Although Zhang Jingui got up, he didn't dare to raise his head, bowed his head and bent over and arched his hands and said to Liu Yu: "Lord Huiqincha, the slave came here today to donate food to the adult."

The slave's family has a slight income, and this year, our entire Henan has suffered a natural disaster, and the people have fled in all directions, and selling a few women abounds.

It's the same in Lingbei, in recent months, the county has ordered adults to lose weight because of the disaster. When the slave saw it, he was anxious in his eyes and hurt in his heart.

In order to alleviate the disaster, our Zhang family is willing to donate 50,000 denier of food to give porridge to the victims. ”

Liu Yu nodded and said, "You have a heart." On behalf of the vast number of victims, Ben Qincha would like to thank you and your Zhang family!

If your Zhang family still has surplus grain, Ben Qincha is willing to buy some more grain from you at a price higher than the market price. ”

"This ......"

"What's the matter? Is it embarrassing? Or don't you have much food left at home?"

"Lord Huiqincha, there is indeed some surplus food in the slave's family. But these grains are owned by the entire Zhang family, and although the slave is the head of the family, he still has to discuss with the elders of the clan to sell this grain during this famine. ”

Zhang Jingui's voice became smaller and smaller, and there were a few beads of sweat on his forehead. He was afraid that if he didn't say it well, it would bring disaster to the family.

Liu Yu also knew that this matter made him a little embarrassed, so he donated 50,000 loads of grain, and now he wants others to sell grain again.

People also have to keep some food for themselves, and it is impossible for them to sell it for silver.

Liu Yu understood Zhang Jingui's embarrassment, so he didn't ask for it. But he told him that if there was a surplus to sell, he should give priority to selling it to the government. You can go back and talk to your people.

Zhang Jingui felt a lot more relieved after listening to Liu Yu's words, but fortunately, Qin Cha did not blame him, but just asked him to persuade the elders in the family well, hoping to persuade them to sell grain.

Liu Yu asked him to go back first, transport the donated grain first, and sell the rest to see the result of their discussion.

After Zhang Jingui left, Fan Jinwen and others stepped forward to congratulate Liu Yu and said, "Congratulations to your Excellency for getting another 50,000 quintals of grain, which can slightly alleviate the current situation of food shortage." ”

After congratulating him, the county commander Wu Zhao stepped forward again and said, "My lord, what you said about buying grain is true? How can you have so much money to pay the bill?"

"Don't worry. When Ben Qin left Beijing, the emperor had already asked Lord Shen, the silver grain official, to bring 500,000 taels of disaster relief silver in advance. We can pay with the money. ”

"Lord Qincha, the lower officials heard that the silver was lost, and even Lord Shen, who escorted the disaster relief silver, was killed, and the murderer has not been found until now, and the whereabouts of the silver are unknown. ”

"Wuxian Order, rest assured! Ben Qin's statement that he would give the silver was not casually said, and he promised to hand over a penny of the silver to these people who sold grain to the government. ”

"Yes, please forgive your sins, the lower officials should not suspect your lordship. Wu Zhao knelt down on his knees and pleaded guilty to Liu Yu.

Liu Yu waved his hand at him and said, "Wuxian Ling, hurry up! You are a little worried that Ben Qin will not blame you."

Those who are officials should be like the Wuxian Order, and always put the interests of the people in mind. ”

Wu Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and replied modestly: "Lord Qincha praises falsely!"

The others in the lobby also stepped forward and said, "Listen to your teachings!"

Liu Yu waved at everyone and told them to get up. Then he said to Wu Zhao: "You go and get busy first! The Zhang family will send grain over in a while, and you will find someone to receive it in the granary."

When the time comes, whether it is soup soup or distribution to the people, you can arrange it yourself.

If anyone comes to donate food, you will receive it. When the disaster is over, the Benchin will reward the families who donated food.

As for what items will be rewarded, it will be kept secret for the time being, and you can say these things to the rich families in Lingbei. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Liu Yu stayed in the county government for a while, and then led people to push food to the temporary residence of the victims outside the city.

This time, because the Zhang family agreed to donate grain, Liu Yu divided two carts from the grain they brought, and went to the outside of the city to cook porridge for the victims with grain, cauldrons, buckets, etc.

Fan Jinwen and the guards who came with him followed, and Wu Zhao also assigned a few officials to follow and fight.

When he arrived at the gathering point outside the city, Liu Yu was stunned. It was the first time she had encountered such a miserable scene.

A lot of the victims gathered together, and they were divided into factions.

Some of them are a faction in one or two villages, and most of them are for self-protection to prevent people from robbing them of their food, women and children.

These need to be protected by adult strong men, so several acquaintances of the village chiefs discussed forming a group, protecting the women, children and food in the middle.

There is also a group of young strong men who form a faction, most of these are idlers in the village, who are messing around.

They were driven out by the people in the village, and simply formed gangs to steal food from everyone at two ends in three days, and sometimes even went to rob children and people for food.

When Liu Yu arrived with people pushing the grain cart, he saw that the victims were lying on the ground weakly. Only a few people were cooking something in the pot.

When the victims saw the officials of the county government pushing the cart over, they just looked up and lay back down.

They knew that there was no grain in the whole of Lingbei County, and they didn't know what was on the cart pushed by the officials.

When the officials saw that the victims did not salute when they saw Lord Chincha, they were a little apprehensive, and they were afraid that Lord Chincha would blame him.

So one of the officials cried out, "Get up, get up." Lord Chincha has brought food to everyone, so why don't you get up quickly and thank Lord Chincha. ”

Originally, the victims who were lying on the ground waiting to die, when they heard the officials say that there was food, all got up from the ground and crowded the grain carts.

The officials hurriedly drove them away with whips, and then said loudly: "Don't squeeze, come out and cook a few people, come over and cook porridge."

Everyone has it, if someone is unruly and wants to grab food, don't blame the master for being ruthless. ”

The victims were relieved to hear that everyone had it. But there were still people who wanted to come forward to see if there was really food, and they were taken away by the whip of the officials.

Among the victims, there were several elderly and prestigious old men who heard the words of the officials.

Busy with a few women who could cook from their own team and three strong men, the patriarch came forward to Fan Jinwen and said, "A few masters, the little old man is the patriarch of the Gan family.

The Gan family volunteered to send a few women and strong men to the old man to help him and obey the old man's arrangement. ”

As he spoke, the patriarch surnamed Gan led several people behind him to Fan Jinwen and asked him to choose.

Liu Yu saw that the patriarch of the Gan family recognized Fan Jinwen as a messenger, and did not speak, but introduced Fan Jinwen to him, and everyone was handed over to Fan Jinwen to arrange.

She herself quietly observed the victims around her, and Liu Yu found that the few people brought by the Gan family patriarch were hungry and thin, but they were not sick, and their mental condition was not bad.

It seems that the patriarch of the Gan family has used a lot of brains in order to keep the clansmen.

Liu Yu was busy delivering food and porridge to the victims, while the White Lotus Sect was discussing how to cause the victims to riot and how to assassinate Qin Cha to deal a blow to the imperial court.

In an old mansion in Gwangju Fuseong, the main hall was full of people at this time, and the silver-masked man who had fought with Yoo Yu before was impressively listed.
