Li Rui took a deep breath. In his heart, even if Su Changyu died ten thousand times, it would not be enough. However, the most important thing now is the control of the Liangzhou flood.
Other things can only be put aside.
"yes!"
Hearing this, Zhang Shou nodded hastily and stepped back.
It took less than half an hour.
A voice came from outside the house.
"The criminal Su Changyu, please see the prince..."
"Bring it in!"
Immediately afterwards, a fat guy in prison uniform stepped into the room. At that moment, the air in the whole room seemed a little insufficient.
"Ahem..."
Li Rui took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice: "Su Changyu, do you know why this king is looking for you?"
"Listen to what Master Zhang said!"
Su Changyu was kneeling there, her voice was crisp, she must have sobered up.
Li Rui nodded: "Okay, since you know, then I will no longer hide it! If you can solve this crisis, I can promise to let you become a staff member of the palace. If not, you
You should know what will happen to you!"
"My lord, what happened this time is actually not difficult!"
Su Changyu nodded and said: "The prince obtained 300,000 taels of silver through extraordinary means. This silver must be spent after all. To buy food in Dazhou, I am afraid that this place is compact, and even places with food are far away.
Water can't save the fire! But the prince might as well set his sights beyond the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
"Outside the Great Zhou Dynasty?"
Li Rui was stunned: "Are you talking about the Turks? Or the Northern Hu? Or the Huns? If they have food? Would they still raise troops to invade the country?"
"That's right. Naturally, they have no food in their hands! But it's not that they don't have food..."
"They are not interested in money, but they are interested in other things, such as Dazhou's cloth, which can protect them from wind and rain. It is also in short supply for them, and I have many cloth merchants in Liangzhou.
Under normal circumstances, trade with foreigners is not allowed, but if the prince takes the lead, he can exchange cloth for cattle and sheep! Although it will be much less than food, it can also temporarily solve the livelihood problem of the victims..."
Su Changyu knelt there with his head buried deep in the ground.
Hearing this, the corner of Li Rui's mouth twitched violently.
He finally understood that the Su Changyu in front of him was not a good person!
To put it nicely, this kind of thing is for disaster relief and foreign trade, but in the court, it only needs a little fuss. That is fornication with foreigners! This matter can be big or small, but it is definitely not a good thing.
.
No official in Liangzhou would do it because they can't bear such a risk!
This is simply gambling with one's political career.
Although Li Rui also felt the pressure, he could still withstand the pressure.
"When the disaster relief funds from the imperial court arrive in Liangzhou, the crisis in Liangzhou will be lifted!"
Su Changyu added again.
Li Rui took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and then looked at Su Changyu: "If I leave this matter to you, will you be able to handle it?"
"The guilty minister is incompetent! I'm afraid he will disappoint the prince's high expectations..."
Su Changyu buried his head deeply on the ground.
Li Rui's face was dark, he looked at Su Changyu in front of him quietly, and said coldly: "What? By asking you to do something, does that mean I have wronged you?"
"The guilty minister doesn't dare! It's true that the guilty minister has limited abilities and may not be able to take on such a big responsibility."
Su Changyu's body trembled, as if he was really frightened.
From a distance, it looked like a ball of flesh shaking constantly. Li Rui had a huge headache when he saw it.
Who is this Su Changyu? Li Rui felt that he couldn't see clearly.
The room fell silent!
With a trace of coldness in Li Rui's eyes, he took a deep breath and said: "I will leave this matter to you. If you do it well, you will have success, and if you don't do it well, there will be failures! You can rest assured and be bold.
Do it, as long as it can relieve disasters, I will help you block it if the sky falls!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, the guilty minister must go all out!"
Su Changyu smiled bitterly, seemingly helpless, and finally agreed.
"Go down and go back to the county office to rest for now. There is no need to go back to prison." Li Rui waved his hand.
After Su Changyu retired.
Xu Tong raised his hands and said, "Sir, is this person really trustworthy?"
"I know it too, but what he proposed is indeed a solution!"
"Three hundred thousand taels of silver, all bought for cattle and sheep, I'm afraid it won't last long..." Xu Tong said softly.
"Well, of course I know this!"
Li Rui nodded: "But now I can't care so much. It will be good if I can support it for a while."
"Also, keep an eye on him for me. If anything goes wrong, report it to me immediately..." Li Rui said softly.
He was still a little worried about Su Changyu.
This person does have some talent, but he is as timid as a mouse and even does nothing. When something happens, his first reaction is not to face the difficulty, but to retreat! Li Rui really doesn't see this kind of person.
many.
"yes!"
Xu Tong nodded in agreement.
That night, Li Rui didn't sleep well.
Waking up late at night, the chill spread along the bed. Li Rui gently put on his clothes and walked outside.
The night is getting dark and the spring cold dew is heavy.
Li Rui, who couldn't sleep, took advantage of the night to leave the palace and headed outside the city of Hedong County.
Although it was late at night, Zhang Shou's work efficiency was indeed good. In a short period of time, he had mobilized many people, including soldiers from the palace and county officials from Hedong County. These people were working in full swing outside the city.
.
We worked together to get some wood.
Although the simple shanty was built, it was a bit crude. But it could also provide shelter from the wind and rain. Li Rui took a closer look and found that a shanty could accommodate five people. He slowly moved forward along the base of the city wall. There was no other way.
It is not appropriate to place all the victims in the city at once.
At that time, there will be no way to maintain order in the city, not to mention there won’t be so much space in the city!
It is also easy to cause chaos when serving porridge.
Surviving is the most important thing.
And the thoughts and wishes of these people are also very simple, just to survive!
"See Prince Liang!"
At this time, Zhang Shou saw King Liang and hurriedly bowed down: "Your Majesty, there are many people outside the city. I'm afraid it's not safe for you to go out alone. I'll find someone to escort you back to your home!"
"No problem!"
Li Rui waved his hand and said: "I am standing here, what danger can there be?"
The corner of Zhang Shou's mouth twitched.
He took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly: "Fellow folks, please stop what you are doing!"
While talking, Zhang Shou took Li Rui and stood a few steps higher.
