”

The collective has emotions, and the gratitude of hundreds of people is intertwined in one place, and Lingfu personally feels a powerful and shocking force.

The people conveyed their gratitude to the prefectural order in their own way, and went home obediently, and the rest of the food collection team became more and more regular.

The sun was shining and warm in April, and Cui Yuanting's face was bathed in splendor.

But how brilliant Cui Yuanting is at this moment, how bleak Jiang Tongfan is.

Around the corner behind the official warehouse, where the sun couldn't find it, Jiang Tongfan's face was as gloomy as his mood.

Most of the grain in the official warehouse has been released, and today it is destined to be gone.

Even if he jumped up at this moment and tried desperately to stop it, it would be useless.

What's more, the official warehouse already has the function of stabilizing grain prices and providing relief for famine years, Cui Yuanting made a good person, and he stepped forward to be a wicked person in front of the people?

And it's the kind that doesn't work.

Although Jiang Xiancheng has consciously operated in Chuyi for many years, and his real strength has thrown Cui Yuanting a few streets, but he can't stand the fact that Cui Yuanting has the greatest right to speak on the bright side.

It is the so-called official level that crushes people to death.

Jiang Tongfan stared at Cui Yuanting's back and gritted his teeth fiercely.

Cui Yuanting, enjoy being Wanmin's parents, right?

It's up to you today! If you put food to save the hungry people today, I will make you unable to save yourself tomorrow!

Jiang Tongfan spat on the ground fiercely, turned around and left. Lian Er, who followed, also asked: "County Cheng, let's just leave?" ”

Jiang Tongfan paused and glared at him fiercely: "Otherwise? ”

Lian Er was silent when he saw this, and followed Jiang Xiancheng behind.

Lingfu set his eyes on the food receiving procession, and suddenly saw Qu and Tian Ma standing in the crowd, looking at her sadly.

Lingfu said to Cui Yuanting: "County Zun, my aunt is over there, I'll go over." ”

Cui Yuanting followed Lingfu's gaze and saw a woman in a blue shirt looking at them without a blink of an eye, so he nodded.

Lingfu squeezed through the crowd and came to Qu's side: "A-Niang, you are here." ”

Qu's gaze carefully examined Lingfu's face, and he couldn't help but flatten his lips and redden: "You don't let me worry about ......"

Seeing that he was about to cry, Qu turned his head angrily, wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and glared at Lingfu angrily: "You haven't returned all night, do you know A-Niang's mood?" ”

Lingfu was sorry in her heart, she had indeed forgotten to inform the Qu family.

The main reason is that she, a former single orphan, is used to being alone, and has not yet established the awareness of reporting to others, and she did not expect that she would not be able to return home because of the curfew.

But I still have to apologize: "Auntie, I'm sorry, it was my fault that I didn't inform you in time." Last night, I went out with the county to run errands, and I forgot about it. ”

You can't tell Qu about being drugged in wine and almost being violated.

Otherwise, Qu would have tried his best to drag her home.

"I knew it." Hearing this, Qu glanced at Cui Yuanting with a complaining look, with twelve points of pickiness in his eyes, and said sadly to Lingfu: "You accompany him on errands day and night like this, what will you do in the future?" ”

Lingfu understood Qu's worries, but she couldn't let them hold her back.

It's time to find an opportunity to show your attitude to Qu.
