"Aren't they hungry for food?" The king of the city had a strange feeling when he heard that the task he had entrusted was neither a success nor a failure, but that it was 'not accepted'. "Did you say what the reason was?" or was it because our bid was too low, or was there something else going on?"www.biquge.info

Ma Dingwen, the head of the Ma family, shook his head, "I didn't mention anything, I just didn't want to accept the task, but they brought us a message for free, and my subordinates also felt that the value of this information was extremely high."

The king of the city was said by Dingwen, and he was instantly interested, "What news makes Mr. Ma think so highly?"

Ma Dingwen smiled gloomily, "We don't need to catch the big fish ourselves, we are swimming back by ourselves!"

When the king of the city heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Okay, very good! This doesn't need to be done by the lonely city, and it also saves the handle, Mr. Ma, this time you must not miss again."

Ma Dingwen bowed, "Yes, my subordinates will go down and prepare"

On the other side, on the border between Liangzhou and Sili, a large number of people walked to the edge of Liangzhou, and there were people on both sides of the official road, so Shaoyuan and they drove the carriage in the middle, and they did not drive very fast. If they had been in the south more than half a month ago, their convoy would not have dared to take the official road so swaggeringly, otherwise people would come up to grab grain at any time.

However, this group of people is different, they were originally the people of Liangzhou, originally because of the drought fled to Si Li, after Si Li received relief, I heard that the imperial court's grain team has arrived in Liangzhou for disaster relief, and saw that Si Li has begun to rain, so everyone began to return to Liangzhou in groups to continue to live, interested in rushing back now, and there is still time to plant a season of food. Therefore, although there are many people, everyone already has food in their hands and is not panicked.

Shaoyuan looked at the people around him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "It's also a good thing that the people have returned to their hometowns."

And the prince asked, "Senior brother, I see that in Liangzhou, a batch of grain and grass will be transported over every one or two years, and it stands to reason that there will not be so many displaced people in Liangzhou."

Shaoyuan shook his head, "Brother Huang, Liangzhou's products are not abundant, and there are often horse thieves and foreign clans that disturb the lives of the people, so the surplus food in the people's homes is not abundant."

The prince continued to ask, "Then the government will not open a warehouse for relief after receiving the official grain?"

Shaoyuan smiled bitterly, "Brother Huang, if you ask this question, I don't think it's appropriate to say it from my mouth, if there is a post station in front, when we get to the post station, let's find a person to answer you, okay?"

Dugu Lin also wondered, "Oh, Shaoyuan, you still sold Guanzi, what is the mystery?"

When he arrived at the post station, the prince jumped off his horse and found an old man eating steamed buns on the edge of the wall.

The old man nodded, "Exactly, Childe, is there something wrong?"

The prince nodded, "I want to ask, does the Liangzhou government have a warehouse for disaster relief?"

The old man asked rhetorically, "Why does the government want to open a warehouse for disaster relief?"

The prince asked, "The people are in trouble, and they are affected by the drought, shouldn't the government help them?"

The old man smiled, "That son must not be a person from Liangzhou, the grain of Liangzhou is related to the protection of the capital of the Western Regions, the safety of the border army of Liangzhou, how can it be moved, if the people of Liangzhou can't live, they can still leave their hometown and flee to Sili, if they open a warehouse rashly, minus the food of the border army, and invade by foreign races, do you want those soldiers who usually defend our homes and defend the country to fight with them hungry?

When the prince heard this, his heart sank, and he never thought that an ordinary old man could see this issue so thoroughly and in such a high realm. The prince gave his hand to "the old man is educated, and he is taught below"

The prince returned to the four of them, his face was already solemn, "This time out, it is really an increase in experience, if you don't see it with your own eyes, you don't know what the current situation of this country is, no wonder my father treats the people well, today's Han Dynasty is not only my Liu family, but also the rivers and mountains of all the people in the world, the rivers and mountains are big, and the people are so many that we need to protect them with our hearts." ”

The princess paused for a moment, "Brother Huang, what did you say to that old man?"

Xiaoyue and Dugu Lin are both curious babies, so the prince retold their conversation about the right talent, the princess and Dugu Lin both sighed, life in the border is not easy, but the people still love their army so much and believe in their army.

The prince thought for a while, "The southern army and the northern army stationed in Sili are only about 40,000 people in total, and there is a large list of official positions, I can't remember it clearly, if the fourth brother is here, he will definitely know"

Shaoyuan and Dugu Lin were also stunned, "Ah Pet will know?"

The prince nodded, "Yes, the little fourth brother is familiar, and the border army is also familiar with it, after all, most of the generals of the border army in Sanzhou are brought out by the old department of the Marquis of Dingyuan."

Dugu Lin also reacted, "I forgot that Ah Pet was born in a family of generals, and it is not surprising to know this, but I also wonder why no one in the Gao family has ever been out until now."

(Gao Pet, who is far away in Luoyang, sneezes angrily, is someone whispering about me behind my back?)

The prince continued to ask, "Senior brother, have you also participated in the border army?"

Shaoyuan shook his head, "No, although there are many people in our village, it is precisely the front line of foreign invasion, so almost all of our village are exempt from forced labor and taxes" Then Shaoyuan looked into the distance, "The drought in the north is so serious this year, I don't know what the movements of the foreigners are"

Dugu Lin asked, "Shaoyuan, is the foreign invasion really so serious?"

Shaoyuan nodded, but shook his head again, "I can't tell, because some of them are horse thieves, and horse thieves and aliens are mixed together, and it is not easy to distinguish for a while."

The princess asked, "Senior brother, who else is in your family?"

Shao Yuan stopped, feeling his expression darkened, and just as he was about to answer, suddenly Xiao Yue stretched out his hand and clasped his ten fingers with Shao Yuan, Shao Yuan's originally gloomy eyes looked at Xiao Yue, and he regained his spirit. said indifferently, "I have been dependent on my master for eighteen years, just half a year ago, my master was seriously injured and died, and I went south, and at this moment, there is still Xiaoyue at home." ”

The princess covered her mouth and said apologetically, "It's me who lost my words, senior brother, don't blame"

Shaoyuan shook his head, "The dead are gone, and the princess is also an unintentional mistake"

Dugu Lin looked at the time and the surrounding crowd and said, "We also have to hurry up and get on the road, after all, there are so many displaced people on the road, it is not safe to spend the night in the wilderness at night, let's rush to the county seat of Liangzhou before dark to spend the night."

The other four people also thought so, so they turned over and got on the horse and headed for Liangzhou.

Entering the boundary of Liangzhou, people gradually got up less, and most of the people had already walked their own paths back to their hometowns, and there were fewer people, so they could naturally move forward at full speed. Finally, before dark, the group rushed to Ji County in Tianshui County.

"Boss, four best rooms, and then a box for eating, the best meal" Dugu Lin is still the first to arrange, and Shaoyuan is responsible for taking care of the carriage.

Just as the boss smiled and walked into the kitchen to arrange the meal, a white dove suddenly took off from the backyard and flew north.
