Chapter 72 Who can resist the temptation of studying textbooks?

"I have done everything I can, even against my own conscience, but now I am still at the end of my rope. I hate,,"

His tone and attitude suddenly changed, and there was a sharp murderous look in his eyebrows.

"I really want to lead troops and ransack those people's homes and cut open their hearts to see if they are evil, but I can't. I don't know what the consequences will be if I offend Tiandian, because I don't dare to gamble. I am not alone.

I have 100,000 soldiers under me, and nearly a million people behind me."

That's why he hates it so much.

I hate my own incompetence. I am so sanctimonious that for a bullshit reason, I would cause a natural disaster and kill so many people.

Yanyan could feel his hatred and helplessness. It could be said that not even Vice General Han felt such sadness.

She once said that only one of rights, status, money, and responsibilities is enough.

I understood, but Yanyan didn't take the initiative to talk to her.

Lu You calmed down for a while and smiled apologetically at her, "Sorry, I'm a little out of sorts."

Yanyan shook her head and said it didn't matter.

Lu You also expected her reaction. He didn't intend to beat around the bush and stated his plan directly.

"Miss Yan, originally I had only two choices, either to be led by them, or to give up my life and die with them."

Yanyan didn't know whether they were merchants or people from the branch palace mentioned here.

However, she guessed that Lu You killed the people in the branch hall to scare the merchants in Jinchuan and make them more likely to voluntarily hand over the food.

He continued, "Now there is a third way. I want to know if this way can work?"

As he spoke, he looked at Yanyan with a sincere look and a hint of hope.

Yanyan blinked and said that she didn't know anything and that I was just an ordinary citizen.

Lu You suddenly laughed, feeling that he was overthinking, how could an ordinary peasant woman know this, so he went straight to the point.

"Ms. Yan, may I know who you bought these foods from?"

Yanyan looked embarrassed, "It's not that I don't want to say it, but I don't know what it is."

Really? Lu You didn't say whether he believed it or not, but asked the next question.

"I wonder how much food you can get?"

"In principle, as long as I have money and the food box is big enough, I can buy a lot of food."

He was not satisfied with this answer, "How much is a lot? Ten thousand bags of dumplings, or twenty thousand bags of steamed buns?"

Yanyan gestured toward the disaster area, "Everyone can eat."

Lu You's breathing suddenly became heavier and he looked at her with wide eyes, wanting to know if she was joking.

"That's 900,000 people."

Yanyan nodded, "I know, as long as you have money and a box for food."

Lu You's eyes moved, and the other party carried the box twice, which made him a little puzzled.

"Ms. Yan, can the food you buy only be placed in boxes?"

"Yes, the other party asked me to designate a container for food, and I chose the box."

"Is there a size limit on the box?"

"No, but for the number of people we have, one box is enough." See, I am just a country peasant woman. I only want to feed two hundred people.

Lu You pondered for a moment and asked, "Miss Yan, if I want to ask you to help buy food, is it okay? I will pay you."

Yanyan immediately agreed readily, "Yes, but I have conditions."

Just make a request, "You say."

"First, the box must be guarded by the person I designate. If you want to take the food, they must agree and register."

This step was not directed at the government. After all, she planned to give this person a membership card, so that he would not need the box in the future.

She was preparing to do business with those city people. She would first improve the status of Daniu and Mo Niang, and at the same time, downplay herself so that no one would notice.

Lu You agreed, "No problem, but I hope they won't make things difficult for us. After all, there are so many victims in need of food."

"Don't worry, we are also victims of the disaster and know the suffering of the victims. Secondly, about 200 of us are going to the city. You can help arrange a place to live."

"Yes, no problem." These conditions further prove that she is a person who values ​​affection and justice, and it is reassuring to deal with such a person.

"Then I have no conditions, but how much benefits do you plan to give me?" Yanyan asked with wide eyes.

Lu You couldn't answer for a while.

"Miss Yan, please tell me the price of the things you bought first."

"The things I can buy include dumplings and steamed buns, each costing 12 yuan per bag,"

"How many?"

Lu You's voice suddenly rose and he screamed, directly interrupting her words.

Yanyan was shocked. Could it be that her price was too high? It was only a 20% increase. How could she scare him like this?

"Well, I didn't set the price."

Supermarket: That’s a 20% increase.

"If you don't want to buy it because it's expensive, that's okay."

Supermarket: If you don’t believe me, you have been secretly planning this for a long time.

Lu You quickly explained, "No, no, I don't think it's expensive, I think it's too cheap."

He wiped his face, and his mood at this time was beyond description. A bag of dumplings only cost 12 copper coins? It was incredible.

"Is it really God who pities the common people?"

How else to explain that a transaction with an unknown person can be so cheap?

As long as you don't regret it, it's fine, Yanyan continued to introduce.

"Ice cream is 6 cents each, and snacks are 36 cents per box. There are ten kinds of snacks in it. They are quite big. One person can be full after eating two pieces. Snow cakes... these are the only ones. Do you still buy them?"

"Buy, definitely buy."

There is no one that costs more than a hundred pennies, so a fool would not buy it if it is so cheap.

Nowadays, rice has increased to 2 taels of silver per liter, which is enough for a few people. If you use it to buy snow cakes, you can buy more than 80 bags. If there are really 40 small pieces in it, it will be enough for at least 200 people.

If you change it to dumplings, you can exchange for nearly 170 bags, which can feed at least 500 people.

This is where the difference comes out.

That's why he felt that God sent Yanyan to save the people.

"General Lu, how much benefit do you plan to give me?"

Yanyan behaves like a philistine peasant woman without such great ambitions and responsibilities.

Lu You looked at her and shook his head slightly, "Miss Yan, don't you know how amazing your abilities are?"

If this ability is reported, there will definitely be no problem in being granted the title of Marquis, and it will be a proper honor to the ancestors.

Unsurprisingly, the Yan family will become prosperous and rise directly across the social hierarchy to become a new rich. She herself will even push the Yan family's ancestral tablets down, and she will be worshiped by the family at a high level. No matter how bad it is, there is no problem in enjoying the incense alongside her ancestors.

Going further, the drought will definitely be recorded in the annals of history. She, the legendary woman who helped Zhou solve the disaster problem, will definitely be written in the annals of history and be read by future generations.

No matter it is power, status, or glory, no one can refuse it. She only thinks about money???

Even if she doesn't think about herself, doesn't she still think about her two children?
