Chapter 233:

If the two big households went down to arrange for the examination, they deliberately pretended to be very difficult. They wished to scrape the bottom of their grain silo, and only found 20,000 stone grains.
The car was already loaded outside, and Xue Tingyan asked people to bring in pen and paper and write a pen and ink with one swipe.
"The official knows that it is taking advantage of you, but it is urgent and a last resort. If you do n’t want these two silver coins, you can use the pen and ink in exchange for the same food as Master Chen and the two silver coins. Then Shangjing, where your majesty, the officer will explain. "
What is this for? Want to prove that you are not buying or selling?
But in any case, Xue Tingyan was satisfied with the food, and the two big households not only collected the money, but also received a copy of the calligraphy.
Xue Tingyan took the food with the cheering victims and went on.
...
In this way, Xue Tingyan and his party finally entered Henan.
They are like a locust crossing the road, and they will not let go when the county passes through the county, and the big locals are all complaining. If Fucheng can move away, I hope to move away quickly, or to stay away from this group of people.
Of course, this is all extravagant hope.
Because Xue Tingyan didn't ask for much food, he threatened his life. Many big households and magistrates took out the food and sent it out based on the mentality of sending the plague.
Fortunately, Xue Tingyan also kept his promise, but he didn't do anything that he didn't want to go after taking the food.
In fact, everyone has a certain bottom line. Xue Tingyan cleverly did not cross the bottom line. The numbers he said are all painful, but they should not be given without giving life.
In fact, there is no shortage of food along the way, but outsiders do not know about it. Every time after receiving the food, Xue Tingyan will leave half, and the other half will send the food to the front secretly, and when there is no more food, they will take the victims to the big households.
Because the team is too large to cover people's eyes and ears, no one has yet discovered this.
As for the Beijing side, some people have long received the news that Xue Tingyan bought and sold, but no one dared to say that they pretended not to know.
What to say? What is impeachment?
Relief is ahead, what about buying strong and selling you? People do n’t give you money! I'm really anxious. Emperor Jiacheng of the poisonous tongue is enough to block your words.
Everyone knows that this is an errand for an offended person. Otherwise, changing to peacetime, this disaster relief position has long made people mad.
After entering Henan, the pedestrian Xue Tingyan went into batches, and Wang Lianghua and Ji Chunde were both sent out.
Not only brought soldiers and food, but also many victims.
Nowadays, these disaster victims have a good life. Although they still can't get enough food, at least they don't have to worry about starvation and sickness. The only thing they have to do every day is to follow the large team and go to the city gate without food. Naturally There is food falling from the sky.
It shouldn't be too beautiful.
In fact, by now, almost everyone knows what adult Chincha is doing.
Out of a sense of sympathy for the same disease, but also to save oneself and save others, it is also happy to see those large households and corrupt officials eating deflated. These victims are willing to do this work, even if this way is not the way to return to their hometown.
They are willing to follow the adults and just slap the corrupt officials to rob big households. In fact, it is not a robbery. They gave money, they are blessing, purpose, relief, disaster.
The victims lived a lifetime, only to find that the corrupt officials and big households could deal with it in this way, but they admired the eminent servants.
In particular, the adults who are sent to love the people, are approachable, have always lived with the victims, and their reputation has spread among the victims, and through the mouth of the victims, they spread to more people.
The old man named Xue, who was the sensational surname, was the No. 1 champion who made a sensation in the world. Six years ago, he benefited many people in the coastal area. The people along the coast lived prosperously.
The victims don't say these words. They don't know one big character. Where can they say this?
They would only say to everyone that Master Xue is a good official, a great good official.
They will only support each other, such as dictates, where to play and where to play, absolutely unambiguous!
As Xue Tingyan said, the people at the bottom are the most lovely people for the upper class. Their demand is not high, but it is enough to fill their stomachs.
With such a group of people in hand, Xue Tingyan is not afraid that this disaster relief cannot be completed.
Poke the sky and poke it, anyway, it will have to break sooner or later.
Personality charm is displayed here, even if Wang Lianghua and Ji Chunde are not willing to say much.
It was nothing more than being elevated too high, nothing more than these victims, and even their soldiers and soldiers absolutely supported Xue Tingyan.
Since then, the soldiers have been divided into three groups and spread out.
Entering Henan is the real purgatory.
Ten rooms and nine empty spaces, either died or ran away. A large number of disaster victims gathered outside each prefecture, but the government had no food to put.
According to the city's resistance, the victims are not allowed to enter the city, and some soft-hearted officials put the victims into the city, but they cannot mediate the conflict between the victims and the local people.
However, such officials are rare, because once the city is chaotic, it is the responsibility of the local officials.
Heavily beheaded, lightly lost officials.
This is the real reason why the local officials are reluctant to let the victims into the city.
This is true of Ci County, where Xue Tingyan and his party passed by.
The county was in disarray, not only was the position closed, but the county government was also hit by the mob. The local magistrate was so scared that he hid in a residential house, and he dared not show up. He still saw the banner of the emperor, and then came out of hiding.
A lot of age, crying heartbroken, the grievances can hardly be said.
