Seeing that it was Chang Qinglian who broke the tea bowl, Chang Feng's eyes flashed and he asked inadvertently:

"It's Qinglian, I remember you had some friendship with Aunt Wu."

Chang Qinglian quickly knelt down on the ground and said in panic: "Entertainment father, you lian...you lian..."

She was frightened by Chang Feng's fierce expression, and she couldn't speak.

Cao Bin knocked on the table and frowned and said, "Sir Chang, what are you doing? She is mine now!"

Chang Feng was stunned, then laughed, his tone became gentle:

"I am a ruthless official, please don't blame me!"

"Your Li, get up too, I can still believe you."

"Just just a joke..."

Hearing this, Chang Qinglian immediately breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Cao Bin with gratitude, and quickly picked up the pieces of the tea bowl.

Chang Feng then smiled at Cao Bin:

"Brother, are you quite satisfied with my daughter?"

"If she makes you angry, she can beat you and scold you."

Hearing the two of them talking about him, Chang Qinglian's movement of cleaning up the floor slowed down, but he did not dare to look up.

Cao Bin smiled and said:

"You are polite, Mr. Chang, Miss Qinglian is beautiful and understanding, and she is better than a flower of Xieyu."

"I want to thank Chang Renren..."

Time and space rotate, the sun and the moon pass by, and time quickly enters the twelfth lunar month.

The cold north wind was raging.

During these days, Cao Bin made a harsh move and the effect of killing the Wu family and the Jeju Tongzong also showed.

The most direct advantage is that the Wu family emptied out the assets of the company and purchased more than 100,000 stones of grain from other provinces, and Cao Bin was in vain.

The Wu family originally wanted to take this opportunity to earn a fortune from the court.

However, Cao Bin directly confiscated Shuijing and the whole family gave him the head.

The incident later shocked the local officials. They did not expect that Chang Feng would take the initiative to take the responsibility for Cao Bin's murder.

Those officials and gentry wanted to break their heads, but they didn't understand the reason why Chang Feng did this.

In this way, they were afraid of Cao Bin to the core.

Not only do they dare not or lack daily gifts, but they dare not ignore any of Cao Bin's orders.

Changfeng was the chief official of the border and their leader.

Even his relatives ended up killing the whole family because of Cao Bin's expression, let alone others.

Coupled with the huge benefits given by Cao Bin, these people are full of energy and are always trembling.

So, in such a strange situation, labor-for-relief progressed extremely smoothly, and the various prefectures and counties initiated materials without any discounts.

If you work for a day, you will get two kilograms of grain. If you do well, you will double it.

Just save a little bit, it will be enough for the whole family to eat half full.

So, the victims worked hard to make a full meal.

In addition, officials at all levels kept shuttled and directing the planning. Those who didn't know came here and thought they had arrived at a huge construction site.

Another ten days have passed, and countless adobe and brick houses have been built, so it is no problem to use them to survive the cold winter.

On this day, the prefect of Jeju came to Cao Bin and reported carefully:

"Mr., in a few days, the victims' residence will be built. Will there be labor-for-relief next?"

Cao Bin said casually:

"Of course, after building the residences of the victims, they will build government offices, county offices, city walls, and canals... Anyway, they cannot be left idle."

The prefect of Jeju wiped his forehead and said:

"Brother, the disaster relief grain you sent could have been used until the end of the year, but now it is about to be used up, and the same is true for other prefectures and counties."

Cao Bin said indifferently:

"Don't worry, I have collected nearly one million stones of grain, enough to be used until the beginning of next spring..."

"Aren't the grain merchants still transporting grain continuously? Tell them to work harder, and I still have more than one million stags of silver in my hand, so that they can transport it as much as possible!"

"Before the New Year, my master would go back to Beijing and ask for money from the court. They would definitely be inseparable from their money!"

The prefect of Jeju nodded repeatedly:

"Oh! Don't worry, I will urge them."

Seeing the Jeju prefect leaving happily, Cao Bin sneered: After the Chinese New Year, if I don’t cheat your pants, I won’t be Cao’s surname.

