Chapter 62: The Reception Banquet
Cao Bin smiled: "What's so difficult about this? In the future, when you boil porridge, you can make it as unpalatable as it can be, and then add some loess sand to it......."
Before he could finish speaking, Yan Chasan was already glaring angrily.
Everyone also looked at Cao Bin with incredible eyes, as if they didn't expect him to have such a lack of moral ideas.
Fat Zhizhou wiped his sweat again and again and said: "Uncle is easy to cause resentment among the people like this, right?" ”
At this moment, Jiang Ping, the river rat behind Yan Chasan, clapped his hands and admired:
"Uncle is very strategic, so as long as you are not too hungry, you will naturally not want to eat a second bowl."
"This will not only prevent people from starving to death, but also save a lot of food, good idea!"
Sighing, he went on to explain:
"How can a man who is dying of hunger have any resentment? For them, the bark of the grass roots is fragrant. ”
"If there is really a grudge, it is also those who fish in troubled waters, whoever dares to make trouble, arrest them."
Fat Zhizhou suddenly realized, nodded again and again:
"Good idea, Uncle is really resourceful, admire and admire."
The others were also impressed, but they didn't expect Cao Bin to have such a crooked talent.
Cao Bin waved his hand proudly and said, "Passing the prize, passing the award, it's all trivial." ”
At this moment, he deeply felt that his TV series was not in vain, and at least he learned a little bit of disaster relief.
Yan Chasan also had to admit that this was indeed a good way, and he even knew some of the meaning of human nature.
He looked at Fat Zhizhou and said, "In this way, Wang Zhizhou should have no problem, right?" ”
The smile on Fat Zhizhou's face suddenly stopped, and he reluctantly said:
"Xiaguan do your best!"
Yan Chasan is categorical:
"It's not a try, it's a must, at least a month!"
"And every penny of food has to be spent on the victims."
"This official will scrutinize your accounts."
The fat on Fat Zhizhou's face trembled, wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and nodded reluctantly:
"Hey...... Lord Yan can rest assured that I, the Jeju officials, will never be corrupt. ”
As soon as the people entered the city gate, an official came running to report:
"My lord, Lord Yanzhou Chang has arrived, and he is waiting for you in Taibai Building."
Fat Zhizhou was suddenly shocked, and said with some eagerness:
"Lord Chang actually arrived in person, and the two envoys should go with the officials to meet them."
When Cao Bin heard this, he was suddenly stunned.
Master Pang's letter to himself was addressed to this Changfeng Chang Master.
He is the pacification envoy of Jingdong Road and the judge of Yanzhou affairs, controls the military of a province, and also has the responsibility of supervising the states of Shandong, and is in a high position.
With him to take care of him, his errand will be much easier.
Therefore, he also wanted to meet this person as soon as possible.
After a while, everyone followed Fat Zhizhou to the Taibai Building.
The restaurant is three stories high, and in the evening, it is full of red lights.
The little second brother shuttled back and forth, a peaceful and prosperous scene.
When Yan Chasan and the others saw this, their brows furrowed.
At this time, a middle-aged man in a dignified official uniform walked out, smiled and said:
"The two envoys have finally arrived, and I am looking forward to you like a dry seedling, haha......"
Fat Zhizhou hurriedly introduced: "Two envoys, this is Master Chang. ”
After saluting, Chang Feng patted Cao Bin's shoulder affectionately and said:
"Uncle Cao, the old lady has always been good?"
"Are you still used to going out for the first time? We are all our own people, if there is any discomfort, we must tell Chang! ”
Cao Bin showed a bright smile:
"Everything is fine with the Taishi, and I have nothing unaccustomed to it, Master Lao Chang remembers."
Chang Feng nodded again and again: "That's good, that's good." ”
As he spoke, he took Cao Bin's hand and said:
"Come on, come on, today I have invited a lot of local gentry to pick up the wind for you, and I don't have to ask them for help this time."
