Since the beginning of this year, Xu Chengyue, the governor of Ningbo Prefecture, has been living in anxiety.

When I first took office in Ningbo Mansion, my classmates and friends congratulated me one after another, and it must have been wonderful to be a governor in a prosperous and wealthy place like Ningbo Mansion.

Xu Chengyue also imagined it this way at the beginning, but as soon as he took office, he found that it was not like that at all.

Ningbo Mansion and other places are one of the few scientific research mansions in Dayan Country, and it is really a place where people are reading everywhere, and there are as many people as officials in the family as dogs!

Those gentry, through in-laws or other means, colluded with each other and became one, as the governor Xu Chengyue Mo said that it would be good to manage them, not to be managed by them!

Among these people, they may also have dirty, but externally, especially in the face of foreign officials like Xu Chengyue, it is called an iron plate!

If you dare to move one, the others will be able to unite and fight back against you!

You say that I am the governor and I am not afraid, okay, I don't know how many of the sons and nephews of these people's families are officials in the court, and each family writes a letter and sends it to the capital, and the impeachment of you can drown the three provinces!

Even if he doesn't go out to be an official's son, Xu Chengyue can't let go of his hands and feet.

Which of those elders who are raised by Shi Rong is not a protégé and a former official all over the world? Which one is not full of connections and can be connected?

Even if you don't talk about this, the seniority of the elders alone is extremely high, and a random post can call you to a certain exquisite and luxurious garden to preach!

What's even more terrifying is that those who have a livelihood at sea have all the big names in the court standing behind them, and just one mansion is really nothing!

After a few years, Xu Chengyue also understood that being an official in Ningbo Mansion can only be a decoration like a wooden clay sculpture!

Of course, if you are obedient and obedient, those gentry are still very kind, and the court can also find help, and when the term of office expires, you will be given a flower head such as an umbrella to keep your career smooth!

Xu Chengyue is indifferent, in the words of later generations, he is a bit of Buddhism, although he has the righteousness of a scholar, but he will not make a fool of himself with the gentry, although he will not stop the gentry's behavior on weekdays, but he will not completely take refuge.

Anyway, it's just to get through the days, and when you get to the end, you can't see it and don't get annoyed.

However, the drought that began at the end of last year made Xu Chengyue very panicked.

Until this year's floods everywhere, coupled with the barbarian rampant, it was really natural and man-made disasters that gathered together, Xu Chengyue was completely panicked!

Hundreds of thousands of people in Ningbo are about to run out of food!

wrote to the imperial court and asked for the allocation of relief grain, but was ridiculed, if relief is needed in places like Ningbo, then what should the people in other parts of the Great Yan Kingdom do?

As the price of food in the city soared, Xu Chengyue finally couldn't sit still!

How those gentry make money on weekdays has nothing to do with him Xu Chengyue, but if a famine breaks out among the hundreds of thousands of people in Ningbo, some will starve to death...... Xu Chengyue's head must not be saved!

At that moment, Xu Chengyue took action and asked those gentry to borrow food one by one.

It's not begging, it's borrowing, and I'll pay it back in the future!

Although I didn't eat the closed door, I couldn't borrow food!

Each family is average, and it is sent to the government for more than a dozen stone grains, which is not even a drop in the bucket!

If you are cheeky enough to borrow it, the gentry will have a unified caliber, and the landlord's family will have no surplus grain!

Xu Chengyue is not a fool, he knows that these gentry families must be full of grains!

There are also those grain merchants who have prepared in advance, if they hadn't deliberately controlled the amount of grain sold and artificially aggravated the grain price in Ningbo, they would not have made a fuss about the current grain price rising dozens of times!

A local veteran couldn't bear to see Xu Chengyue working in vain, and took the initiative to tell him that the crazy rise in grain prices was just the beginning, and when the city was full of people selling their sons and daughters and taking the initiative to sign decades of work contracts with others, when would the grain price be the real apex!

Xu Chengyue is numb, is this what people do?

In the past, those gentry were kind and kind-eyed, and after building bridges and repairing roads, they had a good reputation in Ningbo, and they were called elders and good people.

But these elders and good people took advantage of the year of natural disasters to force ordinary people to death...... In the world, how can there be such elders and good people!

Xu Chengyue, who had fallen into despair, even had the idea of a fish dying in his heart.

After all, if you don't think about disaster relief, hundreds of people will starve to death, and your own life will definitely be lost!

The gentry in the city will never help themselves to survive, this point, Xu Chengyue has a bottom in his heart, he has come to Ningbo in the past few years, although he did not take the initiative to be enemies with the gentry, but he did not integrate into it, the other party did not fall into the well, even if he had a conscience.

But those who take advantage of the disaster year to revel, will they have a conscience?

If he could use his head in exchange for enough food for the people of Ningbo to live, Xu Chengyue would be willing, after all, he did not die in vain.

But even if you are willing to exchange your life, you can't exchange it for food!

Xu Chengyue, who was both distressed by the people and worried about himself, was at a loss in the government office, and waited for the news that someone in the port was selling big yellow croaker at the price of a penny and a catty!

Moreover, there are nearly a million catties of quantity!

There's a way to live!

Xu Chengyue in the government looked up to the sky and roared, causing others to think he was crazy!

"Go buy a few big yellow croakers and come back, the official wants to drink a few glasses, just with fish and meat to accompany the wine, it can be regarded as having fun with the people!"

Xu Chengyue, who was desperate for life, heard that the Qiongzhou group practice announced that he would come to sell fish three days later, and immediately danced, "I just hope that Yang Bomo will break his promise." ”

If three days later, the boat of Qiongzhou regimental training can really bring back millions of catties of fish again, then the whole of Ningbo can be stabilized and can avoid a catastrophe!

But Xu Chengyue is not a native of the coast, and he doesn't know how to fish, so it must be extremely difficult to catch so many fish at one time...... Even if the catch is less than half, no, even if it is only 30%, the people of Ningbo can survive this disaster!

It's just that the gentry in the city are afraid that they will not sit idly by, after all, this disaster year is the feast and carnival they have been waiting for for a long time!

It's just that the ship of Qiongzhou Tuanlian has been out of port for a long time, and Xu Chengyue wants to remind him, but he has no opportunity channel, so he can only wait silently.

In any case, even if the gentry unite to do it, the ship of the Qiongzhou regimental training will still have a chance to return!

We must make good use of this opportunity to save as many people as possible!

In this era, fresh fish is difficult to preserve for a long time, and the number of large yellow croakers that pour into Ningbo at one time is so much, even if it is too late to make salted fish regardless of the cost, so even if those tens of thousands of catties of merchants buy in the resale, they will not increase the price too much, and the highest three catties will be the sky!

Besides, the Qiongzhou group practice that sells fish made it clear before leaving, and he will come back in three days at most!

In the whole of Ningbo, whether it is the governor Xu Chengyue, or the people who can't afford to buy rice and grain, or the gentry who are angry and angry, they are all waiting and waiting.

Will the boat of Qiongzhou regimental training come back?