Then, Cao Bin called Shi Qian and asked, "How many people have you recruited now?"

Shi Qian took out a book and said:

"Brother, I chose a thousand teenagers from the victims, all of whom were very clever."

"Now I have been assigned to various prefectures and counties, and I plan to train them through experience."

Cao Bin nodded and said:

"It's done well, so it's just right for me."

"Next, I plan to recruit some victims to build restaurants, wasi, and theaters in preparation for the future."

"This can not only solve the food problems of some disaster victims, but also expand the industry of the Hou Mansion. It is the best of both worlds."

"This matter will be left to you. You can promote it carefully at that time, and it is best to let local wealthy families participate."

"......Please minimize the burden on the court."

Under Cao Bin's plan, disaster relief affairs have gradually gotten on track as he expected.

......

Among the 800-mile Liangshan Mountains, there is a undulating land called Liaoerwa.

There is a small city on Liaoerwa, called Wanzi City, which has always been occupied by bandits and looted merchants.

At this time, the Heavenly King Chao Gai and the Shishiyu Song Jiang were sitting side by side in the Juyi Hall, discussing matters with the brothers in the hall.

If Cao Bin saw this situation, he might be confused.

When he left Beijing, Lin Chong stayed safely in Tokyo to become an official.

Logically speaking, Chao Gai and Song Jiang shouldn't have occupied Liangshan so early.

When talking about this, Song Jiang himself was also very depressed.

He was a good defence officer in Yuncheng County. Although he often helped his friends in the world, he had never done anything illegal or disorderly.

Who knows that when people sit at home, the pot comes from the sky.

One day, the county magistrate suddenly told him.

King Duan Zhao Ji and Grand Marshal Gao Qiu wanted to secretly arrest a person named "Shi Yu".

Song Jiang was startled at first, but then he only thought it was a coincidence, after all, he had never done anything out of the ordinary.

However, the county magistrate's next words made him unacceptable. The wanted person not only had the nickname the same as him, but his words were all "Gongming".

How could this be said to be a "coincidence" clearly pointing to him.

Fortunately, the magistrate of Yuncheng County had a good personal relationship with him, so he did not take him down directly, but informed him of the news first.

Song Jiang didn't know why Zhao Ji and the others arrested him, but they had to run away overnight.

This is different from the original work. He just killed Yan Poxi by mistake, and there is hope of waiting for pardon.

If he offended Zhao Ji and Gao Qiu, he had no way out.

After running out of Yuncheng, he thought for a long time, but he didn't think of going there to settle down.

Fortunately, Chai Jin pointed out a clear road for it - the water of Liangshan!

After arriving at the foot of Liangshan, he muttered again, feeling that only by going to Liangshan would he be alone and despised by Wang Lun.

So he thought of his friend Chao Gai from Dongxi Village.

After all, Chao Gai and others did not have his seven-orbital heart, so they were easily dragged down by him, and they merged with Wang Lun, and became the Lord of Liangshan alongside him.

Now that Shandong has a severe drought, it is not easy for them to live, and the food storage is in danger.

Chao Gai said in a low voice: "It seems that we have to go down the mountain. Now, grain merchants are traveling in Shandong, so it should not be difficult to grab grain."

Wu Yong shook his feather fan and said, "We can't grab these grain merchants."

"Now the Huyi Navy is on the shore of the water, and there are tens of thousands of soldiers guarding the city of Jeju. Our Liangshan is not an opponent for the time being."

"These grain merchants were assigned by Cao Bin and Chang Feng, and they colluded with each other. If we stole them, we would definitely attract all-out revenge from the gentry of Shandong!"

Chao Gai said irritably: "What should I do? You can't let your brothers starve to death!"

Wu Yong shook his feather fan confidently and said with a smile: "I have already received the news that a batch of grain in Licheng, Qizhou is on the way, and you will pass by Liangshan within a few days."

"This batch of grain is due to Yan Chasan. He is not harmonious with the gentry of Shandong, so we just took the opportunity to start."

Song Jiang nodded and smiled, "The military advisor said it well. That batch of grain is more than 300,000 stones, enough for us to eat until the autumn harvest next year..."