Then, he introduced it a little before he said with great confidence:
"Don't worry, with me, you won't be able to get out of this errand."
"Whoever dares to stretch out his hand in this matter will ruin your future, and I will never sit idly by."
"Otherwise, I won't be able to explain to the Taishi!"
Cao Bin saw his enthusiastic look, and couldn't help but sigh, there are still people in the court who are good officials.
With a traitor like Pang Taishi to take care of, and there are fellow parties everywhere when he goes out of the capital, if it is really as the person in front of him said, then the disaster relief thing is completely complete.
Sui Chang went to the third floor, and after they sat down, the little second brother had already begun to serve the food.
To Cao Bin's surprise, the dishes of this Taibai Mansion were unexpectedly good, and they were not inferior to the capital.
Flying in the sky, swimming in the water, running in the mountains, everything is abundant.
After a while, the dishes on the dinner table were staggered, and the meat and vegetables were complete.
Fat Zhizhou stood up and said humbly: "The banquet is shabby, you adults will use some." ”
Yan Chasan looked at the sumptuous banquet and couldn't help but sarcastically:
"Is this also called shabby? I've never had such a hearty meal in Tokyo, and the year of the catastrophe has passed, right? ”
His remarks immediately made the local officials present a little uneasy.
Fat Zhizhou wiped his sweat nervously, and hurriedly explained: "We are also here to catch the wind for the two envoys, just a little heart, a little heart......"
Chang Feng laughed when he saw this, and pointed at Fat Zhizhou with chopsticks:
"Lord Wang, this is your mistake, in the year of the catastrophe, it is better to be simple."
"You are so extravagant and wasteful, be careful that Yan Qin will make you a copy in front of the official family!"
Fat Zhizhou wiped his sweat again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, what Master Chang said is that it is Xiaguan Meng Lang." ”
After speaking, he hurriedly shouted at the top of his throat: "Come on, quickly remove the dishes!" ”
Cao Bin had already raised his chopsticks, but when he saw the guy coming up to remove the dishes, he suddenly stopped doing it:
"Damn, who told you to withdraw? There are so many good drinks and dishes, and they have been made, if they are withdrawn, won't it be a waste? ”
"It's most annoying for you superficial people!"
Even though he said this, he had his own considerations in mind.
Although he said that he was a Qincha and was able to control these local officials, but now that he has just arrived, his eyes are black.
When you come, you have to lift the table, and it's a little too fast, and when no one cooperates, won't you sit on the wax?
Although Chang Feng is his own person, he may not be very credible, and he doesn't look like a good person.
...... Of course, good people will not be in the same party as Pang Taishi.
Although Cao Bin didn't have much political wisdom, he also knew the truth that the strong dragon did not suppress the snake, so he coaxed them to send disaster relief materials first.
If you become a bare-bones commander, you can't give food to the victims yourself, right?
Hearing Cao Bin say this, the local official's expression suddenly relaxed, but Fat Zhizhou looked at Chang Feng in embarrassment.
Chang Feng shook his head helplessly and said, "What Uncle Cao said also makes sense, don't you take it as an example!" ”
However, seeing Cao Bin's performance, the smile in his eyes became more natural.
Yan Chasan glanced at Cao Bin with a gloomy face, and he didn't want to say anything more.
Chang Feng saw Cao Bin eating happily, and asked inadvertently:
"Uncle Cao, I heard that in addition to 500,000 stone of grain, the imperial court also allocated three million taels of silver?"
Cao Bin glanced up at him, poured a sip of tea unhurriedly, wiped his mouth again, and said:
"Yes, the imperial court is afraid that there will not be enough grain and grass, so it ordered us to buy grain with silver to make up for the lack of ......."
A gentry said eagerly: "Uncle Cao, at what price are you going to buy grain?" ”
When he said this, all the gentry and officials present pricked up their ears.
