Chapter 118 Gathering Food
"General, Madam, it's not that my subordinates are unwilling to ask the surrounding cities to borrow food, but the surrounding towns are very poor, and they have nothing to provide us with." Cui Nan sighed.

"What about the merchants in the city? Can they raise funds?"

Hearing this, Cui Nan shook his head.

"Although there are big households in our city, the wars have been raging during this period. They have already produced a lot, and there are not many that can be produced. Moreover, even if the preparations are made, there is no place for money to exchange for food in time!"

Mo Zhiyuan frowned and thought for a moment, "Is it true that the surrounding counties can't borrow any food?"

Hearing this, Cui Nan paused, hesitant to speak.

"If you are not willing to tell the truth, the people here will suffer."

Cui Nan struggled for a long time before telling the truth.

It turns out that Wucheng is not rich, and he has been busy building Wucheng for several years since he took office, but without much success. In recent years, he has been focusing on building Wucheng and has not had any contact with surrounding counties.

As time passed, everyone didn't know each other well, so when he went out to borrow food, the other party turned him away.

Cui Nan was very ashamed, Liu Ruyun stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"You don't have to blame yourself, you don't have to blame yourself. We can see from these people that you have put a lot of effort into your construction in the past few years. Let us handle this matter. We will definitely find a way to raise food and not let the people Suffer no more."

Hearing this, Cui Nan's eyes lit up, looking at Mo Zhiyuan and Liu Ruyun, his eyes were red, and he was about to kneel immediately, but was pulled up by Liu Ruyun.

"I have a way, but I need your cooperation."Mo Zhiyuan thought for a moment and smiled.

"The subordinates must fully cooperate." Cui Nan said.

After hearing Mo Zhiyuan's method, Cui Nan left very excitedly. Liu Ruyun looked at him curiously, "What did you just tell him?"

"Guess." Mo Zhiyuan looked at her, deliberately whetting his appetite.

Liu Ruyun curled her lips, and suddenly showed a big smile, "Good general, tell me quickly."

Mo Zhiyuan curled his lips into a smile, "The surrounding counties are unwilling to help, simply because they don't want to take this muddy water, but as long as there is a bigger bait, they will definitely be willing to come."

"What bait?"

This man usually doesn't talk much, but he has been suffocating bad things in his heart. It's probably good for this group of people to hide their skins.

"They don't want to help Wucheng now. They just want to see Wucheng fall and can't recover in a short time. But Wucheng has one advantage. What is the back mountain of Wucheng?"

"Medical materials!" Liu Ruyun reacted.

Although Wucheng suffered a catastrophe this time, although the people were poorly clothed and hungry, no one died of illness.

"Do you want to exchange them for food with medicinal materials?"

Mo Zhiyuan poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and shook his head, "You can buy medicinal materials anywhere, even if we lower the price, the advantage is not great."

"Then how do you exchange with them?" Liu Ruyun was a little dizzy.

"Come here with your ear, I'll tell you..."

……

Wucheng was built after this period of time. Although it has been almost repaired, the bustling streets have not yet recovered, and refugees are everywhere.

But today is different, the gate of the city opened, and in just a quarter of an hour, more than ten carriages have already entered, all of which came from other counties.

In the city lord's mansion, the hall used to receive refugees in the past, but today it is indeed extraordinarily clean and tidy. When Mo Zhiyuan and Liu Ruyun came, the city lords of more than a dozen counties had already taken their seats.

Seeing the two people come in, he quickly got up to say hello, "See General!"

Liu Ruyun raised her eyebrows. Although she learned about Mo Zhiyuan's plan that day, she never expected to attract such a county town lord. It seems that these people were indeed trying to escape.

Liu Ruyun coughed twice, raised her hand and asked everyone to stand up, "You are welcome, everyone, take your seats."

He exchanged a look with Mo Zhiyuan and said, "I asked everyone to come here today, I have something to discuss, Madam, please tell me."

Mo Zhiyuan nodded and clapped his hands, Chunshu and Dufeng arranged for their servants to bring up a plate one after another, and put it in front of the county towns.

"My lords, this is a gift prepared by me and the general for you, you can take a look."

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at each other in blank dismay. They were all very cautious. They had discussed it before coming here, and they could not contribute money to help Wucheng unless it really gave everyone enough benefits.

After a few people hesitated for a while, they opened it, and there was a note inside. After picking it up and opening it, everyone was shocked, slammed the table violently, and stood up, "General Mo, what does this mean?" , This is simply framing!"

"Framed?" Mo Zhiyuan sneered, "If you think this is a false accusation, you can open the second layer of the food box and look at the testimony inside."

Liu Ruyun sat in the back with a smile in her eyes. Of course she knew what was written in it. Mo Zhiyuan was really an old fox. He used his power to investigate all the mistakes made by these county towns.

Then Cui Nan was asked to come here on the grounds that General Mo was doing business with them, but he gave them a big gift as soon as he came!
"This..." Everyone opened the food box on the second floor, looked at the evidence inside, and suddenly slumped on the chairs like a deflated ball.

Mo Zhiyuan was a member of the emperor, and they didn't know whether Mo Zhiyuan had presented this evidence.

"Masters of the county, don't panic." Mo Zhiyuan said.

"The general did not pass on these evidences to the emperor."

Give them a reassurance first.

"General Mo, ma'am, what do you want us to do?" A wise county town spoke first.

Liu Ruyun got up, looked at the panicked behavior of the crowd, really felt ironic, these people are parents and officials, they also did a lot of secret deeds secretly, Mo Zhiyuan only found out some of them.

"I want you to save Wucheng!"

Hearing this, everyone was silent, Mo Zhiyuan frowned, and said in a cold tone: "The grown-ups are silent, do you think this gift is not enough?"

The county town that started to speak hastily said: "General, ma'am, no, it's just that our counties are not very rich, and there have been droughts all year round, and the grain collected by the people is also very scarce. Giving it to Wucheng is equivalent to cutting off our way of life."

"You don't need to worry about this. The general will report to His Majesty and solve this matter for you as soon as possible. But the situation in Wucheng is in crisis now, and the people are already starving. If they wait for the food to be sown, many people will starve to death. people."

Chunshu took out a contract, and Liu Ruyun stepped forward to show it to everyone.

"Wucheng will not treat everyone badly. This is the land deed of the mountain behind Wucheng. Ten stones of grain can be exchanged for a square of soil. At that time, I will divide the area. As long as it is marked with the mark of your county, the medicinal materials produced here It's all yours."
