Chapter 54: Who is digging the corner of Lao Tzu's wall

Not much.

A line of men with big shoulders and round waists.

followed Shi Hu into the main hall of the mansion.

Seeing Wu Huanian, everyone bowed down and saluted: "I'll wait to see my lord!" ”

"Excuse me."

"It's all your own people, so you don't need to be so polite."

Wu Huanian said with a smile: "Have you brought everything?" ”

"Brought."

A man of about thirty-five or sixteen stepped out of the ranks.

"Do as your lord commands."

"We brought a total of 2,000 catties of that object this time."

The man took out a note from his cuff and handed it to Wu Huanian: "This is a specific eye, please check ...... adult"

Wu Huanian took a note, lowered his head and swept his eyes, and a touch of flesh pain flashed on his face.

"If it weren't for the last resort."

"I really don't want to use something so valuable."

Hear this.

Several people in the venue were also silent.

In their impression, whenever this thing is taken out, something big must happen.

Wu Huanian set his eyes on the man's body: "Sixth son, how about you be the commander-in-chief?" ”

"Whatever the adults say, the six sons will do."

Liuzi said happily: "Wasn't it all like this before. ”

"Don't be hippie with me."

Wu Huanian said with a serious face: "I'm telling you something serious!" ”

The Huai River is a famous harmful river in history.

Throughout the ages, I don't know how many disasters have been brought to this land.

Now the Yellow River flows into the sea through the Huai River, and once the backflow occurs, the entire Henan Province will suffer.

At that time, the number of people who will suffer from the disaster will reach an astronomical number.

And how can Wolong County, which is in Henan Province, be spared?

Seeing that Wu Huanian was so serious, the sixth son also put away his smile and solemnly arched his hand: "My lord, even if you command, the sixth son must write it down." ”

"Five days."

Wu Huanian stretched out five fingers and said, "I'll give you five days at most." ”

"I don't care what method you use, even if you use your hands to plan, I don't care about you."

"But in five days, I'm going to see twenty impoundment rivers."

Wu Huanian looked at Liuzi and asked, "Do you have any objections?" ”

"Nope!"

Liuzi didn't want to think about it.

Wu Huanian narrowed his eyes and said, "Then what if these twenty water storage rivers can't be opened in five days?" ”

"If you can't open it."

"The lord cut off the head of the six sons."

Liuzi patted his chest and said.

"Good!"

"That's what you said."

Wu Huanian pointed at the sixth son, and then said, "Next, I will order officials from all over the country to cooperate with your actions." ”

"Tell them what you need."

"And I have only one request for you, and that is to open the river."

"If there is a mountain in the way, I will level the mountain, and if there is a ditch in the way, I will use this dog as a water storage river."

"All in all, in a word, dig a water storage river, let's do whatever it takes!"

Speaking of this, Wu Huanian's gaze swept over the faces of everyone in the audience, and asked loudly, "Do you understand?" ”

"Understood!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Wu Huanian nodded.

He then turned his head and glanced at Liuzi and said, "Take everyone down to prepare, and set off in the afternoon." ”

"Yes!"

Time is running out now.

Wu Huanian didn't have time to be polite to them.

And wait until the afternoon.

Under the command of the sixth son, everyone from Wolong County also divided their teams.

After the inventory of the supplies, there was an order to set off.

The group went straight to the south gate.

Looking at the long line, Wu Huanian's eyes were gloomy, and he muttered: "The success or failure of the matter depends on the ...... of this incident."

……

Early in the morning.

As usual, Wu Huanian woke up and went to the main hall of the government to listen to several inspectors report on the disaster situation in various places.

"The flood has affected many places in the eastern part of South Mountain Province, and more than 300,000 people have been displaced."

A patrol officer in his mid-forties reported: "Now about 100,000 victims have gathered under the city of Taizhou, which has caused the price of grain to soar, and even ordinary corn now costs 80 wen a bucket." ”

"What?"

Wu Huanian frowned and said, "Aren't there many new grain numbers in the city?" ”

The first thing he did when he came to Shannan Province was to gather grain merchants from all over the country to come and open a grain number.

And his purpose is to form an involution in the grain industry, and then impact the local food price.

It's only been a few days now, and food prices have risen again?

The inspector replied: "Yes, there are many of them, but because there are too many people stockpiling grain recently, many grain numbers have been sold out of stock, and they have been sold out, and the price of grain has risen again." ”

Wu Huanian was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled.

"I see."

"Feelings are someone digging into the corners of the wall in secret......"

The grain merchant's affairs were calculated by Wu Hua a long time ago, and there would be no mistakes.

But now there is still a situation where the grain is sold out.

That means that there are people here who are deliberately stockpiling food to make a fortune.

Wu Huanian thought for a while and said, "How much grain is in our warehouse?" ”

"Uh......"

The inspector thought for a moment and said, "There are probably 20,000 stones." ”

Speaking of which.

The inspector seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said, "My lord, it is not a wise move to open a warehouse and release grain at this time." ”

20,000 stones, that is, 2,400,000 catties, 1,200 tons.

At first glance, this number sounds scary, a lot and scary, but that is also when there are not too many people.

According to the calculation that each person consumes two catties of grain per day, the consumption of 100,000 people a day is 200,000 catties.

And 2.4 million catties of grain is only enough for 100,000 people to eat for 12 days.

If the number of victims continues to increase, and Shannan Province runs out of grain reserves, then something will happen.

"It's unnecessary."

"I'm not that stupid yet."

Wu Huanian raised his eyes and looked at the inspector and said: "Pass the order, except for Taizhou and other disaster-stricken counties, the rest of the counties must strictly control the price of grain, and the price of each bucket of corn must not exceed 20 Wen, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!" ”

The Inspector just thought so.

But when I think about it, I feel that something is wrong.

He looked up at Wu Huanian and asked suspiciously, "My lord, are you mistaken?" According to common sense, isn't it right to suppress the price of food in the affected areas at this time, so that the price of food will not skyrocket and the people will not be able to afford to eat? ”

"Do what I say."

Wu Huanian raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Where is so much nonsense?" ”

As soon as this statement came out.

Shi Hu's gaze also looked towards the inspector.

Although the inspector was not beaten that day, he was present.

At this moment, seeing Shi Hu's eyes locked on him, he was also taken aback.

"Yes, yes."

"The lower officials will arrange it, and this will go to ......"

The inspector didn't dare to say anything more, turned around and ran.

After sending the other inspectors away.

Wu Huanian stood up, walked to Shi Hu's side, and said with a serious expression: "Go, go out with me to see if that bastard is digging Lao Tzu's corner!" ”
