Chapter 177 Disaster Relief

Chapter 177 Disaster Relief
Wang Yu looked at Gan Qiwen's impatient expression, and said slowly, "Why are you in a hurry, maybe you were delayed on the way."

Gan Qiwen was able to be the Minister of the Household Department, and he was not someone who could be fooled by what Wang Yu said. If Wang Yu hadn't found out that he was reselling grain, he and Wang Yu would not have been together.

It's not the same person now, it's just that he has a clue and was threatened by Wang Yu to replace the relief food for him.

Therefore, after Wang Yu finished speaking, Gan Qiwen sneered, "Master Wang, are you fooling a three-year-old child? It has been a month since the disaster relief team set off from the capital. Even Xu Wenbin can come from Yong'an Mansion one by one." It’s back, let alone the playbook.”

Wang Yu raised his eyelids and glanced at him, a look of coldness formed on his face full of wind and frost, "Since the imperial court can't receive Xu Wenbin's memorial, then in your opinion, why?"

Gan Qiwen choked for a moment, speechless.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Wang Yu also fell silent, and the two thought at the same time: since the imperial court did not receive Xu Wenbin's memorial, it is very likely that nothing happened at all.

The two raised their heads and looked at each other, Wang Yu said first, "Master Gan, must you really replace the good food with moldy rice?"

Gan Qiwen snorted, "I personally supervised the completion of this matter, how could there be any mistakes?"

Besides, the raised grain is now lying quietly in the Guangtong warehouse.

Wang Yu frowned, and his tone was a bit unbelievable, "The Yong'an Mansion has been safe and sound. Could it be that someone has discovered the truth about moldy rice and replaced it with good food?"

Gan Qiwen's eyes widened slightly, and he gasped, "This is [-] shi of grain!"

Not nine stones, not ninety stones, but ninety thousand stones!
This amount of grain must be obtained by a large grain merchant. In the disaster relief team, who has the ability to produce so much grain?

Besides, if the moldy rice could be replaced, wouldn't Xu Wenbin sue the Holy Majesty with a piece of paper?

Xu Wenbin is not with them.

Even if the two of them tried their best, they couldn't think of the weirdness here.

But Gan Qiwen figured out one thing, his impatience gradually disappeared, replaced by a calm and calm, he stood up, with a smile on his lips, "Master Wang, the night is getting dark, curfew is about to come, I will go home first , Farewell."

Not only that, Gan Qiwen's attitude was also mixed with alienation and indifference.

Wang Yu saw that his attitude was different before and after, and after thinking about it, he understood why he changed his face.Because the deficit of Guangtong warehouse has been made up, even if he informs Gan Qiwen to resell the grain of Guangtong warehouse, he only needs to open the door of Guangtong warehouse, and he will be framed.

Now that the handle is gone, Gan Qiwen naturally no longer needs to be controlled by others, and Wang Yu knows that there will be nothing to blackmail Gan Qiwen in the future.

After thinking about it, Wang Yu nodded slightly like a spring breeze, "Then the old man won't leave Lord Gan any more."

Seeing Gan Qiwen's back disappearing in front of his eyes, Wang Yu's expression gradually became gloomy. He summoned his eldest son and told him to send someone to Yong'an Sanfu to inquire about disaster relief.

He really didn't want to make a mistake in this plan, and he still wanted to reap the benefits.

Neither Wang Yu nor Gan Qiwen expected that Gan Qiwen's every move was under Yeying's surveillance, and even the words between Gan Qiwen and Wang Yu were recorded by Yeying and summoned to Ji Fushou .

In the previous Yong'an Mansion, disaster relief was in full swing.

The prefects of Jiangxia and Mianyang came to see Xu Wenbin the next day, and they were all complaining to Xu Wenbin. Without exception, they all wanted more food and money.

The floods under his rule have also affected the second autumn harvest of this year. If he wants to get an excellent grade in this year's assessment, he has to get through the floods well.

If the person who came was not Xu Wenbin, who is known for being stern and selfless, but someone else, the prefects of the three prefectures would have exaggerated the flood situation under their control, just to ask for more money and food.

But now they dare not, for fear that Xu Wenbin will participate in the performance, and tell the truth honestly, but there are many begging in their words and deeds.

Seeing that Xu Wenbin wanted to wash his eyes, a big man wiped the corners of his eyes and howled dryly.

Because Yong'an Mansion was the worst hit, Xu Wenbin took several accountants to do the calculations, and finally decided to distribute 13 taels of silver to Yong'an Mansion, 9 taels of silver to Jiangxia Mansion, and 8 taels of silver to Mianyang Mansion.

As for the [-] shi of grain, Yong'an Mansion got [-] shi, Jiangxia Mansion got [-] shi, and Mianyang Mansion got [-] shi.

Although the two magistrates of Jiangxia Mansion and Mianyang Mansion were unwilling, they could not change Xu Wenbin's decision. Because of the urgent need for disaster relief, after receiving the money and food, they hurried back under the escort of soldiers.

It has been raining continuously for more than [-] days, and it finally stopped. The people in Yong'an Mansion all showed sincere smiles. The rain kept falling, and their clothes couldn't dry anymore, and they smelled bad.

Ever since he knew that Xu Wenbin wanted popularity, Ji Sibo seldom followed Xu Wenbin when he went to the porridge shed.Even Ji Sibo couldn't help but admire Xu Wenbin, even though he was a superficial gentleman, he did his best. Even on rainy days, he would arrive on time every day. Now in Yong'an Mansion, there are more people who know Xu Wenbin than Gucheng Zhou.

Even Xu Wenbin went to great lengths to ask soldiers to escort him to Jiangxia Mansion and Mianyang Mansion, and told the victims of the disaster some words of the majesty's kindness.

When the rain stopped, more people came and went to Yong'an Mansion. Ji Fushou brought people to Yong'an Mansion unobtrusively.

On this day, Xu Wenbin went to the porridge shed to give porridge as usual. As usual, he personally spooned porridge for the victims. Every victim who got the porridge would thank him a thousand times and leave with the porridge cherished.

After spooning for more than thirty people, Xu Wenbin's hands were already tired, and he made a gesture behind his back, and a small official next to him stepped forward and called out, "My lord, I have something to tell you."

So Xu Wenbin took advantage of the situation and handed the wooden spoon to the soldiers on the side, took off the work, and took the small officials to the side. His words were hard to hear, but his expression was very serious, which inexplicably made the victims feel that he was He was dealing with official business, so he didn't dare to disturb him.

Just when the porridge line was halfway through, there was a sudden noise.

Xu Wenbin looked up and found that the victims had a dispute, and he frowned slightly. He strode forward and said majesticly: "What happened? It's so noisy!"

His eyes fell on a few victims who took the lead in making trouble, his expression was serious, which made them flinch, but when he saw the people beside him, he became angry again, pointed to a thin man and said: "My lord, isn't he Disaster victim, he is impersonating!"
