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

Chapter 1070
Looking at this person's adoring eyes, Gu Chengyu felt that it would be good to gain a fanboy.

If this person can read and write, and has some influence among the victims, he can be called to do things for him.Dealing with these disaster victims will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

"Master Imperial Envoy, with your words, we are finally at ease. During these days, we have nowhere to live, and we are very panicked, not knowing what to do in the future. Now that the Imperial Envoy is taking care of us, we all feel that life has a bright future. .”

"Yes! As I said before, the imperial envoy will not ignore us."

"That's right! We still have to rely on the imperial envoy to plan for us, the little old man is here to thank the imperial envoy!"

It may be that the rice on the carriages won the hearts of the victims, and they worship Gu Chengyu very much at the moment.

Then several people knelt down and thanked Gu Chengyu again and again!
"Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely do what I say!" Gu Chengyu stepped forward to help again, and he helped one of the old people nearby.

At this moment, Gu Chengyu was also moved by the trust and admiration of these disaster victims. He felt that what he did was not entirely for political achievements, but probably for the lives of these disaster victims!
"My lord, please keep your promise and help us rebuild our hometown!"

One cried and wiped his tears with his sleeve, then knelt down too.

Until today, they finally figured it out.If you want to say who can control them in the imperial court, it is the young adult in front of you.

Didn't an imperial envoy also come here before?Isn't that adult unable to accommodate them?
"My lord! Please, my lord, save us!" Seeing this, the rest of the victims also knelt down.

The only thing they can ask for now is Gu Chengyu, the uneasiness and uneasiness they have been feeling for the past few days has made people overwhelmed.

It's okay to have nowhere to live and go hungry, but they see no hope.

If the government ignores them, what should they do?Have you always been a refugee?

Gu Chengyu stood where he was, seeing the hopeful faces of the sallow and emaciated victims, but he finally softened his heart.

No matter!Don't ask for a name to go down in history, to be famous forever, but to be worthy of your heart.

Ming Mo and the others were also touched a lot. Looking at the tens of thousands of disaster victims kneeling on the ground in front of them, just kneeling at the feet of the adults, their hearts also surged with passion.

"Everyone! Since I have agreed, of course I will try my best to do it, everyone, get up!"

What he promised before was that as long as he was in Jiangnan for one day, he would plan for these victims.

But if the emperor transfers him away from the capital, then he can only be beyond his reach, and he will sigh in relief!

Moved to be moved, soft-hearted to be soft-hearted, he will not promise anything without thinking.The emperor will definitely send another official to take over the post-disaster reconstruction work.

"Mingmo, you send someone to the warehouse to carry the copper coins, and start distributing the money now." Gu Chengyu sent people to the bank to exchange the silver for copper coins as early as two days ago.

Ming Mo commanded the crowd to escort all the grain carts back to the city, leaving only three carts of grain.

The grain carts walked towards the city in a mighty manner, even the people in the city were attracted.

"Look! I was at the gate of the city just now, and I heard that this is the grain that the imperial envoy bought from other state capitals. I heard that it was about five or six hundred shi brought back this time! I also said that other grains are still on the way."

A commoner looked at these grain carts and said enviously.

"We are running out of food in the city. I go to the rice shop every day and come back empty-handed. The rice jars at home are all empty. I don't know what to do."

One of them looked at the carriage and sighed, his eyes were fixed on those sacks, and he refused to move away for a moment.

"It's all the fault of those merchants. They have collected all the grain in the vicinity, that is, those farmers have no grain. If we want to buy grain, we have to buy it from them. The children in the family are all hungry. The higher the price, the higher the price, but these rice shops are not open recently!" one interrupted angrily.

"They are waiting to sell at a high price! Isn't it because they don't sell grain now that they can sell it for several times more in the future? I heard that the imperial envoy forbids them to sell grain at a high price, but what's the use of it? They don't sell now , what can we do to them?"

Another sigh, expressing the sourness and helplessness in my heart.

"Hey? You said, let's go to the government office to ask, see if the imperial envoy sells food! It doesn't make sense that the victims of the disaster can eat it, but we can't!"

"That's right! The cousin of my third uncle's grandparent's niece and son-in-law is working as a servant in the government office. I'll ask someone to ask, as long as I can buy food!"

"Okay, okay! You can ask someone to ask, if you can buy it, I can get some credit." This is obviously an acquaintance.

Gu Chengyu climbed up the tower and looked at the order below.While taking the money, he sold the rice at the same time. He couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction.

He set the price of brown rice at ten cents a catty, which is actually very low.

Because what he asked Mingmo to buy was brown rice, not paddy.As Ming Mo said just now, the cost price is only six cents a catty.

Although Sunan Mansion is some distance away from the flood-stricken area, people also know that Changtian Mansion has been hit by a disaster, so the food price in Sunan Mansion has risen.

It was still four cents a catty before, and it has increased by two cents. After all, it is the purchase price, which is considered expensive.

And the cost on the road is also quite a lot, so much food is transported back, must it cost money?So ten Wen is not expensive at all.

In addition, the price of grain in Yingnanfu City had been sold for more than 30 yuan a catty before, but now it is more than [-] yuan, and no one is willing to sell it.

Standing beside Gu Chengyu, Ming Mo looked at the happy victims who received the food below, and couldn't help feeling anxious.

"My lord!" He wanted to ask, but was interrupted by Gu Chengyu's gesture.

Gu Chengyu made a silent gesture, and then said with a smile: "Why are you so impatient? Let's talk when we go back!"

"Master, it's not good. There are a lot of grain trucks entering the city and going straight to the government office."

A steward hurriedly entered the outer courtyard and said to the master who was checking the account books.

"What? Grain truck? Where did the grain truck come from?" Ju Haoming stood up abruptly, suddenly having a bad premonition in his heart.

"My lord, several grain trucks have just entered the city. The villain went to inquire and said that the imperial envoys brought grain from other state capitals."

The manager looked eager, and looked worried at the master's expression.

Ju Haoming's face turned livid, "Go and find out what's going on?"

He is very worried now, if Gu Chengyu can only buy so much grain, even if he sells it all at a low price, he will not be afraid.

But what he is worried about is that Gu Chengyu has the ability to buy a steady stream of food from other places.No, this matter must be reported to the adults as soon as possible.

"Yes!" The steward hesitated to speak, but when he saw his master's solemn expression, he had no choice but to swallow his words.
