The atmosphere inside the county government office was solemn.
Su Cheng looked at all the large households that refused to provide food, and for the first time he felt anger and rage in his heart.
With so many lives right in front of them, these people clearly have food, but they are unwilling to give it out!
They would rather watch these victims die than help save others.
"Have you never thought about the consequences of standing idly by?"
Su Cheng took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Oh, the county magistrate is too worried. These victims will leave soon when they see that we don't provide food."
"That is, their own county does not open warehouses for disaster relief, so why should they ask us to give them food?"
"Yes, these people should go to their own county magistrate if they want food."
"Master Su, we can understand that you want to achieve something when you take office, but this kind of thing is a bottomless pit."
No matter what Su Cheng said, these people were indifferent.
At this time, Shen Youwei could not sit still.
My husband is really good-tempered. If it were me, I would have scolded him a long time ago.
With a cold snort, Shen Youwei stood up and stared at everyone: "You must think clearly, if you offend my husband, you will have good luck in Liuhe County from now on!"
"No matter what happens today, you must come up with food, otherwise no one will be able to leave!"
After finishing speaking, Shen Youwei pulled out her sharp sword and struck hard at the table beside her.
"Click~"
A corner of the table broke with the sound.
Everyone was startled and backed away one after another, with a look of horror on their faces.
But someone soon reacted: "Is Mr. Su threatening us?"
"Humph, at worst, the fish will die and the net will be broken, and we won't be able to provide food!"
"Yes, there is a drought now, and we ourselves need food, so why should we give it to the victims?"
"If we have different paths, let's go!"
The big bosses are not fools. They know that this is Su Cheng's territory, and they don't want to get into too much trouble with Su Cheng, so leaving directly is the best choice.
Shen Youwei was furious, but she didn't expect that her actions would scare these people away.
"You... are not allowed to leave!"
Shen Youwei was anxious and was about to rush forward to stop everyone with her sword in hand.
Unexpectedly, Su Cheng suddenly reached out and grabbed her: "Madam, let them go!"
"But……"
"Don't worry, they will beg me sometimes. Now some large households have been attacked by the victims. In two days, those victims will be so hungry that they will attack these large households crazily."
Su Cheng had calmed down now. He looked at the big family walking out and sneered: "When the victims attack you, I hope you can still be as tough as you are now."
As soon as these words came out, the big players immediately panicked.
In the past few days, many large households have been attacked or blocked by victims at their doorsteps.
They still expect the government to handle this matter.
Now that I heard Su Cheng's words, he probably didn't want to care about it and was ready to let this matter develop.
This is not okay. If the victims are allowed to cause trouble, they will definitely be robbed.
Although they each have servants in their houses, they cannot stop the attacks of so many victims.
Now, the big players were panicking.
"Master Su, you can't ignore this matter."
"Yes, that's why we came here today."
"As the county magistrate, you must take care of this kind of thing, otherwise Liuhe County will be in chaos."
At this time, they remembered that Su Cheng was here, and they were no longer as arrogant as before.
Shen Youwei's eyes widened and she looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief.
She didn't expect that her husband-in-law would turn around in just a few words.
It seems that sometimes violence really can’t solve the problem!
The hand holding the sword immediately sheathes the sword!
Su Cheng, on the other hand, looked at the anxious big businessmen in front of him with a sneer on his lips.
What I want is for you to be anxious!
Don't worry, where does this food come from?
Su Cheng sat down slowly, looked at this group of angry wealthy people and said calmly: "Isn't this officer in charge of this?"
"It's just that if you don't cooperate, there's nothing I can do."
"And you have to think clearly. If you wait a few more days, more people will die. There will be corpses everywhere in front of your house. It might even cause a plague."
"I believe you know the horror of the plague better than I do, right?"
As soon as this statement came out, the big players immediately panicked.
Now they can no longer bear this situation. If other things happen to them, there will be no way for them to survive.
But let them hand over the food, but they are a little reluctant.
After all, it was grown with hard work by the tenant farmers in their house. It was always unpleasant to be killed by someone else for no reason.
For a time, the big players were in a dilemma. You looked at me, I looked at you, and you had no idea.
Of course Su Cheng understood what these people were thinking.
People are all selfish.
It's definitely not possible to ask these people to donate food for no reason.
"Everyone, I understand your difficulties!"
"I can give you an idea. You can make porridge and steamed buns from the grain. All the victims who come to your place to drink porridge and grain must plow the fields and plant rice seedlings for you!"
"In this way, it can be regarded as you hiring them to work for you, and you don't need to pay them, you only need to give them a bite to eat."
The first season of rice has been harvested, and the second season of rice will be planted soon.
But now there are so many disaster victims that no one dares to plant rice outside the city.
It is better to take advantage of this opportunity and let these large households "hire" the victims to plant the second crop of rice.
In this way, the victims will have enough to eat and survive, while the big families will be hiring cheap tenant farmers.
This is the benefit of killing two birds with one stone!
As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of all the big names lit up and they became interested.
"If that's the case, it's not impossible."
"If these victims are willing to work for us, then we will definitely give them food."
"This is a good idea, and my Liu family agrees!"
"My Wang family also agrees!"
Many big players agreed on the spot.
Other big players who were still hesitant nodded their heads when they saw so many people agreeing.
When Shen Youwei saw this scene, she couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes with a look of admiration.
My husband is so awesome that he can think of such a good idea.
It’s a pity that I wanted to take action just now!
Fortunately, I didn't do anything, otherwise my husband's good deeds would have been ruined.
If this thing is done, those victims will be rescued, and my husband will not have to worry about this matter!
When Shen Youwei was happy, Su Cheng stood up and said with a serious face:
"Since you all agreed, you can go back and execute it immediately."
"I will ask the government officials to notify all the victims and ask them to go to the nearest large household to get food!"
"Of course, before you distribute food, you must explain the work to them clearly to avoid conflicts in the future!"
"Don't worry, sir, we know what to do!" A group of big business owners responded, and then they all left.
Su Cheng looked at the people leaving with a look of relief, and a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
But what happened next was something no one expected.
Even Su Cheng didn't expect that his actions this time would cause such a big thing!
