Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 171 The Sly Fox

With a radius of tens of miles, large tracts of land were deserted, Liu Yunxiang took Shen Yunzhou to a hillside, and let him see this scene with his own eyes.

The current famine in the city is already very serious, but there are no crops on the land, and it will only get worse in the future.As a new official, this is the first and most difficult hurdle before him.

Shen Yunzhou looked heartbroken and helpless.Before he came, he had already learned about the situation of Yangui City, and he was already mentally prepared, but after being surrounded by those beggars and seeing these wastelands, he was still very touched.

"Master Shen, I want to buy land to grow crops." Liu Yunxiang said bluntly.

Shen Yunzhou laughed, "Ma'am is very capable."

Liu Yunxiang was puzzled: "What does your lord mean by that?"

"This place is dry and rainless, and other people's crops are dying of drought. Madam is so confident, she must have said hello to God, and there will be more rain."

"I……"

"Is Madam a dancer?"

The corner of Liu Yunxiang's mouth twitched, why did this man speak so badly.

Liu Yunxiang took out the map for Shen Yunzhou to look at, pointed to a line she drew, and said, "I want to dig a river to flow through our city of Yangui."

Shen Yunzhou shrank his pupils, and then smiled: "Actually, I have thought about this too, but I just thought about it, and I didn't tell others, mainly because I was afraid of being laughed at. I have a thin skin, unlike Madam, who is so cheeky. forged."

Liu Yunxiang: "..."

He talks like that, no one hit him?
"There is actually an old river channel in the place I drew. Of course, it will take a lot of manpower and financial resources to dig it through, but I am sure."

"Need people and money, is the Madam enough at the bottom of the box?"

Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Yan Mu, yes, it's not like you don't know about my relationship with him, right?"

Shen Yunzhou glanced at the river drawn on the map, and then at the wasteland in front of him. He turned his mind for a while, then sighed, and turned to look at Liu Yunxiang. His expression was a little excited, but he tried his best to restrain himself.

"On the way here, I was really worried. The emperor sent me here with high hopes. If I can't make any political achievements, I will be ridiculed by my colleagues and have no hope of promotion in the future. Madam, this time really helped me. The official is very busy, and this official is especially moved."

Shen Yunzhou was so moved, Liu Yunxiang felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

"That……"

"Then let's talk about it another day."

"what?"

"I just took office, so I can't manage it up and down, flatter me left and right, and then understand the real situation in the local area."

"But spring seeds wait for no one."

"That's right." Shen Yunzhou thought for a moment, "Well, Ma'am is not going to dig the river, so start the construction first, and prepare for other things. I will take over the official seal first, and then immediately let the people below prepare the land deed."

Liu Yunxiang nodded, and Shen Yunzhou reassured her. Next, digging river channels, preparing grain seeds, reclaiming land, etc., in order to catch up with the spring seeds, we must start preparations quickly.

Liu Yunxiang was busy these days and couldn't take care of his wishes, so he hired a woman and a maid to take care of her.

When she got home, she asked the beggar to go to Shuoxi, told Yan Mu about her idea of ​​farming, and then borrowed someone from him.Although people can be invited, the people are not as strong as the soldiers and have strong execution ability, so she has thought about it before, and the manpower is half the soldiers and half the people.

The beggar went to Shuoxi, and Liu Yunxiang went to Zhenbeiguan to buy grain.

Grain species need to be resistant to cold and drought, and those from the south cannot grow here, but there is an urgent shortage of grain at Zhenbei Pass, and there are not so many grain species left.She exchanged the grain brought from the south with them, a bucket can be exchanged for a bucket and a half, and people who wanted to exchange rushed in, just waiting for Zhang Qi's grain to arrive.

A few more days later, Zhang Qi's food continued to arrive.

Liu Yunxiang has already chosen the shop and the staff, and the Lingyun Grain Shop will open today.However, the grain shop does not sell grain at the moment. After the grain is replaced by grain, the rest will be eaten by the soldiers and common people who dig the river.

Yan Mu sent a lieutenant general to lead a battalion of soldiers over, and also found a few craftsmen with experience in river digging to command, and the river digging was in full swing.

Only at this time, Liu Yunxiang suddenly realized that Shen Yunzhou's land deed was not ready yet.

When she came to Futai Mansion, she saw a lot of beggars surrounded outside, they were stuck here, wanting the government to open a warehouse to release food.

Liu Yunxiang was brought in by a servant, and he heard Shen Yunzhou yelling at a group of his subordinates: "Where is the food in the granary? Where has it gone? Can any of you give me an explanation?"

Wearing a long gown and mustache, he looked like a cashier and said in a low voice, "My lord, our side has been suffering from drought for years, and we have not harvested enough food. We have been relying on relief food from the imperial court. How can there be surplus food in the granary?"

Shen Yunzhou frowned, "There are people out there starving to death every day!"

"No way, we are also worried."

When Shen Yunzhou heard this, he waved his hands irritably, telling these people to leave quickly.

After those people had left, Liu Yunxiang stepped forward.

"Master Shen, the people here have been making a living by selling medicinal materials and leather goods, but this season is indeed a lean time."

When Shen Yunzhou saw Liu Yunxiang, he clasped his fists together and saluted.

"Did Madam come to relieve my urgent need?"

Liu Yunxiang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "My lord, I forgot, I'm here to get the title deed."

"Oh, I really forgot about this matter. It's mainly because of a bunch of things that made me burnt out. I really don't have time to deal with it."

"But spring is coming soon, and the land needs to be reclaimed. We can't wait for this."

Shen Yunzhou sighed, "But I have to go to the nearby counties to borrow food. If I delay for a day, many people will die outside. It will take a month or two to borrow food."

Liu Yunxiang pursed her lips, the day lily was cold in a month or two.

She has put all her money and people into it, and the seeds have been prepared. If she can't get the land at this time, why not let her lose everything.

Liu Yunxiang thought for a moment, then said: "Our Lingyun Grain Shop is willing to solve the urgent need for the master of Futai, and set up a porridge shed in the city. What do you think?"

Shen Yunzhou clapped his hands, "That's great, that's great. Madam is benevolent and righteous, helping people in need. I'm really touched, very moved."

How touched, my eyes are red.

Liu Yunxiang gritted his teeth secretly, with a smile still on his face, "The title deed..."

"I will let the book prepare the land deed, and when it is ready, I will send someone to inform the wife to come to the government office to sign the deed."

"it is good."

Liu Yunxiang was on guard against Shen Yunzhou, and the waiter sent people to ask questions every day, but it was half a month later, and there was no news, Liu Yunxiang was in a hurry to get angry.

She found Qu Moran and asked her to help her find out.

Qu Moran waved his hand, "Don't worry about it, he is just a cunning fox, making it clear that he uses your people and money for his own affairs. Once the river is dug, it is his political achievement. The establishment of a grain store in the city relieves his emergency. .”

Liu Yunxiang gritted his teeth: "He was very sincere at that time."

"He can act, it's a pity if this guy doesn't become an actor."

Liu Yunxiang sat in the chair, she was really anxious to get angry, but to be honest, she was not unable to cure Shen Yunzhou.Who hasn't thought about it, she has made an agreement with the people who dig the river these days, let them plant land for her, and ensure that they have food to eat. Will go to the Yamen to make trouble.Once she evacuated the porridge shed again, there would be no chaos.

So he pinches him, and she grabs him by the tail.

"Well, you bribe him." Qu Moran said.

"what?"

"In the eyes of outsiders, he is honest and honest, self-denying and strict, but in fact he is very greedy, and he is just pretending to be noble."
