After Zhu Biao finished his instructions, he got up and went to the warehouse of the guardhouse to check the food. It was really a mountain of food. You must know that the food sent by the court was completely enough to relieve the victims, but Zhu Biao saw how many people died of starvation along the way.
refugee?
Those victims starved to death not because the court did not send enough food, but because their life-saving rations were secretly stored here. Zhu Biao casually opened a food bag and reached out to scoop out a generous amount of rice.
Zhu Biao rubbed his hands together, then put it under his nose and sniffed it. It was old rice, but it was stored very well. Judging from the appearance, it was shipped from the Jiangnan nobles, and it was better than the military rations of the imperial court.
Zhu Biao looked around carefully again, and from time to time he opened the food bag and smelled it. Then he felt a lot more at ease. There was indeed enough food. Fortunately, they didn't have time to transfer or burn it. Otherwise, Zhu Biao would have killed all the nine tribes and it would not help.
?
Tang Shizhong ordered to the side: "Immediately load a batch and send it to Fucheng for disaster relief. Don't be too stingy and buy more rice. Of course, you have to control it. After all, the victims have been hungry for too long."
Tang Shizhong agreed, and the captain behind him immediately waved his hand. The soldiers of the imperial guards were all strong and efficient in their work. Zhu Biao then mentioned: "The government will definitely come to cause trouble, don't be afraid."
, those unruly police officers who come to cause trouble might as well be ruthless and kill them."
The King of Hell was so troubled by the imps, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the crimes of the policemen in these places were heinous. Zhu Binbin planned to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, but because they were an indispensable part of the disaster relief, he could not kill them all.
"The situation in Qingyang Mansion is even more miserable than that in Pingliang Mansion. Although I haven't been to Fengxiang Mansion yet, I expected that the situation would not be good, so I loaded up a batch of food overnight and sent it out. The leading soldiers selected the smarter ones and arrived at the place.
The local government across the street may take a tough stance, but they still have to focus on disaster relief and peace of mind!”
Tang Shizhong and others hurriedly agreed. Zhu Biao expected that Wang Shijian's death would soon spread to nearby state capitals, which would scare them enough not to dare to mess around again for the time being. They would definitely have to wait and see for a while, not to mention the unscrupulous people who dared to kill officials.
The military guards of the government personally escorted the food, and no one dared to reach out.
This is how the world is, good people are afraid of evil people, evil people are afraid of cruel people, and violent people are afraid of people who risk their lives. The military guards of the government are currently very violent, and those who risk their lives are rare.
Zhu Biao did not reveal his identity for the time being because he was worried that they would lose their lives. Although Zhu Biao could not be hurt by jumping over the wall, the victims would inevitably be affected. After all, they were his own people. They had suffered enough. Zhu Biao couldn't bear the turmoil that they were suffering.
.
In the afternoon, Pingliang Prefecture's grain truck was loaded. The Prefectural Army Guards were the main ones, and the experienced Chen family men were the assistants. Together they went to Pingliang Prefecture to give porridge inside and outside the city. After forcing some government servants to help, the work started.
.
Chen Rongyan also set out to blackmail those officials. Zhu Biao returned to the room and had a quick bite of food, and then quickly sent someone to contact Quan Xu, Zhang Fan and others where they were.
After that, there were a lot of various matters. Zhu Biao also made plans some time ago, but when he really calculated it, he found that there was a shortage of manpower everywhere. Shaanxi and Gansu are too big. In such a large area, there are so many officials, so many victims who are waiting for food.
Zhu Biao had to treat it with caution.
At night, Qing Lian came to deliver the medicinal meal that he had cooked. Liu An carefully inspected it before sending it to Zhu Biao. By this time, the table was already covered with papers full of handwriting.
Zhu Biao looked up impatiently at Liu An and Qinglian and said, "Didn't I say that dinner is no longer needed?"
Liu An hurriedly advised: "Master, you are in good health, how can you not eat? Eat more or less, I beg you."
Zhu Biao exhaled, threw away the brush in his hand and pinched his eyebrows tiredly: "Is Quan Xu here?"
"As for me, it's not there yet, but I think it will be there tomorrow morning at the latest."
Zhu Biao just received the news that Quan Xu has arrived in Qingyang, but that news was already two days ago. If Quan Xu had not delayed more time in Qingyang, he would have arrived soon. This also shows that this era of communication
It's really crazy how backward the methods are.
At this moment, Qing Lian was standing aside obediently. She was smart and had been observing people's emotions since elementary school. Especially after Zhu Biao was sure that she was just an ordinary beautiful woman and not a spy, he did not deliberately hide anything from her.
Now she naturally knew Zhu Biao's identity, but not only did she not take the initiative to post it, but she behaved very well, which made Liu An and others look at her.
After Zhu Biao drank the medicinal meal, he waved them away. He waited until the moon was at the top of the sky before he could see Quan Xu, so Zhu Biao fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Zhu Biao was suddenly awakened by an indescribable smell. He opened his eyes in confusion and thought for a moment. Then his eyes lit up. He walked out of bed with bare feet and opened the window. The outside world was gray and black, cold and thin.
The raindrops hit Zhu Biao's face with the slanting wind, refreshing him.
Zhu Biao stretched out his hand out of the window and sighed softly: "It finally rained. It's a good sign."
When Zhao Huaian heard the figure coming in, he screamed and quickly picked up his robe and put it on him. Zhu Biao took a few deep breaths. The breeze and drizzle mixed with the smell of earth penetrated his heart. It was an indescribable enjoyment.
Zhu Biao's favorite thing since he was a child is to move a stool and sit on the window threshold when it rains to watch the rain, not only through his eyes but also through his nose and skin, getting that sense of satisfaction.
The rain was not heavy, but it was God's mercy for Shaanxi and Gansu, which has been suffering from drought for a long time. The symbolic meaning is much greater than the actual meaning, unless it rains for three days and three nights.
Zhu Biao washed and dressed in a happy mood, then called Tang Shizhong and said: "It's raining. Send more food today, cook some porridge and make some steamed buns and pancakes."
Tang Shizhong agreed, and then Chen Rongyan came in to report: "Your Highness, Fang Liangpin is willing to provide another hundred thousand taels of silver and thirty thousand hectares of fertile land. He only asks Commander Tang to blame Wang Shijian's death on the remnants of the cult."
Zhu Biao frowned. This was too pleasant. Fang Liangpin and others naturally made a lot of money, but Zhu Biao had already taken a lot out of his hands. Counting this time, it is estimated that the officials of Pingliang Mansion had already taken away the old man.
Everything was lost.
Zhu Biao thought that Fang Liangpin would not bear such a big loss on his own, and would involve everyone in his interest group. Could it be that he has changed his gender, or is he really scared?
Zhu Biao pondered for a moment and said: "If we increase it five times, it will cost 500,000 taels. Let them think of a way immediately. If it is not enough within three days, it will be too late."
Chen Rongyan was shocked. He had been doing business for half his life and had earned tens of thousands of taels of silver for his family. Now he was going to extort money for the rest of his life and could not make enough money. Life was really full of surprises.
