Chapter 158: Harvesting Rice and Grain

It's going to be dark.

The front yard of the Zhou Mansion.

Zhou Wan finally carefully inspected each bag of grain and confirmed that it was correct.

Liu Bohua had already left, and Zhou Wan completed the final formalities with the person in charge of delivering the food, and asked someone to send the person away from Liangzhou City.

Watching the man leave, Zhou Wan frowned and thumped her sore waist.

At this moment, Zhou Niangzi came over: "Wan'er." ”

Hearing the voice, Zhou Wan couldn't bother beating her waist, and hurriedly turned around: "Lady." ”

Zhou Niangzi nodded, pulled Zhou Wan aside, and told her the plan she had discussed with Jiang Fuyue.

Zhou Wan was originally frowning, but as she listened, an expression of surprise was replaced on her face.

Until Zhou Niangzi finished speaking, Zhou Wan still didn't come to her senses.

After a long time, Zhou Wancai muttered to herself: "It turns out ...... There is still this way to go......"

The people in the capital are really different.

In this matter, she and Zhou Niangzi are thinking about how to let the people have a full meal, relieve hunger a little, and survive until the imperial court comes to relieve the disaster with supplies.

But Jiang Fuyue was already thinking about how to break the game.

"I'll do it myself." Zhou Wan said.

This time I went out, the food purchase was fake, and it was true to spread the news.

And this matter is very important, Zhou Wan really doesn't feel at ease to hand it over to others.

Zhou Niangzi nodded: "I'll tell you, naturally I'm going to leave it to you to do, but it's just ...... It's hard work for you. ”

Zhou Niangzi looked at her distressedly.

Zhou Wan shook her head, and said in a firm tone: "I don't feel hard to do things for the lady, don't worry, I will not let the lady down." ”

β€”β€”

After two days, the tranquility of Liangzhou City was finally broken.

Early in the morning, the prefect of Wu asked people to post notices everywhere in the city, saying that there was not much left in the granary of the government, and that grain should now be collected from the people at a price of 150 yuan a bucket, and returned to the government to be used for relief grain and redistribution.

Although there are fewer people on the street now, as soon as this notice came out, it still spread all over Liangzhou City at a very fast speed, causing an uproar.

The situation in Liangzhou City is different from other places.

The government elsewhere either fought alone and ran out of food, or colluded with the local snakes, only caring about themselves and ignoring the people, while the officials and people in Liangzhou City were united, and the government and the Zhou government had already begun to work together to distribute relief food, so to this day, there are still many people who have surplus food at home.

The notice was posted in the morning, and before it was dark, the people who had surplus grain at home gathered at the door of the government with the little grain left in their homes.

"My lord! I still have three buckets of rice grain at home! ”

"I still have a bucket at home!"

"My lord! I still have three buckets at home, I don't want silver! Let's take this rice and redistribute it! ”

"I don't want it either!"

Governor Wu stood on the steps, looking at the faces below that were young or old, but all of them were equally sincere, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

This scene, this scene!

He didn't dare to think like that in his dreams!

Governor Wu took several deep breaths in a row, and then raised his hand to wipe his face vigorously, so that he did not lose his temper on the spot.

He raised his hand and pressed it twice, and the people below stopped talking and looked up at him.

"You don't have to worry, this afternoon, Miss Zhou Wan has already personally left with the caravan and went to buy grain elsewhere! If it goes well, I'll be back in 10 days! ”

As soon as Governor Wu finished speaking, the people below exclaimed in surprise.

"It has to be the !! of Zhou's house" A young man couldn't help but shout.

Some older ones have begun to wipe away tears: "Yes! Since Mrs. Zhou came to our Liangzhou City, we have never had a hard time this day! ”

Governor Wu patiently waited for the people to discuss for a while, until the discussion gradually stopped, and then he said loudly again: "Today, you all bring rice and grain, it is all righteousness!" You are righteous, we can't be ruthless! Today, if you are willing to receive money, put down the rice, if you are not willing to accept the money, please take the rice and grain back and eat it at home! ”

As soon as his voice fell, the crowd became agitated again.

Among them, opposition voices accounted for more than half.

"This rice grain is given to the government, and the government has to redistribute it to us, if we still collect the money, then what will we become!"

"I can't say that, some people are short of silver at home, but people have also brought the surplus grain from their families, is it not a good person if they receive silver?"

"I didn't mean that! Don't misinterpret me, you kid! ”

There was a lot of noise and shouting below, and it even developed to the point of fighting, but fortunately, the Wu prefect stood tall, noticed the commotion at the first time, and sent officials to persuade and reconcile in time.

"It's all at this time, and there is still strength to fight! It seems that the government has raised you hairy boys too well! A man gritted his teeth, and his face hated iron but not steel.

After a while of more noise, everyone lined up according to the rules, registered the amount of food, and each received the money and went home.

The grand occasion in front of the yamen of the mansion was transmitted to the Zhou Mansion, and Jiang Fuyue was quite surprised.

"Such a strange scene, the slave maid has never seen it in the book a few times!" Gu Yu sighed.

With such concerted efforts, if this hadn't really happened in front of him, Gu Yu would still think he was dreaming!

Jiang Fuyue also nodded.

"It's not surprising," Zhou Niangzi sat and drank tea on the side, "This Wu prefect is a very good person, when I first came, this Liangzhou City was actually under Liu Bohua's control, and the prefect was in collusion with Liu Bohua, completely ignoring the life and death of the people in the city, and I was also very difficult, that is, after this Wu prefect took office, the situation improved." ”

The people in the city who have lived a hard life will naturally cherish the good life they have now, and they will also support the people who brought them a good life.

It's all human nature!

β€”β€”

At that time, Zhou Wan took the people out of the city without stopping, and they drove for two days and two nights before finally arriving at the destination of their trip.

Danseong.

The location of Dancheng extends in all directions, and it is much more prosperous than the area around Liangzhou City.

There were a large number of people in their group, and they carried nearly ten chariots, which can be described as a huge formation, so as soon as they entered the city, this gray-faced but huge appearance attracted the attention of many people.

Ignoring the opinions of others, they first found an inn, and after eating and drinking, before it was dark, they went back to their rooms and slept peacefully for the first time in a few days.

Early the next morning, when there were the most people in the downtown area, Zhou Wan led people directly to block the street, and several wagons were swinging along the road, full of momentum.

"Harvest the rice! Harvest rice and grainβ€”β€”! A strong man pulled his throat and used enough strength to attract people from all over the world to come and watch, "Eighty dollars a bucket!" Harvest rice and grain! ”
