Chapter 44 Bran and Forage

Shaanxi, Xi'an.

Outside the city.

A group of officials in blue-green official robes are looking into the distance.

From time to time, there were also a few discussions.

"I really didn't expect that Your Majesty would actually send the vassal king to deal with the disaster relief."

"That's weird."

"Shhhh

"He is the governor of the two provinces, if he hears it, be careful to lose his head!"

"Ah..... I.. I just mentioned it, and I didn't stop it, so why cut off my head? ”

"That's it, if you want me to see, this Liang Wang is nothing more than to please His Majesty, get an official position, and go here to gild it."

"Yes, that's right, don't you know the character of King Liang? A mediocre and mediocre king of the rice worm domain. ”

"He wants to deal with this homeless people, is it up to us? Afraid of what. ”

"That's right."

“......”

Everyone was discussing the first feudal governor of the Ming Dynasty.

Only the three red-robed officials in front of them did not join the discussion.

Just anxiously looking into the distance.

After a while.

The sun was already shining overhead, but there was still no figure in the distance.

This can be done to make Tang Tai hot.

After they learned from the front post station that Zhu Gaoxuan would arrive in Xi'an today.

They arrived at six o'clock in the morning and have been standing until now.

As a result, I didn't even see a figure.

He was already obese, and he really couldn't stand it.

"Lord Ping, King Liang may be late due to problems such as the journey, we might as well rest for a while and let people go to the front post station to check the situation."

"It's never too late."

Ping Sizhong covered his eyes with his hands and looked at the weather.

He couldn't stand the scorching sun anymore.

So he nodded.

Agreed to go and rest for a while.

Not long after, when a few people sat in the makeshift pergola, they got the news that the Liang King had set off a day earlier.

I can't help but look at each other.

After they have been standing here for so long, they have already entered the city.

Isn't that playing on them?

Suddenly, everyone present was furious.

They all returned to the city to find trouble with Zhu Gaoxuan.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxuan was already in Lantian County, under Xi'an Prefecture.

Because the disaster here is the most serious, he came here.

It is to see how serious the disaster is.

Otherwise, it is easy for those officials to take advantage of the loopholes.

When he really saw the disaster, Zhu Gaoxuan knew what the displaced people were like in history.

The people here are not only yellow and thin, but also many of them are lying on the ground with big bellies.

Thanks to Zhu Gaoxuan's early years when he went to Liangzhou, he saw this kind of scene.

So he knew exactly what it was.

But even if he had seen it before, Zhu Gaoxuan had no way to calm down.

said with a smile on his face.

"Give them some of the food we brought."

"Yes, lord."

Look at the people in front of you who are vying for food like wolves.

Zhu Gaoxuan sighed.

Then he asked Zhuge Xuan and others to go to the yamen with him.

"Stop! Who are you, don't you know what place this is?! ”

As soon as he walked to the yamen, Zhu Gaoxuan was stopped by the guards.

was stopped by him, and Zhu Gaoxuan was not angry.

Just said lightly.

"Go and tell your county commander that this official is the governor of the two provinces sent by the imperial court to deal with disaster relief, and let him come to see this official!"

Looking at the dress of Zhu Gaoxuan and others, they don't look like ordinary people.

This made the official a little unaware that what he said was true or false.

But just go in and make a report.

It shouldn't be a big problem.

So he hurriedly continued.

"You wait a while, I'll go and inform Master Li immediately."

Zhu Gaoxuan didn't answer, just waited quietly.

A short time later, an official in a green robe hurriedly walked out.

"I don't know if you have any official documents from the imperial court?"

The official said.

He had just been teasing the concubine inside, but he was told that the governors of the two provinces had come to him.

This startled him, and he immediately walked out quickly to check.

As early as a few days ago, Master Ping of the Political Secretary had already sent them a letter.

It is said that it is not the prince's person who came to deal with the disaster relief this time, but His Majesty's fourth son.

He also told them to stumble on him if he could.

Why did you come directly to his Lantian County now?

Shouldn't it be in Xi'an?

Although he was suspicious, he didn't blast them out stupidly.

Anyway, left and right are nothing more than a matter of one sentence.

At this time, Zhuge Xuan stretched out his hand to open the official document in his waist and propped it up in front of the official's eyes.

The officer looked at it.

Hurriedly knelt down and shouted.

"Li Yuan, the county commander of Lantian County, see Lord Governor!"

Seeing that the county order knelt down, it was obvious that this was a real court official.

A group of officials behind him also knelt down.

"Get up."

Zhu Gaoxuan said lightly, and then took the lead in walking into the yamen.

Said as he walked.

"How many catties of grain do you have left?"

"Back to my lord, it's only about 2,000 stones, which is only a month's ration for the yamen."

Li Xian Ling hurriedly replied.

It was clear that the new governor wanted to use the food of their yamen to help the victims.

But this is simply impossible, they themselves do not have enough to eat, and they take it out to help those displaced people.

Isn't this looking for death?

"Take out a thousand stones to help those victims."

"In addition, I would like to instruct those big families in the county to donate a little food from each household."

As he spoke, Zhu Gaoxuan turned his head to look at Li Yuan.

"I know it's hard for you, but don't worry, the imperial court will send some food over in the near future."

"Hold on a few more days."

Hang on? Don't you know that the food for the imperial court's disaster relief this time is only a few hundred thousand stones?

Li Xianling muttered a few words in his heart.

But he didn't refute it, just said.

"It's okay for the yamen to take out this grain in a hurry, but I'm afraid it's a little difficult to let those big families take out the grain."

"If the disaster in Lantian expands, my father must be angry, right? When the time comes, it is not certain that another group of officials will lose their heads. ”

"Li County Order, you don't want your father to be angry, do you?"

Li Yuan: ...........

"Tell them that they just need to survive the month."

"Yes, sir."

Seeing that Zhu Gaoxuan had already used Zhu Di to suppress him, he could only agree.

Just as he turned around and was about to ask the big families to donate grain.

Zhu Gaoxuan stopped him again.

"By the way, remember to mix the food that was distributed to the victims with some bran and forage."

Hearing this, Li Yuan's eyes widened.

It's too dark, right??

For those of us who normally add more water, at most a little sand.

You're good to go, just change to bran and forage.

This.... This..... This.

For a moment, Li Yuan didn't know what to say.

Is this King Liang here for disaster relief? Isn't it here to make money?

.........
