After fleeing famine, I rely on space to raise cubs

Chapter 416
A group of people entered through the side corner door. Su Qu followed Su Qing all the time. At this time, he was two steps behind and walked to Ru Xin, "Ru Xin."

Ru Xin raised her head, "Guard Su, what's the matter?"

Su Qu looked at Su Qing's back, "What is that little Huang?"

Ru Xin blushed, she stomped her feet and said, "Guard Su, you have so many things to do, hum."

Ru Xin walked quickly to Su Qing's side, not forgetting to look at Su Qu twice, with an obviously unhappy expression.

Su Qu was so surprised that he looked at Xiao Yuan, who was also dumbfounded.

Walking into the inner hall, Liang Jingrui was sitting upright at the top, and the people below were kneeling on the ground, weeping and saying: "My lord, we had a hard time in the past two years. They said it was for disaster relief, but it turned out to be water. A little water was added to the water. Rice grains, or coarse rice grains, are full of stones, woo woo woo, we have no choice, without this porridge, we simply cannot survive."

"Also, Master Liu, whenever he takes a fancy to someone, he will take that person back. Most of his wives and concubines are taken back by him. Some of them are thrown out the next day after a night, and they don't even have a copper coin. None."

"Not only the daughter, but the son, too."

When the people below said this, they seemed to remember the sad past, and they covered their faces and cried bitterly.

Su Qing looked unhappy, "Damn, it's for nothing, it's really good enough."

"The disaster relief money allocated by the imperial court, it is written in the account book that [-] cotton-padded clothes are prepared, and all of them have been spent. Have you received the cotton-padded clothes?"

When the complainant heard this, he was very excited and wanted to get up, but the guard behind him said: "Kneel down."

The man plopped and knelt down, "My lord, it's completely wronged. Those cotton clothes were indeed said to be distributed. We stayed at the prescribed place early on, but those officials were all bastards who actually tore up the cotton clothes. Open, throw it on the ground, and say whoever robs the most cotton will get the cotton coat. That day, my son died in the crowd, and I couldn’t even find the whole body in the end.”

Su Qing stood at the door, listening to the people under the disaster, it was so miserable, she suddenly couldn't listen anymore, turned around and went to the room, took a sip of tea, her mind was full of grief and indignation.

Ru Xin poured a cup of tea for Su Qing, sighed and said, "Princess, it turns out that the people outside are living so pitifully, I really feel sorry for you."

Su Qing put the teacup on the table, her voice was heavy, as if she said in her heart, "People are very lowly, when it comes to death, I'm afraid there is no so-called etiquette, integrity, moral bottom line, we are not in this environment , so I feel pitiful, and when I get to their position, I only think about how to snatch food and clothing, and how to keep myself alive."

There was a trace of coldness in Su Qing's heart, she seemed to be very uncomfortable, that kind of discomfort, with unprecedented compassion.

"Qing'er, are you alright?"

When Song Zhi came to the door, he happened to see that Su Qing's face was a little pale, so he hurried in, "What's wrong with you? You look bad."

Su Qing forced a smile, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired. By the way, is anyone from the chamber of commerce coming today? I want to see them."

Song Zhi nodded, "It's at the door. I said I was meeting you, so I just came here. What are you doing with people from the chamber of commerce?"

Su Qing tidied up her clothes, "It's something, you can go and have a look with me later."

Su Qing brought Song Zhi to the front hall, Liang Jingrui was still listening to the complaints from the people below, looking very serious.

Su Qing then went to the hall in the back yard. This place is specially for banqueting guests, and the decoration is very gorgeous. Su Qing has no interest in these environments, so she doesn't pay attention to the things around her. But just sitting in a seat, she suddenly found that the There is a painting next to the door, which looks like a landscape from a distance, but Su Qing feels that something is wrong.

She walked over and took a closer look, and found that there were two people on it. Although it seemed that one was playing the flute and the other was playing the piano, it was very romantic under an old locust tree, but when Su Qing looked carefully, the clothes on one of the men The sleeve is broken.

Su Qing tilted her head, according to reason, the broken sleeve here is a normal thing, there is no need to make it so secretive, as if she is afraid of being discovered by others, but also hopes that others will find out.

Song Zhi walked to her side, "Qing'er, what are you looking at?"

Song Zhi glanced at the portrait, "This is two people playing the piano and flute here, is there a problem?"

Su Qing let out a sigh, and flicked his sleeves, "No problem, I just feel a little strange, it's nothing, people from the chamber of commerce called in, Ru Xin, prepare the bitter tea."

Su Qing assumed the posture of the master, and people from the Chamber of Commerce came in one after another. The one who walked in the front was the vice president of the Yucheng Chamber of Commerce, who is now in charge of the Chamber of Commerce. He is in his 40s, with a square face, thick eyebrows, thin, and clothes It is Yucheng's fashionable gown style. On the black clothes, there is a jade pendant hanging around the waist. There are many tassels hanging around the jade pendant. Su Qing wonders why men in Yucheng like to wear women's things around their waists. Seeing the rough man walking swaying, the tassel swaying along with it, Su Qing pulled the corners of his mouth and raised his eyes, not wanting to take a second look.

A group of businessmen followed behind, and they all saw the scene where Su Qing asked people to do it yesterday. Everyone respected Su Qing, "I have seen Miss."

Su Qing didn't reveal her identity, but nodded, "You are all businessmen from Yucheng. I asked you here today because I have something to ask. Which of you is in charge now?"

The one who walked in the front said: "Miss, I am now acting as the acting president. The surname of the grassroots is Leng, and my name is Leng Qianqiu."

Su Qing just took a sip of tea and almost spit it out, her eyes widened, "Your name is Leng Qianqiu?"

Oh my god, there is a TV show whose name is Leng Qingqiu, and now this man is called Leng Qianqiu, he sounds like a very powerful person, but after a closer look, he is just an ordinary person.

Leng Qianqiu didn't expect Su Qing's reaction to be so big, and thought that her name was a taboo, so she said: "Miss, Cao Min's name was chosen by her parents, and she has been called that way for so many years, if it violates the taboo of Miss's name, then The grassroots will change it now."

Su Qing stretched out her hand and said, "No, no, I'm just asking casually. Since you are in charge, I want to ask you, how much food is there in Yucheng now?"

Leng Qianqiu looked at Su Qing, frowning slightly, "It's about two or three hundred catties."

Su Qing raised his head and calculated that there are more than 1 households in Chengxian County. According to the ration of two catties per person, these two to three hundred catties are not enough at all.

Su Qing got up and walked in front of Leng Qianqiu, "I don't believe there is only such a small amount of grain in such a big city of Yu. I know that you have more or less stock in your hands, so I don't want to be fooled. I want a thousand catties of grain, and One tael of silver and eight shi, not one cent less."