He is kind and unbearable. Why is he so betrayed by such kindness?
Who may complain?
No one can complain, the victims want to live, and the people want to live.
Such officials are stupid and stupid, at least the heart is good, but unfortunately, the wrong way is done.
Xue Tingyan came forward to help reorganize the county government, leaving disaster relief instructions and some food, and leaving these victims hundreds of people, so he took a large team away.
With the help of these victims, at least the following will not be too messy, and in accordance with his instructions, this batch of food is enough to temporarily stabilize the county.
Of course, if we want to really settle down, there must be enough food for these victims to receive the autumn harvest. When there is no disaster at that time, we can collect a batch of food.
There are nine prefectures in Henan. Xue Tingyan cannot come to every prefecture. He can only go to Kaifeng first and look at the local situation.
Kaifeng was temporarily stable, and the magistrate could see some regulations.
Although the situation is equally bad, but not so hungry, Xue Tingyan did not go to Fucheng, but went to Kaifeng Guangji Warehouse.
This Guangji warehouse is located next to the Yellow River, with high terrain and convenient transportation. It is one of the largest granaries in Henan.
It is under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture.
Xue Tingyan took the people first and waited for the place. The unprepared grain officer was shocked.
Although he pretended to calm down and invited Xue Tingyan and his party into it, the surprise he had shown before had already leaked his background.
Xue Tingyan was invited to sit down and drink tea.
This grain official is nothing more than an eight-ranking official, and of course only has a standing company.
The two of you came and went, most of them asked Xue Tingyan, and the food officer answered.
Talking, this grain officer named Wei Dayong sighed.
Complaining about the suffering of the local people in Henan, either drought or waterlogging, and finally the imperial court embarked heavily on embankments in the past two years.
Xue Tingyan also said a few words with him.
After finishing speaking, Xue Tingyan didn't delay to get to the point, and asked how much grain can still be transferred in the silo.
Wei Dayong replied, no food can be adjusted, and all the food that can be adjusted is transferred to various counties, otherwise it will not be like this.
Xue Tingyan nodded slightly, and said, "Then the recipe for the corresponding grain adjustment is brought to the officer to see. The officer was ordered to relief the disaster, and only one person can help the whole province. Naturally, it is judged according to the grains put down in various places , Make up for the missing. "
"This--"
"What's the problem?" Xue Tingyan asked curiously.
Wei Dayong wiped his sweat and shook his head again and again: "Since there is no embarrassment, Xiaguan will go down to prepare and invite adults to sit down. Xiaguan will let people prepare some meals. The adults should work hard and take a good rest. . "
This Xue Tingyan did not refuse, but Wei Dayong went down.
Soon, someone brought food and wine.
There is chicken, duck and fish meat, which is not rich.
There were two hundred households with Xue Tingyan.
One is Jin Yiwei, named Wei Yunjie. He is in his forties and has a beard of hair. It looks ordinary, but the cold light between the eyes is not ordinary.
The other is from Beijing Daying, called Tao Jianxin, who is called Tao Heixiu. People are as strong as their name, as big as a big buffalo.
After the dishes were ready, someone invited the three of them to use wine and vegetables.
The people who are traveling outside have their own food and wine.
Seeing that everyone was going down, Tao Heiniiu scolded: "His grandmother said that he had no food and ate better than us."
Xue Tingyan smiled and said, holding the wine glass: "Since it is known that something is abnormal, there must be something wrong."
Wei Yunjie took the hip flask, sniffed it at the tip of his nose, and said with a look of solidity: "Adult, this medicine has a lot of sweat."
Tao Heixiu was surprised, and immediately violently patted the table, but Wei Yunjie held his hand.
Don't look at his immense power, Wei Yunjie looks like a white-faced scholar. After being clamped, he can't move. Seeing him calm down, Wei Yunjie let go.
"They dare."
Xue Tingyan grabbed the glass and took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands: "Why don't you dare to die yourself? It's better to die than others. If you can gamble, no one will give up."
"Then they want?"
"Don't say this first, tell people outside that you don't get the trick."
Needless to say, Xue Tingyan said that Wei Yunjie had already done it.
I don't know if Jinyiwei had any special contact methods, and I didn't see him doing anything, just stood in front of the window and knocked, and then returned to the table.
Except for the wine, the food was not taken, and the three had a big meal.
In another yard, Wei Dayong walked back and forth with great anxiety.
When he walked in from outside, a servant, Wei Dayong hurriedly walked over and asked, "Did the food be delivered? Did they use it?"
The concubine had a long, thin face, squinting his eyes, and at first glance it was trivial.
He nodded and smiled again and again: "Adult, you can rest assured of small affairs, now wait for them to sleep."
Wei Dayong sighed with relief and looked at the sky: "I have to wait now. I hope Master Wu's letter will arrive earlier, and we can have a charter, otherwise ...
At this time, there was another rush of footsteps rushing in and a person hurried in.
Wei Dayong stepped forward and took the letter from the other party and opened it.
After reading it, his face was ugly and scary, and after a long time, he clenched his hands, as if he had made a decision.
