The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 1069
"Everyone, I promised you that I will never let you go hungry again. This shanty has also been set up, and you have seen the food. From today on, we will never be short of food. This official has already We have negotiated with the neighboring state capitals, and they will provide the food."

Gu Chengyu said this very boldly, with profound inner strength, he is committed to spreading his voice to everyone's ears.

"Starting tomorrow, all registered river workers will start working. Today, you can advance the money for the first day to buy grain. Each household is limited to two to three catties of grain per household according to the population, and no more can be bought."

How many households there are here have been investigated before.

It is impossible for Gu Chengyu to support the victims all the time, his food is very limited.Of course, the victims would not be allowed to buy food without restraint. Gu Chengyu knew exactly how much food Mingmo brought.

The victims have no money in their hands. If no one buys food today, all his hard work will be in vain.

That's why Gu Chengyu advances one day's wages in advance, so as to save one day's free food.

"What? Can we still advance copper coins to buy food? Is there such a good thing?" A disaster victim immediately asked suspiciously when he heard this.

He had never heard of it, and he paid his wages before he started working.

"What do you know? Given the money, you have to buy food yourself, and the government will definitely not send porridge anymore."

Another old man with a goatee understood Gu Chengyu's plan, and couldn't help admiring the young imperial envoy.

This calculation is sophisticated enough, but with so many victims, such calculation is understandable.

The grain cart came to the city gate mightily, Gu Chengyu turned around and went down the tower, leading people to Mingmo's place.

Ming Mo saw Gu Chengyu greeted him personally, and immediately dismounted from his horse, "The villain pays respects to the lord!"

Gu Chengyu nodded, and turned his gaze to the carriage behind Mingmo.There are a lot of sacks piled up on it, all bulging and looking very heavy.

"You don't need to be too polite! How much food is there?" Gu Chengyu circled around the first carriage, his eyes flickered, and then asked.

"My lord! There are six hundred shi in total, and this is only a part of it. In a few days, more grain will arrive." Ming Mo replied respectfully with his head bowed.

"Okay! You deserve credit this time. The victims and the people in the city are all waiting for food to save their lives. This is their hope of survival."

Gu Chengyu looked excited, and slapped Ming Mo's shoulder.Ming Mo's mood was immediately infected by Gu Chengyu, and he also became agitated.

"My lord." At this moment, Ming Mo felt as if he had completed a creation that would benefit the world. He turned around and was about to express what he felt in his heart, but Gu Chengyu's next move would frighten him out of his wits.

I saw Gu Chengyu draw out the sword he was carrying with him, and stab at the sack.

As soon as the sack was punctured, the grain in the sack flowed out.

The yellow brown rice poured down, flowed over the carriage board, and then splashed onto the ground.

"Rice! It's rice!" The victims' eyes were red with excitement when they saw the rice falling on the ground.

They were both distressed and excited.I feel sorry for so much rice being wasted like this, and I am excited that they will definitely not be short of food in the future.

The guards who escorted the food back were also taken aback by Gu Chengyu's actions, and they watched Gu Chengyu's crazy actions with dumbstruck eyes.

Gu Chengyu raised his sword again, and stabbed along the carriage one by one.

This action made the victims present completely boil, "Rice! It's all rice! These are all rice!"

The victims looked at the pouring rice with red eyes, and they were all ready to move.Some victims couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward several steps.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the guards and yamen servants quickly surrounded him.They raised their swords and glared fiercely at the victims.

These disaster victims are so crazy, seeing so much food, how can they control themselves?

Under the lure of food, it is absolutely possible to make any crazy moves at that time.

Gu Chengyu naturally knew that his actions had aroused the excitement of the victims, and this was what he wanted.

Feeling that it was almost done, Gu Chengyu finally stopped after stabbing the sacks on five carriages in a row.

Seeing that Gu Chengyu had finally stopped, Ming Mo quickly wiped off the sweat that just broke out from his forehead.

Just a little bit, just a little bit.Otherwise, I really don't know how to end it.

He almost cried, my lord!Why are you so crazy?Before doing so, at least let me know!Almost didn't scare him out of good or bad.

"Everyone! Have you seen it? We have no shortage of food. As long as you do your best, I will not let you go hungry again. The imperial court will not ignore you, and it is even more impossible for me to ignore you. As long as I am in the south of the Yangtze River One day, I will do my best to plan for you. Come and move all the grain to the porridge shed, get wages on the left, and buy grain on the right.”

Gu Chengyu gave an order, and everyone started to act.If you don’t brush favorability at this time, when will you do it?He has exhausted all his efforts for the sake of the victims, and he has worked so hard not to do good deeds without leaving his name.

The disaster victims cheered, how long has it been?They finally saw hope.

"The imperial envoy is a good official! Everyone, our life is given by the imperial envoy!"

One of the victims was deeply moved, and asked himself, if it weren't for the imperial envoy, they would have starved to death long ago.

Although the other party's methods are cruel, they can be regarded as sincerely planning for them.From Hangtian Mansion to Yingnan Mansion, no matter how difficult it was, no one died of starvation.

"Yes! Without the imperial envoy, we would have died long ago. Before we blamed the imperial envoy, our conscience was eaten by dogs. How ashamed!"

Compared with those officials who ignored them, this imperial envoy has done a lot for them, which is already rare.

"The imperial court's disaster relief money is still on the way. The food and drink these days are all up to the imperial envoys. The adults alone shouldered all the burdens and helped tens of thousands of our victims. For us to deal with those merchants and officials, he gave up his face and begged for help. We also It’s not those people who don’t know good and bad. In the future, if the imperial envoy has orders, just give us orders.”

A man walked out of the crowd, knelt down towards Gu Chengyu, and kowtowed heavily.

Gu Chengyu was startled, and quickly stepped forward to support this person.

"Get up quickly. As an official of the imperial court, these are what I should do. It was really difficult a while ago, and I have wronged you. Everyone, take a long-term view. After the water in Changtian Mansion recedes and the river embankment is repaired, It will definitely rebuild your homeland for you.”

Gu Chengyu smiled all over his face, and made a promise to everyone.He took a deep look at the kneeling man in front of him. The man's speech was rather elegant, and he must have read some books.
