Lu Zhen was originally going to hand over the matter of buying grain to the people below, but as soon as he sent the people out, Jiang Tao shook his head again and again: "Old Lu, this can't work!" ”

"Where can't you?" Lu Zhen was puzzled.

Jiang Tao: "Lao Lu, you grew up in the capital, and you don't know the people's suffering, so you don't understand." ”

If Jiang Tao said this before, Lu Zhen couldn't refute it, when it comes to the experience of the rivers and lakes, he really can't be compared with Jiang Tao who grew up suppressing bandits, but now it's different, after a few big battles, Lu Zhen's waist is straight, whoever says that he is a pampered little son, he will bite whom!

Seeing Lu Zhen's clenched fists, Jiang Tao hurriedly changed his words: "Old Lu, if you have something to say, don't use it on me if you have the strength, my delicate body and bones that can't take care of myself can't help but toss you." ”

Lu Zhen: I want to beat you even more!

Before Lu Zhen's fist was slammed down, Jiang Tao hurriedly said: "I mean, like the rice shops and other shops that can be seen at a glance on this street, just leave them to the people below, and those remote places with horns and corners will have to be passed by us in person." ”

Lu Zhen's fist was forcibly retracted: "Why?" ”

Jiang Tao grinned: "This is my experience, this Pingshan City has changed hands once, and it is the second time to us, the locals have experience, and the really rich people have long been hiding, and they can't get out of the city, since they can't get out of the city, then hide it, the rich people have more than one or two houses, find an unnoticeable place to live, and all the good things are quietly moved over, as for the original big house, it has long been empty, at most one or two old people are left to watch the gate, even if there are really soldiers breaking in, I couldn't grab anything. ”

Lu Zhen's eyes lit up, and the strange knowledge increased.

"We're not ruffians, she. The big boss has repeatedly ordered that he can't take a stitch from the people, and if there is a real need to make a white slip, he must return it with interest in the future, otherwise it will be dealt with by military law. Lu Zhen said.

Jiang Tao: "I didn't say to grab things, I mean, let the people below buy grain or buy grain, the two of us, go to those remote places to see, maybe you can meet a few rich benevolent people, donate money and donate food, I have heard, our big boss stayed in Pingyao for two days, and took away more than 600,000 taels of silver, such a good thing, maybe we can also meet." ”

Lu Zhen thought about it, He Ran received a donation of 660,000 taels in Pingyao, so what about Pingshan?

Although there is not as much money here as Pingyao, there is also a flat word, 660,000 taels is not, 66,000 is okay, of course, 6,006 he will not refuse, 606 is not impossible.

As soon as they said go, Lu Zhen and Jiang Tao acted separately, each carrying more than a dozen comic books, since they were going to "raise donations", they couldn't go empty-handed.

It's a pity that the idea is very plump and the reality is very skinny.

Lu Zhen visited several families one after another, and there were indeed big families who came to take refuge, but when he saw him, it was like seeing a plague god, and when he heard that he wanted to buy grain, he hurriedly brought out dozens of catties of grain, and it was all polished rice and white flour, and he refused to accept money for anything.

In the end, Lu Zhen said that he wanted to change to coarse grains, and these people's nerves eased up, and they refused to accept the silver, so Lu Zhen had to leave a few comic books.

After walking a few households, a total of more than 200 catties of coarse grain were collected, of which two households donated and the others bought.

Walking into an alley, the alley is deserted, and the first few households are all guarded by the iron general, and they are obviously empty houses.

However, the innermost house was unlocked, and there were still the sounds of children laughing in the yard.

The soldiers stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the door was opened by a man dressed as a subordinate, and his hair was already white.

Seeing that it was a soldier, the man was stunned, and hurriedly laughed: "Master Jun, what are your orders?" ”

At this time, two little dolls, a man and a woman, ran over when they heard the sound: "Shengbo, are there any guests coming?" ”

Sheng Bo hurriedly said: "It's none of your business, you come into the house quickly." ”

Lu Zhen didn't speak, he was looking at this Shengbo.

Although Shengbo has gray hair, there are not many wrinkles on his face, and he should not be very old, at most about forty, and he has a straight back and a strong posture, either as a soldier or as a martial artist.

And his status in this family is obviously just a subordinate.

Not any big family can have such a subordinate.

Lu Zhen's eyes fell on the two children, both of whom were only four or five years old, the boy's face was flushed, but his skin was dark, and there were frostbite on his hands, not like a pampered child from a big family.

But that little girl is completely different from this boy.

White and tender, delicate, although there are no earrings on the ears, but the ears have been pierced, the two little hands are chubby, and there are a few cute little vortices.

Moreover, the two children don't look alike at all, not like they are related by blood.

Of course, it is not accurate to judge whether they are relatives based on their appearance alone, but the image and temperament of these two children are too different.

Lu Zhen was suspicious, but said to Shengbo: "This general is Lu Zhen, the general of the Ran army, please pass on the master of your mansion, can Lu enter the mansion to ask for a bowl of tea?" ”

That's what it means to want to go in and sit.

If it's a normal time, anyone can refuse.

But now, not a single family in the entire Pingshan City dares to turn Lu Zhen away.

Sheng Bo's heart sank, the smile on his face did not change, and he said that the distinguished guest would wait a moment, and then hurriedly went in, and then hurriedly came out, opened the door, and respectfully invited Lu Zhen to enter the mansion.

The yard is not big, but it is well organized, the pomegranate trees that have lost their leaves, and there is a huge goldfish bowl behind the shadow wall, but at this time in winter, the fish tank is frozen and there are no fish.

Lu Zhen sniffed, and he smelled a faint scent of sandalwood.

Two men came out of the hall, clasped their hands into fists, and saluted Lu Zhen.

"Grass people Zhang Ming (grass people Zhang Guang), I have seen General Lu, I didn't know that the general was coming, I missed the welcome, and I asked the general to forgive me."

Lu Zhen looked at the two of them and saw that both of them were very young, neither of them should be more than twenty years old, they were thoughtful and good-looking, and like Shengbo, they both had the temperament of a soldier.

Lu Zhen bowed his head and walked into the hall.

He looked around and saw that the furnishings in the house were simple, but it was a little too simple, and most of the people with a little family background would hang a few calligraphy and paintings on the walls of the hall, whether true or false, but this house was empty and there was nothing.

Looking at the long table in the middle of the hall, there is still the incense ash left, which should have been placed here before, but it was only removed before he came in.

The Zhang brothers invited Lu Zhen to sit up, and he sat down at the bottom, saying a few words of greeting, Sheng Bo brought fragrant tea, Lu Zhen's eyes fell on the little fat hand that came in from the gap in the door curtain, this is the hand of the little girl, and the little girl is outside.
